[Q] HELP SIM CARD Not recognized after flashing rom - Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Dear XDA I9070 experts I really need some help here.
First I want to apologize if I have some errors, my english is not very good, so sorry about that, I will try to do my best to explain and give the best background information if anyone can help me.
My actual phone is an Motorola Atrix 2, and I have flashed roms several times following the procedures explained on the threads here in this awesome site XDA step by step. So being able to flash roms with no problem at all I tried to do the same on my wifes old Samsung I9070.
I followed a thread that explained how to flash a ROM from GB to Kit Kat for the I9070 step by step here on XDA. The thread is this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2198341
It all went fine but being that the phone was not being used by anybody I forgot to insert a SIM CARD before the flashing procedure. I really don't know if that makes a difference, but when the mobile booted the first time after the ROM flashing I inserted my SIM card and to my surprise I didnt recognized it... booted the phone again several times and nothing, but the SIM card is being detected right away on my Motorola.
So I tried to do some research about that and some people suggested to go back to stock firmware, and others told that it was a problem with the EFS folder.
So I tried going back to stock JB with ODIN, but this time with the SIM CARD inserted, and nothing, the same problem. So I tried inspecting the EFS folder and I think that is the problem but I need some advice on this.
The EFS FOLDER has this content:
A bunch of files named CRYPTPROP...
DECRYPT_KEY
ESSIV
GUARDFIL
NV.LOG
NV_DATA.BIN.MD5
And some folders inside... Thats all. I didnt made any backups of the phone or the EFS folder
So I tried using the code *#06# and it gives a valid IMEI 3544******* etc
I really don't know how the phone still shows a valid IMEI with the file NV_DATA.BIN missing, so I checked the phone information and found this:
Inside SETTINGS:
MODEL NUMBER: GT-I9070
ANDROID VERSION: 4.1.2
BASEBAND VERSION: I9070XXLQL
KERNEL VERSION: 3.0.31 - 1485715
BUILD NUMBER: JZO54K.I9070XXLQL
Inside SETTINGS - STATUS:
NETWORK: UNKNOWN
SERVICE STATE: OUT OF SERVICE
MOBILE NETWORK STATE: DISCONNECTED
MY PHONE NUMBER: UNKNOWN
IMEI: 3544******
Maybe the EFS folder is not all bad, I really dont know, please I need some advice here. My motorola screen is dying and I need to recover this one as it is a good phone. Thanks in advance for your help.

Your baseband is not missing, but anyway you can try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2677807
P.S. And you did factory reset after going from GB to JB?

Any other suggestions?, I really don't know what else to do... thanks in advance for your help and time.

What JB rom did you flash? Link? Perhaps any Baseband problem ... and where are you from?

Thank you Flo0008 for you help... I used a firmware from Sammobile... this one exactly I9070XXLQL_I9070ITVLQ5_ITV as it was one of the more recent ones.
By the way I'm from Venezuela, but I bought the phone new and unlocked from amazon, the phone is in mint condition and my wife used it for more than a year without any problems, also we use the same carrier... it was not used anymore since December 2013 and recently I charged it for a full battery and did the firmware flashing and since then I'm facing the No SIM card, Insert SIM card message.
Could it be the firmware I selected I9070XXLQL_I9070ITVLQ5_ITV the problem?... It's from Italy... maybe you can recommend using another one.
Thanks in advance!

I had similar situation once when I tried different SIM card. My solution was to put SIM a bit twisted into its bed.
[\] instead of [|].
It took few tries but finally it got detected and working.
Sent from my SGS Adv. using xda-developers app.

most likely your phone was *not* SIM unlocked before you flashed it: I did the same thing to mine and read many similar stories here and there.
I never found a solution and bricked my phone while trying to fix it. I went up to copiing a full ROM dump from another working 9070P: the copy succeded and phone worked (IMEI cloned etc...) but still no SIM card recognized (it was a spare free one so not a problem
If I manage to achieve my unbrick procedure (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701363), we might be able to fix that by reseting the full ROM to a valid state.

Facing the No Sim issues
i am facing the same problem, and it was all of a sudden."No SIM"
I sent the phone to service center, but they failed to repair.
i have tried everything, hard reset, downgrade to GB, upgrading again to JB (via ODIN), custom ROMs, but no luck.
what i figured out is my phone works on some older SIM cards, which have square shaped Chip (like the one in BSNL sim).
any suggestions????

