Hi all,
I need help regarding connection problem of my I9300.
I updated my SGSIII through kies from LE8 to LH1 ( Using Firmware initialization, as Kies was giving message that it cannot update this phone)
But after update i have no network connection at all. There aren't any insert sim warnings anywhere, i just have a circle with a diagonal line through it in the notification bar where the signal bars usually sit.
If i hold the power button to bring up the shut down/flight mode menu,I can turn on flight mode but after getting in flight mode this option is diasabled. And i cannot turn off flight mode from power menu.
I can disable it from settings, but that option also disables and only enables if i exit from that menu and enter again.
I have re installed .LE8 via Odin but it is same.
My phone is unlocked and i can see carrier name in status bar.
Also it does not search any available networks from menu.
Any one knows what is wrong
Verify your imei, *#06#

Are modem and CSC correct for your area .
Have you set up the network manually is the network registered in the APN list .
Have you tried a factory reset after backing up all data ??
But this reads more like a failed flash .

My signals were fine with OXA LE8. I upgarded to LG8.
Now i have reflashed same firmware but it did bot work.
MY APN is automatically configured from sim,
But when i got to network operators --> Search networks, Searching flashes for a second and goes off.
When i choose Network operators --> Select automatically it says registered to network immediately
Also power menu keeps telling that flight mode is ON even if i turn it off from setting. and this option in power menu is also disabled unless i reboot. After switching to Flight mode first time from menu it is disabled.
I did factory reset but it did not help
If it is a failed flash, what should i do?
I have noticed one more thing,
If i remove sim card, I get no sim card symbol. But i get full signal bars on status bar.
In settings--> Status it shows signal strength of 71 dbm 21 asu
Also without sim card the flightmode can be enabled or disabled normally
with flight mode disabled the signal strength is 70-80 dbm, with flight mode enabled signals go to 111 dbm
I have the same error!
Exacly equal on everything you said!
Only diference is, my IMEI was changed by 004999xxxxxx.
And I don't know why!
I've done all facilities to follow many tutorials here, but nothing worked.
I have just noticed that in status menu, serial number is 00000000000.
Is it normal or i have some corruption in EFS folder.

I think you can resolve your issue by restoring efs data
I have checked my efs folder.
following two files are modified at the time when i installed the LH1 firmware.
1- nv_data.bin
2- nv_data.bin,md5
allother files are old.
I think it has some problem. I have .bak files of both files.
How can i restore them.
Do you have EFS backup? If yes, did you try to restore it?

My friend had the same problem when he tried to initiate the firmware via Kies (as it was not his region update, which we believe is the cause of the problem)
He solved it by downloading the latest official firmware of his region using checkfus-PC version after wiping all data and cache and it worked well bringing his device back to the latest official firmware and reseting modem/csc
For Egypt, I believe the latest official firmware is BLFB. Download PC version of check fus and use it to verify :good:

I dont have a Tuto for you..but once you open Checkfus..the steps are quite easy..enter your model number..your region and download the firmware..similarly you can do the same on Sammobile.com...you will need to register first...once you have the zip file..unzip it to find the .tar file..take your phone into download mode.connect to pc with odin open...choose the .tar file as pda uncheck re-partition if it is checked...and flash..

Am i supposed to download the firware for my country and reflash it.
My phone orignal firmware is BTU ( UK ) according to Kies when i use Kies firmware initiaization, but i am in PAK.
Is this the cause of problem
My CSC when it checked before upgrading was LE8 (XXX)
when using *#197328640# (Service Mode)
version info---> sw version-->read csc code it says does not support
read all sw versio ---> no thing against csc code
read imei ---> not supported
But*#06# returns imei
*#1234# returns all information
I am confused. is it normal
Is there a way to check the orignal CSC as i might have some csc conflict that is not allowing me to use sim card
I have checked my nv_data.bin
I found that it has ÿÿÿÿÿI9300XXLE8............. written in it. is it ok for UK (BTU) firmware.
But Odin does not show my CSC it says that i have LE8 ( XXX ).
Using *2767*4387264636#. code to check product number is also not working in my phone. It does nothing.
In service menu when i check sellout sms-->get scm info
1- sellout sms : off
Pcode : not active
Mode : prod
Any progress?
After flashing official LE8 and fox hound LH4, i think it is not rom related issue.
Some people think that it may be CSC or product code problem, But in my SGS2 i flashed every rom with many different CSC and regions but i never had this issue.
I am currently working on EFS folder because all my symptoms are same as if EFS folder is corrupt, but i just want to be sure because i can see imei, mac addresses and SW info.

Hi I have recently rooted and unlocked my S2. It recognises any sim put into it but if i try to make a call i get 'not registered on network' error. Apart from this the phone is in fully working order. I have set up manually the APN and recognises the sim but still get error.
Any help much appreciated.
Check your IMEI in settings/about phone/status. If it begins with '0044...' (whatever you do, do not post your actual IMEI number here !) you've found the source of your problem.
If your IMEI is OK, two possibilities that spring to mind are the phone is IMEI blocked (check with your carrier) or your carrier hasn't set something up properly at their end (again, check with them).
Hi, thanks for the reply. My IMEI no starts 3533 should this be ok? I also have signal on my phone but in settings says disconnected. I have also tried other sims but have same issue. Do you think i should contact the network or samsung direct or is there anything i can try?
Thanks again

