[Q] Question about service drops? - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey everyone im not sure if this is covered in another topic or forum but i recently started flashing roms on my Cappy(recently did assonance 5.2 and LOVE IT!) but right after i flashed this newest one i put i also got a hold of a tmobile sim card to go ahead and unlock my phone...now since ive done this at least 3-4 times a day i get the message "sim card removed. please reboot phone" or something like that...is anyone else having this problem and if so plz tell me how you fixed it or if this is in another forum post a link. Im kinda thinking i may just need a new sim card....

Could be a bad ROM flash. Backup apps and data, wipe and re-flash.

Do you use airplane mode a lot? I know some modems have an issue coming out of airplane and having SIM problems. Try flashing another modem. JK4 is known to be one of the more stable ones. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=867309
Just flash the zip from CWM Recovery. (NOTE: These are for I9000 based roms like Assonance or Serendipity.)

Ok thats what i was thinking it could have been that but wasnt sure. Do you think re flashing my modem rom will fix it or will i need to reflash the whole rom? I have only tried 3 different modem roms and so far i like the tl3 since it has hsupa enabled...have you used jk4 alot? and how did it work for you?

Just to give you guys an update...i reflashed jk4 with CWM and ive only had the error message show up ONCE! So thanks for the help on that fellas. While im at it would you guys recommend any tweaks or anything to go with jk4 or assonance?

[Q] Galaxy S, sim card doesn't work after flashing rom

Hi everybody,
yesterday I flashed my phone with the original rom it was shipped and now the sim card does not work. The phone was network locked and I'm afraid that now it does not recognize any rom because of this.
I tried to do the procedure of simlock by rooting the phone but no codes appear after I launch sgux in the file.
Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

it could well be that your sim is dead if you left it in the phone while flashing. happened to me and it was quite weird, i could make and receive calls and messages, but 3g was dead. the guys at the 3 shop were quite amused as they have not seen anything like it before. anyway, try the sim in another phone, see if that works. ultimately flash to an unbranded rom and try a different sim on your phone.
Hi... I need some help please...
im a noob, and i have the same problem...

please argor, if you found how to solve this, contact me...
You say you have the original shipped rom .
If thats the case just flash that back if it truly is the original shipped rom .
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Darky rom problems as usual ask the chief suspect .Its probable you did not flash correct CSC file for your network .

hi, thanks for the reply.
no, i just wanted to explain what model and things had my phone before i flashed it...
i didnt have any original rom, and, i just tried put in sim from other provider and does not recognise either... i am so afraid that it could be a hardware problem...

Can't use a Phone as a Phone

So I flashed my Captivate with Serpendity or whatever, and my sim card didn't work. I flashed cognition, and I even flashed stock. I tried master clear and everything.
My sim still isnt working.
Im not just understanding whats going on. I hope its the sim card, but it was working before I did this, and it wasnt in the whole time.
I followed the directions and and search the forums, and Im not getting any help as to why this might have occured.
Please, whats the use of a phone if I can't communicate with people.
I would really appreciate it.
what you should have done, instead of flashing around after serendipity, is:
1. unplug phone from computer
2. reboot
and if it still doesn't work, post on the serendipity thread.
hope that helps, and keep me updated.

When the phone is powered on, go to Settings, About Phone. Do you see a kernel version listed, are there any blanks? Also, try going to your dialer and dial *#1234# After you press the last # sign it should take you to an info menu. See if you have any blank areas.
I've had this happen in the past and for some reason I had a bad kernel or modem flash. Either way my sim wasn't seen.
My fix was to go to the samfirmware.com site and picked up a stock ROM like JF6. These version use Odin but they are not 1-click. So you download the ROM, 512 Pit, and regular Odin. When you unpack the ROM you will have the CSC, Modem, and Phone files. Try flashing that way. Setup is the same as one-click, but in odin you actually have to specify the files you are flashing.
I want back to stock. That didnt help. But thanks. At&t rushed delivered me a new Sim card in one day. No worries. But I flashed Serendipity or whatever to have 2.2 and now I have 2.2 and a working sim card.
Yes !
I help this don't happen again.
Not Recieving text
So after enjoying having service again. Now Im not receiving or sending texts. I can make and receive phone calls. This whole things is really annoying, and I doubt I'm going to flash again.
Im on serendipity. 3.5 or something.
Please help.

