Factory firmware + setup & not registered on network - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi!
I have this common problem: not registered on network.
Wifi other stuff ok, simcard ok, phone is independent.
I cant start phonecalls after a while, or the connection is lost while a call.
Same issue before and after the fw update, current is: 4.1.2
Can u give me hints what to do?
I already did a factory reset either.
Maybe a factory firmware could help.
Thanks

i wouldnt like to download some mess. can u please give me a link?
change the modem u mean the hardware?

No,modem is software. There's several threads on this forum,search "gti9100 modems" (edit:stumbled across it while browsing http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1640812 ) It might be that you need to manually add your APN settings. If you go into settings-more-mobile networks-network operators is your networks name there and checked?

thanks for the help, i better read after. meanwhile happens that wifi connection is lost but i dont recognise it just have to turn the wifi off and on.
if i turn on flight mode than off the not registered **** is gone either.
what to do in this case?

If the WiFi connection keeps dropping, try using a static IP in the connection settings rather than DHCP. If that doesn't work, try flashing a different kernel (drivers could be messed up, and they're in the kernel, not the modem).
Re: trying different modems, start with the modems bundled with stock roms released by your carrier, then try modems bundled with stock roms released by other carriers in your country if those don't work. This should save you some time rather than just flashing modems from other carriers in other parts of the world (you only do that if trying the modems from your carrier/other carriers in your country don't work).

the static ip wouldnt work for me, cause i use different network classes at home and at my work.
im trully sorry but i dont know how to try different modem. could you please advise in a few words?
is there a topic how to try a different kernel either?
thanks a lot

If your phone is rooted, you can flash modems quickly/easily in CWRecovery. Do a search (XDA or Google) for 'I9100 modems' & you should get plenty of threads (I don't have any links handy, and if I gave you links I'd have to search to find them just as I've suggested, which you're capable of doing yourself.
If your phone isn't rooted, there are Odin flashable modems, but I very much recommend you root your phone if that's the case & use CWM flashable versions.
Can't offer any other suggestions re: the WiFi issue given you say you've tried factory resets/etc beyond trying some custom kernels (and maybe even other stock roms); using different WiFi networks is problematic for you given you won't be able to look at much on the WiFi modem/router side (like changing settings or updating firmware) given the networks concerned aren't your home network.
Re: exactly how to flash kernels/roms/modems, you really need to do some searching, this stuff has been covered so many times here over the past two years. There's some threads stickied at the top of Q&A and General which should have all the info you need, if not, an XDA search will pull up threads which will have the info you need.

well i wanted to un-brand the phone and i found an article with firmware and modem and another file (kernel i guess) together so i did the steps with odin and the error is gone.
however i had to upgrade 2-3 times cause the fw+modem came with an old 1.xy android what was slow as hell.
anyway thanks for the help
best regards.

[Q] Baseband understanding

My basic understanding is that the baseband is like the firmware that makes the radio in your phone work (calls, mobile internet, wifi etc) right? But that is where my knowledge ends.
Just recently the mobile internet on my streak stopped working. The indicator for mobile internet still shows in the notification bar but any attempts to reach a web site or other connection just times out and fails. Wifi still works perfectly. It's not an issue with the carrier as I have never had to set anything up it has just worked out of the box each time I have updated anything. In any case for info my network is 3uk.
Now I have dropped this phone a few times, admittedly this could be what has caused the damage. On the other hand something might have become corrupted.
So assuming something might have got corrupted I'm thinking it could be the baseband but as I don't know much about them I'm not sure.
I have used QDL tool many times and had various versions of streakdroid on my streak. I have just about mastered the recover/restore/install procedure however in my ignorance you might say I have not learned much about basebands. I always try to learn the things I need as I go along and till now have not had to worry.
Here's the dumb questions I need answers to:
Do basebands come with each build of android? I mean rom downloads either official or streakdroid. I got the impression they did but not sure. I normally use streakdroid since v1.5.1
If they don't come with the roms where can I download an up to date baseband to see if it will fix my problem?
So far I have used QDL tool using the guide on streakdroid. Following that I install streakmod then use that to install streakdroid 1.9.0
Should I try installing any other rom?
Any other suggestions or tips of how I could get my mobile internet working?
Thanks in advance for any help!!
Have you looked at your APN settings?
Select Settings>Wireless & Networks>Mobile networks>Access Point Names
(might not be the exact name of the menus) but i know its under Wireless & Networks. Might need to reset the APN to default or search and reselect it.
Hi Thanks for the reply.
Yes I have tried to do the search to reselect it but it just searches for a long time as if its hung. Reset to default didn't change anything. (3 three.co.uk stayed putt)
Also I have completely reset my phone to factory default and back to latest streakdroid a few times. In the past I've not had to touch APN it just works after installing whatever rom.
I think I've already tried the most obvious things.
Would flashing the latest baseband help? Assuming it doesn't already come with the latest streakdroid. If it does then its looking like I am screwed unless there is anything else I could look at??
HELP!
Have you tried your USIM in another phone. 3 may have blocked your Internet access as you are using a non-3 phone.
What does your about screen say for your baseband version and stuff?
Baseband version
GAUSB1A130500-EU
Regarding "non-3 phone" I hope thats not the case. I've never had an actual "3 phone" I always use unlocked phone's. Prior to this one an omnia and prior to that a k850i neither of which are 3 phones. I will try the sim in another phone see what happens now. Let you know.
IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED TO UPDATE TO THE BELOW BASEBAND FOR 1.5.1+
Baseband File Download:
Primary Download Site: http://downloads.streakdroid.com/djsteve/amss.mbn
Mirror 1: http://mirror2.streakdroid.com/amss.mbn
I guess u missed this part when flashing 1.9. The recommended baseband for 1.9 is 318.
Delltech you are right I did overlook that. However going back to your last point that 3 may have blocked my internet access. I think your right!! I just tried my sim in another phone and that can't connect to the internet.
Anything I can do if they have blocked my internet??
Call them and speak to tech support, they've got a bunch of cool techies who'll sort it out right away.
Will do.... Thanks!

