Please, Please, HELP ME !!!
I looked all over this forum and on the net to try to find a solution to my problem, but I couldn't find anything that relates to this issue.
When I go into Mobile Networks/Network Operators, the phone starts to search for available networks. When the search is complete, I select the network I want and then I get the following message: "Unable to select Network/Select Automatically. Unable to connect.Try again later." The only way I can connect to my provider is to reboot the phone. Because of this, I am unable to use my phone in roaming either. It looks like my phone fails to connect to any mobile networks manually.
When I put the SIM in a different phone, the error is gone, so the problem should be with my phone. Could it be a modem or a ROM issue? Don't know.
The phone is rooted, with Android 2.3.5, Baseband: I9100XXKI4. Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-I9100XXKI4-CL611039 [email protected] #2.
Please help me. All help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

Already tried to change modem/
wipe the hell out of your phone/
reflash the Rom?
Almost always helps
Set network APN manually do not use search /auto and see what happens .
That can be followed by backup of data and factory reset .
You can also check you have correct CSC for network/location .
Next would be to flash another modem KI1 for choice through Odin or from the zipped modems post through CWM .

All Fails you can do the following this will bring the phone to an acceptable warranty return state if it does not cure the problem .
....................................
Clean Slate for those that balls up the firmware .
Backup data first if phone is working .
Boot CWM recovery
Mounts and Storage
Format cache data system sd card .
Remove battery
Boot to download mode
Open Odin
Install correct stock firmware .
Still problems use usb jig to set rom counter to zero .
Return to service centre .

Thank you jje,
My current CSC is this: I9100OXAKI4.
My location/network is this: Romania/Vodafone
Roaming in Hungary for example still does not work. Could the CSC be wrong?
Thank you

He should work with I9100XXKJ3
Thank you umarian,
I will try to find a new firmware with the right CSC and flash my phone again. Any quick links you might know would be much appreciated.
Then, I will check later today if roaming works and will get back here with the results.
Thank you again

I had the similar problem since last week: The sgs2 has been working with local operator Telia for about 4 months and suddenly it could not register on the network after I have set it to airplane mode several times
I put 3 other sims from the same operator in my sgs2, all of them do not work, and they all working fine in other phones
I put 2 sims from 2 other operators in my sgs2, they all working fine
So it seems this sgs2 only does not work within Telia's network, but I gave Telia support my IMEI number, they say that number is not locked or blocked in their network
I tried manually select network from the list, but get immediately back a notification saying "unable to select network", not like in a working phone, it takes several seconds before getting a confirmation from the network
So I guess some old denying answer from Telia is cached in the phone, and everytime phone send the register request, the cached denying answer is read. unless I can clearout this cache, there is no way to get registered with Telia
I went forward to wipe/factory reset/flash another rom&modem, all did not help. I guess these cache information is not changeble through normal flashing process, maybe in EFS area or somewhere else
Anyone can help?

I'm sure this is not your situation but my provider was down for the days but when I called support they swore everything was fine and trouble shooted my phone.for what ever reason their Sim showed every provider in my area as them.(as it in network search all providers looked like my provider). While the phone tried to connect to the other providers it was rejected as "unable to register on network"error. I did not figure out out until I checked network search with a different provider Sim and my network provider was no where to be found until they got the system back up in my area.

Thanks, I always flash stock roms and csc for the phone, and tried twice, I believe the data which caused the problem could not be touched by the flash process
Now I put another SIM from telenor in the sgs2 and try to manually select the Telia network, it took more than 30 seconds and returned a message saying "unable to select network, select automatically", and then it select home network (telenor) successfully
However, if I manually select other non-home network (3, tele2 etc... ), it took about 5 seconds to get that message
So, I think that 30 seconds waiting actually is a system timeout period, there is no communication to/from Telia network during this period
The strange thing is that even reflash the rom/kernel/modem do not improve the situation, where did the android system store the settings of network operators so that even a full flash of the phone can not clear it?
I'm going to do some adb logging today to see what is actually happening there...
Hi.
I have a big problem with my G2, and have tried many things.
It all started 2 weeks ago. I lost connection to my network.
I tried many things, and ended up giving it to a repair shop, in China, as I was there shortly. They put a new firmware into the phone, and a chinese SIM card worked.
I found an english version of the firmware, and asked them to update with that version, No problem. Everything worked well...but when I arrived back to Denmark, same problem. Not registered on the network.
Now I have tried many things, as Kies could not recognize the firmware version. I burned a 2.35 version into the phone with Odin, and Kies regocnized the version, and now updated to 4.03. Great, but ... I have the same problem. APN settings acc to my network provider. Oister 3 in Denmark.
I really have no idea what to do anymore. And I cant send it in for repair, as the flash counter says 10 times.
Is ther someone here, with a very deep knowledge in Logs etc, as I can send Logs if I am explained what to do.
The short time the phone worked, did I really love it.
And also the chinese SIM can not connect from Denmark.
I would prefer all Logs etc in private email, but if we solve it, I will poste solutions and results here.
Best of regrads

