Hey I've been looking through all the other threads for the past few days and nothing has helped. My normal network is orange but a few days ago i believe it was after i flashed neat ROM i couldn't connect to my network i tried a few different sim cards in there but some worked and some didn't, now today i flashed Miui android and the sim cards that used to work don't now.. I've contacted orange and they are sending me a new sim card. I've tried flashing stock ics and gingerbread also stock orange firmware, IMEI is the same as under the battery.
Is it..
Blacklisted?
Hardware?
EFS?
Thanks in advance
Did you try this already?
Yeah, sorry should have said, this was the first thing i tried
Before contacting Orange, Did you try your sim in another phone or try reinstalling Original Orange firmware.
Going from one custom rom to another custom rom because of the problems you were getting, will more than likely create more problems.
From recovery, data/factory reset. advanced wipe delvik cache. Mounts and Storage format system and data.
Use Odin to reinstall latest firmware or the original firmware that came with your phone.
Then make a nandroid backup. Plus backup your EFS.
Once its all working.. Then and only then.. try a custom rom.
Thanks for helping, but that has not worked, i also got my new sim in the post just now and that has not worked either.. :/

Sorry to hear that. If you have already tried original firmware and your imei is correct then it looks like it may have to go in for service.
Dont forget to use triangle away if your still on ICS to remove any binary counts or use USB jig with old bootloader. Then flash your original firmware back to your phone before sending it in though.

Blacklisted surely Orange would have told you .
EFA unlikely if you have correct IMEI you can always restore your backed up EFS folder .
Hardware possible but as you have messed with roms my guess would be you have wrong CSC and not entered network settings manually .

Sounds like you already had an idea that the IMEI was blocked from your first post. Sugesting that you have a fair idea that it was stolen. If not, I hope you get your money back. If on the other hand you knew!!, I and I imagine all the other members of this site wil help you no further. And I hope you get what you deserve!!!

If it was stolen it wasn't my fault it was CEX's fault for selling it to me, i reckon someone sold it to CEX either to claim insurance or it was stolen and then sold to CEX then me. I would rather get the IMEI unblocked instead of a refund do you know if they have the power to do that?

No they will not have the power to do that," that would make it a criminal offence, if it already is'nt ". Take your receipt back to the shop along with the phone and demand your money back.

Okay, thank you, will do, if i get money i may just have to invest in the GS3 in a couple of days. thank you for your help
Symptoms:
- On making a call, starting from today (really yesterday), I get no audio going in or out. However both speakers are work fine, because the earpiece makes a beep sound to let me know call forwarding is active. The rear one works for everything.
- Headphones in call don't work either
- Sometimes I get sound for one call until I hang up, or it's very crackly and
useless.
- While ringing when dialing out (or rather, when you WOULD be hearing ringing if it was working), sometimes it'll cut the call and say "OUT OF SERVICE AREA", and then I'll get the circle with the line through it where signal is supposed to be. Signal is back seconds later.
- Data and texting work fine.
Things I've tried:
- I was on Omega ROM 13.1 with Siyah 1.5.3, although I've read online people have this issue bone stock, unrooted.
- Flashed stock insecure kernel
- Flashed several different modems
- ODIN'd back to the ROM that came with the phone (was originally a real-SIM-unlocked, Vodafone Germany i9300).
- Wiped everything possible
I'm willing to donate via Paypal to whoever has a definitive fix for this problem. It's really driving me insane that I don't have a working phone for calls. Worst case I'll call Samsung, but I expect they'll charge me an arm and a leg, if they even accept it considering it's from Germany originally (bought it off Amazon in June). This seems like a software issue, not a hardware issue consider both speakers still physically work fine. The issue is, what the hell is causing it if it came about completely randomly, and is happening across all ROMs, kernels, and modems that I flash?
Before you ask, no the Accessibility Setting for turning off all sounds is not on.
Thanks in advance for anyone that replies.
I use omega rom and I've had this a lot, I found that restoring the apn using titanium backup caused the problem, so I now use a apn backup app. Sometimes flashing the modem twice, clear cache, fix permissions helps. I always got call audio if I flashed back the base Rom. On ics, I could flash modems Willy nilly and 90% would work, not so on jelly bean. However, on omega v25 I can flash any modem and it works. Lh4 is about the best modem for me,
After flashing Rom (with full wipe), check call audio, make 1 change at a time so you know what removes sound. You may have to clear cache/fix permissions after certain changes.