Bell SGS2 3G Data Connectivity Issues

Ok so I've been reading around in a few threads about this but haven't quite found a solution in my case and I think I need a second opinion. I've also posted in other on going threads but it just gets lost in the rabble so.... it now gets it's own thread.
Bought a brand new Bell SGS2 from a dude on Kijiji. It was brand new, still in the box with the plastic all on it. I SIM unlocked it (which required rooting it) and dropped my Rogers SIM chip in.
I can send/receive txt's but 3G data drops frequently and usually happens once I initiate a data session. My test case uses SpeedTest. I've only seen it complete a full test cycle twice... most of the time, it will get the ping, start the download test and 10% in, the data connection drops and 3G/H+ icon disappears. It takes about 1-2 mins for the data connection to return. I've tried market access or web browsing and same thing happens once a data session initiates.
I've installed a slew of modem/ROM combinations via Odin from XXKH3 to XXKI4... nothing... same issue. Seemed worse with KI4 too!
I've tried different APN settings, disabling fast dormancy and specifically trying to enable only HSPA bands. Nothing. Same problem.
I've since reverted back to stock BELL firmware and tried a friends Bell SIM chip and noticed THE SAME thing happening! So this would definitely tell me it's a hardware problem. It's been more than 15 days so Bell won't even talk to me as the return period has passed and I'm not a bell user so screw them.
I guess at this point, I should test my luck with Samsung but it's been rooted and even though I've un-rooted the binary counter shows 2 which means.... I'm screwed for warranty right?
U can reset the binary counter after flashing back to it original state by using jig. Google for galaxy s2 jig
Btw, why dont u just flash original samsung I9100XXKI3 rom? Which provide good modem. Check my signature, 'boot loop', theres a link lead u to installation guide with download link provided. All is there.

I personally found XXKI3 Modem to be best for Bell's SGS2 (currently using it on Telus).
Tried all the modems' including KI3... didn't work.
In recovery mode, fix permission, reboot and check the 3g again.
Try another method, flash cm7 nightly latest version #16. If the problem still exist, thats mean its related to phone's hardware.

Well I got it new out of the box but I had to SIM unlock it which required rooting and etc....
I did power-volume up-home... got into recovery mode and... there is no option to fix permissions. Keep in mind this is the stock ROM I put back on.
CM7 is another idea.... not against that.
Well. Maybe some failure occured during rooting your phone before. Install rommanager app from the market, open then select flash recovery mode, then select your phone model.. This will give u recovery v4 which will give u more option on recovery mode. This is the easiest way to get more option cwm. U will have fix permission option when u done.

i have the same problem i.e data loses connection. after a fresh flash of stock rom and factory reset , it starts working fine for a week or so and then the shyt happens again . i can tell u , its not a hardware issue, it more like a software issue.
i m not good at android but wen i used to run squid on a linux machine as a proxy server , i recall i had to clear a log file to make data flow possible every few days. i think android has a similar issues some logs files build up or some **** like that.

Using Cyanogenmod and lost access to mobile data (3g)? Read here and reply.

