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 .
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=818556
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!

Is it possible...

I installed the Gingerbread update off samfirmware on my samsung galaxy s but i would like to go back to the official firmware for vodafone UK so i can just continue updating through Kies, is it possible and if so how??
Sorry if this is in the wrong place but i have been searching the net for ages and i can't find anything and all i keep seeing is this site so i thought you guys might be able to help me.

Reinstall the original firmware you saved .
Another one that did not save then you might find somebody with firmware saved .
Or you flash stock rom via Odin use registry spoof method to try to update to Vodaphone current firmware .
Kies only updates original firmware .

It is quite simple. Disable any lagfix or ext4 conversion (if any) back to RFS. Flash via ODIN with preferably 512 pit & repartition (it will save you a lot of time & less opportunity of errors appearing afterwards). I would also suggest you to make a backup of your data & do a factory reset before flashing back.....

On youtube are many tutorials how to flash back to your stock rom.
example:
search: samsung galaxy s flash stock rom
-> the first video
stock roms you can download in this forum

I do not have the original VodaFone Firmware, That's why i need to change this current firmware so i can update it via Kies to the original Vodafone uk firmware, i do not know nothing about lag fixes or anything, i just used odin to update my phone to V2.3.3, i followed simple instructions to do it, it was my first time doing anything to my phone, i know i should of read into it etc....

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=723596
Basic faqs .
Roll back to 2.2.1 from Beta 2.3 Gingerbread .
Post 2 but you are as always at risk of bricking your phone .
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1033781
Kies will only update stock 2.2 .1 to Vodafone firmware if you spoof the registry as posted .It will not update to Gingerbread until Gingerbread is released .
jje

I'm not very good at these things and i know i shouldn't of done it in the first place but i don't understand those instructions, is there no way anyone has it or can get it for me? or extract it from there phone or something like that?

No nobody seems to bother keeping original firmware >Try a Google search for Voda firmware .
Flash back to stock Eclair 2.1 and try below to spoof Kies.
http://www.appbrain.com/app/spooffw/com.johnan.spooffw
That fails then your update path is via Odin .

Hi, thanks alot for your time to reply to me, i have currently rooted and i have SpoofFW but when it says choose preset i dont have any in the drop down box and i need a Vodafone uk one, any help here mate?

I have posted the codes you should use in SpoofFw thread, but here you go again.
The codes can be found in the presets as UK (Vodafone) and is
Product Code: GT-I9000HKDVOD
PDA: I9000BUJG2
CSC: I9000VODVOD
Phone: I9000BUJG1
An alternative is to use Check Fus Downloader with which you can download the latest official firmware for UK Vod (I9000BUJS3) and flash that file with Odin. The app can be found in my signature.

Hi, thanks alot mate, can you please guide me through how to do it as when i try and find the preset on your app, there is none there! just blank, so i tried typing it all in and following instructions but it hasn't worked could you please explain?
It still says... This device cannot be updated and still gives me my normal product code etc...

make sure you are connected to internet when you start the app, and try use Refresh preset in the menu. also make sure you have busybox installed.
first hit Backup. put the info above in the fields. and hit step 2 ok. Then press reboot, and start the app again. put the same info as before in the fields and hit ok on step 3. Conenct to Kies.
you can send me your complete log right after hitting step1 button if anything goes wrong.

RESOLVED [Q] SIM not detected?? (ATT + polish GNOTE)

I got a GNOTE from negri on 11/9. It seems it was s polish version. It has been working wonderfully on ATT (after adding in APN manually for 3g/H+ -- voice worked out of box).
I rebooted Today (11/13) and now it has the crossed out circle instead of bars and says "Insert sim" when I start to do cellular related activities.
I have Seated and reseated; nothing. pulled the sim and put back in my SGT (phone enabled) and it works. Put back in GNOTE, still no sim detected! Stuffed SIM in my N1; it works.
Any suggestions?

I had a similar SIM card issue when I tried to activate the 1700MHz band in Service mode (for fun). Wipes and stuff didn't solve anything. The way to revert it for me was flashing a full stock Samsung firmware in Odin.

Can you provide more details on how you did this?
Where does one get a full stock sammy note firmware?
Are there some good instructions on this?
I have flashed my SGT via odin several times. Same odin? Same process?

