[Q] Advice on what to try next?- 3 sim issue

Hi Everyone,
Thanks for taking the time to look at my problems
I have a gt-i9000 which was orginally on O2 network. They unlocked for me at the end of my contract but no matter what I did I could not get my phone to accept my new three network sim.
Three replaced the first sim and I know the new one works - they got it to work in store and I've used it on an old handset of my dads.
I can get my works sim to work in the phone and connect to data with no problems.
It was suggested that I try flashing the phone with new firmware.
So I have managed over this weekend to upgrade my firmware to 2.3.6 gingerbread xxjw4
then root the phone - first attempt bootlooped it.
but second attempt worked.
I've now got it upgraded to
4.2.2
baseband : i9000XXJVT
kernel: 3.0.71- Semaphore_JB_2.9.18s
slim version : slim-4.2.2.build3-OFFICIAL
build number JDQ39
but the three sim still will not work in the phone.
So my questions are :
any other suggestions on getting the sim to work or could it be an actual fault with the handset?
I have my husbands gt-i9000 I could try and root to see if that works but that is still sim-locked to o2 and I don't know how to remove it.
I'm also considering downgrading the firmware as I am finding quite a few of my everyday apps won't run. And my data on o2 sim seems quite flakey if it connects.
Is this as simple as flashing the old firmware back on?
Thanks for your time - grateful newbie.

[Q] HELP - Phone cannot connect to any mobile network cyanogenmod 10.1

I bought the a samsung GT-I9000 off ebay, it was locked to vodafone and running standard OS.
Despite soft bricking it I did a factory restore, rooted and flashed it with cyanogenmod 10.1.
Everything is working, except I cannot to any mobile network. When I try to connect it says "cannot connect at this time, try again later" or it encountered "an error". It takes ages doing this as well.
The APN settings are all there and correct as I can compare them to my rooted HTC which works fine on the same ROM.
The IMEI number is given by *#06# and this is also given in the phone information. The same IMEI is on the back of the phone under the battery as well.
If I leave the phone on, it gives Orange (EE ) as the network but says emergency only i.e no service.
I rang Orange and they said there is no problem , which I suspected, as my HTC work fine. Orange also said there is no problem with the phone relating to IMEI - its not stolen.
Can anyone help please? Thanks in advance

Hi again
Two questions: is the phone unlocked now? Did you have the connection with this same SIM card by using previously flashed ROM?
If both answers "yes", your presently installed baseband is probably not compatible with the region where you live. Google after the regional codes (letters in your baseband version) and find the right one for your region. Here are all flashable baseband versions for the CyanogenMod:

I upgraded to stable 10.1.3 last night, simply thinking what do I have to lose? and it worked for a bit then stopped.
Whats stranger is it started working when I got to work - it doesnt recognise EE which is the company who bought Orange/T-Mobile but it connects to Orange or T-Mobile and works as Orange......
It connected to providers last night but never for more than a few seconds and then stopped.
I have called and texted from it and all now seems fine!

The phone lost signal when I got home - ultimately solved it by flashing it with modem XXJVP and updated APN to those given for EE, not Orange.
All been stable now for 3 days :laugh:

[Q] After flashing: Network weak, only Edge, no modems work

First time poster, long time lurker, absolute phone novice.
I am using a i9305 (Hong Kong model, bought from Kogan Australia). I am based in Malaysia. Before all this I just popped my sim card in and utilised the stock ROMs. No issues with 4G or network whatsoever, but the phone got really slow after 4.3 to I decided to install CM11 using Heimdall.
Long story short, I absolutely screwed it up, and the phone showed the "software fail" screen. After scouring XDA and undertaking a number of fixes which didn't work (I'm scared this is what screwed my phone), I finally worked out to flash the Hong Kong stock 4.3 ROM using Odin,which brought my phone back to me. However, now I can only pick up Edge and barely get network reception. It is definitely not a sim issue as my sim in my wife's identical i9305 picks up 4G and network within a second of switching on.
I've searched every thread but cannot find an answer which works.I've flashed a whole bunch of modems but to no avail. I hope I haven't screwed my phone. Threads I've utilised include:

Have you tried wiping your cache in stock recovery (or whatever recovery you have, I can't really tell from your post)? I think you had problems with CM11 since you likely dirty flashed (no wipe of cache, data and system) and used Heimdall instead of flashing it through a custom recovery.

Possible answer

When you wipe the whole system to change to another rom, there is always a good chance that you can lose the modem during the process. Rom's may come with their on custom modem , but may not be fully compatible. try to download and flash with odin the modem of the stock rom once again. Your problem is related with the modem

Sorry for not responding, I was in Korea for work and left the bad phone back at home for the past 3 weeks.
I tried the clearing cache, but no good.
I will try flash the stock modem now (see below I notice the difference).
I noticed while syncing my google account that the IMEI on my phone had changed. Would this have anything to do with the issues I am facing? The below is my "before and after".