Fixing mobile data (3g) after installing Cyanogenmod 7 (nightly)
Hello all. I'm writing this as a long-time lurker and custom ROM / kernel user, who has been helped along greatly by this forum.
I had a long-standing issue that I couldn't find any clarity on: my mobile data access didn't work after switching to custom Roms/Kernels from LG's original Froyo Rom.
After months of thinking it was just an odd bug, and something to live with (since I rarely use data), I decided to look a little deeper into the problem. I found it difficult to even find information on the problem - there's a lot of bad information, and a lot of hard-to-read information from friendly, but not perfectly fluent English speakers.
In short, I'm hoping that others who are struggling with this issue will find this post with some Googling, and won't have to be as confused as I was.
After doing the following, I have everything working perfectly and here's how I did it:
1) I knew that the right baseband (under About Phone, in Settings) had something to do with mobile connections, including 3g data authentication and transfer. I found that v10 (and older) basebands are considered the 'old' baseband, while v20 basebands are considered 'new' basebands.
2) Cyanogenmod often reports the baseband incorrectly, so finding out what baseband you're on is unreliable through the About Phone menu, if you're already on CM7.
3) There are some scary sounding techniques to update your baseband (one involves using a poorly documented program called 'LGMDP-v1.5.exe'). These techniques can apparently brick your phone, so I avoided them. I might be wrong on some of the details here, so let me know!
4) I instead obtained the latest baseband by simply letting the LG update software (in my case from LG.ca) update my phone to Android 2.3. I noticed that I now had baseband v20. My mobile data worked!
5) I then re-rooted the phone, using SuperOneClick.
6) Installed the latest CM7 nightly. Mobile data no longer worked
6.5) I should mention, I tried other ROM/Kernel combinations and ended up having crashes and hangs on boot - thankfully I could use 'adb reboot recovery' to get back to Clockwork Recovery, when even holding various keys on reboot to do this didn't work).
7) Installed the wonderful ta-gb 1.1 kernel (thanks to all of the devs who worked on this and others like it).
8) And lastly (and possibly most importantly) I came across this:
https://github.com/CyanogenMod/andr...gingerbread/prebuilt/common/etc/apns-conf.xml
It's a list of APN information, which corresponds to different carriers, and appears to be necessary for mobile data connections. My carrier (Koodo) was not listed here, and therefore appears to not be included in even the latest Cyanogenmod 7 (as of Feb 2012).
9) This led me to find this: http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/wiki/APNlist
Which happened to include the APN information for my carrier that I needed to put in, under Mobile Networks > Access Point Names.
Inputting that information made my 3g connection start up instantly. I was able to check that things looked good by typing *#*#4636#*#* in the dialer, and looking under Phone Information.
Maybe you're a veteran CM7 user, and think this is obvious newb stuff, but I want to leave this thread here for any other users who were stuck as long as I was.
If you fixed this issue with a different method, please share what you did here. If you're a ROM/Kernel dev with more insight on anything that I covered, please comment.
Cheers.
Are you doing this on v20 baseband?
I also have trouble with data on nightly's. I know DJ posted on the cyanogen forum today, saying Adam got a new Sim (128k, the ones causing problems) for testing. There should be a fix soon, fixing this problem.

You should be able to get all your apn information from your carrier provider even if cyanogenmod doesnt have it.
Apn is nothing to do with being a veteran cm user or that, you used to always have to enter that kind of stuff in the old phones when you used g and 3g, in my case my carrier would sms me the settigs automatically, such as it still does for my nokia e63

I have installed the nightlyfoure v3.8 and I am not getting 3g.I am getting edge connection. When I activate 3g it shows I have only gprs. I live in a place where 3g is available and I have v20g baseband.
Can you also tell us the procedure to edit/overwrite the original apns-config.xml if you did so? Thank you dude

I didn't edit 'apns-conf.xml', but I did find my carrier information in the link I posted in step 9) and typed it in manually into Access Point Names.
I suppose you could edit the apns-conf.xml file either in the source code, and compile CM7 yourself (time consuming). Or you could use the adb program that comes with the Android developer kit, and shell into the rooted phone (to see it, do: adb shell; cd /etc; ls). You could then probably edit it in place (might be risky), or pull the file, edit it, and then push it back with various adb commands that you can google
The code.google.com link I posted above might be the best way to request your APN details get added to the file in the next CM7 release.

Perfect, thanks but wait wait wait! You also faced the "not able to save APNs" problem? Also, I've just found out that my carrier (Vodafone IT) is listed among other carriers in APNlist you've linked... what's the deal?
(please be patient with me dude, I might seem really dumb but... I'm learning as I go )
My provider's APN is already added.
But sometimes, it fails to connect to DATA let it be 2G/3G.
Reboot solves it....

