[Q] Random no service on i9000 roms

Hey all, since I've started using Axura and Assonance I've have random total service drops that stick until a reboot. I've flashed both jpp and jpm modems and get the same eventual result. Also, in the network control section of the service menu I've tried to use only 1900 bands then only 850 bands--still same crap. Anyone have any ideas??? Thanks!

I had some bad service/no service issues at first. Try a master clear, stock reinstall of perception. It has the hspa modem. Works great and solved all my problems!

hey jd, thanks for the reply. yeah i flashed stock and master cleared last night but still no dice. weird stuff man...

I've had the same issues. I found that going into service mode and changing network control to wcdma 1900 only helped. I think it has to do with band switching.

Hmmm... Try a odin flash of a modem... if that doesnt help, go stock and go visit att lol

that's weird, i did read that working for some people but hasn't for me. are you running axura or assonance? if so, which modem--jk3?

i've flashed jpp and jpm to no avail. i should go to att and make a big scene with a rep while i'm running froyo and a custom rom--that would be hilarious

I am having the exact same issue. I have tried several roms and modems with no luck. I called at&t tech support, they had me flash back to stock and then they did some magic push to my phone to try and fix the issue. It worked great for a couple weeks, but who wants stock? So I tried to flash everything again and now I'm back to the same random no service issue until I reboot. Gonna flash back to stock again tomorrow to see if that fixes it again. Let me know if you make any progress with this issue!

I've found one of my brothers! I've seen others who have the issue in various i9000 rom threads for the captivate but never a definitive answer. So weird, did you happen to get your phone near launch day? Or do you live near Dallas, TX? Grabbing at straws here...

I would recommend the same, have seen funky modem issues in the past that were resolved by re-flashing the modem only (using odin not an update.zip).

I have already flashed the older i9000 modems with no luck but I'll re-flash jk3--who knows. Has anyone tried using a Captivate modem with the current i9000 roms?
Edit: Re-flash didn't help

I did get my phone near launch day, but in Phoenix, AZ. I'm about to give this issue another few hours of tinkering to see if I can make any progress. I'll let you know if I do.

chiming in from a similar thread that was in development but got moved over here.
i can confirm that for me it seems to be in connection with the phone jumping between 3G and H (i believe i am inbetween towers where i live). i also have a day 1 captivate, but i live in southern NJ.
i have 2 questions:
1) i just odin'ed back to stock. i am trying to do a master clear as well, for good measure. however, i start the master clear and it either stops after a sliver of progress, or after about 20% progress. doesnt appear the phone is doing anything and odin just sits there. i let it run the first time for about 20 mins, didnt go past 20%. - any idea on why this is or what i can do to get a full master clear?
2) i believe i will be flashing over to perception 8. once that is done, id like to re-flash the modem only. would anyone be able to point me to how that is done? i can get the modem.bin from the modem thread, but i wasnt sure if it was just a matter of picking that file in odin and hitting go, or if it was a little more sensitive.
thanks for the help and reading. glad im not the only one in limbo with this issue!

1. Make sure you aren't in DL mode if you're master clearing.
2. You need the full version of odin (3.0 I think) and put the modem.bin in the phone section (you'll see once you get odin 3.0). But again, I've flashed jpp and jpm and it didn't work for me

got it. thanks.
at this point im willing to try it if for some reason it has worked for others.
im wondering why this problem occurs after a while. some kind of cache filling up? ATT's network rejecting the phone?
bleh.

yeah it's really weird. for me it will sometimes happen within 20 minutes of a reboot and being in the same location. other times i'll have service for a few hours. best of luck with the modem and let me know how it turns out!

Here is what I did today:
Restored back to JF6 using the Odin 1 click application
Did a Master Clear using the Odin 1 click application
Rooted using the one-click root app
Installed CWM and flashed Perception Build 8
So far I haven't had the no reception issue, but sometimes it seems to work normally for a while then just starts having problems constantly. I'll post back if I do start having problems, but this is the most promising attempt so far. I also did a bunch of other stuff prior to restoring back to JF6, tried flashing several modems and ROMs, but nothing was really helping. I think that odin restore clears everything completely, so hopefully nothing I did prior to that was actually required to make things work.
Here are a couple of things I ran across while I was trying to get this all working, some I tried, some I didn't, but different people said these helped them so I wanted to list them here in case they are useful.
Do not have your phone plugged in to USB when you flash the ROM with CWM. People mentioned this messing up their flash, but it didn't seem to affect mine.
Some people did not have any data signal at all right after flashing Perception, they had to enable/disable airplane mode before anything started working.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed that my phone will actually keep working this time. Unfortunately, it sounds like some of you have already tried basically the same steps I did and haven't had any luck so this post may not be incredibly helpful to everyone.

