Emergency Calls Only...

Hi,
last night this problem just came out of nowhere. I was texting and calling fine like hour before I noticed it happen, but whenever I try to call it hangs up, and whenever I try to text it tells me to try again when service is available. On the lock screen it tells me "Emergency Calls Only", but sometimes it shows "Virgin" I'm with Virgin Mobile Canada, but still doesn't work. I've tried the following:
1. Pulling out battery and putting it back in.
2. Nandroid restore to when I first rooted it, and when it was working fine.
3. Take out SIM card, battery, and memory stick
4. Putting it into airplane mode and disabling airplane mode about 30 seconds later.
5. Unrooted to original Bell Stock Rom image from a thread and now have normal recovery
6.Data/factory reset
The only thing I do have a possible lead on is that yesterday I created a recovery tar file, from a recovery image I got from cwm website under AT&T, thought it was also for Bell (Model wise) as well, so don't know if that's the case, does that have to do with anything? I'm back to stock recovery and rom and from a thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426 and downloaded the Bell/Virgin image, and flashed with Odin, I am back to stock, but still did not fix issue. It says Virgin on the top sometimes, and sometimes back to "Emergency calls only" could the recovery flash have changed radio or something? I also did do a restore before I flashed the new recovery and when phone was being normal just before unrooting but that also didn't work. Now I am unrooted and not on custom recovery. But still no service. Most of the time the service is 1 bar, but even when it's on 5 for like 10 seconds, it still doesn't work. Is it me or my carrier? I also noticed that even when the signal shows full strength it tells me "Emergency Calls Only". Thanks for the help.

I'd call Virgin and ask if your service was interrupted for any reason.

Yeah I'm going to do that, but I just looked at the IMEI number on the back of the phone, and looked at it in settings, but it did not match the number it had at the back. It just says 0 in the phone settings. Does that have anything to do with it? I wanna know if this is has anything to do with that first before calling.
EDIT: Okay so I did some research and yes that is apparently the problem, so I rerooted to custom recovery, and followed this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1801997 my IMEI is back, and matches, and it says "Virgin" now at the top of my lockscreen, but still, I can't send messages or call. Did the deleting of IMEI also delete something else I should restore? Or is it something on their side? I am connected to Virgin Mobile, but the connection is extremely weak, and does not complete any calls or texts. There's also "IMEI SV" under settings and it says "01" is that an issue?
EDIT 2: Nevermind I just had to follow post 3 after fixing IMEI in that thread I linked and it worked! In case you researched and got here. Follow thread I linked up.

The thread was remove to avoid illegal problem. You'll most likely have to look somewhere else to recover your IMEI if flashing stock firmware doesn't fix it.

[Q] Sprint Galaxy Nexus; signal/3G issues

Sprint Galaxy Nexus
4.2.1
Not rooted
I performed a factory reset on my phone yesterday due to it bogging down and being rather slow. I never did a reset after getting the 4.2.1 update so I figured it was a good time. I woke up this morning, putzed around the house, and setup Tasker again. I laid my phone down for ten minutes while I got ready for work. Whenever I tried to wake my phone and nothing happened. I tried a few more times and the screen would not wake up. I pulled the battery, hard reset, reinserted battery and the phone wouldn't turn on. Then, I wiped the contact terminals (on the battery and the phone) and reinserted the battery and the phone booted up. However, since then I have had some major problems.
1. Power button does not always work properly. I have to press it several times to sleep or wake the phone. (Okay, not major, just inconvenient and probably unrelated to the issues below)
2. No data connection whatsoever.
3. In the data usage menu, there is no longer a data toggle switch.
4. Under the Network Mode option, LTE/CDMA produces absolutely no cell signal whatsoever. I have to switch to CDMA only. (WiFi works fine)
5. Toggling airplane mode, as some have suggested, does not cause the phone to connect to mobile data. Another factory reset did not restore mobile data. Rebooting did not restore mobile data.
6. All of these problems are true before and after factory reset. No new problems were created and nothing was exacerbated as a result of performing a factory reset.
I've been from one end of the internet to another looking for solutions to this problem and I have found that many are having a similar issue but toggling airplane mode or rebooting fixes it. Not the case for me. Most also seem to be having this problem after rooting. Again, not the case for me.
Any suggestions? I would prefer to not return the phone. Purchased from Radioshack and the 30-day warranty has expired. This is my second gnex already, as the first one's charging port broke. It took over a week to get this one from another store which graciously shipped it in to my store. There's also the issue of being broke and not really being able to afford another $30 activation fee on top of the deductible for a new phone.

