it sounds like the efs/imei directory is wiped or corrupted take a look at this thread, might be able to help http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1611796Its for the galaxy s2 but file directories are the same.
have they tried to update the phone back to stock firmware by using samsung kies? that may also work.

But...yes there is a but.
1) The t879 runs a i717 rom....and it has got no root acces, is that even possible?

Hello,
I have a Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830 for 3 years now. I flashed different roms and did root my phone in all these years. But... now i received a new sim card which works well in other phones but NOT in my ace. So that must be a problem with my ace.. I just flashed back to the stock rom (XEN - Netherlands S5830XENKS1) via ODIN but the problem is still there, i can't use my sim-card: "Emergency only".
I already wiped data and cleared cache, hard reset... nothing works. What could i try to have my phone back working with sim card so i can call, sms and use my dataplan. My phone have no simlock i checked and the IMEI is also the right. The one shown by #06# is the same as printed behind my battery. I also received a new sim card from my provider, but this one also has the same problem.
I hope you guys can help me out! :good::good::good:
UPDATE 1: I tried differend sim cards in the phone. I always used to have T-Mobile as provider. All other simcards are not working, theyre showing up for a few seconds and after that it says: Emergency calls only. When i put in a T-Mobile sim card the provider keeps displayed, so it looks like my phone only works with a t-mobile card. But it's not sim locked, because i also used differend sim cards before..
UPDATE 2: Now my simyo simcard also connects and i can sms, call and internet. But after a few seconds/minutes again the message: Emergency calls only
WHAT COULD THIS PROBLEM BE??!!??! Strange.............. I really hope someone can help me out this

I think your device has a problem to make contact with sims cards, so your device have a trouble accessing read and use sim cards... You can send your device to the support service, to check or try to fix it...Have your warranty still in effect?

Hello, thanks for your reply! No, my warranty is not active anymore. My phone is 3 years old. Today i went to another city and could call and sms the whole day. No internet. When i came home, i received again the message: emergency only. How strange.. I also could'nt find a good rom or firmware to flash back my phone to the full original software and firmware... Can someone help me on that? I need the newest firmware for the samsung galaxy ace s5830, netherlands version. Or maybe a custom rom which is the most used and stable version. I would like to exclude software reasons, so it might be a hardware problem. But i think it's a software fault cause of the different roms i tried on the phone.

It's very strange.. here it is Netherland's fws, try flashing your device if you want, but I've never heard that strange problem xD
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/?model=GT-S5830&pcode=XEN#firmware
Always when you'll change your custom rom do the 3 wipes to leave your device as clean as possible
Thanks for your fast reply! I did this firmware already yesterday and also wiped dat and cache + recovery... The problem keops showing up I will try this same firmware again and let you know if there are changes or not.

You can also flash whatever fw you want from EUROPE, because your device is unlocked in order to check your sim's trouble

Again flashed the original firmware to my Ace. Wiped data and cleared cache. Everything works..... Except... the simcard. Can't call, can't sms and can't make an internet connection. So, still the same problem. The sim works well in another phone, and another simcard in the Ace gives also "Emergency call only". So it HAS to be something with my phone. Someone any idea's i can try / check now i'm very sure it's a phone problem with original new flashed firmware? I hope it's not an hardware defect......... how can i check?
UPDATE: The only simcard which works well is a T-Mobile prepaid simcard. All other simcards sometimes shows up, but most of the time not. The more strange fact is today: I went to another city and was able to call and sms the whole day. But no internet. When i came home, i received again the message: emergency only. This is so strange and makes me very sad. The phone is simlockfree, WHAT COULD IT BE So strange............
Tomorrow i had internet connection, could call and sms. My provider was shown on the screen and nothing wrong. But unfortunately just for a few minutes... No stable connection.
Someone any idea? :crying:
I too faced this problem once.....What I did is that I just formatted the system , wiped data , cache , sd ext and dalvik cache and then restored a backup of my earlier ROM in which the Sim was working ! And it was fixed....

Thanks for your reply! I did your trick but unfortunately... It did'nt help. Very interesting thing is, while i'm traveling around there is no problem, but as soon as i stop driving and walk around, the problems are back. Someone any idea on this strange problem? :crying:
cant access sim
until now this is problem...
why they cant fix this important setting
better to back to stock rom.
is does all are working
yeah CM's are good but still
many bugs and error
like this one.
not STK, sim contact save
and show in contact app
i hope they fix this one asap
You dont have any choice other than visiting the service centre. Yes they may charge you a good amount but seems none of the methods are working.
Also try contacting your service provider maybe thay know the exact reason.

