Did you flash it back to stock with the one click Odin or did you Flash Jf6 manually?
Try the one click Odin ROM.

Yeah, try flashing back to stock with Odin One-click.
Also, is your SIM card in correctly? I know, I know, but I have seen that happen, it's worth checking out.

If you tried flashing the latest I9000 froyo build try and contact Zilch. He had the same issue. But he figured it out

[Q] How to Fix? Galaxy S "Emergancy Calls Only" After Odin Flash

Hi,
I have a samsung Galaxy S, and it was horribly branded, so i tried wiping the software, 1st time I tried it, I got no signal at all (don't know why?!), forgot what software it was because its been deleted.
Since then, in an attempt to fix it I flashed I9000XWJS3 with Odin.
Now it shows I have signal but "Emergency Calls Only" is shown where the network operator should be. Why is this?
This is a used phone that i bought from ebay, can't remember wether I got signal on the branded OS. Could it be a faulty sim tray or a fault with the phone? Or it is software?
Any ideas on how to fix? Please Note: I am a UK resident, My network is o2.
any other details needed let me know.
ALSO: If I go into network settings and select o2 as the network, it tries to connect but just ends up saying "Unable to connect. Try later"
Does it show signal as well? What I mean is do you have full.signal and it still shows the tab emergency calls only?

Yes, phone still shows it has signal, just emergancy calls only
Ok. Under settings what is the baseband version? I had this issue when I was on darkys rom and the only way to fix it was a reboot. But that would happen several times a.day.
Recently I have changed to docs rom and cooked fairly stock Tom and instead of jpy modem I used jpe and haven't encountered.the problem since.
Also you.might want to clean the sim card contacts.

[Q] No SIM card in phone

OK guys... I usually lurk, but find myself now needing help.
In an attempt to help my friend, I was going to root his phone and install a custom ROM. The phone is a 1010 build and I forgot to remove the SIM when performing one-click-root.
Now the phone will not recognize the SIM card. I don't think the SIM is bad because it won't recognize mine either and my card works in my phone.
I followed the instructions for 1010 builds back to JH2 and the SIM is still not recognized. The phone came with JH7 installed, but I figured that the SIM would be recognized after booting into JH2.
Can anyone offer assistance?
Thanks.
EDIT: His SIM works in my phone. Just thought you might ask.
Bump please

I had this happen in my old Tilt lol. Try backing up the sim from your phone and if not, you have to get a new sim.

The SIM card still works... just not in this phone. It works in my captivate. I think I am in trouble here. <slaps self> That's what I get for rooting company phones. :\
If anyone knows something that I can try to get this phone to recognize the SIM... please chime in. Right now I am back to JH7 rooted.
verify that you have the right modem in it and check the APN settings
Model Number: SAMSUNG-SGH-I897
Firmware version: 2.1-update1
Baseband version: I897UCJH7
Kernel version: 2.6.29 [email protected] #2
How do I check the APN settings?
Sorry... can't verify APN settings if SIM is not detected. Looks like I'm hosed. Thanks for the replies.
APN shouldn't affect recognizing the SIM. Are other SIMs working with this phone? You may want to try either a master clear, or downloading the ODIN version of 2.2 stock to see whether they will recognize SIMs before returning the phone.
Try a rom! Or kb1 or ji6 try flashing like everything to it, hopefully that'll do something also go to settings>privacy>factory data reset and make sue you backup first
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Yes i know. My sim card still worked in my captivate just not my tilt, all you need to do is go to at&t and tell them your sim card isnt working. They should be able to transfer your contact and get you a new one. But this just a last resort, try these guys suggestions

You can get apn settings by pitying your friends sim in your phone
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
even new apn settings wont load if its not detecting the old sim. i ran into this but didnt fix it. got replaced. different situation....
i had this after a noobish bad flash where i odin'd to phone instead of pda.
i lied my ass off and got the phone replaced that night, as i NEEDED the phone THAT NIGHT no time to play and fix myself. that was by bad! now i flash at night only when i wont need my phone for hours.
you dont need to take out your sim to root. i never have. i use oneclickroot 1.7.
so im not sure what you did to screw it up.
but if someone elses SIM works in your phone then that means the phone is fine. AND if your SIM doesnt work then it means your SIM doesnt work!

