i think i broke my phone :( help needed

hi all
i thought i would attempt to flash my samsung s with the new beta froyo update.
i followed this guys tutorial.
( cant link to it sorry its the noobs guide with detailed instructions through kies and odin)
i used the odin approach
i managed to root the phone.
on reboot it asked for an unlock code (o2 uk) so i went on to try and follow the steps about unlocking it. which neither worked all the way through the steps.
on reboot it appears to have signal and in the about section it says i am onnected to the o2 network but when i try to make a call is says "data network not available with an ok button, which when pressed will return you to the ome screen.
any help would be greatly appreciated thanks

Almost the same problem,
installed 2.2 update successfully, the phone worked for like 3-4 days very well and after that today i discovered "Emergency calls only"
so the question now is did i bought phone which later was reported stolen? or somehow i broke it?
Anyone have any idea?

hmmm, I have the same problem! In the status menu, the number is shown, but the network, says "unknown"

Hi! I have this exact same problem except I was unlocking my phone using this tutorial:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=906255
But I didn't back up my Efs folder, now my phone is unlocked but when I put a sim card in it I have very little network and when I try to make a call I get " NO DATA NETWORK AVAILABLE".
I've tried everything but I don't know what to do!
I was thinking of two ways to fix it:
1. Reinstall froyo (not quite sure how using the samsung software as my laptop oesn't recognised the phone as a pone)
2. Downgrade to, get unlock code using market app and then upgrade to froyo again.
I know I messed up but now I really need to fix this.
Can someone PLEASE PLEASE help me out.

might need to change the modem in odin i think. just heard about it

did u try restarting the phone... just a wild guess...

I had the same issue before and was puzzled. Its actually a very simple solution:
1. Re-lock your phone, search through xda there is a code you have to enter
2. Unlock your phone
All done! Surprisingly easy

Try the Odin method in block 2 back to Eclair if ok then upgrade to Froyo .

However your non connection might be due to not flashing a firmware with your network settings in which case manual settings of APN .
If your IMEI has changed due to flashing and you did not back up your EFS folder then little hope but do a google / search of XDA as some have reported success .

Emergency calls only
I had a custom rom that was giving that to me too. I think it means that you can access a network different from your sim (because usually emerg calls can be made from any phone I think?).
I'd try and find a rom that is optimized for your carrier or at least a modem file from a stock rom that is for your carrier. You may also need to reselect the APN settings (or enter them for your carrier). Its under settings/wireless and network/Mobile networks/access point names (use the menu button to add an APN).
you could also try re downloading and flashing the rom to make sure that is the issue. Mine said it installed OK but never booted up, redownloaded and reflashed and then it was fine but the install screens looked identical.

Hi! Thank you so much for everyone's replies!
My IMEI isn't changed and someone helped me check my efs files and they are all ok. I'm going to try and reflash froyo through the samsung software to see if the network lock comes back and then try to unlock again. For this I'm going to unroot the phone and follow samsungs' instructions.
I'm afraid to relock the phone as there are reports that say it completely messes everything up!
But I'll keep you guys posted! Wish me luck!!!!
PS. Any other suggestions are more than welcome!

So, a quick update on my situation.
I uninstalled busybox and unrooted my phone using the oneclick root tool.
Did a factory format and, surprise surprise, my phone now works perfectly!
Apart from the fact that it doesn't connect to kies, but that's a whole another issue!
Tank you so much to all of you who answered my cry for help!

[Q] Only one soft / Signal without sim card

Hi forum
I have a very unusual problem with SGS. Well, from the beginning.
My mobile operator, has given me the SGS (with Android 2.2).
So I decided to upgrade to version 2.2.1, possibly Cyanomod / draky's. I plugged the phone to the PC and step by step according to the tutorial:
- downloaded Odin3 1.7
- pitting 512
- Keis with drivers
- And of course the latest 2.2.1 I9000XWJS3
Fleshed this soft thanks odin. Telephone, everything installed, Odin wrote "PASS" and there was a reboot. There was a samsung logo and then black screen and light vibration from time to time. Zero response.
I learned about the "Recovery Mode " did reset the cache, etc. Reboot ... NOTHING. So stweirdziłem that you need to return to the previous firmware ... Now all my flash's finished in the same way: a black screen and a slight vibration.
I tried reaaaaly a lot of versions and nothing. I tried it once cyanonmod, darky's mod. And nothing. Somewhere on this forum, I found versions: Froyo (2.2) That does not bricks. Worked.
But, this is the ONLY version that can be installed and running.
But it is not so big problem. The problem arises when I put the SIM card. Phone lying on the table (in a place where I always had coverage in other phones) to lose coverage. To one or zero bars. Neither I can not get anywhere else, nor to call me you can not reach you.
But when I stretch out my SIM card, coverage remains. At least in the form of dashes. Of course, nowhere is this possible calling, but the phone displays one or sometimes four lines.
My question:
Could this be the fault of soft? What should I do if I can not change it? Return to factory settings is not possible because they get a black screen and a slight vibration. I have tried:
- changing soft to 2.2.1
- 3 button recovery
- flashed with the kernel
- w8 for over an hour! to give SGS time to install everything right
- reupdating soft for hundreds ways
- read all FAQs on forums...
I didn't "root"
althou I tried to ":update.zip" in recovery mode but it gives only new errors.
Anyone have any idea? Or I am doomed for Samsung service?
thx

And how about getting back to factory soft. I mean, the soft that come to me with the new phone?
Or these soft has been overwritten by the all flashe's I tried to install, and is unbeckupable?
maybe this will solve the signal problem?

