[Q] S i9000 unable to connect to network - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I'm hoping you can help. Total noob so please bear with me.
I got a Si9000, it says it is unlocked.
When putting in sim card I got data network not available error.
Installed S1_Odin_20100512.pit
In PDA option I put in code_i9000XXJVS_CL565837_REV03_USER_LOW_SHIP.tar
For phone option I put in modem_i9000XXJVS_REV_00_CL1059471.tar
For CSC option I put in GT-i9000-CSC-MULTI-OXAJVS.tar
After I was told to type in *2767*3855# to reset phone.
Phone has been updated to 2.3.5, but now getting not able to connect to network error. It says mobile network unavailable. Any Ideas?
Thanks

have you checked that you have the correct settings for the network you want to use and also check that you have a valid IMEI number

Thanks for replying
Yes, the phone is shows the network, but when you try to select it, it says unable to connect.
I just checked there, and the IMEI number is valid

The files are in the right place, so nothing wrong there. Is wifi working?

Yep, but wifi is the only thing thats working. No data or mobile network, no GPRS either

Which network are you with and what settings do you have in APN ?
Would recommend ...flashing Rom and Re-Rooting*

I am wondering if it's just something in the connection settings. When I went to Japan last year I had to fiddle with something in the settings before I could pick up signals. It was in mobile networks. I think you can select cdma or something like that.

Im with Go Conquer in Ireland, actually brought the phone to a shop to be unlocked, as it was Vodafone, but they said it already was unlocked. They have their settings up on their website so I have entered them.
I'm going to try putting it back to its original settings again, and rooting it again, do you think that might be it? Ill also try the cdma settings.
Thanks to you both

Follow my Guide below to flash Rom and then Root it
Why did you go to a shop to unlocked it ...theres apps on here free??

Did you manage to get it right again? I'm having the same issue as you do. I did a factory reset with cwm and now when I enter the sim card it doesnt connect to network or 3g. Wifi does work. I am on original rom 2.3.5 and I dont know what to do. I tried a other sim and that didnt work either. Please advice. Thank you.

Are you sure to have flashed ROM with proper CSC bandwidth for the region where you live?

Hi,
Thank you all for replying! For some unknown reason the phone works. I left it a day off and then I powered it up again and it worked. So I dont know how but thank you guys for replying!
Grtz,

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S I9000 No Service!

Hope Someone can help.
I had a problem with my Samsung galaxy s i9000 and i was told to flash it using Odin, i downloaded the files from sam firmware and put android 2.3 onto it, when it had completed the phone will not get a service, everything else works fine and it reads the sim card and the contacts etc it just wont connect to network?
Can anyone help?
Thanks
Josh
Does it work wireless ?
Does it get phone network, or both data and phone services are unavailable ?
Do you have in wireless and network settings under mobile network the "use data packet" switched on ??
Did you try with a sim from another operator just to see if it's a matter of specific operator settings ?
I got italian language, maybe settings name are a bit different from the ones i mentioned, but that's the concept.

all that works fine and i haven't tried a new sim card as i do not have another sim card to try but i thought that if it was that problem the phone would not start as it would ask you for a network lock code? it is really annoying. ]

Check if your IMEI is correct, you find it under settings, about, status.
Your correct IMEI is on a sicker under the battery.

nope when i try and make a phone call or send a text it says "mobile network not available"
mmmm....
are you sure you downloaded the correct rom ? I mean there are different roms for different countries.
While you just reflashed, why dont you go back to original stock rom or to a stable one (one i remember is JPY_JPY_JPY) just to see if everything works fine ?
Anyway....which was the problem you had that required you to flash with odin ??
Yeah you prolly downloaded a rom fir another region if your imei is in tact and ya vant even make calls. If you can make calls and just cant use data then the rom doesnt have your apn settings and you will have to add them manually.

Have you bought it used with this problem?
If so there is a chance that the IMEI is reported stolen and blocked at the service provider.

[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

Also the problem you had when flashed JPU sounds like you didnt have your APNs correct..thats why the "no data network available"

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?

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?..

Phone can not register in GSM network even after SIM unlock (QPST Backup needed)

Hello! I need some help with my HTC One M8 Sprint.
Im from Russia, phone work well about 2 years with full gsm network support.
After turn off due batery disharge SIM Locked again. I flash Sense rom and make sim unlock but my phone unable to conect to the my operator network.
I read here that sometimes GSM bands can be reset. I install QPST, made a backup of NVRAM and folow this instruction https://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-htc-one-m8/general/enabling-3g-umts-countries-t2847461.
After this my phone start to see Russian mobile operators, but can not register on them.
I tried chage my SIM card and tried SIM card of another operator, dont work. Just cant register in network.
I think that in addition to the band something else reset in the radio module firmware.
I put the phone in the service center, but the diagnostic for mechanical damage did not give any results, everything is fine.
I attach all avaible info from DFS app and fastboot and proof that my phone scaning networks, maybe someone can help.
If anyone has a backup of NVRAM, please, chare it with me so i can compare parameters.
OK I will try to help you, I'm currently busy. For now hide the picture with your imei.
BTW which ROM are you using?

Install 4.25.651.14 RUU.
In this tread some guy said that he cannot connect to the network on MM RUU and 4.25.651.14 RUU helped him.
Make Factory Reset in fastboot and radio reset through the command ##786#.
Then I make SIM Unlock with this method.
Intall InserctCoin ROM that figure in instruction and go on. SIM unlocked sucessful and GSM operators became available when scanning.
But still can not connect to the network
