Hello
I've only just flashed my Samsung galaxy ace GT-S5830i with jellyblast 3.0.3. ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1976674 ) Everything went fairly smoothly and now I have an almost fully working jelly bean 4.1.1 install.
Unfortunately, I can't connect to my Network Operator which is Tesco Mobile in the UK.
If I go to " Settings > Wireless & network settings > Mobile networks > Network Oporators" jelly been searches for available networks and comes back with a few options, one being O2, which I think tesco uses. But when I select O2, the phone says that my sim card does not allow connection to the network.
So... my question is, how can I connect to Tesco mobile network if the option is not available in the options provided?
You don't have Jelly Bean 4.1 on your phone, let alone fully working
Now, please tell me if you type *#06# in dialler
Then what do you se
Edit :
And WRONG SECTION
Please post in Q&A Section next time if you have any questions

No don't press the call button
Go to phone and type *#06#
You will see a box with IMEI written on top
Tell if there is a number written there or is it blank?
And it is Gingerbread, not Jelly Bean
To confirm, go to Settings>About Phone and repeatedly click on Android Version
If there are Jelly Beans FLYING AROUND
Then, congratulations, you a Jelly Bean device
If there is only a static image, sorry, you have Gingerbread
WOW!

Thats just S***! Did I make a mistake or is it a trick by the jellyblast people?
Anyway, thanks for your help so far, are you able to point me to a jelly bean rom that I can actually use on the GT-S5830i or do I need to brick the device and take it back to the network operator?

I thought the imei number was hard coded. meaning, part of the hardware. is that not the case?
What does loosing the imei mean?
Ok, so the imei number was stored in the EFS folder right? and if I haven't backed that up, then i guess i'm screwed?
If that is the case then I guess the only option is to take the phone back completely bricked?
Is there any other way I can correct this problem?
thanks

Lol. Thats a nice way to get rid of this phone...and buy a new one if you are out of your warranty period. You will get your imei number back....just flash any stock rom through odin again. Once you get back on stock...backup your imei number using galaxy toolbox app so that you dont think about crucifing your phone again. ( I wont be surprised even if you want to....because i usually feel like doing that.

I've actually just bought this phone with a new and very cheap contract (what a dooch). Flashing hadn't even crossed my mind 2 days ago when I got it. If only I'd known what I now know, I definitely wouldn't have got this particular phone, seems as though its a real pain for everyone.
Thanks for your tips by the way.
I've downloaded the stock firmware from sammobile.com for this phone, will the combination of restoring the imei, backing it up like you say and flashing with sammobile's rom be enough to restore the original setup?
If so, I might use the 14 day grace period to change my mind about this phone and get a slightly more flashable one.

Flash stock firmware if its splitted already...... Believe me when i say..... Get a phone which doesnt have a broadcom chipset. Doesnt matter even if its a phone running on pentinum one. But not broadcom.

Thanks to everyone for their help.
I sorted the phone by putting the stock firmware back on, deleting offending files and unrooting it. I then went back to the shop and swapped it for a Galaxy S II GT-I9100 (wohooo what a phone!)
I will be rooting it at some point but I have to be sure I can do it without problems.
Thanks again

My czn galaxy s2 is working perfectly has xwlpd 4.03 except he detects sim but shows no service for sim...

