[Q] Error while searching for networks while running Custom ROM - Desire General

Hi people, currently I am running http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1355660 ICS ROM but I cannot connect to my mobile network. In the last few days I unlocked my phone while running this ROM and I entered in the code I was given. The unlock was successful however I could not get onto my mobile network 3. When I went into settings > Mobile network settings > Network Operators I received the message "Error while searching for networks". I tested it with another SIM card and I got the same result. Then I tried reflashing the ROM and using a different ROM, the 4.1 Jelly Bean by Nikez. The result was the same. Another thing I noticed was that each time I restarted the phone it would ask for the unlock code again and each time I entered it the phone would say "successful", but obviously something has gone completely wrong. Also note I have Data Enabled and my Wifi/Bluetooth is completely fine. Can anyone help me on what has gone wrong? Thanks

Bump, would appreciate some help please

Come on guys, I really need some help and this is really urgent! Otherwise I am basically wasting away my contract...

Ok, what do I do with the file once I put it onto my SD card? Also will this fix the 3G problem?

You don't put it on your sd card. Extract it to your desktop, connect your phone and run it.

Does it work on Gingerbread ROM's ?

It works best on GB roms.

[Q] Flashed my phone with 3.4.2-177 Nordic Blurless but..

I can't seem to connect to my phone service. I'm assuming that this was caused by me neglecting to read every single tutorial I could get by hands on, but could someone help me out here? I tried restoring a backup to no avail as well. If anyone could help me out, that would be much, much appreciated.
reflash a full sbf, that worked for me when i had a problem with this sbf

Hmm, connected to my old service but my phone says I'm roaming. :S
Damn, the Motoblur screen just keeps freezing and starting the animation over again :/ Any help?
EDIT: Okay, it doesn't do that anymore, but I'm still told I'm roaming and I can't seem to access my service provider (the way I want to, at least).
I am not sure why this would happen, *unless* the frequencies used by your provider are not included in the flashed rom, *and* are used by some other provider who allows roaming related to your network.
When I flashed a while back, I ran into a problem where some frequencies were not being used (850MHz specifically in my case). I copied the contents of \system\etc\motorola\bp_nvm_default from the old phone to the new phone and it sorted it out.
Might want to try this.

Thanks! This solved my problem!
....but now my SD Card isn't being detected, and it's telling me that my SD card is safe to remove every time I try to mount it.

[Q] CM 7.1 GSM FXP028a: keeps asking for network unlock pin

This is probably a stupid question, but I can't find the answer. I did the following to get CM 7.1 FXP028a running on my R800i GSM:
Flashed official 4.0.A.2.0.368 ROM with flashtool (wiped all data)
Renamed update-cm-7.1.0-RC1-XperiaPlay-R800i-KANG-signed.zip to update.zip and copied to SD card
Flashed new kernel: fastboot flash boot boot.img
Entered recovery and applied update.zip from SD card
Wiped data and cache
Reboot device
Everything seems to be working fine except that it keeps asking for a network unlock pin. Does anyone know how to fix this? I'm back at the official 4.0.A.2.0.368, because it would be handy to be able to use it as a phone (as much as I like SNESoid combined with the gamepad).
I've actually encountered the same thing before.
Have you flashed googleapps after booting the first time?
(when it asks for a service pin or similar, just cancel that one)
Click on "Discard" and ignore it.
Haven't installed googleapps, will try. Simply ignoring means I can't call.

I have CM7 28a in R800i just like you. The prompt appears in my phone too, and I bought it Sim unlocked. And of course, I can call, receive calls and use 3g
I've got a similar error. my SIM card when I insert, I will always ask for the code that is supposedly wrong. disable a cell phone I need the other pin. until I get to my menu r800i GSM. then sometimes when I'm in, I get no data connection (it saves automatically or manually my network operator.
Finally had time to test again and since FXP041 is available I tried that one. Works like a charm! No issues with network pins and feels very snappy.
FYI.
I'm newbie,
But i've unlocked bootloader using this method ' http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12873655&postcount=1 '
Rooted using this method ' http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1312859&highlight=root '
And INSTALLING CYANOGEN MOD using this method ' http://www.xperiagamer.com/Beginners-Guides/loading-custom-roms.html '
after all i've done , nothing odd happen,
then i realise when my phone reboot it show (No Servis) i did insert my SIM CARD.
means no network isn't??
anyone can help me?
EDIT *
Because no one's concern about this.
I just figure it out.

Getting no service after boot. Please help!

I was running ICS 4.0.4 stock rom on my Koodo SGH-T989D. I used Darkside super wipe and then flashed Ginerbread 2.3.5 using Odin. To my knowledge, Koodo never ran gingerbread on this model so I had to use the Telus version. But since they are both T989Ds I didn't think there would be an issue.
My issue now is after I turn on my phone, it takes about 3 minutes before it finds my network. Normally it's within seconds that it finds my Koodo network. I'm just wondering what the issue might be. Is it kernel related? I've tried flashing different radios, but that didn't work. I've done a factory reset, and flashed again using Odin. My data wasn't working as well, but I fixed that by manually entering in Koodo's data settings.
So any ideas what I can do? Or did I make a mistake trying to flash a Telus rom on a Koodo phone in the first place? Obviously I'm just learning my way around here, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Is it reading your sim card?

