hi all
i thought i would attempt to flash my samsung s with the new beta froyo update.
i followed this guys tutorial.
( cant link to it sorry its the noobs guide with detailed instructions through kies and odin)
i used the odin approach
i managed to root the phone.
on reboot it asked for an unlock code (o2 uk) so i went on to try and follow the steps about unlocking it. which neither worked all the way through the steps.
on reboot it appears to have signal and in the about section it says i am onnected to the o2 network but when i try to make a call is says "data network not available with an ok button, which when pressed will return you to the ome screen.
any help would be greatly appreciated thanks
Almost the same problem,
installed 2.2 update successfully, the phone worked for like 3-4 days very well and after that today i discovered "Emergency calls only"
so the question now is did i bought phone which later was reported stolen? or somehow i broke it?
Anyone have any idea?
hmmm, I have the same problem! In the status menu, the number is shown, but the network, says "unknown"
Hi! I have this exact same problem except I was unlocking my phone using this tutorial:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=906255
But I didn't back up my Efs folder, now my phone is unlocked but when I put a sim card in it I have very little network and when I try to make a call I get " NO DATA NETWORK AVAILABLE".
I've tried everything but I don't know what to do!
I was thinking of two ways to fix it:
1. Reinstall froyo (not quite sure how using the samsung software as my laptop oesn't recognised the phone as a pone)
2. Downgrade to, get unlock code using market app and then upgrade to froyo again.
I know I messed up but now I really need to fix this.
Can someone PLEASE PLEASE help me out.

might need to change the modem in odin i think. just heard about it
did u try restarting the phone... just a wild guess...
I had the same issue before and was puzzled. Its actually a very simple solution:
1. Re-lock your phone, search through xda there is a code you have to enter
2. Unlock your phone
All done! Surprisingly easy
Try the Odin method in block 2 back to Eclair if ok then upgrade to Froyo .
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=818556
However your non connection might be due to not flashing a firmware with your network settings in which case manual settings of APN .
If your IMEI has changed due to flashing and you did not back up your EFS folder then little hope but do a google / search of XDA as some have reported success .

Emergency calls only
I had a custom rom that was giving that to me too. I think it means that you can access a network different from your sim (because usually emerg calls can be made from any phone I think?).
I'd try and find a rom that is optimized for your carrier or at least a modem file from a stock rom that is for your carrier. You may also need to reselect the APN settings (or enter them for your carrier). Its under settings/wireless and network/Mobile networks/access point names (use the menu button to add an APN).
you could also try re downloading and flashing the rom to make sure that is the issue. Mine said it installed OK but never booted up, redownloaded and reflashed and then it was fine but the install screens looked identical.

Hi! Thank you so much for everyone's replies!
My IMEI isn't changed and someone helped me check my efs files and they are all ok. I'm going to try and reflash froyo through the samsung software to see if the network lock comes back and then try to unlock again. For this I'm going to unroot the phone and follow samsungs' instructions.
I'm afraid to relock the phone as there are reports that say it completely messes everything up!
But I'll keep you guys posted! Wish me luck!!!!
PS. Any other suggestions are more than welcome!
So, a quick update on my situation.
I uninstalled busybox and unrooted my phone using the oneclick root tool.
Did a factory format and, surprise surprise, my phone now works perfectly!
Apart from the fact that it doesn't connect to kies, but that's a whole another issue!
Tank you so much to all of you who answered my cry for help!

