Try updating the baseband. It might work. Find a guide on how to do it. Or repair phone using PCC.

[Q] Upgrading to ICS has lost me my signal :(

Hi,
I have a Galaxy S GT-i9000 on Orange, UK. I've only had it a week because I bought it off my brother. I upgraded to ICS 4.0.3 and although it seems fine, there is no signal at all, EVER. Although it get's wireless Internet! And the SIM isn't damaged in any way, so it is definitely a software issue. The Internet is a bit strange, because it is coming from my network, not Wi-Fi (it's off, as is bluetooth).
I'm liking ICS, but obviously I need a signal. It was easy to upgrade, I just booted from the zip I placed in the bootloader. But I can't downgrade the same way. I've tried looking for old Gingerbread files, but can't find any! All the Depositfiles.com links are dead. So, ideally I would like to stick to ICS and find a signal fix, failing that I guess it's a downgrade that I need?
Or should I upgrade to Jellybean?
I couldn't find anything on people having similar problems with network loss, but I'm 99.99% certain it is the software causing the issue.
Thanks for reading.

Have you tried flashing a modem ?

I'm downloading DarkyROM now, but it's going to take 2 hours! Is this the right way to flash a modem? I've not done it before.

Hi
I had a similar problem on my old SGSI. I flashed an ics rom (don't remeber the name) and everything worked apart from the network so no phone calls and no internet apart from with Wifi. Anyway i googled the problem and tried loads of different solutions. After flashing more roms i ended up with the DarkyROM_v11.0_black_edition with the 3.0.17-semaphore_ics_1.2.5s kernel.
This didn't help either. In a last minute test at the end of what felt like the longest day in my life i checked to find that i had damaged one of the contact pins that read the sim card. I bent it back and everything has worked since then. And it's worked well!

Thanks, it was the modem needed flashing! Very simple too I also downgraded to Gingerbread which is faster.
Thanks everyone :cyclops:

[Q] Exhibit 2 4G Wi-Fi Error after installing custom ROM

Hi,
I bought a samsung exhibit II 4g from walmart last year. The phone was not very responsive for the past couple of months and hence I contacted T-Mobile customer support. They provided me the instructions to upgrade the firmware on my phone and I tried that with Samsung Kies. It is one of the worst software I have ever seen in my life. The firmware upgrade stalled at 3% and the only option I had was to take the battery out of the phone. Then when I turned on my phone, I got a message saying "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue". I tried to fix it samsung kies and it did not work. My phone was not working for 3 days when I was doing the research to fix it.
Finally, I followed the Exhibit Wiki on xda-developers (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2131576) and followed the ODIN method to install the custom ROM (I could see that it is the latest firmware for this phone). Everything worked on the third try, but Wi-Fi was not. When I clicked on Wi-Fi from settings, it displays "Error" under it. I tried Wi-Fi fixer, but it did not help.
I tried a factory reset and that did not help too.
Can some one help me? I need to get Wi-Fi working on my phone.
Thanks,
Balaji.

Hi,
I did the following things and now my wifi is working.
1. Installed custom rooted kernel t679-root-v1.8.zip.
2. Installed Root Uninstaller Pro by downloading the .apk from playstore and installed it.
3. Uninstalled some stock apps from the phone.
4. Installed CWM Recovery.
Tried turnin on Wi-Fi and now it works.
Thanks,
Balaji.

Glad to hear it is all working out now. Don't worry about root uninstaller. Chances are you will never need it. At least you got here before you managed bricking the phone from following other guides not meant for this phone.
Good luck and remember the only dumb question is the one not asked. Feel free to ask when you find you need advice or guidence. Someone will always be here to help.

I see that xda-developers forum is very active and provides a wealth of information. Though it took couple of days to understand the basics and things, I was able to fix the phone using the information from the forums. Thanks for keeping this forum active and up-to-date. I am marking this thread as SOLVED.

