[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.

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.

i hope they fix it! Again thanks for the help! :highfive:

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.

How to keep OP3 protected from any kind of theif flashing the device

I had kept my bootloader unlocked for flashing new ROMs but unfortunately i lost it on train and now i can understand that the theif can easily flash a new rom and so i can never retrive my device as far as i understood that i have to keep my bootloader locked but this means that i have to unlock and relock my bootloader each time i want to flash a new rom so this is very problematic for losing internal data too every time.
Also i don't have a job else i would have brought a new OP3T. I hope that in future OP can introduce some hardwire based tracking for lost devices , what do you people suggest?

I suggest that if the thief is able to flash a new ROM, he will be perfectly able to open the bootloader. So I recommend that you do not worry about having the bootloader open.
As for the tracking system, I think Google has already developed certain functions aimed at this use. When I have time I will investigate about this topic and update this post.
Please, be awere.

Try Google device manager. Thats the tracking tool you searching for. ?

not a big deal to reset FRP. Samsung and LG FRP takes only few minutes to be removed with z3x box. i think even stock rom have some bugs to bypass FRP. Best way is not to loose your phone.

It won't help you now, but take a screenshot of your imei, then back it up to your photos. If your phone is lost or stolen report it and depending on what country you live in, it will be black listed. Then it won't work on any carrier, no matter which rom is flashed.

Since I had kept my bootloader unlocked I believe that can easily flash a new rom so Android device manager won't be useful at all

Ya I know that I have already submitted FIR in police with the IMEI number but I believe these days they remove all the parts and sell the parts differently so very less chance in recovery

Also my original goal was to remove sim lock and be able to use a european sim card which even when i tried with combination firmware still asks me for an unlock code can anything be done?
Thanks in advance.

After you flash the firmware back you might give the youtube video a try instead. It works flawlessly for this model.

As for the european sim card you could always call and tell your carrier you are going on vacation overseas and need the phone unlocked. =]

Download this firmware and then flash it with Odin and you'll be back on 8.0.. It seems to me that the phone is carrier locked and either hasn't been paid off fully or something.. The 8.0 firmware is here.. https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=1395089523397940842

No it will not do that. You need to purchase an unlock code from a retailer online that sells unlock codes.. If the phones not been paid off the IMEI will be blacklisted..

Ok, I just paid 10 bucks on eBay for someone to unlock it. Hopefully it's permanent. I was pretty skeptical but it appears to be working now. Hopefully it will stay working. If So, 10 bucks well spent.

there are no legal methods of doing this and XDA does not support nor allow discussions of this sort to occur. It is already known that there are 3rd party sites who offer services to remove sim card locks, lease locks and blacklist removal, but further discussing those things here is forbidden.

I have found a solution to my issue and have fixed my phone , my apologies for not better info but the phone was not a sprint phone and was never used with sprint it was paid for in full from Best Buy . Com and was simply a screw up somewhere on there end but I have solved my issue via U1 firmware and am happy to report my phone is 100% usable

Can't open the serial com port odin note 9 Any suggestions

Note 9 Combination file - What to do with it?

So i´ve been locked in the KG State Prenormal for about 2 months now, two weeks of it i kept the phone connected without rebooting or removing the SIM...
I´m on my limit right now, just a few sights of the word "Prenormal" away of smashing this pieceof sh*t (1000 euros piece of...) against a wall... the use of an hammer also crossed my mind...
I´m about to give up, and sell this pos to buy a phone that actually would belong to me and not to the brand that sold me... Cause Samsung is NOT that brand, also i might never buy anything from these control freaks psichos again... anyway i digress...
After testing all guides i could find, flashed several ROMs i realized that the mistake i made was to update to binary 4... now i´m stuck...
Anyway, after all this, i stumbled upon this file "COMBINATION_FAC_FA81_N960FXXU4ASJ2_FACFAC_CL13996359_QB26885160_REV00_user_mid_noship.tar" that i actualy can flash, but can´t do much else with it...
It has binary 4 and is a very slimed down version of Oreo 8.1. I can install custom binaries, including TWRP, but can´t boot to it.. the phone just reboots.
I can even flash the magisk_patched AP i got, but then the phone wont boot at all. Can´t overlapped it with my stock rom cause then i got the error that the binaries are mixed up...
Not even with the Oreo ROM cause the binaries wont match...
Once in the OS i can access lots of hardware tools, but can´t install any apk...
So i wonder, What is this crap for? How can i use this?
Anyone here used a Combination file before? For what?
As i guess i have a few more tries before i just smash this phone, any new tips regarding the KG issue are also welcome.
Special thanks to bober10113 for the incredible patience he has proven to have...
Also to Mr. Ketan, that despite his very detailed and awesome guides, i just can´t seem to get rid of this crap... Thank you for all your amazing work that certainly saved a lot of other users... just not me...
And people, DON´T GIVE REMOTE ACCESS TO YOUR PC TO ANYONE CLAIMING THAT HE CAN HELP YOU.... You know who you are! Scammer!
No Hangouts chats! If this sorry excuse for a human had a real solution, he should share it with the community, not pull you over aside...

Can you explain HOW can make a downgrade of fw?
I updated to version U4, and at this moment can´t flash fw U3, because Samsung...
I tried to to flash U3 fw over this Combination file, but always got the error "...Device 4 Binaries 3..." even without the BL file on Odin.
In fact, even when flashed individually, BL, AP, CP and CSC give that error.
So, how can this file help me?