Stock modem didn't work.
Factory reset, odin flashed the stock software again (with the stock modem). Same issue.
Followed instructions on this page for missing IMEI: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...warning-guide-backup-restore-imei-nv-t1946915
Tried *#06# but still no IMEI.
Any solutions?

Tried everything I read in lyquidperfection's awesome mega-thread, but nothing works. still got a /01 when I type *#06# and in the 'about' section it now shows IMEI: Unknown.
Everything else works fine, just the internet is stuck on Edge.

so I tried a few more things today but to no avail.
The IMEI shows up as "Unknown" in the phone settings and when I do *#06* I get a /01 message.
However, when I check my IMEI against my Google account, I get the above number.
Any suggestions as how to fix?

as of today, new modem is being release. I9305XXUFNI3
info here
for modem u can read this
download links from page, or this link
im quite new, but i hope this helps.

Thanks. Didn't work, still Edge.
Going to try flash again.

You could try running a different country's stock ROM, or maybe seeing whether you get 4G while using a custom ROM (Liquidsmooth maybe).

1. Restore a working QCN backup (like this one) http://www.mediafire.com/download/4j...4_19-53-39.rar through the download tool of the QPST suite
2. Change the IMEI to match yours. <<<<. DON'T SKIP THIS STEP. There are many way to do this, i used RF NV manager. I can't be more specific since this topic is off-limits on XDA.
3. Perform a factory reset.
I can't test LTE connection, because where I live there is no coverage, but I'll try as soon as I can.

For absolute n00bs like me:
Step #1, use QPST Suite from this thread to install the QCN backup as per above: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...warning-guide-backup-restore-imei-nv-t1946915
Step #2, uninstall QPST, follow this thread (post #4): http://rootzwiki.com/topic/32397-tutorial-imei-backup-nv-with-qpst-us-variants/
>> I didn't have the US version LTE phone, but it works on my LTE International
Step #3, go into recovery and wipe cache and factory reset.
>> *#06# should show your imei, and your 4G should be back. mine came back instantly two months of pain over!!!!!!!!

[Q] Unable to connect to mobile network after failed flash.

So trying to put CyanogenMod onto my phone, I haven't been able to use it for a while because all I had was a black screen. Late last year, I manage to get it up and running again. Everything worked fine until an hour after flashing the stock ROM onto my phone, the connection to the Mobile network disappears. I flash the phone again and the mobile network connection is only temporary. Anywhere between 20 mins to 3 hours. The phone can't scan for any mobile networks at all. Everything else seems to work fine but what's the point of a phone that doesn't make calls?
Any ideas or additional information you guys need to get this cellular-less cellphone working again?

Hey,
My Z1 has also been having a mobile connection issue for a while now.
Scans for networks, finds some of them, but cannot connect to any.
Flashed every stock F/W i could find, tried several working SIM cards, did a TA restore.
A few days ago I replaced the chip with the speaker, radio and antenas on it ( 13 $ from china ).
nothing.
Any ideas are welcome.
Thanks guys

You both try first to restore TA and relock your phone. then reflash stock .157 FTF. Or maybe, flash a custom kernel that match to the current FW you are running. if it is based on .157, look for custom kernel that runs at .157

yes, dear tried all the flashing, TA and custom kernel crap. got fed up with it already
I never went outside stock firmware, tho. I saw that OP was trying CM before it happened.
and my phone used to be carrier locked, but I unlocked it with a code about 2 years ago. Could that be acting up? I am not familiar with the low-level stuff

Yep... I did all that flashing too. All started with that failed CM flash.

Sounds like a failed modem flash or baseband

I have just noticed when I dial *#*#6463#*#* to get the phone menu up and selected the 3 vertical dots, under select band, I only have the USA bands. Where did all the others go? How do I get all the others back?

Normally it would, if you choose a Pure Stock (with no additional stuffs). i experience it also one time. I was on LB then installed the ParanoidAndroid (CM Based ROM) then i lose my network. i just relock my BL, flash the custom kernel.

Hey man, sorry i forgot to read my own comment about flashing the FTF. Can you try to insert another SIM in your phone? or inserting your SIM to another phone? (Maybe your network provider has the problem?) Have you tried also using the PC Companion? or the Flashtool for Xperia? though you need to unlock your phone if your gonna use the Flashtool for Xperia, but you can relock it later.
Let's try to do anything we can do before you let go some of your cash.

Good ideas, bro Sadly i tried all of them ( except Flashtool for Xperia, since my bootloader is not unlockable ). Several SIM cards, various operators in 2 countries. As I mentioned in my first post, I even went as far as ordering a new radio unit ( a chip that houses the speaker and radio + two antenas ) and swapping it in. Did all possible factory resets. retored TA ( even tho my IMEI and Baseband show up ok ).
2 years ago when I had to carrier unlock my phone, I did it with a code and it worked alright for a very long time. This is the only thing I can think of that might be wrong with it, but I tried a SIM card from the operator it was originally locked for and its the same.
It detects the SIM card, it scans for networks normally, but when I try to connect manually to a network it says "unable to connect to network, check if sim card is in or you are allowed bla bla" . Automatic network selection gives no result