i definitely appreciate the information and post. the more we discuss it the better the odds of coming up with a solution are.
i just did the same as you (odin to stock, cwm to percp.8) - i will also post back with findings.

i agree we just need to keep talking about this problem until it gets solved.

a few hrs into perception 8. all is well so far.
will leave it on the charger overnight and post back if the issue
comes up or a few days go by and it doesn't.

SOLVED - Sasktel (bell) phone running Darky's ROM

Ok so I'm running Darky's 7.5 ROM just loaded it and it's flying . i'm having issues connecting to my carrier. I"m from canada and run on a network owned by Sasktel. We get our phones from Bell and our current release is JL2 I think. I was running this ROM fine but wanted to see what all the hype was about .
Now the only problem i'm having is I can't register on my network and thus my phone isn't working as a phone, lol. can someone help me set it up. here are the frequencies we run on.
SaskTel
GSM - N/A
UMTS/HSPA - 850/1900
I went into the APN and set that up so I should have data I just need to get registered. I can see the network Sasktel but it wont let me register. I get the exact message when clicking on it
"Registering on Sasktel......You SIM card does not allow a connection on this network"
any help would be great, thanks
I tried going in here *#2263# but didn't know what to pick so I left it to automatic

I don't know.
When you flash back to official firmware, everything works fine again ?
This may sound funny but try 'sim unlock' your phone.

after flashing, your phone might have reverted back it's original lock which is to BELL.
I agree with the other reply stating for you to have your phone unlocked.

I unlocked my phone a while back and it's unlocked still, Network lock = off. and yes flashing to other roms specifically for my phone will work fine on the network. Is this because Darky's ROM is based on a European ROM JPY and i'm supposed to be running a Canadian ROM JL2?

Hi. I have a SGS straight from Sasktel here in SK. I checked my setting under 2263, and it is automatic (top one). After I checked it, it lost cellular connection for about a minute, then eventually came back (phew!).

awesome what happens when you go back into 2263 and click on the wcdma band, which ones are stared in there?I have 2100, 1900 and 900 starred but 850 is not.....Also could you post your APN settings. those are in settings, wireless network, mobile networks, access point names and then click on the inet.stm.sk.ca one and if it's not too much for you could you post them up here along with the wcdma band settings. Thanks bud

can we actually install darkys rom on BELL vibranat i9000M
i would like to find out if darkys Rom works with Bell vibrant thats i9000M from canada ?

well his rom is up and running fine yes, I just have to get the right setting to run on my carrier....I own a i9000m it's a bell phone that my carrier gets supply from. So yes his rom works great on this phone, it's so fast, I might try flashing a modem for the canadian phones and see if that works i'll post back

SOLVED - Sasktel (Bell) running Darky's ROM
So I figured it out, I was running JL2 and then flashed speedmod kernel to get 2e. I then upgraded to Darky's 7.5 ROM, when that came up I was unable to get on the network. I was getting an error "Sim doesn't allow connection on the network" error when looking in providers. anyways, I just flashed the JK3 modem and i'm back on the network with Darky's rom
I grabbed the modem from here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=846237
I used JK3 because they were having issues with JK4 bricking for some reason and didn't want to risk it. now to just get JL2 modem some how

There is a JL2 modem floating around somewhere.
I am also running jk3 modem with xxJPY, love my phone now.
No more bridling issues

