Pleaseeeee help with no service issue!! Driving me crazy now! - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi All.
I'm trying to get my friends phone to work. he got given it as a gift from a family member who upgraded, this was about 3 weeks ago and i havent been able to get it to work. the phone is unlocked, and now rooted with Dark Nights 4.0.4... it did have gingerbread 2.3.5 on... but regardless of the rom this handset has had this problem ever since.
The problem:
When we first put his sim card in, he popped up with signal and a carrier name, then changed to emergency calls only. But the signal bar was still full! So thinking it was software related i gave the phone a factory reset, no fix. So i then rooted the handset and put a custom rom on, the same rom that i use on my i9000. Darkys Rom 4.0.4. Still no fix, this is very wierd, tried lots of sims in this phone now and does excactly the same with each one, and we know these sim cards work because there our own.
We have tried with 3, T-Mobile, Orange, o2 and Vodafone. Excactly the same happens all the time, carrier name pops up for about 2 seconds then goes to emergency calls only. but signal bar still full.
Here is all the details on the about section of the phone....
Model Number: GT-I9000

Yeah thats displayed correctly.

Hmmm, have you tried factory reset? If so, might have to reflash back to stock rom, that should get radio working (unless imei is barred somehow)
If you have a backup of your efs folder, try restoring it (after backing up current efs folder)
clear cache, dalvik cache, reset permissions, reboot

I had a similar issue with my I9000T.
I was able to get sertvice in some areas and Emergency calls only in others.
I flashed back to stock and still had the issue, so i returned it to my carrier for service and it came back all good.

OK, i was going to flash to stock again just to make sure, and i cant find the rom, were can i download it for Odin? I cant remember were i got my one from?

[Q] No Signal/Network after Flashing a new rom

Hi guys,
So I had this problem before, but the Captivate magically fixed itself. This time... not so much. Or not yet anyway.
Upon boot I get a "No network" symbol. Sometimes it shows the bars on boot, but quickly reverts to the no network status. I just flashed the newest version of Cognition with the accompanying kernal. I have bounced around through various roms and kernals all night, but the problem seems to carry over (even after wiping the data/cache/return to blah blah).
Any ideas?
Try some other modem......
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=876391
Crispy1805,
Try going to Access Point Names and tap menu then Reset to default. Once it populates at the top of ur screen, tap the dot, it will turn green and u should be good to go.
Menu/ Settings/ Wireless and network/ Mobile networks/ Access point names/ then menu/ "Reset to default" then tap the dot selector. Reboot should not be needed.

Apn are for data right, is this anyway related to connectivity to the network.
Yes, you need to be accessing at&t's access point to connect to it's network...
Hm, tried that, no avail. The problem is that it is not detecting any "bars" at all. I removed the sim, same problem. My Infuse is showing bars in the same location, so its not a network problem.
Did you make a backup of your efs folder you can restore?
Good point, let me check and try that if I can find it.
gah, I cant find it.
Try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=15158920 ... Use the 3 file version. It is kf1 stock, but the kf1 came with a seperate CSC .tar file and the kf1 is a full wipe... Worth a shot. But u need to already have the i897 bootloaders.
If this works, then u can move on to kh3 or whatever u r wanting to go to...
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using xda premium
I flashed back to stock (enclair---odin 1 click and master clear), but it is still not showing any network /bars. I tried this --
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=881162
but all of the values were already correct. When I check for an IMEI it says "not registered on the network" --- but it can't SEE the network as far as I can tell, so that makes sense. Perhaps the network card isn't coming on at boot?
Any more ideas?
This had happened to me recently, Some how 1 of my captivate lost the original imei and had the generic one 0000461090000, When u chek under the status it shows the details but no connectivity. I restored the imei and all ok.
Mine has its generic IMEI. It was sim locked for some reason, but I fixed that--- still no signal , just the blue circle with the bar through it. Under status:
Network -- Unknown
Signal Strength -- 0 dBm 0 asu
Mobile network type -- GRPS
Service State -- Out of Service
Roaming -- Not Roaming
Mobile network state -- Disconnected
Again, the Infuse right beside it is picking up signal (2 bars of "4G" i.e. 3.5G)
Update: Flashed to 2.3
Now the signal strength -- -111dBm 1asu
The rest is still the same :-\
Generic imei does not works in India we cannot register without a proper imei but it works in US members here have confirmed this. Check your lock status with *#7465625# what it says.