Thought I would share based on my experiences on trying to get this phone to work on t-mobile. It works on ATT 3g/T-mobile Edge, but still a pretty cool phone to have.
Also another note, this is a mod that will only go through on Windows. You will need ROOT EXPLORER app for this method to work.
1 - Make sure you are on the stock XT862 ROM, if you aren't flash it via this method found here: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/4370-sbf-droid-3-fastboot-files-55959-and-56890/
2 - Make sure your phone is rooted, if not download the following and follow the steps found here: http://www.psouza4.com/droid3/
3 - Unlock the phone. This can be accomplished by purchasing the unlock code, and later entering the code upon insertion of a sim card. (T-mobile ATT sim cards will work, but you will get an error saying UNLOCK FAILED, this is NORMAL do not freak out)
4 - Download the following files and unzip it to your desktop: http://www.mediafire.com/?y1wjw775v8itsx3
5 - Click Start and open cmd.
6 - Type in the following in cmd:
'cd desktop'
'cd fastboot'
'moto-fastboot flash radio radio.img'
ONCE it flashes, then enter:
'moto-fastboot reboot'
7 - Use root explorer to push the build.prop into the system folder
8 - Reboot, select GSM/UMTS in Network Settings.
AND BAM now it works. If there is any confusion please let me know.
Nice! Is that the XT883 radio you're flashing or a real unlocked (and signed) XT862 radio?
Also - change
Code:
ro.mot.phonemode.vzwglobalphone=1
to
Code:
ro.mot.phonemode.vzwglobalphone=0
in build.prop to get normal reading on signal strength indicator.
You can also change
Code:
ro.telephony.default_network=7
to
Code:
ro.telephony.default_network=3
so phone starts automatically in GSM/UMTS mode after hard reset.
Can anyone confirm that it's running on AT&T with 3G/4G?

Thanks man I'll reupload when I get back home with the edited bits . It is the XT883 radio.
Nice Guide!
I've read some people have had trouble unlocking the D3....and apparently it could be due to it being used on the Verizon network who then alter the unlock code via some update.
Anyone know if there is any truth in this? (I'm awaiting the delivery of a used D3 so would be handy to know).

Even after the update, if you restore it to the first link and then follow the steps, you will be fine. It can still be unlocked.
Awesome! I am about to try this on my friend's droid 3. Are there issues with the market (as some have mentioned in a previous thread)?
---------- Post added at 12:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:00 PM ----------
I am stuck on <waiting for device> in the command prompt after telling it to flash the radio. What sort of USB connection should I be selecting?
EDIT: I'm an idiot.... I figured it out!
Is anyone else who is using this method on AT&T experiencing super slow data speeds? I have tried the sim card in an at&t branded phone and it seems to work ok. On the Droid 3, I am getting a ping of 2500~ ms, and speeds in the 15-60kbps range.
I can't seem to add an APN and connect to the 3G network. Does anyone else have this issue? I am using a Bell SIM at the moment
Follow all the steps, no luck here
When I put the unlock code, phone shows for a sec "requesting unlock" and goes back to a subsidy lock message with a discard dialog box.
After that, I followed all other steps, and still enter unlock code appears
Any ideas?
I dont have an att sim card, Im just using foreign sim cards cause Im outside US.

You can always call the carrier and make sure they are allowing your phone to connect. I'm not sure if this is the problem, but I read about another AT&T branded 4G phone (the D3 will never get 4G) getting only edge because the carrier thought it was foreign, and they just called in and gave the IMEI number to get access.
The customer service rep may not understand your problem, but just tell them the truth that you want to use your compatible device on your valid account and they should redirect you to someone who can help.
I can verify this works on T-Mobile and AT&T since I've tested it on both. Didn't test 3g on AT&T though cuz I didn't think about it lol. I know it allows the connection to umts in the settings though.
The OP poster helped me get it working on my phone just make sure you follow the directions closely and it's pretty simple. If your unlock codes aren't working because you got them off the internet, you may need to have the phone put on Verizon temporarily to get them to give you a code. Just ask a friend with a valid account to help you out.
Good luck to everyone, this is a great hack that definitely saves some money while letting us use this cool phone. I will have to edit my build.prop as mentioned above to fix the reboot network loss problem, thanks for that as well!
Droid 3 with stock xt862 ROM working on T-Mobile via xt883 radio.img & custom build.prop
If verizon changed the codes while phones are connected to his network, changes could only be stored on a new bootloader.
There is no other unwritable part on the phone.
Wonder if the original poster used an ebay code or a verizon one...
Nice job! Pretty amazing what can be done with fastboot and signed radio images!
Custom ROM
What will happen if somebody follows this procedure and unlock the phone for AT&T but afterwards flash another rom? Will the radio still be unlocked for AT&T?

