[Q] i9000m Reallly odd SIM issue

I flashed to Milky's ROM on i9000m using odin, and it boot looped, so I flashed with Milky's but no modem. And then flashed a modem. it booted but I had no service. I then tried 10 or so stock firmwares, and none did the trick. I finally fix my product code to get Kies to update, and kies updated to the newest gingerbread. But even after that, I still have no service. Does anyone know whats going on? Is the phone ruined?
ANY help would be greatly appreciated, I spent over 48 hours on this already, and I can't do it myself anymore.

Ok, I had this issue with mine, now I semi bricked my i9000 flashing modems to try and fix this issue, but i had to take it to a shop, i saw this on his screen on a Simpley Honey Rom on XDA.
HOW TO CHANGE THE CSC WITH YOUR COUNTRY CODE:
- Into the DIALER write *#272*XXXXXXXXXXXX# where X series is your IMEI (show the IMEI with *#06#)
- Select your country CODE
- Click on INSTALL
- Wait until it reboots and it do a wipe (automatically)
- Do the first boot
- Enjoy!
But find out ure country code first. And do not try this if ure unsure, remember Im saying I saw a guy that owns a Phone repair shop do it with my phone.

Thanks for the reply, I actually did that before, and retried it again, and it's still not working. I'm clueless as to what's going on.

Have you checked your apn settings?

It's not even seeing the sim card though. When I click on Mobile Networks it says Insert "Insert SIM card to access network services".

Yeah, I tried like 4 or 5 different ones. AT&T, T-Mobile, Telus, some with active service and some not.

I would take it to service centre maybe, worth asking them,

[Q] unlock sim network for samsung captivate 2.1

needed sim unlock code for samsung captivate...my imei [mod edit - don't post your IMEI number]..

Please use the search button
Please use the search functionality before posting.
There are so many threads already!
One is here

Not a good idea to post your damn imei on the fuggin interwebs either.

Yeah, gotta agree with zombie. It would be the same as posting your social security.

There are apps that do this. Just remember to BACK UP your EFS folder. Like back it un phone and computer and w/e other place. If your EFS folder gets jacked up you probably lost your IMEI and you will need to send to to someone to rebuild it.

Sory bout imei....m new here...

You know that method cost a good chunk of cash and almost always requie to send them your IMEI.... Just all kinds of wrong. In theory you can ask ATT to do it and will probably just be cheaper safer. OR get root and use the app. My phone is unlocked no issues

There is only one way to restore an imei, reflash gb, this will restore if it's purely rom corruption, or restore a backup. I don't understand what you mean by restoring backup didn't work, why?

factory condition I mean when device is new. Just after you buy it. With no backup of when you had imei, there is no way on getting it back, to my knowledge, without using expensive equiptment and skills like cvxcvx. Samsung itself should be able to do it to.
If you dont mess with device and only do ota/kies updates you dont need it. However when starting to do warrantee breaking stuff like custom roms, even pcodin official ones you need it.
how to: at own risk:
root device, use app like ktool, or alternatives.
Efs backup, is one of the important parts most forgotten as no backup tool does is with other backups.
You can get Samsung, at own risk to fix it too, lol

When you have changed emei youre pretty much screwed. However, a different phone can behave differently. even if same brand model etc. logic is dependant on many variables.
Never seen case of rom corruption changing imei but not efs, with flashback to different rom efs working again. Would be cool if that works for some
No1 you can test that ofc.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2

If you want to spend money, the z3x box and software can change the imei to what ever you want but the box is $120. I know the box works because my N7000 is using a dumb phone imei. I'm sure there is a way to do it without the box. In using the box, part of it requires flashing GB 2.3.5, so maybe the commands in this video will work worth the 2.3.5, I know they don't on ics.

10 bucks or 120, pick you poison. I wouldn't recommend the 120, cause its pretty difficult to set up, and you only need it once,if your smart lol.
Id recommend to go to Samsung, or cvxcvx as he has good rep on xda and elsewhere.
You might also want to recover pcode if your efs is bust lol. For updatability purposes.
Anyway be careful as it may be illegal to change imei, even if back to original.
If method in first movie works for n7000 its a good find. I wouldn't count on it thought.

No I agree, $120 is pricey, I did it out of expedience and at time I could not find much info about doing it. SoFar I have used it on 4 phones so it was not $120 out the window. When using it, it seems like they are using adb.
As for the OP, he probably just copied his efs folder and then tried to replace it when the orig got fubared. Before I did my mod, I read in a couple of places that just copying the efs folder is hit and miss. I use EFSPro to back up my EFS. I have three different imei's backed up, so if one gets banned, I just connect to a computer and flash another one, 30 seconds and I'm good to go.
Please guys, if your a flashaholic or your going to play with your efs, back it up with a proven app or learn to use DD and backup with it. Link to EFSpro:

Sorry if I've been late on replaying to your comments guys, but I 'm so busy with exams.
When IT will finish I will come back and replay.
and thank you all very much.

If you have warranty then un root flash a stock ROM and head to a service center and feign ignorance. Sweet talk you way through for a free restore. It worked for a friend of mine here in India.

I have flashed this ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2110245 with ODIN in PDA mode, and now the phone have no signal, and Baseband is displayed as Unknown.
How can I recover the baseband ?

Proceed with this thread, and dig all the links up and even dig the sub links. Maybe it will help.
Btw one guy is presistant that you need a new mobo, but I doubt.

Sure it can be done by software, because there is a samsung service tool, which cost a lot of money, and that can fix this only from software.

May I ask if you had any luck? I like the "solved" threads, they help me the most when I end up in a dark corner

It didn't work, so I sent the phone to a specialised service, they told me that there is a 50% change they can fix it and if not then I can throw the phone, and if they can fix it then it will cost $40-45

Have you tried it downgrading to GB? I suppose that's where your phone was working, right? Do you still have the warranty, if yes, flash everything back to stock and than try to send it to Samsung, but it can be that you phone regains the IMEI and other info back, have read this from similar threads from multiple devices with the same problem.

downgrading to GB did not help, I don't think the warranty will cover this...the custom flash counter is 16

maybe the phone was locked on some network and that's the cause for all the trouble. Try with triangle away to reset the counter, install GB as it was in the beginning, go to service and keep your fingers crossed. You have nothing to lose.

My phone was neverlocked, and it's multi-region, the original firmware had the same code as the Hong Kong phones, and I am located in Europe.
When I flashed this Russian JB rom, I got a warning message on the phone: WARNING: Custom Modem ! ...very strange !

That custom modem is responsable for the whole issue. Unfortunately my knowledge is limited and I'm unable to help you.
Still, my advice is the same: flash GB, reset that counter and go to samsung service. Probably they will discover that you flashed another FW, but at least you'll know if and how it can be repaired.
