Try resetting the phone, first get your MSL by using terminal emulator, typing getprop ril.MSL . Then ##72786#, enter MSL. hopefully it will restore service.

I would say make sure you update your profile and PRL also, though it may not let you I guess... nevermind lol

Didn't come up with a MSL, when i flashed the wrong phone rom it trashed the modem.bin.. just need to get the right one i hope
P.S. Can't get kies to see it either on 3 pc's but the phone boots fine..

Having an employee taking it to the sprint store right now... suprised android doesn't have just full roms like iphones.. probably hard to do with all the different hardware though.. my own fault stupid modem.bin and me

With Samsung I have learned that Odin is your friend when flashing.

When phone is plugged into pc it says on my phone MTP-CONNECTED and on my pc it labels it as portable device..... Idk if this helps or not
edit: well i have entered this *#767*3855# and it has gotten me to atleast a signal bar but says im roaming and cant update profile or anything.....says error no service error...
Edit: well sprint tried to get my phone to restore profile n that.I got my msl code but phone says its wrong so know they say I need to drive an hr to a sprint store nothing else they can do....
Edit: know it says im on channel 0...
When i tried to place a call it stated welcome to verizon ....
Edit: I have used the trick found to upload cutom prl and i am know on sprint. and the msl code that sprint gave me works with qpst but not the software on the phone? Is there a way to edit the profile info so i can get my stuff set back up using qpst?

I KNOW THIS IS ALOT OF INFO BUT TRYING TO GIVE AS MUCH AS I CAN SORRY...
How do i fix this and get out of this mode?
I believe you just need to grab one of the .bin files (like the new EG30.bin) and put THAT in phone. That's where I flashed my Modem.bin to, so I'd guess that's what you need to do.
yea ive tried that to no aval....ty for trying to help tho...

Has anyone tied a FULL tar together that includes the ROM, modem, and kernel? Maybe that would get you out of that because it would overwrite everything in one shot. When I last flashed the stock tar it still wasn't complete so my apps and modem remained. A full tar might set everything back to out-of-the-box condition. Let me see if one is posted yet..

Did that include a modem? If it did, it must have been EG12 because we couldn't get back to EG30 until tonight. I am tired so I may be missing something but there is a way to fix this. I walked someone who flashed a GSM radio on a CDMA Nexus and we saved that. I know there's a way but I may need to sleep on it.

Q about wifi calling

Hey I'm switching from an infuse w att to an s2 on T-Mobile tonight.
I'm excited for a new toy and all but mostly BC of the wifi calling. I read somewhere earlier this phone does not have wifi calling? I'm kind of confused. Its not a Problem if I have to root and install a rom to get it to work I just need to know. Thanks!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA App
It supports wifi calling as of the latest ota update. It works great.
2.3.5 does not have WiFi calling
2.3.6 does.
Just flash a ROM if you are stuck at 2.3.5.

sick. I click update and it says no firmware. I just got this phone two hours ago. Does this only update via kies?
And...now for the direction of roms and all...coming from an infuse, I have no idea where to start beyond doing the root with odin as stated in the big root thread. I'm used to putting the rom on the card and flashing. nothing else. Never added kernels and such. I'd like the best battery life and to keep my wifi as good as possible (Ive heard some rome stop the wifi calling and all)
Yeah the thing that sucks is you have to wait till the firmware is pushed to your phone.
Odin is only used to flash the recovery and kernels.
After flashing the recovery, you can put ROMs on the SD card like normal and flash it.

hmmm kies said I could update it through there...so the phone is on the charger now before i start.
I havent rooted yet bc I wanted to get the 2.3.6 to make sure wifi calling works. I'll update, then root...oh...the HOW TO ROOT section has whatever PDA in it to use, will that work with 2.3.6?
Glad i remembered to ask that now lol
Ohhh and the UNROOT newer "easy" link doesn't work. says to tell an admin...not sure about that.
u also need the newest simcard for the wifi calling to work as well

yes when you flash the recover in odin you select it under pda and let it finish and reboot.. the oneclick rooting method doesnt work with the new 2.3.6.. also not sure which easy unroot method youre talking about but if its the zedomax rom i suggest staying away from it because others have reported that after flashing it the phone was no longer recognize by the computer or odin best way to go back to stock is to flash the stock 2.3.6 md5 with odin found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1350360..

yep u can still use the same files in the how to thread the clockwork recovery and superuser might be older versions i think but you can update the clockwork recovery with rom manager just make sure you choose the 1 that says samsung t-mobile galaxy s2 and can update the superuser in the market.. oh and when you first flash the su file in recover it might not stick the first time but dont worry just keep flashing it til it completes some ppl have said it sticks even if it doesnt complete but i just keep flashing til it did ive gotten it to finish on the second or third time whenever it didnt stick the first try

Whoever said odin is just used to flash recovery's and kernels doesn't know what they are talking about. I would say use odin to do the 2.3.6 update because it will update ALL of your firmware and not just the rom.

