I've tried my sim card in my friend's phone, it worked. This problem is happening me again. I've fixed it once, but now i cant and ill be trying to downgrade to 2.3.6 -> 4.0.4 -> 4.3.1. Will this help?

IMEI is okay?
Maybe try flashing upon to 4.3.1 without any sim and after being on the version you want then inserting the SIM ...

Yeahh, i flashed 2.3.6 and it detect my sim card -_-

Yep, it sounds like you lost your IMEI by flashing directly to 4.3.1.
Do as you said: 2.3.6, 4.0.4, 4.3.1 (you don't need to flash anything I think going from ICS to JB) and that should resolve your problem

Good luck and let us know if your sim will be detect when flashing new to 4.3.1 :good::good:

Very strange guys, i flashed cm 10.2 M1 and it detected my sim, then i flashed slim and dirty unicorns and it doesnt detect my sim. I think its something very random thing, or i every time i want my sim to work i have to downgrade 2.3.6 -> 4.0.4 -> 4.3.1
Update: Now im on latest cm and.. my sim works, dont know what happened.

CyanogenMod works reliable with the i9000. IMHO many of other custom roms based on Android 4+ don't describe exactly enough in their OP which ROM should be upgraded from to have bug-free working device.
It is obviously the ultimate key to have them working well. Backup your EFS folder now to avoid future problems with dissapeared IMEI No.

Yes, yes its working without problem till now. I think the first time installing a rom you have to remove the sim card and after setting up the rom you have to turn off and put the sim card or downgrading to 2.3.6 -> 4.0.4 -> 4.3.1.

i am having same problem, but its with my other phone Huawei U8860 Honor,,,,, i did not find any posts about u8860 here in xda.

Not neccesarily. As long as you go GB -> ICS -> JB, and let ICS boot at least once in between, you should be fine.

I9001 GPS issue

As the title says, i have a problem when trying to use GPS. First time i tried to use it on a gb rom and it didn't lock to any sattelites.
I tried modifying gps.conf, both on ics and gb, with no luck. And i don't want to open up my phone since i don't want to lose my warranty.
What i wanted to know, is there any way i could try to solve this, assuming it's not hardware related?
I'm now using the arco CM9 beta build 2 with castagnaIT v6.7 kernel.
Thanks in advance.

I've tried 2 versions of that, didn't help. Is there a way i can reset it via codes? I've seen something like this in a topic but when i entered that code nothing happened.

I personally think it is hardware related. If you flash an other rom and the problem is still there, than at least it isn't a software problem.
I suggest that you flash the stock firmware and see if the problem os still there. If that is the case, contact samsung or your service provider
*note that you wont get warranty with cyanogenmod installed on your phone.

Yeah, I'm gonna try that sometime. And I don't really need gps, so i don't know if i'm gonna take it to warranty, because they're gonna hold it for like 2 weeks. But thanks!
Try the app Gps status & Toolbox. Reset gps & download a-gps. Maybe it'll work for you like it did for me. Let us know.

Kies Issue with Updating

Hi guys.
Been a while since i posted but here is the situation:
My friend has a s5830 and its still on froyo! 2.2.1. Completely stock (not even rooted). She asked me to help as when plugged into kies it says:-
"devices firmware not supported to update via kies"
its shows firmware version kb7 kb1 kb6 (h3G)
Now i know i can flash using odin (know my way around an ace like the back of my hand) but she doesnt want me to do that. All im trying to find out is why Kies says this?
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!
Is it an open sim galaxy ace because I had the same problem with it
don't blame me it wrote itself

If you mean sim unlocked then yes. She just tried another carrier sim card and it worked.
how did you resolve this?
There isn't a way to solve that issue as far as I no, the open sim mobiles get updated last or rarely updated so I had to update manually through Odin

Haha, I know this, you know this but seeing as she sits next to me at work and that is where i will do it she might just notice! If i had my way it would already be flashed with CM9/10!

Beven using it since it same out so bit bored of it to be honest. But your right its more stable / functional.
There's a new apocalypse rom due to come out with in the next couple of days its already been tested and sounds good so far I'm going to flash it as soon as its out
don't blame me it wrote itself
Screw stock roms. Flash CM 7.2 stable (download from CyanogenMod official site) and you will have GB 2.3.7 with tons of options and features. Everything works in that rom and after flash is fully working, no need to do anything. Better than this? Hope you find a solution. Bye

Thanks for your reply, I know CM is great, I use it on my ace and note. The point of this thread was to find the reason why a friend ace cannot be updated by using Kies......

What ROM you are using? It's probably a ROM problem.

S Advance have nasty issue with imei number when you try different roms except the stock one. Don't know how to get over this myself I got this phone few days ago. Anyway try calling *#06# if you have bad imei number (null/null) then you have to go back to rom you had before or you won't be able to use your sim card.

It can be different on you current ROM, but on CM10, CM10.1, CM10.2 and on CM11 it's settings, security, set up SIM card lock.

If it's not there then you have to try another ROM. CM10.2 is sure as I tried it on it.
