Strange Captivate issue

OK.. First of all I want you to know that I'm not a n00b and that 99% of the cases I know what I'm doing with my phone but this is a weird one
Problem no.1: The simcard keeps on "disconnecting", resulting in disconnection from the network. Since the first seconds I start the phone it does this. Sometimes it doesnt even accept my PIN as being incorrect, but in the notification bar the SIM+! icon disappears for a moment. This is after I screwed a ROM and returned to stock using the OCD JF6.
Problem no.2: It wont master clear! No matter what I do, it wont do it. I tried since the first second when ODIN detects the phone. I tried it when it fully loads the ROM, it just wont go.
Background: Before, I had installed Froyo JPA i9000 ROM with Reoriented kernel 2.1.2 (voodoo lagfix+color,bln). Everything was soooooo fast on that ROM (with around 100 apps installed) but I wanted to theme it. So I tried to deodex it using xUltimate. I followed the (logical) instructions found in a post here and it didnt want to boot anymore... well, it did but in a FCs symphony.
I did what I believed is right and I returned to stock but I forgot to pull out the SIM card... then these problems appeared.
Gimme a hint what could I do. I'm asking first here because a working PDA without a SIM is .. acceptable but a totally bricked one is worse so before I take any steps further I need your opinion.
Thanks a lot.

No one?

Problem 1: can probably be fixed by reflashing stock with the SIM card *not* in the slot (that's about my only guess, never seen that).
Problem 2: master clear must be done with the phone turned on *NOT* download mode. the phone must be fully booted with adb debugging enabled in settings.
xUlimate: it's a poorly written application and it's success ratio is probably about 50/50, another tool to look into is auto-deodexer. Also, both the framework AND the system apps need to be deodexed to have everything play nicely (gtg taught me this one)

id experiment. from what i gather you were able to flash jf6 but it was a bad flash. does it still have download mode? maybe try to flash again and then try to master clear? maybe try to flash another rom, then try to flash back to stock?
this doesn't sound like anything anyone has seen before so your best bet is to just try something.

Thanks a lot for the replies guys!
The master clear was tried from all phone statuses (booting; finished booting; after the phone operated for a while) except download and recovery (i know is not suppose to be done from there).
I did reflash to stock without the SIM, same issue.
I will try flashing again some other rom. I'll try more and ill post the result here

OK, so, it seems that for some reason, after stock restore there were still remaining of XEE CSC in the phone..
I loaded the JPA back and now is all fine.

I am having the same issue, unable to clear with CWM or odin, or within the OS in either the stock rom or axura 4 or 5...
Can you please elaborate on your solution?
CSC looks familar to me, thats an ODIN file right? If so, what part of the phone would that be (kernal, modem, OS)?
What do you mean by load JPA? Odin package or CWM? WHole rom or specific parts.
thanks...this has got me stumped

Well, my issue is that I cannot use 2.1 anymore (any 2.1, tried stock Captivate and JM8 from i9000), I don't understand what is wrong but my first bet is that the /efs partition got changed in some way when I loaded JPA i9000 ROM.
Froyo works fine, any ROM I load give me full functionality but on 2.1 the SIM gets disconnected all the time and after a while the phone reboots by itself. Just to make it clear, I never had the usual Captivate reboot issue, it started when this SIM problem appeared.
Note: my product codes are fine, in both nv_data.bin and nv_data.bak the product code is finishing in ATT and my IMEI is available in both 2.1 and 2.2 and is correct, so no IMEI corruption here.
Could someone give me a hint?? Would flashing to stock with phone EFS clear help?

[Q] [MIUI ROM]Problems and Troubleshooting

I just performed a fresh installation of the MIUI RC5 on my i9000 and Have a few problems.
1. My network provider is not being recognized at all. (Even after a couple of restarts)
2. My IMEI is not being displayed. (Even after deleting the efs folder using Root Explorer.)
So please respond immediately as I wish to continue using this ROM.
Thanks in advance

you have to restore the efs backup that you should of made before the installation.
that will restore the IMEI and give you network coverage.
if you cant do that, re-flash the ROM, and if it still doesnt work, you will have to flash back to froyo with pit and repartition and start the whole process again.

Thx a lot dude. Trying it right now. Hope it works *fingers crossed* http://media.xda-developers.com/images/icons/icon11.gif

I tried to install MIUI through Rom manager and now the phone just flashes SAMSUNG but never boots up. I have Infuse-rooted-CWM installed. Please HELP
Thanks

Galnet MIUI v4.0
WIFI Sleep policy does not seem to work. It is set to sleep when screen is turn off, but it never turn off. This is draining up the phone battery. Any one any idea?

So you have the Samsung Infuse? Because this is the Galaxy S forums and I don't think Miui is even available on the Infuse so no wonder it isn't working(and the way you installed it isn't the correct procedure anyway). You can probably install a fresh official rom for your phone some how through odin but I'm not familiar with the Infuse. Best to go to the Infuse forums and ask. Hope this helps

No Call, No Dataconnection...