[Q] If I flashed GT-N7100 ROM, how can I get back?

First, I'm an idiot,,,got new to android,,had no idea about flashing,, so I just randomly picked a Rom, and turned out its a GT-N7100 ROM, now my phone has no signal at all,,, anyone know how to flash back ? or I have to wait a att ROM come out?
BTW, Im with Rogers.
Thanks:laugh:
your gonna have to wait till either someone makes a odin back with a stock rom or makes a stock rom you can flash via recovery.
EDIT: did you make a backup?
this reminds me of the following youtube video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwleOote5M0
Can you give a link to the firmware you flashed? It'd be useful to know if it contained a modem and/or kernel (or not.)
If it contained a modem, you'll need another modem. If it contained a kernel, you'll need another kernel. We have those. Regardless, you'll need to talk someone into getting you a system image (someone that has the same phone as you and has already rooted.)
Also, do you have CWM recovery installed? Is the existing firmware (as trashed as it might be) rooted? Can you use adb?
im an idiot

I just opened the file you linked to.. it includes a modem, kernel, etc.
I know you won't be happy with this, but until an ODIN image shows up, you're kind of out of luck. If someone you know has the same phone, you could ask them to do a backup to an external memory card, and then you restore that backup to your device. Assuming the modem wasn't flashed when you installed, that would get you back into business. If a modem was flashed, you'll need to get someone to extract a modem (and I'm not sure how to go about doing that.)
garyd9 said:
Please answer ALL of these questions. I can't help you if you don't answer them all...
Does your phone work now, with the exception of connecting to the mobile network?
Are you familiar with adb? If so, are you able to get a shell via adb?
When you plug your phone into your computer, are you able to copy files to/from the phone?
Which custom recovery do you have installed? CWM recovery or TWRP?
Is your phone rooted? (it probably is with a custom firmware - assuming the phone works at all.)

sorry buddy,,,
right now, the phone has no signal, asking for a sim card, which Ive already inserted it.
noepe, I donno what adb is, I tried google it, but I think its too complicate for me.
I'm able to copy files into or from my phone( SD card)
i rooted my phone through this:

donno if i successed,,, but it has a superSU on my screen after I done it,(guess it count as rooted?) and I may used the TWRP

now Im back to my old Iphone 4
I updated that post. Basically, I can't think of anything you can do right now.. until an ODIN dump is available - or if someone gets you a backup you can restore. However, a backup won't flash the proper modem (and it appears you also overwrote the modem.)

Perhaps - perhaps not. Until one actually flashes from the other, we don't know. (Many will tell you that they've done it with a different phone model - my answer to that is simply that it was a different phone model. Until its tried with THIS one, we can only guess.)
I think the biggest stumbling block for you right now is the modem. We have a stock kernel and recovery. A "near" stock system partition image can also be made from another device with a simple command. I have to be honest, though, that I have no clue how to extract the modem from these LTE phones.
A recovery (and kernel) can easily be flashed with ODIN (or with dd from a rooted shell.) Same for the system partition (which is, basically, the OS.) Getting a system image might be annoying, as you'd need to find someone with a roger's phone to make it for you, upload it, etc.
The modem, however... I'm not sure how to go about getting that for you. I've never had to create a modem image...
If/when a ODIN package appears, you can use a program that will, basically, reflash your entire phone to stock. Modem, kernel, recovery, bootloader, etc. Everything. Normally, users wouldn't see those ODIN packages, but there are a couple of websites that have access to some samsung servers where they a put. Once they are put there, we can get it...
Take care

Looking forward to this remedy as this is the reason I am jumping from att Galaxy S 3 to the note2. Want my international dev community back!
Unfortunately so far down here in Southern Florida Miami beach there is no white Note 2 anywhere.
For those that have the ATT version of the Note 2, if you've mistakenly flashed the ROM, I highly suggest visiting your nearest AT&T Device Support Center. Since I've previously worked in those centers, they have a propietary Samsung flashing tool that allows them to flash to the stock ROM, even if it's rooted. Granted they'll be able to tell if you've rooted it or not (which may or may not void the warranty, depending on who you talk to), as long as the phone can turn on and go to firmware recovery mode, the flashing works almost 100% of the time and it's a free service.
However, as I got my Note 2 yesterday, I've contacted my nearest DSC and they said that they don't have the ability to flash the Note 2 yet and they may have that ability to do so in the next few weeks or possibly by the end of the year (if you can wait that long). Being that the associates are just corporate drones, if they can't fix it, they'll more than likely replace your phone under warranty (which I don't suggest since the replacements are refurbished, and besides you should be within the 14 day return period for a new phone).
Sorry if it doesn't help the ones who have the Rogers versions.

