The other night, I was in the middle of sending a text and my phone died. So I put it on the charger and went to bed. When I woke up and turned on my phone on the service bars were empty. When trying to dial a number it says, "No network available".
This does not go in an out like 99% of the ones I have googled it's just gone, period.
Upon googling I tried the fix to set network to automatic in settings, I get "Cannot connect to network right now, try again later."
I tried to flash a new radio, same results.
I flashed my 4.4.2 up to 4.4.3 with the 4.4.3 radio, same problem.
Before the antenna went out I was running basic stock, not rooted, not unlocked. It is now unlocked, from flashing a rom.
I cannot afford a new phone. This phone is all I have. I've had it almost a year now and it still looks like it is fresh out the box. I take VERY good care of my phone. Please someone help me...
Im sorry for being impatient but can someone PLEASE for the love of god help me?

Hey guys.
I have a Rogers X10(Canada) and I'm trying to go back to the latest stock firmware from Sony/Rogers because Cyanmogen has rendered my phone kaput with dropped calls, weird noises and a close friend of mine can't even call me anymore. Sometimes the calls will get through but then it's just this weird static and we can't hear each-other, other times it just says "Try again later. call cannot be completed". I considered it as maybe a SIM issue but even after purchasing a new one yesterday, still no dice. Along with horrible 3G and so forth.
So I did some research and tried to get it done, but SEUS keeps telling me that I have the latest version of the software and cannot repair/reinstall Sony's firmware. This is the only phone I have and I would very much appreciate some help in getting it back to stock in an hour and a half before I need to go to work :S It's Friday after all and I would like a phone tonight!
\
Thanks
Nevermind! I got it!
Alright, here I go.
Yes, I searched the forum, and I can't wrap my head around this at all, so I'm just going to throw my specs out and hope for the best.
- T-mobile Samsung Vibrant Galaxy S T-959
- NOT unlocked...although I'm not sure, the phone seems to try and pick up AT&T but it's labeled as a Tmobile phone
- Using a Tmobile SIM (brand new replacement, works on other phones just fine)
- Rooted and Flashed to Hellybean Stable 15.11.12
- Generic IMEI (004999010640000)
Whenever I rebooted the phone after root/flash a week and a half ago, it would give me the IMEI mismatch warning but everything worked fine. It was only this afternoon that I jumped on the bus, took out my phone, and suddenly could not connect to any mobile network at all. I've restarted and cried and sat in a corner and now I don't know. It connects to Wifi just fine and that's how I've been getting by, but it'd be nice to text/sms again...
I kept running into this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30644270&postcount=116
But it makes no sense to me. Copy it to what folder? Where is /efs? I only have one /efs folder and it's in /sdcard/backup.
Before I return to stock and try to flash all over again, I want to try and fix this.
The same thing happened to me today!
I don't know what is going on. I flashed another modem but the problem is not solved.
I'll try Odin back to stock but it is not seeing my phone. That's another problem anyway.
I'll let you know if I get it to work.
Ok, it works now, but I still don't know if it was the generic IMEI or something else.
I went back to stock and it automatically connected so I could make calls and use internet. This also restored my IMEI
Then I rooted and installed CM7 and then Slim Bean and now everything works as usual with my restored IMEI.

Ahh shucks. Don't want to hijack your thread, but now my Vibrant is having connection problems too :crying:
It all happened when I let a friend borrow my phone to use his SIM card. It was a simple mobile SIM card and a day later when I tried to make a call, I got a "not registered on network" when I tried to make a call.
I was running bionix-v fishman so I odined back to stock to make sure it wasnt a ROM issue, and still have the same problems.
I still have a IMEI working and I can still get bars, but cant make any calls whatsoever. Not even emergency calls.
So back to my very old Motorola Backflip. But I can't seem to wonder how this happened when my friend used his sim card. So I know the problem is not my SIM card because it works on my older phone.
I'm still using the very old full SIM-card that is at least 2-years old and not the newer ones. Because my friend's SIM was brand new, you think that may have to do its the problem?
Any help appreciated. Heres a similar thread to my problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=890353
Okay, this went from bad to worse to a nightmare.
My friend tried the Odin then back to Hellybean for me, and nothing changed at all.
So I went into recovery mode and tried to restore from an old system restore point.
After loading that my phone was permanently stuck on the Vibrant SAMSUNG screen.
I hunted around and found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=15330252
After a few tries I managed to get it into download mode and tried it, nothing changed.
Except now that I've moved on and tried to use Odin to just unroot it won't even go into recovery or download mode, it gets stuck on this screen:

or just the Vibrant start screen.

