Hi,
my girlfriends phone just suddenly stopped working. It stucked at Samsung Logo. Also recovery did not work anymore. So i decided to try flashing it. Coming from the HTC Desire is first had to look how to use Odin and how to flash Samsung devices.
Anyway, i found a new stock Rom from somewhere on this site droidangel.blogspot_com from February 2012, and i flashed it via Odin. The phone booted again, but i am unable to get any simcard to work. I tried several stock Roms, but all the time the same problem: Flight Mode is off, but i cannot get any reception. The menu option "Mobile Networks" is grayed out so i cannot enter it. In "About Phone/Status" is says everything just unknown. Signal strength 0db 0asu, and Service State either Radio Off or Out of Service. When i turn flight mode on, and then off again it just turn it on again after some seconds.
Any ideas what i could do?
can you access your IEMI number *#06# (don't post it) is the number still there or all 0's?
A pop-up comes with "IMEI"... thats all, no imei is shown, only "IMEI" and the ok button.
Also when i try to turn flight mode off the phone reboots suddenly and than flight mode is off, but still it behaves as if there is no simcard inserted.

You should not expect many answers in the description you gave,we need more details to sort what the problem is,like if you have flashed or done anything with your SGS.
If you have flashed the phone with a new firmware then you probably forgot to flash the modem file.Go in Odin again,select the Modem file,and DONT click anything else then flash the Modem file ONLY,it should be fine.
please check if your phone's IMEI is still correct. compare what is in settings>about phone>status to what is stated as your IMEI in the box where you phone came with or at the back of the phone after you remove the battery.
If your IMEI is different, you may be stuck with an INVALID IMEI unless of course you backed up your EFS folder.
Note: next time provide more details like what you were doing BEFORE this issue happened. We are not mind readers
Same problem
I am having the same problem. 4 days ago my Galaxy tab decided that it would not recognise my sim card, at the time I was playing a game. Numerous phone calls to my provider lead to no help as they kept reassuring me that my sim card and service was fine. I soon discovered that flight mode was turned on. When I turn flight mode off the sim card sign comes on in the right hand top corner but still says no sim card emergency calls only. Turn off the tab and turn it back on and flight mode is reset. Nothing I do will stop flight mode coming on each time I turn the tab on or make the tab recognise my card.
I have reset the tab to factory mode but this did not work. I checked the IMEI number as per this forum and it is correct.
Please help!

hi
i had the same problem i search in xda developers and didnt find.My friend said that my wifi chip broken.i sent it to the shop to replace the chip and after that all work perfect.so i recomend to send the phone to the shop to replace the wifi chip and it will work :good:
for anyone facing this error, you simply need to reinstall a newer or different country specific modem.
Hi,
I have searched this form but could not find a post that addresses the problem I am having.
I've flashed my phone to any number of ROMs and they will all work perfectly fine (IMEI shows the correct number) until I turn the phone off. When I power back on, typing in *#06# tells me that the IMEI is null/null, the *#1234# gives Phone: Unknown. I can't use the phone as a phone to dial with unless I go back to stock. When back in stock, I can turn the phone on and off and the IMEI information remains.
I have tried flashing with the SIM both in and out of the phone and nothing seems to change.
Anyone know what is going on and how I might be able to remedy this problem?
Sorry, thought I was having the same issue, but... ding dong... putting the card in backwards.
Hello All,
I got a strange problem here. Whenever I turn my Wifi on and lock the screen, the network connection is lost and not able to make/receive calls. Even if I turn off the Wifi, the network is lost and the only way is to restart the phone to get it normal. I have tried soft reset/hard reset and nothing works. I have not rooted the phone and its a stock one running on 2.3.4 with version V20e. Could this be an android issue or some kind of hardware failure?
Also, I am not on 3G and work on Edge (2G). Sometimes I lose my data connection also and I have restart the phone to restore the data connection too - "E" symbol on top of the phone changes to "G".

If I were you, and if the phone is still under warranty, I would send it back for a replacement. Check the IMEI before you send it and when you get it back. Another user here in XDA has said that the first time around they just do a software reset and send it back. Then you send it back again reporting the same issue and then they replace it.
Or you can try flashing a custom ROM and there's a big chance the problem will go away. But if it doesn't then you'll have to put it back in factory condition and it might not be so easy.
Hi Team,
I have heard lot about this forum and hope to get some gud suggestions from you guys.
I bought my Samsung Galaxy ace GT-S5830 with android 2.3.6 Gingerbread OS 6 months back but slowly I started facing few problems when my friends noticed and told me that your phone sometimes says switch off.
I also realized that sometimes even if the airtel network is there still i get an error message that mobile network not available I had to switch off the phone to get it normal.
Again people text me but it goes on pending and gets delivered after hours. I showed this problem to the service center they flashed my mobile but the problem persist I also tried changing my sim card but still all in vain. Now i am literally fed up with this phone.
Please assist me I dont know wat to do :crying:
Note: The phone is not rooted.
Thank you
err, are you sure this is because of the phone..? not the network..? because i never face any of the problems you mention..
may be you should try flashing stock rom with newest baseband for your region, find it on sammobile..

He said the service centre guys reflashed the rom. but agree that the sms thing could be network problem.
Faulty battery/pins (Switch offs)
Faulty hardware (Antenna?)
That's all I can identify.
Hi Guys !!!
Thanks for sharing your views
@demiorkan
The mobile automatically does not gets switched off but i need to do it manually as it keeps on prompting the error message "Mobile network not available" though I can see full network on my mobile.
I would really appreciate if I get any suggestions from your side.
Let me know if any more information is required.
If you dont mind you could try flashing another stock rom and see if that works out. If it did not, then it's probably a hardware problem OR the network (as mentioned). Try your SIM card on another phone as well, that should prove if there is problem with the network or not.
Mostly it might be a firmware problem. Service center might not have flashed a new firmware but simply wiped and gave back. (can't be sure on that). So I recommend on using ODIN and flash new firmware. Google is your best friend on this.
Secondly about the network, Turn on flight mode once and turn it off, you'll get the signal. You can even do some debugging by going to the testing menu (*#*#4636#*#*) and toggle the radio and the preferred connection type and stuff. But if the place where you are is such that you get low signal, then don't try any things on phone as it's ultimately the network problem. Trust Me, the place where I stay, I rarely get proper reception and Even I'm on the same network. Flight Mode trick saves the unnecessary reboot.
Hi,
I am facing an issue with my Samsung galaxy s3 mini ( Model - GT-I8190) with Fixed Dialing Number Mode (FDN Mode). Whenever I try to call any number even the emergency number I get a pop up saying "FDN Mode activated" . I have already tried Google all the solutions online and tried almost everything.
I have tried to disable the setting of Fixed Dial Number but when I enter the PIN and press OK , I get an error something like "SIM ERROR" popped up on the screen and the issue remains the same. I have lasso tried hard reset the phone and format it. The issue remains the same with other SIM cards , I have tried 5 different SIM card which are working fine in other mobiles.
I have also given it to a repair shop and got the phone formatted and put the fresh operating system again but still the problem is the same.
Can anyone please help me with any solution ? Let me know if you guys need any more information about the phone firmware or anything .
Regards
Shobhit
