i think i broke my phone :( help needed

hi all
i thought i would attempt to flash my samsung s with the new beta froyo update.
i followed this guys tutorial.
( cant link to it sorry its the noobs guide with detailed instructions through kies and odin)
i used the odin approach
i managed to root the phone.
on reboot it asked for an unlock code (o2 uk) so i went on to try and follow the steps about unlocking it. which neither worked all the way through the steps.
on reboot it appears to have signal and in the about section it says i am onnected to the o2 network but when i try to make a call is says "data network not available with an ok button, which when pressed will return you to the ome screen.
any help would be greatly appreciated thanks

Almost the same problem,
installed 2.2 update successfully, the phone worked for like 3-4 days very well and after that today i discovered "Emergency calls only"
so the question now is did i bought phone which later was reported stolen? or somehow i broke it?
Anyone have any idea?

hmmm, I have the same problem! In the status menu, the number is shown, but the network, says "unknown"

Hi! I have this exact same problem except I was unlocking my phone using this tutorial:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=906255
But I didn't back up my Efs folder, now my phone is unlocked but when I put a sim card in it I have very little network and when I try to make a call I get " NO DATA NETWORK AVAILABLE".
I've tried everything but I don't know what to do!
I was thinking of two ways to fix it:
1. Reinstall froyo (not quite sure how using the samsung software as my laptop oesn't recognised the phone as a pone)
2. Downgrade to, get unlock code using market app and then upgrade to froyo again.
I know I messed up but now I really need to fix this.
Can someone PLEASE PLEASE help me out.

might need to change the modem in odin i think. just heard about it

did u try restarting the phone... just a wild guess...

I had the same issue before and was puzzled. Its actually a very simple solution:
1. Re-lock your phone, search through xda there is a code you have to enter
2. Unlock your phone
All done! Surprisingly easy

Try the Odin method in block 2 back to Eclair if ok then upgrade to Froyo .
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=818556
However your non connection might be due to not flashing a firmware with your network settings in which case manual settings of APN .
If your IMEI has changed due to flashing and you did not back up your EFS folder then little hope but do a google / search of XDA as some have reported success .

Emergency calls only
I had a custom rom that was giving that to me too. I think it means that you can access a network different from your sim (because usually emerg calls can be made from any phone I think?).
I'd try and find a rom that is optimized for your carrier or at least a modem file from a stock rom that is for your carrier. You may also need to reselect the APN settings (or enter them for your carrier). Its under settings/wireless and network/Mobile networks/access point names (use the menu button to add an APN).
you could also try re downloading and flashing the rom to make sure that is the issue. Mine said it installed OK but never booted up, redownloaded and reflashed and then it was fine but the install screens looked identical.

Hi! Thank you so much for everyone's replies!
My IMEI isn't changed and someone helped me check my efs files and they are all ok. I'm going to try and reflash froyo through the samsung software to see if the network lock comes back and then try to unlock again. For this I'm going to unroot the phone and follow samsungs' instructions.
I'm afraid to relock the phone as there are reports that say it completely messes everything up!
But I'll keep you guys posted! Wish me luck!!!!
PS. Any other suggestions are more than welcome!

So, a quick update on my situation.
I uninstalled busybox and unrooted my phone using the oneclick root tool.
Did a factory format and, surprise surprise, my phone now works perfectly!
Apart from the fact that it doesn't connect to kies, but that's a whole another issue!
Tank you so much to all of you who answered my cry for help!

[Q] Data network not available

Not sure where to post this as I have the Galaxy S i9003 not the original Galaxy S.
My phone is 2 days old. I am new to android platform. Rooted using superoneclick and applied lagfix using a market app.
Yesterday I removed my SIM card to use it in another phone but when I put it back in i9003, it did not detect the SIM Card. I tried hard reset - no use.
*#06# shows no IMEI no. Its blank.
*#1234# gives:
PDA : I9003DDKB2
Phone: Unknown
CSC: I9003ODDKA6
Settings > wireless and network > mobile network shows: Insert SIM card
But the SIM card works well in other phones. Please help
PS: There is no stock froyo firmware for India (DD) available on net I guess.

Its nothing realated with rooting, I jus rooted mine yesterday and having no problems. Is any other sim working on your mobile or vice versa?

The SIM works in other phones and no other SIM works in the phone.

Then may be you should try factory resetting your mobile and try again. If that doesnt helps(most probably it would), then you have to take it to the nearest service center

Doesn't help. I have done that thrice. I guess taking it to service center is the only choice I got as stock rom for India is not available to public yet.

Why dont you try another sim, may be from a friend just for checking... Or it could be SIM card slot related issue. There is no way to lose IMEI, unless you have acess to the efs folder

I have tried that. I don't think its related to SIM slot as phone doesn't have any IMEI no. Yes the phone was rooted but I had not installed root explorer.. so i had no access to the root folder (hence efs). Only app which needed superuser access was some screenshot app which takes a screenshot when u shake the phone (I don't remember the name).