Just out of curiosity...If I make a backup of my efs folder now while running the FASTY II (KH3 i897 ROM) then flash say, Rom EPIC (JVS I9000 ROM) and end up having no network (This actually happened) will I be able to successfully restore the efs folder without having any problems?
Yes you can restore it.
Do you think its an EFS folder problem? I am clueless at this point.
Code:
You have a generic imei and it is quite possible the problem is coz of that.

No, I do not have a generic IMEI.

[SOLVED] No data after CM7

For some reason, whenever I flash CM7 I lose all network connections. Anytime I flash this ROM I get the little blinking triangle in the statusbar. I can't go through the Google sign in because I have no network connection. Here is my method for how I installed:
Enabled Safe System
Formatted /system
Flashed CM7, flashed gapps
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe Cache
Reboot
Everything goes smooth until my phone starts up and shows that stupid little icon. Then I'm pretty much stuck and can't do anything except restore my backup. Any suggestions anyone?

It does but it didn't help any. Reactivated the phone, then did option 2 to update roaming capabilities and it still didn't help.
turn on data roaming. And you wiped after flashing? I haven't used safestrap, but try wiping then flashing. 228, option 1 and 2, enable data roaming

Both data roaming options are selected. Still nothing after reboot. Can't do *228 do to no signal/data/service.
Wiping first, then installing now.
EDIT: Still nothing. I made a backup but still.....I really want CM7 instead.
Here is a dumb idea but do you have Wi-Fi you can access to set it up? Does hitting all four corners bypass setup?

I was at work but now being at home I can connect it to Wifi to get through the setup but that's where things get even more weird lol. I get through setup and everything and the ROM boots up perfect except of course for not having any service. The blinking triangle is still there, but I can make and receive calls. Can't download anything market and can't bring up anything on the browser unless I stay on Wifi. I can't always be connected to Wifi though. I think I'm just going to SBF back to stock, then try to install this thing. If that doesn't work then I'm just going to give up lol. I've been going at this for 20 hours straight and can't figure it out, maybe it just wasn't meant to be lol.
Double check your SIM card? For some reason CM7 is very picky right now about the SIM being installed.

No SIM card installed. I've tried *228 to activate and it said it worked. Then did *228 to update roaming capabilities which said it worked too. Still get the triangle and no data though. I just did a SBF back to stock 5.6.890 (XT862) and am going to try to install again. Will post again with an update.
Ok. I redownloaded CM7 to make sure it wasn't a bad download.
SBF back to stock 5.6.890
Re rooted and reinstalled safestrap 1.0
Rebooted and pressed menu button to get into recovery
Enabled safeboot
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache
wipe dalvik
flashed CM7
flashed patch
flashed gapps
Reboot ---> Same results. WTF is going on with this phone????
I also tried all the steps above with the exception of flashing the patch files and I still got the same results.
Maybe this will help. This is what I see after I flash everything and reboot, in the About Phone>Status menu:
My Phone Number: Unknown
MIN: Unknown

Going to do the *228 now and see if anything changes.
After *228, then *228 option 2:

After doing *228, it did say that it could take up to 15 minutes so I guess it's just a waiting game now but I seriously doubt it will change.

Well that definitely explains it. I wish that was pointed out in the OP. I bought this phone from Verizon but was told I didn't need the SIM card since I wasn't going to use the global services.
Boot up go into dev tools and select bad behavior, crash system server it will reboot phone and you will have 3g.I know because I done this lol..it doesn't stick though so every time you reboot you will have to do this.. It's what I had to do until I got a Sim card....

EDIT:
I edited my post title and added a [SOLVED] tag. For anyone that reads this and is having the same issue, you MUST have a SIM card installed for CM7 or you will never have a data connection.
You will have 3g if you crash the system server through dev tools...it may be annoying every boot up but if you want cm7 bad enough it's worth it. I done it until I got a Sim card.

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] IMEI unknown and no signal

Hey guys i have a problem.
I bought an LTE on T-mobile off ebay with a damaged digitizer. when i went to pick it up, the guy had his sim in and proved it accepted calls etc.
i got a new screen and did a factory restore. the new screen had a frame attached and i threw the old one away losing the IMEI number.
I get a t-mobile sim and activated it. i put it in the phone but it wouldnt pick up a signal at all.
it wouldnt detect a sim, even when i put in a sim from another network.
i checked settings and i says:
mobile network type: unknown
Service state: out of service
Mobile network state: disconnected
My phone number: unknown
ERI version: not avaliable
IMEI: unknown
i read online to try flashing a new ROM so i gave that a go but it didnt change anything.
i also read to check antenna connection but it connected ok and no damage on connectors.
does anyone have any idea what could be causing it and how i can solve it?