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S I9000 No Service!

Hope Someone can help.
I had a problem with my Samsung galaxy s i9000 and i was told to flash it using Odin, i downloaded the files from sam firmware and put android 2.3 onto it, when it had completed the phone will not get a service, everything else works fine and it reads the sim card and the contacts etc it just wont connect to network?
Can anyone help?
Thanks
Josh
Does it work wireless ?
Does it get phone network, or both data and phone services are unavailable ?
Do you have in wireless and network settings under mobile network the "use data packet" switched on ??
Did you try with a sim from another operator just to see if it's a matter of specific operator settings ?
I got italian language, maybe settings name are a bit different from the ones i mentioned, but that's the concept.
Bye

Check if your IMEI is correct, you find it under settings, about, status.
Your correct IMEI is on a sicker under the battery.
Edit: to late ; )

nope when i try and make a phone call or send a text it says "mobile network not available"
mmmm....
are you sure you downloaded the correct rom ? I mean there are different roms for different countries.
While you just reflashed, why dont you go back to original stock rom or to a stable one (one i remember is JPY_JPY_JPY) just to see if everything works fine ?
Anyway....which was the problem you had that required you to flash with odin ??
Yeah you prolly downloaded a rom fir another region if your imei is in tact and ya vant even make calls. If you can make calls and just cant use data then the rom doesnt have your apn settings and you will have to add them manually.

Have you bought it used with this problem?
If so there is a chance that the IMEI is reported stolen and blocked at the service provider.

That is the wrong one for UK. Use XXJVK instead and you will be fixed.

Factory reset, flash a different rom, factory reset. Not all flashes are totally successful, this should help

Try to test another sim-card.
It could be that easy, even if it seems to work a bit.

[Q] way to check the tab locked/unlocked

Hi,
I have unlocked the att tab long time ago and it was working fine. Then since few days i am messing around with different roms and modems and now my sim is not recognized. Does it means i have locked the device to att because of lot of flashing. Can someone please tell how to check if the att tab is still unlocked or locked. Maybe sim is not working because of wrong rom or modem. Sim working fine in my iphone. I was on rotohammer rom when tab worked like phone then flashed 2.3.3 and lost phone capability. Still has phone icon on the tab. Please need fix.
Thanks,
Hi Tabing.
It is me again.
Are you back on Roto rom now? or in one of the GB rom?
It seems only HyperDroid Androidmeda has the remark by the dev that it has roto unlock commands built in. With that, I assume unlocking is not a permanent thing?
well in my case I went to setting than network then mobile network and changed it to gsm and my cim has been recognized again by the system
just to let you know I was on froyo and I upgraded my tab to 2.3.3
good luck

[Q] i9000 Emergency Calls Only

Ok,
Before I get flamed... I've read 30 or posts about this.... both here and other forums, so here we go:-
It's a i9000 from Orange UK. I paid my £20 and got an unlock code off the internet, and it's stopped complaining about the O2 Sim in it now, but all I get is 'Emergency Calls Only'
I've tried stock roms, ezbase recovery, CM9 and CM10 and no matter what, I get 'Emergency Calls Only'
I checked:-
SIM connections are clean (and SIM in the right way round!)
IMEI matches the one on the phone.
Settings reports:-
GT-i9000
Android 4.2.2
Baseband I9000XXJVT
Kernel 3.0.78.g69c9cbc
Works fine if you stick in an Orange SIM :'(
Ready to bin it and buy a cheap Android from Tesco....
Go back to stock to test it. If it still doesnt work then you have been ripped off