How exactly did you root your phone? Did you flash a new kernel only? Or also a new rom?
Because new roms also tend to flash a new modem in to the phone. Although this is not common, but a modem can change the way the phone talks to the cellphone carrier. Check in your "about" sections under settings whats your "baseband". Note that you can flash a new modem independently from the rom and kernel

OK this makes sense I did flash a new ROM the baseband number is I9100XXLPQ. Does it matter what modem I use and should this match the baseband?
I am having the exact same problem with 2 different carriers, it only shows a 3rd carrier in dominican republic which is claro and i have not been able to test it with a claro sim card, how did you guys resolve the problem.?
Hi
I bought this S3 in Lituania as a "No Signal" phone hoping that it would work in SPAIN.
I have switched it on today, trying with my own sim and after enter the PIN I see "Only emergency calls". I have uptaded it to the 4.1.2 JB but same result.
Checking the locked status I see all OFF. I rooted and installed the Voodoo Unlocked and same result "Unlocked phone" but no network.
The IMEI is the same in the phone than in the back so It doesn´t look like a IMEI issue...
I applied the ariza_v04.zip patch with same result...
I can see the SIM contacts and the phone recognize my SIM number, I mean in settings I can see my phone number...
More info, when I try to select manualy my network, it doesn´t find any!
Could you please help??
Thanks thanks so much!
I have just flashed a new Modem with same result

Why is it sold as a no signal phone ???? Hardware i would guess .

Download a stock rom say the new 4.1.2 then go into recover make all wipes. After you have done, while in recovery move it down to chose from sd and don't click anything. Now hold Power + Volume down + Home all at the same time till you go into download mode connect your phone and flash stock unrooted firmware on your phone..
When finished start the phone if there is no signal then download CF Root which Chainfire made and root your phone and download GetRil from android market and see if your modem is matching it will tell you your recommended modem find and download it. Then match the ril if that doesn't work sorry mate you might have a blocked IMEI or a bad phone..
Try with another SIM.

May be the antenna has any problem?
Any other ideas?
IF you have emergency calls available - that would mean the phone has some network in range. Therefore, I doubt if this is antenna issue.
Thread moved to Q & A section, post in the relevant section next time.
Have you tried different SIM cards?
Do emergency calls work? If so your number is blocked. It may be a stolen phone.

Well... news!
I went to the Samsung SAT and... the phone has NO ANTENNA! But not only this, it hasn´t the antenna plug!!
So I guess that if I want to fix it I should:
1- Solder any antenna or any antenna plug and then connect an antenna (too dificult I think...).
2- Find this silicon chip replacement (It´s where the usb dock and the camera conects to). But, where?! I tried but I don´t find it...
Any other idea?
Thanks!!
Can anyone help? Thanks!!

Yes I went and they said that they only can change the whole motherboard as the phone is defective.
The phone is not brand new so they cannot change it for a new one...
I have no idea what to do...

Well after installing a rom and after i inserted the sim pin it poped up this http://prntscr.com/yl5bv and i thought to insert the pin again and i did that few times also tried to enter 12345 etc... and after that i have no network, i restored the backup but didnt helped ,
itried almost everything i relocked the bootloader-unlocked it again, tried different roms and kernels, flashed with seus and nothing helped, as i said only at that rom(touchwiz rom based on fxp 210) it pops up the window to enter the sim network unlock pin ,
on any other rom doesnt, the signal is full and when i try to call it says no network registered
i tried also other sim cards and they either dont work
So does someone knows what to solve this issue or i must go to service center, and my phone is sony tipo st21is
You will get the best help if you visit your nearest service center. I read your post but cant figure out where the problem lies. Sorry . I hope your problem will be resolved by the experts there. All the best bro..
what the Baseband version in the about phone column . Itz dude to wrong baseband. check
Are you still receiving signal? Other than the comments above, you might also want to check the IMEI. Blocked IMEI could also be the reason.

bro i also have this full signal but no service problem it is due to IMEI no. check your Phone IMEI and match it with your phone IMEI on the back behind the battery (Or go to settings -> system -> Device Information -> Identity and IMEI is listed at the bottom.)

I recently rooted my i527 then unlocked it for use on T-Mobile, And it was working just fine, Getting Signal and EDGE, So earlier this morning I took out my sim card and rebooted the phone a few times, Changing the APN from epc.tmobile.com to fast.tmobile.com thinking that was going to get me from going from EDGE to 4G or LTE... Yeah Right! Little did I know, It requires a lot more than just changing the APN.. But thats beside the point.
Anyway, While I was taking my sim out and rebooting, After once or twice of doing this, The phone would not come up with T-Mobile signal AT ALL. After a while of just blankness it would pick up What Im guessing is WCDMA signal or something, But not T-Mobile Active signal like it was doing just fine before. So after 20 or so reboots (thinking that was the problem), And looking around, I noticed that the phone is not issuing a IMEI number. Not in settings, and not *#06# either. The IMEI number has been lost. When I go to settings to view it in About Device it just says "Unknown". I'm assuming this is my problem, Once I get the phones IMEI number back, It will pick up T-Mobile signal again.
At the beginning of this, I was simply trying to get high speed data on the device.. Now I can't even make and receive phone calls. :crying: Any help on how to recover the IMEI would be great, and highly appreciated.
Thanks

If you still have the unlock code try reseting the phone using kies... then see if your imei comes back..
Used ODIN to install correct ROM. This might help.
Get your officla ROM from http://www.sammobile.com/

SamMobile still doesn't have AT&T sgh-i527 firmware. Use kies to recover your phone or odin with the posted firmware on this forum. Kies would be the safest.
