i have a rooted and custom rom-ed galaxy s2 running slim bean build 4. after i flashed this and rebooted my device, i noticed that i was not receiving any signal. after going into settings > about phone> phone status, i saw that there was nothing for the signal and carrier was unknown and the signal was at 0. i went into the contacts application and tried to see if my contacts show up....they dont. after clicking settings in it, it said that i could import contacts but the only option available was through my phone storage. shouldnt there be an option to import from sim?
Check to make sure your IMEI number is there. There are a couple of roms that will remove it. If it is not ther try flashing a different rom and see if it comes back or restore your nandroid backup which I am sure you have.
Restart your phone and check whether you will be asked to enter pin. If so, download galaxysim unlock With a wireless or search for the apk on XDA.

I fixed it by reverting to stock (no root or stuff) and then rerooted and reflashed. It works now

Hi guys,
few days ago I've decided to move forward with Fusion Update 7 ROM to Fusion Update 8. Procedure was about normal beside the fact I had also purged SD card. Upgrade went well, but:
I cannot get mobile connection
No SMS can be sent
No matter which ROM/RADIO I had flashed after my previous move everything beside those two is working. So I can get WIFI connection or receive SMS, I can also call and receive calls.
My configuration:
- Hardware: HTC HERO GSM (white)
- Recovery: AmonRa 1.7
- ROM: FROYO_2.2_elelinux_v2.2 (at the moment)
- RADIO: 63.18.55.06OU_6.35.15.01 (at the moment)
Additional info:
- SMSC is set correctly (checked using *#*#4636#*#*)
- APN list is correct
- rollback to vanilla 1.5 ROM from RUU not helped
- other SIM cards from other carriers work the same way
I trying to get some debug information using adb, but only thing I can find is that ppp connection is missing in netcfg.
Do anyone know how to initiate Mobile Connection through adb shell ? or anyone get similar problem before?
Thank in advance,
Problem solved. During messing with ROMS my SIM card must been somehow damaged.
After more tries with other SIM cards my phone started to work finally.
You are missing the correct apn settings for your mobile data and also missing or have the wrong SMS service number, have a search on the forums here, or Google and you should find them. Always worth backing these up or writing them down, as not all rom's have necessarily got all providers son's included.

Thank you for fast reply.
I checked those before:
SMSC:
- refreshed with *#*#4636#*#* and those looks correctly for my carrier
APNs:
- there where missing fields in APN config which I've updated according to carrier configuration
Still nothing had changed.
I assume that it must be some kind of config that do not change between ROMS.
(I will update first message with those info.)
Did you checked with an other SIM/carrier?
Yes I did.
Effects where the same.
I've also rolled back to vanilla 1.5 ROM from RUU. Nothing changed.
It must be some kind of external configuration that is not changed via ROM replacement. Can this be true?

Hi,
I am having trouble with My Samsung Galaxy S2 (ICS 4.0.3) Sim alert and mobile tracker.
I go to Settings -> Location and security -> Find my mobile and everytime I try to check SIM CHANGE ALERT it says in progress but it doesn't check so I am unable to check or set up the other two options (Alert message recipients or remote controls) so can't track my mobile with Dive.
I have a samsung account and I am signed in...
Can anyone help me out - be much appreciated.
Thank you.

Maybe you should try to remove your sim card, reinsert it and try again,,,
If it does not work, check other security options for any errors..
Yes, i have tried that...but nothing changes....
I had this problem the other week. If I remember correctly, I had to delete the Samsung account (don't worry, there's a bug in Samsung's ICS 4.0.3 which allows you to remove it without doing a factory wipe!), then re-add it, and go into Samsung Apps->My page->Downloads to check that it's working properly.
Oh, and it should go without saying that you need a data connection (3G or WiFi) and your Samsung account password...

Yes it's works ! Thanks for your help cowbutt....
we just need to remove and re-add the samsung account...
1. just go to Settings > Accounts and sync then remove your samsung account from there....
2. then go to Settings > Security > Find my mobile > check the menu "SIM change alert" then insert your samsung id and password...now the menu is checked.
for menu "Remote Controls" same as step 2.
if one of the above menu checked will automatically add your samsung account to account and sync menu.

SIM alert sending IMEI instead of Phone number
After ICS upgrade 4.0.3 in Galaxy S2, SIM change feature sending IMEI number when SIM changing!! Previously it was sending phone number.

