Hello everyone...
I bricked my galaxy S2 HD LTE (SHV-E120L) when I wanted to flash the TeamLeader 1.3 ROM. I managed to have it unbricked, but now I have a modem problem.
The phone is stuck in flightmode, and impossible to disable it.
What do you think I should do now?
Thanks,
Mark
What did you do specifically that blocked it in the first place, aside from trying to install the rom, is that specific rom not compatible with the S2 HD LTE?
I would say reflash a STABLE rom or try flashing a MODEM and see what that does for you, unless you're not sure why it got bricked in the first instance, or you're confident enough that if anything went wrong you can bring it back again
Did you check for your imei number in settings?

Almost got a similar problem here...
phone got struck in flight mode or no mobile network is detected... i dialled in the dialer to make it show the IMEI no... it said IMEI:____________ well nothing
Info: i am on my stock ROM, not rooted nothing... 2.3.6
i uninstalled norton internet security, that's where this problem started... (it actually asked me whether i wanted to renew the norton software, since my 60 days license is got over...)
Thanks in advance!!

I got the EL bricked because I wanted to flash the TeamLeader ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1468998) with Odin. In that process something must have gone wrong because I had an error. And then I made the capital mistake of rebooting the phone. Since then it was bricked.
Is the MODEM part of the TeamLeader ROM or where can I find an adequate modem to flash?
Also, I didn't make a backup of the original efs directory. Stupid, I know.

I didn't make a backup of the efs directory, so the original IMEI is lost I'm afraid.
Hi, Kies doesn't recognize my phone.
I have flashed CheckROM RevoHD v6 on my device (kernel xwla4). Is it common that Kies doesn't recognize device or it should by normaly found?
Any solution...?

When you say doesn't recognize you mean doesn't connect with the phone at all or it connects but doesn't show the name and stuff???
Kies stucks some times... There is no problem of the Rom it should found it... Try (if you haven't already) unplug the phone sometimes and try it again.. Mine stucks all the time.. It should be ok.. at some point
Tell me if anything changed..
Try all the other Kies wont connect to my phone posts for answers .

Kies works with custom ROMs? That's news to me. :|
If you want Kies to work (especially for using Kies to get new firmwares) you should probably go back to stock.
It's normal bud, checkRom does not come with the Kies MTP app. I had the same issue. If you want to update via kies. Then go back to stock ROM and Kernel

Ok but I thought it is more or less enhanced stock ROM not completely customized.
Btw the main reason is I need to import contacts from HTC phone (vcf file) to my SGS2. I was going to try doing that in Kies.
Maybe anybody figured out how to do that in other way?

Is your HTC phone an Android phone? Then on that phone, sync your contacts to your Google account. Then on your SGS2, do the same thing. Done.

You didn't stipulate that.
Then sync with an Exchange account if you have one. Or some other account. Or if you don't want to share your contacts with any account you have, use your SIM card.
Ok so what about apps like New PC Studio? Ive installed it and also there i have problems to find my phone, is it the same because of using stock customised ROM?

Ok, i have played a little with my sgs2 and it figured out that it can recognise and import vcf files as well, the only case is to put such file directly on /sdcard/external_sd/
Now i will try to convert vcf file to xls file, edit it, convert back into vcf and import to my device. If anybody can advice such converter working in two ways and could share with such info i would appreciate that.

Hey guys, I'm in desperate need of some assistance here.
I have an international Galaxy S3 i9300, rooted and with CWM.
I flashed Criskelos XXDLH8 ROM yesterday, and I followed the instructions to the dot.
The flash seemed to be problem free.
However, once the phone booted and i was on the new ROM, i tried to make a call, but I kept getting an error message saying "not registered on network".
I instantly freaked out, and wiped my phone+cache, and flashed stock Samsung ICS (XAALE8) via Odin.
The phone booted normally into the stock ICS. But instead of seeing signal bars on the status bar, all I can see now is just a circle with a line through it . :crying:
I did some research on the net, and didn't really find anything to help me, which is why I'm here, seeking ANY help from you guys.
I'm freaked out guys! Any assistance would be SO appreciated! thank you!
don't panic
go settings >wireless and networks more settings > access point names
make sure you have something in there
mine says Vodacom ( internet)
look up apn for your area.
otherwise you can try flashing a different modem for your region or even try another region from here

My IMEI has not changed or been deleted (EFS seems to be intact), in case you were wondering.. hmm...
I have no idea whats wrong with my S3

Just restored my EFS folder from a backup i made.. no luck.. hmm..
My sim card works on my spare phone, so thats not the problem.. do u think it might be an issue with my sim card slot?
I mean, i didnt physically drop the phone or anything, this issue seems to have originated after flashing that custom ROM...
Thanks anyways for your suggestions mate, appreciate everything I really hope someone can help me out here, im kinda lost..Sigh
Im also encountering the same proble. But instead, i have network signal (there are signal bars), but i am un able to send/receive messages and calls. I still have the same IMEI number but my Serial Number became 00000000.

hey dude,
i tried pretty much every software fix i could find.. but no luck i returned the phone and got it replaced. Apparently, there was an issue with the radio on the motherboard.
Goodluck mate!

