[Q] No soloution anywhere i look, needs some serious help guys.

hi all,
when i first got my galaxy s it was locked to Orange (UK Network) and i unlocked the phone to be used on any network, and have been happily using it for well over half a year, i also attempted to flash the F1 SG2 Rom, however, there wasnt enough space on the partition so i flashed the phone back to XXJVQ (which i had on the phone before trying to install the F1 ROM) however, now my phone doesn't recognise the SIM that i put in, im wondering if the flash had anything to do with it or if the phone has locked itself. i have been researching around and some people have said that its something to do with efs or IMEI, i have no clue what that means but its sounds important, they also say that you need backups of these and that they contain phone files, however, if they were important there would be more emphasis placed on backing them up...
anyone who has had the same issue or someone who knows whats going on please help. everything else works fine, so is there a way to get my phone to read the SIM again without risking totally bricking the whole thing??
an (easy to understand) guide on how to fix this would be much appreciated...
thank you.......

flash a new modem file.. cause u may have corrupted your modem while flashing.. if that does not work change kernel( helped me once)..

Flash a kernel with root........ There's plenty in the development thread. You could also flash a new modem. Very simple.

Your imei is the code that identifies your phone. Look in settings, about phone, status.
Have you tried reflashing your rom?
If all else fails, i would recommend a flash of jm9 with odin. Files can be found at samfirmware.com. It's got me out of some deep black holes in the past!
Don't stress too much mate, there's been plenty of times that my phone hasn't recognised my sim when flashing cm7.
Reflash your rom, if that doesn't work, flash jm9, and most of all, relax.

Worth trying the simple things, take out sim, clean and reinsert, this has worked for me in the past, and when you do get going again get sgs toolbox and with that you can make a back up of your efs folder, check your imei against the label on box that phone came in

Theres only 1 thing. Im running Gingerbread w.e.r XXJVQ not Froyo. :0 will flashing this help?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

Jm9 helps everything - trust me.
When you flash a rom with odin it completely wipes your phone. The process of getting cm7 2.3.4 on your phone involves flashing back to froyo or eclair first.
You seem hesitant, if you're worried, i suggest you spend a few days reading up. Try the sticky on rooting/flashing in the development section.
P. S. There's a thanks button at the bottom of every post.

Need URGENT help please

Hi guys.
It's 2 in the morning here in the U.K and I have to get up at 7:30, still racking my brain...
I wanted a standard ROM so I uninstalled root. I then did a factory reset, now my samsung keyboard just types as null null null...
I can only use ODIN now to flash, I have no CWM. I have no way of using Mobile ODIN either as I have no root.
What do I do? I have Baseband version N7000XXLRB. With Build Number IMM76D.XXLRG
I have gone on to the main rom page and just downloaded the first U.K one I saw. Is this okay? I'm running stock ICS and stock recovery.
Also when I open up standard recovery instead of the little green droid with the shape in his tummy, theres now a droid laying down with his tummy open with a little red warning triangle?
So the bottom line is, how can I fix it so that when I type it doesn't say null null null. I need my phone desperately and I need all the help I can get.
Thanks in advance.

Just try flashing the ROM again dude... if the problem persist, got rooted then install RootExplorer go to system/app folder and delete AxT9IME.odex file then flash the ROM again by Odin..

Nothing To Worry. Do this
Just Open PCOdin. Put your phone in Download Mode. Connect it to PC using USB Cable.Select the same rom file which you have on your phone now under CSC tab instead of PDA tab and flash. It will solve your problem
Here you can find all roms

Okay I downloaded N7000XXLQ2_N7000XEULP4_XEU... even though my ROM is LRB, would this work? As LP4 was the first U.K ROM there is? The first LRB ROM was German and I can't see an LRB ROM from the U.K there? Or does anyone have any suggested ROMs for me to flash?
As a temporary fix I switched to Swype, then downloaded JB keyboard from the Play Store, but ideally would like to have this sorted.
Thanks again

Root current and backup efs on multiple locations, note down original csc. That way you can always go back to original situation, plus you have a fallback in case efs gets corrupted from flashing different kinds of csc roms
Most dont say this, but it is the most valuable advice if you dont want to loose imei, service, warrantee, ota/kies updatability (when back on original csc roms), value when selling phone, etc