As long as that ROM you're flashing does not have radio image in it, you should be fine. If you meant sim lock - once unlocked, it will remain unlocked forever.

I was asking about radio unlock, i know sim unlock is permanent. But has anyone tried to install any rom after the radio unlock and if yes which one?
thanks

Now, I haven't tried flashing another ROM since flashing the xt883 radio.img, because I really don't mind the stock ROM with some build.prop tweaks and the help of Zeam Launcher. I would assume that any ROM you flash would cause the build.prop and radio.img to be replaced with new ones, made specifically for that ROM. You should probably consult with the developer of the ROM you want to use, and ask them if the build.prop changes specific to this process will have issues with their ROM. The xt883 radio.img shouldn't have any conflicts, but I believe it will still require the custom build.prop file which is found in the OP, or at a minimum the specific changes which allow this tweak to work.

Will loading XT883 radio undo the wifi-hotspot hack?
Hello,
I have searched multiple forums for hours today and have figured out what is going on with my HTC Vivid. (It has been upgraded to AT&T Official ICS.)
It was working fine up until yesterday where it was not receiving a signal from the mobile network and the signal icon has an X through it. The SIM card is properly inserted and another SIM card has been tried as well. Looking through other threads it seems like the Radio RIL files may be missing or corrupt. The IMEI number and *#06# code does not show an IMEI number either. The baseband version says unknown. I am not sure what happened as I have never loaded any other ROM on it.
I downloaded the Official RUU ICS upgrade ROM today and tried reflashing it, with no luck.
What is interesting (and the other person who had the radio problem) is that when I left the phone sit off overnight and then turned it on in the morning, the phone connected to the mobile network and I had a signal. When I restarted the phone, hours later, the phone lost connection to the mobile network and that is when I started digging and found the problem with the baseband version being unknown.
Is there anything anyone can suggest? Can I reflash the baseband files or copy them from someone somehow using ADB? It seems like there is where my problem lays. I've searched for ways on how to downgrade from ICS to the official GB stock rom, but it doesn't seem like it can be accomplished.
(I tried downloading the Holiday Cingular version of the GB stock rom but the update failed. I read about the ICS HBOOT version being different and not allowing it.)
Thank you in advance for helping and any suggestions.
Have you gotten a new sim card yet? That needs to be your first step. My captivate did the same thing and turned out the sim went bad

Yes I have tried a different sim card. I don't believe thats the issue though being that it worked with the same sim after I let the phone sit overnight. From reading about others experience, it doesn't seem that the sim is the issue but more the baseband version and imei information missing.

I had a similar problem and thought I solved it, but I later realised all my "solutions" didn't bring back the network but coincided with its reappearing cos no same "solution" worked more than once.
It's a very weird problem as the network shows up once in a while and when I'm using Mobile Network for Data, my phone hangs again and the IMEI, Network, baseband disappears on reboot...till further notice. I gave up trying and concluded it's either a bad modem (hardware) or something AT&T knows about!
You can get HBOOTS for both GB and ICS via Hasoons AIO kit
Flash the HBOOT, Flash the Image from Cingular GB RUU and I wish you luck!!!

I found the download link, but the website says they're updating their drives, so who knows how much longer that will take.
Also, are you saying I should just use the tools within the kit to flash the HBOOT back to the previous version compatible with GB and then flash the RUU GB image after? Can I do that with the phone connected via USB or does it have to be flashed from the SD card? If it has to be flashed from the SD card, how do I go about doing that? If it can be done from the phone via USB, does the phone have to be in recovery mode?
I have tried reflashing the ICS RUU multiple times w/ version 3.26.502.52 and 3.26.502.56, both do not fix the issue. Do the baseband and or radio files NOT get flashed within these updates?
Thanks for the response!

