Hi ,
Currently i'm using the stock rom from vodafone portugal, when i go to settings and chose restore defaults after rebooting i loose some settings like voicemail number and such.
I analised the csc file and it contains those settings.
Any idea how to fix this, i already reflashed the phone but after reseting it does the same thing.

Sometimes doing a factory restore on you phone ****s the rom. This has happend to me once I tried to sell my phone and restore it, I had to flash a new rom and I never worried about going back to stock Portugal TMN rom I orignally had.
By the way, I remember my froyo rom from TMN Portugal had a great stock ringtone which I loved, can you tell me what is the default ringtone from your rom? XD

[Q] [HELP] No 3G and can't send text messages

Hi all,
I am new to android but I used to mod my motorola V3 and also jailbreak my iphone so I am not a complete n00b
Thing is I just flashed [ROM] Release: I9000XWJM9 - MultiCSC(s) Europe to my phone. It is a Spanish i9000 GT galaxy S. The flash went well and the phone works, it is fast and smooth. But now I have some issues.
1. There is no 3G, (I can make calls but no data)
2. I can't send text messages (I can receive them but not send them)
3. Cant' root it - I have gone through the process several times, it says rooting phone, but then in applications there is no superuser logo. I downloaded Titanium backup to restore my apps and it says that the phone is not rooted???
Where have I gone wrong?

Did you create the APN settings?
you need to configure the APN before you can get 3G and MMS

Hi and thanks for your reply. No I didn't create the APN settings, I thought it was something to do with carrier settings. Could you please post me a link to information on how to do this...
Any thoughts on why I can't root my phone?
Update: Thanks for the tip, I did a quick search and located the APN settings for my carrier. I still can't root my phone though which is strange. It goes through the motions but there is no superuser icon????
[Resolved] Flashing different rom
Thanks for the help, I downloaded the same ROM but from samfirmware and then I flashed it using a generic CSC file and I had no problems rooting it.

hi..i have the same problem. I do not have the 3g in my phone i dont know why. can you tell me what rom did you install?

(Resolved) Unable to connect to 3g with good APN, after flash

Hello all and thanks for your future help
So today i flash a friend's SGS, his phone run on SFR network (from france) with the DJP5 firmware with the combo fully fonctional.
So i flash a JM5, then the JS3 and i flash my rom kitchen from doc, custom JS3 with JPY modem and XEF CSC.
All is fine, the phone reboot, I flash speedmod Kernel k13a, reboot and set the good network and BAM.
Could not connect to 3g whatever i do.
I try different APN, then I reset to the first one (normaly the good one) but nothing.....
I try different modem (JPE, JPY and JPX) nothing work at all, i'm unable to connect 3g......
First time i see this problem, even if i flash my phone ten time a week.....
So I hope you could help me
Thanks in advance !
Nobody can help me? No idea?
I have the same kind of problem with mine. APN info is perfect. Settings are for GSM&WCDMA. I have no problem with WIFI and EDGE works fine so it'll still transfer data. It's with Darky's 9.2 ROM though so it may have something to do with the JS3 firmware customisations.
I've cleared cache and dalvik cache as well and I get the 3g symbol up for a moment but when it actually starts to transfer data, it switches to EDGE.
I'm re-flashing Darky's firmware without wipe just to see if it's an issue with my altering twframework.apk for a cool notification window background. I'll pop back on this one tomorrow and let you know how that went just to see if the first one was a bad flash. I have read that there can be more issues with flashing through CWM then through Odin but I think I'll wait and see if that's necessary.
hey i got kinda same problem..!!! :-| i have SGS i9000 in India...today i installed darky's ROM for the first time...installed 9.2 extreme version....but after that i just cant connect to a data network...not even Edge network.... if i update APN settings manually & reboot...still they are not saved...tried switching data network on & off million times also switching flight mode on & off....in hope that it will connect to my data network but just wont work..!!!
Have you all set the user names for the apn settings? I wasn't connecting either until I verified the usermame and password were correct.

Ok, here's the problem. It's the CSC. I know it bites but you're going to have to go through a system reset. The custom firmwares come with multi-csc (wipe versions) so enter your dial pad and type *#272*(your imei)# then select a CSC for your country or something like XEU which is what I did. Then, enter recovery, clear cache and dalvik cache. Finally, re-enter your APN.
Hope that does it for you. It worked for me as my CSC was XXOJPY (Darky's ROM) and set to KOR. I know I'll be keeping this in mind the next time I flash a new wipe ROM. Oh and do a backup beforehand, just in case.
If this helps, feel free to hit the thanks button
i always use the my region CSC.. my case the nordic one.. tried multi CSC but had various problems too..

There-in lies the problem. Generally it's a "set it and forget it" kind of thing but in the case of a rom that's going to wipe everything, you need to reset it.
Thanks for your reply! I
I've got all my apn 's settings right but I found a solution. The csc was multi and flash by the rom, so I flash and xef csc by odin and it works for me
Maybe it work for you
Thanks again for your help!