I've got the similar problem. My phone says "please put the sim card into the phone". This happened after I flashed Juwes 5.1 custom rom. My IMEI was corrupted after flashing, then I managed to restore it after I edited the nv_data.bin. Now I have an IMEI number, but the phone cannot recognize any simcard.
Reflashing to the stock rom with Odin doesn't help. I've already tried XXJVQ, now I've got XWJVI. Neither hard reset nor flight mode helps. I've already tried to delete nv_data.bin and nv_data.bin.md5 and reboot, but result is still the same. I cannot find any tipps for solution. Have you got an idea what could I try?
Here some information on my phone:
german version, not branded
*#06# shows the right IMEI
*2767*4387264636#:
Sellout SMS Off
Pcode: GT-I9000HKYDBT
Mode: Prod
*#1234#:
PDA I9000XWJVI
Phone I9000XXJVO
CSC I9000DBTJV2
everything seems to bi OK but it doesn't work. I have already found a topic in your forum about SIM initilializing bug, and somebody suggested to flash the following ROM:
(Rom) I9000 Hybrid / No TouchWiz *9/7/2010* for I9000
but its no longer available. EFS backup doesn't exist, as I deleted it some days before That was a big mistake.
Now I have to stay without my phone over the weekend

Hi,
There was no need for you to flash to stock ROM after installing Juwe's ROM 5.1. I am currently on the same ROM and faced the same problem. All i did was flash the JVQ modem via odin and my device recognized the SIM card. Hope this helps.
Thanks for your reply. as I'm now on stock rom, I've already flashed the stock JVI with phone and csc over ODIN. But this didn't solve the problem.
The problem is solved, After restoring my IMEI I was stupid enough, to put the sim the wrong way into the phone Now its working. Thank you guys.
hi tuteary Vtd, what do you mean by "uproom"?? i have the same problem, could you please give some more information about your solution?
thanks,

[Q] SIM Card not recognized after flashing, but IMEI and Code correct(?)

Dear experts, I need your help please!
After years of flashing and enjoying the know how in this forum, I got into serious trouble for the first time.
I flashed ICS333, and I guess, my IMEI was lost (0049...). But everything worked fine, so I didn't fix it. After a few weeks I got the known FC-bug of the ROM and reflashed it. The phone boot looped, so I had to do some wiping and reflashing. When I managed it to boot again, it didn't recognize my SIM card anymore, just as if it wasn't there.
Here is what I did already:
Checked the SIM card with another phone: Works fine.
Flashed a stock rom on SGS: SIM still not working.
Restored IMEI via Nitrality. Got a "new" one, different to "0049", but: SIM not working.
Erased the nv-Files in the EFS-Folder. Product Code is VD2 again. It was KOR before, and should be correct now as I am in Germany and Vodafone-Customer. But again: No SIM card detected.
Followed the instructions in the "Restore your IMEI"-Tutorials, even though it is restored already. Used Terminal, BusyBox, Ghost Commander. Didn't help...
As you can see I tried EVERYTHING I could find on the net in the last few days, and I am really exhausted and clueless now. Can anyone help me please!?!?
Please erase this thread. During all the IMEI- and country-code-trouble (that really occured, I swear!) I fixed the problem without knowing it. Because I inserted the SIM the wrong way constantly. This is sooo embarrassing. Shame on me for steeling your time! :/
Thanks for the laugh, this is highly amusing!
THANK YOU!!
I mean literally!! I had exactly the same problem as you! Never would've noticed it if it weren't for your story!
although i feel a little stupid right now
Please help
i have the same problem only i cant fix my imei, after flashing the phone it changed to 00499.. it made no nv_data.bin.bak
If the efs folder havent been backed up, what can i do? I tried changing the nv_data file like some tutorials here explain, but no luck(tried couple of times, it defently not compatible with my galaxy s3), i believe these tutorials are for erlier galaxies.
Please help!
Thank you

