I9000 imei problems

Hi everyone,
at a bit of a loss here . Bought a galaxy s i9000 which someone had had issues when trying to upgrade firmware- managed to recover it , but it has serial number issues ( 004990 etc ) strange thing is phone shows as unlocked but only works on vodafone and virgin which it does fine . When another sim card is used it shows network name but out of service - could it be the imei is being blocked or any other ideas - I am on T mobile so as it stands allthough it works it is not much use to me ,
thanks in advance .

Its possible, since you are using a fake IMEI and different networks have different policies, , you could try fixing your EFS, to get back your IMEI, solution on EFS, Click MY Android Collection Link below

thanks for the reply - I can see txt in folder showing correct imei but it displays "fake" one - think this maybe getting a bit heavy for me - can this be repaired at all
cheers

Flash gingerbread through ODIN
Hey I had an issue like that when my friend failed at flashing his phone and doing an odin flash to gingerbread solved it for me with re-partition selected

Phone has gone back under warranty so hopefully all is cool - if not I will try the repartition.
cheers

[Q] SIM Card not recognized

Galaxy S advance.
Rooted a while ago. Android 4.1.2
Baseband I9070XXLQ4
Today phone says 'no SIM'. I can't call, I can't be called. Only emergency calls.
SIM card works with other phones.
So it's software or hardware.

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 ?

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] Xperia V update from android 4.1.2 to 4.3 / firmware 9.1.A.1.140 to 9.2.a.2.5

Good day, I have a problem with my android and firmware update. I have seen some blogs about xperiaV posting that they already have JB 4.3 update and the latest version of firmware 9.2.a.2.5.. I am wondering how they update it 'cause when i connect my phone to Pc and run the PC Companion, i check the update and it says my phone/tablet is up to date, but the android version of my phone was still 4.1.2 and the firmware version is 9.1.a.1.140.. I don't understand what is the problem of my phone or at my PC Companion Software. I tried also connecting my phone to internet and check for update and still it says my system is up to date. My main concern why i wanted to update my phone, it is because my phone is now dead signal as in no signal (by the way i'm form the Philippines using Smart Communication Network postpaid) I've already switching the network from GSM only and to other choices provided but still no signal. I tried switching my Airplane mode and it displays an airplane icon on the signal area (I think airplane mode is working well, never tried using is). I've read some blogs also that you need to root your phone and flash the firmware and so on to update the android version, but i think its just changing the room, not really updating the system. I don't want to do that 'cause my phone might turn into bootloap 'cause i don't have much knowledge on doing that. I've read also some blogs stating that there is a bug or network issue on version 4.1.2. So i am looking forward from anybody here in the forum who can help or teach me what to do to update my android and firmware version.

I am not sure of it useful to 'upgrade" the phone to solve a problem - this problem of yours. If I were you I'd use the repair my phone option in PC-Companion first, and then see what happens with the phone signal.

You can simly flash any ftf file for your phone with flashtool. Not the sony one. You don't need root access for it

#Mr. Peter-K I've tried it already just a minute ago and still no use. Related to the blogs that i have read regarding on the 4.1.2 version network bug. there problem has been solve after updating the version of there android.
#Mr. Jimmy i'm new here, i hve knowledge on doing flash but i dont have any idea what file to download so that i can update the version of my android to 4.3 and the firmware also. I would like to ask you help if its ok for you,.

Look at this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2648320
Download 9.2.A.2.5 unbranded coming from Singapore or HongKong (since you're from Asia) and follow the instructions to flash.
Good luck

Follow up question. Base on my current system version that i have witch is "Build 9.1.A.1.140, do i need to update my system first to 9.2.A.1.210 or its ok if i will go directly to 9.2.A.2.5?

You can jump straight to 9.2.A.2.5
It's important that you wipe all your data... and Flashtool will do it for you automatically if you don't change anything just before flashing

Mr. Istux got an OT question here. I have concern also on my network set up. I want to unlock my network so that i can use other sim card. My phone is Lock to Smart Communication Postpaid. So i wanted it to be open-line. Hope you can give some advise to solve my concern..

I actually don't know how sim-unlocking works.
Have you ever asked to your network? Usually they give you a code after having paid a little fine.

Back to my thread.still my phone signal is not working. i just found out w while ago that if i am in the higher place like 2nd floor of the building, i got a 2g network and my phone signal is working. but if i'm already at the ground floor the signal is not working. is it ok if i am going to do open line on my so that it will receive any type of network or is it really the software problem of my phone causing the signal not working??

[Q] BR Lost IMEI / PDS.img (XT1068)

Hello everybody .
I have the Moto G 2014, model XT1068 ( StockRom KK 4.4.4. ), but a few months ago was changing rom , when the backup did not work (do not ask me why) , to save the EFS folder and / or PDS file. img .
Lately my phone is only a tablet , because it does not capture the local GSM signal, ie , can not identify anything ...
From what I've researched here , I need "PDS.img" file, it would only be with him that the mobile network could go back to normal?
After I have the file, I need modify anything or just only drop (flash) in the phone?
Please help me with the necessary files.
PS1: My Stock ROM it's a Global Retail 21.11.27 and XRB 21.85.27.
PS2: My two nunmbers appears at *#06# but, not allow signal, NEVER allow, just "disable" in the both slots.

Help needed:strange S3 mini became sim locked after installing custom rom

Hello ,
I hope that someone could help me !
My friend ask me to mod a galaxy s3 mini i8190n .
It was bought in UK (used from a shop) , but from the splash screen i saw that it was original from french (SFR carrier).
Before do everything i checked the IMEI displayed and it was the same of the sticker behind battery (it was ok) and i saved the original firmware code .
The phone was working properly with an uk sim , so i didn't think that it was sim locked .
I rooted the phone and made a backup with CWM.
After i saw the last release of cyanogenmod 12.1 , i flashed TWRP and CM12.1.
I didn't try with sim inserted at the beginning . After all wipes the system was unstable (reboot , black screen etc ) .
So i tried to flash the Resurrection Remix (last release) that worked better .
With the last rom i tried 2 sims (perfect working in other two phones) and both are not recognized (no sim icon).
No message for unlock the phone on starting was displayed!
I thought at that moment that probably the phone could have some problem with flashed roms.
I decided to reflash CWM and restore the original firmware from backup . The problem persisted (no sim ).
So i found the original rom on sammobile and flashed it . No sims recognized as well !
Imei was the same with all roms , so i think that the EFS folder is good !
I read a lot and discovered that the sim unlock is stored in a protected memory area , so i think i couldn't delete the unlock ... If it had been unlocked before being sold. Am i right ?? And i would like to exclude an hardware problem .. because the phone was working properly before the modding!
What could I do for resolve this problem? The phone is not mine and i'm so sorry to have made a mess!
Thanks in advance for any suggestion.
This is the orginal firmware version

Just wondering if you resolved this problem. I had the same problem - no SIM working on any custom ROM. I could only fix it by re-flashing stock Recovery in Odin, and then Re-flashing stock ROM also in Odin.