Remove lagfix and root apps and return it to the store or service centre is what i would do .

Hello I am from indonesia, and my I9003 also not detect the simcard. I haven't root my phone yet. Also I ve already tried update firmware but still not detect the simcard. Dont know why. Currently in samsung service center and they said probably sim card socket problems

Hey. Let us know any update about this.
I took it to samsung service center. Service engineer there was saying I must have tried updating my phone even after my denial. He said phone files are deleted. They will let me know tomorrow. They might have to change the motherboard of the phone.
Is that the only solution when phone files get deleted?

Replacing a motherboard seems a bit extreme to me, but when your BIOS gets corrupted on a PC they often just swap out the BIOS chip, so maybe it is equivalent.
Either way, what do you care as long as they fix it?

True.
Update: They changed whole motherboard of the phone and now I have 12 GB phone memory instead of original 4 GB. Nice

Wow that's nice!
Since your phone was only 2 days old when this problem occured, you were entitled to a new phone... Your phone would be classified as DOA and you would get a certificate which entitles you to a replacement. Hey but you got nothing to complain about as you got 12gb! Seems like you got the 16gb version.
Well a similar thing happened to me, I gave the service centre my phone to reflash it and they screwed up somehow and my IMEI was 0! So i'm getting a replacement for it tomorrow.
Hope I get the 16gb new phone too!

[Q] Please Help - Galaxy Note suddenly show "Emergency Calls Only"

Quick background:
- I have an International version, sourced from Latin America
- I have rooted the phone but NOT custom ROM
- I have Straight Talk service
The phone was just working fine for almost 1 month, can receive call, SMS, etc. Just today, I shutdown the phone and took out the microSD card and SIM.
I copied some files to the microSD card using a reader and left the phone with the SIM and battery out for about 30 minutes.
I put the microSD, SIM and battery and rebooted the phone. Suddenly, I got Emergency Calls only!
I have tried to "fix" it but to no avail:
1). Looking at the 3 PIN in the SIM slot, they are all INTACT, nothing bend or broken or lopse
2). The SIM card works - tested it in another 2 different phone and can make calls, etc.
3). I did CWM recovery to a backup from 1 day ago (when the phone still works)
Anyone have this experiences or my phone just DEAD?

weird...
try do the hard reset (try not to restore anything yet), if still doesn't change anything... flash new radio (LC1)

I disassembled my Note using the instructions from here to check if any of the 6 (SIX) SIM Card connector is bent and it is NOT.
I am putting it back together now and will do factory reset (this is what you meant by "hard reset", right?). I will post back with updates/
PS: this is INDEED weird. The phone works OK, Wifi works, sound works, screen works, microSD card is readable, everything works EXCEPT the GSM connection! And I didn't even mess aroud with the custom ROM/kernel/radio!

did u test other sim card on that phone yet?

I don't have an extra SIM card. What I did was take out the Straight Talk (ST) SIM card from my Note and put it in another unlocked GSM phone (Nokia N73). The Nokia N73 works with the ST SIM.
I just did a "Factory Reset" and still the same thing.
Before I try the radio flash, what will this "software" do to the Note modem? I am just curious how it will fix it.
BTW, my Baseband vesion is "BKK1", and I don't see the radio for this baseband in the link you provided. Which one should I use?
PDA: N7000UBKK2
PHONE: N7000UBKK1
CSC: N7000UWHKK2

flashing the radio doesn't effect your rom... try them.
try to borrow your neighbor sim card first before flash new radio.

Which radio files I should use? The link you provided show multiple radios, but I don't see one for my phone:

Try to clean the Sim slot.

Yes, I tried cleaning the SIM slot. I have been very careful with my Note since day 1.
Someone mentioned that they have the same problem and was able to fix it by flashing STOCK ROM back.
I searched in the development section and could not find ROM for my phone (N7000UBKK1). Do you have any idea where I can get this from?

Well, looks like my phone is toast. I have tried the following:
1). Wipe data, cache, Dalvik and restore to CWR backup --> NO GO
2). Do a "factory reset" --> NO GO
3). Install stock firmware using Odin --> NO GO
NOTE: had to search for stock firmware on the Internet since it is NOT available in XDA
The only thing I haven't tried is flashing the modem firmware, but this is NOT available anywhere in XDA either.
The ST SIM card works because I tried this on two other GSM phone. Only the Note show "Emergency Call Only" message.
So now I have a $600 media player that I can't event sell. I guess serves me right for buying an International version with ZERO warranty and just happen that there is NO modem firmware for my phone.

