Hi Guys,
My Galaxy S2 simply will not send any text messages.
It's a UK phone running on Orange network.
It was fine until last night, when I decided to root my phone.
Used ODIN and flashed with the insecure kernel, then rooted using the S2 Root app, and reflashed with 'I9100XWKE2_Kernel'
Now, whatever I do, text messages simply will not send. I've been in to Wireless and Network settings and enabled packet data etc, but nothing works,
Have I installed the wrong kernel, firmware etc?
Have you checked if your Message Centre Number is right?
SMS Screen -> Menu Soft Button -> Settings

Love you!
Never seen this number disappear before! Rooted my previous phone {Desire} and installed 100s of clean install ROMs over and over, odd!
where did it go?...
Have also developed this problem recently (possibly as a consquence of migrating from Litening Rom to Criskelo Rom), but I see people with new phones also have it so that may be unrelated.
I've checked the Settings both in Stock SMS and GO SMS Pro, but don't see an option for Message Centre number anywhere ... am I going blind, looking in the wrong place, or has the setting been moved elsewhere?
As on Criskelo Rom, Android is at 2.3.4.
Any ideas gratefully received ... really do not want to do a factory reset in the hope that it will get fixed ...
thanks.

Thank you for trying to help.
This is what I have:
Settiings:
Message font size
Split view
Background color
Storage settings
Delete old messages
Text message limit
Multimedia message limit
Text message (SMS) settings
Delivery reports
Read reports
Auto-retrieve
Roaming auto-retrieve
Creation mode
Push message settings
Push messages
Service loading
Notification settings
Notifications
Select ringtone
and that's it ...
I tried changing the value via the #*#*4636*#*# menu but it doesn't 'stick'.
thanks.
SMS problems
For those who experience problems with the SMS, probably the message center number has disappeared and displays as Not Set.
Open the SMS app and then press the left soft key Menu> select Settings>select Message Centre and type any of the numbers below in the Message Centre input box (depending on your network provider):
O2 - +447802000332
Vodafone - +447785016005
Orange - +447973100973 or +447973100974
It will sort you out

Just a heads up that this doesn't work on quite a few custom ROMs since they don't have an SMSC setting in the SMS app.
I ran in to this problem when I messed with the "preferred network type" setting in the *#*#4636#*#* menu. The only reason I did that is because my phone was stuck on 2G after upgrading my version of Resurrection Remix and I thought this would help. It didn't, and to be honest none of that menu seems to work properly on this phone. Settings don't stick and messing with them seems to screw stuff up in general, though perhaps I'm just stupid (likely).
My SMSC was then set to 00 and I kept getting an "update error" message when I tried to change it back to the right number. I flashed working backups of previous versions of Resurrection, only to have the problem persist (is this setting held on the SIM, rather than on the phone?) and even tried flashing to an old GB version of Lite'ning, still the problem persisted.
In the end I flashed back to stock Samsung ICS, and the SMS app in that ROM has a setting for SMSC when you press menu key -> settings. It was really annoying having to flash back to stock just to fix it, but I assume any ROM based on the stock Samsung version of ICS (rather than AOKP or CM9 based ROMs) will have this setting in the SMS app.
Just a tip for those not on stock Samsung based ROMs, I was tearing my hair out trying to fix the SMSC setting and thought this tip might be helpful.

I have the same problem, but nothing seems to work. After I flashed Resurrection 2.6 sms just stopped working. I flashed stock ICS. Same. I wiped everything I could wipe. I flashed other 3 ICS stock roms. Same problem. Flashed Paranoid Android ROM, now I'm back for the stock. The message Centre nr is correct, I tried *#*#4636#*#* and the SMSC code is correct there as well, but it is still not sending SMS. I am reaching my limit... I don't know what to do! I feel like I have tried everything...

Try flashing a complete older official firmware package then flash back to the latest using Kies?

Tried it. Flashed official carrier branded GB. Kies upgraded to ICS official soft. Upgrade worked, but it's still failing every sent text message. Again, checked and the message center number is correct, everything else works perfect, it's like a new phone, but with no possibility to send text messages. I have rooted and installed custom ROMS for years now on so many android phones with no problem, this is just ridiculous...
same problem.....
with go sms i can send messages, with stock message application doesn't work.
And i have succesfully configured the SMSC value
Check your carrier, I've had same exact problem and even went back to Gingerbread and upgraded to ICS officially. My carrier did something, elevate it past the customer service reps.

SOLVED!!!
I solved it! I walked into an Orange Shop and the girl checked their servers and there was a problem from the network. She reset something and then it worked with no problem. It took 2 minutes to solve! I flashed so many roms for nothing. Well, back to AOKP now... I'm happy!
Recently I got a weird problem on my XWLP7 rom, after I checked and deleted a voicemail one day the notification icon wouldn't go away, so I rebooted my phone and at boot it starts ringing using the default ringer the phone came installed with but nothing on the screen and the ringer keeps looping until i open the dialer and dial a number, then I can clear the notifcation and this happens everytime I restart my phone.
I've tried wiping cache/dalvik cache and putting in a fresh Phone.apk its a weird problem and I don't know how to make it go away, any suggestions?

This is one of biggest problem with Galaxy S2 HD LTE too!!!!!!!!!
Looks like your Messaging Centre enter has been deleted.
Type in your dialer >> *#*#4636#*#* >> under SMSC type in your Network Messaging Centre (if you don't know it ask your network operator) >> DON'T press update >> Hit the back button and exit the app.
After changing my wife's SGS3 from stock to a custom ROM she's having constant SMS sending failures (i.e. Not a single SMS can be sent at any time, from any where. Recieving SMS is fine). No such problems on stock, but on OMEGA v8, Foxhound 1.1, and Blackstar v3 sending SMS fails every time. Apart from that all custom ROM's work perfectly, and all were installed after full wipe/factory reset --> wipe cache --> wipe dalvik.
Any suggestions?

Have you checked your sms message centre number ??
Fixed
Thanks vegeta1, that did the trick With helpful replies like that your "Thanks" count will soon be OVER 9000!!!
For anyone else running into the same problem, here's the fix:
Dial *#*#4636#*#*.
Select "Phone Information"
Scroll down until you find "SMSC"
Refresh it.
This should fix the issue, but if refreshing the SMSC doesn;t work you'll have to enter it manually and press "Update". Luckily I could get the correct number from my phone and enter it on my wife's

Might be a case of corrupt application data.. Try to do the following..
Goto Settings > Applications
Select Messaging from the list and Clear Data. Tell me if this works..
Thank me if I have helped you in any way..

Well if this problem occur even after a full wipe / cache / data / system .. Does this simple action would solve it ?
Anyway, i'm out of solution so i'm gonna try it and tell you if it works ..
It didn't work .. Still facing to the same problem..
I also tried an other sim card (from a friend, which is on an other carrier) and same problem..
So it came from the phone especialy and not from the carrier or the simcard
It occur the most of the time after a quick reply ( i mean, i receive a text at the same time i send one ) or if i text 2 time quickly .. (like " Hi how are you ? " "don't forget me" at 2 second between them)
don't know what to do now
Which ROM are you currently using bro..
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Now i came back to Stock XWLPD with Siyah kernel ..
Check if your baseband and imei is in tact..
Btw, can you call to others? Can you receive calls and texts?

Baseband is ok
imei is ok too..
Yes i can call to other, and receive all text and call too ..
That's why it seems so strange that some text is just pending ..

No news ?