In the development section you will find some versions.
The key for me was flashing a new Modem (Radio/base band) image via Odin I think. I changed Kernels and ROM's but only flashing a ROM including the Modem got rid of my SIM issue. Not sure because in the end I flashed a full N7000OXAKJ1 firmware in Odin from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1310513
It did the trick, though the tread is dead. I think any ROM including Modem might help, I currently running the 2.3.6 N7000ZSKK1 firmware and it is great, also included a Modem.

when this happened to me, also due to turning on 1700, I was able to reset my phone by doing a factory reset. Unless your modem.bin is corrupted, you should not have flash a new rom.
- frank.

ugh....
you mean factory reset via Settings->Privacy->Factory Reset?
Tried that... No affect. Is there another way to do this?
Was hoping to fix w/o the flash. NOTE: I did go into that service menu with the 3G Freq are listed. I was curious when I saw the post. But I never changed anything. Just saw the screen and thought "neato". I wonder if there is another service screen that has an option for 'unfuck'???
Still searching for answers, before trying the ROM route...

OMG I have the EXACT same issue as you, and I got mine from NEGRI also! It was working perfectly until last night --- all of a sudden I got that circle and I've been trying to fix it since then! Please keep me posted if you find a solution, I was going to try and contact Negri tomorrow for an RMA.

still nothing.
I did a root. No changes...
I did a rom flash of kk1 ... no changes....
I was trying to reflash the modem with KJ6 modem....but have a signature failed problem...
now what???

I solved my issue by a combo of those steps.
I did full flash in Odin of jk1. When I rebooted that didn't solve things so I wanted to flash the other recommendation, kk the Chinese rom.
Upon entering recovery I noticed I lost 2e and was on 3e. So I had to download chainfire's rooted jk1 kernel and do that zerg rush to get root. It was while I was doing that that suddenly my similar got recognized. By the time it finished installing the rooter kernel I had full reception again. I flashed kk just for good measure and its been smooth since. Hope it works for you too and I'd love to know what the heck broke it in the first place??

hi fwelland, it's hk1981...so you tried the rom flash and it didn't work?

Hi hk1981,
No the KK1 rom flashed fine. By all accounts it works well, except that pesky phone part. This KK1 rom is really 'clean' and very little bloat-ware and it installs a vanilla boot animation (not a carrier one). All that is nice, but didn't help my problem
I did notice a peculiar thing: while in recovery (android recovery, not cwm) I get some warning about "CSC something or other, fixing".
I have a short list of things to try before I have exhausted my DIY options -- the post just above looks promising.
I think the answer is out there. We just need to keep looking and keep attention on this thread and others like it. This place and others like it are a huge help and I'd like to solve it and then give back a good set of instructions.
FWIW: I wonder if there was some voodoo in the polish rom that caused some issues in the modem when a different than expected sim was installed? Or if one of those funky polish apps that updated it self before I could turn off auto-updates has something to do with it (doubt this -- I don't think apps can do stuff unless rooted...)...
Still searching....I got this other pesky problem to deal with now: w-o-r-k

I had that problem too, it doesn't detect that CSC and then goes ahead and applies something. Check to see if you are in 3e recovery, I think you are after having flashed vanilla JK1.
Re-flash Chainfire's rooted kernal for your appropriate version and then go back into recovery and it should be 3e and you can flash thru CWM then.
Also note; each time I flashed, I also wiped data/cache/davlik just to be sure.

yes it does say:
Code:
Android system recover (3e).
So I will need to try the methods you (crippenx) suggested.
FWIW, the CSC message that I get when I first enter recovery is:
Code:
# MANUAL MODE #
--Updating application...
Successfully update application.
--Appling Multi-CSC...
Installing Multi-CSC
Applied the CSC-code 'TGY'
Sucessfully applied multi-CSC.
I have no idea what this means. It does it every time I enter recovery.
FWIW, I never flashed this gnote with ODIN (I have used ODIN on my SGT several times). I got to KK1 by first rooting via http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360 (using 'forget the above steps') and then using the CWM 'kk1-wipe.zip' from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342797 -- I didn't use ODIN to get to kk1.
I see on the Root/Unroot thread, there is a KK1 kernel option for 'simple'. I think I will try that with rooted already script.
But I am open to any/all suggestions...

