[Q] Both SIM's do not connect anymore - Lenovo P780

So... I have been using my P780 with the S136_ROW ROM for almost a year now without much hassle. Then I decided it would be nice to upgrade to KK, which did not go well (see posts here if interested). I went back to my original S136, but then my SIM's started to have massive connection problems. One SIM sometimes connects, the other, a twin bill SIM (2 numbers / accounts on one SIM, 2 five-digit PIN's), does not connect anymore at all (PIN's get checked, but SIM's do not connect to networks).
Both SIM's did fine before on this phone, and they still work fine on other phones. Other SIM's (non-twin bill) have the same issues on my P780 as my own SIM's. I tried to install a few other ROMS with varying, but always unsatisfying, outcome.
I'd be grateful for any ideas - thanks

[Q] No phone/sms, data ok and IMEI ok

Hello,
After searching about 10 pages & search engine i haven't find exactly same problem as mine but i think i'm not the only one who had this problem...
I saw that all guys having same problem as me have an IMEI problem with a file on /efs, which is not my case for the IMEI
Problem : no phone, no sms, all data is OK. is someone calls me it rings busy.
Here's what i tried
- My SIM on another S2 = everything OK, the other S2 sim on my phone gives same problem.
- Many ROMs official or non official (also a release using pit+pda+phone+csc), without solving my problem
- Using the appli GSII_Repair but i can' t download (message appears 2mins after click on install, from PC or from market)
- Phone is operator free and with no signal problem.
- At the moment i just put an official rom (nothing more) with baseband i9100xxki3, kernel 2.6.35.[email protected] #2, Version number gingerbread.xxki3. Network State=Connected, IMEI= same as behind battery, IMEISV=01
I bought the phone to someone living 150km from me and when i wanted to test it...i locked my SIM (and no puk code with me) so i bought it for not having done the 300km for nothing...and i can't use it since a week i'm trying & reading things everywhere on the net but i think here is the best place, great members, great place, and great roms i used on my HD2 before the USB connector broke. The guy to wich i bought the phone kept it a month and have no idea to what has been done the phone
So help needed....Thanks

Have you already tried to do a factory reset?
Shut down the phone, reboot into recovery mode (Volume UP + Home + Power, hold the keys until the recovery menu appears), choose factory reset and then reboot the phone.
If that does not help, you could try to flash a newer stock ROM, such as XWKJ3.
Have a look at Intratech's Official Firmware thread here => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
If that does not help either, it could be a hardware issue.
Hope that it is not.
Good luck !
I already have done both, and i just have done the 2 things again just in cas
Factory reset => still having problem
XWKJ3 => i'm getting permanently a message like com.android.phone crashed, i now remember why i changed for an older ROM
Sounds like flashing many roms syndrome .
Also the no no of using PIT files .
Suggestion
Download full stock rom .
Backup all data .
Go to recovery Mounts and storage Format > Cache System Data > SD Card .
No boot now clean empty phone .
Download mode and via Odin flash stock rom .
Test if still faulty return under warranty .
jje
I dont want to be a negative ned and throw a spanner in the works here but if the IMEI is intact and the phone was bought second hand(and no offence with what im about to say) but is it possible that the IMEI has been blocked cos yourve unknowingly bought a stolen phoneIt just seems strange that only calls and sms are blocked with the IMEI no being changed.Sorry if ive miss understood the question.No offence intended.

[Q] [HELP] GPS auto on at P780

as subject last few weeks ago I've got this issue, previous months it was working fine.
when my mobile data ON (SIM1), GPS auto ON, tried many times to turn it OFF it keeps back to ON after few minutes.
It's annoying since its drain my battery. Suspect it is related to google location sharing, so I turn it off all location sharing then its back to on again and again. But it is no issue when I turn off mobile data at SIM1 (3G) and connect via wifi also no same symptom when I moved simcard to SIM2 (2G) and using mobile data.
So, first what I did is do factory reset and do ROM refresh trough maintenance mode -- > no luck
downgrade ROM from 124 > 119, factory reset, formating internal and external storage, and do ROM refresh trough maintenance mode --> no luck either.
at this point im hopeless and thinking to move to previous brand which is run more stable. So, any guide or help it will be very welcome before I throw this lenovo :crying:
thanks.

I have a question. Did you try to change your SIM card with a new one or to change your GSM network something like Orange with Vodafone?
Sent from my Lenovo P780 using LiFe v.07 and TWRP 2.6.3.0.
Hi,
I too experienced the same GPS auto on problem. It all started about 2 weeks ago and sucked the battery a lot.
I tried to downgrade my ROW 8GB S124 to S119 original rom, same problem persist, then I tried S123 rom same thing, and now I am back to S124 rom nothing solved. I did wipe the cache, Dalvik, data and andriod secure during each upgrade / downgrade, and also format storage and reset from Android system. Also tried custom rom, not successful in solving the gps problem.
Really haedache with this problem, does it mean that my phone has hardware problem ? Or I have to change another sim card into slot 1 to see if it reproduce the same issue ?
GPS Auto on problem
Hi - I have the same problem. I 'm using Lenovo P780_ROW_S116_130828 ROM. I've noticed that the problem appears only on local roaming. My network enables local roaming on T-mobile. Only then it switches on GPS. As if it was launched by the APN? I've tried to switch off all services with location/fused location/geotagging etc. no luck. Problem disappeared only when it is unable to dial (to many services switched off). If it dials thru t-mobile - GPS launches. On standard network - or other providers everything is ok. Changing modem img to v52 - also no luck. What I know is that whenever I turn off Allow Network Initiated Request in Mobile Uncle Tools (AGPS settings in dev mode) it reappears switched on. Maybe it is the problem?