i will be very thankful to u.........
Hi!
Since you are new here, it might be the best time for you to read the forum rules just to get you informed.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/announcement.php?a=81 check it out!
1. try inserting your sim in another phone, if you find a signal in the other phone, then there might be something wrong with the s2..
if there is still no signal, then it is a network related problem and call your network operator
2. if you find a signal in the other phone and not in your s2, then you must flash a modem..
DEFINITION:
*Modem/Radio/Baseband is all the same thing and can be seen by going to Settings - About Phone - Baseband. It's basically a driver which receives and sends Mobile Network signals as well as handling switching between GPRS, 3G, HSDPA etc....... (but not WiFi connection, that and switchover between Mobile Network and WiFi is handled by the kernel). Reasoning as to why Modem has no influence on WiFi can be found in this post by Entropy - http://<b>http://forum.xda-developer...count=6556</b>
USAGE:
*There is no one "Best" modem for everybody. Unfortunately you actually have to try to find the modem which works perfectly for you on performance, strength and battery drain levels. The good thing is that from my lengthy 8 month experience with Galaxy S2, I'm happy to report that there are a few modems that seem to perform well geographically for most users. These modems are KE7, KH3, KI3, KI4, KL1, LPS, NEKF2, NELP2 & NELP3.
COMPATIBILITY:
*Modems do not need to be matched up with firmware like it's done with ROMs and Kernels. For example, a KI4 modem can be used with a KL1 ROM and the other way round. The only thing you need to pay attention to is what model your SGS2 is. 9100 and 9100 modems are compatible across both models. However, 9100 model and US variants are not cross compatible since the devices are designed to work on different bands.
INSTALLATION:
*I will add a flashing guide to post number 5 soon, hence why it says "Work in progress.....". For the moment I suggest asking Mr. Google to do a search for you. Bottom line is, for CWM packaged modems you need to be rooted and have a working CWM recovery (flash the CWM modem zip within recovery). For .TAR packages, all you need to do is flash it while your device is in Download Mode and connected to ODIN. The .TAR file should be selected in the PHONE field. Don't touch anything else.

I have an S3 i9305 4g lte version, on orange network uk. I rooted the phone using CWM. Then installed the Panorama ROM, using the guide on here. And yes i have used the search function, followed pretty much every guide there is. Still no solution. Im beginning to think my phone will forever be caught up with this problem
on top of there being no service. The phone itself has started to randomly turn off, and also lags!
I regret rooting lol just wasn't meant to be.
Can anyone help me? Literally, I would be so grateful if someone can actually help me fix this problem. I basically just want my network service back, regardless of unrooting or not.
Thanks a million in advance!

Don't let one unsuitable ROM tarnish your experience Try flashing a different modem.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1740061
Also, if you're unhappy with the ROM, flash another one. Plenty of good roms out there.

I'm no modem expert, but search based on your region http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1356325
Try different ones to see which one works best for you. Also search those threads for your network/region to see what other people are using.
Does your IMEI match the one under the battery?
Do you have an EFS backup?
Also, this is a section for the i9300

i think the problem is with the fact i dont have an efs folder, and that there is no back up either. There is no baseband number on the status, and also no imei is showing.

Hi guys,
i'm an italian boy that has a galaxy s3 with a problem: i can't call or send messages because on the screen there is "not registered on network"
i do nothing, my phone is genuine...i didn't try to change rom or to do something...the problem is appared suddenly.
How can i fix the problem? imei code is intact and my telephone operator didn't block my phone or imei...
i know that in this forum there are some topics about this problem, but it is very difficult for me find them...
help me please...i haven't assistance...
thank you
Look for the serial, if it starts with 00000 or something like that, you nees to use Ariza Patch.

...my wife had this problem last week. Phone was saying that it was not registered on Network. Looked around on the net, checked settings on phone and found that if you turn the phone off for a few minutes and back on, it re-registered to the network. Very basic, don't know why it did it, but it's now OK

i was on omega rom v49 but i wanted to return to stock and un root (4.1.2) to do some things i had a problem while restoring the cable disconnected but i started the process again and everything worked fine except for the network i couldn't call and when someone calls me it gives him that my phone is ringing and i got nothing (be aware u may have got many calls)
i tried some videos from the youtube and tried ariza patch (i dont no if i did it right or not i choose patch 5 and rebooted but nothing worked ) and flashed some modems but nothing