Have you checked our APN ?? You seem to have flashed alot lately so my guess is your final rom as not installed your provider APN and you must add them manually.
It wasn't the Rom fault. Somehow and I dont know how, messaging was removed from my Att service plan.
But while I got some attention. Serendipity 4.1 just came out, is it safe to stay on 3.5 because Im scared of flashing and breaking something again.

No phone signal

Hey everyone i have had massive problems with the IMEI on my i9000 finally managed to flash back to stock ROM but im still getting no signal. The IMEI is fine and i have a backup of the efs folder saved. What files do i need in this folder as i will delete all of the contents then start again.
Thanks
If your still getting no signal but are not getting "No Service" then either the modem you flashed in the stock ROM is utter pants for specific handset so trying flashing a different modem or a different ROM altogether :/
But if a different modem or ROM doesn't fix it then you have a antenna problem... sorry bud
Hey mate,
Cheers for the reply. I will try a new ROM can you recommend any small ROM's that will work on my device? I don't know a great deal abour ROM's and flashing in general tbh.
I need to finish my guides badly! Then I'd just be able to point you towards them :/
But since their not... cause I've been lazy, please head over to SamMobile/ and create an account if you haven't already done and download the correct firmware for you i9000.
Getting the right firmware is difficult, it's even more difficult since I'm guessing you don't know the PDA build from what the phone was running originally... for example by phone when I got it was running I9000BVJV7 which is actually Android 2.3.3 for the UK and sim locked to Orange.
When you take into account that the Android version, the country and the carrier have an effect on the specific firmwares for two (on the face) identical phones you can begin to see how many millions of different firmwares there are out there just for one phone...
So just try your best and read all the helpful info on SamMobile. If you get really really stuck or if something nasty happens to the phone while flashing either come back to this thread or PM me and I will talk you through a recovery kit that will hopefully restore the phone to a stock ROM (but not official stock ROM).
Since you're new to flashing please be reminded flashing can completely kill a phone to the point of no return, having said that I must have flashed a million times in both ClockworkMod and Odin but that doesn't mean death can't happen at any time.
Thanks mate i really am grateful for the help. I will give that a go and see what i can find.
Downloaded all of the vodaphone rom's and all of the orange roms. The device was used on vodaphone and im still getting the same error :/ any more ideas?

it sounds like the efs/imei directory is wiped or corrupted take a look at this thread, might be able to help http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1611796Its for the galaxy s2 but file directories are the same.
have they tried to update the phone back to stock firmware by using samsung kies? that may also work.

weird problem + need some help

I don't know if any one of you have encountered this before but here's what happened
I installed a new rom and my network lock came back
so I installed galaxys_unlock + busy box to unlock my phone again.
the phone gets unlocked and signal does seemingly work.
now here's the problem.
my sim card + plan can go on internet. but for some reason when I try to go on the internet it doesn't work.
I clicked on mobile network on my phone and what shows up was this message of "insert SIM card to access network service"
which really confuses me because I can actually make phone calls.
If anyone has any solutions please let me know. I'll be more than happy to try it.
Is it even normal for my n7000 to lag so much and have so many problems? I feel like I spend more time trying to fix it than actually enjoying it.
1 Try restock to see if problem from rom side or hardware
2 Reinstall new rom, make sure file downloaded match md5 (might be corrupt dl) and follow instructions
3 Update latest proven stable kernel for that rom
4 If else fail try diff rom or restock
Good luck

What does restocking mean???
Restock = basically back to original official stock firmware of the rom (non moded ics/jb based).
Also good idea to state your rom that you use, carrier etc, hopefully other user of that same rom can guide you?
I think you need to put the settings for internet access back in
