On my Samsung Galaxy S3 (d2mtr) it keeps giving me a "Mobile network not available" error whenever I try and make a call. I can go on the web and social networking apps; download apps. The only thing I can not do is make calls. I looked under settings and saw that "Network Operators" is not available to enter. Any ideas on how to fix this??
EDIT: My IMEI number does in fact show up. Idk what is wrong with this.
EDIT: NEW PROBLEM. I was reading a tutorial about flashing back to stock firmware and it said to downgrade my bootloader. I used the recovery flash method and now I have a black screen. Can't do anything. Turn off, turn on. Just stays black with no response. Someone help fast Please

No sir I can not just stays on a black screen.
Plug it in your wall charger and leave it for 15-20 minutes to charge. Then retry. Maybe your battery is discharged. I've read similar posts. Good luck!
If you've flashed the wrong bootloader or it went wrong then you have a hard brick. Try a usb jig, but probable you'll need a new motherboard.

hi all. I have a huge problem. I tried to fix the lag by using the file posted here and it didn't solve the problem so i tried to delete the lag fix from "remove" option on MCR program then it went to black! Ok, here is the important part. When I rooted the phone, I used sdk option to root the phone as my buttons were not worked for recovery mode (newer version i guess...) and now , as i can't use the sdk option to make it recovery mode, i can't fix the brick problem!! Can someone pls get into this? I purchased this phone from ebay and set up the phone for last 3 days....if i don't sove this, I'll be in trouble..Thanks all!
Get in to download mode flash stock odin and you be good to go

Have you tried this? This works for me..
For recovery mode this works for me,
Remove battery
Install battery
Press and hold vol+/vol-
Press and hold power button
Once you see the Vibrant Screen do not release any of the buttons (vol+/vol- and power buttons) it will go black then back to Vibrant screen, then you release the power button only but keep pressing the vol-/vol+ buttons... this should get you into recovery mode..
For Download mode this helps me,
Remove Battery
Plug in USB cable to phone and computer
Put Battery In.. wait a couple of seconde until it shows the battery being charge..
Press and hold the vol+/vol- and the power button..
This will power up you phone.. once you see the Vibrant screen and it turn black, release the power button only.. this should get you into DL mode (it works for me). good luck.
Well If you have the hardware locked vibrant you are out of luck. There is nothing you can do

I sent my I/O tablet to Samsung for repairing a hardware defect (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1272086). I got it back today and now it's stuck in some factory mode. There is a lock displaying at the bottom of the screen during boot-up. I have an app called factory mode that seems to launch some sort of calculator. I am unable to lock the screen at all now. No matter what lock screen setting I try the screen never locks. Pushing the power button powers down the device in an instant. No more popup asking if I want to power down. I've tried a factory reset, but during the reset it's complaining about not having access to some directory. After the factory reset runs its course I'm back to square one. I'm not asked to setup wifi, create an account or anything. I'll obviously call Samsung support tomorrow to find out how the hell I get out of this factory mode. But in the meantime has anybody seen this type of behavior after getting their tablet back from Samsung support?
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
Samsung wants me to send the tab back to them cause they don't give out the engineering codes to get it out of factory mode. Honestly I find this rather ridiculous. I use this thing for development for christ sake. I really don't want to sent it back to them again being without a tab for another few weeks. If anyone knows the magic code to get the tab out of factory mode please pm me.
Thanks.
I need that Code aswell
Yeah I need that code to get out of factory mode aswell as I have the same issue.
Thanks
Which is amazing because they keep sending unusable tablets back to people after repairs. For me they set a password and I had to use ODIN to flash the original 3.0 I/O rom on it. Wouldn't even let me wipe portions in recovery.

man it is annoying i got the same problem. Anyone got the solution?
This is the exact issue I have, so this can't be cured by flashing old firmwares eh? Any solutions?
Btw, I have the 10.1 P7510 retail, not the Google I/O edition.

Got my Tab Fixed by Samsung Service Centre, In my case it was caused by missing IMEI and Serial Number.
I have the same problem, factory mode, and i already know that it is because of missing IMEI and efs folder on my tab. I have imei number on my box, isn't it possible to recover it using my imei number by myself?
the way i understand this is only samsung can take out the factory mode. so it happens on 3G tab as well, how did you get the "factory mode" in the first place?