It's very simple, TURN OFF ANY/ALL lag fixes!!!!! Back your **** up. then you can begin
You phone should be unlocked but might not have to be.....mine was, you can grab sgs unlocker form the app market also, You have to be running 2e recovery. so check on that first by powering your phone off, wait till it's actually off, froyo vibrates when it's shut down. After it's off, hold volume up, home button and power till you see the i9000m then let it go. it should boot into recovery. If you were running Froyo then you will have a 3e recovery, we need 2e. Also you should check and make sure you can get into download mode, by powering off, volume down, home and power key. If you can't get inot download mode you have to fix that first. if you can proceed:
So grab the recent stable speedmod kernel from hardcore here DON'T get the development version:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=822756&highlight=speedmod
depending on how you want to flash grab either the CWM or the other one which needs to be flashed via odin. Flash either or and your phone should boot with 2e. follow the instructions hardcore has posted and make sure you hit the thanks button for him .
After we have 2e installed you can grab Darky's ROM located here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=814091
I used the non wipe one and didn't have issues, make sure you back your **** up before flashing anything. If you notice battery drain after you flash you could flash the wipe version just to make sure. anyways, Follow Darky's instructions to the T and dont forget to thank him
After his ROM boots, I grabbed a modem for our phones (bell, sasktel) I used JK3 because the search wasn't working last night but found this morning a link to JL2....i'm not sure if this is legit JL2 because I haven't used it but give it a shot if it doesn't work flash another on top (I can confirm JK3 works)
JL2: http://forum.xda-developers.com/atta...1&d=1293577837
Grabbed that from a link Samdroid_G_S posted so thank him for that.
JK3: was from docs link located here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=846237&highlight=bell
you can thank him for that. I used JK3 because of the issues JK4 was causing. I wouldn't use JK4 but that' up to you.
again you can use either odin or CWM to flash the modem. once you flash the modem you should be able to register on the network. you might not have internet, so you will need to go in and edit your access point name. Located in your phone here:
Settings | wireless and network | Mobile Networks | access point names
If it is blank click the menu button and New APN, all you need for sasktel's is a name, can be whatever and APN, the APN should be "inet.stm.sk.ca" without the quotes. Leave everything else default and save it. you will have to click the bullet after you created it so it knows to use it. should be good after that. For bell just do a quick google search for bell apn or bell access point name, i'm sure someone has posted on xda also.
I am not responsible if you brick your phone, this is entirely on you if that happens.

Thanks man
That's what I have been looking for . A step by step tutorial how is the rom working for you I will give it a shot . I hope sd card Won't die on me again .I can deal with other problems but what could u do when sd card dies
on u .Thanks!

Hey no problem, by default the voodoo lag fix is disabled but honestly you won't need it.....

Nice, one of the great posts ever on xda. Is there any advantage to running darky's ROM? My SGS on JL2 has been good, and battery life seems awesome now that I turned off automated email checking.

Pretty much preference I guess. I love Darky's ROM but JL2 was good, Darky's seems faster it's built upon 2.2.1 and I read Samsung did some kernel upgrades so that's why it's faster. If you do try it out just make sure you can get into recovery and download mode first.

i can confirm that Darkys rom works, I'm running 7.6 atm. I did notice that the APN settings in my original settings were missing ports numbers for data.

I tried this and it did not work, I still don't have data connection and I am on Bell canada.

Are u still getting text's? If so then you are registered on the network, all you have to do is go into your access point names and create an entry, then highlight it after it's saved. See my post above

[Q] Question about service drops?

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] Emergency Calls Only after CM install?

I've spent the last few days trying to figure this out without any luck. I have GT-S5830D (Canadian Koodo version) on stock firmware TLKI4, unlocked with SpeakOut sim (which operates on Rogers network).
Android Version: 2.3.4
Baseband Version: S5830DTLKI4
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7-perf-CL568978 [email protected] #1
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.DTLKI4
PDA: S5830DTLKI4
PHONE: S5830DTLKI4
CSC: S5830DTLSKI4
In this stock firmware, I have no issues at all. Everything works fine, can place calls, WIFI, GPS, data all works. If I flash a new rom to the phone, I can see the networks still show up with signal strength showing okay, but the phone will not place calls. Just says Emergency Calls Only.
I've been reading about everything I can about this phone, and I just can't figure out what the problem is. I have flashed the modem with DDKQ7 and I was able to again place calls, however with this modem firmware, the connection was very unstable and would drop frequently.
Is there an issue with directly updating the stock rom to CM7 or CM9 that would cause problems with this baseband? I was under the impression that baseband wasn't really important. Interestingly enough, I have another phone that is the same make and model and is not experiencing this problem. I feel there must be something I am missing, if anyone can shed some light on this, I would appreciate it.
Thank you.