Why not try reflashing the stock image and updating again to 4.2.1?

Not at all. You'd use Odin . Myself I have very spotty sprint signal in my home. Spoke to a corporate executive and they mailed me an AirRave free . Never have less then full bars 3g all around home. You should a- flash to stock using Odin following posts in sprint sextjon . b - call up and try to get an airavana.

Excellent. I will give it a shot at some point today or tomorrow and then let you know how it worked out. Thanks!

So, I restored the phone to stock. Signal is still non-existent on LTE/CDMA mode. Cannot perform Profile or PRL updates. Still no mobile data. I'm guessing hardware failure?
Also, on setup it asks for a SIM card. And at the bottom of the drop-down menu, it says "No SIM card|Sprint" or "No SIM card|No Service" depending on if I am in CDMA or LTE/CDMA.
Also, in the Status menu:
My phone number
Unknown
MIN
Unknown
PRL Version
Unknown
ICCID
Unknown
Seems a little odd to me.
Attempted fully rooting and flashing radios. No luck there either. It's also not wanting to update. Tells me my phone is up-to-date (connected via WiFi). Downloading Cyanogen now to see if it will work in the morning.

And while attempting to flash a new ROM, got the famous "can't copy anything to the device ever, under any circumstances" error.

Update: Got CM10 installed. Still "No SIM" error, no 3G, no data, no LTE. Found some more information on this No SIM error. Apparently a few others have had this same problem and in the end had to get a new phone.
Anyone know anything?

You should a- flash to stock using Odin following posts in sprint sextjon

I've been back to stock twice now. The first thing I did was flash to stock. Then I played around a bit and now I'm back to stock again.
Is there a difference between using Odin and Nexus Root Toolkit to return to stock?

Bump

Wow, one day and my thread is buried!
After battling for about a day, I got updated to JB 4.2.1, I can do profile and PRL updates again, but there is still no 3G/mobile data, and I still have zero bars on LTE/CDMA and have to use just CDMA. I am currently stock but the bootloader is unlocked, no root.
If anyone has heard any solution, please help. Also, if there's a difference between flashing to stock with Odin vs NRT, please say so.

Try fastboot flashing your LTE and CDMA radios again. As far as I know, fastboot commands do NOT require root. I had a similar issue.
Edit: link to post with directions http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39446679
Sent from my R2-D2 unit on the far side of the moon

Indeed, fastboot does not require root. I've flashed my radios several times now in various different ways. I even flashed different versions. I attempted again but with no luck. I have normal service when using CDMA but nothing on LTE/CDMA. Still no data, still "No SIM card" error.
Pretty sure I'll have to get it replaced. I've gone from stock JB back to stock ICS, rooted, CM10, back to stock ICS, rooted, back to stock JB unrooted, and flashed three different radios. I'm surprised I haven't managed to brick it yet.

UPDATE: Sprint is sending me a new phone, for free.

And finally you have paranoidandroid or back again in the previous rom? With a little search in the forum i found this "Hey...I found out why I didn't have service and was able to fix it. When I had flashed AOKP, there is a setting in the Mobile Networks screen to change the CDMA subscription to RUIM/SIM. Somehow (probably playing around) I changed it from the NV to RUIM/SIM. THEN, I nandroided back to stock, and had no service. As far as I know, that CDMA Subscription option isn't on the STOCK ROM...so I was baffled. Good thing I remembered what I did."
Try it and report..!

i'd recommend that you flashed again your previous rom to see if it is rom related or not. I ve read somewhere that some people had problems with the signal when flashing aokp.

i going to take it to the samsung cc....... lets see what they will say about this problem

I am suffering a very similar and strange problem. I have a Dmc3 deodexed and rooted Rom with NEDLK1 baseband (3 ITA operator) since 3 months. I have done nothing special (no new apps nor flashes) in the latest weeeks. I have never flashed any other ROM. But 2 days ago I saw NO service. I have correct imei, could even surf the web but no telephone functions. Rebooting the phone did not work.
I thought of a SIM card issue and yesterday I asked my operator for a new sim. While I was waiting the new sim to be enabled, today I pushed in my Note 2 another SIM by another operator. After some hours I had the same trouble with this SIM.
So the problem is the Telephon. I don't know if hw or sw, but there is an issue.
Now to see what may be, first I changed the baseband Modem and flashed a stock XXDLK7 and inserted the new Sim inside. Now I will wait and see.
In case of continuing issue, I will try and go back to full stock operations.

