Need some expert here for help before I use ODIN to restore the factory firmware package.
Currently have G925W8 (Canadian Rogers) and currently running Int 5.1.1 rom on it. All of sudden my phone can't make or receive phone calls. I mean when I tried to make the phone call, it just ends right away, and no one can call in to my phone number either and goes to VM directly.
I tried different kernel (Arter/Hacker/UniKernel) and different rom combination...Still no GO...
I tried to apply Mr.X Audio Patch too (not sure how many patches are there, but I only download the one for Mr.X audio patch for 920T) and it doesn't work either.
I know in G925W8 forums talk about different BL/Modem, different combination and no go either.
Please note my phone works perfectly and I can get the internet connection (LTE) but just can't make the phone call. Even now I won't use the phone much but still need to have the phone work.
I think the major issue is when I am in the phone, go to call settings -> More Settings that give me an error "Failed to Read data Network or Sim card error".. I though it's my sim card, but i plugged it in my 1+1 and have no issue making/receiving calls..
Anyone that have any idea?!?
calling in out
had the same problem, in my case i installed an original samsung 5.1.1 and a kernel to root the phone, i got the same as you, everything worked but the phone.
only way to get out, is download from samsung firmware repository or sam mobile the EXACT ROM FOR YOU MODEL AND CARRIER (i cannot emphasize enough the CARRIER) believe it or not if you want to install an original rom you must respect the carrier for a custom rom it's something else altogether
in your case you odin with the rom of you phone/carrier IF IT WORKS (NOT ROOTED) I mean ccalling in/out, then install a different kernel in order to root.
if it works then your previous kernel (as was in my case) was the culprit
good luck
the carrier is where you bought the phone or the cell co affiliated to the store where you bought the phone, there's ALWAYS a link from "A" carrier in your phone

I just flashed simply honey 5.1 and now i cant recieve calls or even get a data signal. help? i seem to be having the same problem with anything simply honey 3.8+
Back to stock (Odin), and than try reflashing. Looks like bad flash. Unless you had bad luck like me and core files got messed up...
I have Odin'd back and reflashed twice now
My stock works fine, but whenever I flash I lose my data capabilities and I can't receive calls. Is that what it's like when your core files get messed up? If so, how to fix?
No, you have different problem than me than.... my does not connect at all in any rom.
sorry but your problem is beyond my knowledge, I would say that maybe bad download, but it seams you downloaded more that one rom so... sorry
Go to settings, network, mobile, check data, check roaming, then go to network operator, choose provider automatically.
After it finishes, go back and go to access point names and make sure you have the correct apn.
If not, please state the rom, kernel, and modem by going to settings, about.
After I checked Data and roaming and set it to choose automatically it said "registered on network" but when I went to APN it says no items.
I am using:
Firmware
2.3.4
Baseband
T959UVKB5
Kernel
2.6.35.7-I9000XXJVP-CL264642
Bullet-JVP-1.2Ghz-v5.4-voodoo#12
Build number
GINGERBREAD.XXJVR
Go to the Market, search for APN Global, install it and let it install your settings for your carrier. Let me know if you still need help.
Also, what is your carrier and which country? You have an I9000 kernel that's why I'm asking.
Hey, I noticed you folks were mentioning something like what I was having trouble with. My phone shows that I have a 3G or H connection; however, any app that uses data fails to connect. Any ideas on solving this? It seems as though Tomulek may have experience with my issue.
Hello all.
I have an I9100T cellular that for some reason doesn't "want" to make and receive phone calls.
I have put a valid sim card from different phone networks.
It does recognize the sim (The phone is universally unlocked).
I can surf the net and get 3G.
I can make the emergency phone call (It works I tried)
Can't make regular phone calls
1) I have tried a lot of firmwares (Different kernels)
2) I have tried tried official firmware
3) I have tried different Modem firmwares
4) The IMEI of the phone is corrent and functioning
5) The versions I tried were Gingerbread like (2.3.5, 2.3.6)
6) I have added all the radio frequencies in the Service Mode.
Can anyone give me any ideas.
Thanks.
Could it be that the phone is blocked or barred? In Australia there is a website that looks up imei numbers. Not sure if you have something similar in your country.