No Sim Detected LG Optimus 2x :(

Hi
My phone suddenly stopped detecting all sim cards ( I have tried various working sims ).
It is running CM 7.2 and has been running cm 7.2 for a few months with no problems.
Today I took out the sim and put it back in to reboot, all was fine. I went to shower, came back and the sim suddenly stopped being detected.
I have tried to google but it seems most problems are to do with flashing a new rom and having the sim not work, my case is that the rom has been the same for a few months.
I have tried to flash different roms and I still have the same problem. I have a gut feeling it is the hardware that reads the sim that is faulty.
I have read something about a baseband, I dont know what that is but if it helps, when i go to the settings and click on 'about phone'
It says there is a baseband and it is version something. There are no question marks or anything like that.
I appreciate the help and would love some more troubleshooting suggestions.
The worst case scenario is unrooting it, flashing stock rom and send it back to warranty. I actually don't know how to do that so if anyone has a guide lying around please link me on that.
I have similar problem with new boot loader.
Download getril app from play store and see if your baseband is OK. If not, download and flash matching baseband from development thread. You will loose all personal data and your apps after flashing. Then download new ril with getril and reboot. Good luck...
This method was no helpful for me. Maybe you will have better luck.

Thanks for the reply,
When I first opened getril, it said RIL not found, I did not have one. I downloaded one and then it said RIL does not match. I then redid it on another firmware and it now says RIL and Baseband matches. Is this enough? The only weird thing is the baseband has canada and europe in it. I am from Australia. How do i tell which baseband/ril I need?

First you flash BB, then download RIL with GetRil. Read completely through BB sticky topic in development section. All answers are there.

You can flash as much as you want, none of that will help. Had same issue once, flashed almost everything there was through SmartFlash, NVflash and all of that. This is what you need to do:
First, remove the battery from your phone. Write down the IMEI. Now boot up your phone, write *#06# and see if the IMEI that pops up is the same as the one you saw behind the battery. If not, let us know and I'll hand you the solution, but first check if the IMEI matches.

I checked the IMEI and it matches.
I have some extra information if it helps, when I choose a random RIL from getril, the battery might become a ? mark and the sim card not detected error doesnt show anymore, however when I put it back to the original RIL, my battery bar starts showing the 'power left' and also the sim not detecting error shows again.

I get the SIM Toolkit Incompatible Handset error and then whether I press OK or Cancel, shortly after I lose mobile network access. I've been trying all manner of different things, Smart Flashing, NVflashing, changing basebands, Rils, you name it.
I'm currently on the V30B root ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2064793 and the Ril matches the baseband from that ROM, but that hasn't helped either. So I went and check the in phone and behind battery IMEI and they are different! I'd love to hear what your solution to this is!

My problem was no service and IMEI unknown... Never managed to solve it. Reverted to old bootloader and problem solved.

IMEI Solution
If IMEI does NOT match, you will need to do this:
Check if you can get in a menu by typing 1809#*990#. If you can't, you will need to use a GB ROM (I remember I used Homero's GB NVFlash as I was on ICS bootloader and couldn't get access to it on ICS). Follow these steps if you are sure you can get into the menu:
1) Connect your phone by USB.
2) Enter 1809#*990# in dialer.
3) Select Port Setting -> Select CP USB
4) Install a program called Hyperterminal on your PC and open it. In COM settings select same port as in device manager -> LGE Mobile USB Seial Port (should be 115200)
5) Type at%imei and it should respond by saying OK
6) Now type at%imei and it should now display your current IMEI number.
7) Type at%imei=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX where X is your original IMEI number.
8) Reset phone.
You might have to reboot your phone after step 3. But see if it works without.
I have been thinking that this is a hardware issue, I have not changed a single setting/rom/baseband at all, the sim just wasnt detecting when I came back to my phone. The rom and settings were the same for a number of months.
I am now going to give it in to warranty, however it only has 1 month left. I have tried to install the stock firmware but with no luck..
I found a rom to flash for my region, it is a zip file but when I try flash it with Clockworkmod, it says installation aborted....
Shouldnt I be able to flash the roms with CWM? The file is a zip file just like the CM7.2 rom I flashed. Do I need nvflash instead? I found the rom here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1852112 (the download links were removed so I googled the exact same rom)
I was also told that if I just use the LG update tool, it sohuld automatically update the phone to stock firmware AND unroot it, only that the update tool gives me an error. Whats the best approach guys?? I need to get this fixed before my warranty goes.