This worked for me after flashing S4 Revolution ROM V5, thank you i've got my IMEI back.
First of all, this is not my first time flashing a custom rom. I've been using different roms for months. Before this tragedy I was using MIUI as my primary rom and CM10.2 temasek's UNOFFICIAL Build - V10 as my secondary rom with Googy-Max Kernel 1.6.7 installed. Everything works perfectly fine. Yesterday I decided to install Resurrection Remix® v4.0.6 as my secondary rom. During the installation the installer asked me to choose one modem. And I randomly chose one of them. After that I rebooted my phone into secondary rom, but there was only black screen. Then I took out the battery, reboot it into my primary rom. UNFORTUNATELY, THE MOBILE SIGNAL WAS GONE. I tried to flash different modem/baseband and tried everything I can find on the internet. Now the signal shows" Emergency Call Only". I used Odin to restore my phone to stock rom, everything on my internal storage is gone BUT THE SIGNAL IS STILL "Emergency Call Only". The SN is normal (not all 00000000) but imei is wrong. Can someone tell me what the f*** is happening to my phone? Thank you so much! :crying::crying::crying::crying:
Update: I sent my phone to Samsung care. And they said some sort of chip on my phone is broken. And they charge me 200 dollar for replacement! Hell no! Any ideas??

The stupid thing is I didn't know efs before this. And there is a backup. But nothing happened after I restored it. Another thing is the Titanium Backup on my phone became a free version. It should be a premium one. Does that mean I lost my efs? Then how come I still got the correct IMEI and SN?
Well if your imei is intact what's the fuss ? stick to the newer base bands

I just found out that the IMEI is different from my sticker. But the SN is the same. There's no signal man.

Okay..now I realize that my IMEI has been changed to 00499010640000 which is different from my sticker. But the S/N are the same. Is it fixable?

That's generic IMEI. Do you have EFS folder backup ?

If not reset flash counter flash stock firmware and visit service centre

Ouch...
If you didn't have efs backup then visit to service centre was 'a must' move.. Although I have no idea how much they charge , 200 $ kinda seems too much /// @rootSU should know better

Hey Guys,
Had a problem with my Galaxy S3-I9300, it wasn't charging, turning off on it's own, wouldn't turn on and etc.
I took my phone to a repair shop where I still had insurance. They fixed the phone and everything looked good until I tried updating my firmware, then I found out they rooted my phone without even telling me.
When I asked them why the did it they said that they changed some "electrical component" and without root my phone won't have any reception and internet (is that even possible?).
My questions are:
Is it true what they are telling me?
Can I still update my firmware some how?
Can I unroot the phone for the firmware update and then root it again?
Update:
I just got an update from the store that when they "fixed" the problem, the electronic number (IEMI?) disappeared and that's why they didn't have a reception, to get it back they had to use root.
How is that even possible?
I really appreciate your help, I really don't know who else to ask about this.
Thank you!

Samsung Kies doesn't let me update because it's rooted.

1. No, root has nothing to do with reception (Unless they changed your radio - which could be possible, but still nothing related to root)
2. Yes, use Odin and flash the stock firmware from http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares - you'll need to register.
3. Yes, but better to just use point 2.
Good luck!

Its simple. If your phone is rooted, and you have a custom recovery create a FULL nandroid backup and save it to your PC. Then read the unrooting thread and completely unroot your phone. First by running triangle away app reset your flash counter, then factory reset your phone, and flash the latest firmware available for your country(you can also cross check modem and CSC codes) via odin. All details are in the thread i mentioned. If the issues fixed by the company show up, reroot your phone and flash a custom recovery like CWM. Copy the nandroid backup to phone and restore. No harm done and you will find out if they are lying or not.
To update OTA you need to be fully stock and unrooted. Otherwise you can downlaod the firmware for your device at www.sammobile.com and flash via odin. As for your last question yes you can but there isnt much practicality in that.

can you please explain how root brings back the IMEI?
It does not and if your phone has been rooted then its a non genuine Samsung repair as root voids warranty .STICKYS

U nid root to get the imei back. Obviously u dun get ur imei just by rooting. The method to do it REQUIRES root.