HTC One caller mic not working

Earlier today I changed my s-on to s-off, ever since this moment I have not been able to call people properly. Everything else on my phone works fine can receive and send SMS, data through apps and on browsers works. But my contact are saying that at times my line is very crackely, and always quiet, sometimes it does not work at all but for the most part is very very quiet, even when I am carrying 3G signal.
I have rooted my HTC One and am using CyanogenMod 10.1, have not had Any problems with calls and the is before.
Does this sound like a problem with the software or the hardware to you guys??
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

That's hardware my friend. I have the same problem. I'm sending my phone back to T-Mobile for a new one free of charge.

Do you expect there to be any problems with regards to phone having been rooted and s-off'd??

It's possible. Run an RUU that's for your carrier and s-on again. Just to be on the safe side.

Sorry to be a noob, but where would i get the RUU for my phone HTC One (M7) and carrier O2?

I'm on my phone atm, so I can't give you a link, but search the development thread. You should find what you need in there.

Thats weird... I got the same problem as you... I did the s-off, flashed latest firmware for 4.2.2, then flashed 13.3 arhd rom and still no mic. I have to put my calls on speakers.
Will try to flash a new rom and firmware... Its probably a problem with the firmware.

Im completely stuck, trying to unroot, but cant due to my device not installing correctly. Have tried four different computers running win7 and Vista. HTC One stock phone installs perfectly but my rooted device wont. Have tried unistalling all htc products/drivers, rebooting, installing the driver 4.2.00.1 or whatever it is, then rebooting and plugging phone in and still not working.
Is there any way that i can unroot without having to connect to computer?

Hi guys,
I have the same problem which I posted about here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2426212.
I also saw this problem mentioned on other forums. Did any of you find this roughly coincided with the 4.2.2 update?
EDIT: Forgot to mention that I am on stock 4.2.2 3 UK ROM.

You said you had the same problem, I have just downloaded CyanogenMod 10.2 for android 4.3. I flashed cm 10.2 along with gapps, setup the phone, made my first call and poff the handset caller mic works.
So it was a firmware problem, not sure why it stopped working after 5 months but hey ho, operating One again.

So this is the first I have heard that reflashing can solve the problem of the bottom mic quietness/distortion.
Would love to hear if other people found that reflashing helps.
Given that many people are using the stock firmware without issue, it leads me to believe it might be some configuration error that gets wiped on reflash and there is potentially a fix without reflashing. Maybe?

Same issue for me - ARHD 4.2.2 and S-Off.
Managed to get into a world of problems trying to return the phone to stock so I could return it to the store. Will try 4.3 and hope things resolve themselves.
Thanks for sharing!

Please let us know if it works!

Unfortunately, upgrading to 4.3 has not resolved the mic issue.

iTroll :
Maybe you can try to flash the new firmware 4.3, full format /sdcard, when its done, reboot to recovery mode and adb push rom.zip /sdcard ... Personally it's what I did...

Have you tried the diag test *#*#3424#*#* then audio test... Theres a mic test there (thanks iTroll for the hint)
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app

Thanks for the tip. The audio test passed which leaves me confused as the mic is definitely not working well at all when I test it in call. I wonder if there's a different ROM or version that I should install...any ideas?

This is *exactly* the same symptoms I have then. My mic test passes too.
I wonder could it be over zealous noise cancellation? Does anyone know if it can be disabled for testing purposes?

I just tried installing ARHD Google Edition and no change. Dont know if it's worth playing about more with any other ROMs / Kernels etc, or just to try and get this back to stock to return it (as I'm sure they'll blame me for messing around with root / CID / s-off / rom - and they may be right!)

If it is any consolation, I am on stock, never rooted or unlocked and have the same issue.

