[Q] How to Fix? Galaxy S "Emergancy Calls Only" After Odin Flash - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

Baseband is now: I9000XXJPU
Never have got signal on this since the flash so its not like a tempromental issue.

Got my answer, was a dodgy phone, had been network barred

[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.

all that works fine and i haven't tried a new sim card as i do not have another sim card to try but i thought that if it was that problem the phone would not start as it would ask you for a network lock code? it is really annoying. ]

Check if your IMEI is correct, you find it under settings, about, status.
Your correct IMEI is on a sicker under the battery.

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.

[Q] Mobile network not available..?

Hello, I bought of a friend a Samsung galaxy s and he said it needs only unlocking,so i "think" i unlocked it successfully.Was putting a O2 Simcard in and in applications i was having then the o2 SIM Toolkit.
But when i tried to make an phonecall, he tells me "Mobile Network not available",so i went to settings and wireless and network and tried to choose an network operator but he tells me then " Unable to connect to this network at this time.Please try again later."
What can I do?
Did you check the APNs?
Please first check if your IMEI is intact. If it is, flash a different MODEM and see if it works. If it's not, flash a fresh ROM using ODIN and that should hopefully restore your efs.
At first thanks for the reply, but now what is a APN? And how do i know if my IMEI is intact?
Sry,am a newbie
For you IMEI you should check your original SGS Box's sticker. There should be you IMEI number printed on. If you dial *#06# you should be able to read your IMEI. --> Look if it is the same as on your box
for apn settings. Apn is your connection settings, how your phone connects with the providers network. you have to check your mobile network settings if these are correct.
So, the IMEI nr is different then on the sticker,and the apn wasnt ticked,so I ticked the O2 and tried but still no mobile network.
Then i need to flash if I'm right?
I was already looking a bit around here about roms etc. But there are quite a few out there,so when you say to flash a fresh rom,which actually do I need to use?
Thank you
Hi again,
because the imei wasn't the same, I flashed it with a new rom (actually two different ones)
But still after both flashes I still don't got my old imei and still no mobile network available. After the one flash with I9000XXJPU he didn't said anymore no mobile network available,instead he said no data network available.
It would be nice if somebody would have some advice or help.
Thanks
hey! don't panic, i have had the the same problem
just download darky's resurrection edition in the development section and flash it. it should bring you back to froyo 2.2.1 and should also restore your imei properly. after this procedure you are free to flash any rom you want

No Network
Hi!
I have the same problem.
Network is fine (i switched the SIM-Card into different phones), but my SGS GT I-9000 does not connect / find to any network.
I am running Darky`s ROM 4.0.4 v11.0 Black Edition with 3.0.17-Semaphore_ICS_1.2.5s.
Also, the phone says on screen the name of my network provider (COSMOTE), but no signal.
What now?

Highly Challenging Network Issue

I've had this samsung galaxy ace s5830i (my first android) for 4 of the most frustrating months now.
The problem first started with the phone being stuck on EDGE regardless of signal strength. I tried flashing it with new roms but had zero success. I tried manipulating the menu under *#197328640# but that led to a dead end as well. Every time I tried to select WCDMA only, the network bar changes to a "circle and cross" type of thing. I tried to dial *#7465625# to check for network locks but everything reads off i.e. no locks of any kind. Finally, I tried to select a new radio band by dialing *#4636# but that operation crashes a "com.android.phone" everytime.
So in summation, service mode changes don't help and flashing the rom doesn't help.
Recently, I to switched one of the strongest networks available (other than the one I'm on) but the phone is stuck on "emergency calls only" mode. When I try a manual network search and select the network to which the SIM card belongs, I get and error telling me that the SIM card can't register onto the network.
I have used these SIM cards on nokia phones and other samsung galaxy ace devices and have experienced none of the problems listed above, even in remote areas. The support guys of my network say nothing is wrong with my account.
So there you have it. Is there anything left that I can try?
Flash the latest firmware available for your region in Odin. Because this will wipe and reinstall your modem and other data as well as your ROM. If that doesn't do it then it must be a hardware problem, isn't it under warranty?
By the way just to rule this out, check you haven't lost your IMEI number with *#06# as this can also cause network access issues.

