I upgraded from icssgs 3 to 4.2 abd ever since i get no reception at all. No data, no calls no nothing. Wifi works though.
I have tried since and flashing several different roms and the problem persists. Has anyone had this problem before or does anyone have a possible solution?

Have you tried factory reset, cache wipe, advanced and dalvik cache wipe, and then re-flashing rom? Are you using teamhacksung build 16?
risking to sound stupid, by " No data, no calls no nothing" you mean "no signal"?
if you've tried the solution suggested by am2012, have you tried installing a different modem?
try flashing a modem...u can get one from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1158783&highlight=bootloaders
I have tried wiping and reflashing. I have also tried flashing different roms with different modems.
I reflashed the last rom that worked but the problem persisted.
I have had thoughts of flashing a rom with odin instead of cwm but i dont know if it should make a difference?
Thanx for the replys btw, all help is very appreciated.

Try wiping and resetting everything. Then put phone into download mode and odin a stock ROM. Then if things work start working again with your signal, flash rc4.2 again. I have flashed loads of ics roms and never had a problem I couldn't fix by going back to stock ROM. Try 2.3.6 the 'leaked one' from Sammobile.
By the way, you have got a i9000 international version haven't you?

Hey, just realised you have i9100. Have you used the right ROM for your phone? Does icssgs release for i9100?
Sent from my GT-i9000 using XDA App
Is ur imei at its place ???
If you've got an sII then icssgs is never going to work - go back to sII rom.
If you've got an sI then as sbnaul pointed out it is most probably your IMEI. Some users found their IMEI changed when upgrading to 4.2
Hopefully you've taken a backup of your efs - if so just copy the backup imei file over.
If not, there is still hope - flash stock gb 2.3 back onto the phone - this should restore the imei. Then take a backup of the efs folder, flash 4.2 and copy your backed up imei into efs
Thanks for the help.
I have 2 phones, one internarional sgs and an international s2.
I mostly use the s2 but i want the sgs to work nonetheless
Im gonna try reflashing the stock, i dont have any efs backups or such:/
I have been looking for a good stock rom but didnt find a good one. Im gonna look for the leaked sammobile release though so thanks for that.
How do i take the needed efs backup? Is it through cwm?
Thanks!

I'm quite sure that this is a modem issue...
If you know, which ROM were you using previous to ICS where the reception was fine, then you can flash that modem.
(For eg.: it was 2.3.6 XXJVU in my case. So, I would require a JVU modem)
Here is a concise list of all the modems: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1158783

Thanks alot everybody to answered the thread.
There we go. Now it works again. I didnt even have to restore the efs folder.
I just flashed the stock rom, rooted and then flashed icssgs 4.2 and now it works.
Thanks everyone

I've heard if you flash a stock ROM with Odin, then the problem with the IMEI (efs folder) is often done. Is this right?

So if I reinstall the stock ROM from another Galaxy Ace (same one this thing shipped with), the phone doesn't boot, at all.
I put Cyanogen back on, and it boots fine, but my data connection never works and my voice/messaging connection constantly craps out and I need to reimage again. (Weird...if I go back to a working image, then reinstall my current one, it works fine.)
I'm at a loss...but I'm only one step away from returning it anyway.

Something like that, only it doesn't loop. When I load up a stock rom, it simply hangs at he startup "Samsung Galaxy Ace" screen.
after installing your stock rom wipe your cache and dalvik it will work , if not , use odin and flash a different stock firmware first may be KPN or KPH
Irishred is that the stock koodo 2
3.4 rom? I've been looking everywhere for that, could you post a link maybe as I'm sure there are others looking for this also.

Well, if you can't flash the stock rom, there's only one thing to do then.
Use ODIN. T_T
It'll push your recovery back to the stock crap too, but then again, there's no reason why it shouldn't work, anyway.
there might be case that it works but you are too lazy to find solution for it to work
what problem you have when you flash stock roms with odin??
You have to flash via Odin, because your internal memory was formated to ext and the stock rom uses a different (I don´t really know which is used by stock rom, but you can google it.)

EXT format issue ?
Just a thought...
I once installed a Cyanogen rom on a Galaxy S that changed something in the memory - and stock rom was not working afterwards. I had to go back to Cyanogen. Too bad if you're planning on selling it in stock rom condition.
The only way back was to find a stock rom that contained the whole package - including correct pit file, pda, modem and a repartition of memory.
Flashed via Odin.
Is it a one file/multiple files package? Kernel update?
I hope any of this is can help you solve the problem.
It is a one file package. Password is sampro.pl. It is multi-csc for koodo & telus. Mine loaded up telus so i had to change it. It works great. I will go back to myth ics rom. Its just nice to know that if I need to return to stock I can.

