Long story, but was trying to find a setting and clicked on the band mode, which brought up an option to "set GSM/UMTS band". it has 4 options, not sure which one I clicked but now i have no phone/data service. I first tried restoring a backup in twrp, then I did a full wipe & install. still no luck.
On the lockscreen, where it would normally say verizon wireless, it shows "searching for service". I went through the mobile data settings, didnt see anything out of the norm, made sure data is turned on, all that. Is there an easy fix for this?
Thanks.
Running AOKP smooth 4.3
Edit odin'ed back to unrooted and all is good. Will reroot tonight.

My friend just gave me his old Galaxy S II. I did a factory reset. I put the SIM card in from my old "dumb phone".
I can't connect to my network in my house. Here's what happens:
>I check mark the Turn on Wifi button
>The phone starts scanning for local networs
>It stops scanning and automatically uncheck marks the "Turn on WiFi" box
Also, I'm pretty sure he rooted his phone because there's a superuser app, even after I did a factory reset. Is the phone ready to have custom ROMs installed?
Help is very much appreciated. I've been losing my cool the last few hours trying to find help that hasn't worked out from other sites.
yes you can install custom roms. For start I would recommend using Omega rom. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1489197
or any other rom of your choice
and follow Recovery >ROM Flashing guide http://xda-university.com/as-a-user/android-flashing-guide .
If you have any further question please ask in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1648351 cheers. :good:
I have a problem that I cannot seem to figure out.
I recently rooted my Samsung GS2 I7777: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=36191155#post36191155 Whether or not that is relevant, I am not sure.
When I click "Settings>More..." the screen goes black and after a minute I receive the following error:
"Unfortunately, Settings has stopped."
This only happens clicking "more..." The rest of Settings is fine. I believe this part of Settings has to do with USB, correct?
I Googled around and found no solutions. I figured something had been corrupted recently and the easiest solution would be a factory reset since I have not done much with the phone. I unrooted and I made backups and went ahead.
After the reset was complete, the problem persisted. I did not reinstall my backups or sync with my Google account. I tried a factory reset + cache wipe via Android System Recovery E3, but the result was the same. I have tried resetting four times now, but still Settings does not work despite the seemingly fresh state of the phone. I did not install any roms, if that matters.
How can this be? And how can I completely revert back to stock or get my Settings working again?
Edit: Seems to be the same problem here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1862040
ideas?
Edit: went ahead and installed a rom. all is good.
What the heck is this?
I flashed the 5.1.1 factory images for my WiFi Nexus 9 (yes the correct ones, in the proper order, I've done this many times before) and I keep getting this message when it boots:
"Unfortunately, Cellular Data has stopped."
with the option to tap "Report" or "ok".
It won't go away no matter what I do. I tried flashing system.img again, wiped cache, I'm out of ideas. This is NOT a cellular tablet. How do I get rid of this?
Never mind, I figured it out. It was frozen in Titanium Backup. Ugh!!! I still, though, am wondering why this is even needed for a WiFi tablet :/
I got my hands on a Galaxy Grand 2 sm-g7105. Performed a factory reset from device and the system worked nicely enough. A particular third party app I wanted to use wouldn't load so I kept tweaking.
I rooted and set up a CWM recovery with Odin, then considered going with Resurrection Remix. I made a backup with CWM, wiped the device and set it up. It looked great but 'audioFX.apk' or something along those lines kept crashing every 30 seconds or so. It didn't cause me any problem besides the annoying crash notification, so i figured I could just remove the apk and be done with it. To my dismay, then the notification then piled up non-stop and the system become unusable.
I went and restored the backup on CWM. Then I'd get error notifications for this and that stopping working (basically the apps present on the backup that weren't on the stock rom), so I figured the backup was useless. Another mistake, I guess.
Performed another wipe, deleted the backup for space. Tried removing every piece of bloatware I could find before unrooting (I wanted to do that). Finally everything seemed to roll... except I deleted some important apk, SecDownloadManager I've come to believe, and at that point the Play Store couldn't update a thing, it got stuck on 'Downloading'.
So I did another wipe, just to find out that didn't restore the missing apks. Got my hands on a stock rom for my model (a different build than my origibal one, but to hell with it... right?). I got that working work Odin, but to my surprise that didn't seem to completely restore the apk mess, and I got a ton of crash apl notifications and even after logging on Google the play store didn't let me in to try and see if apps could update.
Finally, I found what is supposed to be the device's original rom. Odin'd it all the way. Everything seems to be where it belongs, but I cannot really check 'cause... NOW THE ****ING WI-FI WON'T TURN ON. It's not like it doesn't connect to my network, it just won't activate. I press the switch, or goes back off.
I tried rebooting, taking out the battery for some seconds, performing a factory reset from within the system, wiping from CWM, dialing *#0011# to access service mode and deactivating power-saving mode. Nothing works.
HELP, please.
I'd be happy if the WiFi just worked, but knowing why the hell a stock rom should give any headache or what I'm doing wrong for it to go so wrong might be a step towards the solution.
PS: I'm writing this as I recall, so the details might not be completely spot-on, but the broader problems were those.
A friend gave me a sm-j510fn, having the "no service" error. Phone reads sim card w/ contacts etc. and sim has signal on other phones so it's phone related.
Tried various things like IMEI number check, airplane mode works but when turning it off, icon is stuck "midway", not completely grayed out. Also tried partition cache wipe from recovery mode. Manual mobile signal search gives error and nothing else.
I don't want to risk rooting it so as last thing I'm probably going to do a factory reset, should I try something else before that?
Update: I went ahead and rest the phone but the problem persists. Could the phone antenna be busted? Wifi works fine when connected