Hi there,
My best bet on the stock ROM your gonna use would be this one - > N7000XXLRK---4.0.4/12.07.24-N7000XEULP5, look and download it from here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997 (courtesy of Doc Ketan)
There's instructions on that thread as well on how to flash the ROM.
EDIT: On the setup stage (after you've flash it), you will be prompted on which Language your going to use, Look for English (United Kingdom) and follow the steps from there (clicking 'Next' from thereon)

Thank you very much I will try this when I'm at my dads in an hour or so. I'll also thank your post

If he has been flashing the phone and you have null imei and baseband, chances are that he also tried to root and flashed the package intended for the i9300.
Head over to the dev section and take a look in my sticky thread guide. Theres a param binary near the bottom of the first post. Download that and flash with odin. That should give you a working phone back.
Let me know how you get on.

Dont update ril as it has a qualcomm ril not a samsung ril and for the same reason efs pro wont do alot as the I9305 uses a different efs structure aswell.

[Q] GT-P1000N (Latin Model)

Hi everyone,
As i stated, I have the gt-p1000n running stock GB 2.3.3
All info is in attached screenshots
My tab has been bricked and resurrected.
My problem is, the network capabilities are gone.
Will not recognize sim, yet will reboot when removed or inserted
I have read previous threads and searched, but the N model is hard to find for.
As i found in other threads, I have tried flashing: JP3 Modem (Gingerbread) 2.3.3 for P1000N by HumerOS but still doesnt work.
Should I flash a different modem.bin?
Will it brick me again?
Any and all help appreciated

Please help........someone.......anyone???

People use the word brick lightly.
You can brick your tab if you flash a Rom made for another device.
Or if the flashing was interrupted when it was writing the bootloader.
There is no way you brick your tab by flashing different modem.
Just go ahead and flash as many modems as you like.

Ok So i think i know what the problem is. When I checked the IMEI using *#06# it showed a different number than the number on the back casing. I think they (repair shop) might have changed my IMEI after JTAG??
Also, EFS backup shows different IMEI (same as in *#06#) and Serial number than on unit.
Suggestions?

the IMEI you posted earlier looks legit.
Could they have changed the back cover of your unit or the motherboard?
Usually, flashing a stock ROM from Samsung using Odin will restore your IMEI.

I cant say for sure about the MB, but I doubt they would replace the MB for free. The back cover is mine. There are distinct markings on it that I confirm it.

Now I remember, I also had this problem. My IMEI was also changed after flashing a ROM and I lost my network service, I think it was a CM nightly as well. I remember just getting the next nightly and it was fixed.

Right now the Tab is stock Froyo with the exception of being rooted. No Custom recovery yet and no ROM. I'm trying to fix the issue at hand first (already solved one problem).

Yeah, what I'm saying is that maybe flashing a new ROM might solve it. I don't think you've got anything to lose now, right?

Ok so as the screenshot shows I have a new nightly Rom, updated and all, yet the IMEI is the same (not the correct one), and the S/N changed yet again to a different number.
Im lost

[Q] CloudyG3 first boot taking over an hour?

I clean flashed it and in TWRP it said done and I clicked reboot and it was rebooting for at least 20 minutes...not a bootloop...just the boot animation playing over and over and over. I tried force rebooting and my SIM wouldn't be detected so I reflashed it (again, clean flash) it and now I'm waiting on the boot screen for an hour+...I know first boots usually take longer because it has to setup the OS...but an hour..? Did I do something wrong? Anyone know why this might be happening?
EDIT: I got into the ROM. No cell signal though. Anyone possibly know why?

Might have a bad download. I know u did a back up of your previous ROM? U should re download the ROM again make sure u select the correct variant and see what happens then.

Considering his post is from June, I hope so. You may want to post your full issue here or in a new thread or the G3 thread itself.

Well since this thread is here, I want to ask some questions about CloudyG3's rom on the Verizon variant. Basically how it is? I really like the stock experience of the G2.
I've used the Flex port with good success before but there were several issues that I came back to stock. I know the stock SMS app refuses to work, which kinda sucks. I really like the popup SMS/MMS feature.
I'm just looking into whether it is worth it before I take the plunge. What are the steps to making CloudyG3 work the best?
1: What SMS is a good replacement that is similar to stock?
2: How to get the radio working?
3: Knock Code won't work, correct?
4: What issues/bugs to expect?
5: ????