[Q] need stock virgin firmware for their galaxy sII

so i recently read a thread on howardforums on now to root virgin mobile's samsung galaxy sII. i just got one for christmas and wanted to try it out. apparently i used the wrong kernal when flashing it over to my phone using odin as they specified. so when it was done i attempted to turn the phone on and all i got was the samsung galaxy sII logo and a yellow triangle. i have tried every way i know possible to get this off of my phone. i even went as far as to research repairing this problem using the siyah kernal. i can longer start my phone i can however get into download mode and recovery mode. i have tried to do a factory reset over ten times but it doesnt work. the only other thing i can think of is to flash the original stock firmware over to the phone and hope for the best. does anyone A: know where i could get the original firmware for the phone. i've got it running on Sprints stock firmware at the moment which works fine except i cant get MMS msgs and when i follow the tutorial to add an APN or adjust my APN settings. i don't know why people have told me that it is also know as the samsung epic 4g touch someone explain that please. my model is the SPH-D710. the way i went about getting this sprint stock firmware was i went to samsung mobile and flashed the sprint firmware for the SPH-D710 on my phone thinking since Virgin is a relative company that it would be the same. but now my issue is that when i turn the phone on it loads up the sprint logo instead of the virgin one and it now has all the stock sprint apps instead of virgin ones. andddd. the most annoyhign of them all. i cannot get MMS messages to download no matter what i do. i've tried searching online for what to do i have found this Menu>settings>wireless and networks>more...>mobile networks> press menu> press ADD apn...etc etc. the issue for me is i get to mobile networks and hit menu and it does absolutely nothing at all. i have downloaded numerous apps like chomp sms. go sms pro. hancent sms. nothing helps. though this sprint firmware is fine for now. i'd love to know where to get the stock virgin firmware Samsung Mobile doesnt seem to have it. if anyone knows where to get it i'd appreciate the help i know i am posting in the wrong forum. i'm pretty much a noob at this. and now that its got sprint firmware on it i dont know if i can take it to a sprint store to have them fix it especially since my phone does say that it has been rooted in the past when i go into download mode. but however it does say i am running stock at the current moment....someone please help!! (( all i wanna do is get this phone back to Stock and use it that way. anyone who can help i will be in great debt to you!!!!
basically i need the stock virgin firmware and samsung mobile doesnt seem to have it unless i'm not doing something right. which is possible considering i ended up downloading the sprint firmware by accident and flashing it onto the phone. all i want is to put this back to stock and to continue using the phone from stock
The SPH-D710 is Sprint and that's how you got the Sprint firmware. Also known as the Epic 4G Touch. Yes it is a Galaxy S2 also for some odd reason but any firmware you get will need to be for the Epic 4G Touch. Check that forum out and see if there is any firmware there but I've never seem non-logo'd firmware from Samsung although there may be some.
Sent from my Lightweight v0.5 SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2
i'll give it a try. so you're saying that i need firmware for an epic 4g touch because thats the virgin firmware right?
No, Epic 4G Touch (SPH-D710) is Sprints Galaxy S2 and if you download any stock firmware, chances are It willl be Sprint logo'd. Not sure if you'll find much in the virgin firmware for that model unless someone has ported it which would require root more than likely. Look around here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1281
I'm curious as well to see if there's Sammobile firware and I'll be looking also, but you said you don't even have recovery from data wiping and restore?

MoHoGalore...that seems way too complicated for me to even attempt (the build you sent) i already messed up my phone once messing around with rooting. all i'm looking for is a stock virgin .tar file for this phone so i can flash it over with odin and be done with it. either that or if someone could help me figure out the MMS problem that would work too. i do appreciate you trying to help alot though . there's obviously something wrong from when i rooted to when i put the 'sprint firmware' on. because as i stated earlier i can't get the menu button to bring up ''add apn'' under mobile networks. if i could accomplish that though i woulnd'nt be sure of what settings to use. virgin's or sprints? or neither? im suprised sammobile doesnt have firmware up for this model. i hope they put it up soon if at all. that would make life sooo much easier. anyone know a way of contacting them directly about this issue?

What I linked was a one click build that was done by Garwynn. I however don't know your mmsc settings to properly give you advice on setting back. What I was trying to tell you, without telling you, is if you flashed and broke settings, flashing back to the Virgin build should put you back.
Only other thing I know is finding a Virgin user that can read and give you the correct settings to set apn back.
Garwynn may know more since he knows a few users.
Is there a way to enter what addresses you need using ##3282# from your keypad? I honestly don't know much about what addresses are needed but take a look inside your firmware settings and go from there to get your mms back. You will need your msl to do any editing. Look under view-others-mmsc url and see if you have an address.
Maybe someone can chime in on the exact address.

if i had a virgin user to give me the settings i cant even add an apn when i go to menu>settings>wireless and networks> mobile networks>menu> add apn...when i hit menu under mobile networks it doesnt bring up any options. so i think flashing back to virgin is my only real choice aside from buying insurance. accidentaly dropping and braking the phone and sending in for a replacement. and going from there...