As for the counter, install and run triangleaway - it can be found in the SGSII section of XDA.
Check that the sim card works (try it on another phone) and borrow another sim card (on the same network). It is amazing how many problems like this are due to a damaged sim card or just not connecting correctly. I had a friend who took the sim card out to flash their Samsung Galaxy 3 and put in the sim card wrongly and couldn't make a call.
Can you copy your contacts to or create one in the sim card?
I doubt that it is a problem with the EFS folder, ie no IMEI number because it was fixed with a china sim, but it may be. Is the IMEI number you get from dialing *#06# 004999010640000 or different from the label under the battery? If so then you have a EFS folder problem. There is an app that may fix it - it requires root - * HERE *
Mobile network
Hi
Thanks for the reply.
A:
I can make, copy, edit etc contact directly at the simcard in the phone, and also copy, edit etc from Kies to the Sim card. And yes. It is the simcard I can do those things at. Double checked that it was somcard and not the phone memory
B:
Double checked the IMEI number again.
Label phone same as *#06#
Further information:
In the first day, I tried many many things to get the phone working.
I searched the internet a lot, and I found some kind of help. Like with IMEI check, I should type a code like *#xxxx# or *xxxx* Stupid as I was, I did not write down the code, and also did not safe the page on the internet, so I have no idea what code I wrote. I am sure it was something regarding Mobile network or CSC.
Reg Triangle away.
My phone is no longer rooted, as I try to have it in original mode, so its ready to send to repair, if needed. Triangleaway needs the phone to be routed, right ?
And will that not require an unsafe kernel ?
After resetting, then I suppose I need to install an original kernel again, and will that not make the counter go to 1 ?
Any other ideas ?
Regards
Morten
can you be little clear....
no network or no data (internet) on your current network
1: do you have a locked phone or unlocked. [carrier locked when new]
2: no network will be no signals at all, no phone call....
3: no data will be you cant browse, send receve emails
4: counter can be fixed easy as now your on ics
Hi,

1. my phone is unlocked(international).
2. signal show full, but no phone call
3. I don't use data, but wifi, and no problem with wifi.
Well, this : not registered on network only happen if phone idle for more than 3hrs, meaning phone just work normally if I don't let it idle for long time. This very frustrating as every morning after wake up I have to switch between airplane mode for phone working again.
Greatly appreciated for your help
Thanks in advance
P/s: currently on Slim rom(cm9). But have tried almost all custom rom found in xda, problem still exist. Even try to change CSC to my current country( Thailand) on stock DL7( included Thailand region), no luck. APN setting also change to default network provider.
Mobile network problem
Hi.
Please see my answers below
1: do you have a locked phone or unlocked. [carrier locked when new]
The phone worked before, and was not locked, but as I send a command to the phone, could I have locked it ? How can I check that ? And it does not give me any warning when I start the phone up.
When I try to make a call, it right away says: Dialling ...Call ended.
2: no network will be no signals at all, no phone call....
No mobile network. It is ONLY a problem with phone calls and reciving calls.
I have plenty of signal
3: no data will be you cant browse, send receve emails
Data is right now not working, WiFi works.
I cant get correct APN settings, as my provider sends this as system configuration to the phone, but cant recive it.
3A: My provided is named 3 Oister, and normally this provider is listed under Network operators. On this phone it is NOT listed. 3 Oister is using network of 3, and only network of 3 is listed.
If I pull down the menu from the topbar on the phone, it actually says 3 Oister, but 3 Oister is not listed under Network Operators.
On my other SG2, 3 Oister is listed in Topbar and under Network Operators.
I bought a new SG2 as well, and we are 2 persons using SG2 here.
4: counter can be fixed easy as now your on ics
How ? Can I do that without rooting and install different firmware ?
I do run ICS ver 4.03, updated by Kies.
In worst case, I will send the phone in for repair, but for sure, needs the counter reset.
Regards
Morten
Put a new firmware in the phone then probably wrong modem and CSC for your location .
Chinese sim unlikely to work 4000 miles away but that is easy to swap sim .
Rom counter for ICS use the search tool for the relevant post .