Hi,
I can see that there are similar threads out here. But I can`t find ONE with a good answer about what can be wrong, and specialy how to solve the problem.
Like the other ones who have this problem I have a brand new Galaxy S3 who was not rooted. Stock ROM (Now I tried too root it, but still have the same problem.)
So, the problem is that when I press the power button to make the phone go to standby mode, it won`t turn back on from standby to normal mode again when I press HOME button or power button. What I have to do is hold in the power button until it has been restarted.
It looks like the phone uses alot of battery also.
The same problem can accure when I am talking in the phone. When I am about to hang up, the screen is completely black and I cant press anything, only the powerbutton to make a "hardreset".
Every problem can be solved, but many of them take a little bit more time to find a solution for.
So, can anyone please help me with this problem? It is driving me nuts!
(I have tried to switch of the wifi btw )
As previous thread, change the kernel. Rooting only not solve this problem..

I have now tried to put in a new kernel.
The Kernel is :
3.0.15-franco.Kernel
[email protected] #11
Build Nr.
Omega v9.0 - XXBLG1
I still have the same problem, when I have allot of battery ( 90-100 % ) there is no problem. But as soon as the battery reach 50 % or below, the phone wont wake up from standby mode.
What can I do? I hope that someone have a good answer and a solution for me and for everybody else who may have this problem.
Maybe to high clockspeed or undervolted to much? Could be a freeze. Or maybe a crashed system app.

Okey,
Since I am quite new at this with rooting and stuff, how can I fix my problem?
I am open for a total wipe of my phone if that can help.
But if it is so easy to set down the clockspeed or fix the undervolt I hope someone have a problem fix
If it is a system app the total wipe would fix it?

Modem (baseband version) is I9300XLF3..
After I flash franco kernel the phone restarted it self and i tought that everything was done. I have not done anything else with the phone after that regarding flash..
Is there anything I can try to do in the franco kernel update app?
I am a bit noob, so I am not following what you mean by scripts in init.d I tried to find it on the phone, but I am probably thinking wrong hehe
my comment is missing.
Better you ask in your kernel thread since you flash custom kernel.

I have 2 phones here.. One is mine and one is my friends phone. We have exactly the same kernel and the same rom.
Also the same modem.
Do you think to change the modem would help? I think it`s quite strange if we have exactly the same.
Maybe it would help to put in the ROM to wipe the phone? So the stock ROM would be gone.
I am going to find out this problem one way or another
Try to do a factory reset...it workd fr me
Do you have weather on lock screen enable? I disable my friend's phone, no more freeze.

I have now taken a factory reset. + that I have put in the OMEGA Rom again and the Franco kernel. All this after I have tested the phone to see if it was working.
But it seems like I have the same problem. But not that often. Maybe when I get batterylevel under 30 %.

I still have the same problem. I can not predict when the phone is going into freeze. Hope someone can find out what can causing the problem.
I have tried to observe how the phone is acting the couple of days.
It uses alot of battery. I take out the charger at 0800 at the morning.. When the clock is 1700 i have 20% battery.. This is after several restarts during the day..
It seems like if I put the phone in my pocket it freezes. Could be a coincidence.
The phone won't take charging when it has gone into "freezemode"..
This might help

I had a similar issue with the phone and what i do to make it go away is , after every restart , or battery pull , u let it sit for a second to load up everything then u open up u'r dallier and dial *#0011# this will take u to the service menu , once there u press the"menu" button on the phone and chose "WiFi" .. u should have a button there that says "On" with a blue line underneath , click on it then exit the menu and enjoy
as i understand this has something to do with the " power saving mode" for wifi , the problem for me started after i uploaded a huge amount of data to dropbox ... (40~ GB of photos and Videos) so i might of ****ed up the wifi chip or something
I found this to work after reading a few threads on the forum , it's not a permanent fix but it dose the job for me :laugh:
I wold like to thank whomever came up with this , but i can't remember who it was

Sounds like a hardware problem if flashing stock and factory resetting doesn't solve it.
My power button had a problem that causes the phone to reboot infinitelly sometimes, it gets stuck inside even if I can still press it.
Well, pressing it a couple times normally works for me. But to be sure I stopped using it, double tap status bar to screen off and home button to screen on.
It's really bad when it stucks...
No its not a sort of that problem coz I already checked that, but now I think I am able to get this problem solved but now no sim card is working its keeps displaying Emergency calls only..

Go to about phone, status and check they match what is on the box or under the battery on the sticker.
Yes just checked its same. Now the set is again restarting but the time increased even if I switched off the phone it will turned on itself, is it like a hardware problem? I tried different versions of firmwares. Also few days back mother boards EMMC chip get repaired , is this belongs to that issue?
It can be a hardware problem
One more thing I noticed. I switched off the phone after few time it automatically switched on
Your power button is faulty.
hi, i have the same pb? i checked the power button is ok, i try a lot of rom (official & custom) no solution?
Nand memory is damaged, go read the the emmc freezing thread.
Is this hardware issue?
