Galaxy s3 no network internet please help!!!!! - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

Flashed DCD 3.2.2 and can't access internet, also showing Sprint info instead of VZW

I am helping my mom with her VX6800 for verizon. I first flashed the RUU_TITAN_SPRINT_WWE_3.35.651.2_RS_TITAN_3.35.04_4 350H_SPCS_AM_Ship ROM, just to get the radio from it (If anyone knows where to get the entire Ship ROM with 3.42.30 please tell me, can't find it). I then flashed DCD 3.2.2 and then installed the Verizon carrier cab.
The phone was working right away to make calls, although it still showed Sprint on it, as opposed to Verizon. When i try to access the internet it gives me an error saying "Dialed #777, Cannot connect for unknown reason." I had flashed a verizon phone for a friend before and had to call verizon to get a new code, doesn't seem like the issue here but not sure why i'm not getting internet service and if it has anything to do with the sprint logo showing on the screen..
TIA!!
Sounds like maybe you let the sprint ROM reboot (reset) after you flashed it to get the radio? Check the Titan WIKI on XDA and it'll tell you everything you need to know to fix it.

I have read through the Wiki a few times and it doesn't say anything in there about the ROM rebooting or resetting
"To flash, enter bootloader mode by pressing the power, camera button and then the reset button. The screen should be at a three colored (red, Blue and Green) screen, check to make sure you have the appropriate bootloader. Then plug the device and computer into the USB cable. Start the RUU.exe upgrade program on the PC that usually is provided with the ROM."
I did all this, except not sure if i am using a RUU utility, i just double click on the ROM icon,which i think has the RUU built in. It then flashes the SPrint ROM. if i am supposed to do something after it has finished flashing to prevent it from rebooting or resetting i couldn't find it in the wiki, so if u can just tell me that would help me out a lot...thanks heaps
you let the customizations run... end of discussion...
i think at this point, it'd be easiest for you to flash back to Verizon STOCK and then follow my guide to upgrade it (see signature)..
To flash back to stock, see the info from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=376873
You need to reset before the carrier customizations kick in. If you didn't then that is why you have the Sprint info on your phone.
There are a bunch of threads here about this problem. Let me see if I can find a link to one.
Here is some more info from the wiki:
do NOT boot into the OS after flashing to any of these ROMs.. After screen calibration the carrier customisations will run and alter your EPST settings to that operator's settings.
OOPS! You just let the customisations run but are with a different carrier than the ROM you just flashed to!
Choose A or B
A.follow above EPST instructions in step I to edit back to the settings that you recorded
B.Goto to the Titan Stock Page to restore your device back your carrier's default settings, boot into the OS and permit the cusomisations to run, and then return back here to start over again.

you dont need to reset at all. ugh. follow these steps:
1) flash sprint rom
2) at 'tap screen to set up device' flash your rom of choice
3) install carrier cab
4) soft reset
literally, its that simple. if you need a step by step, i guess here you go:
1) flash sprint rom
no need to enter bootloader unless your installing from SD​2) after rom installs, it will automatically reset
3) at 'tap screen to set up device', unplug and plug your phone back in
4)run (assuming you are using DCD) the kitchen or the RUU.
phone will reset after done installing​5) calibrate the screen and let customizations run
6) install carrier cab
7) soft reset
done

Hi there,
The 3.42.30 Radio was pulled from a Vogue and was modified to work with there Titan, therefore there is no ship ROM for it. Your best bet is to format an SD card with the FAT32 filesystem and copy the TITAIMG.NBH onto it and load up in bootloader mode. There are thorough instructions in the Titan wiki. Best of luck!
Hate to break it to you all, but if he let customizations run...then he's screwed unless he can get Verizon to issue him a DMU reset. If not, the phone needs to be replaced. End of story.
damn....I had to get a new phone after my first time flashing too...

