[Q] No calling, no texting, everything else works

Hi everyone!
I bought recently a new galaxy s advanced and for some weird reason i can't make calls, can't text and can't receive anything. But i can unlock my sim without any problem and i can use mobile internet.
I had first the original gingerbread rom (i9070XXLK2), rupgraded it to 4.1.2 jelly bean(i9070XXLQE), rooted it, upgraded the kernel to this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2140597 and after that tried a cyanogen rom(this one => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2497660 ), went after the cyanogen back to the 4.1.2 but nothing works.
atm it is running original 4.1.2 rooted and cwm.
I also tried galaxSim but it doesn't support the galaxy s advanced, also the *#simlock# thing does not work. I am not sure there is a simlock on the phone because mobile internet works.
If you need more info just ask! Not really sure what information you need to know.
I have no idea what to do now, i hope some1 can help me.

You must do Factory reset when you change ROM. Do it now.
Do you have I9070 or I9070P? On CM you do not have network unless you change tee folder if your phone is I9070P.

I have factory resetted it 3 or 4 times (after every rom flash).
It's an I9070, not the P one.
If some1 tries to call me they hear an automated message tape thing that says my number is blocked and i need to call my provider.
I did call my provider and there is nothing blocking my number or the phone.
When i put my sim in another phone everything works fine so the issue must be in the phone itself.
Thanks for trying to help :highfive:

Try to put some other SIM in phone. See what happens then. And did you wipe dalvik cache too? Try that.

I tried 3 different SIM's but all from the same provider, i am going to visit a friend tomorrow to lend his SIM (he has another provider). I wiped dalvik cache every time i factory resetted it (after every rom flash)
Is it possible there is a piece of hardware in the phone blocking the calls and the messages?
Found out something new, if i do phone (the app) => call settings => additional settings, i get a message saying "network or sim card error".
I am searching for an hour now for a fix but i can't find anything. I will keep searching for another couple of hours, i really want to fix this.

Are you sure it is not locked to some provider?

I don't know, as far i can see there is no sign of a provider/region lock. During boot no logo from a provider, sim can be unlocked when it asks for my PIN.
I tried to figure out if there is a simlock with *#SIMLOCK# but the code does not work. Any idea how i can see if there is a sim-lock?

I am not sure where you can look for that. And you bought from store or? You can go there and ask them maybe what is the problem. You have warranty?

I bought it from an auction, a phone shop went bust and they sold thousands of phones. They had over 20 shops and they were not promoting a provider.
it was brand new in a sealed box and as far as i know i don't have warranty.
Is there a place to check if there is still a warranty on the phone?
EDIT: just checked and i have still warranry (produced at oktober 2012) but the problem i have now is, i flashed it a couple of times, isn't my warranty ruined now?

I am not sure how is it in your country about that. You can go to some service center to see if the phone is locked to some carrier.

I just tried to check the binary counter, but as far as i can see it didn't move during the flashes and looks original
When i go in download mode i get this:
Odin mode
Product name: GT-I9070
Custom binary download: no
current binary: samsung official
I think this means it got still warranty?
If it is, i'm going to put back jelly bean on it and try to send it back to samsung, is there a chance they will fix it and won't find out i messed with it?

Yes, just go back to JB and you are good to go. And you can uninstall app that need root if you have any.

Sad news, the phone is back from RMA and there is a simlock on it, but the problem is i can't find a method to remove it 4 free (don't want to pay even more for the damn thing). I am going to a shop from the original carrier over a couple of days(i know which carrier simlocked the crap out of it and they have shops not really far from here) but i am not sure they unlock it for free, and tbh the people that work there probably have no clue how to do it, so i don't have a lot of hope for that so i want to try it first myself if that's possible, but i tried already a couple of things and none of them works. Anyone an idea how i can remove it?

I did not see anyone that unlocked sgsa here on the forum… And I did not see any guide about it for our device.

I was afraid of that, thanks to confirm. Went to the carrier which locked the phone and they said it is illegal to unlock it, which isn't true of course (checked it everywhere and it is legal) I will find a way to fix it with the carrier, thanks for the help.

