Hello everyone,
Iam Claudio, iam new in this forum, and i need a looooot of help from the Android master.
In first place, I must apologize for my english, is bad, i know, but i try to explain the best i can.
Ok, here is the thing: I have my S5830, and i have problem with that, because the phone show me always "only emergency calls", and i cant make calls or send sms, etc. I inspect my SIM card, and in any other phone work very well, so the problem is in my device; so, reading a lot of information, i undertood that the CSC in my phone is incorrect. Well, maybe that is the problem, because recently back i flash the phone and "unbricked", following the next instrcutions:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30731157#post30731157
So, the phone was unbkicked bery well, but i use the "Open Australia" firmware that quoted there. Everything looked good until the phone show me "only emergency calls". Ok, so only that i need is change the firmware for my FW country, and here is an another problem: i dont know if is the "i" version or another version, ¿why? because actually i have the "i" firmware version on my device, but iam from Chile, and the only firmwares for my country (according SamMobile) are "C" and "L" versions. I downloaded both versions, and i try to install that, but Odin(4.1X) doesn't recognize the phone, only is recognized when i use modified Odin for "i" devices. so ¿any suggestion for that? What I can do to fix this?
Now, i have other problem: When i try to install CWM Recovery 5.0.X.X, i can access to the recovery, but when i reboot the device, it come back to factory recovery, so ¿why the CWM Recovery is temporaly?
Finally, i trying to expand my "phone memory" using my card, for LINK2SD application, but i can't, because the device can not be mounted. I used EXT2, EXT3, EXT4 (always 512MB) primary partition and FAT32 primary partition, but doens't work; What I can do to fix this?
I hope you can help me . I dont know what else to do to resolve this. Stay tuned to your comments. Of course, thank you very much .
Regards
[email protected] , Just reported your post to be removed to help section for proper troubleshooting process ( General section is dedicated to walk through/Tutorials/Mods/etc etc ) .
Topic will be transferred there in 2 days by mods , so don't be surprised mate .
Before I start troubleshooting , remove your battery and see your model number registered there .
Study this topic i assisted while ago for more information regarding 3g and similar situation , before i continue with rest of your concerns ,, lets focus on fixing your call for now mate .
For permanent CWM recovery console , you need to flash custom kernel comes with CWM embedded ( do not do such thing for your stock , just flash temp CWM every time from your stock e3 for technical reasons for now ).
I will address all of your concerns eventually,,,,,,,
Now, No 3G in the phone

Thanks @ehsanotaku for your help and thnaks for answer so fast!
Ok, i followed your instructions, and now i can see my net!!!!!! yuuupiiiii!!! But, Not everything is so perfect, because i dont have 3G network. I removed the battery and i see the model number registered there, and that is "M" model, but i have installed the "i" version on the device, so, maybe, that could be the problem (i saw in SamMobile, and M version is just for Chile).
I dont know if i change the FW version, could be lost the IMEI, Baseband, or another kind of data, so, in first place, i need to backup the nandroid, efs and all the important data, but i don't know how to do that in this cellphone.
Could you guide me a little more, and help me on this , please?
I will be attentive to your comments. Of course, thank you very much .
Regards
@skullsleep; before we proceed with more instructions , tell me which part did you act on it and what do you mean you can see your net ? what do you see when you dial "*#06#" without quote into your dialer ( 15 digits IMEI number box is appeared or it was wiped out ) ?
what is your SIM card carrier/operator of M model from Chile ?
i variation from Open Australia Un- bricked your device , but your CSC ( your APN settings of your carrier ) and Modem ( base band ) was altered . Therefore you lost the ability of making contact/call / SMS/3g through your operator so far .