Thanks for the quick reply.
Your thread was the one I saw earlier with the simliar problem that I am having, only I have not loaded any custom ROMS. The phone just stopped receiving the signal the other day. I am still waiting for the download website to become available to use the tool to perform the flash of HBOOT, however, once I do that, will that erase the ICS rom from my phone? If so, what steps do I have to perform to get it in a "download mode" to accept the AT&T GB RUU? I'm a little confused on that part.
I read your first thread and I am a bit confused on exactly how you were able to correct the baseband/RIL issue (which I am assuming is the root of my issue). Do I have to extract some files from the RUU executable? Are the commands you provided to be used in ADB? I am confused as to what to do with [setprop ro.baseband 3.26.5XXX (<--- mainver: in android-info.txt in RUU.zip)] from your post. If that command is copying a file or just setting information (almost like as a registry setting within Windows) to point to the file or set a version number. Also if the XXX needs to have a certain number.
I thank you for your time and am trying my hardest to understand what to do to accomplish these steps.

I did find the extracted files within the RUU executable and found the rom.zip which included the .img files among other files I assume needed as sources to flash the phone. I see a radio.img file would I be able to do anything with that?
Thank you.

And I have a question, if the radio/baseband files are included in the RUU flash, what is happening as to why it is not being reflashed, or if it is being reflashed, why it is disabling the mobile network and providing an Unknown version to Baseband and clearing the IMEI number?

Here's where I am:
I successfully unlocked my bootloader, downgraded to GB, rooted. Tried to gain root access through adb terminal but it was not working properly.
I relocked my bootloader. Installed the ICS RUU AT&T ROM update. Unlocked my bootloader, rooted.
I see the commands you ran in your previous post. I am also receiving the same message of N/A when running the getprop ro.baseband
I tried the second command setprop ro.baseband 3.26.5XXX and then restarted the phone. I have tried it as posted, and also with swapping out the version that is located in my android-info.txt file: 3.26.502.56
Still no luck with setting the baseband version. IMEI still is cleared out.
Am I doing something wrong?

Hey thanks for all of your suggestions. I contacted AT&T the day everything happened to see if it was on the block list. They said no. I tried multiple things including trying to re-flash the radio, but I was getting a signature failed error that I could not get around. I really think that's what the problem is. I gave up and ended up selling it.

Exactly. It was my sister's phone. The sh*tty thing is we bought two off of ebay at the same time, 1 for me, 1 for her. Well, her phone was not in the box (either never shipped or stolen) so I had to file a claim through eBay which took 3 weeks to get the money back. Meanwhile, I gave her my phone (which is the phone in reference) to use instead. I bought her an iPhone instead now, along with purchasing one myself. I loved Android, but the bugs and fragmentation is getting too much for me to handle.
Dude, if you don't have an IMEI showing up, something is WAY wrong. That goes beyone the RIL not working... The RIL is probably fine. If your phone doesn't have an IMEI somehow, the cell towers are NOT, NO WAY, NEVER EVER going to register your phone on their network. You can put a billion SIM cards in there, or flash a billion stock ROMS, and if you don't have an IMEI, you will never be able to connect.
Something is probably corrupt or broken in your firmware or the hardware itself. I think your device is probably screwed.
My advice, is follow the steps to put your phone back to stock (including changing the bootloader message back to **LOCKED** and S-ON), and get it back to the phone company. They will be able to tell something is boned on the phone right away since it isn't displaying an IMEI.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news and for your many wasted hours... But on the plus side, you now know a LOT about flashing and how your phone works now
Good luck with everything man! Hope they get you up and running soon!

I am currently having the same issues right now, it works if i leave the phone off for 1 hr it will work until i reboot then its down again, tried every thing possible, airplane mode will crash, reflashing the radios from gb and ics does nothing, setprop does nothing really. from this point it feels like a hardware issue.
sorry to revive an old thread, i just wanted to know if anyone came across this issue and had it fixed
i will get a log to see if there is errors showing up
Return it.

