i was upgrading to XXKW5 where i was in the step of downloading insecure kernel but somehow odin says md5 value was incorrect, so i took out the battery and start my S2. then, unlocking sim card screen prompted and i enter my code and wait (normally it took less than 30 secs). this time it took more than a minute, so i switch off my phone properly and turn on.. now it is either in no network mode or flight mode.. and when i try to enable flight mode thru settings, it get stuck. wat should i do now?
If you have no imei in settings/about phone you have to restore the efs folder if you have backed up it before... If you have the imei, I think you should flash a wipe stock ROM through Odin...

i've read bout the efs folder just now but i didnt make any backup.. however, i have a backup data from titanium backup, it was long time ago and im not sure which version and whether does it contain system data file.
is there a way to identify the version?
is efs folder being backup together using "backup system data'' in titanium backup?
if in your sd card there is a folder called EFS_BACKUP, then you can use files contained there for restoring... but I don't know how because I've used efs pro! tool... Perhaps you can try to flash a different modem... For example, in my kk5 rom i've ki4 modem....

Try using another simcard or re insert it just to make sure. If another simcard works then maybe your old sim was locked out or something or is broken.

USB jig won't help you with your SIM card problem lol. It's used to get the phone into download or recovery mode when you otherwise can't ( softbrick ) and to reset the binary download counter. Try to flash Frankenstein's XWKK5 ROM and see if it's gonna work.
nope, it's not bout the sim card..
Hi. I just Odin'ed back to stock firmware after experiencing no 4G data, only Edge, after flashing the Tmobile recovery through Rom Manager while on CM9 nightly #2. I had wiped and reflashed CM9, with no luck. I thought Odin'ing would fix the problem but it did not. I also tried removing the SIM card for a couple of minutes. Anyone have any suggestions what i could try? Thanks
Update: So far flashing CWM recovery using Rom Manager has set the IMEI to 0, on mine and MacTheRipperr's phone.
Anyone else with similar issues after flashing recovery through Rom Mananger?

Are you sure it wasn't a Tmobile problem? Maybe you should try other kernels and/or roms... I'm using AOKP on my Galaxy S since february and on my Galaxy SIII since June 19th, I haven't experienced any problems with mobile data, the link is below.
I hope it works.

Check your imei under the phone status. Do you have a 0? If so the same thing happened to me.
Do you have a back up of your /efs from the root?

Thank you for your response. I'm 99% sure it's not a Tmobile problem. I didn't have any issues with mobile data at all. This happend soon after i rebooted after flashing the tmobile Rom Manager custom recovery. First thing it did was give no signal connection at all. Then i reflashed the CM9 rom, which then was only able to get Edge network. Even after Odin'ing do i still only get Edge. I haven't tried a custom kernel yet. With certain devices, I've known of issues with modem's are sometimes fixed by flashing a standalone modem rather than going through the whole Odin process. But that isn't an option that is available for the T999 varient.

Yes it reads 0 and no i do not have an /efs backup. The root process I used was the Sprint root zip file flashing CWM and root using Odin. I wasn't aware of a backup that was made. After Odin'ing back to stock, i did the same root method and have flashed Redrum Lean Stock Mod which im currently on. Where would i find the /efs if this method did make a backup of it?
Question for curiosity s sake did you flask the cwm touch recovery
You should backup your EFS folder before flashing any rom, if you'd lost your IMEI you will have problems with mobile data and/or phone service.
I've found two topics about it here, the first one has a link to recover Tmobile and the second is more general. I hope it works!

You guys are freaking me out about losing IMEI. Thankfully mine is fine after rooted and flashing several ROMs.
How do I backup my EFS folder?
/sigh re-read all the imei threads, there's like 10 of them. Backing up the efs folder will not help you at all. The nv data.bin file is not there anymore and nobody has found it yet. Your only option is odin back to stock, take your phone back to where you bought it, and say this POS broke and i can't get lte even though i paid for it. If you're still under warranty hopefully they will replace it.
Hello,
Just recently attempted to restore to a stock rom using the following download - I9300BVALF4_I9300TMUALF2_I9300BVLF2_HOME.tar
How ever on restoring it when my phone was booted up it seems now it's asking me for a SIM Unlock code, where as before my phone was fully unlocked. My phone is rooted and also the IMEI number is fully correct. attempted to clear EFS folder and still no luck.
Does anyone have any kind of idea. I'm kind of worried that I have screwed my S3 up.
Sorry if this is the wrong section.
I doubt this is a permanent problem, you may want to try to use Odin to go back to stock and start over.

hello.
so here is my problem.
a friend of mine who owns a S3 , recently comes across this problem
no SOUND during calls, both incoming and outgoing (front ear speaker , back speaker and headphones , none of them work!!!)
but VIBER works fine (has sound in front ear speaker).
I flashed some ROM such as stock MB5 , Omega V43 , Android Revolution HD 23.3 ...etc , none of them has good luck , i also tried few different radio ... but still ...
any idea ? i don't think it should be a hardware problem because VIBER works.
If it's not hardware issue, try getting phone back to the factory settings, flashing stock ROM, unrooting, etc... And then you'll see.
Good luck

Maybe it's because of locked phone? I flashed ROM, but didn't unlock it, could it be the reason?

