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?
I am deployed to Afghanistan right now. I ordered a brand new XT862, rooted it, and installed safestrap 2.10 and cm-9-20120815-UNOFFICIAL-solana.zip. That worked beautifully.
Unfortunately I am having problems getting the radio to work. I would set an APN but then sometimes it would just not appear in the list. I would set it again and again, then sometimes all of the APNs would appear in my list until the radio failed. After flashing, formatting, and reflashing several times and having the default Verizion access points finally pop up out of nowhere in my APN list, I realized I never "unlocked" the phone. I am using a Roshan SIM.
The weird part is the radio would work for a period of time. First for several hours, then it would start failing more and more frequently.
I found the XT862-5.7.906-SAFE and flashed it, hoping it would ask me for an unlock code upon booting, but no dice. It just went into "Global" mode. I am testing right now to see if the radio stays stable.
So, I am wondering if these instructions:
Guide - Unlock XT862 for T-mobile/ATT
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1406812
will get me to the unlock code screen, and once unlocked, will my radio problem disappear when I reflash CM9? My Internet connection is painfully slow here in Afghanistan so I only want to download what I know will work.
I do have a second XT862 that I had unlocked, then rooted and flashed CM9 to and it is working very well on Roshan out here.
Thanks for your help!
While running the XT862-5.7.906-SAFE, the radio cut out and I got a BP paniced message. I couldn't remember all of it before it crashed completely, but it asked to connect the USB for debugging. While the screen was flickering, a window popped up asking if I wanted to switch to GSM.
The radio doesn't seem to be stable even with this firmware.
Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.
The radio cut out again, so I tried switching it from global to CDMA and then to GSM to see if I could get it to reset.
It told me there were no GSM networks available, and then asked to switch to Global.
I hit ok, then it told me that the SIM was invalid...
I'm a noob to this phone stuff, but this just seems crazy.
It seems it's definately the phone, because I swapped the SIMs in my two phones and the problems persist with the new one. My functioning phone continues to work fine on the chip designated for the problem phone.

No, I haven't yet because I didn't know if that was going to solve my problem or not. Downloading is a challenge for me right now, too.
I don't know if not unlocking the phone before flashing CM9 caused the problem or if it's something else entirely that I am missing. I will want to have the phone usable in the states again. Will flashing the 883 radio give me any difficulties there?
I've went back though the steps that I did on my other, working phone and [edit] not unlocking is [/edit] pretty much the only difference.
I'm probably going to try to download the 883 radio stuff tonight when I get home from work and give it a try.

Unlocking the phone MUST be done on stock firmware. The XT883 radio is only required for using US GSM networks, such as AT&T and T-Mobile. The stock XT862 radio (after unlock) supports foreign SIM cards (and of course Verizon's Vodafone SIM).
As I recall, CM9/10 normally has issues with the GSM radio, if you need your phone, I suggest flashing a ROM based on a stock GB system, such as Maverick (4.0 version, 4.5 has a battery drain issue with an overclock script) which is based on 906. I tend to keep the phone on GSM/UMTS mode, as "Global" also turns on the CDMA radio, which utilizes more battery. The APN only matters for Data/MMS without the proper APN, you should still get talk/text/signal (no EDGE or 3G icons, which indicate data connection).

I didn't update the radio on my working phone to 883. It has been doing just fine on Roshan Afghanistan and AIS in Thailand. In the states I use Verizon, so I don't think GSM is a biggie.
So, I have to get back to stock and unlock, then go through the hack process again. I figured I probably did. So before I try to download this file, do you think the 1-click SBF here:
[xt862] .906 1-click-sbf.exe + tools [10-8-2012]
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1686911
will do the job? If not, do you know what will? I'm still running XT862-5.7.906-SAFE. I do have Blur_Version.5.6.890.XT862.Verizon.en.US.zip but I don't know how to install it. I'm still learning all of this stuff. Would RSDLite do it?
I wasn't very specific when I talked about the radio, sorry. More or less the voice connection would stop along with the data. It was just weird that sometimes the APNs would show up in the list and sometimes they wouldn't. When they did, it showed multiple from when I tried entering them several times. I don't know why it would write the changes but not read the list.
When about five Verizon APNs showed up and none of my Afghan APNs showed up, I realized I must have needed to unlock the phone. When I hacked it I just assumed it wouldn't have to be unlocked. I figured I WAS unlocking it. LOL!
Thanks everyone for your help.