I have a feeling that I may be the only person that has experienced this issue. Continuing to search the internet for other answers, I've discovered that the baseband is the cause of this issue, but I still don't quite understands how it relates. My other phone is on the stock firmware (TLKI4) and is running CM7 without issue, on the same network even.
Do the APN settings have effect on voice calls too? Or is it strictly for data?
Also, I read a post on here that sounded like there was a limit to how many times you can perform a complete flash with Odin? Is that true? I'd love to keep experimenting, but each time to roll back the stock firmware, I need to use Odin and I'm hesitant due to the thought that will eventually brick the phone.
Thanks again.

tried to flash cm7 again??

Yes. I have installed cm-7.2.0-cooper.zip as well as some of the nightly's and still only get emergency calls only. I have another phone, exactly the same setup, and it works without issue. I even tryed GalaxyICS-latest and the same problem.
Now I did install a different modem firmware, and performed the upgrade and I don't have the issue anymore, however I have other issues, dropped service, 3g doesn't work properly, wifi and mobile data won't switch, gps is has extremely long lock time if it locks at all.
Does anyone here have the D version of this phone from Koodo? Which modem firmwares are you using? Anyone specifically using the phone on SpeakOut? Any hints would be helpful because I'm completely at a loss, will just have to keep it stock until I can figure it out.

I had the same problem as you, don't worry though because there is a solution. The Koodo Samsung Galaxy Ace only receives a signal when using the original Koodo baseband. (Basebands have to do with wireless signal, sometimes referred to as modems.) The good thing for you is that you can use any ROM or firmware you like, as long as after installing it you flash the original Koodo baseband (S5830DTLKI4) using Odin. I found a download link for the baseband in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1381595
After downloading, (I'm assuming you know how to use Odin, if not you can find a guide easily) open Odin, and in the "Phone" section browse to the file and select it. (You will have to extract the ZIP) Then press start and wait until it is finished downloading and that should do the trick. If you need any more help post back because I know what a pain it is to try and get this particular phone rooted and install a custom ROM.
ALSO MAKE SURE TO BACKUP IN CLOCKWORK MANAGER BEFORE FLASHING THIS
cause you never know what can happen.

If I flash CM7, it still shows my baseband being the same. It doesn't appear to have been changed. So what I need to do is flash CM7 and then just reflash the baseband with Odin and it should work? Even though the baseband shows the same? I'll give it a shot and let you know how it works out, but does anyone know why this would be required, to have to reflash the baseband even though it was never changed?

Is your current baseband S5830DTLKI4? Because in my experience that's the only way I could get service unless I was on the Koodo stock ROM.
Sent from my GT-S5830 using XDA

Yes, that is the firmware that I'm on. That firmware was installed with the stock rom that the phone came with and I have not changed it. Although I have changed it before, it fixed the issue with getting 'emergency calls only' in CM7 but the service was so flaky it wasn't worth keeping as a solution. If I leave the firmware from stock DTLKI4 and flash CM7 over it, I end up getting stuck with emergency calls only problem.
Is the current official CM7 not compatible with DTLKI4 firmware? Could that be the problem I'm having? I'm still really confused why this isn't working, but I will try to install CM7 again, and then use Odin to flash the DTLKI4 on top to see if the install is causing any issue with it. It doesn't really make sense.

Alright, interestingly enough, I just flashed it again and all is working as expected. I've flashed this phone about 10 times, using the same files and it would not work.
This time however, what I did differently is not root the phone. I've been using the universal_gb_root_v20.zip to root the phone previously, but I found that rooting before installing CM is waste of time as root is enabled in the CM7 rom already.
Also, when I flashed the stock rom with Odin, it usually used selected the KDO CSC automatically, last time I flashed it came up with TLS CSC and had the Telus branding. I don't know if that made any difference. All I know is that it worked and I am able to make calls and use data without any problems.
Thank you Dynamic_Apple, although your recommendation was not required, it did give me the motivation to try again and that was enough to get it working. I've never had so much difficulty modding a phone in my life, especially a model that I have messed with before.

Glad I was able to help, I had just as much trouble getting mine modded too, it makes me jealous of all the generic Galaxy Ace owners, but it's good to know that you can actually get past Koodo's sneaky limitations.

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?