Are you serious?? oh no
How would you go about asking vzw for a DMU reset? i'm not sure what that is....and would vzw do a phone replacement??? they won't say it was voided?
Thanks all for all your help...i haven't had a chance to reflash anything yet, but gonna give it a go later today and pray it works!

if you call verizon, youre gunna have to make it sound like you know WAY more than they do about the issue. if you google 'DMU reset', im sure youll find some information about this. if you have another phone, switch your service to the other ESN, then switch it back. then call verizon and say that your MIP settings are not receiving a static IP from verizon. tell them you just switched your service back to this phone, and youve had this issue before. Tell them you need the data features removed and re-added to the account, and you need your DMU keys reset.
if you cant switch ESNs to and back, youll have to say you had a serious software issue on your phone, which required a hard reset and now your data connection is taking way longer than normal to connect, and you would like your DMU keys reset.
i recommend researching as much as you can about this before calling. depending on the TSR you get, they could ask you alot of questions. most of the time, if you answer all their questions before they ask them, theyll do what you say
EDIT:
when you do talk to them, before they can tell you any steps, make sure you tell them that you've:
soft reset
hard reset
clear storage
*288 1
*228 2
*22899
those are all the general things theyre gunna tell you to do before they reset anything for you. you just need to make it sound like youve already done everything possible, so the last possible step is resetting your keys for you
VZW has....well, an interesting way of doing things
So, I spoke to a VZW rep tonight after flashing back to a stock VZW ROM and, as expected, not getting a data connection (or able to make calls).
The rep was pretty helpful and knowledgeable. Mind you, i am on AT&T and this is my mom's phone i am helping her with (or at least trying to ). ATT base reps suck and for any minor network thing i would always need to speak to a data support tech (who these days tend to also suck pretty bad as well!) This VZW rep was no dummy and, to my surprise, understood all the things i threw at her. She was overly diligent which gets annoying, retrying lots of the same things, but i understand these people need to be, and she was making progress (bc after flashing the stock ROM my voice calling wasn't working initially either).
When I mentioned doing a DMU reset she explained that she can't do that and in order to have that done she needs to submit a request to her network team. I thought she would have them call me to troubleshoot the problem or something, but that isn't how it works . The network team doesn't speak to customers; she would be calling me back to tell me that the problem should be fixed and they did what they needed to do. I found it odd that they wouldn't need to speak to me to find out if it is working or not....Apparently, she said, they can tell if my phone is working/not working for the data connection.
For now i am kind of impressed with VZW's whole approach on how to solve this kind of thing (although it'd been nice if i coulda spoke NOW to a rep that can actually fix my problem), but i am a bit skeptical that it is actually gonna happen. We'll see what they come back with and hopefully i don't get run around in circles and they can indeed get my data working by resetting the DMU or whatever they need to do.

She could have performed the DMU reset without bringing in the network team. She just didn't know how.
oh. well, for what it's worth, your support reps (even the bad ones apparantly) for the most part seem way better than the ones @ ATT! still not planning on switching any time soon though
Thank you!
I just want to deeply thank everyone that contributed to helping me get my problem fixed. The phone is now up and running and I am most appreciative to all of you that took the time to help me!!!
You really have a great community here!
FWIW, Verizon data tech fixed my problem but when i asked what he did he would not tell me....he basically said he "checked some things out and madde sure everything was set up right" while he had me take out my battery and wait. I asked what specifically he did, for research purposes and he said he couldn't tell me
Lol..he performed a DMU reset. I swear some of those techs are so dumb.
Well, he actually denied that he did a DMU reset cause i asked if that was specifically what he did and he said, no...i just checked some things out...and wouldn't tell me what he did.
i am sure you're right, he did the reset, but they must be instructed not to tell customers what they do...i guess maybe to try to prevent us from telling them what to do?