Not unless you saved it .

I downgrade to 2.1-upadate1 (I9000XXJM4). Still no signal with SIM card. But when I try to upgrade to 2.2 via Kies 2.0 and didn't have info about possible upgrade to 2.2. So I downloaded old version of Kies (1.5.1) and try to again with regedit tweek and now I get information: "This software verios you cannot update"
Tryied "Test mode ON" "Test mode OFF", still nothing....

You will have to continue and flash the stock rom 2,2,1 as per the posted link .
Sim card have you checked it works on another phone .
jje

Yes SIM card is working perfectly on another iphone 3gs and nokia c5-00.
Now I don't have time to do all these steps, but tomorrow I will contact my operator to service it or maybe change to new one.
And do you think the signal problem might be the soft foulty? I think it is somenthink more...
And thank you for all the help.

[Q] Galaxy S mobile network not available

Can anyone help i have upgraded my phone after much trouble trying to unlock it via market apps & superoneclick neither worked and the phone ended up going into some dead mode and wouldnt fully load up.
So in still trying to end up with a network unlocked phone i have managed to upgrade my phone to GINGERBREAD.XXJVQ 2.3.4 which was successful and work perfectly over my broadband wireless network but when i try to make calls it tell me
"MOBILE NETWORK NOT AVAILABLE"
the mobile was previously on three uk network but is now debranded obviously with gingerbread
i tried a hard reset via *2767*3855* but still no change.
any help greatly appreciated many thanks in advance
Ged

Just look like your phone have been locked on three network.and your unlock is failed.
Did you try found any phone shop on market to unlock your phone?
probably just five pound for each one on Chinatown.
I was stay in UK for 3 year,and as I know, the Chinatown guys have special device for unlock phone ,one simply for all,whatever you upgrade rom,you will be never locked again.

I'm not sure about that really cause it also does this with my correct network sim card still installed......

You've checked your apn settings? Sounds top suspect to me.
If you've still got problems, flash ezbase gingerbread. Search dev section, full, simple instructions included.

I tried that it tells me i should
"insert a sim card to access network services"
Could you point me in the right direction so i know im using the right programs and files

Please check your IMEI number by dialing *#06# on the keypad. If it displays the correct imei number as displayed on the Phone box/ under the battery, then you are saved. If not you have lost your efs folder which contains the files which hold the imei data.
Did u get the phone with Gingerbread as stock rom? Try downgrading to an Eclair (2.1) ROM with Odin.

hello again peoples,
I'm very grateful for all your assistance but i just wasn't paying attention when i was putting my SIM card into my phone and put it in the wrong way round...!
i mean what happened to SIM card slots where sim cards only fit in one way...!
again thanks alot for all your assistance also i've ended up upgrading to Insanity 2.3.5
Thank s

[Q] Samsung Galaxy I9000 ROM installed in SHW-M110S and doesnt work

Geniuses,
I just got myself into a messy situation after flashing my Korean SHW-M110S into GT-I9000 Firmware through Odin, and my SIM card doesnt work "Insert SIM card to access network services", My phone had Korean firmware and I Flashed Gingerbread onto it (meant for I9000) I got surprised to see No network and the home key wasn't working at all, then I got messed up with the pit files and the PDA. and my phone dint turn on at all not even in download mode and recovery mode either.
(the service center also refused to help since they don't support goods purchased outside the country.)
I got help from a local phone repairing ppl actually turned it on by resetting it (not sure they said it was in DEV mode, IS THAT DOWNLOAD MODE )
How can I get rid of this situation if persists ??
Now I have got ECLAR build installed by them happy to see the home key working but still he was not able to fix the Insert SIM card problem,
Any help would be appreciated !!!
Thanking You,
Deepak Negi

[Q] Please Help - Galaxy Note suddenly show "Emergency Calls Only"