Yes , I tested this feature on Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-i9100G, it works and It really sends the IMEI number.
But if you checked the source of the message it will be definitley , the phone number.
so you have both IMEI and Phone number.

Thanks

Exactly same problem i have been gone thru,and ur comment made it to resolve imediately.Actually i hav disabled my samsung account few days ago due to low space in phone memory and 'sim change alert' and ' remote sim ' could not get open in settings.Now it gets configured after enabling samsung account otherwise it says 'Unfortunately!! Setting has been stopped'
I have a problem on my Galaxy S3, running android 4.1.1 on Vodafone network in the UK. It is not rooted.
I want to make sure the phone is unlocked before buying a sim card for use in France
Using the stock dialer, "*#7465625#" gives me "ussd code running" followed by "Unknown command".
Looking around elsewhere, others have blamed it on Mobile Tracker, which as far as I can see, I don't have. The only solution I have seen is a factory reset, which is a scary prospect for me, not having any idea what that entails. And then reinstalling apps one by one until the culprit is found. I have also seen comments about ussd security issues. I am slowly heading out of my depth here (I know my way round windows quite well, but phones are unknown territory for me,).
I am hoping some clever souls on this forum might be able to help. Is this a known, and solved, problem? Or is a factory reset my best bet?
If I have to reset, I know where the reset is in the menu system - on the same page as a checked box saying backup. So...does does the back up happen automatically or when I press reset or have I got it completely wrong? If not, which files do I need to save away from the phone? What happens to things like contacts I can remove the external SD card, so that won't be an issue. How do I reinstall the apps, particularly the ones I have already paid for?
I have spent most of the afternoon tried to get a handle on this and my head is spinning now.
Any help at all, would be very warmly received.

1st solution : root your phone, very easy procedure then you can flash the same stock ROM from sammobile.com to become unrooted again without wiping/resetting your phone.
2nd solution: download APPSAVER from market for free, then you can save all the applications you have downloaded but not the DATA (for example you can save the game itself but not the progress you have achieved)
as for the contacts, go to the contacts folder - menu import/export - export to usb storage and voila all your contacts will be written in a single file that you can import after you reset your phone
as for SMS, you can download "SMS Backup & Restore" from market for free to backup then restore your SMSs
after you perform the above, go to Settings - Back up and reset - Factory data reset and your phone will be back as you received it.
On the other hand if the phone is locked you can always unlock it using Voodoo S3 on the Play Store, it can sim-unlock your device if you're rooted of course.
Great reply, thank you!
Rooting...a bit loth to do that while still under guarantee and at my level of experience. One day I will get hold of an old phone and try it with that first.
Appsaver - what a brilliant app, thank you again. If it is one particular app that is the problem (and that is the sense that I get from elsewhere), then I can use this to back up my apps, uninstall them all, check for the ussd error. If it has disappeared, then reinstall apps one at a time until the error reappears. If it hasn't disappeared, then I can go the reset route, after backing up contacts and SMS.
Thank you so much for your help.

hello guys,
i need some help please, i've just rooted my samsung galaxy tab 2 - GTP3100 by following this video at youtube, since i cant put outside link
it's on the first video list when you type "how to root galaxy tab 2" this video is made by droidcheats
Then i pressed volume up + power button and ended backing up my device on internal sd card wrongly. Now my phone working very very slow because of memory low.
I've tried to deleted the back up by pressing volume up + power and then deleted the files in "back up and restore"
but my device still low on memory, i tried to reset it few times and suddenly it goes on black screen
my tablet still able to finished load samsung logo and still looked fine on homescreen
but after i slide it to unlock, the black screen is occurred
i still can access settings, home and back button
specially when i access settings, i can't do anything like formating device or deleting applications
i've tried to restore factory settings using clockworkmode by pressing home button and volume up
it worked.
but when i try to restored my previous back up data, the black screen re occurred.
what should i do?
if i can't fix this problem and will have to reset on factory settings, is there any application to read the back up data? since i backed up it on external sd card
probably if i can read the data, i could restore some important data.
thanks before
dude

OK so can you do me a favour try to install kingoandroidroot from www.kingoandroidroot.com
And download the website download and not the cnet option as there will be two options
Once downloaded try to root the phone again and tell me what happened
Do you know what I think is that the root which you rooted earlier didn't downloaded the phones driver so try the kingo root
And rooting software in the phone is SuperSu