My rough guess is that the phone has a list of 'valid service menu options', and it cross references it with what is on the SIM card.
Once the phone decides it's not going to read your sim card, the service menu is blank. This is a real headache.
That's why once I set the 1700+2100 combo, and my phone boycotted my sim, I wasn't able to set it back.
That's really dumb, imho, to have a one way toggle like that. I'm fine for settings to enable/disable other settings, but for a setting to disable itself? ugh.
I would really like to know what's going on. I was planning on switching to AT&T before my next trip (which is soon) but I can't risk my phone glitching out like that during the trip.
Actually, the ROM is on my SD card so I guess it wouldn't be THAT horrible, but it's certainly not something I want to do. Perhaps we just need a way to flash back the modem.bin, assuming it's corrupted.
- Frank

Sorry typo on my part. You are in 3e recovery because of that base flash, now you need 2e recovery which you can get via chainfire's rooted kernel. His installation procedure runs a batch file that uses that zerg rush exploit which I gather is partially from gingerbreak. It was during this procedure that my baseband suddenly came back, my sim card finally detected.
Once that was done, I entered 2e cwm with volume up,power,middle button and did erase of data,cache,davlik and then flashed kk rom via zip file.

For me flashing all partitions via Odin worked (no pit file or repartition). Tried all sort of stuff from recovery first with no result.
I don't know what partition flash from Odin did the trick, but you could try Odin flashing a Modem separately and check if that works. If not try the rest?

Finally got back to this.
After much fusing I finally got KK1 and cwm working. It was odd, I had to re-run the whole root process again.
At that point I could apply the KJ6 modem w/o any problems (via cwm)
no dice!
Still dead!
Not sure where to go next???
Can some one provide a few details about flashing a modem,rom and/or kernel via ODIN? Perhaps that method will work....

Oh when you flashed jk1 I assumed you did it the old way via Odin and the multiple files. That's how I did it and you're right, that may be what fixed it as when I used to brick my sgs and sgs2, it was always a full Odin flash of stock that brought it back from the dead
To flash in Odin put your phone in download mode. Fire up Odin. In csc point to csc file. In phone section point to modem and for PDA you point to the code file. Don't put anything for pit or bootloader and unchecked the repartition toggle.
Connect your phone and wait for Odin to detect it and show yellow in the status window. Press start and you're good to go. Hope this does it!

No Sim Detected LG Optimus 2x :(

Hi
My phone suddenly stopped detecting all sim cards ( I have tried various working sims ).
It is running CM 7.2 and has been running cm 7.2 for a few months with no problems.
Today I took out the sim and put it back in to reboot, all was fine. I went to shower, came back and the sim suddenly stopped being detected.
I have tried to google but it seems most problems are to do with flashing a new rom and having the sim not work, my case is that the rom has been the same for a few months.
I have tried to flash different roms and I still have the same problem. I have a gut feeling it is the hardware that reads the sim that is faulty.
I have read something about a baseband, I dont know what that is but if it helps, when i go to the settings and click on 'about phone'
It says there is a baseband and it is version something. There are no question marks or anything like that.
I appreciate the help and would love some more troubleshooting suggestions.
The worst case scenario is unrooting it, flashing stock rom and send it back to warranty. I actually don't know how to do that so if anyone has a guide lying around please link me on that.

I have similar problem with new boot loader.
Download getril app from play store and see if your baseband is OK. If not, download and flash matching baseband from development thread. You will loose all personal data and your apps after flashing. Then download new ril with getril and reboot. Good luck...
This method was no helpful for me. Maybe you will have better luck.

Thanks for the reply,
When I first opened getril, it said RIL not found, I did not have one. I downloaded one and then it said RIL does not match. I then redid it on another firmware and it now says RIL and Baseband matches. Is this enough? The only weird thing is the baseband has canada and europe in it. I am from Australia. How do i tell which baseband/ril I need?

You can flash as much as you want, none of that will help. Had same issue once, flashed almost everything there was through SmartFlash, NVflash and all of that. This is what you need to do:
First, remove the battery from your phone. Write down the IMEI. Now boot up your phone, write *#06# and see if the IMEI that pops up is the same as the one you saw behind the battery. If not, let us know and I'll hand you the solution, but first check if the IMEI matches.

I checked the IMEI and it matches.
I have some extra information if it helps, when I choose a random RIL from getril, the battery might become a ? mark and the sim card not detected error doesnt show anymore, however when I put it back to the original RIL, my battery bar starts showing the 'power left' and also the sim not detecting error shows again.

First, remove the battery from your phone. Write down the IMEI. Now boot up your phone, write *#06# and see if the IMEI that pops up is the same as the one you saw behind the battery. If not, let us know and I'll hand you the solution, but first check if the IMEI matches.

I get the SIM Toolkit Incompatible Handset error and then whether I press OK or Cancel, shortly after I lose mobile network access. I've been trying all manner of different things, Smart Flashing, NVflashing, changing basebands, Rils, you name it.
I'm currently on the V30B root ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2064793 and the Ril matches the baseband from that ROM, but that hasn't helped either. So I went and check the in phone and behind battery IMEI and they are different! I'd love to hear what your solution to this is!