Wow, been looking for this
Will give it a try, Thanks!
Edit: Works great, all back to stock Koodo (temporarily). Thanks again for posting Spider, XD
just to add...
I experimented with a few custom ROMs but they rendered some functionalities un-usable. I tried to recover from a full system and data backup which failed.
From that: 1)Followed instructions from androidadvices.com (androidadvices.com/update-samsung-galaxy-ace-s5830-xwks9-gingerbread-235-firmware/-- page 2) But used stock ROM for Koodo (GT-S5830D S5830DTLKI4) from spidre9909's post;
-- a download link to ODIN is included...
2)Rooted the phone and re-installed Clockwork;
3)Restored my full backup created just before my trials with custom ROMs
Now I am back! At this point, follow unroot procedures — if you want to…
Hope this helps...
DXKPB is the firmware I know that includes data.rfs (which means your /data would get formatted with rfs, and that means stock ROM will love your phone again)

it's interesting you mention that your wireless connection doesn't work properly. I flashed the newest firmware (something from vietnam I think) and the same thing ... my connection keeps waffling back and forth from H to 3G to nothing at all.
Upgraded my SGS stock 2.3.3 yesterday to CM9 nightly posted on 07-06-2012. I love the ROM, but the only problem is - i don't have any network signal on my phone. Wifi works. It seems to scan the mobile networks and registers also and creates APN connections automatically. But on selecting any of the networks, it shows the message: "unable to connect to this network at this time. Please try again later." The IMEI number shows up correctly. Using Vodafone India network.
I feel it should be just a minor setting somewhere that is missing...
Does anyone know how to make this work?
...or should i switch back to the stock ROM, and maybe later to CM7? I'm on Linux. Found XXJVU ROM in Heimdall format. Do i need to install clockwork again after installing XXJVU?
Thanks in advance.
Wipe again.Flash again.
hey! make a copy from the zip file of the ROM and replace the file (apns-conf.xml) which is uploaded here as a zip file with the file (apns-conf.xml) in this directory "System/etc". it worked for me and i wish it will work for u bro.
send me if it work with u or not.
Why you don´t install de modem from the your ROM stock 2.3.3 ( via Odin ) ?
I think the new modem ICS is not compatible with the system of their country.
Tell me how you solved your problem.

Before upgrading I had taken the back up of EFS Pro application, after upgrading since EFS Pro was not detecting my mobile. I had installed root explorer on my mobile and copied the EFS data into /efs folder but it did not helped.
So i was testing out one of my ports which doesnt boot. I went to format data through mounts and storage, overshot and formatted my internal sd. So now, i cant boot into system, and cant put a .zip onto my phone. So i flashed semaphore with odin, then used my moms sd card to try to flash a rom from. But now it just boots into recovery. I cant find any ics roms to flash with odin. So i have to go back to stock.. I have the stock samfirmware file (I9000XXKG3-HomeBinary.tar) (<- something like that). But there is no one package option in odin. Help appreciated.

After flashing one of the roms obove, all should be fine again and you can start flashing the rom you originially wanted ;-)
I figured out my first problem, I flashed kg3 cause I forgot that my i9000 is international, not a Canadian one. (Even though I'm in Canada).
So I will flash JVU like it originally was and then flash the darky rom.

I upgraded last night to Jelly Bean using these instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1775373&page=11 . The last ROM i had flashed was a gingerbread Apex ROM a long time ago, and I think it had i9000 bootloaders (I think this because an i9000 screen pops up first thing when i turn it on, before the devil kernel logo pops up). I ran in to some issues while upgrading so I used Heimdall 1 click without bootloaders to get me back to stock gingerbread and then when I flashed Jelly Bean and the Devil Kernel everything worked (camera, music, etc.) except it doesn't detect any wireless carrier, APNs aren't saved, it doesn't detect when I take my SIM card out, and it also shuts down randomly. I suspect the problem is with the i9000 bootloaders, but what I have read on this forum makes me think installing new bootloaders is somewhat dangerous so I wanted to get advice before I tried anything else. How should I try to fix this? And if I do need new bootloaders, what is the safest way?

Will do as soon as I get home from work. Should I use the same Heimdall method?
While you are in Ginger Bread, you should back up your EFS Folder. I believe that your IMEI was changed in the flash process, and the network could not recognize your phone. In should a case, you could copy the backup of your EFS folder to your JB phone, and restore the IMEI.

I used titanium backup before I flashed, and also copied all of the contents of my internal and external sd cards to my computer before tinkering with things. So do I already have my EFS Folder? If so, how do I restore it? And if not, how do I back it up when I get back to GB?
For anyone else that might come across this problem, I solved it by flashing this modem, then flashing the kernel again

Hi everyone,
Recently my phone loses IMEI after flashing any ROM, even after flashing kernel only (Semaphore 3.0.0 on CM10.1.3, for example). I have flashed the phone many of times before with different ROMs, kernels, sounds, fonts, animations, etc., but never had this issue before. Something has changed and I don't know what it is. It's getting annoying I just did a full cycle by the book: Format int/ext storage -> One-click stock ROM -> One-click Corn kernel -> Cyanogen 10.1.3 Stable (flash to repartition, flash the again). The phone works perfectly. Flashed another JB ROM to test, the same one I have flashed many times before with no issues (HellyBean 4.2.2, CM-based), and bam - lost IMEI again!
I have no problem restoring IMEI. The question is why the phone loses IMEI now after ROM change but never before?
What you describe suggests something has changed in the install scripts on either the CM or Helly roms.
It seems like flashing 10.1.2. instead of .3 would test CM as cause.
sent from one of my two SGH-I897 Captivates
I was thinking about this, it started somewhere around CM 10.1.2. But if the cause is changes in CM installation, then am I the only one experiencing this issue? I don't see many comments about lost IMEI on 4.2.2 ROMs. Yes, I know it happens, but not on every flash. I tried flashing Xylon 2.3.3 ROM, the one I flashed at least 3 times before with no issues, and same thing - lost IMEI. Seems like EFS is now in a place that gets wiped every time I flash something.
I tried installing cyanmod 4.2.2 and lost my imei. So I flashed back to 2.3.5 I think ill leave it where its at