It just happened totally randomly (as in it began totally randomly). Flashing the ROM again helped for one or two calls. Then back to square one. Tried everything possible including wiping and restoring the EFS. I'm not sure what kind of issue this is because the speaker itself works and so do data and texting, but not calls.

Well try downloading your region modem as I have experienced that problem when I was on xxxxDl12. try "15". If it doesn't help, then your region modem for your device should do the trick

I'm in the US so there's no regional modem. But I've tried every modem and none have solved the issue. And this issue came up after 4 months of no issues. I'm hoping there's no hardware issues.

Product F(RED), did you get a solution to this issue? i'm having the /exact/ same thing with my i9300 in the US. I'd also be willing to donate to whom ever documents a solution for this issue. I'll supply any information or do any action (short of bricking the phone) to fix it..
I had to ship it to the sellers on Amazon (who are in Germany, where the phone came from originally), and they shipped it to Samsung for repair, and then back to me. Samsung in any EU-member country (including the UK) will repair a Galaxy S3 from any other EU country, and my S3 has a 2 year warranty instead of 1. It was a hardware component failure (not sure which) which required a new motherboard.
Guess what. It's happening again. I don't know what to do. I don't have the time or money to keep shipping this thing abroad to get it fixed. -_-
Ok, is anybody still monitoring this situation? I have had this exact same problem which has plagued me now for about 2 months. The story is bizarre:
My phone was a blue i9300 which I bought factory unlocked at my local **** Smith retailer in July 2012. It worked just fine for months, then this audio problem surfaced, precisely as described here. I googled for solutions and tried various "fixes" which apparently worked for other people but had no effect for me. These escalated in invasiveness until I had flashed CWM and several ROMs with several versions of modem. None had any effect whatever. By this time, I decided it must be a hardware issue, so I spent the next week of my spare time trying to erase what I'd done so I could do a warranty claim. Finally I got TriangleAway to work and flashed it with I9300XXEMB1_I9300OXAEMB1_BTU stock UK system. To outward appearances, the phone looked original. Everything was fine, except for the original audio problem.
Meanwhile, I found a white S3 on ebay with a broken screen and I bought it for the motherboard, which I thought would fix the problem with the blue one and remove the need for warranty claim, as I still wasn't sure I'd covered my tracks well enough. The broken handset arrived and I carefully swapped the motherboard over, put the SIM in and made a call. I was horrified to find the exact same problem. Everything worked fine, except no audio on calls.
Now what was I going to do with this broken handset I just bought? It was worth nothing as it was, so I began looking on ebay for a new screen for it. Found one and ordered it. I had already decided that the fault must be on the screen half of the phone rather than the motherboard. While I was waiting for the screen to arrive, I took the original blue phone to **** Smith, explained the problem to them and asked them to send it to Samsung for me for warranty. This they happily did. I put my SIM in my Bauhn 3G tablet and have been using it as a phone (better than nothing) in the meanwhile.
The screen for the white one arrived yesterday and I sat down and carefully installed it. Put in the SIM and rang my landline. You guessed it, no audio. Exact same problem. WTF? This can't be happening. But it is. What do I do now? What are the chances of these two handsets having exactly the same fault? The white one has its original firmware XXBLH3. I haven't messed with it at all other than changing the screen. It can't be the SIM card as it works ok in the tablet. I am lost. HELP!
Edit: Just did an OTA upgrade, it is now 4.1.1 XXDLK1 Audio problem remains the same.