Are you sure the firmware is suitable for your model for your phone's factory? There are at least three regions of producing Galaxy S3 International version. Some final product made in Vietnam and Korea has a lot of problems and need to be changed to the board made in China due to software problem. You should try using the "Firmware Upgrade And Initialization" in the "Tools" in the Samsung KIES 2.5 because it will download the latest official firmware according to your model and serial number and it will wipe your phone at the same time.

Thanks for your support.
I tried to repair using the firmware update and initialization, but I could not find exactly where it is. I could reach a pop-up window saying that if my phone had a problem it would be listed in this window... Not sure if I am doing it correctly.
Do you have any tutorial link/post where I can find the proper instructions for it? I am familiar with odin, but not kies...
Thanks in advance!

You can find this function in your Samsung KIES 2.5 which is the software to be installed in your computer. Then you will see the top bar, one of them is Tools and you will find the function in the Tools menu.
Most likely a locked phone ...

It sounds very much like a locked phone that was unlocked in a suboptimal way
Unless you have the original EFS (on which you might try to do a cleaner unlock) you will be "condemned" to always need a patched modem.
The short story is that network locking is done in a protected/checksumed database in the EFS partition and some older unlocks were not even attempting to keep the database "clean" - they were forcing a flag there but since there was some other check at a later time you need a special "patch" in the GSM modem code - that is located in a different partition and might be a little different from one country/carrier to another. Unfortunately the modem is (usually) updated with major ROM updates, so you have now lost that patch - but you can take a look below for a fix:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1918601
The bottom line is that (unless you restore original EFS and do a very clean unlock) you will always have to re-apply the modem after you program a new full ROM!
Hi,
I purchased a I9100 secondhand online, the previous owner tried unlocking it and corrupt the EFS and it was not recognizing the SIM when I got it.
So I flashed I9100XWKK5 and have run the repair tool on play store and tried deleting EFS manually (after backing up) also run EFS Pro but no luck in putting my IMEI back on.
I have come across this tool unlocksamsungonline.nl/unlock-samsung-I9100, they claim to be-able to fix the IMEI, before I buy the login has anyone tried this before and does it work?
TIA

Users have mixed results when repairing /restoring the EFS folder. You can search and I mean thoroughly search every folder on the phone for a backup of the folder. Previous owner may have rooted the phone and many custom Roms and kennels backup the EFS folder as part of the installation process.
All the best

I have searched through the phone and cannot see any sign of a backup of any sort, any other ideas? or should I go and try this software from unlocksamsungonline.pl

No backup means you have 3 options:-
1) Service centre/authorised repairer.
2) Local mobile repair shops (you may find one who is capable of doing the things Odia/service centre can do).
3) Contact Odia by PM & wait patiently for a response (which means no sending him 'reminders' - if you do, he'll quite rightly ignore you. He isn't your servant). He may be able to recover your IMEI (for a small 'donation'). But on the other hand, I'm not even sure if he still does this kind of thing (he used to). I cannot stress the 'send him 1 PM & wait' enough. You may think this is urgent, he won't. So if you do go down this path, respect that.
SHW M250 no signal after flashing to I9100 ROM
I flashed my SHW-M250s with I9100 4.0.4 ROM, everything was working good for about 2 months,
suddenly my IMEI changed to 0049 fake IMEI and I lost signal on SKTEL.
I tried to reflash with SHW-M250S after that my IMEI is ok but still no signal and an unknown text appear on the home screen whenever I flash with SHW-M250S ROM, (SCREENSHOT ATTACHED). also I tried different ROMS of SHW M250S and still same problem.
whenever I flash to I9100 my IMEI changes to 0049 fake imei,, and when I flash to SHW-M250s no signal and an unknown text but the IMEI changes to original.
I tried to insert different network SIM with SHW-M250 S ROM, it was working, but still that annoying text on home screen is there.
Also I tried everything on this Forum , try to repair EFS folder etc but no luck.
Do anyone has the idea...?
Please reply to me.
You're mixing thing up here, try backing up your EFS folder while on m250s, make sure you back it up with 2 or 3 app. (ktool and simlar).
Keep flashing your devices ROM till you get all networks going and stick to the cell's original region.
Now, once on I9100, start with GB ROMs.
And then some, try sii_repair from play store and give it a shot at restoring those previous back ups with the same tools.
Try to keep them ROMs apart till you solve one of the two issues.