[Q] tmobile uk help needed

Hi ,
My girlfriend has had her galaxy s for about 4 months i recently flashed darkys rom onto it, with no problems (excellent rom btw), but now the phone has started doing menu and back on its own randomly making it impossible to do anything on it for longer than a few minutes , its like the soft keys are being pressed (but they arent of course).
I've had a google and came to the conclusion its a hardware fault and not software (ive tried factory reset / re-flashing roms/ kernels) but now i have the problem i cant send the phone back to tmobile with a custom firmware so is there anywhere i can download tmobile firmware and stock kernel to make it like when she got it ?
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
In the General chat, there is a link to all the stock roms. Select the one you want and install that one. I am on t mobile in the uk and my code is TMU so that will most likely be fine for you.
By the way - Its exactly what I did last month and they fixed it fine for me with no questions...

hi thanks for the quick response , ive already installed a stock firmware but when the phone boots up it doesnt do the tmobile logo now, plus the firmware i have installed, i'm not sure if thats ever been available on tmobile , which firmware did you send your phone back to them with if you dont mind me asking ?
Hi,
I used the JP1 stock rom here. I remember now that once I installed the stock one I used the Kies registry hack to put the latest t-mobile firmware on there. Then it was branded T-Mobile again. The only problem is that now kies has been updated the Registry hack may not work.
If I were to send you a nandroid backup of my original T-Mobile rom (I did that when I got a new one!) Would that help?
CtC
I would blame the rom before the hardware and want a wipe to a very clean phone and install a stock rom .
You cannot download TMobile firmware you need somebody to give it to you unless you backed up your original firmware .
The only way to get TMobiles firmware would be to downgrade your phone to stock Eclair then use Kies to update as normal to Froyo branded TMobile or if that failed use the registry patch .
Fix on a non stock rom is going to depend on the guy that picks the phone up and the problem .

"If I were to send you a nandroid backup of my original T-Mobile rom (I did that when I got a new one!) Would that help? "
It would be brilliant if you could do that, how can you send it though ?
@ jjegan i have completely wiped the phone, changed the firmware to 2.1update1 same problem still exists with the soft keys randomly pressing themselves thanks anyway .
can any one give me some advice about making this phone look as stock uk tmobile as possible before i send it back ?

Network Error after 2.1 unbranded flashed

Hi all, well, here is my problem.
I have my stock rom 2.1 eclair from Personal, Argentina, and i flash the phone to put the 2.1 ARO (Unbranded). After the flash, the phone works great for a while, then i lost connection, and i coulnt connect to my network anymore. I couldnt performs calls, sms, or whatever related with communication. I only have wifi.
If i access to Mobile Networks -> Net Operators, the phone keeps searching and never retrieve the list of network operators. My apn list is empty, and i couldnt add new ones, mannually or by APN Restore & Backup software. The network mode is not selected, but if i choose one mode, it doesnt selected it.
I Flashed the phone with Odin, with and without repartition, but it still having errors.
Any one can help me?
Factory reset first .
jje
i've performed a factory reste, but nothing happends...
try to deactivate the mobile data and restarting the phone this worked once for me, if that doesnt work i would suggest trying another rom this also worked once for me. And if all else fails then your gonna have to send it back for repair, i had to do that last time this happened. I put on the 2.2 update from my carrier and told them that the phone messed up after updating.
The endless searching for a carrier is normal, but you should be able to enter apns manually. Search for the code to check IMEI and confirm you have one listed.
If you have a backup of your efs file, you can restore that and see if it solves the problem, or load an Argentinian csc file (they may have one in the ROM Kitchen that you can cook as an update.zip) .

[Q] 3G won't turn on ...?

I rooted my phone yesterday and when my phone wouldn't boot up the rom I installed, I tried to reinstall the backup I had.
After that didn't work, I used odin to flash a stock ROMI downloaded on the internet and it is working now.
The stock rom I downloaded upgraded my phone from android 2.3.3 to 2.3.6. I don't know if that would make a difference.
So after this was all done, I realised I can't connect to 3g or any mobile network.
Why is this?
How can I fix it?
I live in Ireland so maybe it has something to do with the Stock ROM being from a different country?
Sorry, I am a noob at this kind of thing.
If anyone could help me, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks in advance.

Hey,
The CSC (what country the rom is from) doesn't matter, I'm running a stock 2.3.6 rom from the UK even though I'm in New Zealand
Try first going into
Settings -> About Phone -> Status.
Scroll until you see IMEI. If this is odd (maybe XXs in the number code or its different), then that explains why your phone can't connect to any network. Maybe from a bad flash- there a tutorials on these forums on how to recover your IMEI.
Also in this menu check your signal status- whether it says "Connected" or "Disconnected" in Network Status or whatever.
Alternatively, go to
Settings -> Wireless and Network -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names.
In here are your APNs- the network "gateways" that your phone connects to for 3G and so on. Make sure these are configured correctly- if not, your provider's website should tell you how to set these up nicely.
Hope I helped
