ive just upgraded from miui 1.4.something to 1.7.15 (galnet).
once finished installing immediately got com.android.phone not working. and continued to pop up untill i went into airplane mode, there was also no reception and sim was not recognized.
ive tried pretty much evrything; restoring nandroid, flashing different roms, flashing radios.
nothing works, i cant get any reception in some cases and in others i cant recognize the sim, im pretty much helpless by now after 5 good hours of messing around with pretty much evrything, if anyone has any idea please let me know.
i figure this has something to do with EFS but i cant seem to restore it, i could really use some help on this one....
Have you lost your IMEI?
I believe flashing back to a stock Froyo rom should resolve your issues.

going back to froyo seems to work, but not fully : i cant seem to send texts, also flashing another rom from here still does not work.
so im stuck with stock froyo with no messaging.
there must be something i missed... no one has any idea?
I'm not to sure why you cant sent texts, makes calls etc.
But after flashing to Froyo, did you paste your original EFS folder back into the phone? Which Froyo firmware did you flash?
Also have you checked your APN settings. Are they correct?
again. calls work, but texts dont.
also, this is in the original firmware.. on anything else i cant get anything to work.
and yes i restored the EFS but it did not help any.

OK.. First of all I want you to know that I'm not a n00b and that 99% of the cases I know what I'm doing with my phone but this is a weird one
Problem no.1: The simcard keeps on "disconnecting", resulting in disconnection from the network. Since the first seconds I start the phone it does this. Sometimes it doesnt even accept my PIN as being incorrect, but in the notification bar the SIM+! icon disappears for a moment. This is after I screwed a ROM and returned to stock using the OCD JF6.
Problem no.2: It wont master clear! No matter what I do, it wont do it. I tried since the first second when ODIN detects the phone. I tried it when it fully loads the ROM, it just wont go.
Background: Before, I had installed Froyo JPA i9000 ROM with Reoriented kernel 2.1.2 (voodoo lagfix+color,bln). Everything was soooooo fast on that ROM (with around 100 apps installed) but I wanted to theme it. So I tried to deodex it using xUltimate. I followed the (logical) instructions found in a post here and it didnt want to boot anymore... well, it did but in a FCs symphony.
I did what I believed is right and I returned to stock but I forgot to pull out the SIM card... then these problems appeared.
Gimme a hint what could I do. I'm asking first here because a working PDA without a SIM is .. acceptable but a totally bricked one is worse so before I take any steps further I need your opinion.
Thanks a lot.
No one?

Problem 1: can probably be fixed by reflashing stock with the SIM card *not* in the slot (that's about my only guess, never seen that).
Problem 2: master clear must be done with the phone turned on *NOT* download mode. the phone must be fully booted with adb debugging enabled in settings.
xUlimate: it's a poorly written application and it's success ratio is probably about 50/50, another tool to look into is auto-deodexer. Also, both the framework AND the system apps need to be deodexed to have everything play nicely (gtg taught me this one)
id experiment. from what i gather you were able to flash jf6 but it was a bad flash. does it still have download mode? maybe try to flash again and then try to master clear? maybe try to flash another rom, then try to flash back to stock?
this doesn't sound like anything anyone has seen before so your best bet is to just try something.
Thanks a lot for the replies guys!
The master clear was tried from all phone statuses (booting; finished booting; after the phone operated for a while) except download and recovery (i know is not suppose to be done from there).
I did reflash to stock without the SIM, same issue.
I will try flashing again some other rom. I'll try more and ill post the result here

OK, so, it seems that for some reason, after stock restore there were still remaining of XEE CSC in the phone..
I loaded the JPA back and now is all fine.
I am having the same issue, unable to clear with CWM or odin, or within the OS in either the stock rom or axura 4 or 5...
Can you please elaborate on your solution?
CSC looks familar to me, thats an ODIN file right? If so, what part of the phone would that be (kernal, modem, OS)?
What do you mean by load JPA? Odin package or CWM? WHole rom or specific parts.
thanks...this has got me stumped
Well, my issue is that I cannot use 2.1 anymore (any 2.1, tried stock Captivate and JM8 from i9000), I don't understand what is wrong but my first bet is that the /efs partition got changed in some way when I loaded JPA i9000 ROM.
Froyo works fine, any ROM I load give me full functionality but on 2.1 the SIM gets disconnected all the time and after a while the phone reboots by itself. Just to make it clear, I never had the usual Captivate reboot issue, it started when this SIM problem appeared.
Note: my product codes are fine, in both nv_data.bin and nv_data.bak the product code is finishing in ATT and my IMEI is available in both 2.1 and 2.2 and is correct, so no IMEI corruption here.
Could someone give me a hint?? Would flashing to stock with phone EFS clear help?
wifi stopped working i believe right after i flashed to the latest cyanogen mod, or shortly after. Today i flashed back to rogers stock froyo and still wifi does not work. Wtf is going on, did my router block access to it after cyanogen was installed or something?
any advice is appreciateed
3g still works.