[xt1068] Moto G 2014 bricked more than once, which stock firmware to use?

Hello all, a while ago my Moto G runnning CM 12.1 suddenly crashed, got stuck in bootloop and upon factory reset it got bricked with access just to the bootloader. I brought it to a friend who was able to install stock firmware and then CM 13, the phone worked fine for a few days just to have the same issue all over again.
I did as he told me, and basically went through the process of flashing stock firmware as per this post., but it fails when flashing motoboot. My friend said he "bombed" the device with all the (failed) commands anyway until the phone was completely dead for a few hours, then recharged it and was finally able to flash the firmware. I tried doing the same but I never got past the motoboot bit as mentioned above.
I used
RETAILDSDSALL_XT1068_5.0.2_LXB22.46-28_cid7_CFC.xml

firmware but I now I'm wondering whether it is the wrong file. The info on the phone box's label says
MOTOROLA,XT1068,RETAIL,EURO, BLK 8GB

(I am indeed in Europe).
If it can help, other writings and figures are:

I've scoured many posts but haven't really found any specific answers as to how to identify the correct firmware out of those up for download, I can provide other info if needed. The phone has been revived before so I guess it is doable again, thanks for your help and have a good year everyone! :highfive:

Wifi and cellular not working after root moto x

Hello,
I have myself a problem. Yesterday I rooted my phone (moto x 2nd gen. 2014) using King root (boot loader was already unlocked.) Everything was running fine until my phone died. After I powered it on, I realized my wifi was shut off. I tried to turn it back on but it read turning wifi on continually. It also says that there is no sim card. I have unrooted the device (using king root), I have hard reset the device, yet, the problem still remains. Has my phone turned into an expensive paperweight? Or is there any way to fix this... Thank you and I greatly appreciate anything leading to a resolution.

Could you check your IMEI number in the settings-about phone section?

As I feared, your IMEI (international mobile equipment identity) number has been overwritten or something like that.
You must flash the default factory firmware of your device. It happened with my device long time ago. I flashed a corrupted firmware and the devices' radio was modified.
Just flash the default firmware ( in my case it was XT1092 Kitkat) and the radio will work again. Good luck, google will help you.
Otherwise just send it to Moto Care center, they will take care of it. They might charge you though if it is out of warranty.[emoji28] [emoji5]

Yes. But I experienced tech guys before who were new to a certain problem. They were not able to fix it then.

Back in 2011 when I was a kid, it took 2 weeks to "repair" my bricked tab. The tab travelled over 400 kilometres!

I've not experienced this.
Are you rooted / bootloader unlocked?
Do you have any idea what caused it?
Were you able to recover?
If so, what did you have to do?

Did you do anything to the bootloader by flashing any files? Did you unlock the bootloader? If the answer is yes then you might have an issue with flashed files.
If no and you have not touched the device then you might have a rare error. If you have a carrier phone with Verizon you might want to try their "repair assistant" which is the same as what is mentioned on the phone screen. It seems to have a repair function. You will have to connect the phone via USB to your computer. Download the assistant from here. https://www.verizonwireless.com/support/knowledge-base-209211/
If you don't have a Verizon moto x4 or you have another carrier then either still give the software a shot or take it to a Motorola service centre.
Can pretty much confirm the same with an old moto z force post on the Lenovo forums. If you have Verizon downloading the software will solve the problem.

I know that I was trying to flash to stock and that was the result, rsd can see the device but when I flash it it says failed to switch to fastboot

Yea bootloader has been unlocked for weeks and started acting up and I was trying to clear it and start over and no I can't get it to flash spar_chunks

Any ideas

Notice you mentioned RSD failing to switch to fastboot... I assume you tried reflashing the GPT/bootloader directly from fastboot?
If you hit volume up/down from the screen you posted, does it go through the other fastboot screens?

No i get the quausb or whatever that is in my comp for deviecs now...and no screen mow and yes the parition was compermised by error on my part
