[Q] In Mexico. Which modem for Telcel? - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Serendipity 6.4
Kernel: 2.6.32.9 - [email protected] #32
Baseband Version: I9000UGJK4
Firmware: 2.2.1
And I've also tried
Serendipity VII Build 3
Firmware: 2.3.3
Baseband: I9000TUBJV6
This phone was unlocked and it worked just fine in Taiwan.
I'm now in Baha Mexico, I have a Telcel SIM card, but it just does not work. And I absolutely must get this to work because checking email is critical for me. I don't know what to do. Do I need to update my modem? Which one do I need to update to?
1. My APN settings are all correct for Telcel:
Name: Internet
APN: internet.itelcel.com
Username: webgprs
Password: webgprs2002
MCC: 334
MNC: 020
Authentication Type: PAP
APN Type: Internet
2. I show signal on the signal bar, but no 3G or 1X. It says "Emergency Calls Only."
3. When I go dial the number to activate (*333) I get "Data Network Not Available"
4. When I search for the available Network Operators, Telcel pops up, but if I click on it I get "Unable to connect. Try again later." and "unable to select network. Select automatically." This happens over and over.
5. I called Telcel and it is confirmed that they are still waiting on me to dial in and activate my SIM card, using *333. The problem is, I can't dial in.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

Hope I helped
Is your IMEI correct, ive seen that cause problems so make sure you dont have the generic one as that will allow you to connect to some networks but not all, also if you keep having problems i'd suggest odin back to stock (that for sure Works on Telcel's network and if your IMEI is missing it might even give it back)and then update back up SlimBean seams to work quite well for me. Hope i helped, would have answered earlier but just bearly stumbbled on to this thread

The two most common causes for 'no network' after a new wrong are :
1)no APN configured
2) wrong baseband file/ config
The APN you can check in your network settings. The baseband files can be set from an OpenRecovery like Androidiani. You could also flash a carrier/country specific update.zip. many are available in the forums.
I am sorry if you have already checked these 2 things. Your post does not mention them and they are, by far, the most common question asked after flashing a customer ROM.

[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
Check imei
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?

(MMS And Send/Receive Picture Fix) Get Your Messaging working on 2.3.4 HKTW

Go to Mobile network settings and go to SMSC Settings and put in +13123149810 click update. This number is for ATT US. Try looking up your SMSC Android settings on your carrier and putting it in andn hopefully it works. If not try restarting and see if it works then. Make sure u have all of your APN settings setup for your carrier 2.

I upload my APN for AT&T, (Update) Should be able to send and receive pictures and video to and from people for At&t only!
Download ApnManager From Market.
Put ApnManager Folder in to the internal sdcard.
Open ApnManager and click resort APN. See if u can now send and receive, If not try restarting.
My old APN had Custom Tethering that messed up Picture Messaging! You can try deleting that if u can't send or receive pictures!2.
This doesn't work for me. My SMSC number was already the one you listed, and MMS doesn't work still...
so how many APN's are listed on your setting....i have 4 (AT&T US, AT&T HSDPA, AT&T US Tether, AT&T US MMS)
i get mms now, but i got a much slower speed. around 1MB download and upload speed.
also, which one are you generally suppose to be connected to? I'm connected to AT&T US
EDIT: Actually i just found out, after about 10 minutes, your phone should be fully logged into their server. I live in Las Vegas so the territory has VERY fluctuant connection, i had moments where id get 7.2MB and then jumps down to 0.8MB. Alright, so the apn worked perfectly.
i had to enter a mms apn for fido to get mms working, smsc number was already there for my carrier. here's the settings.
Fido mms
apn: mms.fido.ca
mmsc http://mms.fido.ca
mms proxy: 205.151.011.013
mcc: 302
mnc: 370
apn type: mms
Still having issues sending and receiving MMS, I had it working previously but don't know what has changed. I've got everything set correctly per the instructions. Does anyone have any other possible solutions... though I did find it a tad weird that it still says 4.1.83 for Systerm Version, but my build number correctly reflects that it's 2.3.4. Please help.
flashing the 1.97 radio and using the supplied apn's worked for me. After a reboot.

maybe trying doing a fresh install of 2.3.4, start by flashing back to 4.1.83. it doesnt sound right that it still says 4.1.83 after you install 2.3.4, might be a bad flash. my system version is 45.3.0.mb860.retail.en.05 after flashing 2.3.4.
I am also still having trouble with my mms...I did a clean flash to 2.3.4 and updated the radio, but I am still not able to view picture messages. My apn's appear to be set correctly...any ideas?
The instructions in the OP worked for me. I had a clean install of 2.3.4 HKTW, new radio, with the v1.8 update rollup fix, and mms would not work.
1. Download APN Manager
2. Copy the folder in the OPs zip file to your Internal SD
3. Open APN Manager and do a Restore
4. Reboot phone
My APN settings were the same before I did this, but it would not work until I followed these instructions.