OK I'm going to use ur thread. I rooted my sgs1 seven hours after I got it. When it was a new phone. Have been running all kinds of roms. Somewhere along the line I lost my backup. But it was never really a problem. My imei is generic and couldn't make 911 calls but no worries there. I was running 4.2.2 something something using my phone. Then my battery was running low so I switched it with another and when it booted up no signal from that point on. I put my sim in my old g1 and it works. Put my wife's sim in my phone and a no go. Everything works wifi Bluetooth usb .....except won't connect to t mobile. I Odin back to stock and no luck. Imei still generic. Called tmobile no help at all. Funny thing is though it won't let me connect it shows I have a voicemail so its sending a signal and receiving one. I think if I had a way to put a new imei on it I would be OK. Another funny thing is my imei is the same number as the one posted above. So thinking it got picked up and blocked and that's why i m not getting service. I love this phone and would like to fix it if I can.does anyone have any ideas.

Was just casually using my Amaze today with the official CM10 I've always had on it, and all of a sudden in the middle of a call the call dropped and the phone restarted. I thought it was just a random reboot as they are nightly builds. After it restarted there all of a sudden was no signal. I was a bit confused as just a minute ago before I started the call I was getting full bars on 4G. I tried rebooting multiple times, changing SIM's (the phone is unlocked), even trying different ROMs. All of them had the same problem. No cellular signal. I tried the *#*#4636#*#* to set the network to WCDMA, however it was always stuck on "unknown". No matter what I changed it too it would always reset back to unknown. Then I finally thought I had to resort to an RUU.
After reflashing the Mobilicity RUU (stock one that came with the phone) on gingerbread, the signal FINALLY worked! I was so relieved and went to download the ICS OTA update so I can start flashing ROM's again. Then all of a sudden in the middle of the update the phone restarted, and when it booted back up again, no signal again. I then went to check for software updates again and just wanted to try downloading it over WiFi. I accidentally clicked the phone info screen instead of software updates and I noticed that the IMEI, IMEI SV, Phone Number and IMSI were all "Unknown". This was really odd. *#06* also brought up an empty IMEI box. Then I clicked software update and it said there were no updates available. What? It just worked a while ago before the signal broke again!
I then pulled the SIM out to run the phone WiFi only until I could figure this out and I noticed that it wouldn't say "No SIM" with no SIM card inserted like it normally would, but would continue to say "No Service" as if there was a SIM but there was just no reception in the area.
I've been trying all day to flash multiple RUU's and the only one that fixes the problem is reflashing factory Mobilicity GB RUU. Then signal works again, however after any restart signal will break again and won't work anymore until another RUU reflash. Is there anything I can do? This is the only phone I have to use and it's driving me nuts! Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Please acknowledge that I am not asking for a way to obtain or change my IMEI, as I know that is not allowed. I am asking for a way to fix the No Service issue I've been having.
HTC Amaze: Mobilicity 4G
ROM: Stock 2.3.4 at this point
Software number: 1.45.1800.2
Stock HBOOT, S-OFF, SuperCID
Now another thing has arises. I try to use it as an iPod/Media player now and just use it connected to WiFi. However the battery dies after about 5 hours of just standby, untouched. It's all because of "Cell Standby" using up battery. It uses up 4 and a half hours of battery and 100% of the time it's without signal. However, even if airplane mode is turned on to disable the cellular radio, it doesn't make any difference to Cell Standby.
Same boat buddy

I have had this issue twice ... first time it happened maybe 9 months ago and stayed like that for 3 weeks with me constantly flashing and wiping and s-offing no no avail ... one day I pulled out my sim and memory card and when I switched on the device it says "no simcard" it never said that b4 so I switched it off and put back in the sim card and memory card and poof it was suddenly working again...
The first time I recalled not installing anything for months before that event other than one app..... "What's App" I installed what's app and used it fine for 2 weeks and the phone just dropped in the middle of a call and never regained signal.... so I said since that was the only app that I had installed its probably the culprit, so I will never use it again since the phone started working again.
Sadly 7 months later a girl i was talking to kept insisting that I install whats app because she wants to chat more... Against my better judgement I went ahead and did it and it worked for 2 weeks and one morning .... poof "no service" no imei .... and the culprit .....? WHATS APP!!! sadly I have been in this state for a month now with no sign of it fixing itself again... thank you whatsapp... let me know if whatsapp was installed prior to your loss of imei