hi there!
Ive read all I could and despite coming across several similar problems, haven't found an answer (so if anyone has an idea, plz help!)
I'll try to be as concise as possible:
I have a message that says: not registered on network
I have a China Unicom galaxy S3 (international model, gt-i9300) not copy, original version, bought from service provider store, running forever on android 4.0.4 (no updates available, via kies, or software update whatsoever)
As you know, because it was bought in China, it's blocked from factory settings (no svoice, google play, among others and of course a reduced overall functionality and an alarmingly high used of RAM despite of every app being closed) and even you can download most apps, they're in Chinese and they're different and not completely working versions of them (i.e. fb, skype,...)
Read and read, until managed to do rooting via heimdall (only have mac available), once installed SU, managed to download and install google play, but it kept on crashing, along a previously (VPN only) functioning fb app, and twitter.
After a while of more research I came across odin mobile, and by downloading an international ROM from Hong Kong via Sammobile, managed to install 4.1.2 from HK (I9300OZSEMC1). Despite the now no restriction phone i had, i came across a problem: cannot call or message or use mobile data, only with a message that says " not registered on network"
I did check the sim card, and selected the network manually, without success.
I checked the AP, CP and CSC and they were unknown.
After much frustration i remember i had a backup if the original carrier, and after re-rooting, managed to get back to the super blocked version of it, bu t the problem remained: not registered on network.
I checked again the ap, cs and csc and now are back to factory default (just like they were before all this odyssey began).
I changed the sim card to my gf's iphone and it works there, just not on the galaxy....
I repeated the above two times more, using roms from HK, Taiwan and UK..... same problem, even when going back.
Any ideas? I'm quite desperate now
thanks!!!
Is your IMEI the same as under the battery .
If not restore your backed up EFS folder.
No backup = service centre .
Do you have the correct modem and CSC for your network .

yes, imei is the same
before doing all the process, i verified and saved screen captures of how it was before and after, both pictures coincide, but still nothing...
(what is EFS folder? , i've done this with little knowledge on the topic, so i've no idea what's that ^^"
I guess service centre might help, but well, since this is China... i expect the worst.

I'm assuming you may have changed the modem during the flashing of the HK fw, try finding a Chinese Modem and flashing that. TBH this is why people tell you to read and read again before rooting and flashing custom roms.
Hello everyone here on XDA !!!
First i want to say sorry if there is another thread with this particular problem, searched the forums but i didn't find something related to my problem
Here's the thing:
A friend gave me an Atrix 4G for free, with no baseband and no IMEI number. All i know about the device is that he used OTA update and went wrong.
Here is what i know about the device
Stock 2.3.4 no ROOT and no Bootloader Unlocked
System version
45.31.0.MB860.Retail.en.GB
Build number
4.5.2A-74_OLE-31
(i think the phone was not on any UK Carrer because the system version, i saw that those who are branded have carrer name not retail, altough i don't know what "retail" comes from, maybe the phone is unlocked by factory)
What i tried to do to solve problem
Searched internet , found something about radio issue, flashed different radios via fastboot with no luck.
Found a stock image on internet with the same build nr. and system version. it's .sbf.gz file.
i used RSD even tough i read it can brick my device for good but i said wtf (turned off the phone and enter RSD mode with Power+Vol. Down button)
1 used the file as it is XXXXX.sbf.gz and rsd unpacked it and flashed it.RSD said "passed" the phone booted up with "insert SIM" message.Rebooted to insert sim but again no baseband and no imei number
2 i unpacked the archive with 7zip to get the XXXX.sbf file, RSD said passed the phone booted up with "insert sim" message, rebooted and again no baseband and imei...
in both cases my baseband number is N_01.100.00R ( i don't know if these are correct, i think this imei number is the one from witch device was .sbf extracted or something like that and after reboot the data from ROM is not the same as the data from NVRAM)
Mod Edit: Don't post your IMEI on a website full of hackers, silly
I also found something about NVRAM and it's data that could possibly be corrupted but nothing about how to restore it, and messing around with the NVRAM could lead to a dead device
This is not the first time in android world my friends have smartphones and ask me to root and instal custom roms on them and every time they have problems with their devices i help, but i do not own a smartphone because i can't afford one and that's why i want so bad to make this atrix work
Again i'm sorry if this is a duplicate thread but i searched around xda and google but didn't found the answer , maybe i'm too dumb....
EDIT: well guys i did it, if someone encounters this problem, here is how i fixed it:
1. RSD the apropiate .sbf for atrix, and let it boot for the first time
2. reboot or pull the battery out and start the phone.enter fastboot mode and flash a radio or the same radio as in your .sbf file
done! now the phone will have imei and baseband after reboots
edit 2: guys today my phone rebooted and i have no baseband and imei, the phone worked for a day and a half, rebooted twice, but today was the 3'rd reboot and went band, i flashed the radio but nothing, please help me

