so i bought a used vibrant off of a guy i know. And it worked perfectly. After a few days the phone just stopped working when i tried to do a factory update. Now the error i get when i try to make a call is "network not available" and where my bars would be it shows a circle with a line through it. I have tried booting on flashed roms and i have tried putting on stock 2.1, i have even tried to put the unlock code in, but nothing works at all!!! tmobile has no clue about anything and just keeps telling me to hard reset or send it in for repair but i have no insurance and i cannot be without a phone!!! please help me asap. i have also tried to go to select network and nothing comes up at all it used to say att and tmobile now nothing?? i am clueless here?!?!?!?! everything else works on the phone just no network as in wifi, market place etc. and i know its not my sim as i just got a new one and tried in my friends vibrant and it worked!
You might need to add the APN manually maybe?
Where you went to search network goto access point names and click on tmobile
The APN should be : epc.tmobile.com
MMSC should be : http:/ /mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
MMC should be : 310
MNC should be : 260
APN type should be : Internet+MMS
Just a suggestion but you could always just odin back to a factory fresh install. Sounds like the OTA update that you installed hosed something. Are you getting any SIM errors or anything else?
if u can (via wifi or something) download Rom Manager from the market and click on "fix permissions".... see if that helps.
all the settings in the apn are corect as per what the values you typed should be, i have rom manager and tried the quick fix with the permissions, nada, and this is the strangest problem as my sim card is reading as all my sim contacts are showing...so i know the sim card slot is not the issue, and when i tried to flash back to stock using odin 2x now, it still leaves out the calling feature, i was thinking maybe it has to do with the modem in the phone and somehow it got deleted for good unless i reinstall it???

This might be the fix you need. Download JFD tar and 512 pit files. It is a stock build that should completely clean and reinstall all the correct files needed. When you flash into Odin3 make sure repartition is UNTICKED or it will not work! I've had plenty of issues in the past and JFD has resolved every last one of them. J16 helps, but not with everything. Probably because it's just an update file.

What do you mean by it didn't work? The JFD file did not flash successfully or it did flash successfully, but you are still not getting a network signal? If no network signal then I advise you call T-Mobile and tell them you are having gps issues and they should replace the phone as long as it's still under warranty. It's worth a try. The worst they can say is sorry your warranty is expired.

the flash worked as in it was successful but no network still comes up. i called tmobile but since i bought the phone originally not from tmobile they said bring it back to the person you bought it from. tmobile even resent the signal to my phone and i was on the phone for over and our with them doing the same thing over and over, but to no avail. before i throw this phone on ebay for parts.... any other ideas???
ask the guy you bought it from.

did you check if airplane mode was on. i had it sometimes hide in the menus but never said in the notifications
So I checked airplane mode and nothing. It wasn't on that so still no fix. And the guy I got it from said he didn't do anything but I think he bsing. Is there anyone in the new york area that thinks they can fix this. Even if for a little fee it might be worth it?? Let me know asap I need a phone.
i guess no one found a fix for this as i still have the phone and the repair shop i got it back form seems like they didnt know what to do at all, even changed out the sim card slot to no avail.

Does turning flight mode on then off let it come back online? The issue is a werid one, but has been popping up around the forums. I wish I had a concrete answer for you. When you Odin back to stock JFD firmware, it replaces the modem entirely and should set you back to how it came from the factory. If thats not working, I would go get my money back.
Could you fix your problem with the phone? I'm having the same problem here. The weird thing is that my phone is unlocked and it works with an AT&T sim card, when I try my T-mobile card, I can't make calls. I tried everything, flash back to stock with Odin, manual settings, Airplane mode off and on, around 10 different Roms, and a bunch other suggestions but I still can't make it work. Any help will be greatly appreciated.....

Did you check these settings under Mobile Networks--AccessPoint Names? Do you see T-Mobile US as the selection? If you do, make sure the settings are as described here.
Flashing to stock would have fixed any issues that were software related... sounds like you have a hardware problem. You should odin back to stock.... wipe data/factory reset.... then flash again just to be sure. I've had funky issues that this has helped in the past