If you were on the 906 OTA, the one click EXE would work, no programs required. Connect phone in bootloader > run the exe > The phone will flash. In Global mode, when you check the APNs, only the Verizon ones will show, you MUST be in GSM/UMTS mode for your own APNs to show up. Also, if it's occasionally in and out, I wonder if the connection between the SIM and phone are bad, like a shake or movement will break the contact. (Which when a SIM is not present, only the Verizon APNs will show as well and would prompt for global mode)
Try taking the SIM out, cleaning the contacts, and placing it back in. If the sim seems loose, try slipping a single thin piece of paper behind it to make sure it's getting full contact. Otherwise, it might be a hardware fault.

I'm currently running the SAFE version found here:
XT862 5.7.906 Update FXZ DST
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1554916
It doesn't say that it's an OTA. I'm still running safestrap 2.10 with it. That's why I was curious if that might work. I also have that full BLUR download already. I tried installing it using safestrap, but that didn't work. I'm assuming because it's not supposed to. If I can get that installed and it works I'd be happy. I have to remote into my server at home, download there, and then FTP over here at like 6k/sec. Am I correct in assuming I'd install that full BLUR image with RSDLite?
I haven't had any issues with the SIM from the bad phone in my good phone, and everything feels tight when I put the SIM in. I've tried cleaning the contacts a bit. I haven't tried putting something in there to hold it tighter yet, though.

The Droid 3 does not require RSDLite, as it has fastboot. Which is able to flash certain parts alone instead of the whole system (or the whole thing together) it's easier than RSDLite and can make modifications without losing everything. That's how the XT883 radio is flashed without modifying the system.
The one click method would fully flash it as if you used an SBF in RSDLite. If you have safestrap enabled on safe; make a full backup with recovery, then disable safe-mode. You'll then reboot into your stock system, unlock there, then enable the safe boot again, restore your backup.
SIM unlocking is for good, no amount of flashing, updating, etc will revert it. If the phone DOES get service with the sim, then it's already unlocked.. if it's occasionally cutting out, that's a different issue.

Holy shinto! I didn't know it saved that! I figured it was gone!
So I disabled safestrap, then it kept telling me com.android.phone had stopped. I'd force close and it would say it again. I went back into safestrap, did a factory wipe, rebooted and now it is connected in "Global" mode again on the stock 5.6.890.XT862.Verizon.en.US. It was looking good for a while, until the phone just rebooted itself.
I put my other SIM in the phone, booted back up and it worked for a while until the signal dropped and the phone gave me an invalid SIM error again. So, it's given me an invalid SIM on two different SIMs now in stock and flashed ROMs.
The SIM is in there tight. I couldn't get a piece of paper in there. I cleaned the contacts again, but they don't look dirty at all.
I put the original SIM back in there, it booted up, never got signal, and rebooted itself again. It doesn't have signal now, and I assume it's just about to reboot itself again.
You think I got a bum phone? I didn't test it at all before I started hacking it.
Also, if I do the *#*#4636#*#* while it has no signal it tells me my IMEI number is unknown, if that helps. If press the turn off radio button, it does nothing.
[edit]It also tells me pretty much everything (MEID, IMEI SV, SIM ID, ect...) is unknown if I go into About Phone>Status[/edit]

That happens if either; Airplane mode is on, or you have an incorrect build.prop, have you modified it in any way? Also have you tried making a backup and turning safe boot off?
Also; If the zips are still on your SDCard, try reflashing your rom to make sure you have the correct build.prop.

I have safestrap turned off and it appears I am running on stock? It says I am running 5.7.890 and not 5.7.906. There is a Superuser icon in the all apps, but I think that is from where I rooted it.
I rebooted and all the numbers came back... for now.
I don't have airplane mode on. I tried to turn it on after reading your post. It caused the phone to reboot. Once rebooted, it came back up in airplane mode. I turned it off and it is connected again, for now.
I haven't messed with the build.prop that I know of. I only rooted, installed CM9 several times, formatted everything several times in-between those installs, and most recently flashed that XT862-5.7.906-SAFE.zip.
And before I even finished this post it rebooted itself on me again...

Alright, did you put the sim in and get the unlock screen to put in the unlock code? 890 is alright to be on, that's what my stock system is. I would suggest staying away from CM9/CM10 as they are unstable when using GSM networks. Either stay stock or flash a ROM based on Blur (I suggest MavRom 4.0).

