I apologize if this comes across noobish, but I'm having service issues and I haven't found a solution in any other threads.
Prior to my issue, I was on stock FOG6. After following the root method provided by @ShinySide, all was good in the world. A few weeks later I decided to install Exodus (exodus-5.1-20151231-NIGHTLY-klte). This is where my problem began.
Service began to go in and out. It was most noticeable when I would disconnect from wifi, but for the most part, it wasn't much of a bother. It slowly began to get worse and after rebooting, toggling airplane mode, checking APN settings, checking baseband version, etc, all came up empty handed. Occasionally service would reappear, but there was no noticeable cause.
I then decided to factory reset and I am now running stock 5.1.1 on FOL1 (flashed via Odin 3.10.7). I have attempted to flash modem and bootloader separately, as well as flash FOL1 as a whole, but to no avail.
Am I missing something here? There may have been a step I forgot to perform but everything has worked flawlessly aside from this one issue (and wifi calling, but who cares).
Unfortunately, I'm unable to share any screenshots at the moment since I'm a new member. These are the relevant details of my device as of this posting:
Android: 5.1.1
Baseband: G900TUVS1FOL1
Kernel: 3.4.0-5406928
Build: LMY47X.G900TUVS1FOL1
I tried to keep this post short and to the point so I apologize if there is any info I left out.
Any and all suggestions are greatly appreciated!!!

Hi,
I recently acquired this galaxy S after my HD2 stopped functioning. When I got it, it had Cynaogenmod on it; however, I wanted MIUI. So, I reverted the phone to stock configurations and loaded MIUI on there.
I used the methods posted in this thread and loaded the revamped SS-6 MIUI rom (I tried all the way up to SS-8). I later found that this was an outdated method and used the suggestions made by the rom creator. Both times I loaded the OS successfully. Unfortunately, the data wasn't working. It showed that I was connected and had full bars with 3G or H connection... but all apps that required data still failed to connect.
I always got a message saying "Data connectivity problem: Server failed to communicate. Please try again later." So, I reverted the phone back to stock JFD using ODIN. I still have the data issue -- nothing connects. The bars are still full and the 3G symbol is still there... it just won't work.
The phone info is:
Model Number: SGH-T959
Firmware Version: 2.1-update 1
Baseband Version: T959UVJFD
Kernel Version: 2.6.29
Build Number: ECLAIR
The "Mobile Network Type" reads "HSDPA" and the "Mobile Network State" reads "connected".
Just to clarify, I can still text and call. I just have no data. Wifi works. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated; I'm completely stumped here. Thanks!
You saw the answer in the other thread, right?
Nope, I've been looking for an answer. Is there a thread that has a solution?
The one titled: "Miui completely ignores Data settings". It's a problem with the latest MIUI.
Check out the second post in the GingerZen thread. Follow the steps and ODIN using Eugene's Froyo That Does Not Brick. It should give you a fresh start. As a bonus, it re-roots your phone in the process. Note: only check re-partition for the second flash.
Awesome! Thanks, I'll try it. So, I just use the PIT file that comes with vibrant AIO?
You could grab the one from s15274n's "Noob Guide" too.
Then save all 3 files on your desktop for the next time you have to ODIN.