Try flashing Eugene's froyo that does not brick, here it is, it might fix the problem. HERE it is, try it, maybe it will work.
I have "mobile networks not available" problem also.
I flashed theese roms:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1061889
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1021383
Problems are same for theese two problem.
1- There is no mobile network data. When i want to make call, it says, "mobile network not available".
I did the apn fix (set to default, reset etc.) No working.
I opened *#*#4636#*#* and do somethings explaning under "fixing network problems" threads.
Theese all not working.
I'm looking for help. This problem is not about sim card or operator(t-mobile etc.). Because a lot of people have same problem from all world. Every thidsd people using different gsm operators. So, fixing method with sim cards not working. This problem is about rom. Because, when downgrade to Android 2.1 or 2.2, there no problem. Please help.
2- Second problem is powering off it self every 15 minutes. All theese two roms have this problem. Not every time after 15 minutes. Sometimes after 10 minutes, sometimes after 40 minute (after boot).
2.1 and 2.2 also don't have this problem.
Please help.
There is a lot people on world using CyanogenMod. And they are flashing this rom with same method with rom manager.
Why this rom have problem about mobile network and powering of.
Thanks.

Galaxy S II has no Network upon further inspection the phone doesn't display the Imei, bluetooth, wifi mac address.
Its not in flight mode, I restored to factory settings, tried couple of sims as well.
Is it a software issue or hardware issue??
Is likely flight mode. Press power button long and try the option flight mode or data connection.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
still the same its not in flight mode or any other settings tho. I have used a galaxy S for 8 months
Replace sim card in holder .
jje
did try all the possibilities.
NEW PROBLEM : Once put into flight mode,i cant get rid off flight mode and the phone doesn't charge anymore?? Please tell me its a software issue
UPDATE: The phone is charging after doing a factory restore, but now i found out when i go to mobile network, it says SIM CARD NOT INSERTED? Sim card tray issue? hardware??
DOUBT: is there a chance the phone to get network locked??
UPDATE: when I Enter *#7465625# and see the following:
Personalization Status
Network Lock
Network Subset Lock
SP Lock
CP Lock
Phone is from singapore, looks like it got locked automatically?

Yea, this is the exact thing thats happened to me (Indian version).
Fresh out of the box phone, worked fine for the last 3-4 days.
Now I'm out on a vacation, and the network selection on roaming was flaky, I was toggling the network selection manually/automatically a few times to get some network, and the next thing I know I no longer have a IMEI (shows unknown) , and the same for baseband ( shows unknown) .
Tried factory resetting , etc, not helping. Will get back home and have the phone repaired/replaced.

This airplane mode sounds dangerous. Unfortunately it may be a necessity when you are travelling etc. Hope there is a known fix or one comes out soon. Until then I will keep my /efs partition backup in 3-datacenter redundant storage place along with my laptop and ext.hdd.
i just recieved an sgs2 in uk and it has this exact problem out of the box.
grrr
if anyone wants to point me to a stock rom for it i'll try flashing it
erm, i dont think flashing will help here.
I reckon that missing IMEI means the /efs partition has been wiped out/corrupted, and that is something which cannot be restored by a simple flash.
finally, after almost 12 days, lots of running around, I finally got my S2 working again.
The service center had to send the phone to their head office since they hadnt received any service info on the new model till then.
They changed the PBA apparently , and finally reflashed it and gave it to me.
They claimed that the flashing was an online process and samsung india service servers were down for nearly 2-3 days, accounting for the additional delay.
Just like my I9000, but I dont think it is the same problem and same way to solve.
I rooted the devise and deleted the nv_date.bin and the nv_data.md5 in EFS file with Root Explorer, and renamed the .nv_data.bak into nv_data.bin, then restart, problem solved
I have exactly the same problem as you guys are talking about. Really weird. The /efs directory, where is it located? Is it located in the main "Root" or is it in a specific folder? I would like to try the thing with the rename trick?

Hi,
I bought a Lenovo A390 in January, a few weeks ago the phone started to lose signal on both sim cards, continued that way for a few minutes and returned to normal. After a few hours he lost the signal on both sim cards and didn't returned to normal, even after several hours. When I restarted the phone, it showed no sim card and the sound started to fail a little. Somehow, the cell returned to normal after several reboots.
I tried the factory reset, flashing a new rom, I even open the phone to see if any cable was loose, but the problem continues. I don't know what else to do, searching the internet I saw that several people had similar problems, but the solutions didn't work for me.
I took some screenshots to show the device when it loses signal and after rebooting.
Lenovo A390
Android 4.0.4
Baseband Version A510_MP_PCB_V1.0
Build Number A390_S320_130402
Please! Someone help me! :crying:
Same Problem
I am also facing a similar problem and in addition to that if I reboot with SIMs removed still it shows the old SIMs which were there before the problem happened.
Sometimes this workaround works and if the SIMs are not detected when removed, Next reboot with the SIMs and you can get the network (not all the time). ..
no imei no baseband