It never asked me for an unlock. It just immediately put the phone in world mode.
I literally did this with the phone.
1. open factory sealed box
2. root the phone
3. install safestrap
4. format all partitions
5. install CM9
6. install SIM
7. repeat 4 and 5 serveral times
8. install 5.7.906 hoping to get an unlock screen in order to possibly fix radio issue
9. start this thread.
Now, I did steps 4 and 5 over and over again over about 2 weeks off and on while I tried to figure out what was going wrong. Like I said, I am running CM9 very successfully here since August on a different XT862 that I did unlock before rooting. I installed a KANG build, not a KEXEC.
The amount of times your device seems to be rebooting makes me think there is something wrong with it.

Hm... while in unsafe (stock) the unlock screen should have come up. It will not on other roms, as for global mode, that is a default setting, without unlock, will only work with the verizon vodafone sim that came with the phone. Reboots can be either hardware, rom, or app problem. You can try a factory wipe and see if that helps the reboots. Trying to find solutions without you having to download more.

I was kind of worried that was the case. I just ordered a refurb unit just in case.
Hello guys/girls,
I just got my Nexus 6 yesterday from Amazon and bought a new nano sim instead of my micro.
I immediately did a bootlocker unlock, root and twrp install and flashed chroma rom.
Everything went smooth the only problem is my data does not work.
I tried Catalyzm rom, I tried factory image from 5.11 up to 6.0.x, same issue!
I tried to flash different basebands, also APN reset/settings.
It says 'T mobile on top and it seems to be recognized.
Model is Xt1103 and currently on factory.
I'm out of ideas, anyone can help before I shoot this phone back to Amazon?

Seems to me you have a data connection, but no access to internet. Big change it has to do with settings. Does your wifi-internet work?
or ..... Your new sim card ! Does your provider something that blocks internet?
Yes, Wifi works like everything else. I get the message 'Sign into the T-mobile', once i click on it, it takes me to u.web2go.com with message: 'Your data plan does not work on this device' lol. My data has worked with any other phone.. Messing with APN has brought me to LTE but that !!!!! mark is still there.

My data has worked with any other phone.. Messing with APN has brought me to LTE but that !!!!! mark is still there.

Sounds like a plan issue. Call T-Mobile and see what they have to say about it.
APNs would only help you to get a connection. If their servers aren't allowing you to access the internet (what it sounds like) you won't be able to do anything from your end to bypass that.
Just an update. I went to T-Mobile they switch my SIM and it worked. bleh. Happy I can keep this phone /closed
just and update went to T-mobile got a sim switch and it worked. /closed
I just updated to the new BQL1 firmware and now my sim card is saying it is not registered on the network. I replaced the sim card and it was working until my battery died. I charged phone and turned it on and now sim card not registered on network again. I have reset network settings and toggled everything I know how to try to get it to work but nothing helps. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Sim was working fine on bqk5 firmware. Thanks.

I upgraded from G950USQU1AQG4 to G950USQS2BQL1 today and had the same issue. Even factory reset didn't work. Bootloader changed from 1 to 2 so going back wasn't an option for me. Registering a new sim card was the only option for me. I only tried a new sim card because the vzw site gave me this message while trying to re-activate the one i had been using:
HTML_COTENT_NOT_FOUND_FOR_CONTENT_KEY: devicechange_sim_aging_message
Glad i wasn't the only one who wasted a day with this crp.
Can we upgrade BQk1 to oreo?

I'd updated to Oreo from BQL1 and am trying to Odin back, but it keeps failing. Anyone have any suggestions? I'm using the 3.12.7 odin.
Thanks!
All good. Re-installed the samsung drivers and everything worked perfectly.

Hey. A new sim card worked for you? Didn't work for me.

Try using Odin3 v3.12 PrinceComsy to roll back to GS950USQU2BQK5.
Also, did you activate the new sim card on the vz website first?
I'm pretty sure this is what I did...
Factory reset, shutdown, remove the old sim, activated the new sim online, insert the new sim into the s8, turn on the phone.

Can we roll back to the previous firmware from S2QBLI back to U2BQK5 so I can then root my phone and use my hotspot

Can someone please post a mirror to the firmware, every site I go to download has a d/l speed of about 15kbps and I can't be annoyed with that. Thank you!!
