[Q] i9000 Emergency Calls Only - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok,
Before I get flamed... I've read 30 or posts about this.... both here and other forums, so here we go:-
It's a i9000 from Orange UK. I paid my £20 and got an unlock code off the internet, and it's stopped complaining about the O2 Sim in it now, but all I get is 'Emergency Calls Only'
I've tried stock roms, ezbase recovery, CM9 and CM10 and no matter what, I get 'Emergency Calls Only'
I checked:-
SIM connections are clean (and SIM in the right way round!)
IMEI matches the one on the phone.
Settings reports:-
GT-i9000
Android 4.2.2
Baseband I9000XXJVT
Kernel 3.0.78.g69c9cbc
Works fine if you stick in an Orange SIM :'(
Ready to bin it and buy a cheap Android from Tesco....

Go back to stock to test it. If it still doesnt work then you have been ripped off

Edit: don't bin it there is always a way to make it work xD

[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. ]
thanks

Check if your IMEI is correct, you find it under settings, about, status.
Your correct IMEI is on a sicker under the battery.
Edit: to late ; )

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] Just bought a captivate, No Signal is displayed and baseband version is "unknown"

[Q] Just bought a captivate, No Signal is displayed and baseband version is "unknown"
Please, I need your help, I just bought a Captivate for my GF, we live in Honduras, Central America and the phone was supposedly sent unlocked, she inserted the sim card and the phone did not asked for any code, but, it has no signal, it is currently displaying "no Service", and when she goes to look at her baseband version, It displays "unknown"!
It has a crappy ICS rom, since Im an Nexus one owner I dont know a thing about this phone version!
Can you PLEASE! help me?
Can I just flash a CM nightlie over this ****ty ICS rom?
Do I have to upgrade or downgrade anything else?
Please, any help is welcome!
I assume you probably have, but are the APN settings correct?
You can probably flash a CM7 nightly over it. Worst case, it doesn't work and you have to flash back to stock first and try again.
It sounds like you don't have a working modem. If flashing CM7 doesn't fix it, flash a CM7-compatible modem and see if that fixes it.

Lolz good advice...just in the wrong order...
I would flash the modem first....cause it is the least invasive (doesn't wipe anything) and most likely will work.
Roms contain modems, so if fishing as ROM didn't fix it fishing a modem after that is just spinning your wheels.
BUT, since op doesn't even like the ROM...just flash to kk4 stock.
I would also make door that the phone is actually unlocked...but aosp doesn't have the same dialer codes to just dial and check, and i don't know those.

I agree that it is less invasive, but he already said he wanted to go to CM7 so I figured he could skip a step if the flash actually worked. He bought the phone this way so who knows what the previous owner did to it. Both ways should fix his issue though (unless his phone is locked, as you pointed out).
If you flash to the most recent nightly or a kang, the Samsung dialer codes work to check your lock status.

So, thank you guys for helping me, heres what I did:
A friend told me that since I had ICS on it, I had to flash a compatible modem on it, I flashed I9000BVJJPD which is used on cm9.
When it turned on, It asked for an unlock pin, I tried to generate it with the SGSunlock app but didnt worked, so I downgrade it to cm7 (2.3.7) and tried again but with no success...
Tomorrow morning Ill take it to an unlock shop so it can be unlocked (hopefully).
Does the modem that I flashed is the correct one for a network that uses 850 bands?
I heard that some captatives erased the imei causing the "unknown baseband" issue, I dialed *#06# and it retrieved the imei code so, it isnt ****ed right?
any help is welcome, Ill let you guys know how it goes.
thanks!

Up to you, which is the best modem out there?
No such thing..every phone acts differently, not to mention the signal at your location is a huge variable we can't factor in.

I know, but, for example, developers say that the lastest is the best, but, you only can say if you test them...
But, have you test some of them? Which gave you the best result?
I always include jk4 in my roms as a good standard.

I understand your dilemma. You look at a list of 50 modems and go, "Where do I even start?"
Personally, I have tried lots of different modems, old and new, and I always come back to KP1. I think it's worth adding to your list of modems to try out. I would also try JJJV5 and KG3.

Note re-locked again??!!