First, CALM DOWN.
Now that we are all cool, this is a forum, not a help desk. If no one has posted anything is either this has been answered before or that no one has an proper answer.
This has been in fact, discused a few days back and we reacghed the conclusion that there was nothing we can possibly do to fix it, other than take it back to motorola's rma
Console
well thank's for the answer, one more question, can i acces a debug console or whatever it's called, i mean there is an error after first reboot and it's keept somewhere in a tex file i guess, how can i access the "guts" of this device?, since i don';t have any idea where to take it in my country, and no GSM Service was unable to help me with an answer i want to mess around with it and learn more about android

Hi, this post is for everyone ho have big problems with the samsung galaxy s3 like me. My nature is to be curious, thats why i install many roms and custom roms and after that in the morning i bricked my phone. The imei it was 0049..... and serial number a number not throught. Practicaly my phone it was like a media player because wifi its working. I try many metods but without luck. In the past i make a backup of efs folder but after many metods of restore .... no imei. I look on my phone and i want to jump over his had ). After i smoke a tigarette on a site i see e simple metode. It is an aplications CHIMERA PHONE TOOL . Take a look on site : https://chimeratool.com. What do you must to have is to pay 12 euros. Is not to much because for go to service i think we must to pay much more. The program is very simple.
- Connect with USB DEBUGING ON. I hope you install the drivers for s3.
- The aplications (if you pay) show like this in the picture below.
- You have many posibilities: root unroot, flash new firmware from the zone where is the phone located. Its nice because for me is not important witch csc kernel modem bla bla bla i have. Important it was to working very good. You can repair imei, serial number, and.... MAC adresse of wifi and bluetooth.. nice. And not for the last place , you can UNLOCK the phone.
Dont make like me, first you must to flash firmware beacuse its better to be stock and new and for not have errors on writing imei..After you flash the rom you must root and after that write s/n and imei. By mistake in the morning when i erase imei i erase also the serial number and i dont realize that. Its very important to verify on settings if you have S/N like on the back of the phone near imei. After that the phone is working without any problem. In the past every time i flash something i must to install pached kernel and modem of ZULUMAN to working. Or ariza patch . Good luck, if you have problem write here.

