Hi,
In my ignorance I loaded on the i9100 rom from Samfirmware XXLSJ, and it loaded ok. However the modem doesn't work. The symptoms are: connects ok to 3g network, however will not txt/make phone calls, the phone reports "not registered on network"
So, I tried flashing the XXLSJ JB again, this time with another modem, one that is supposed to be for the T variant, I'm in New Zealand by the way and use Telecom. Same deal.
No problem i thought, ill simply go back to an earlier official Telecom version on ICS. However, this now hangs on boot up on the S logo.I went back to an earlier one, that one also hangs. I went back to Gingerbread, that hangs on start up also on the S logo too.
So some questions:
Can i run jellybean and use some new modem?
If not, can i put it back to original 4.0.3 official firmware without it hanging?
I'm using Odin 3.07 to do the flashing.
Thanks in advance, i'll just be happy with a working phone at this stage :silly:

So I was trying some new roms (CM11, temasek, etc) today and I got an error when flashing an old 4.1 samsung rom (I was on 4.3 official yesterday).
Now my SIM card is not recognized. It says "only emergency calls" and nothing else. I don't have cell signal at all.
I tried taking out the SIM and putting it inside again and factory reset in CM. I also tried flashing again the 4.3 samsung unlocked rom.
I'm downloading right now the 4.3 official rom from Vodafone (my carrier), in hopes that will fixed it with ODIN, but just to be sure I'll ask if anyone knows how to fix this issue.
Thanks!

If flashing the stock 4.3 rom with odin doesn't work then you'll need the backup you made of your efs folder.
Hi everyone. I'm having some serious (or at least I think so) problems with my I777. I live in Colombia, and I bought it over two years ago, had it shipped over by a friend, unlocked. Up until today I'd been using it normally, without any major problems.
However, the last couple of days it started behaving strangely, (turning itself off every once in a while, losing data, etc), so I decided to update my rom today.
I tried to install a new CyanogenMod 4.4 from this site, but I got some kind of status 7 error and it didn't behave properly after that.
Next thing I did to try to fix it was flash a stock JB 4.1.2 rom via Odin.
It worked, but that's when the major problem struck... Apparently my phone got locked for AT&T again or something. It's not recognizing my sim-card anymore. It shows the "no-sim" notification on the top bar, yet it also shows it has a signal (no data, just phone signal), even when my sim-card isn't inserted. When I go in the settings to try to access the mobile networks it says insert sim card even when it's in there.
I did a lot of searching and I used GalaxSimUnlock, which I got from this site too, and it confirms my phone is unlocked.
So basically... What the heck happened?? Is it possible that after three years of using it perfectly with my Colombian sim, the AT&T lock just "came back" or something after flashing a stock rom?
Any clue guys?
If you used galaxsimunlock the unlock is permanent.

After you flashed back to stock, did you try to root again and flash another custom ROM?
I could be wrong on this, but the AT&T stock firmware may not be giving you the choice to register the SIM or change the APN settings for you particular network. I can't confirm this though as I never flash to stock long enough to actually use it. I always root and go back to something else immediately afterwards.
The only suggestion I have is to go back to a custom ROM and try again.
If you are trying to go to KitKat, be sure you have the newest compatible recovery (CWM or TWRP) as the versions of those that work with JB will not allow you to flash a KitKat ROM. There are plenty of threads that will tell you what versions you need. If it's an SGH-i777 model then all you should need to get the proper recovery is to flash one of the two KK compatible kernels as the recovery is packaged with them.
Good luck!
I have a problem with a Samsung Galaxy S3 (GT-I9300) which belongs to a friend.
He wanted Lollipop on the device so I flashed an Unofficial CM12 from here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/development/wip-cyanogenmod-12-t2936990
However he seemed to be experiencing some bugs with the ROM so he wanted to revert to stock ROM until more stable builds arrived.
I flashed the stock ROM 4.3 obtained from SamMobile but on this the SIM wasn't working. Same results were obtained by official 4.0 and 4.1.
I finally decided on the official CM11, grabbed the latest stable build and tried flashing it. But now the ClockworkMod recovery returned 'Status 7'. Repeating the process with device id verification removed gave 'Status 6'.
To get the device in working condition I had flashed Korean Service ROM by Samsung. This is working with the SIM card with a few bugs.
One other curious observation was while copying the CM11 to the internal memory. The copy window was dismissed before the green copy bar reached the end. I had to flash it with an external SD Card which seemed to have normal copy process.
This entire process has been repeated on a different PC with all fresh downloaded ROMs but gave the same results as before with the only exception of SIM recognition but no signal on CM12.
Any help would be appreciated to get the device working normally.
Hi,
but "SIM wasn't working" means that your phone is like a phone without SIM?
I had the same problem in the past with my old i9100 and in that case the problem was the non correct baseband (radio) and RIL (Radio Interface Layer).
If this is your case, you can try to flash the correct modem (it depends from your model and firmware version) from recovery or using Odin. First backup EMS folder (IMEI folder)...
I had the SIM inserted. And the modem is okay because the official firmware was of my country.

I understood that the SIM is insered but the phone is without signal as you haven't... so probably the problem is modem or corrupt EMS folder...
Now you are running stock firmware or CM?