Hi, folks...
After a long time, I have a problem with my Note...
Many, many weeks ago I rooted and unlocked my Note, and all was going well... It is just in the recent day, or two that I noticed that suddenly I don't have access to SMS service, calls, or Internet... I thought it was provider's fault, but after inserting other network's SIM card I got the same problem...
I think I might have re-locked itself somehow... I tried again using Galaxy S unlock method, but it changes nothing... is it possible that the phone unrooted itself, or that some update (no ICS, I am not touching that yet! ) messed up something?
Awaiting for your helpful response...

Unlocked means? Unlocked from what? Service provider?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA Premium App
I don't think it may have auto locked.
You are on GB ROM then try
-Factory reset
still dont work, then
-Reflash ROM
This shud work, if still doesn't work then reason to believe it has been locked.
Is your IMEI still showing correctly?

Locked, as in SIM locked.
Will try factory reset in the evening (London) and see what happens...

I am having the same problem or at least similar. The phone was running fine on both paranoid android and chracks rom. I flashed Crash v7 yesterday, still fine. I decided to go back to Chrack since there was an update. When I did that, safely, the first pop-up I got was "enter network unlock code key" message. I tried the galaxy_s unlock, didn't work. The only backup that I had left was the Crashv7 so I restored that. I got the same message now but galaxy_s unlock DOES work on it. Though, I never had to use it before. I have been at this trying to figure it out for over 8 hours. I believe it has something to do with the new roms and the CSC regions. I have been searching the forums all night and now today I see more people experiencing problems.
I would like to ask a few question here,
Why do we need to change the CSC regions? Other than Kies updating, what difference does it make? I have not found the answer anywhere. I am in the US and have never had to deal with this b.s. before. Web searches I have seen seem to all refer these to Samsung phones. Are they the only company that does this?
My N7000 is from Sweden, NEE(XEE) csc. The rom that is working for me now has a csc of: EUR. I was under the impression that with custom roms it didn't matter what the csc but now I am starting to doubt that.
Any true help out there? Anyone in the states or anywhere else suffering from the same problem? I just think it strange that the phone would re-lock itself but only stay locked on newer roms(any after July 25th) and the unlock app only works on the older roms. :shrug:
Sorry for this long post.
Edit: When the sim unlock app doesn't work, imei says "unknown"
Edit 2: Looking at other threads it looks like this isn't isolated. I guess there is a problem with the new lrk or whatever it is. It's re-locking units and galaxy_s unlock isn't working.
Yeah, I would also say that some time around middle of this week, this issue became apparent to me... I really didn't use the Note much for the last two weeks, so when I wanted to send an SMS, I thought it was the network playing up (2, or 3 times a year it has problems with service, which is ok with me, since they give a great deal for £10, and I don't need a non-stop connectivity...
I am knackered after today's ride, so I will try and deal with the issue tomorrow...
Oh... I did factory restore and rooting and flashing and the whole procedure of installing busybox and galaxy s unlock app and doing everything I remember doing the first time I unlocked my Note, but unfortunately it keeps saying "Network not available."
Has anybody got any idea why some Note re-SIMlock themselves, even though this method of SIM unlock is supposed to be permanent...
What should I do now? Install other stokk GB firmware, or risk it with some custom ROMs?
I am so sad...

I have found that any custom rom built on the LRI/LRK radios do not work for us users with sim-relock. Best to stay on older roms that aren't built from those sources. Sucks, I know. :crying:

AND WHAT DO YOU KNOW.....
A week and a bit back I had this sim lock problem with the Note, tried stuff in this thread, nothing worked, just fo find it today, when I picked it up to go and try flashing God knows what I'd pick, and turn it on, and IT IS UNLOCKED!!!
I was like a small pig when you give it some corn...
Phew, that is a stone off my heart...
But, how? Is it possible that maybe some Kies update, or some other app update brought about the re-locking of the NOTE?
Still, what made it work now, after so much time and failures?

[Q] cannot use *#7465625# after CM9 mod

I just upgrade my Captivate to CM9 ICS from GB. When I enter *#7465625# to check the lock status. Nothing happens. I remember it worked fine when I did this prior to the upgrade. Is it nornal? or did I break anything?