Try some troubleshooting first.
Reset your Access Point/Router, or try a different router/ap. Flash back to 100% stock and do a "master clear".
I also find it useful to clear out the /efs partition after returning to Samsung ROMs after using CyanogenMod. Of course ONLY do this after you have a tested and safely stored a backup of your current "nv_data.bin" file. You have been warned.
Take out your battery and just let your phone chill for a few hours. That sometimes helps too.
Anyway, if after a complete flash to stock and master clear, and some troubleshooting with different access points you still get no WiFi signal, something may be wrong with your hardware...
From there you might either need to send it into a Samsung service center, or find a very technically minded XDA member to help you further. Good luck!
Im new to flashing roms, so bare with me. I flashed my first rom last week, using Andromeda3 and Ursa Minor #2 kernel, everything worked great except, i couldnt connect to 3G/H, even though it showed up on notification bar, tried looking for answers, i ended up flashing different modems to no avail. So, i flashed back to stock eclair, used kies mini to upgrade to Froyo 2.2 UCKB1, Data worked. I then flashed UCKB2 rom, data didnt worked) i tried wiping cache and all that, still no data connection, btw, wfi worked. So i flashed back to UCKB1, again, everything worked perfectly. The other day, i flashed Fusion XI and GB bootloaders, i must say i like this rom very much, but again still couldnt connect to 3G/H, everything else worked, although i havent tested the GPS yet, i am getting amazing DL/UL speeds through wifi. Anyway, i searched XDA for any answers i could find and pretty much tried them all, seems like only KB1 3G will work, but any custom rom out there, data hasnt worked even though i see it in notification area, i'd use market and browser, but would say could not connect. Am i doing something wrong/ missing a step?? I really like Fusion XI and dont want to flash back to stock. Any help would be appreciated.
Didnt know where else to post this, seems like other people dont have the data connection issue :/
That's weird.
Try flashing the kb1 modem on fusion.
I did try flashing the KB1 modem, but that too, didnt work. it only works if i go back to stock KB1 for some reason.
where do you live? what Carrier are you with?
have you checked your APN settings?
fill in your location and carrier/ device info in your signature/ xda user information.
I Live in Southeastern Pennsylvania. And currently have AT&T as my carrier. I tried APN settings, but not sure what to set it too, i have used APN Manager from the Market.
Try resetting ur apn settings to default. Then reboot.
Sent by XDA Premium App
how do u reset apn settings?
Settings, wireless and networks, mobile networks, access point names. Now hit the menu key and reset default apn well be on the bottom left...
Ok, tried that, still a no go connecting to data. I just flashed stock 2.1 then 2.2 update through Kies mini, i no longer have data connection even on official stock roms could this be a hardware issue??? gps sucks. ran a gps test using the app from market. other than that, everything else is working. what did i do wrong?
Hi all,
Last week I upgraded my Note to new LT4 rom.(s). Couple of days later, my Note was unable to make calls. When I try to make call or receive a call, there is no sound neither from earpiece nor from the speaker. If I reboot the phone I sometimes be able to make some calls with a great noise on the background then it stops.
I re-flashed the rom and flashed other roms even re-flashed LZS roms with all clean install even finally formatted the internal sd card . No change.
Since I can make one-two calls after each reboot I still think it may be a software issue rather than hardware.
All other functions including cell reception, 3G, internet, wireless all working very well but cannot use it to make phone calls.
If you have any suggestions I appriciate.
Best Regards
Update - I installed the stocked LZS Rom but the problem still continues.

have you checked that your IMEI is the correct one? maybe it got corrupted...If that is the issue, should be solved by restoring your EFS backup .

No, I haven't checked. But I don't know my previous IMEI . How am I supposed to know if changed or not? I haven't backed it up. How to restore to original status?
Thanks

Below the battery you have the original IMEI number...if it is changed, then that is the issue. If you don't have a backup of your EFS, I am not sure but you can try to flash the stock rom by selecting EFS in ODIN PC. That is stuff is quite delicate, so I would recommend you to ask Dr. Ketan that he is more familiar with it.
But again, make sure that your imei is fine first. If that is not, then might be a hardware issue..
Thank you for your kind suggestions. I checked and it looks O.K. there is no change on IMEI. Actually I can receive SMS and 3G is working very well, my phone rings if someone calls but cannot talk.
Problem continues
Hi There,
The problem still hasn't been solved. Somehow all is going fine and suddenly re-occures. Has anybody come up with same problem and found a solution? Please share.
ı am on xlt6 Rom with Philz kernel

Yesterday, my phone just decided it didn't want to be connected to a network anymore. I was running DynamicKat ROM. It just happened out of nowhere and continues today. I've tried flashing different ROMS and they install fine, but I still can't register to a network. I believe I need to update the modem, but I'm not sure. I'm currently on baseband version ANK4, but I think I need to update to BOC4. Does this sound correct? Any advice would be great, and if you might point me in the direction of any files needed it would be greatly appreciated as well. No need to link, but just a general section where I could find the files would be helpful as I seem to have little luck with the search function here. Thank you in advance.
EDIT: Ehhh... Nevermind. It just started working again. I can't explain it. Suddenly I was connected again.
Always a good idea to check your APN settings if you are in a known coverage area with a new ROM. Been my problem 90 percent of the time

Funny you mention this as I run the same ROM and have had this occur to me whilst traveling around my area and in and out of T-Mobile "Dead Spots" which seem to be many...
Even called T-Mobile to report and best they could tell me is go into "More Networks-Mobile Networks-Network operators" and select - Select automatically.
A real PITA when you driving down the road and need to call out or re-connect your call with someone.
Note: I've had numerous issues on different ROMS similar to this so I pretty much blame T-Mobile and their service in my area unless someone else can chime in, I would be curious...

I had a similar problem on DK, except that it was unmounting my sim card completely & I had to reboot to get it working again. Happened every hour or so, very frustrating. I tried a different rom & the issue went away, so it's definitely something funky with DK which makes me sad cause that's my favorite rom.
I just reflashed it last night though & I took the precaution of completely reflashing ANK4 through Odin and redoing root & TWRP too, then flashing DK like normal. So far, so good(and it seems to have fixed the battery life issues I was having as well, yay), so you might try that method & see if it helps for you too. But be sure to back up your internal storage first cause odin WILL wipe it. Learned this the hard way, bye-bye all my pictures & titanium backups :/
Files I used can be found here.. BOC4 is for LP, so you should be fine with ANK4.