OK that's the most insane thing ever. I can't frigging believe it.
I've had this issue for a month and a bit and it's driving me insane. Worst of all it goes and comes back without any apparent reason. Today it started again. I've done all the exact things you did, changed modem firmware, installed cyanogenmod, everything in the phone works fine except I get no audio in calls and suddenly call drops and signal goes out of service for a few seconds.
After hearing about your case I don't know what to do. I have an insurance with the phone company that covers theft, I am thinking about it.....
well same thing happened to me , i was in a different country for one month and when i went back this started. i have no idea whats going on.
It's a hardware issue. You need to send it to Samsung for motherboard replacement.

Hello my tech gurus! I'm in need of some serious help!Monday I received a call from a buddy and I was about 5 mins into the conversation when suddenly the call dropped... I looked at the phone and saw one bar or signal reception then it then to the no reception symbol. I thought that ok network must be down... but 5 hours later it dint return so I started going through my settings and stumbled across the info page that says - imei: unknown, imei sv: unknown, baseband version unknown... I know from seeing these fields a few times before that they were always populated!
i have tried wipe data factory reset, i have tried changing roms (4 different roms from ginger bread to ics from sense 3.5 - 3.6 - 4.0) roms include Android_Revolution_HD-Amaze_4G_3.0.1, nightmare rom Rebirth 1.0, nightmare sense 1.1/1.6... same issue
Air plane mode once turned on it never turns off the radio takes up 80% of the battery regardless of it being in air plane mode or not.
my device is a T-mobile HTC Amaze 4g, 8 gig class 4 sd card, ext touch recovery currently running nightmare sense 1.6, it is s-off and unlocked
and assistance will be greatly appreciated!
It seems as though you may have a stolen phone. Even if you bought it on eBay or Craigalist as a legit sale they might have reported it as lost or stolen because they probably wanted an upgrade.. S3 maybe. Good luck.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the imei get blocked instead of deleted like in his situation? If so, his imei should still be displayed, since the imei is hardware bound.

Good news my fellow amaze owners! I have gotten my sim to be recognised once more and have managed to get all the blank fields repopulated once again! I was actually about to toss it and scrounge up some money for a new one but the gods of tech have shined their blessings down on me :3!
Sadly I have to say it was quite simple really... It makes me feel stupid having not tried it sooner... All it took was to do exactly this... Turn off phone ... Pull out battery... Put in sim... Take out sd card... Put in battery ... Power on phone ... It started back up with full reception a d hspa signal... Then I simply put back in sd card with the phone still on and it has been working ever since... *knocks on wood*
Please anyone with this issue that just pops out of nowhere please find this and let it help u

I hope it is still working .
My problem is a bit different, but figured I should post here as the thread already exists. My phone got run over by a car, so the screen smashed big time. This happened back in August, 2012.
Yesterday I got a new screen and put it in. Fingers crossed, waited for the battery to charge a bit. It worked, but only wifi. Camera is dead. Phone keep saying out of service area and IMEI/baseband are both set to unknown.
I haven't changed the back cover yet which was also pretty banged up so not sure if the antenna is making a contact or not.
Any ideas?
Hi my friends sorry my english is not good, but; i know this problem
the problem is the chipset with cold solder
you have heat the mainboard to 200° C with paste flux and hot air Gun
carefully the temperature can to burn the mainboard not more 1 minutes 30 seconds
to 200°C
and leave to cool
after to wash with gasoline or solvent
assemble the cell phone and test
working 100%
Hello, im new here but I have seen over the years that this is the place to come to fix cell phone issues and the such. My issue is this, I have just received an ATT HTC ONE, I bought it off Ebay. The phone itself phisically is in mint condition, but the problem is whenever I put a sim card in it, it just wont read it. Im overseas, I have already bought the unlock code for the phone but I get no chance to enter it because the phone wont detect a sim no matter what I do. I have tries puting several different sim cards and no go, I even had a spare ATT sim card and no go. I have just tried the "tape fix" but the phone wont recognize my sim. Is there anything else that I can try or do? I have flashed phone software in the past (droid dna) so if thats what would take to fix this I would do it. Im overseas and returning this to ebay for a refund would not be an option for me. Any help would be greatly apreciated.
I had the same issue and it solved after they replaced the sim tray, but I bought the phone from ATT so I was under warranty.
You might try to get it repaired there, but they might charge you. Or try buying a replacement sim tray off ebay or amazon (I don't know if they sell it or not)

Sim cards can go bad as well. I would go to an AT&T store and they will replace your sim card for free.
Thanks, I did try several sim cards that I had lying around and none of them worked. I have just gotten of the phone with HTC tech support and they are sending me a replacemente sim tray, hope that fixes the problem. Will have to wait 4 looooong weeks without a phone tough...
It happened to me last night. I restarted my phone and it worked normally. Haven't happened since.