My problem was no service and IMEI unknown... Never managed to solve it. Reverted to old bootloader and problem solved.
Sent from my LG-P990 using xda app-developers app

IMEI Solution
If IMEI does NOT match, you will need to do this:
Check if you can get in a menu by typing 1809#*990#. If you can't, you will need to use a GB ROM (I remember I used Homero's GB NVFlash as I was on ICS bootloader and couldn't get access to it on ICS). Follow these steps if you are sure you can get into the menu:
1) Connect your phone by USB.
2) Enter 1809#*990# in dialer.
3) Select Port Setting -> Select CP USB
4) Install a program called Hyperterminal on your PC and open it. In COM settings select same port as in device manager -> LGE Mobile USB Seial Port (should be 115200)
5) Type at%imei and it should respond by saying OK
6) Now type at%imei and it should now display your current IMEI number.
7) Type at%imei=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX where X is your original IMEI number.
8) Reset phone.
You might have to reboot your phone after step 3. But see if it works without.

I have been thinking that this is a hardware issue, I have not changed a single setting/rom/baseband at all, the sim just wasnt detecting when I came back to my phone. The rom and settings were the same for a number of months.
I am now going to give it in to warranty, however it only has 1 month left. I have tried to install the stock firmware but with no luck..
I found a rom to flash for my region, it is a zip file but when I try flash it with Clockworkmod, it says installation aborted....
Shouldnt I be able to flash the roms with CWM? The file is a zip file just like the CM7.2 rom I flashed. Do I need nvflash instead? I found the rom here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1852112 (the download links were removed so I googled the exact same rom)
I was also told that if I just use the LG update tool, it sohuld automatically update the phone to stock firmware AND unroot it, only that the update tool gives me an error. Whats the best approach guys?? I need to get this fixed before my warranty goes.

Bother. The 1890 etc didn't work on the p990 in android 4.0.4 (nor on my Nexus 4 incidentally), so I guess I'll have to flash down to GB. I'll let you know if I can get it to work, thanks!

Your imei should not show in settings, it should show in the back of your battery and when you dial : *#06# into the phone (where you dial numbers for calls).
Cant help you with baseband.
OP here, I am trying to unroot my phone and put stock firmware to get warranty to fix the simcard reader ( i believe it is a hardware issue ).
If I use nvflash and flash any stock firmware I can find on the internet, will that be OK? I have a feeling each region of optimus 2x has slight differences in firmware, eg swedish stock roms and australian stock roms may differ in the default applications etc.
Will it be ok to just install any kind of stock rom for my warranty? Help would be appreciated my warranty is running out in less than a month now.
I also tried to flash stock firmware with CMW, it didnt work. I am about to try NVflash, so I went into greater detail in page 1 but no one replied yet. If you guys know please help. I am more familiar with CMW than NVflash. I have not used NVflash yet.

hahah after 2 sleeples nights i menage to restore my sim to be recognize ,whit this metod,.. NFlash rulles ))

this is also the best metod for unbricking your phone, .

INSTALLATION:
ATTENTION
The flasher with NVFlash clears all memory, including the Internal SD., so make a backup if u can..
Download this file: http://bayfiles.com/file/yKZL/eGZ31A/driver.rar The pack includes the APX driver (folder driver)
http://www.putlocker.com/file/4CEDEB7E0893B6F1
1.- Remove the battery to the phone.
2.- Press and hold Vol- and Vol+ and without releasing the 2 keys connect the USB cable to the PC
3.- Go to the progmaq-default-cm-10-20121105 folder and run flash icon... folow instruction., wait wait wait Enjoy!

I managed to get an old CM7 install back on the p990,but the above is still not working for me :/
After I finish typing in 1809#*990# in dialer, nothing happens. If I press the green phone handset icon to dial that number it comes up with an error message of "Mobile network not available".
Any further advice? Thanks.

Okay, I failed at reading comprehension – it has to be an LG Gingerbread ROM for this code to work, NOT a CM-based one!
Trying one from somewhere-I-cannot-link-to-yet

Success! Once I was back on the original stock LG Gingerbread ROM, I could reset the IMEI and make/receive calls again using this method. Thank you very much!
Now all flashed back onto a nice "working" nightly CM10.1 and a very happy little device.
Many thanks all.

Hi,
Anyone have a working link to "progmaq-default-cm-10-20121105 ". My Optimus 2x has been bricked as well, and can't find any other version of this on Google unfortunately
Appreciate all help.
