Recovered from camera problem...now dealing with network issue!! PLEASE HELP!! - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

A few months ago, i had the non-function problem with my camera after using the firmware update code, on my SG I9000. I resolved that with some help from a friend, by downgrading to Eclair (JM1_JM1_U_JM1.tar) and switching the camera files - the usual method. After reboot, the camera was working fine but appeared the problem with the network - "NO SERVICE".
Till now, I used different versions of android (Eclair, Froyo, Gingerbread) to fix it without any luck.
If you know any other method, i'll owe you one big time.
Thanx!
Note: I have to say that, before having the camera issue, I unlocked my rooted phone using "GALAXY_S UNLOCK" from Android Market.

maybe you can try to flash your phone to the latest firmware such as XXJVU by using odin.

have you rooted your phone again after using different android version? if not, try rooting it, then unlock it with apps from the market, this would fix the "no service" problem.
you could also try flashing it with a different modem.

Yes, I've tried different versions of firmware...even the latest one, but no luck until now.
Thanx for the answer!

I tried flashing with different modem but without any good result until now. Today I'll try again with a different modem (something with a file "7zip" transformed in a folder ".tar"...I'm new with this, i know nothing about it so a friend is helping me).
If this doesn't work, I'm trying the rooting method you're telling me about.
Thanx for all!

The JVT modem is pretty god as well. you can flash the tar or zip files by using sgs kernel flasher from market or by odin.

Thanx guys!
It seems that I resolved it, using the I9000XXJVU_I9000OXAJVU_OXA modem (Open Europe). At first, when the phone rebooted there was no signal...it appeared that the problem persisted, but now, after the factory reset (*2767*3855# ) everything seems to work just fine.
Still, I don't remember if SGS signal icon shows the 3G indicator in the upper taskbar (like the SGS 2), because mine doesn't! Can anyone confirm if it's wright or not?
Last edit: It seems the 3G doesn't work, as i tried to access the internet an icon pops saying "No network connection / Cannot connect to internet. Please check your connection settings and try again" - "Settings" and "Ok". If I press "Settings", it takes me to the "Wireless and Network" Menu.
SO, ANY CLUE?
Thanx again!

Have you tried flashing a different modem? What carrier are you on and what modem are you currently using?
Had a bit of a browser glitch, there were zero replies a minute ago.

I'm using an Orange Romania prepay card...and now the installed version is I9000XXJVU (the latest 2.3.6 - Open Europe).
I have signal but without 3G, i think, cause the internet connection doesn't work...only wi-fi does.

with the 3g problem, i think you need to edit your apn settings.
settings > wireless and network > mobile network settings > access point names
this is network specific and you might want to check it with your provider

I'll check the APN settings later today, after work, and if the problem persist I'll take it to Orange Romania.
I'll let you know the result!

I got home, set on my SGS the same APN settings from the SGS-2 I'm using now with the Orange Romania card, and it seems to work...at least I don't get the "No network connection / Cannot connect to internet" message anymore and the H/3G icon now appears near the signal icon in the upper taskbar.
I stiil have to run some tests to be 100% sure it really works.
I'll be in touch!

[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

Flash back to 2.2.1

Continue on..
Also the problem you had when flashed JPU sounds like you didnt have your APNs correct..thats why the "no data network available"

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?

[Q] No mobile signal after CM9 + modem, but can see networks

I flashed the latest CM9 nightly two days ago, and everything seems to work great other than that I have no mobile signal. I am an Australian Optus user, and I tried it both with the modem that came with CM9 and with the one I believe is for my country, which is XXJQ3 by flashing that.
In both situations, I can scan for networks and see all three carriers just fine, but it shows no signal, just an "x" in the middle of the signal triangle, nor does it show which carrier it is connected to. I cannot make emergency calls because it says no mobile network is available.
Is this a modem baseband/firmware problem ? I am guessing not, because I would think that if it can physically see the networks, then the modem must be working right ? But if so, why can it not connect to anything ? The modem firmware I am using is for ICS and I believe it is the correcto one for my region, and I have enabled everything in the modem settings but still it will not connect to any network. Why ?

did you have try replace/update the modem radios from this? http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_Tab_(GSM):_Support_Downloads
you can try a different modem, It doesn’t matter if you prefer another modem, you can flash another modem, you can try flash any modem file you want, it's will not brick your tab
If you had, but still not working, then go to dialer, put this code *#*#4636#*#*, pick tablet information, try turn of the radio then turn on again and try to fix permission on cwm too.
good luck.