This is probably a stupid question, but how would I know whether it's reading my SIM?
I know after a few minutes it finally finds the Koodo signal and I have service.

It should show a sim card icon in status bar if its not reading or say no sim card on lockscreen. Otherwise it's working. 1.Try taking it out of phone and putting it back reboot see if its works after reboot. 2. If that doesn't work try another sim if you have it sometimes the cards get messed up flashing but rarely.
3. Dial *2767*3855# in the dialer for full factory format/reset. See if any of this helps you out.

It's very weird. It does recognize my SIM because when I take it out, a pop up comes up saying no sim and to reboot. I spent last night trying to get rid of the problem by flashing different roms, and seeing if there was any different. I flashed a CM10, my stock ICS 4.0.4, and the gingerbread rom. Some I flashed through ODIN, other through TWRP. After a bunch of different tries in no order, it finally got back to have service available immediately. But I went to do just a normal factory reset after I flashed the rom, and it lost service at the beginning of my boot again.
Any idea why a factory reset would affect that?
also, any idea why even after a few minutes when my service comes on, my data is still not available. I need to go to setting and enter in sp.koodo in the settings. Any ideas?

[Q] Insert Sim to Access Network Service.. IMEI Null

Hey Guys,
I have an AT&T Model SGH-1317 Note 2. For use on other networks, I unlocked the phone using the *#197328640# menu option. However, the phone failed to start the hot spot stating Mobile data was unavailable or Invalid Sim. However, I am able to tether perfectly using the same sim on an another S3 so I was sure its nothing to do with the sim or network operator settings.
I looked up and found XDA website with tons of information. I assumed my phone was locked by AT&T. Hence, I rooted the phone using CF-Auto-Root, backed up complete data using Titanium and using Rom Manager I installed the Crash Aroma 4.1.2 Rom. I wiped the data and cache 3 times as suggested. However, after the boot I am unable to connect to any mobile network. A Click on Mobile Network says "Insert Sim Card to Access Network Services". Dialling for IMEI number prompt a Null.
During Installation I noticed the Crash ROM has overwritten the Radio.. and I am assuming this is were the problem lies. but I leave it you experts.. Request Help!
Sunil.

Am currently on Du - A network in Dubai, UAE. I have been reading more forum information and some suggest that this may be related to the EFS folder getting corrupted which may cause the IMEI number to fail. Some suggest that there are software to rebuild this information by using the IMEI number behind the handset..
I also noted that my phone model has also changed to GT-7100 instead of SGH-1317, Wonder if the Crash ROM was apt?
Would you suggest installing a Jedi Rom specifically built for SGH-1317... or is the damage already done?
Back Online
Since I found no replies.. I had no choice but to give it to the Pros.. I handed my phone day to one of the Unlocking experts at a mobile store… He was confident that his technicians would resolve this. But after 2 Days, they have given up.. He suggested the phone would fetch me US$ 10 if someone used it as a demo unit at a mobile shop..
I was sure this was something to do with the Modem, IMEI and the all important NV folder. I was able to find a Stock ROM for the SGH-1317 and I also found a link at XDA about using EFS pro to change the IMEI.
Using Odin software, I flashed the phone with the stock rom. Unfortunately, there was one error when it tried to communicated on com1. Having no choice, I continued. Restarting got the AT&T style boot but it again froze on the Samsung screen. Dreading the communication error, I restarted several times with no results. Finally I realised if would be due to the cache and user data. I reset the phone to factor settings wiping out the user data and Whola.. The phone sprang back up..
Lessons learnt.. Backup your rom and data before playing with custom roms. Read Read Read and don’t flash in the middle of the night..
Since I am back online, I plan to stick to the stock and crappy 4.1.1 with all the AT&T dead weight. Will live without the ability to Tether until my fingers get warmer.. It won’t be long as I am already bit by the Custom Rom Devil..
Don't Give Up Easy..:good::victory:

Please I am having the very exact same issue and can't seem to have it fixed
Using CMW I also flashed it back to stock rom, didnt have any problem or errors doing it but im still getting No SIM Inserted. I have deleted cache and user data several times... Tried flashing CM10 and CrashRom see if they made a difference and still No Sim Inserted... tried 3 different kernels and still same issue
I have the exact same problem since yesterday. I've tried everything and anything to no avail. I'm very close to returning the phone.
I would really appreciate any input.
Same issue
I flashed crash rom 4.5, over the stock kernel and it gave me that same message. I've tried everything I could think of, which included everything in this thread to no avail... any further advice would be greatly appreciated.

Your username suggests that you have the N7100 device ??
If so. ..you are in the wrong place for support. ..As this is the SGH-I317 section.
If you are showing IMEI NULL with no baseband you may have to restore your backup image to correct the problem. .
If no backup image exists. ..you will need to flash a factory N7100 image from your section.
Look for the return to stock thread for your specific device and that should fix you up...
The CF AUTO ROOT files are device specific. ..so I hope you haven't damaged the partitions.
Good luck. ..g
Edit:
This will help. ..and will place you in the right section. ..
Just go to page 1...good