Your imei should not show in settings, it should show in the back of your battery and when you dial : *#06# into the phone (where you dial numbers for calls).
Cant help you with baseband.
OP here, I am trying to unroot my phone and put stock firmware to get warranty to fix the simcard reader ( i believe it is a hardware issue ).
If I use nvflash and flash any stock firmware I can find on the internet, will that be OK? I have a feeling each region of optimus 2x has slight differences in firmware, eg swedish stock roms and australian stock roms may differ in the default applications etc.
Will it be ok to just install any kind of stock rom for my warranty? Help would be appreciated my warranty is running out in less than a month now.
I also tried to flash stock firmware with CMW, it didnt work. I am about to try NVflash, so I went into greater detail in page 1 but no one replied yet. If you guys know please help. I am more familiar with CMW than NVflash. I have not used NVflash yet.
hahah after 2 sleeples nights i menage to restore my sim to be recognize ,whit this metod,.. NFlash rulles ))

this is also the best metod for unbricking your phone, .
INSTALLATION:
ATTENTION
The flasher with NVFlash clears all memory, including the Internal SD., so make a backup if u can..
Download this file: http://bayfiles.com/file/yKZL/eGZ31A/driver.rar The pack includes the APX driver (folder driver)
http://www.putlocker.com/file/4CEDEB7E0893B6F1
1.- Remove the battery to the phone.
2.- Press and hold Vol- and Vol+ and without releasing the 2 keys connect the USB cable to the PC
3.- Go to the progmaq-default-cm-10-20121105 folder and run flash icon... folow instruction., wait wait wait Enjoy!

I managed to get an old CM7 install back on the p990,but the above is still not working for me :/
After I finish typing in 1809#*990# in dialer, nothing happens. If I press the green phone handset icon to dial that number it comes up with an error message of "Mobile network not available".
Any further advice? Thanks.
Okay, I failed at reading comprehension – it has to be an LG Gingerbread ROM for this code to work, NOT a CM-based one!
Trying one from somewhere-I-cannot-link-to-yet
Success! Once I was back on the original stock LG Gingerbread ROM, I could reset the IMEI and make/receive calls again using this method. Thank you very much!
Now all flashed back onto a nice "working" nightly CM10.1 and a very happy little device.
Many thanks all.
Hi,
Anyone have a working link to "progmaq-default-cm-10-20121105 ". My Optimus 2x has been bricked as well, and can't find any other version of this on Google unfortunately
Appreciate all help.

All the times I had this problem I've flashed stock ROM with Odin and I can confirm that it works. Seems that sometimes is a problem of SecPhone.apk
Thanks guys, but can you point in the right direction (with flashing the stock ROM)? Like, where do I find it and stuff...
(I don't know how I managed to root my phone without breaking it in the first place xD)

I've writed how to reflash stock firmware in this thread, you can follow up to the sixth step, and if you are interested also to root and CoCore kernel go up to tenth step (after this reboot device)
EDIT: You don't need "Re-Partition" option in Odin
No SIM card (but network OK 4 bars)
Hi,
I have a 9070P (NFC) simlocked to Orange France.
I've got the very same "no SIM card" issue after upgrading to JB via Odin (3.07) (tar downloaded from samfirmware).
Network is OK (4 bars), but "no SIM card". The SIM works fine in any other phone I have tested + inserting a SIM from a different operator does not trigger the "enter unlock code" popup at startup.
My IMEI is OK and has always been (*#06#).
Note : from the many posts I've read, it is *not* stored in /efs on this phone but could be stored in CSPSA partition.
Note : I've always flashed the *right* firmwares for I9070P (not I9070).
What I have tried so far :
* restock to GB with this tutorial : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2247604
--> No SIM card
* then flashed Orange's stock firmware with Odin from samfirmware
--> No SIM card
* played a bit lot with "secret code" *#197328640# menus. It happened once that I recovered the SIM card + data connexion then it failed again after next boot. So I'm pretty sure the pb *is* software.
It's a pitty I have backed up my "efs", and "CSPSA" partitions (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2145464) after the pb occured...
I have rooted the phone, dumped and tried to analyse modem/RIL logs, but did not manage to spot the pb...
I'm used to linux, flashing and so on but not that much of Android intricaces, so if anybody is willing to help me finding the solution I'd pay him/her a bear (or two)
Questions : does anybody know how to check CSPSA partitions ? It's content might have been damaged during flashes. As I have repartitioned when downgrading, partition size should be OK, but as I have read somewhere in xda that that partition content might not be replaced when flashing a tar.md5 that contain a cspsa image (which is the case in the ROM flashed to downgrade) because it contains the IMEI encrypted.
-> is there a way to mount and explore it or to extract the content of a cspsa image from a ROM (I've tried to mount it as ext4: failure)?
Thanks in advance !
What version of Jelly Bean you have flashed the first time?
Hi!
It was this one : Germany (T-Mobile) I9070PXXLPJ grabbed from Samfirmare (I doubled checked it was the one for the "P" version)
Any known pb with those JB upgrades?