Hello guys. I had the same problem, and it was a hardware problem. The solution is really simple: put onto the left of the camera, inside the chassis, a small piece of papero of 3 mm. It's enough to strenght the connections of the flat of the SIM card connectors to the motherboard

[Q] Mobile data suddenly dropped

I'm running CM-10.1.3 (stable) on my phone (T999) with the UVMD5 modem and last night I lost all signal for about 30mins. I rebooted a few times and toggled air plane mode on and off without any success. Eventually, I got signal again but no data. I can send and receive calls and SMS but I have no data connection (can't browse, no email notifications, etc.). I have tried all the options under the Network Mode settings without any success. Occasionally, I'll see the "E" sign for Edge/2G but there is no data available even then. I also tried updating the modem to UEMJ4 and UEMJC but observed no changes. WiFi works just fine. Could this be a hardware issue? Is the antenna somehow damaged? Is there anything else I could try?

Try another Kernel. If that does not help, Odin flash to Stock. If that too doesn't work then suspect tower issue.
Hardware is a possibility. But lets not get ahead of ourselves

Thanks, I'll give that a shot and report what I find. I doubt that it's tower related since I'm having the same issue at home and at work and my roommate, who has an original Galaxy and is also on Tmobile, is not having any problems.

I flashed stock JB 4.1.2 (UVDMD5) using Odin since I had it laying around and I'm still seeing the same issue. What else can I try?

Check your APNs. Those are under Settings > Advanced > Network. Its called Access Point Names. It should be set to epc.t-mobile.com. See this thread for details.
Try UVDLJC or the prior version to MD5. If that too does not help then take to T-mo for antenna Repair.

Check your IMEI number. If it is zeroed out PM me. Otherwise just let us know here, (but don't actually post it).

The IMEI is 0. I never backed up the EFS folder but I was able to get the number from tmobile.

I have been having the same issue since June 2013 after doing to 4.1.2 OTA update from T-Mobile, at the time I didn't realize the IMEI was listed as unknown. So for months I have not gotten a cellular data connection better than Edge. Also after that update trying to check for a software update on the phone resulted in an error, and Kies told me my firmware was not supported for upgrade. Looking in some support forums and talking to T-Mobile got me nowhere, so I have just been dealing with it.
Wanting to upgrade I recently used Odin to load the official T-Mobile 4.3 ROM on the phone, actually hoping that would fix my issue (still in the dark about IMEI) which it did not.
I had never backed up the EFS folder, since as a standard user I had no idea what it was and while performing an update from my provider I didn't realize anything would need to be backed up outside of Kies. Now that my warranty is expired and having to take matters into my own hands I am on a quest to find a fix, however I don't want to "brick" my phone in the process, at this point I know enough to be dangerous.
Currently;
Android 4.3 Official T-Mobile ROM
BASEBAND is good T999UVUEMJC
Kernel 3.0.31-1962493
IMEI is Unknown
Looking at some other posts here at xda-developers I tried to follow some instructions on repairing or restoring IMEI using NV reader/writer, however I cannot get NV reader/writer to connect to my phone.
I have noticed in 4.3 when using *#7284# in the dialer the QualComm settings are no longer present, only MODEM and PDA are available.
I have poked around in Service Mode *#197328640# and found a setting that I thought might help, but I have a feeling it is the same thing as 8#7284#
[1] UTMS > [6] COMMON > [4] DIAG CONFIG > [1] USB or [2] UART
So at this point I don't know how to proceed, again I am not thrilled about loading a custom ROM, or really any ROM for fear of making the issue worse or bricking the phone. I have read a lot of posts about no longer being able to make calls due to IMEI issues. Everything works right now except cellular Data.