Thanks. Tried all your suggestions. Yes, that is where I obtained my XXJQ3 modem, which I flashed via CWM. I tried your other tip of turning the radio off and on again and then fixing permissions in CWM but to no avail. Still no mobile signal.
Is it correct to assume that if the device can scan for networks and see networks, then the modem is working ? The information screen you directed me to says "emergency calls only", but I cannot actually make an emergency call because it says "mobile network not available", so even though it can "see" three networks, it cannot connect to any of them to either get a signal or make emergency calls.
What does this mean ? Surely it has the right frequencies set otherwise it wouldn't see the networks at all, right ? Is this a CM9 bug in the nightly I flashed or something ? Wondering where to look. I get the feeling the modem is working fine and that something else is wrong.
I use the jlv modem from the vibrant phone.
But jpz modem is also OK for optus.
Why not do Android backup for safe keep, then restock using gb stock safe from overcome guide, and flash jpz modem to try.
If it is the same, then it is hardware related.

Oh my god. The reason it didn't work work is so stupid I had to headdesk when I realised. The SIM I was using was old and had been disabled. The reason I didn't think it mattered, is that in Gingerbread, it would still register and show reception bars and I could make emergency calls with the old SIM, or indeed even without a SIM in the device at all. But in ICS, none of that was the case, and it would not register and not let me make emergency calls without a valid SIM.
I guess I was just making a stupid assumption that SIM-less emergency calls that worked in GB would also work in ICS. Stupid me.
Everyone can make mistakes or forget something, but you should thank all the users who give you answers.

Ok, since posting i have managed to Update the fiirmware to 2.3.3 gingerbread using odin. But am still unable to use it on o2/Tesco mobile or even on Tmobile now! Emergency calls only, and gives the error (mobile network not available). I might be wrong, but i suspect something like the firmware for the modem or something?..

[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

[Q] S i9000 unable to connect to network

Hi, I'm hoping you can help. Total noob so please bear with me.
I got a Si9000, it says it is unlocked.
When putting in sim card I got data network not available error.
Installed S1_Odin_20100512.pit
In PDA option I put in code_i9000XXJVS_CL565837_REV03_USER_LOW_SHIP.tar
For phone option I put in modem_i9000XXJVS_REV_00_CL1059471.tar
For CSC option I put in GT-i9000-CSC-MULTI-OXAJVS.tar
After I was told to type in *2767*3855# to reset phone.
Phone has been updated to 2.3.5, but now getting not able to connect to network error. It says mobile network unavailable. Any Ideas?
Thanks
have you checked that you have the correct settings for the network you want to use and also check that you have a valid IMEI number

Yep, but wifi is the only thing thats working. No data or mobile network, no GPRS either
Which network are you with and what settings do you have in APN ?
Would recommend ...flashing Rom and Re-Rooting*
I am wondering if it's just something in the connection settings. When I went to Japan last year I had to fiddle with something in the settings before I could pick up signals. It was in mobile networks. I think you can select cdma or something like that.

Im with Go Conquer in Ireland, actually brought the phone to a shop to be unlocked, as it was Vodafone, but they said it already was unlocked. They have their settings up on their website so I have entered them.
I'm going to try putting it back to its original settings again, and rooting it again, do you think that might be it? Ill also try the cdma settings.
Thanks to you both
Follow my Guide below to flash Rom and then Root it
Why did you go to a shop to unlocked it ...theres apps on here free??
Did you manage to get it right again? I'm having the same issue as you do. I did a factory reset with cwm and now when I enter the sim card it doesnt connect to network or 3g. Wifi does work. I am on original rom 2.3.5 and I dont know what to do. I tried a other sim and that didnt work either. Please advice. Thank you.

Are you sure to have flashed ROM with proper CSC bandwidth for the region where you live?
Hi,
Thank you all for replying! For some unknown reason the phone works. I left it a day off and then I powered it up again and it worked. So I dont know how but thank you guys for replying!