i have similar problem,, lenovo a390... no baseband affected invalid imei,, n cant write properly...
Hi mates,
Bought an second-hand D802 without checking the lock status. It worked when I tested it, but after a couple of hours it gave out the "SIM card removed - The mobile network will be unavailable until you restart with a valid SIM card inserted". The phone automatically rebooted after 5 seconds and when it restarted it just said Invalid SIM.
It kept doing this many times a day. I needed to restart it 3-5 times to get it back with a signal.
Took it to a friend that has an Octopus Box, he struggled to Repair the security, even got the IMEI 0 but managed to restore it. Unfortunately with no success because the phone is in the same state. He software unlocked it again but with the same "Invalid SIM - Please insert a valid sim and restart".
I read throughout the forum that an EFS restore from another working factory unlocked D802 might get rid of the Hard Lock status, but no one confirmed a success for any G2 model.
Does anybody have the slightest idea of what can be done ?
Thanks!
Ok so I downgraded to 4.2.2 and now testing to see if the "SIM card removed - The mobile network will be unavailable until you restart with a valid SIM card inserted" error disappeared. It displayed the first time I started the phone but let's hope it won't reappear. If in 2-3 days it will be all ok I will put out a guide for everyone that has this error with the G2.
Having the same issue. My phone is the d801. I had a backup efs but restoring it hasn't helped at all. Flashed stock kitkat rom and it worked for a few hours without the problem but now it's back up again.

I too flashed to 4.2.2 and it worked for a few hours but then started acting up again. Luckily after scouring for hours discovered it could be my sim card. Went and replaced it and now back up and running
but for anyone else there is a better how on returning to 4.2.2 than the one here on xda. Google pastebin Restore Stock G2 Firmware and there's a step by step with photos.
Hello everyone! I hope somebody can help me with my problem on my SOLA. As stated on the title on top I lost my Sim network Signal. The icon on top of the screen has been grayed out. It started when my SOLA was running a custom ROM SlimKat by alwaysadeel. I am not blaming the veloper but it goes like this, while the sola was on SlimKat I had this Advanced task killer pro installed on the phone. In the app, there is this FIX button at the buttom of the screen so hit it and then I started losing the Sim signal. I tired to hit that FIX button but nothing happened. Then I switch back to Stock ICS but the problem with sim signal is still there. Then I am seeing this "SIM not provisioned MM # 2 error" SIM that I tried to used during this issue are working/operational on other phones so I am definite that it is the device itself ha the problem and not the simcards. I even relocked my bootloader and tried fixing wigth PCC but I am so clueless how to fix it with PCC. If anybody has solution to this problem please I need your help. Thanks a lot.
Well, this is strange, you should be able to see signal after switching to stock ROM.
Assuming its a s/w fault.
anyways, first, the error means either sim card is corrupted or it hasn't been activated yet. Both are not possible in your case as we n=know they are working on other sets.
I suppose you are seeing this error AFTER switching to stock ICS, right ?
now, possible troubleshooting :
first, try CM, or again install SlimKat. After this you can try different kernels too.
second, check your ics release, it should be of your region, MT27a or MT27i, version should be right.
after downloading correct version, flash using flashtool, wipe everything.
hope it helps, as the problem is unique, i cannot think of any other possible solution.

I have a similar problem in a Xperia U, I've flash a CM9 rom like a month ago, and was working incredible, smooth, fast, everything ok, till this monday when lost signal, works ok with wifi, and also with data (at least in whatsapp, no fb, or youtube) but I can´t send sms or make a call, I've tried to flash stock (ICS) but the problem is there, even flashing just the baseband and the complete firmware with flashtool, I'll tried with GB now, but don´t know what else to do, when power on, recognize the carrier (for one or two seconds) then loose it, and when you search for networks, it say (Error al buscar redes) that an error ocurred, if you find a solution please share it, or if anyone have any suggestions, they are welcome... Thanks!!
PS. Can you believe it!?!?!?! MY own company have mi IMEI denied, I use a provisory sim card, FROM the carrier for a few days, while they changed my real number and gime my new sim card, to be able to change of company (carrier), then, a couple of months later, they discharged that "disposal" line and my IMEI went down with it, now I have to go to the office and solve the problem that they create me. Sorry, I know is offtopic, but I want to share in case someone else have this issue.