[Q] Xperia T protoype WIFI and Radio issues

The problem: Xperia T prototype (0044 IMEI) will not run stable on most stock firmwares. WIFI only works with the ICS stock WIFI module (7.0.A.1.303 FW or flashing module to other firmwares). Also, baseband and IMEI is blanked out in settings. The radio is not working at all.
So after testing a lot of firmwares and roms (I must've flashed this phone 3,8 billion times by now...), this is the result:
NONE of the stock firmwares I've tried (almost all of them I think...) help
CM 10 seems to be working completely. At least radio and WIFI are fine for now.
CM10.1 and 11: WIFI working, baseband and IMEI are shown, I can scan networks, but can not register in any network.
CM10 is using Baseband 8960A-AAAAANAZQ-10015019-33, while 10.1 and 11 use 8960A-AAAAANAZQ-10015031-47.
So far so good (boy was I happy when I was able to dial a number in CM10!!!).
Now I would like to get a stock ROM working.
The question: How will I get the stock ROMs working? I would have to find out what CM is using that stock isn't. I'm actually quite confused about the fact that even the oldest stock (7.0.A.1.303, couldn't find any older one) would not work, while CM 10 will.
steeserious said:
I read that some people here are using LT30p prototypes without issues and I'm wondering if any of you guys can help me getting there too.
When I got the phone, it was basically a mess. Service Menu will FC when trying to open configuration, loads of FCs here and there...it wouldn't wake up when the screen turns off, the WIFI wasn't working, Radio not working at all...
I was able to solve WIFI and FC by installing PACMAN v.23. This was mentioned on another forum.
So I'm wondering about the modules, lib, baseband etc that's used in there. Maybe someone can shed some light.
PACMAN shows this baseband: 8960A-AAAAANAZQ-10015031-47
WIFI is also working with 7.0.A.1.303 ICS and 7.0.A.3.223 ICS. Flashing the stock ICS WIFI module to other firmware versions fixes WIFI.
While I can search for networks in PM, I cannot log on to any of them. On stock the phone will detect when a SIM card is inserted and will reboot. After reboot, it will say there's no SIM card installed though.
Also, PAC will show the IMEI in the settings, all the stock firmwares don't.
@godfather4her: I'll mention you here since you might have some info on this .

Did some more testing and updated first post. Radio is finally working with CM 10.

I didn't mention that some of the stock firmwares use the same baseband as the one in CM10, that doesn't help though.
Also, coming from CM10 and flashing stock without baseband doesn't help.
This thread has had 150 views so far, but no responses. I know this might not be the usual problems that people have to deal with, but someone surely must have an idea

well u had the gut to unlock bootloader in order to run a custom rom like CM or Pacmac...etc... i didn't have because my phone is still under warranty and unlocking BL will void it.. that's why i sent to sony for a repair.
but i was wondering why you're using a prototype in the first place?
well i guess it's for devs or testing purposes, and it might be not the same like the official release. you're still lucky to have it detecting radio and wifi, because of a working Baseband and IMEI... refer that to sony by asking them to which country your phone was branded, then from that, get a hold on the initial firmware came installed in ur phone, might be some differences from SI(sale info) to another.
go to sony support, if u would like to either make a live chat with an agent or place a call, and ask them about your phone info as i told you. they would just request the imei number, then they will give u all the information u need about ur phone.
at least this will help you get to the correct stock u need to flash (hopefully to bring the radio functionality on).
good luck bro!

Well, ebay...you never know what you get
I didn't buy a prototype on purpose. It would be kinda foolish to spend money on a phone when you don't know whether you'll get it working again. Even though I have to admit that I appreciate the challenge
Prototypes are not supported at all. No warranty, no nothing. Of course I tried to get some information out of the support guys, but as I expected, that was a dead end.

I recently got Xperia T prototype as you said (IMEI 0044**). Can you tell me did you find anything more? I bought it with not working GSM and working WiFi. I tried to install stock firmware and now I don't have GSM neither WiFi?
What did you do? What should I do?
PS: I managed to get it working with CM10 rom

I have xt prototype and i installed 9.2.a.0.205 central european version and all is working normally. Try that version. And battery life is great.

Lucky you.
There are prototypes that seem to have slightly different hardware. I've heard from other people having XT protos that are running just fine on most, if not all firmware. Unfortunately, mine is not one of those.

Stock firmware. No root, locked bl.