Hi All,
I bought a UK version of One Mini 2 sold by Vodafone, initially locked to Vodafone. I unlocked it via eBay. The software is very buggy and phone had been stuck in the initial boot screen (HTC One logo) for 3 times in 6 months and I had to do a full factory reset going in the console.
Right now, I am keep getting '"Unfortunately Google Play Services has stopped". error. It keeps flashing and it's very annoying. Also the Facebook app does not work. It will open and after 3-4 seconds it will close.
I am fed up with the software and would like to update it to a sim free version. Is it possible ?
Are there any stable version of CM ?
Code:
[U]My device details

HTC Sense [B]v6.0[/B]

Thank you for the help.
Vodafone was selling it on PAYG in Nov for 180 quid and 1 quid unlock on eBay. I had One S earlier and wanted a mini version. But this is too buggy.
Currently HTC Dev does not list One Mini 2. Is it still OK to use it ? Do you have any experience in using it on UK carriers ?

use any other models from HTC DEV
this stock is from UK.
its from my phone and from UK others have tried and worked.
give it shot.
I'm also using a UK Vodafone mini 2 and mine has no problems at all, a factory reset is probably the best thing to try.
Have you tried clearing data for Google play services? You should give it a try and restart your phone, also try clearing data for facebook, if it don't sort it, back up your data and try the factory reset.
If you unlock your bootloader and flash an unbranded stock Rom you will be giving up your warranty too!
I unlocked it from eBay for a quid. I think that voids my warranty.
Earlier, around 4 times, my phone was almost bricked when it was stuck in boot screen. Usually when all apps start giving error and if I restart it might never come back. The I had to a full reset from console to get back. I tried to clear data and cache for all google play and FB still same error. Now, I downgraded my FB to an older version and it seems to work.
I play FUT Mobile 15 and use Whatsapp and FB. One way or other I will have some error poping up all the time. That's why wanted to try Sim free version.
Do you thing Clearing the Phone's Cache Partition could help with these issues ?
@intel007 See this vodafone forum post. There are few other posts complaining about this.
I remember a UK Hot deals discussion where some member said that Vodafone is selling 2 different sets of Mini 2, first set is an old stock and second one is a new one which can be unlocked only from Vodafone. I guess mine falls under the first one.
SIM unlocking will not void your warranty, HTC would not check that if it was sent in for service, they'll only check the boot loader status.
Are you using an sd card, try taking it out, my son had problems with 2 phones freezing which we returned, in the end it turned out to be a bad sd card.
You could try clearing cache from stock recovery, it'll do no harm and is worth a try, if your still having issues you should backup your data and do a factory reset.
As a very last resort you should call HTC UK to have the phone collected for service, which in my experience should take around a week.
Ps there are 2 models of one mini 2, my son's unlocked European version has no nfc where mine does.
Good luck and all the best
Deleting cache partition did not help. Finally did a full factory reset from the boot. It's been few hours and it looks OK now.
@intel007, I am using an SD card. Yea, after you mentioned about it I kinda feel that it could be an issue. After the reset, I formatted the SD card on my computer (Win 8) and then switched off the phone and inserted the SD card. When I switched ON the phone, it gave me an error saying "SD Card Unexpectedly Removed" only once. Then it was fine and I can store and retrieve stuff from it.
I am going to give it one more chance and hoping that Lollipop will be out soon.

Looks like HTC have cancelled the update for the one mini 2 completely and we won't be receiving it.

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?

All good. Re-installed the samsung drivers and everything worked perfectly.

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.

Who is your provider? Are you using SIM or eSIM? Are you rooted? Did you disable all the Magisk modules before the update? If you forgot that step, have you since disabled all Magisk modules and started over?
While you may be out of commission on the phone side (although, Google Voice would be a good band-aid), you may not be out of commission on the SMS side. Google's text app, Messaging, recently went live with RCS messaging and it can send texts via WiFi.
Incidentally, if it's Google Fi that's giving you fits, the same thing happens to me every time I do a clean install. Fi refuses to connect until I've rebooted two or three times and then the final confirmation comes several hours later.

Okay, you answered almost none of my questions but it's irrelevant at this point because it sounds like the phone was stolen. If the IMEI is reported as stolen, it's flagged in a database and alerted carriers will shut off the service.
If that's the case, at this point, I'd be more concerned about the police knocking on my door than lack of mobile service. I'd send you over to IMEI.info to verify but I'm guessing I haven't told you anything you didn't already know.
imei number legit not reported or blacklisted, but yeah i think this phone is doomed unless there some magic update resolved this

Why don't you try to reset using the last official 10 firmware (to reset all partitions), then activate through setup, then flash and test a custom rom. This is of course only possible if it's an unlocked bootloader (which you didn't mention) but that's where I'd start especially if it worked before the update. You say is legit and sounds like it worked BEFORE the last update so roll back and then use a custom rom.

Unfortunately it's my best guess because I can't reproduce it myself but if it worked prior to the firmware upgrade, it should work by reverting the firmware to the previous firmware in my opinion. I'd take it the step furtherand go with a custom 10 ROM to remove Google firmware updates messing with it in the future (assuming we get it working again).
Interestingly enough, I searched other forums and found other users reporting the same issue. Again, assuming it worked on the previous firmware, I would roll bak to it. Ideally, I would rollback to 10 because I know 10 works (not sure how well it works for you in your local and provider), but thats where I would start. Backup everything you need, then use the last 10 firmware to -w the device and activate then start over.
