Hi,
I have a strange problem. I am unable to make calls from my P990. If i try to make calls with UMTS active my phone does nothing. It is unable to call or get called from anybody. SMS do NOT work most of the time.
In GSM mode i can send and receive SMS messages and receive calls. But i can not make a call. It rings but when the called person answers the call my phone just ends it.
I think this problem can not be ROM based, because i switched from multiple CM10 nightlys to the leaked ICS by tonyp and harsh a few days ago and the problem is still there. While i changed the rom i did every wipe i could find, cache, davlic cache, internal sd and factory reset and fixed permissions as well.
Before switching to the leaked ICS rom i tried different (at least five) basebands to overcome the in call audio bug (loud strange noise on the called persons side) which worked for a few days, but then started to develop this problem. With the leaked ICS rom i tried both the P990_V28E_00_CP.fls and P990_V28G_00_CP.fls from tonyp's download site.
Can anyone think of a way to solve this really annoying problem?
If you need more informaion, like log files, build numbers, etc. please let me know what exactly and i will try to provide them to you.
Thank you for your help.

I tried this today, same problem here.
Something i forgot to mention is that when i try to call somebody and it does not connect i have to force quit the connection to the mobile network to end the call attempt from the phone. So i have to either switch in to airplane mode, deactivate the mobile network or switch from gsm to umts or the other way around.
If i do not do this the phone will try to place the call as long as possible with no result.
Do you think i should try and go to stock froyo and see if the problem persists?
u can try to nvflash the stock rom.it'll be clean then.
i-ve had the similar problem with leak ics rom.
my sim was over 10 years old and after changing the card problem was solved.
my telecom gaved me newer one with the same number.

I flashed the stock (2.3.4) rom (kdz version) with AIO-P990-ToolKit_v1.1-fixed which uses the official LG flash tool after making sure to have the gingerbread partition layout.
So now i have an old system V20Q_00.kdz with Baseband version 1035.21_20110725 but i am still unable to make any calls.
I will try to match baseband and ril next, but if this does not work i have no idea what else to try.
Anyone else?
Thanks.
OK, didn't work either.
Next try is the rom and the baseband from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1504280.
ROM: Gueste2X "GoodBye" v2.0R
Baseband: v20l, 1035.21_20110725
Sms work without any problems, but the main problem remains. Calls, last about 3 seconds. Regardless wether the called person answers the call or not.
Calls to me are working perfect. Checked my APN settings and they are find to.
Is there any logfile i should provide to help track this problem down?
Any hints, suggestions ?
Thank you.

Well now it becomes really strange.
I tried a different sim card a few days ago. Same problem. Unable to call anybody. Today i tried it with yet another sim card. Calls worked perfect.
The only difference between the sim cards is the following. My original sim card is from bob (virtual provider from A1) and the first sim which did not work is from A1. So technically they are from the same provider. The one which worked is from a different provider (telering).
What adds to my confusion is the fact, that my sim card works perfectly in another P990 without any problem.
So somehow the combination of my P990 and sim cards from A1 and its virtual provider bob do not work. They send me a new sim card during the next week. If it works i'm happy and can finally make calls again.
If not i will change provider. :crying:

I did have this problem before.
All things are good except my original SIMS.
And solved by resetting the IMEI.

Wow. This worked. Thank you so much.
With smartflash i activated the option to Erase CAL data and reset my IMEI back to my original one.
Now all my call issues are gone. I hope it stays this way.
Thanks again.
Can someone please help?
Few days ago my phone stopped recognizing sim cards. No mather what I've tried, it still won't work.
It's acting like there's no sim card inserted.
IMEI is still there
I would appreciate any help.

Well, I'm not sure about the problem; if you are on a custom rom, it might be because of that, or incorrect flashing. Try using another ROM, and if problems persists try Stock ROM meant for your region. (it might be possible that you flashed a ROM for a different region and because of that you might have a problem..)
AND NEVER POST YOUR IMEI NUMBER ONLINE.

Thanks for the advice about IMEI number, i didn't think of that because i went crazy because my phone doesnt work.
I'll try with stock rom.
I flashed original stock rom on the device, but the problem remains. Does anyone know the solution, I am going crazy

pop your sim card out for 15 min. then put it
back in your phone.
In the second pic it is clearly showing 1 bar of signal
So how can you say sim is not being detected
No way out here

Did you notice the the SIM symbol with question mark inside it?
The phone acts like there is no SIM card inserted when it is inside all the time.

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

I think your device has a problem to make contact with sims cards, so your device have a trouble accessing read and use sim cards... You can send your device to the support service, to check or try to fix it...Have your warranty still in effect?

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.

It's very strange.. here it is Netherland's fws, try flashing your device if you want, but I've never heard that strange problem xD
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/?model=GT-S5830&pcode=XEN#firmware
Always when you'll change your custom rom do the 3 wipes to leave your device as clean as possible
Thanks for your fast reply! I did this firmware already yesterday and also wiped dat and cache + recovery... The problem keops showing up I will try this same firmware again and let you know if there are changes or not.

You can also flash whatever fw you want from EUROPE, because your device is unlocked in order to check your sim's trouble

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....

like this one.
not STK, sim contact save
and show in contact app
i hope they fix this one asap
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.