Why are you not doing what he said instead of crazy talk about dropping phone and blah blah blah...

because if u read earlier in the thread rooting the phone is what got me in this spot in the first place. and no one has found the firmware i need yet.

No, what got you in this situation was using the wrong build that broke your mmsc settings. You asked for virgin stock. That's in the link.
So to recap, if flashing broke settings, flashing stock will correct. Then all you have to do is unroot.

Lets try this again..
Flash the firmware from that link.
Install supersu from play store.
Launch supersu.
Go to settings.
Select full/permanent unroot.
The End.

That's the problem. He doesn't know the proper settings. Besides, the virgin stock link for the one click is simple enough.

Lost my IMEI and Service Menu

Hey everyone,
So recently i got my hands on a Samsung S3 T999V and have been playing around with it.
I managed to root it... and keep it rooted (damn Sammy's are a *itch compared to LG)
My current stats are:
I am rooted
Devicename: SGH-T999V
Model number: SGH-T999V
Android version : 4.4.2
Baseband version: Unknown
Kernel version: 3.4.0-1784548

Wed Jun 04 19:40:01 2014
Checking *#06#: null / null
nothing when i enter *#197328640# my service mode is empty...nothing, nada, zip
Long story short..... i wanted to try unlocking it myself next. read and read till my head spun.
...and i took the plunge.
i maybe have tried downgrading to Frosty's 412, got into a repeating boot menu.... restored my back up, had to reset due to Google apps crashing, titanium'ed all my apps and data back....
...that's when i noticed it, i lost my imei and baseband...
(i'm currently asking DocHoliday77 for help, but recently been stuck to only working on it well.... at work )
..does anyone else have any ideas?
So i tried flashing the root66_VTR_T999VVLUEMK5 with MOBILE ODIN PRO, let's see if that helped any....
We can help get you straightened out as far as what is running on your device here in this thread if you prefer. But if the getting your firmware straightened out doesnt fix the imei, we will have to do thst via PM only. The tools and info required for the fix are not allowed to be posted publicly.
I just sent you a PM, but basically what i recommend at this point is to flash the full firmware usin Odin on the computer, not with Mobile Odin.
Mobile Odin only flashes system, kernel, modem and recovery. It doesnt touch the rest of the firmware which also includes the sbl2, sbl3, aboot, rpm and tz partitions.
We need to make sure your modem is matched to the rest of that firmware, so Mobile Odin just wont do the job here.

OK, as i answered in the PM and for the rest to see, this is where i am now:
I know, this is very confusing to me too. I'm not sure what i did this time, i think i flashed the root66_vtr or the stock firmware. I got the phone from my girlfriend, she thought it was dead due to the power supply not charging. Anyways, yesterday in haste of doing somehting before my day way over i did that, now my stats are:

No customer recovery.
used root 66 stock w/ pre-root

Hi I have rooted my at&t gs3 and I'm also having the same issue. *#197328640# no service menu and no imei null/null. Please help me fix this. Message me at [email protected]
You cannot flash stock 4.3 if the phone was running stock 4.4.2.
Does the phone boot at all?

There's a very good chance you've got a mismatched modem. First check your current bootloader version. Open Terminal emulator and enter this:
getprop ro.bootloader
Then look in Settings - About Device for the baseband version. If they don't match, you'll need to find and flash the correct modem. If you cant find it, let us know what the bootloader was and we will help.
If they do match, shoot me a PM with details about the device, what happened, etc. I can still help, but at that point the info needed cannot be posted here, so it can only be via PM. With a little luck though, all you'll need is the modem.

Thank you for responding but I'm not sure how to get into terminal emulator? I'm sorry if I'm annoying ?
Download a terminal emulator from the play store or use a computer to download the terminal apk and install on the phone, open the terminal app, and type in the getprop command.

Okay so I did the emulator and the baseband version says unknown in the settings but I did get a series of letters and numbers when I put in your command. But nothing matches. What did I do wrong?
For the att s3, use this forum :http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3-att
Got a weird issue.

Recently I bought a S5 on line, and this phone is in a open box condition running android 4.4.2, The IMEI I checked with T-mobile it is clean. But when I plug in, T-mobile said the device is in blacklist. So I used the same method that I fixed S3, I found out that someone has rooted this phone, and NV item of IMEI is programed to a blacklist IMEI, but from device status or *#06#, it still read the original IMEI, do you know how to fix it?