Anyhow,
I found out the solution to this problem by accident, and there doesn`t appear to be a solution anywhere else on the internet. Turn off your phone and restart it. As soon as you are able to do so, open up setting, or any other app. When your phone goes into cool down mode, hold down the home button. A screen will come back asking you to select an app. Select whatever you opened prior to cool down mode (If you need to get into settings press the search button and search for settings after your out of CDM). You then need to do two things. Go to Running services (Settings>Applications>Running services), find detect battery service, touch it and stop it. To the best of my knowledge, it doesn`t do anything to your phone, other than activate cool down mode. Then go to manage applications (Settings>Applications>Manage applications) press your menu button and select filter> all applications. Find Battery protect, click on it, and select force stop. This allows your phone to get reception. You will have to do this every time your phone starts up, but it isn`t too much of a hassel for a truely excelent phone. The Cool down mode problem is definitly a software fault.

HELP!!
I have also had this same problem. My phone is STOCK I have not touched it. got the phone on last Monday working fine until the battery level ran right down yesterday, then I got message to "insert sim card!", ever since re-starting the phone I no longer can make calls!. I had no intension of rooting or messing with this phone and decided to wait until official ICS, but now what do I do?, is this a common problem?.
Tried previous instruction on this post, but unable to find any battery service running on the device.
Please help!!

I now also have this issue after updating to the latest firmware via Kies.
UPDATE: I got mine checked and it looks like the replacement unit I got had its SIM card broken. Dodgy eBay seller.
Just fyi, never insert MicroSim card adaptor in Galaxy Note. Mine works now after spending $100. Jeez

FYI, I tried all of the suggested solutions in this thread and I still have problem. So I returned the Note and got the AT&T version... At least now I got US Warranty

Same thing just happened to my phone. Rogers Galaxy note II.
Tried bunch of different SIM cards, none work.
Got the SIM reader app, phone reads SIM just fine. Data connection also works, but refuses to make voice calls "emergency only".
So pissed, wanna throw this phone against the wall.

Did anyone find a solid solution? Mine did this today, Stock never been rooted or anything! Any ideas?

weird problem + need some help

I don't know if any one of you have encountered this before but here's what happened
I installed a new rom and my network lock came back
so I installed galaxys_unlock + busy box to unlock my phone again.
the phone gets unlocked and signal does seemingly work.
now here's the problem.
my sim card + plan can go on internet. but for some reason when I try to go on the internet it doesn't work.
I clicked on mobile network on my phone and what shows up was this message of "insert SIM card to access network service"
which really confuses me because I can actually make phone calls.
If anyone has any solutions please let me know. I'll be more than happy to try it.
Is it even normal for my n7000 to lag so much and have so many problems? I feel like I spend more time trying to fix it than actually enjoying it.

1 Try restock to see if problem from rom side or hardware
2 Reinstall new rom, make sure file downloaded match md5 (might be corrupt dl) and follow instructions
3 Update latest proven stable kernel for that rom
4 If else fail try diff rom or restock
Good luck

What does restocking mean???

Restock = basically back to original official stock firmware of the rom (non moded ics/jb based).
Also good idea to state your rom that you use, carrier etc, hopefully other user of that same rom can guide you?

I think you need to put the settings for internet access back in

Hotspot

So I was trying to root my Verizon S8 in an attempt to get the mobile hotspot working since I am grandfathered in on the unlimited data plan. So while rooting it I soft bricked it. I then had to wipe the phone, cache and get into download mode. I went to sanmobile.com to get a working software version so I could use the phone. After I uploaded the sanmobile software to my phone, I tried to use the mobile hotspot. And it worked. This version basically unlocked the phone, took away the Verizon bloatware and their b.s.. very happy I tried to root my phone and found this, now I have total control of MY phone.

So what version did you put on your phone? link to the version on sanmobile and proof would be great..

I went to sammobile dot com/firmwares/galaxy-s8/SM-G950U/ and down loaded the firmware and used ODIN to flash it. I'm not sure how to upload the pics but under the about phone it is showing that is a model SM_G950U1,
Running Android 7.0,
Baseband version [email protected],
Build number of NRD90M.G950U1UES2AQL1,

I had originally tried to use the Rootjunky root process from his youtube video but half way through it soft bricked the phone (I guess because it was for T-Mobile). I then had to figure out a way to undo the soft brick it and I was able to get into download mode and I then found Sammobile and downloaded the Verzion software. Once the phone booted up there was NO Verizon blotware. The only problem that I found is that I have to use a third party Visual Voice Mail since Verizon will not load onto the phone or you can use the old school *86 method. If you want screen shots Direct message me with an email and I can send verification pics. Hope this helps.

OK. Thank you. i am downloading the g955u and the g955u1. I am pretty sure Verizon did not sell the U1 version so i don't know if it will work on mine to be to root and get the hotspot working.

Does this also open up the LTE bands that are normally locked down by Verizon for the phone to work better on AT&T and T Mobile? Namely 12, 17, and 30?