I don't know if this version has the simlock, maybe your phone doesn't recognize sim card because you have updated with Odin from a simlocked GB to a non-simlocked JB or with simlock from another carrier
Hm, did you try to do factory reset? People had problems with signal if they do not do it after GB>JB.

I restocked to original ROM : still no Sim card + if the pb was simlock, it would ask for unlock code whereas it just say "no SIM card".

Yes, I did factory resets, cache wipes, dalvik cache erasure multiple times (like 20) : no dice.
Does anybody know how to activate and analyse modem and RIL logs (and manage debug level) ? I think it would help find the root cause faster than "trial and error" + decrease the risk of bricking.

Right, as you said maybe the problem is really the CSPSA because simlock infos are stored in this partition, seems that there is no way to unpack or to see the files contained in it, if you try to reflash Jelly Bean using repartition?

- Reflash Jelly Bean with repartion : already done without success + JB ROMs (I've seen until now) do not contain CSPSA partition.
But my problem is not SIM lock, it's "no SIM" at all, as I already said, if it was a Sim lock issue, I would have the "insert unlock code" dialog at logon.
- For reference : I've found the sources for CSPSA Android manager and desktop tools at : download.meego.com/live/home:/imppa/Trunk/src/[/url] (it's from the Meego project)
I think it would enable to read/write from/to CSPSA partition properly (not peeking/poking blindly).
- For now, I'm trying to analyse "adb logcat -b radio", but lots off errors seem to but "normal", I can hardly identify which ones are relevant.
Anybody reading radio logcat fluently ?
Guys, could any of you backup the 3 following partitions of their I9070P and post them somewhere to me so that I can try to restore them on my device to see if it sorts out my problems ?
The full tuto is here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2145464
Thanks in advance !
Bump !
Nobody willing to help me ?
Tried installing CM10.1: still "no SIM"
search xda to find help contain tee folder
i forget links source
but u can after root

Hi Zakaria !
thanks for your answer.
This solution works if you have flashed a "I9070" ROM on a "I9070P". But I never did that, I have always flashed "P" ROMs.
I have checked the MD5sum of the files in my "tee" folder, they are (as expected) the same as the ones into the .zip you are recommending me (I've checked the rights too : everything is OK).
Given what I see in the radio logs (logcat -b radio), the problem appears to be under the RIL layer: modem seems OK but it replies that the SIM is "absent" when queried. It could be a hardware problem to, but as it worked well before, I don't think so.
I would really like to overwrite my CSPSA, modemFS and EFS partitions from a working I9070P to see if it would solve the pb (I've made backups of mine in the current "non working" state).
I'm just expecting someone to dump and send them to me...
Have a nice day.

We do not have much P ROMs, maybe just one. What P ROM you flashed?

I've always flashed stock ROMs from SamMobile. There are dozens of them.
As explained in a my first post in this thread, I have tried to upgrade to JB (German (T-Mobile) I9070PXXLPJ) : this is when appeared the "no SIM" problem.
Then I went back to GB (tutorial posted in xda ref. given in my 1st post) and then applied stock ROM from my Carrier: stil no SIM. (SIM card is OK in any other phone, and tried at least 3 other SIM cards from my carrier, -my phone is still SIM locked to it: no SIM).
Even if I use a SIM card from another carrier, I don't get the "Enter unlock code" popup.
If I remove any of those SIM while phone is on, I don't get the "SIM removed: reboot" popup.
I have even flashed the latest nightly CM10.1 for the I9070P.
I can past radio logcats if anybody want to have a look at it...