Hi
Please find answers below:
Put a new firmware in the phone then probably wrong modem and CSC for your location .
As my counter says 10, you can see, I have tried this several times, and its also written in my first post.
Please send the code for check of CSC and changing CSC. As I remember it is set to be NEE.
Chinese sim unlikely to work 4000 miles away but that is easy to swap sim .
Chinese SIM works all over the world, as long as Roaming is allowed. And it works in the other phone. Now I have the Denmark SIM in, and same problem. Yes, I did close down the phone, changed SIM and started the phone again. Exactly SAME problem.
Rom counter for ICS use the search tool for the relevant post .
Would be nice to have the info written here instead.

Then your answer is hardware fault if above are ruled out as not a problem.

1: forget all your idea's do exact as i say
2: remove your sdcard
3: using cwm format system, cache, data, sdcard [system is a must]
4: remove battery / insert back goto download mode
5: flash the ROM you downloded using odin, after restart dont do any restores
6: wait for few minutes now dial this *2767*3855# [important]
dont restore any backups including titanium stuff.

Mobile network problem
Hi again
Followed the guide very detailed
3: using cwm format system, cache, data, sdcard [system is a must]
Wiped all data in System and also Wiped Cache, using:
Root the Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-I9100 running XXLPQ firmware and install ClockworkMod Recovery: CF-Root-SGS2_XX_XEO_LPQ-v5.3-CWM5.tar
Done with Super User Granted.
4: remove battery / insert back goto download mode
Done
5: flash the ROM you downloded using odin, after restart dont do any restores
Flashed with Odin 1.85 in PDA: I9100XXLPQ_I9100HTDLP3_I9100NELP2_HOME.tar.md5
6: wait for few minutes now dial this *2767*3855# [important]
Done. Phone shows Factory Reset in big letters
dont restore any backups including titanium stuff.
Nothing restored.
Booted up, and automatic installed APK's
Same problem.
Only difference is that now the counter says 11 counts
But thanks for a detailed and well told possibility.
As I see it, the problem is connected to the standard the phone connects to the Mobile grid. As I told earlier, I made a stupid thing. I send a command with *#xxxx* in the phone, and I cant remember what code, and I did not save the page on the internet. I really think the problem is about a standard. That the phone is setup to a standard that the 3G net is not using in Denmark.
I can dump logs etc, if anyone can help. But I need to know how.
Regards
Morten
buddy your problem was.... network right? is it working now?
forget counter it will be fixed....later using triangle away with ics bootloader
---------- Post added at 12:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:01 AM ----------
if your phone now works fine with calls send and recieve, manually add the apn to get 3G.
Mobile network problem
Hi
Nope. Did not solve the problem.
Just ran Triangle away, and moved the Firmware: I9100XXLPQ_I9100HTDLP3_I9100NELP2_HOME.tar.md5 to the SD card.
Will try now to install it by CWM
And then I give up. Will try to send it for repair ..... really a shame, as I really would have liked to solve it here
Cheers
Morten
Mobile network problem
Hi Buddy
It finds a lot of Networks, but cant connect to any of them
3 networks with 3G and 4 with 2 G
But not the Mobile network I need to connect to> Oister 3
My other SG2 finds that network without any problem
Cheers
Morten
I had the same problem too. At first I tought it was a rom issue, but it wasn't actually. I turned my phone off and removed and placed back my sim card and it worked.
Mobile network problem
Finished programming original firmware using CMW as source for Odin, after counter was reset to 0, and the pnone status is the same as before, but counter is 0.
So will try to send it in for repair.
Thanks to u all.
And SIM card has been removed several times, even tried with a different.
No luck at all
Cheers, and thanks again

Did you ever get to the bottom of this?
I've been using my phone in Brazil and now i'm in the UK, it's doing exactly as you describe.