[Q] Lenovo P780 (probably not ROW) unable to change modem.

Hello everyone.
My problem is simple, I can't change the modem.
More information:
I got my P780 some time ago with 4.2 from the vendor. For some days now, the device was softbrick'd. After a complete flash and 3 days of back and forth I got 4.4.2 S221 Life installed with TWRP and CWM recovery (can easily change between). With this version i actually CAN (miracly!) connect not only to 3G, but to 2G!! (Only version so far for me)
If it helps, I live in Germany and probably got the chinese version (chinese letters written on battery)
Problem is, the connection is not very stable :/
So I decided to switch the modem to v51. That's where the problems start. I got the zip on the ext_SD, flashed with TWRP and CWM and wiped the cache. But the "Baseband version" is still at "P780.V101..........", even after several modems, it does nothing!
My second problem is, that the WLAN-connection only works once. I enter the password, it works and after I got out of range and back in it won't connect again!! I have to "Forget" the connection and connect all over again with entering the password.
I really hope you can help me

what i found is Alice Project Rom gives you the best wifi signal and somewhere in stympy s post you will find attached modem .. now that you are in germany i think it will work best for signal... just flash it from recovery

Thanks for the quick reply.
Unfortunatly this doesn't help either. I flashed it, but the signal strength is nevertheless bouncing between nothing (maybe 10db above noise) and full reception. Also in 2G as well as in 3G.
AND the Baseband version haven't changed at all (still v101)
what i noticed is with Alice Project i got the best signal reception for WIFI and for phone also ... its using baseband of S920.V101 may be thats why...
or alternatively serach for S920 modem drivers and give a try ..
cheers

I tried nearly every modem I could find (around 15-20) but none changed the baseband version or anything.

P9000 - No radios with official stable nougat

I've installed the official Nougat update from Elephone using the SP flash tool. Before the update, everything on the phone was working.
After the update, the phone boots Android 7 fine, but no SIM cards are recognised.
I've tried entering Engineer Mode through the phone app to reset the IMEI (I know what they are) but the 'Connectivity' page in Engineer Mode doesn't list phone radios, only FM, Bluetooth, NFC and WiFi.
So I rooted the phone and tried entering AT commands through a terminal. But the folder /dev/radios is empty.
It's like my phone has no... well, no phone. I guess the driver is broken somehow.
Does anyone have any tips on how to proceed?

Well, there's one who didn't read the question. This is not about restoring the IMEIs.
Alright. I know flashing nougat might break the radios and also IMEI. This includes not detecting simcards. I had this problem myself.....
I have the same problem, or similar .
I can sometimes send and recieve text messages and sometimes i can call. Data traffic seems to work ok.
Right now as soon as i try to make a call i lose connection to the mobile network.
Theres a simple fix, reflash 6.0, then do format all + download android 7, imei wont be restored, but both sims will be recognized and work normally

that seems like a hardware issue, i think theres a few cheap speakers and you could try to fix urself on ali express theres speaker at around 10$ it ahould be farelly easy to replace it
I've had this same problem, but only after replacing my screen due to damage. Ever since then, it'll see the sim but wont connect to my network.

Not registered on network

Good day guys.
I have a problem that I think is very common, however I haven't found a solution yet. I recently update my S6 edge (925I - latam) via odin to Nougat, everything was cool but I can't do or receive both calls or sms. I have cellular signal, however there is not registered with the network carrier.
I already flash modem.bin from older firmwares and do not work. Sometimes I loose cellular connection or stay the same, with signal but not registered. I tried other possible solutions like airplane mode and reboot, flashing roms, connect only via 2G or 3G, nothing have worked. My sim is not corrupted and the imei is just fine, without report or related.
I hope you can help me. Thank you very much.

Same issue for me.
Tried:
OTA update
Odin update - installing new stock firmware (with different software version)
Factory reset
Installing TWRP + LinageOS beta
Replacing the sim slot in a service
Nothing worked. Anybody?
Look in settings > status
Do you guys have an IMEI?
This happend to me 2-3 times last 30 days... sometimes I have signal but not registred on network, sometimes there's even no signal, etc...
I also tried several things to resolve the problem...flashing modem, reset dialer, changing network mode, enabling airpalne mode, another SIM card, etc... For the 1st time, flashing modem helped... but 2 days ago when this happened again flashing modem did not help...then I tried changing network mode and I got signal again... last night it also lost signal and today I changed network mode to 4g/3g/2g auto and it got signal again, then switched back to 2g and it's fine till now...
Hope this will not repeat....if does, coulb be very annoying thing...

Bro, download some older firmware from the one you have from sammobile and exctract it...there you'll find modem.bin
At last, I couldn't fix my s6...so I sold it...then the guy who bought it needed to write some chip to motherboard and he got it working again...
