[Q] Galaxy-s seems unlocked but mobile data doesn't work - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I've a Galaxy-S, that I bought in UK from a T-Mobile guy. The phone was working perfectly in uk , I was using it on T-Mobile and everything was just great.
I even updated to Froyo using the Kies regedit trick.
Now I'm back in Italy. I inserted my SIM and everything works well, except for 3and data. I can only use WIFI. For the rest I can make calls, send sms and so on. I don't know why this is happening. If it was locked the telephone wouldn't start with the Italian sim at all.
By the way, I tried to get the unlock code using ADB, unsuccesfully anyway.
What do you suggest?

I forgot to mention:
PDA: I9000XXJPO
PHONE: I9000XXJPP
CSC: I9000OXAJPO
build info: 2010.10

Go to settings, under mobile networks enter the APN settings for your carrier. You can probably find it one the web somewhere.

[Q] No mobile network connection

Hi Everyone,
Kies has updated my I9000 SGS to froyo from éclair and since then I haven’t had any access to either 2g/3G networks (except for a precious couple of hours). I bought the phone in the Netherlands and I am using it in Brazil, but this had not been an issue until the firmware update.
I have already hard-reset my SGS a few times , tried several froyo distributions and used several CSC with no avail.
Currently, my firmware is:
PDA: iI9000XXJPU
Phone: I9000XXJPU
CSC: I9000OXAJPU
Kernel:2.6.32.9 root sep-55 # 11
I’ve got signal (about -111dBm 1 asu), the phone has an imei, and it recognizes my SIM card, but as I said, it has no network connection.
After checking debug screen, I’ve also noticed the following info:
- Basic Information: No Service
- MM sate: NO_CELL
- CONN_STATE:Idle.
Anyone out there could help me out with this problem? I’ve really run out of ideas. Let me know if you people need more info on the current status of my SGS.
Cheers.
You probably need to enter the apn settings for your carrier
It has updated to Netherlands firmware modem and CSC they work in Brazil ??

I've tried several times, with different carriers (meaning different SIM cards). It hasn't worked.
Any other idea?

As I mentioned, the phone was working perfectly fine under Eclair. Moreover, oddly enought, my wife's, who owns a UK orange SCS, is working perfectly over here under froyo.
I am afraid of bricking my SGS by trying my wife's SGS firmaware on mine, since is Orange specific. Does anyone see any problem with that?
Probably Ok with orange . But is their not a Brazil thread on here that may have more clues .

[Q] Network Problems, donation for solution.

Majorly stressing! My girlfriend just got a N1 used from amazon.
Will not connect to a mobile network, our first attempt was orange, which prompted us to install updates and we installed them (before we installed we tested calls, they didn't work)
Then when updated to 2.3 I tried my giff gaff sim, this will not work, and I have tried the giffgaffAPN app from the market (DL'd through wifi)
What doesn't work - mobile data 2G/3G
What does/has worked - Wifi and the updates downloaded without being connected to wifi! but nothing else will work!
Any help? I donate via paypal!
We are in the UK, it is possible that it could be a foreign locked version of the phone (i heard all uk Vodafone versions are unlocked). Is there a way I could test for this?
My guess you have a carrier modded version so can you do me a favor go to settings -> about phone -> build number tell me what it says. It should say either GRI40 or GRJ22 (that is if your on gingerbread, if your on froyo then it should be frf91, frg33, frg83 or frg83D) if it something that is any longueur than that then your on a carrier modded ROM so you need to use the passimg method to get back to stock (link in my sig).
it says grj22
I would give it a shot anyway because passimg solves allot of problems the only down side is that it wipes data.
are calls not working or is it just the 3g? If the former it could be a barred (stolen/lost) handset and no amount of flashing etc. will fix it.
data works, calls/texts dont!
Go to the phone dialer.