The IMEI ok. What section of the operating system controls the com.android.phone process or the phone's ability to select or switch bands? In my lay man understanding, this is where the issue lies and every time I flash, this region remains unchanged
Try changing manually CSC of the ROM.That's the most reasonable thing that I can thing of right now...if it don't work after changing it go to samsung service..

If you mean the *#272*IMEI# trick, then I already tried that and samsung has no presence in my country so no service centre to speak of
I have your exact same problem .
and I've been looking for a solution since last week , i'm starting to think its a hardware problem.
I "worked around" it by flashing the phone with a rom that locked the device and then reflashing it with the original rom. At least now it picks network but the other problems haven't left i.e. still no 3G and I can't edit any menu under service mode et al.
On another note, if you have the time, try flashing with different modems... maybe a miracle will happen
There seems to be something wrong with basebands of latest stock roms.Try switching aeroplane mode on and then off.I regularly lose signal..and get stuck without signal until I reboot.

Make sure of your phone model (Under the battery) because there is GT-S5830M GT-S5830C and GT-S5830I.
In my case, I have GT-S5830M and the only modem that worked for me is PHONE_S5830CVJKL4.tar.md5.
Maybea changing the modem will fix your network problem.

You can use a file called Odinatrix (found somewhere here on xda) to split single firmware files into pda, modem and csc. I, on the other hand, still get a circle and cross whenever I set the device to wcdma only. The interesting thing is that setting it on auto picks up 3g but very rarely (twice in many months) and for a short time (like 3 minutes). still looking for answers

i9305 no mobile signal..what else can i try ?

I Have had this i9305 now without mobile signal, with a vodaphone it did used to show signal but in all cases it always says 'no mobile networks' or 'not registered on network' i have tried with every sim i can think of... it was suggested to flash a stock rom which i did..this made no difference, i then tried installing CM11 and followed the guide to the letter.
I know this phone is not blacklisted as i checked with the imei, i have tried flashing different modems but to be honest im not sure what i am flashing to it..i have tried three different ones now starting with XX as i am in uk...i really dont know if i have missed something or doing something drastically wrong..i have read and read and usualy i would have had this resolved by now...can anyone please help me as i want to give this handset to my girlfriend for a present very soon so we can keep in touch..i am at my wits end with it:crying:
Thanks
Try an emergency restore through Samsung Kies - this should eliminate any software related problem. Sounds to be a hardware problem though so get Triangleaway going and send it for repair if that doesn't work.
Flash 4.1.2, then enable and disable the LTE-only mode hack in the hidden service menu (the *#2263# one, not *#*#4636#*#*). (If you have root, you can also access that menu in 4.3 or even the 4.4.2 port, but it's a bit more involved.)

it won't let me do that as it doesn't list the phone as needing an emergency recovery. I flashed a stock rom and the signal is showing but it keeps saying not registered on network.. if I do a search it finds providers but when I opt for the provider of the sim it just perpetually spins at registering on network.

2.flashed other custom ROM (didnt like it so I restored the first one from nandroid)
3.everything went well except no imei and no baseband
4.reverted back to stock rom with odin
5.and here is the problem,no 4g signal at all. 3g/2g works fine.

Thanks for your replies,I flashed stock german 4.4.4 from sammobile.It worked very good about 2 months.
I think that modem is xxufoa1 and version of phone is i9305 lte international.
If somebody could help me with this issue,I would appreciate that.But no hurries,I got new playmate S6 edge...
try doing a complete wipe of data and cache, then flash stock rom again to see if problem persists
I have tried many times but no help...
Hey, try flashing the parambin.zip file (look for it on google related to s3 lte, you'll find it easily). Another thing to try is just wait with the phone turned on with a valid SIM. I found out that sometimes it delayed a lot to get signal, specially when changing SIM carriers on another country. After a while waiting it finally succeeded (probably unrelated but I also saw on the catlog entries about upgrading the sahara file of the qualcomm chip -the modem-).