Your APN settings are screwed up. You'll need to reset your APN settings. Do not go flashing random software to fix your APN settings.
Hey, thanks for the suggestion. I followed the steps, but I'm still experiencing the data failure. :-\
I expected that to restore all settings. Google the correct APN settings as suggested. Hope that's it.
(But keep the EFTDNB files handy. They aren't exactly random and will usually get you out of a bind.)
I'm pretty sure I have the correct APN settings. At least, they seem to match what everyone else has posted. I noticed that the arrows around the data symbol (3G or H) only light up on the left side. This to me seems to show that I'm sending data; I'm just not receiving it.
Edit: Solution Found! It was on T-Mobile's end. Apparently, the data package from my HD2 was not compatible with this device. So, they set me up with the "Android equivalent" and "presto!", it works. Thanks for all the assistance!
Hello people, I have a rather peculiar issue with my SII
I have had this issue for some time now and really doesnt bother me that much, its just annoying. And its just now that I have bothered writing a post about it.
If Ive run out of battery, I plug my phone into the charger, turn it on while its charging, I get no service, not prompted to input PIN and get the Uknown IMEI\baseband version. But if I let it charge a couple of minutes, unplug the charger and turn it on, everything works fine. Whats going on here?
I think this problem occured after installing one of bmarko's MIUI roms. I have since full wiped and restored stock rom. Upgraded two new official samsung roms as they have been released, currently running XWKI8 unrooted completely stock and the issue still persist.
I have searched around and there are similar cases out there but not really any clear solutions. Theres even a post over at cyanogenmods forum site, but no replies.
As said earlier its not really a big issue for me, not expecting a immediate solution but I would really like to understand the problem if someone has the information since I dont have the technical competence to understand it myself. I obviously havent corrupted or lost anything in my efs folder since its working without the charger, or? Could there be remains of a bug from another rom still in the system causing this?
Any replies would be appreciated, thanks.
Same Problem
Hey FlipTrick,
I got exactly the same problem. Dont remember how it happened exactly, but do remember I didn't do anything exotic. Can't display my IMEI, unknown baseband version and no prompt for my PIN.
I Tried several things:
- Reflashed the advised codeworx kernel using odin.
- ReInstalled CM 7.1 and tried nightly version.
- Reflashed different RADIO ROMS from XDA (goo.gl/TjoaM)
Nothing worked. Does anyone know what the problem might be? Or know what I could try next?
Greetings,
Xianduras
I had this problem once when I used a jig to reset the flash counter. Given the modem (and the IMEI) wasn't showing up in the phone details, I reflashed the modem which fixed it.
Occasionally after a reboot my modem/IMEI details take around 20-30 seconds to appear, but they've never not turned up/left me without service apart from that one occasion.
problem gone?!
Problem seems to be gone, noticed it after flashing Hydrog3n rom. Cant say if thats the solution though, havent tested it for awhile and i've flashed alot of roms
Hi, I'm having a curious problem with my S3 and I've been unable to solve it. I watched the "noob" video and tried searching these forums as well as a google search with various combinations of the wording for my problem. Nothing matching my issue turned up, I hope I didn't miss anything.
I recently bought a S3 second hand (yes, i know, i should have known better). It was rooted and running some kind of custom ROM when I first turned it on, but I was willing to deal with it until I double checked the procedure for getting it back to stock and starting again myself (nothing against the original rooting and flashing, just like to know exactly what I'm running).
When I purchased the phone I obviously checked that all of the main things worked - calling, texts, mobile data, wi-fi etc. I get home and connect to my home wi-fi and start checking things out and setting stuff up. The phone randomly rebooted. I carry on after the reboot and about 10 mins later, another restart.
To cut a long story short, there is something wrong with the wi-fi. If I turn off wi-fi in the settings menu and reboot, everything works great. No crashes, no reboots. If however I enable the wi-fi about 50% of the time it will crash while wi-fi is activating. The other 50% of the time, it will crash as it goes into the screen lock (either via timeout or pressing the button).
I've re-flashed to it's stock version of Android (using the 'Samsung GS3 Toolkit and Odin), same problem. Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks in advance
You can try updating the modem and RIL to the right version for your country, search in general forum. If it still reboots then try with another wifi source - I've seen some routers cause problems on client machines.
If you do a factory reset when you flash the modem, plus you have the latest stock ROM on board, then any remaining problems are probably hardware.
Test it fully after the factory reset, before you add any apps etc.

After much experimentation and flashing of various files to my phone I have further narrowed the problem. I've still not solved it, but getting closer I feel.
After a clean ROM flash it works like a charm regardless of how much i use the wifi etc. It's only after the first reboot that the trouble starts. It will begin randomly restarting. If I perform a factory reset from recovery mode, it works again, but starts resetting again after a reboot.
Any ideas?
Hello xda!
Long story short I updated my phone and all went well. About a day or two later, my phone randomly disconnected from wifi, and will now no longer show any wifi connections after scanning. I have tried wiping and reinstalling from the recovery. I can't download the exact version of this ROM I was on because the version doesn't exist for download anymore. I, however, could not see how the ROM could be the problem, since wifi was just functioning after the first install. Is there an area I am missing that is not getting reset? It COULD be efc's, but I have my IMEI number listed.
I have the LG Optimous L9 P769 and this is the ROM. As you can tell, our forum isn't exactly a very busy or active forum.
P.S. I was on a v2.x and went to v3.4
Anything that could help, please feel free to comment or ask anything needed!

Seems like it might be kernel related, perhaps... Which variant (carrier) P769 do you have?
I recently am battling this wireless issue. Here's the timeline of what I did:
Rooted Samsung S3 LTE (aka i9305) with old bootloader 4.1.2. Firmware was XXBMD5. Wifi was perfect.
Flashed Agni kernel. (At this point, I wasnt paying attention if wifi was good as I was using mostly data.)
Flashed AMCHA v9 KitKat ROM. Updated the firmware to XXUFOI1 but still with old bootloader. (At this point, I did notice that wifi was spotty and was dropping more frequently.)
So now I notice that when I am near the router ie full wifi range, I get connected. No problem whatsoever, but if I move further like 3 meters, it drops, and I get "Authentication Error Occurred". Once dropped, if I try to reconnect, it would not get connected or prompt incorrect password.
I searched online and found its common among Samsung users. I have tried the steps as outlined in a thread.
1) Flashed stock rom with root.
2) Full wipe and factory reset.
3) disable power saving mode via *#0011#.
Still no joy. So I have saved a log. Basically, I started the log capture when I turned on the wifi within 2 meter range to the router and then walk away from the router and it got disconnected and then I walked back again. So I hope wireless experts can tell me whats going on with the attached log.
What I have not done:
Flash stock JB ROM via Odin. (Users have reported that it doesnt help so I did not try. as yet.)
Take apart the phone to check for loose screw in wifi module.
Thanks in advance.