If youve tried everything? Try using megawipe to wipe before flashing rom, also redownload the rom again via the pc & also ask the dev what the m5 sum is & check it against your re downloaded rom before reflashing again & see if that works?
Hope this works if so press that thanks button :thumbup:

Try this out:
(Optinal backup)
1. First go to sammobile.com and find a PROPER firmware for your s3. Downloaded file should be .zip but extract it as .tar.md5 file.
2. Put your phone in download mode - Hold Vol Down + Power + Home for 10 seconds then press Vol Up to continue.
3. Download Odin 1.85 and run it.
4. Make sure that only Auto Reboot and F.Reset Time are checked and click on PDA, select the .tar.md5 file that you just extracted... Click start
Once it's done, put ur phone into recovery and wipe data/cache and then reboot...

if i may, what exactly is megawipe ? wipe everything ? i don't won't format internal SDcard because over 8GB datas and causes lots time to copy and past ... beside i really don't think internal SDcard has anything to do with it ...
with all due respect, it sounds like everything i have tried , what different does it make with my procedure ?
phone is not on my hand right now , will try so tomorrow.
everytime i install new ROM , i did WIPE data/cache, format /system partition and even fix permissions ...
no good at all , really strange !
i have never come across with such problem.
i googled and searched around XDA , some says it is hardware problem , but consider viber does work so i don't think it's hardware.
this is driving me nuts now ...
however it is Nerwork LOCKED phone ... but as far as i know , it should has nothing to do with it , but maybe need to put it under concern ...
oh wait a sec ,, i didn't upgrade the bootloader , could it be related ? i don't think so ...
didn't upgrade because the red mark over up-right side screen you know ...
but the way , everytime i try to test dial , it always has something like network dropped or no service or something like that , i can't exactly translate it ...

What do you mean phone is locked? Locked to one network? Or been locked because its been reported stolen or because its been locked due to the bill not been paid? Cause there is a solution to unlocking the sim to any network look in this forum for the apk. But if its cause the phone is locked due to an unpaid bill or been reported lost of stolen.... there is no fix (unless you wanna move out of europe?)

Vibes uses wifi so maybe flashing a new modem will fix your problem.. I've had this happen to me a few times on different phones and different android's.. Usually a few reboots fixed it but you need to try flashing a few radios for your country first..

I do not know what really causes the problem, but the main thing is: take the last stock rom FULL country and carrier that was bought the phone. In my case the XXDLJ4 is a rom vodafone in Portugal. I don´t now is work in another country or carrier.
For in the midst of several layers between hardware and software are sections that cooks do not touch rom (settings network operator and country) and performing jailbreaks or wrong things can corrupt those sections.
It was so decided.
If you want you can test a stock rom than the original phone, in my case gave error when using a rom free carrier, the charge for the phone (via ODIN) stopped. More certain is the size in MB of the sections are different from carrier to carrier (or country to country??).
Try it.
Running into a little hick-up with my DNA. Never seen anything like this so I'm stumped. After flashing M7 Digital Dreams V1.1, I installed the sim card from my galaxy note 2 and the phone says it's an invalid sim card. I put the card back into the Note 2 and it works fine. I then tried the sim in another friends GS3 and it worked in that phone. Not sure what's up. I tried re-wiping the phone (full wipe) and re-installing the rom. No Luck. Also tried Zone DNA rom and I get the same message. Is there something I need to flash to recognize the sim card?
Any ideas or advice is greatly appreciated!!

I had one that did that, had it replaced. Nothing done to it would get the calling and data back. The replacement is about to get replaced, it starts ringing on it's own, even has it's own ringtone. Cute trick.

RUU is new to me. What exactly is that? I was thinking about trying to go back to stock but wasn't sure if it was necessary. Is there a thread that shows how to RUU back to stock? Sounds like I may have to go back to stock anyhow so I can return the phone......

I'm having a somewhat similar problem, but not to your extent. I've flashed the same ROM you mention above and when leaving a Wifi connection to 4G (like when I leave my house and get in the car), my sim card gives an error. I get it back to working properly by rebooting, but it's a pain.
This occurs for me on other Sense 5 ROMS too.
Well I just got off the phone with vzw customer service and they are sending out a new phone. According to the rep, the latest update that rolled out on 4/15 was supposed to address this sim card issue. Specifically the "PUK locked" message, which is what I was getting when I flashed back to the latest stock ROM.