I tried everything you mentioned but still no luck.
Is it possible that SKTEL has blocked my IMEI on their network.
While I still can access other networks..?
Check you IMEI status online.
Don't think so tho, if it would be blacklisted then you wouldn't be able to use any nerwork.
Are you using the same partition lay out for m250s & I9100?

I am using diffrent PIT files for each I9100 and M250s.
On the online status it shows an old model of Samsung, not the SHW-M250s while it says IMEI is ok.
Alright, when in "I9100 mode" flash from GB to JB (thru ICS 4.0.3 and 4.0.4).
We need to see if you get your IMEI right at some point on those ROMs.
Flash CM 10.1 to see if that helps.
You're not having any trouble with m250s ROMs right?

Hi,
Me and my partner both got s3's recently his on contract mine on like buy as you view. Mine received the 4.1.1 update through the phone and after waiting a few weeks and still nothing on his we decided to update it via computer. I used odin because i saw on a post that thats what you were supposed to use and flashed it to 4.1.1. I then realised i had put the wrong version on (German one i think) and it was causing errors so we flashed again to 4.1.1 the UK version.
He is now on:
Android version 4.1.1
Baseband version I9300XXDLID
I do not know if that's correct but everything seems a ok.
However since then my phone received the 4.1.2 update and we want the same update on his phone. It does not find it on the phone. Since then i learned KIES is the samsung software not odin. No updates can be found via KIES cos the software isn't supported. I want to be able to use KIES with his phone again, can i reverse the odin update anyway?? I rang samsung and he told me it will be like that forever now and i will never be able to use KIES?
Can anyone assist me. I really want ot be able to update from KIES again instead of using odin.
Sorry if i sound like a noob im only good with apple technology haha!! :laugh:
(edit)
P.S. My software is
Android version 4.1.2
Baseband version I9300XXELLA
we are both on Orange if thats any help? His came on Ice Cream Sandwich though and mine came on 4.1.1
If the phone isnt locked on orange just download 4.1.2 from sammobile and instal via odin as u did beffore.

Ypu can achieve this by using KIES.
Open kies
Start recovering and make sure you can put your cells serial number somewhere
Connect phone only when kies asks to

Ypu can achieve this by using KIES.
Open kies
Start recovering and make sure you can put your cells serial number somewhere
Connect phone only when kies asks to
Voila, stock as used to.
Kind regards,

I've been wondering, does this method wipe user data or not?
Just curious.

im not bothered about loosing my user data but the option isnt there for me, it says phones that need this are listed below and the phone does not show. Not even if i put it in recovery mode. Any assistance would be great i am however just going to download some 4.1.2's today to try and fix it. I did notice however that when in download mode at the bottom it said something about multi CSC should it say this? LOL i wish i was more technologically savvy but i am literally only good at apple software. Wish id just waited Someone said to do one with BTU on the end and it should correct the CSC code? any idea if this is right?
I should however imagine it would delete all user data, people on other posts have said it was lost

Ok if u want the 4.1.2 update and u want to be able to use OTA i advise u to do flash the latest 4.1.2 room from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646610 there is even a guide there how to flash it , if your device shows modified status after the flash just reboot into Android Recovery by holding Vol UP + Home + Power till you see Samsung Galaxy S3 displayed on screen , then u will see the recovery options, do a factory wipe and wipe cache then reboot and u should now be able to receive OTA updates .
I am also using the same room and all is working ok OTA shows no new updates but i think when the updates hits i will be able to get it via OTA , kies is not working but i think u dont need to worry about it because u can always flash via Odin .
Here is a guide how to flash a room with working Kies and OTA
First u need to root your device u can do this by following this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957273
Edit: When u finish rooting u should use this app its called triangle away http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494114 and use it to reset the counter .
When u are done with triangle away then download this on your phone it available on play store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.manniakk.cscselector&hl=en
Run it and change your CSC to BTU this will factory reset your phone after u done that u should flash the UK room from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646610
When u finish that u should boot into recovery and wipe data/factory reset , you should now be able to use Kies .
I am not sure this will work 100% but it should , if u could remember what was the CSC and room before you flashed the devices with odin you could flash that firmware.
Tell me if it worked.