A couple days ago I followed the instructions to unlock my D3 to use on T-Mobile. Everything went perfect and I was using it with T-Mo. I just decided to flash to a custom rom (MavRom 4.5) and now I'm getting a general error of my SIM not being detected. I do not think there is anything wrong with my SIM since I was just using it in the phone this morning. I have tinkered with the build.prop and tried using a custom one too. It was like the phone was trying to work with my SIM but eventually failed or does so immediately. I just want to use my phone. I really don't know what's going on. I'm honestly tired of searching too. I'm kind of at a loss. Please someone help. It'd be much appreciated.
Mmmm... tell me some things:
1- Is your phone unlocked in some way?
2- Do you have tried another ROM? (i think yes)
3- use the base build.prop
4- do you have XT860 or XT862? because MAVRom has 2 versions..

Try replacing libmoto_ril.so file on /system/lib.
Follows attached. Unzip and place on the folder mentioned above, overwriting the existing one.
This is the only way that I'm able to use custom roms made for XT862. I hava a XT860 running on GSM networks, so this could help.
Probably after that you will need to check if you need to set up the APNs accordingly.
I'd just go back to what was working. There is nothing in Maverick that is worth the hassle of a phone that doesn't work the way that you want.

Hm, I use Maverick 4.0 without any issues (4.5 is the same thing with overclock scripts, but they cause a battery drain, so I stuck with 4.0). The only issue I have (rarely) is sometimes it'll say invalid sim, but usually it'll still work, just have to reboot to fix that. Long as you have the XT883 radio and proper edited build.prop it *should* work. Please do NOT use any libs for the XT860, you will only make the radio not work at all and potentially cause damage. The XT860 libs were made for a GSM only radio, the XT862 has a dual CDMA/GSM radio, so the libs do not know how to control the radio.
If you require any files or info, let me know. Where I work happens to have refarmed T-Mobile's HSPA to 1900MHz so my D3 can use it. You might have just missed a step somewhere or missed a permission.
Greetings. I've got a sprint har/kar m8 s-off (sunshine) latest bad boyz 2.1. Thanks to OMJ I got sim working in europe, but the only working mode is GSM/UMTS and automatic which is choosing the same. Therefore I don't have internet trough my operator ( wifi is working ofc )
I guess it because we have different band frequencies or something like that but is it possible to fix this, because this is starting to annoying me a lot!
As using it in Europe I wish to have nothing in common with SPrint, Is it possible to put a ROM not for sprint or edited one without any sprint stuff? I am paranoic type when it comes to phones , are there kinda "anonymous" rom which fit my M8? I think I am ready to turn back Google Play and all these stuff...... They are really annoying when it comes to access.
Thank you!

Thank you for your answer! I tried it several times with no luck.
Please note I have sim unlocked my phone while a go (thank you) using these instructions http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52145162&postcount=2 . My phone is having signal and I can talk but no internet at all.
When i turn on mobile data under it is shown
Code:
Disconnected because service is unavailable
. Inside the Menu on the first option
Code:
4G settings
under network provider i see mine. On
Code:
Access point names
are shown 2 APNs - wap-gprs.MyProvider. and mms-gprs.Myprovider. Manual search for networks is also working (shows me all operators here and a yellow star for mine)
In your guide you have to change a system .apk file which is otherwise patched automatically if you use the guide I have done myself before. Which only says me mine has been already patched when I followed your guide. Anyway I have replaced it and done everything but still no connection.
I saw @Cashreedhar (first guide I used author) says its Permanent and until now after several formats and rom changes ( tried venom 2.4 but went back) I haven't got gsm signal problems so far. I really doesn't understand why the magic is not breaking after reinstall (changing rom) (does the patched .apk stays or no) but its also gives me a clue I may be have already messed up something.
Excuse me for my confusing language but I am also confused and that's how it looks like :laugh:
My noobish logic ends here, waiting for lolipop 5 and try again : )))))))))
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hey if you followed the procedures, everything should be fine in there. Try adding apn manually for your network and force HSDPA. If you get 3g signal, you should also be getting the internet.