Actually my Amaze started working again as well! One day around two weeks back all of a sudden it decided to start working again, but I just left it there as I had already bought an Xperia ion to replace it. One day my friend asked if he could borrow it for a week or so, I let him and when I popped his sim in it worked, checked imei, apns, everything was good. However later that day during the lunch hour he took it out and told me there was no signal. First thing I did obviously was check the imei and of course, it had disappeared again. Nothing in window when typing #*06# and in settings imei would say "unknown"
I never used whatsapp before and he doesn't use whatsapp either, it's never been downloaded on the phone so it's not the problem for me. If I reflash GB RUU it will work again and imei will come back BUT only until you reboot, after reboot it will lose imei again. Honestly it seems to have a mind of it's own when it comes to working or not.
I'm Having the same issue right now anyone have any ideas?

Having the same problem too!
Tried removing the sd and sim, rebooting without, reinstalling them, rebooting with, and no luck.
I'm planning to flash the Debloated Stock rom to try that, then I'll try the latest RUU, will report back... (could be a few days)
Debloated stock did not work. Latest ICS RUU did not work. Original, very first, RUU didn't appear to work until I did a restart (without the Sim inserted).
So it's working for now, although it's Gingerbread...

Really? I've tried literally every RUU available for Amaze and still nothing. Before, after flashing a gingerbread RUU the IMEI would work during the first use but would break after restarting. Now when I do any RUU, IMEI won't work under any condition.
Ok so a little background on whats going on.My phone is a SCH-R530X.. (Note the X. Its the generic version) CDMA on MobileNation... I was in the Service Mode on my galaxy and layed it down on the table. My son picks it up and starts pushing things on it. When I got back I had no service what so ever. It wouldn't connect to a tower at all. After going through the service menu tring to figure out what he changed with no luck, I flashed using Kies. No luck with that. I did some research on it and tried a few things. Finely after failed attempts, I ran across the ##786# that is a return feature that basically dumped some things and restored it to factory. After doing that I finely got service back but no internet or 3g icon that is usually there.. I have tried restoring it, doing *228 activation with no luck. Something got messed up and will not let my internet... I'm good when it comes to doing things like codes settings and flashing so i know how to do that. I just dont know at this point what to do and im asking for help here in hopes to get it back to normal. I also forgot to mention that i took it to the phone company and the 2 people i talk to there didn't know nothing when it come to it. The first time i took it up there it was not working at all and he said he tried everything and that hes sure it was service bricked. Then after i did the ##786# thing i took it back to him to see if they could get the internet going. He was like, I wish i knew what you did to fix that part of the service cause i tried everything and bla bla...... The only thing they know how to do is activate them and dont know crap when it comes to troubleshooting.... Anyway please help.....
There use to be firmware here for it but i see its gone from this site. If i could try maybe reflashing as much as i could i would but i cant find the right firmware for the phone.
Check apns

Greetings everyone....
I've been battling with a problem quite some time now but to no avail, please you support will be appreciated. below is the breakdown of what happened:
I have a samsung galaxy phone A10e, model no: SM-S102DL, it was network locked to Tracfone. Gladly I found someone who unlocked it remotely. it worked perfectly for 2 weeks and some days, the network started misbehaving- fluctuating seriously, it got to the point that the network become totally bad- no service.
I met the person who unlocked it, he said everything was fine, he hinted maybe the phone need firmware.
Upgraded the firmware from android 9 to 10, still the same, I reflash the phone using the CSC without home to completely wipe the device, still the same.
right now, it appears the case is worse, because the device get hot and the battery drains faster, I noticed the airplane mode will be activating itself intermittently without stopping, *06# and *0011# take forever to load. additionally, when I removed the SIM, the no service still remains, it doesn't change to emergency, and insert SIM only pops up once in a while, intermittently with airplane mode doing its own sideways.
i tried to downgrade it, but no way, I even tried to activate "OEM unlock" but the option was and still not present in the developer option.
I'm stuck I don't know what to do.
please help!