Please HELP! AT&T service is gone after Overcome Flash

Hi I have the ATT Galaxy Tab Model SGH-i987 That I just flashed with Overcome 4.0.0 exactly per the instructions provided by Alterbridge86 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1881981 I checked and double checked each step before proceeding and even installing the "AT&T JK3 Modem.bin file in Odin as instructed.
Everything went smooth and everything seems to work including WiFi except, I have no AT&T data service at all. No Edge, no 3G, no H, nothing... :crying:
Thanks,
Tom
I also noticed that all my AT&T apps and widgets are gone even though I did a backup with Titaniun Backup as instructed.
well, if you backup, you need to restore.
But be aware that Overcome is GB based, your AT&T stuff is Froyo based.
You may not get it restored and working properly.
Now, do you have WiFi? As in not AT&T cellular. the 802.11g thing.
Can you make call and send sms?
what does it say under baseband in the phone info?

Thanks for the reply... I restored what the overcome instructions told me to back up however, none of the AT&T apps or widgets where among them. My impression based on the instructions for the Overcome Flash was that my AT&T AT&T data plan would work. Out of the instructions I quote " The Overcome ROM/Kernel is intended for GSM-based Samsung GAlaxy Tabs Only! (GT-P1000/T-Mobile*/AT&T*/Telstra* Tabs Only) * Please use the appropriate modems when flashing!
Later it says to flash with the JK3 Modem.bin file which I did. Like I said, I followed the instructions exactly checking each step before proceeding. I had NO errors or hang ups in the installation and everything PASSED and is working fine except that I have no AT&T data service.
WiFi works on my home network. Here is the info requested:
Model Number now says: GT-P1000 before upgrade it was SGH-i987
Baseband Version is now: I9000UGK3 before upgrade it was I987UCK1
Kernel version is now: 2.6.357 Overcome-v4.0.0 #40 before upgrade it was 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #1
Build Number is now: Overcome 7 Series v4.1.0 before upgrade it was FROYO.UCJK1
This is the other info I have now:
Phone number: Same as before upgrade
Network: AT&T
Signal Strength: -92 dBm 9asu
Mobile Network Type: HSDPA
Service State: In Service
Roaming: Not Roaming
Mobile Network State: Disconnected
IMEI: Same as before Upgrade
IMEI SV: 05 this was 02 before upgrade
Network Mode is GSM/WCDMA
I also tried manually setting network operators. When searching two AT&T come up. When I select one of the two AT&T manually it says "your SIM does not allow a connection on this network." It registers to the other just fine however. When I "Select Automatically" It also seems to work.
I tried removing the SIM but all that does is want the Tab to go into initial reboot. when I reinserted the SIM and rebooted nothing had changed.
I can not make calls. An AT&T voice prompt comes up and says "The call you are trying to place is not allowed from this line."
I can also not send or receive SMS messages although I receive no errors. This however may be due to the fact that I previously called AT&T months ago and told them I did not want to receive SMS messages because I was getting all kinds of Spam messages every day and getting charged for them.
I am hoping that maybe phdeez can also chime in here since he says he has the Tab with AT&T. Here is my initial post to XDA that convinced me to update. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1982476
Thanks,

you can try these:
1) go to the modem thread in dev section
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1069727
first post has something called AT&T stock modem.
I am not sure if it is the same as Overcome JK3
Actually I would expect JK3 modem to have a "JK3" in the baseband, doesn't it?
Use CWM to flash that one from modem thread and see what the baseband said
(it better say I987UCK1 because it is stock...)
2. make sure you have AT&T APN correctly set.
about not able to make phone call, I think AT&T maintain a list of IMEI and know that you have a tablet. It is too bad that you can't make call, but the modem thing hopefully solve the 3G.
One note to you just as extra knowledge (not needed now), the CWM flashable modem only works for stock (so called BML partition) ROM, like Overcome.
When you move on to CM9 or CM10 (MTD partition rom), you only need to use root explorer to copy the modem.bin to /radio/modem.bin

I agree with what priyana has stated above.
I believe ATT maintains a list of IMEIs to block calling, however there might be a workaround with a different SIM - calling did NOT work before the upgrade, right?
Possible Modem issue, however since you see networks, you're probably good
APN Settings are likely blocking internet
See here for APN settings for ATT link, however I would combine the settings into one APN since you're not using the phone function. So, the APN should look like:
Code:
Name: ATT
APN: wap.cingular
Proxy: wireless.cingular.com
Port: 80
Username: -
Password: -
Server: -
MMSC: http://mmsc.cingular.com/
MMS Proxy: wireless.cingular.com
MMS Port: 80
MCC: 310
MNC: 410
Authentication Type: -
APN Type: mms,supl,default,internet
APN Protocol: ipv4
I wish I could speak from experience on using my Tab with ATT Data (or with Overcome ROM), however as soon as I received it I disabled my plan and took the SIM out. I never actually ran data with ATT's network, and just recently attempted to use my ATT Tab on Tmo. For the longest time my Tab was a wifi-only Tab...
I am sooooo frustrated right now. I've tried several modems and checked and double checked the APN settings. I am beginning to wonder if maybe its not working because I no longer have the AT&T apps or widget? I don't know why they didn't get backup-ed and restored by Titanium Backup. I guess I just didn't have that option checked.
Where can I get the AT&T stock apps and widget?
Any additional help is appreciated...
Oh... Should I maybe try starting all over with the Overcome Flash from the beginning? I am so afraid of bricking my Tab.
Thanks,
Tom
is there at any stage you have baseband I987UCK1 in Overcome ?
keep that modem, and fix other things.