You can buy a new simtray for $2.30
They sell lots of other parts for the HTC One as well.

You might want to flash the stock RUU, might have a bad radio flash or something odd.

Oh..ok.. well I dont think new sim tray would be the solution.
I have two HTC One. And I tried putting the sim tray of working HTC ONE into this one and nothing happened.. same issue.
I have couple queries though : Was ur phone's software modified in any way when u recieved it ? I mean was the phone unlocked, rooted etc ?
If yes, did u tried flashing a RUU on it and see if it solves the issue
So I finally found the solution to my problem.. apparently its something related to sim not aligning properly in the socket.
Tape-fix didnt worked for me too and nor did the RUU. Then I tried something different.. I had my iphone 5's nano sim and put it in a plastic nano-to-micro sim adapter and put that in.. it snug in very tight and hurray, the sim got detected. Got the unlock code and its working now !!!!
With this experiment I think I also found out whats ur issue might be too. We often cut the sim using the sim-cutters which are often not perfectly sized but works with most phones. I suggest either try using my method if u can or get a retail micro-sim from a service provider and try that.. it should work.

Agreed, but it does happen. The last batch of T-Mobile Nexus 4's my company purchased, 2 out of 16 had an issue where the SIM's weren't being read due to pin misalignment issues inside the slot. We were able to replace them.

Waiting for your reply mate.. Pl do asap.
Hi all,
This is my first post here on xda, so spare on me.. plz not really sure if this is the correct place to post this but i've searched this forums and i haven't found the help i need.
So, straight to point. i bought this phone and in the first two weeks all seemed to work fine.
Lately i've experienced lots of network signal loss. I've rooted the phone and used "Mobileuncle MTK Tools" to change the preferred network bands as according to this youtube video v=aQY7SdNrbmA (sorry, can't post direct links).
Well, after that nothing happened so i'm really upset with this china made smartphone.
Has anyone experienced this kind of problems using this phone/chip ?
Any advices before sending this to repair (other country) would be very appreciated..
Thanks in advance,

Are you sure that you've got the correct frequencies for your country?
Do not buy cheap Chinese mobile phone, the phone has a lot of quality issues.

iCrap Samsung HTC and other brand phones are mostly produced in China. If you have 300-400-500 $ to spare to pay the bill for the advertisement go on no one will stop you. And the fact that the phone is expensive doesn't mean that you wont find issues.
hugopataco man it is just that you have pulled the short straw.

Define service if you please. If you refer to she software updates i woud like to say that DOOGEE (as a brand i am using) have posted and released their certificates and firmware ( http://www.doogee.cc/en/gb/xiazai.asp ). Also the company has released into that new update fixing major problems like slow camera button and slightly unresponsive touch screen (i actualy have no problems with these). Ou and of course they have managed to establish connection with the buyer which is great because their next products will be what the users want.

Hi delta, can u please be more specific on how u managed to solve it?
Thx in advance
Sure, but you need some skills to do it.
Can make photo's for you. Will open device to show you.
But I am going on holiday tomorrow, be back on 13 June.. you can order a galaxy s4 coax antenna cable for replacement, maybe you can patch old one up, but for $4 you have a new one.
Let me know.

Hi,
Have you bought the phone in EU? If so, you have a two year warranty.. send it back.
If not, well i think you're screw'ed
Like D3lta said before, i think the problem lies on the antena cable. If you're experienced you can always replace it. If not, just get a hammer and smash it it's the destiny that craps deserves.
i've learnt my lesson.. no more cheap china brand phones!
cheers.