[Q] Just un-rooted a phone to activate and it wont even call out

Sprint store tech deactivated my ladys phone because he saw it was rooted. crappy i know. i unrooted it, and called to activate it and it wont even dial out, but gets ERROR Code 16.
Sprint says it doesnt even look like it was deactivated. But still it wont call out. I have talked to nothing but idiots at Sprint. Anyone have any advice.
Also they keep asking if its rooted when we get to the part in their script where my phone doesnt do what its supposed to. errrr. it boots as S-ON, stock rom
A lot of people were getting that code after we first got root. All I had to do was stay on the line and say we were roaming or something. Search and you should find a bunch of stuff.
Just stay on the line and you should be connected to Sprint. This happened to me after root. They didn't ask me anything. They simply need to reset the phone on their network.
it doesnt connect me to anyone. its wild.. i hear thats most people's solution, to get connected to a rep. but mine says contact them with the number provided? and hangs up

[Q] Mobile Network Connection Problems

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.
Here you have all you need for Odin: http://www.team-passion.com/index.php/wiki/general/15-how-to-use-odin-for-vibrant
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda app-developers app
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:
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BDDLnUcCMAEqvkQ.jpg
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.

[Q] "Not registered on network" - Tried everything

Hello all,
To put my issue simply, I am receiving the "Not registered on network" error on my phone. I have tried many things to resolve it and to help narrow down the possible problems, I will explain my situation and what steps I have taken to try to resolve it. I appreciate you taking the time to read my detailed explanation in advance, as I wish to be as clear and informative as possible.
My phone is an unlocked Australian Galaxy S3 (GT-I9300). I bought it about 6 months ago and about two months ago had some issues with the display come out of the blue. I was able to get this issue resolved through my warranty. When I received the phone back though, I thought it was all working fine but then I noticed I couldn't send SMSs or make calls as my phone wouldn't connect to my phone network (Vodafone). I tried reboots, hard reboots, restoring backups, using a different SIM card (from a different carrier) and I still couldn't get it to work.
During this process of trying to fix it myself, I rooted the phone. So when I realised I couldn't fix it and it could possibly be a hardware issue, I sent it back to be fixed under warranty. Unfortunately my warranty was voided when I rooted the phone, even though it was broken before I rooted it.
So a few days ago I received my phone back again and spent about 6 hours trying to fix it. Here's what I tried...
I tried to flash the latest Australian firmware (XSA) which is the same as the one I initially had when I purchased the phone. I tried factory resets, different firmware flashes, custom ROMs, different modems etc. None of this worked. I thought I had found my solution when I stumbled across ARIZA's patch, but event this did not solve my problem.
The really strange thing is I can occasionally connect to the network and if I try repeatedly, I can sometimes get an SMS to send. I've checked my SIM is clean (I've tried another SIM anyway) and everything seems fine.
My IMEI number is still intact and isn't blacklisted. I've tried restoring backups from when it was working (before I got it "fixed" the first time) and that's not worked. The current status of my phone is:
ROM: Omega v5.0
Version: 4.2.2
Baseband: I9300XELLA
Network: vodafone AU (sometimes shows as Unknown)
Mobile Network State showing as "Disconnected", except in rare moments
IMEI and Serial intact
I've tried all I can think of and all the suggestions I can find on the Internet. I'm hoping someone here will have some suggestions for things I can try. I'd really like to fix this issue as I've been without my phone for months. I'm thinking it could be a hardware issue, but want to make sure I've exhausted all options I can try myself first before trying to get a place to repair it. As my warranty is void, I'm not sure how easy this will be.
Thanks in advance for your time and suggestions,
Jay.

Return to a stock rom and use triangle away to reset the counter, retry with your provider, they may let it slide that you've previously tried.
It would appear that you've already tried everything.
Return to stock and update via OTA, remove root, remember to use triangle away, I personally haven't had to do it but i would imagine that it needs root privileges to complete so thinking about it i would say to use triangle away first.
Hope you get it sorted.

Hey,
Thanks for the quick response.
I doubt they would let it slide as I had a pretty long back and forth with them trying to get them to fix the phone or at least send it back to me without charging me for the shipping costs and that didn't end in my favour. I'm sure they'd remember that they already rejected it due to it being modified and would just blame the rooting for the issues.
I'm thinking I might just reset it all to stock, reset the counter and at least ask. If not, I'll try to find a repair shop who will take a look. Thanks for the suggestion. I'm still open to any other ideas people might have which I can try from my end.
Thanks,
Jay.
Starting point would be correct firmware modem and CSC for your location and network .
Flash your original rom .