Hi all!
I bought an S6 Edge second hand and after flashing a stock ROM, I had the "emergency only" calls issue, I tried everything I could find in the forums to no avail and I ended up taking it to a repair service. I did not think they could fix it but they did and I would like to know what they did to it in order to prevent it from happening again and to know if I can leave it as default (not custom OS) so that it can upgrade.
State of phone when bought:
So, the phone was working well with all carriers (from Colombia). The only thing I was able to notice after I bought it was that it was still on Marshmallow (6.0.1) with carrier branded stuff. It was in perfect shape otherwise.
So I downloaded a stock ROM and installed it using Odin. After this the phone would not let me make calls as it was not registering on the network. It did not even let me make emergency calls despite getting full bars of signal and being able to recognise the list of carriers when attempting to manually connect to them.
Important: The ROM downloaded was for the right version of the phone which was the G925i and the IMEI, serial number and baseband were not altered from the original. Also, I checked the phone to see if it was reported as lost/stolen and it was not (of this I'm sure because in Colombia you can consult a centralised database on any carrier's webpage). Also.. Here in Colombia it is illegal for carriers to lock phones.
Steps I took to fix it:
Downloaded ROMs for all carriers, branded and unbranded, I even installed one from Trinidad and Tobago and a LATAM one.
I performed all the tricks to disable and enable flight mode, location services, try con connect manually to the networks, changing to GSM only, GMS/CDMA, international roaming, etc.
I also extracted modem.bin from an earlier version and flashed the modem.bin with Odin (6.0.1 moden on 7.0, 5.1.1 moden on 6.0.1 and 5.1.1 moden on 7.0). All modems flashed correctly and the issue remained exactly the same.
So I finally gave up.. I installed the latest stock ROM which was an unbranded Nougat (7.0) version and took it to a repair service and they fixed it in a couple hours.
What I noticed after the phone was "repaired":
- The phone was rooted, SuperSu was installed, no other root app was installed.
- On SuperSu, there are entries for ADB shell (they all say Superuser command contents have not been logged for this entry) in a two minute timespan.
- The android version was downgraded to 6.0.1, I was told not to try to update it.
- Developer options was enabled with USB debugging turned on.
- The boot option (the one where you can wipe data and cache partition) was left as original (not the TWRP one).
- The ROM used to downgrade was the same I had before but only downgraded the version.
I suspect this same procedure was performed before on the phone but it had the original ROM carrier branded so it seems as if they installed a custom ROM, rooted it, connected with pc and performed some command line stuff to fix it, then cleaned the bootloader to a stock one.
The questions:
Any ideas what did the repairman do to fix the phone? Also, would it be safe to make a full backup with TWRP and flash again a stock ROM upgraded to 7.0 and then flash the backed up modem to get it working? Or would that possibly screw up the repair?
Thank you all in advance for any help. I'm sure there are lots of people out there experiencing the same "emergency only" issue I had but there does not seem to be a fix around, but clearly there is one! So I hope this sheds some light into what could possibly happen.
Hey guys,
since one week my phone doesn't connect to my mobile provider anymore, it says emergency calls all the time. When I restart my phone it requires the pin to unlock it - so my phone detects the SIM also the strength of the signal changes and I can also search for other providers but I can't connect to any of them. I've checked the SIM Card in another phone without problems. I did a reset of the connection settings but without any success.
It's making me crazy because im travelling right now and my mobile is pretty useless also I don't have a PC with me to reflash the ROM...
TWRP is flashed and the phone runs with Fulmics Rom 3.5
edit: after updating to Fulmics Rom 4.0 the mobile connection worked for a few hours but now it's the same problem again. I did a clean flash with a factory reset...
The Problem is resolved for OP. However, we are keeping it open just in case someone else runs into the same problem and wishes to discuss their issue.
Hi all,
Alright so this is going to be a long post. So I recently flashed my phone to the U1 firmware, I currently have an unrooted Verizon Unlocked Samsung S9+. I wanted to switch phone carriers over to Visible (subsidiary of Verizon), here are the order of events that occurred:
1. Visible's website says that my device in not compatible using their IMEI checker, there is a solution that was found on reddit about flashing the device on the U1 firmware.
2. I flashed the device on the U1 firmware using Odin and the Visible SIM card worked as expected. No issues with the flash
3. Data/Texts etc.. are all working as expected. Except for Voicemail.
When I try to check my Voicemail, it is acting as if it's still on the Verizon Voicemail system. It says "Welcome to the message management system, please enter your mailbox number". No one can leave me a VM either because of this. I tried several different combinations of numbers, including my full 10 digit cell number and last 4, to which it says "XXX is not a valid mailbox number", which would be because my number is no longer active on Verizon, so it's unable to access it. Which makes sense. The Visible Customer Care team tried the following:
1. Provisioning my VM multiple times
2. Take out SIM card, turn phone off for 1 min, insert SIM card again, and toggle airplane mode for 30 seconds
3. Reset network settings
After numerous days of troubleshooting with them, eventually they said it was because my device isn't compatible, ok, I can't argue with that. I have not seen anyone else experiencing this issue that had flashed their phone to U1 firmware.
After trying all of this with them, I eventually factory reset my device, hoping that might do something. That still did not work.
My questions is, is there something I missed with flashing the U1 firmware? Why is it still using Verizon's VM system even though I flashed it to U1? Is there any way to fix this? Any help is greatly appreciated, and please don't hesitate if you need any other information.

Please check your voice mail settings in your phone app. See my screenshots.
There you should select the correct service provider and the Visible mailbox number.