unlocked HTC Desire C no signal but Data working

Hi everyone,
I have a desire C which was originally on the 3 mobile network, I unlocked it successfully to work with other sim cards and was using it on Orange for a few months.
I have also rooted the phone following the original nameless thread & installed the nameless ROM onto it. This works fine with the ORIGINAL 3 mobile sim card but not with any other sim card. AlI get is no service showing. I cannot make or receive calls, however data works fine (with or without wifi).
I have tried the following:
turning airplane mode on and off, also usin the *#*#4636#*#* (or whatever it is!) thing to get to the test menu and turn off radio and back on again.
Wiping to factory reset
Re-installing the rom from the phones recovery "install zip from SDcard" menu, - also installed the revolution 5en5e rom
IMEI Shows the original IMEI from the phone
If I go to my available networks list it shows me the EE (orange) network, o2 Network, Vodafone network & 3 Mobile network, but no matter which one I select it says your sim card does not allow connection to this network.
I've also tried to change the way it connects from auto to manual and vice versa, but each time it says unable to connect to this network at this time, please try again later.
I just cannot get it to give me signal unless its on the orignal sim & i'm sure the signal is worse than the stock rom.
I'm assuming it's a radio issue?? only assuming as I would have though I would have the error of invalid sim/network locked etc, but I don't know enough about it really.
So currently the phone sits with the following installed:
Android Version:
4.0.3
HTC Sense Version:
4.0
Software number:
ReVoluTion 5en5e Edition v1.0
HTC SDK API Level:
4.2.1
HTC Extension Version:
HTCExtension_403_1_GA_9
Kernal Version:
3.0.16-g51cada9
[email protected] #1
PREEMPT
Baseband Version:
10.11.98.09P_1.06.98.13M2
Build number:
2.00.401.2CL128321 release-keys
Browser Version:
WebKit/534.30
I hope someone can help & if you need more information please let me know!
Kind Regards,
Lee
Try unlocking your SIM again, but while on the new Rom?
Make them boys go loco!
Hi,
I don't get the option to unlock the phone as it accepts the sim, just gives me no signal. Before I unlocked the phone it used to say something along the lines of sim card not accepted, you then had the option to put the codes in to release it from its carrier.
regards,
lee
I had the same problem with my SIM card. Phone is unlocked but one day I see that I don't have any network signal.
So I snoop around trying my friends' SIM cards on my phone and they work.
Went to the office nearby and told them what happened. They said its a malfunctioning SIM card and change it for free.
Now i didn't notice whether I have data traffic working but it resolved my signal problem. Hope this helps.
I've tried 3 different sims on organge and o2 and have the same issue
I've called three mobile (original carrier) and they advise that there is no barring or anything on my profile.
I think I will try to reflash to factory and try again.....I cant think of any other way.

Flashed boot.img & installed the "untouched__rom_v2.0eu_dcplx1" from this site and it does the same thing!
Does anyone know what else i can do?? or have a three mobile rom I can try?
Lee
Ok, managed to speak with three Tech support again, turns out my profile is not ok.
My phones imei has been blocked by........wait for it.........o2!!!!!
they are speaking with the fraud team and will hear back this week. How bizarre.
I don't understand how another network can block my imei from being on other networks apart from the original one? if it's blocked it's blocked surely....
ah well, will wait for the call back and post up with the outcome.
Lee
Spoke to three today who advise the phone is not blacklisted like they originally stated as they have spoken with O2.
They say there is nothing on my profile to block it and it should work.
I don't know where to go on this now.
Can anyone help please?

[Q] HELP - Phone cannot connect to any mobile network cyanogenmod 10.1

I bought the a samsung GT-I9000 off ebay, it was locked to vodafone and running standard OS.
Despite soft bricking it I did a factory restore, rooted and flashed it with cyanogenmod 10.1.
Everything is working, except I cannot to any mobile network. When I try to connect it says "cannot connect at this time, try again later" or it encountered "an error". It takes ages doing this as well.
The APN settings are all there and correct as I can compare them to my rooted HTC which works fine on the same ROM.
The IMEI number is given by *#06# and this is also given in the phone information. The same IMEI is on the back of the phone under the battery as well.
If I leave the phone on, it gives Orange (EE ) as the network but says emergency only i.e no service.
I rang Orange and they said there is no problem , which I suspected, as my HTC work fine. Orange also said there is no problem with the phone relating to IMEI - its not stolen.
Can anyone help please? Thanks in advance

Hi again
Two questions: is the phone unlocked now? Did you have the connection with this same SIM card by using previously flashed ROM?
If both answers "yes", your presently installed baseband is probably not compatible with the region where you live. Google after the regional codes (letters in your baseband version) and find the right one for your region. Here are all flashable baseband versions for the CyanogenMod:

I won't have internet next few days, but you may make it now alone.... good luck, mate

I upgraded to stable 10.1.3 last night, simply thinking what do I have to lose? and it worked for a bit then stopped.
Whats stranger is it started working when I got to work - it doesnt recognise EE which is the company who bought Orange/T-Mobile but it connects to Orange or T-Mobile and works as Orange......
It connected to providers last night but never for more than a few seconds and then stopped.
I have called and texted from it and all now seems fine!

The phone lost signal when I got home - ultimately solved it by flashing it with modem XXJVP and updated APN to those given for EE, not Orange.
All been stable now for 3 days :laugh:

[Q] i9305 Not registering to networks?

A friend of mine gave me a S3 to play with and said i can have it if i can get it to work.
Now he doesnt know the original network that it came on or what the original firmware version was.
Before i even tried to get a sim card to work i unlocked it using the hidden menu with sha256 etc.
Now when i put in a sim card it doesnt register to a network, I am in the UK and have tried Three, GiffGaff and T-mobile sims as they are what i have and none of the register to network.
I have a couple of bars signal and the phone says "emergency calls only".
The IEMI seems fine and I have backed up the NV data using QPST and EFS Professional
Device Details
GT-i9305
Android verison 4.3
Baseband Version - I9305XXUEML1
Kernal Version - 3.0.31-2051278
Build Number - JSS15J.I9305XXUEML9
What would be the next step to try?
Have you considered that it may be blacklisted...
I wouldnt have thought so, It worked before when he used to use it ages ago, hes had a few phones since.
He messed around with it quite a lot and has changed the firmware/modems and what have you so much he doesnt know what he has done with it so i presume that its just not set up right.
So anybody got any ideas?
Flash a UK stock rom read the network imei efs stickied posts and work your way through them .
Try your carrier's guide of setting up the correct vpn.