You didn't break anything . Pretty much all the special codes I've ever used stops working on ICS and JB. That being said I'm guessing you're wanting to check your GPS lock status. Download GPS Test from the play store and that should show you everything you'll ever want to know about your lock status.
I might not be very clear in my question, Sorry.
I actually want to vertify if my phone is locked or unlocked after the upgrade; like using *#06# to review the IMEI.

I wasn't able to find a good solution for this either (did an unlock a couple weeks ago). I had to just try it with a SIM card from a phone on another network.
Once unlocked ---- Always unlocked.
And the reason those USSD Codes won't work...basically from what lil I know...is because they are either Samsung ussd codes or Carrier Specific Codes and therefore you need to be on a Stock Firmware for them to work (like m1batt1 was pointing out). --- Although some may by chance work.
There is a flashable zip that will restore the *#*#2263#*#* code on the Cappy which let's you change modem frequencies but I don't think it restores that code. Browse through the Slim threads. I'm on my phone and cannot link the zip.

Can´t use simcard: `emergency only`

Hello,
I have a Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830 for 3 years now. I flashed different roms and did root my phone in all these years. But... now i received a new sim card which works well in other phones but NOT in my ace. So that must be a problem with my ace.. I just flashed back to the stock rom (XEN - Netherlands S5830XENKS1) via ODIN but the problem is still there, i can't use my sim-card: "Emergency only".
I already wiped data and cleared cache, hard reset... nothing works. What could i try to have my phone back working with sim card so i can call, sms and use my dataplan. My phone have no simlock i checked and the IMEI is also the right. The one shown by #06# is the same as printed behind my battery. I also received a new sim card from my provider, but this one also has the same problem.
I hope you guys can help me out! :good::good::good:
UPDATE 1: I tried differend sim cards in the phone. I always used to have T-Mobile as provider. All other simcards are not working, theyre showing up for a few seconds and after that it says: Emergency calls only. When i put in a T-Mobile sim card the provider keeps displayed, so it looks like my phone only works with a t-mobile card. But it's not sim locked, because i also used differend sim cards before..
UPDATE 2: Now my simyo simcard also connects and i can sms, call and internet. But after a few seconds/minutes again the message: Emergency calls only
WHAT COULD THIS PROBLEM BE??!!??! Strange.............. I really hope someone can help me out this

Hello, thanks for your reply! No, my warranty is not active anymore. My phone is 3 years old. Today i went to another city and could call and sms the whole day. No internet. When i came home, i received again the message: emergency only. How strange.. I also could'nt find a good rom or firmware to flash back my phone to the full original software and firmware... Can someone help me on that? I need the newest firmware for the samsung galaxy ace s5830, netherlands version. Or maybe a custom rom which is the most used and stable version. I would like to exclude software reasons, so it might be a hardware problem. But i think it's a software fault cause of the different roms i tried on the phone.

Again flashed the original firmware to my Ace. Wiped data and cleared cache. Everything works..... Except... the simcard. Can't call, can't sms and can't make an internet connection. So, still the same problem. The sim works well in another phone, and another simcard in the Ace gives also "Emergency call only". So it HAS to be something with my phone. Someone any idea's i can try / check now i'm very sure it's a phone problem with original new flashed firmware? I hope it's not an hardware defect......... how can i check?
UPDATE: The only simcard which works well is a T-Mobile prepaid simcard. All other simcards sometimes shows up, but most of the time not. The more strange fact is today: I went to another city and was able to call and sms the whole day. But no internet. When i came home, i received again the message: emergency only. This is so strange and makes me very sad. The phone is simlockfree, WHAT COULD IT BE So strange............
Tomorrow i had internet connection, could call and sms. My provider was shown on the screen and nothing wrong. But unfortunately just for a few minutes... No stable connection.
Someone any idea? :crying:
I too faced this problem once.....What I did is that I just formatted the system , wiped data , cache , sd ext and dalvik cache and then restored a backup of my earlier ROM in which the Sim was working ! And it was fixed....

Thanks for your reply! I did your trick but unfortunately... It did'nt help. Very interesting thing is, while i'm traveling around there is no problem, but as soon as i stop driving and walk around, the problems are back. Someone any idea on this strange problem? :crying:

You dont have any choice other than visiting the service centre. Yes they may charge you a good amount but seems none of the methods are working.
Also try contacting your service provider maybe thay know the exact reason.