Quick background:
- I have an International version, sourced from Latin America
- I have rooted the phone but NOT custom ROM
- I have Straight Talk service
The phone was just working fine for almost 1 month, can receive call, SMS, etc. Just today, I shutdown the phone and took out the microSD card and SIM.
I copied some files to the microSD card using a reader and left the phone with the SIM and battery out for about 30 minutes.
I put the microSD, SIM and battery and rebooted the phone. Suddenly, I got Emergency Calls only!
I have tried to "fix" it but to no avail:
1). Looking at the 3 PIN in the SIM slot, they are all INTACT, nothing bend or broken or lopse
2). The SIM card works - tested it in another 2 different phone and can make calls, etc.
3). I did CWM recovery to a backup from 1 day ago (when the phone still works)
Anyone have this experiences or my phone just DEAD?

weird...
try do the hard reset (try not to restore anything yet), if still doesn't change anything... flash new radio (LC1)

I disassembled my Note using the instructions from here to check if any of the 6 (SIX) SIM Card connector is bent and it is NOT.
I am putting it back together now and will do factory reset (this is what you meant by "hard reset", right?). I will post back with updates/
PS: this is INDEED weird. The phone works OK, Wifi works, sound works, screen works, microSD card is readable, everything works EXCEPT the GSM connection! And I didn't even mess aroud with the custom ROM/kernel/radio!

did u test other sim card on that phone yet?

I don't have an extra SIM card. What I did was take out the Straight Talk (ST) SIM card from my Note and put it in another unlocked GSM phone (Nokia N73). The Nokia N73 works with the ST SIM.
I just did a "Factory Reset" and still the same thing.
Before I try the radio flash, what will this "software" do to the Note modem? I am just curious how it will fix it.
BTW, my Baseband vesion is "BKK1", and I don't see the radio for this baseband in the link you provided. Which one should I use?
PDA: N7000UBKK2
PHONE: N7000UBKK1
CSC: N7000UWHKK2

flashing the radio doesn't effect your rom... try them.
try to borrow your neighbor sim card first before flash new radio.

Which radio files I should use? The link you provided show multiple radios, but I don't see one for my phone:
PDA: N7000UBKK2
PHONE: N7000UBKK1
CSC: N7000UWHKK2

Try to clean the Sim slot.

Yes, I tried cleaning the SIM slot. I have been very careful with my Note since day 1.
Someone mentioned that they have the same problem and was able to fix it by flashing STOCK ROM back.
I searched in the development section and could not find ROM for my phone (N7000UBKK1). Do you have any idea where I can get this from?

Well, looks like my phone is toast. I have tried the following:
1). Wipe data, cache, Dalvik and restore to CWR backup --> NO GO
2). Do a "factory reset" --> NO GO
3). Install stock firmware using Odin --> NO GO
NOTE: had to search for stock firmware on the Internet since it is NOT available in XDA
The only thing I haven't tried is flashing the modem firmware, but this is NOT available anywhere in XDA either.
The ST SIM card works because I tried this on two other GSM phone. Only the Note show "Emergency Call Only" message.
So now I have a $600 media player that I can't event sell. I guess serves me right for buying an International version with ZERO warranty and just happen that there is NO modem firmware for my phone.

Anyhow,
I found out the solution to this problem by accident, and there doesn`t appear to be a solution anywhere else on the internet. Turn off your phone and restart it. As soon as you are able to do so, open up setting, or any other app. When your phone goes into cool down mode, hold down the home button. A screen will come back asking you to select an app. Select whatever you opened prior to cool down mode (If you need to get into settings press the search button and search for settings after your out of CDM). You then need to do two things. Go to Running services (Settings>Applications>Running services), find detect battery service, touch it and stop it. To the best of my knowledge, it doesn`t do anything to your phone, other than activate cool down mode. Then go to manage applications (Settings>Applications>Manage applications) press your menu button and select filter> all applications. Find Battery protect, click on it, and select force stop. This allows your phone to get reception. You will have to do this every time your phone starts up, but it isn`t too much of a hassel for a truely excelent phone. The Cool down mode problem is definitly a software fault.

HELP!!
I have also had this same problem. My phone is STOCK I have not touched it. got the phone on last Monday working fine until the battery level ran right down yesterday, then I got message to "insert sim card!", ever since re-starting the phone I no longer can make calls!. I had no intension of rooting or messing with this phone and decided to wait until official ICS, but now what do I do?, is this a common problem?.
Tried previous instruction on this post, but unable to find any battery service running on the device.
Please help!!

I now also have this issue after updating to the latest firmware via Kies.
UPDATE: I got mine checked and it looks like the replacement unit I got had its SIM card broken. Dodgy eBay seller.
Just fyi, never insert MicroSim card adaptor in Galaxy Note. Mine works now after spending $100. Jeez

FYI, I tried all of the suggested solutions in this thread and I still have problem. So I returned the Note and got the AT&T version... At least now I got US Warranty

Same thing just happened to my phone. Rogers Galaxy note II.
Tried bunch of different SIM cards, none work.
Got the SIM reader app, phone reads SIM just fine. Data connection also works, but refuses to make voice calls "emergency only".
So pissed, wanna throw this phone against the wall.

Did anyone find a solid solution? Mine did this today, Stock never been rooted or anything! Any ideas?