Ok... THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!! :highfive: The above finally worked. I am using the stock AT&T Modem and on baseband ( i987UCJK1 ). Most importantly!!! Create a New APN... And fill out the APN just like it says in the quote by Priyana above and in the article. LEAVE EVERYTHING ELSE BLANK!!! No Proxy, no Port, No MMSC, No MMS info nothing. Working like a charm now.:laugh:
Now if I could only get the phone to work as a side benefit then that would be sweet... I didn't have it before in froyo so that would be new.
Thanks again guys and especially Priyana.

unlocked HTC Desire C no signal but Data working

Hi everyone,
I have a desire C which was originally on the 3 mobile network, I unlocked it successfully to work with other sim cards and was using it on Orange for a few months.
I have also rooted the phone following the original nameless thread & installed the nameless ROM onto it. This works fine with the ORIGINAL 3 mobile sim card but not with any other sim card. AlI get is no service showing. I cannot make or receive calls, however data works fine (with or without wifi).
I have tried the following:
turning airplane mode on and off, also usin the *#*#4636#*#* (or whatever it is!) thing to get to the test menu and turn off radio and back on again.
Wiping to factory reset
Re-installing the rom from the phones recovery "install zip from SDcard" menu, - also installed the revolution 5en5e rom
IMEI Shows the original IMEI from the phone
If I go to my available networks list it shows me the EE (orange) network, o2 Network, Vodafone network & 3 Mobile network, but no matter which one I select it says your sim card does not allow connection to this network.
I've also tried to change the way it connects from auto to manual and vice versa, but each time it says unable to connect to this network at this time, please try again later.
I just cannot get it to give me signal unless its on the orignal sim & i'm sure the signal is worse than the stock rom.
I'm assuming it's a radio issue?? only assuming as I would have though I would have the error of invalid sim/network locked etc, but I don't know enough about it really.
So currently the phone sits with the following installed:
Android Version:
4.0.3
HTC Sense Version:
4.0
Software number:
ReVoluTion 5en5e Edition v1.0
HTC SDK API Level:
4.2.1
HTC Extension Version:
HTCExtension_403_1_GA_9
Kernal Version:
3.0.16-g51cada9
[email protected] #1
PREEMPT
Baseband Version:
10.11.98.09P_1.06.98.13M2
Build number:
2.00.401.2CL128321 release-keys
Browser Version:
WebKit/534.30
I hope someone can help & if you need more information please let me know!
Kind Regards,
Lee
Try unlocking your SIM again, but while on the new Rom?
Make them boys go loco!
Hi,
I don't get the option to unlock the phone as it accepts the sim, just gives me no signal. Before I unlocked the phone it used to say something along the lines of sim card not accepted, you then had the option to put the codes in to release it from its carrier.
regards,
lee
I had the same problem with my SIM card. Phone is unlocked but one day I see that I don't have any network signal.
So I snoop around trying my friends' SIM cards on my phone and they work.
Went to the office nearby and told them what happened. They said its a malfunctioning SIM card and change it for free.
Now i didn't notice whether I have data traffic working but it resolved my signal problem. Hope this helps.
I've tried 3 different sims on organge and o2 and have the same issue
I've called three mobile (original carrier) and they advise that there is no barring or anything on my profile.
I think I will try to reflash to factory and try again.....I cant think of any other way.

Flashed boot.img & installed the "untouched__rom_v2.0eu_dcplx1" from this site and it does the same thing!
Does anyone know what else i can do?? or have a three mobile rom I can try?
Lee
Ok, managed to speak with three Tech support again, turns out my profile is not ok.
My phones imei has been blocked by........wait for it.........o2!!!!!
they are speaking with the fraud team and will hear back this week. How bizarre.
I don't understand how another network can block my imei from being on other networks apart from the original one? if it's blocked it's blocked surely....
ah well, will wait for the call back and post up with the outcome.
Lee
Spoke to three today who advise the phone is not blacklisted like they originally stated as they have spoken with O2.
They say there is nothing on my profile to block it and it should work.
I don't know where to go on this now.
Can anyone help please?