Hi. To answer you question, you may try this:
First you must root your phone and install custom recovery TWRP.
Here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-p780/help/rooting-tutorial-kitkat-t2835605
And here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/len...oot-install-twrp-custom-recovery-kit-t2849538
Now go to my post How about some modems, here:https://drive.google.com/folderview...&usp=sharing&tid=0B2ORIgaV4iacOVpDTDcxYW4taDQ
Download and flash ONLY the ones from EUROPA.
Good Luck.
hello. for now still no sucess, the message "unfortunately the process com.android.phone has stopped" keeps pop up, i tried several modems and none of them work. i will go on trying and them i will give feed back. thanks for the help
hello, maybe could you help me. i returned to the previous version that i had, installed, which is version X-viberom by xakep. the baseband version for that rom is the V52, which i presume is for chinese version. i think that the x-Viberom as chinese version for base.
with that baseband i never had any problem with the SIM cards, the two work without any problem .
the question that i would like you to help me is the following: with that baseband V52 i have to install a chinese rom or is it possible to install that modem over a ROW version ?
thank you very much for the help
hello. i already solve the problem, and after all it was so easy. i disable automatic date and time and automatic time zone and went to apps, phone and then i perfomr clear data and voila, the phone works perfect. thank you for all
Hi everyone,
I come to you as I am a noob as far as twinkering with my gt i9300 goes and I think I messed it up big time.
Here is what I did :
I had android 4.2.1 on my gt i9300, the stock rom from sfr (french career).
I network unlocked it using my career official unlock code, which worked great. It recognized my japanese career sim very well (i am in japan now).
Then I got greedy and wanted to update my android version so I downloaded a 4.4 android rom from I don't remember well, and a cwm manager.
The network unlock worked fine at first but after a restart it did not work anymore. It asked me for a network unlock pin.
I thought it was asking for a sim pin at first, which my sim did not have as I hadn't set one. I got mad trying sim pin code and gave up. Had I given it the network unlock code instead of possible sim pin code it might have worked but I will never know.
Then I tried to solve the problem installing android 5.1 cyanogen version but I had the same problem except this time I understood it was asking for the network unlock code. The problem is that when I fed it to him, it did not work, the request was unsuccessful.
So I looked for a solution on internet and found all kind of things:
I read about restoring the efs partition, but i do not have any back up.
I read about installing a stock rom version, change the csc and retry the official network unlock code, but it does not work, whether I restore through Kies (which gives me a vodafone version) or manually (with an sfr version, french vodafone it seems).
I read about installing Galaxy simunlock app after rooting the phone and installing userbox, but it tells me that my locking system is not handled as it is too new.
I upgraded, downgraded, rooted in every possible way but nothing works.
I am running out of solution and I therefore turn to you for help, hoping you will be more creative than me.
I have the official network unlock code, the phone, no back up of any kind and really little hope.
Thank you in advance for any help you could give me !
Have a nice day !
Sadly you didn't make a backup of efs. That should be first thing before playing with customs.
Oh well, I suppose your efs may be screwed up due to entering couple times bad network unlock key.
I suggest go to next corner GSM shop and pay 2400JPY for efs fixing and perm sim unlock. But before that, check your IMEI and serial number are correct. Thay can fix all of this in one step.
You need to do this via box, you can't reprogram that or fix yourself because you did everything that may help and you still have a problem. You can't use any software on efs v2. It will not work.

Thank you for your quick answer !
I will follow your advice and go to a "professional".
However I don't understand how they are able to do what I can't, do they have special softwares or anything ?
I would like to know because I do have the official unlock code.
Also, I would still like to upgrade to android 5.1 cyanogen version, do you think it will be possible after such a modification ?
I should not encounter any risk if I backup the efs beforehand right ?
Thank you again
Service will connect your phone to, so called, box, ie Z3X Box. This is some kind of pc-phone bridge hardware which can alow to decrypt and encrypt efs files, fix IMEI, serial number, flash firmware, IMEI certificate, remove network locks, sim locks etc.
Of course you can backup your efs now but it is corrupted and useful. Backup this partition after repair. Than you will be able to flash anything you want. Even CM12.1,no problem.

Ok I understand better now.
Thank you very much for your answers, they have been really helpful !
Do not let them plug your phone to the box if you want to install 4.4 or 5.0 because if you give them they will replace your imei number with a clon imei number and you will stuck with max 4.3 and you need to install a patched modem and kernel every time you format your phone... tell them to try to fix without replacing your imei number first. Replacing the imei number should be the last thing to do...
Why do you think they will clone his phone's IMEI? It's even illegal.
If someone doesn't know how to use box than he should not work in GSM service.
You can rewrite original IMEI and serial number without cloning anything.
An probably IMEI is fine, it's network lock problem.

Most repair shops dont care its legal or not. Also most costumers dont know this kind of things and as long as phone is working its okay for them. Mine is just a warning to make him look like he knows this things so repairman doesnt do something with no going back...