Hi
I have an unlocked P970, it recognizes my Sim card but there is no bar and it says "Not registered on network". Sim card works on other phones and it even shows my contacts on my phone and change the language and date to my provider when I insert it. I've checked the IMEI and it's correct.
Android version:2.3.4
Baseband version: XMM6160
Software version: V20C
I've tried checking 2945#*970# but all options say "Your phone is not personalized".
I did factory reset but no luck.
I deleted the Entire CP and flashed again and still no luck.
Checked a few other V10 and V20 versions, didn't help. I got security error when tried V30 versions so I switched back to V20.
I also tried http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1734330
Can anyone help?
Thanks alot
Try asking your current Network Carrier or even flash back to stock LG and ask LG themselves. Sorry if it seems obvious or doesn't help... Good luck bud! :thumbup:

KU5900 with no mobile connection
Hi everybody!
I hope to be in the correct thread, because i have a problem similar to Exergy.
A friend of mine has a locked/original KU5900 (korean version with 2.2.2) that he used without problem with the korean SIM, in Korea and in Germany.
Now he's in Germany and with a german SIM (that works in other phones) the phone has no mobile connection, neither the possibility to send SMS (only receive them, and make and receive calls).
We tried to download the configuration SMS from O2, but it tells that is not possible tried also to use APN Global from the playstore, and tried to configure manually...but also doesn't work...
Any idea?
Hi!
Resume:
My note has some weird problem with the modems. I'm getting "Unknown" baseband, modem verison, phone number, IMEI etc. with all the modems I tried except one, which shows the correct IMEI and modem version but still not working(I can even see the mobile networks with that one, but I it doesn't connect and gives me "Refresing SIM data" messages).

I always have been using custom roms(only TW) and updating my note to the latest version and I never had a problem.
One day, some months after the last rom update, started to lose the phone network conection and I was getting pop-ups with "Refreshing SIM data"(was very annoying because that was turning on the phone screen every few minutes). Sometimes I had phone network and sometimes I hadn't. The disconnections became more frequently. The phone also started to eat up the free space for apps, so I had to remove several apps to install or update even a small one.
So I decided to change to a different ROM to see if that fixes both problems, but I got the actual problem.
I was in AllianceRom v3 JB when that happened.
I flashed this AryaMod 5.5 JB following their instructions and I got this weird problem. In the "About phone" says that the Baseband version, IMEI, IMEI SV, Network and My phone number are "Unknown". I can't even search for mobile networks because it says "Insert SIM card" when I try to open the Mobile networks menu. Tehre are no signal bars, only a "denied" icon on the status bar.
I tested all JB modems and some from ICS from the "all modems" thread, but I was getting the same "Unknown" things in each one, except the XXLSO, where the Baseband version, IMEI and IMEI SV were okey. I could also find mobile networks with this modem, and the "Refreshing SIM data" thing returned, but it was not possible to connect to a network. With this one, there aresignal bars, but they are empty.
I flashed the AllianceRom and even the old ICS rom I had before, but the problem persisted, even with the modems they came with.
Now I'm on the latest Samsung rom(LT4), unmodified and flashed with odin and the problem persist.
I found this old thread. His initial problem is very similar to mine, but they don't know what caused it nor how to fix it.
I have also found something about corruped IMEIs that you can fix doing something with the ADB and restoring EFS folder, but I think that is not my case because I can see my original IMEI with the XXLSO modem (and I my EFS folder looks OK, anyway I have no backup of that).
I don't expect to get a step-by-step tutorial about how to fix this, but I hope somebody can put me in the right direction. I will post the solution if I find one!

Thanks for reading, the four first digits are 3595.
Maybe this is a stupid question, but have you tried re-seating your Sim card, or even a different Sim?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
I tried both. Also I have been using the SIM with another phone for weeks and works fine. Tried to take out the battery and wait few minutes and other "stupid" things like re-flash a ROM, re-wipe all, etc..
Maybe it's the programed obsolescence, you can use the Note as PDA but if you want a phone, go and buy another...
@ThaiDai or @nokiamodeln91 I believe knows of a way to fix this if its an EFS issue...but you don't have a developer imei
Did you have an old efs backup from when u first rooted your phone?

If it was a corrupted IMEI issue then it should not come back when the xxlso modem is flashed.. And also not sure why it goes to unknown when any other modem is used.. Could there be any physical damage to the sim tray? Dropped the phone?
I have no backup of efs... I had one "nandroid" but deleted it after everything was okey...
I could delete the efs folder, so this unknown problem will turn a known one :victory:
I dropped the phone a very few times, maybe in one of those something broke a little and has increased more with the usage? (the disconnections from the network became spontaneus and progressively).
I found this other thread, I could try the same but I can't find the original GB firmware, every link I find is in hotfile.
Check in Samsung-updates.com firmware section. There are 2 GB roms there..
I found a efs backup from may 2012, probably auto-created when first installed ICS.
I flashed the stock GB rom and restored it following this tutorial for my .tar.gz file, but didn't work, so the device may be lost. I only have 3 more backups: boot.img, data.ext4.tar and system.ext4.tar. I guess they are useless to fix this...
Thay you for you support!