Compare the IMEI that displays when you type *#06# to the IMEI printed on the label under your battery. They should be the same.
For your own sake, do NOT post what the IMEI under the battery actually is, whether it's the same as what's displayed when you dial *#06# or not.
As for checking IMEI blocking by the carrier, that should be obvious. Call your carrier.
Hello.
Here is my problem.
In fact, my gsm Internet connection used to work fine but recently, in the last updates, i have data situations. My Internet connection is blocked even whith the HSDPA icon.
I tried to fix this problem by:
-Doing wipes (factory, cache) reset
-Installing different recent roms
-Installing different kernel
My problem is not from my ICS upgrade. It came largely after.
Do you have any ideas how to fix this problem?
All of them are welcome.
My actual rom is Litening 2.7 rom under the 3.0.15-9100XXLPS-CL294511 CWM kernel.
My baseband is 9100XXLPS
I'm under android 4.0.3 ICS
I'm rooted.
Thanks for your help.
Edit:
I kept a backup of an older rom. When i restore it, the Internet GSM Works again. But the problem stay with the most recent roms. I want to keep beeing updated.
I'm in france under the operator Orange.
Correct IMEI ???
jje
Yes. I compared between the state in "About the phone" and under the battery. It's the same code.
No ideas at all??
Sounds like incorrect APN settings to me.
Maybe. Because sometimes when i try to search Network Operators, the phone keep searching until i use the touch "go back". But i have no idea how to fix.
Detail: My phone number is displayed as unknown. Everything works: Call, sms, i have the icon E,3G,H. But when i use the Internet navigator, i have the Orange(Operator) website which tell me that my phone is not compatible with the Internet connection. Sometimes, i have another website which suggest me to pay for an Internet connection. But i already pay an Internet connection. (Vultures)
Edit: Never Mind. Problem solved.
So my phone has been having the freezing problem.
Sent back for repair twice, of course came back without any fix as intermittent :laugh:
Anyway, over the last few days the freezing seems to have resolved.
The problem is now, since the 2nd 'fix', the S3 can't make/receive any calls/texts!
Mobile internet works fine
Attempted ARIZA patch, patched but problem still remains
Try manual selection - states 'unable to connect - try later'
Status shows network as 'O2 UK' correct
Mobile network type: HSDPA
Service State: Out of Service
What is going on here? Anybody got any ideas? How can I check if it's the EFS? If it is, what can be done?
Many thanks for any help!

Hello.
I've got problem with APN internet connection on my S3. When I turn on packet transfer, it doesn't connect to internet at all, even "connection icon" (that with 2 arrows blinking) doesn't show up. I downloaded APN configuration file from T-Mobile, so those are fine for almost sure.
What to do now?
Some basic info (according to Guide/Info thread):
- What Rom/Kernel/Modem you are using?
AP: I9300XXELLA
CP: I9300NELK2
CSC: I9300H3GELL1
- Are you rooted/unrooted?
Not sure, I bought phone in GB, but live in Poland. Simlock was removed too. It's fresh android instalation after Hard Reset. Never tried to personal root.
- Have you flashed any mods/scripts/themes?
No.
- Have you changed DPI? If yes, to what?
I dont know what DPI is.
- Have you done anything to try to solve your issue prior to posting the same?
I've done hard reset, but it didn't change anything. Also downloaded APN configuration file from TMobile (which is my provider ofc) as stated ealier.
Thanks in advance.
Does the phone make calls and texts okay?
Did you flash the latest stock ROM for Poland via Odin on your PC?
Did you flash the right modem and RIL for Poland?

First question do you have Mobile Data turned on .
Second Question is your network supplying you with mobile data or have they turned it off .Third what does your network / the phone vendor say about the problem .

Yes i have Mobile Data turned on. Yes, my network supplies me with mobile data.
I didn't ask T-Mobile about it yet, since I think it's phone-side problem. Can't really ask the phone vendor, since the phone was a gift so I didnt buy it personally.

Maybe I missunderstood the "phone vendor" part, but if you meant the place where I bought the phone, then it's probably no chance to ask him. If you meant the my actual Polish "GSM(?) Provider" (T-mobile), I didn't ask them about anything yet, but Yes, i pay them for "internet plan".
Low chances to check other sim card (atleast for today and very near future). Any other tips?

Morning!
I was randomly tweaking with settings today morning and turned on and off "plane mode". After that, my phone immediately caught Internet connection! Technology magic.
So it's working now. Thanks for caring about my problem.
@offtopic (you don't have to reply at all)
I'm just curious, what could cause such thing?
Have a nice day.
It's a computer, turning things off then on again fixes 80% of all problems. You also might try clearing cache and dalvic in recovery, as sometimes cached copies of system files can corrupt.
If it starts to happen more often then reflash the rom.