T999L issues

so i bought a T999l a few weeks ago had it unlocked, rooted and activated with my existing t-mobile account. For some reason my 4G never worked with them and after several calls they said because my phone was modified they couldn't help me basically. I started with some of the roms from this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2308514 but ended up going back to stock or prob trying to go back to stock because it still says its modified in status of phone. so i was back to 4.1.2 with uvamb7 kernel. I ended up trying sim cards from different carriers and found out that 4g works with at&t sim cards. so the other day i joined aio and finally had 4glte for the first time on this phone. As the days go by though i started noticing it wasnt keeping 4g or 4g lte when i was moving around. As a matter of fact i have to force it to go 4g or lte by either restarting and getting lucky or by using *#2263# and switching sometimes several times from only lte and gsm to automatic or all lte basebands (which gives me lte but i cant make calls or receive calls apparently) and then switching to automatic. Basically if i get lucky and its getting 4glte on automatic it will be fine until i move to a area where there is no lte then its gone until i force it to go lte again even if i get into a area that has lte/4g. Its like its not automatically detecting its in a 4g/lte area, it just stays on edge until i force it. I then tried the 4.3 rom at this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48399478. I sort of got it working but i think i might have been using the wrong kernel because whenever i restart the phone it doesnt load past the galaxy sIII splash screen. If i dont restart however it works but same issue i have to force it to detect when its in a 4g or lte area. So since that wasn't working too well i went back to the stock 4.1.2 setup. So im thinking is this an issue with my antenna or something? I'm still learning this phone so any input would be appreciated. Thanks in advance

If your had updated to stock 4.3 and if the latest version from Samsung contains KNOX in t999l variant, follow this step !
reboot into recovery mode and clear the cache and restart the phone! this should work..!

i found a t-moblile 4.3 firmware update last night and flashed it using odin. Seems like its not rooted anymore since i'm getting the stock recovery now. I assume wipe cache partition is the same thing right? so i did that and restarted the phone. 4g lte came right up. I make a call and it drops to 4g which is fine considering before it would drop all my data during a call. Here is the thing though after the call it shows full 4g for a couple seconds then no bars, nothing. No data no network and it will consistently do this . im starting to think this phone is possessed

Stop flashing stuff. Odin to stock (4.3 if you have ever flashed 4.3 via odin, 4.1.2 otherwise) and bring it in.
Also, make sure you use the right firmware, or you will hard brick. If you have never flashed 4.3 via Odin, use MB7. If you have flashed 4.3 via Odin, use MK4.
No amount of flashing random stuff will fix your nv data.

I did flash MK4 and i bought this phone off ebay. I don't have a warranty with it. Where exactly am i bringing it in to?

If you have the t999L it has warranty... Hasn't been out long enough for warranty to run out
Bring it in to your carrier (tmo?) And have them reprovision it. It sounds like bad nv data, and unless you have a good backup, the carrier is the only one that can fix that.

I have the same problem, I paid 15 dollars to the unlockpros.com to remotely unlock my T999L. they did unlock it but now 4g data in t mobile is gone, it freeces, on aTT I get 4G but it goes on and off.
I spoke to them and they tried to fix it remotely, the 4g finally appeared again on t mobile network but then after restart same problem again, no 4G data on t mobile,
does anyone has a full NV data backup that I can use to restore?
will a NV backup from another gallaxy 3 work on mines??
hope someone can help.

Don't use anyone else's nv data, major problems if they turn their phone on ever, and legal issues.
Just Odin the root66 mb7 full restore. That will put you to 100% stock, but with root. You can then use triangle a way to reset the flash counter and modified status, then bring it in to tmo. Make sure to tell them not to update you, or you are stuck with the new bootloader. They might update you anyway "for your convenience", just FYI.

Anybody ever have issues with apps? I first had an issue with the stock messages app not allowing me to send out texts to a single person. Been having this issue for about 2 months. Have been in touch with T-Mobile repeatedly and they reset the signals and everything each time to no avail. Last rep I spoke with said to bring it in to a T-Mo store and get them to change out the SIM (in case that was the issue) and get them to do a back-up & reset. That too did not help. Eventually I downloaded the Google Messaging app and through that I'm able to send out normal person to person texts again but not through the stock app.
I've also got issues with apps having updated versions yet the updates aren't available in Google Play Store for me to download. For example, on June 27th, NCP Mobile came out with version 1.8, but it's still not showing. I've been in touch with the National Consumer Panel, and they say as long as I'm running Android 4.0 or higher (actually running 4.3, rooted- stock ROM) I should see the update available.
I've also been experiencing issues with Perk apps (namely Perk Browser and Perk Search & Win) not allowing me to sign in via Facebook or with email and password. Password reset links almost never get sent. The 2 times they did finally send me a reset link it directs me to the Perk homepage also on which I cannot sign in. I'm in touch with them regarding these issues too.
The last app (as of right now) that I am experiencing problems with is CSI: Crime Scene. The app doesn't allow me to connect to facebook to play with friends like I do when I'm on facebook.