[Q] Cannot connect to network

I have what appear to be three identical SGS2 phones, which I have brought on holiday to Thailand. Two of them can connect here using local SIM cards, but one cannot. Upon investigation, it appears that that phone is unable to see all of the local networks. The other two can see 6 networks, the odd one can only see 2 of them.
All are running MIUIScotland 2.6.15 (previously known as Galnet) and all are using the same (default) modem.
Is it possible that either
a) The odd one is a different model? I have checked, they all report to be I9100 (not G or some other variant) and are all working with the same ROM which I downloaded just before leaving.
b) The odd one has some CSC or modem package which the MIUIScotland rom did not flash over, and that is causing the problem. If this is a possibility, what's the best way to completely reflash *everything*, to get to a known good starting point.
Any other theories or things I can try?
Thanks guys,
- Naz.

i also think that the CSc not installing properly is creating the issue.
u can try reflashing the rom once again and check
and a odd way out is to make a bkp of the rom from one of the phones thats wrk'ng fine and try installing that bkp on the phone with the issue and see
I have already reflashed the ROM, but that didn't work. Are there any CSC packages that can be installed as CWM zip files that are known to be good? If so, where could I find them. Google returned nothing but noise.

Modem issues after update to ShoStock2 4.1.1

Hi, I'm rather new around here so I hope I am following all of the rules. If not feel free to move / delete this.
I have been running Shoman's ShoStock2 ROM on my SGH-I777 for some time.
After the latest update to 4.1.1, my data connection does not work. On the about phone display, it shows mobile network status = online (I forget the exact word" and directly below that it says network state = disconnected. It does show a mac and ip address.
I thought "no problem, i'll just go back to my cwm backup from before I updated."
I tried all of the backups I have for the last month (making sure to wipe factory data and cache first) and no joy.
I then also tried installing the UCLE5 modem.zip file from the modems thread and that did not help either.
My latest attempt to resolve this, I wiped factory data/cache and re-installed 4.1.1
I now have under about Phone -> Status
Network: AT&T
Signal Strength -91 dBm 11 asu
Mobile network type HSDPA:9
Service State = In Service
Roaming = Not roaming
Mobile Network State = Connecting
IP address = seems to be a valid IP
Serial Number = 00000000000 (not sure if this is good or not?)
Any thoughts?

Networks state will show as disconnected if you're on wifi. Try shutting off your wifi and see what happens
I'm afraid i don't have a good answer, otter than to say that the lack of a serial number is not the issue. There is another thread that suggests that the lack of a serial number seems to be a prevalent problem for many people (including myself) after upgrading to ICS, on several ROMs, but none of these people are experiencing connectivity problems. So, the serial number issue is almost certainly not related to your lack of connectivity. Other than that I'm afraid I'm not nearly knowledgeable enough to even attempt to give a solution.
Separately, this question should have been posted in the Shostock2 threads, either the one in the development forum or the Shostock2 faq thread.

What does it do if you toggle airplane mode on/off?
If doing that doesn't give you some sort of connectivity I wouldn't rule out a hardware issue with your antenna. In that case I'd flash back to stock and contact att for warranty service.
Lmk if the toggling does something.
Service state will usually stay 'in service' because the phone is still connected to the network for calls and sms

Thanks for the suggestions. I flashed back to "bone stock" and then did the normal update through Kies. I now have 4G connectivity with no issues. Guess I'll flash root and Shostock 4.1.1 again and see what happens
Yes I am a glutton for punishment but I really love the ShoStock ROM and after 5 minutes, HATE AT&Ts version of 4.0.3
I can't post in the Shostock thread yet as I am too new, if any of this information is useful, maybe someone will put it over there.
Big Thanks to Shoman for the ROM
Glad you got it fixed.
You might wanna also consider flashing a different kernel. I know some are having wifi connectivity issues with the included skyfire kernel on 4.1.1.
Oh and make sure you don't wipe with the at&t stock kernel as it contains the emmc bug

I flashed to stock following the thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1313659
Then updated via Kies just to see if the 4G would work.
If it does the same thing, perhaps I'll give another kernel a try.
I'm still in the realm of noob to all of this so I'm just reading as much as I can on here.
Many thanks for the advice and info

Yeah if you updated to ics via kies then wiping could potentially hard brick your phone. Just flash a known good kernel and you should be safe.

Flashed Siyah kernel from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1592228
Then installed SHostock2 v4.1.1 and all seems to be working again (shrug)
Thanks again for everything

I'm also very much a noob and in my short time here I've seen lots of us noobs who just don't read or do any research whatsoever. Gives us a bad rep. I'm happy to see a fellow noob who did the research and set a great example for the rest of us to follow. :thumbup:
Glad to hear you got it solved!