Hi,
i´ve got a (big?) problem...i dont know why..but i cant make and get calls!
even the dataconnection doesnt work...
i have now the wgspolestras rc1 rom...i had tried the cm7...and the..i forgot..
i`ve made a clockworkmod restore...
nothing worked...
so i`ve flashed the baseband from 06.06 and updated the ril from the 06.06
no chance..no call...
what can i do?? i am a bit pissed off, no nice friday evening... -.-
i am new to the baseband & ril..so sorry if there is the answer somewhere...
hopefully someone can help me..
thanks

If nothing works, I suggest you do an NVflash. it's basically a clean flash of the stock ROM, which will clean everything (make sure you packup your apps on external sd card)
link of how to do it and the files you need - http://android.modaco.com/content/l...rom-release-v10b-dated-1300166062-15-03-2011/

thanks..i will look at this...i hope it will work!
EDIT:
The device is flashing....
after that, there is a stock rom on the device, right?
i have to root it again, and to install romanager with clockworkmod and install a rom?
EDIT2:
NO SUCCESS!!
the lg stock rom has started, i got an sms, then i tried to call....nothing!!
When i call my phone ->its busy...
sending/receiving sms seems to work..

you have to root your phone again, and install rom manager/clockworkmod.
try calling someone else, or try receiving a call. This is the gold standard, if this doesn't work, then there's not much else you can do.

i got a bit shocked!!
but i`ve flashed the newest vodaphone stock rom....
and it worked! (okay the internetsettings are different from my provider)
but that worked too
i am going to root and flash it now...it should work..
EDIT:
Its working...somehow!! Dataconnection is very bad...
i`ve flashed the RC1 from WGSpolestra...i can call in and out, but with data connection the signal is very bad...can i flash new ril and baseband?

just try out other baseband and ril, not every version is working for everybody ...

i`ve flashed the 606 baseband and ril.
but i dont understand why that happens...from now to then these problems..
anyway..the phone is working again..

Same problem..
Hey there,
Ive got the same problem.
I was using the CM Nightly Rom, but just one dat, I got an "X" instead of having any signal.
Dont have a clue why or what happend.
I tried other roms, but All the same problem.
At the end, I tried the NVFLASh, that works, But only with the 2.2 Roms.
Today i put the latest nightly on my Lg, and My signal was gone after half a day.
Weird, Weird...
Greetz
WyCkson.

i think that i found the problem....
wich launcher are u using?
i had used the pro plus launcher, but after a reboot all my widgets are gone (loading problem) so i switched to the adw launcher and no problem any more!!!
the phone works well now!!
How stupid is that....such probem because of the launcher!!!?

hello,
Is it possible it's sim card problem ?
Try with another to see.
bye

i`ve used my card in a other phone..no problem..

No Calls suddenly Don't know what to do!!!!
Suddenly NO Incoming Calls. Knew it the next day when my friend personally came to see.
Also got scolded from company.
Dont' know what is the problem. But 3 to 4 restart helps.
I feel I may be an IDIOT for buying this phone.

[Q] Problem with Slim ICS 3.5

Hi guys,
i have been using Krarvind's Slim ICS 3.5 for about 10 days and I absolutely loved it. I have just updated to 3.6 which caused my phone to bootloop
So, after an hour or so of labouring and trying to work my way back in to it i'm now back on 3.5, but I have absolutely no signal/3G coverage. Wi-Fi works no problems, just no signal!
I went in to the APNs and there is nothing there - I tried to save a new APN and it wont let me - has anyone encountered this before?
Thanks in advance

Haven't experienced this myself but a few things come to mind...
First would be to check if you imei number correct? If not you would need to restore this from a backup.
If IMEI number appears correct then I would try flashing the modem again or a different modem. Modems found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1158783
If this doesn't work you can try flashing 3.5 base and essentials again.
If that doesn't work search the threads and google or hope someone else can give you an answer. If you don't find any help then as a last resort you can flash a stock rom with Odin although I'm sure there must be an easier way.

I've had a similar problem, the updating to 3.6 just went wrong. No bootloop but loads of FC.
My solution has been going back to recovery, do a full wipe (wipe data/restore factory settings) and install 3.6 again. Everything seems to work now but I have to re-install and configure all my apps... :-(
Hope it helps...

Check in About > Phone
Under baseband does it say UNKNOWN ?
this happened to me once, need to reflash the modem. No need for wipes etc

Phone doesn't read my SIM

I have been using CM11 (14-03-2014 I believe), without major problems until yesterday. Sometimes my phone seemed to disconnect from my SIM and I had to re-enter my pin code to reconnect to my operators network. But as of yesterday my device doesn't seem to recognize the SIM card, It doesn't ask for a code at all and can't make any connection whatsoever. I didn't change a thing, this problem started out of the blue.
I wiped cache and dalvik, updated to the latest CM nightly (08-05) but that didn't make any difference. In other threads I read about the baseband that might need an update, but I can't check which version I have now because when I try to enter the hidden menu I get the no network connection error. The strange thing is that CM11 has worked with (I guess) the stock baseband.
Is my phone tripping or could it be that my SIM card is broken?
Help and thoughts will be very much appreciated

Try it on stock to be sure about it.

After some searching I found a phone that could fit a regular SIM card, a Blackberry 9900. My SIM worked perfect in this phone, so that is not the problem.
I Also did a complete wipe and installed a stable version of CM 10.1.3, but that didn't seem to help. I hoped that a downgrade would have done the trick. I might try a ICS ROM or the stock firmware, but I kind of lost hope and i'm starting to think this problem is hardware related in stead of software. I'll report back with results on stock firmware and the ICS ROM.
How can I make sure the SIM reader in my phone is working properly?

Sorry for double posting, but I got an update:
SIM wasn't working with ICS so I decided to go back to the stock ROM. However, when I tried to flash V20B.kdz with KDZ_FW_UPD, the program got stuck at wParam=2010 and iParam=210. The phone is now stuck in S/W Update mode, and I haven't found a way to restore it yet. I will argue a little more with my phone when I get back from work, I'll open a new thread on how to unbrick when I can't do it myself.

I have the same problem, and exactly the same error at reflash.
Dead end. Buy a new phone .
I tried to flash it about 80 times. One guy from a gsm repair has a bit luck and make it work at the first, but then, when he wanted to repair my imei, the phone stucked again in S/W Upgrade.