[Q] NO REGISTERING ON THE NETWORK NO SERVICE Galaxy s3 mini I8190n

Hello everyone. I bought a samsung galaxy s3 mini version nfc i8190n when lam bought the phone had a problem with GSM and HSDPA network. Do not want to register with any sim card network in any network. The phone has IMEI and modem good. When searching network manually, your phone finds them when I select a network does not register on the network. The phone came with android 4.1.2 baseband version i8190NXXALL6 Number
i8190NXXALL6 CSC: KOR. Before I get to work I saved the foders "efs" and "modemfs". For five days I struggle with it and we did and at the moment I'm stuck and ask for help.
Here are the steps that I did:
1. I changed csc from "kor" in "btu"
2. I rewrote the software with odin. Same i8190NXXALL6 Stock firmware samsung.
3. I installed CWM Recovery and I Flash all versions of this model,modem.
4. I installed custom ROMs, I returned to stock ROMs
5. I installed the stock recovery with odin and he appeared in DOWNLOAD MODE "custom binary download"=yes 2 times;"System Status"=custom;"current binary"=custom. I used the TriangleAWay and I brought "custom binary download=No. I8190NXXALL6 I reinstalled the stock rom via odin with repartition then full erease on the phone Cahe,Data,etc.and returned to" Custom Binay "= No Current Binay = Official Samsung, System status = Officia.Updates software and firmware from samsung works after many writings kind CWM unofficial ROMs, etc.
6. After each writing ROMs I rooted the phone and replaced the file "modemfs" nv.dat file. I downloaded from the XDA forum several files of other users Nv.dat i8190N this model, we have replaced each other and nothing.
7. I deleted all files in EFS folder and modemfs after deletion had baseband XXXXX. IMEI number has remained untouched.
8. I wrote modem manually via CWM recovery and nothing same problem.
I did have searched all the forum and other forums, I searched on google and do not know what to do. My phone is now rooted in the stock rom, stock kernel, stock recovery. These are details which are:

Waiting any kind of suggestion and let's solve this problem there are many people who have the same problem ......
You need this modem files
You need a file named NV.DAT, it's missing from your /modemfs/PERM/PROT

Yes i know but why would you purposely modify the modems and other stuffs, you should have brought it to your network provider service center or samsung and ask them about it, it could just be an SIM card problem
thanks for reply

No. Is not sim problem issues becouse i test with a nother sim card`s of diferent carriers. Wen i put a nother sim card in apn setings are the setings for the carrier sim wat ai put,wen i cheange the sim with a nother carrier in the apn setings are the setings of the carrier sim card wat i m put. So for exemple i have 3 sim card`s of diferent carriers and all the sim`s card have pin security cod and the phone ask me for pin, after insert the pin code with all sim card`s don`t register on the netowork but the apn setings of the carrier automatic are there on the setings,so the phone see the sim card for all carriers, in setings wen a search manualy for the netorks the phone see the netowork wen i select the netowork manualy not register on the network,if i select automatic sey "registering on netowrk" but is not becouse if i want to call i can`t "not registering on network" sorry for my english ((

hmm.. as the last solution - search "gsmhosting efs backup request" on google ( ai not able to paste external links here). You will find the backup efs folder from a working sgs3 mini i8190 phone. Flash it to your phone (first keep a backup of yopur own efs before doing this ... just in case)
all the best !

My phone is bricked at this moment. Partition on the phone are mess up. One guy from the Mobile Phones Center brick the phone and my phone is in this stage righ now :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2657862 . Wen i have news and solution i post heare. Good day All.
I got the same problem with my phone, it just stopped registering on networks, tried any sim that was available in my country and nothing worked! If you find any solution please update!
Any updates???
Searched and searched... Had a good rooted stock rom, then tried something new a few days ago. I seem to have messed up the modem/bandband. Some issues as the original post. Re-flashed different roms, stock, rooted, unrooted, custom. Tried various different baseband updates. Everything works except being unable to register to the network. IMEI has not changed or been overwritten.
Any help would be gladly accepted.
i8190n
I have the exact same problem. I'm on Orange (EE). Yesterday morning my phone was registered on the network fine, I was in a poor signal area but still on 3G. Then I roamed across the south west of Britain and noticed my phone has no signal. It just wont register on any network, even EE. If I select automatic, it says it registers but it gets no signal and when I try to make a call. It says not registered on network!
The phone is totally stock. My sim works in another phone. I've done a factory reset but the problem still exists.
Was thinking about flashing the ROM but if others have been there too with no fix then I won't waste my time. I keep thinking EE have pushed something to my phone to block access as I'm out of contract by three months and they want me to upgrade!!