Hey,
Thanks for the suggestion. I believe I have tried this by downloading the latest firmware from SamMobile and flashing that through Odin, but I haven't tried it through Keis, so I guess I'll give that a go.
I'll let you know how it goes.
Thanks,
Jay.
Me too. I've an i9305 (S3 LTE) and i've tried every tutorials on internet and so far nothing: always the same issue "not registered on network". In case you solve the issue please let me know. I'll do the same. Txs
I've tried to connect my phone using Keis and it just seems to say "Connecting..." forever. I've tried running the connection troubleshooter and that just seemed to re-install the drivers but not actually fix the issue. I still can't get Keis to even connect to my phone.
Any ideas on why this would be? Or other suggestions I can try for my initial problem?
Thanks,
Jay.
As an update to this, it seems I've tried everything I can on my end to fix it to no avail. I believe it must be a hardware issue and have dropped it into a phone repair centre. I'm hoping they will be able to find the problem and fix it.
I'll let you know how it goes.
Another update to this, I received a response from the repair centre. They said:
"...we took it all apart and checked all connections and serviced it.
Once we put it back together we tested it with Vodafone and Optus sim cards. Both sims had service and were able to connect to the internet as well."
After I asked for more details on what they did to try and help me determine what the problem was, they said:
"The phone looked 100% fine inside, no signs of water or any other damage. Sometimes electronic devices can be a bit temperamental, maybe the fact that we undone and cleaned all connections it's booted it back to life."
So I'm going to pick it up tomorrow, but it sounds like it's all sorted now. So not it's not 100% clear what the issue was, but to anyone having this same problem who has tried everything like I did, it is likely a hardware issue. Your best bet is probably to try a repair shop (assuming your warranty won't cover the problem).
Thanks to those who offered suggestions and good luck to those with the same problem.
Do please tell us if it worked because i'm tempted to do the same as you did before selling it on ebay as faulty for parts. PLEASE ANSWER US BACK AFTER TESTING IT an entire day. THANK YOU A LOT!
Does it work properly now? Thanks - Please reply.
Not sure if it is exactly the same problem but I remember getting that msg when i was on Telstra and I'd installed a new ROM - I went to the Telstra site and got them to send an activation msg that reset my provider info. It didn't seem to matter for phone calls but I wasn't getting any connection to do with data until I 'ran' the msg they sent.

Txs for help but I don't have the backups of my efs folder... so I think it is useless therefore i am going to sell it on ebay as faulty for parts. Unfortunately! I love my i9305!
You should probably do some more searching on site - there are a number of things to do, including getting a service centre to fix it. Be cheaper than a new phone. Is it an i9300 or ann i9305?

It's a i9305 and I've tried everything, every tutorials on internet without success so far. I am tired of the situation and also very disappointed therefore I think i will sell it as faulty. As it regards to a repair center, near my area it's very difficult to find someone who can fix it.
For me it seems my connection is still intermittent when using my Vodafone SIM on my S3 (and the same for another Vodafone SIM I tried on this phone) whereas both SIMs work fine on other phones.
I then tried a Telstra SIM on my S3 and it worked fine. So it seems I have a weird problem with my phone where the combination of the S3 and Vodafone doesn't work, but other phones or other SIMs do work.
I think I'm just going to try changing carrier (I've been meaning to anyway) since it seems their SIMs work in my phone.
Really not sure what is causing this issue, but I'm at the point where I just want it fixed and I don't really care how. Hope you find out how to solve your issue.
How is your phone right now? Im also having the same problem. It always say 'not registered to network' everytime i make a call. This happens whenever i turn on the flight mode, then turning it off.. i have a strong signal and i can use the internet provided by my network but i cant make a call or text.. people cant also reach my number. I sent this already to samsung service ctr and they changed the board but its still there whenever i access the flight mode..

Hi...the same, no solution so far. I am actually selling it on ebay for parts. I simply gave up.

Nexus 4 bad antenna??

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?
