Currently having this issue with my friends t989d. It happened after a factory wipe and after it booted bad into android before you can even register it, the launcher just hangs and freezes. you can swipe to get to the notification bar but thats it. I flashed a telus image through odin and can boot into android so i can see under the about screen that the imei and baseband is unknown. I've seen this issue on a few other forums but no resolution. Has anyone come back from this before? Could is possibly be a corrupted EFS Folder?
Thanks

Maybe you have to manually flash the telus modem to get it to recognize it. Seems like a radio issue

Ummm... do you mean CM10.2 Alpha1? Because otherwise you're sooooo far back on CM revs it's not worth it (latest stable is 10.1.2).
Either way, make sure you're at UVMC6 baseband/radio -- non-JB radios don't work on CM10+ (JB) -- and you get what your phone is experiencing; no cellular network service (WiFi should be OK).

That's bizarre... you're not even rooted anymore, I take it? Did you do a full factory wipe after going to stock ROM (it's probably redundant, but what the hell)?
There's one other possibility -- it happened on my BlackBerry a few years ago and I got a strange error (dunno if Android gives that sort of error or where) -- basically, I had a bad SIM that still worked (it just couldn't connect, but the phone saw it as a normal SIM). I replaced it, called T-Mo and gave them the new SIM number (you can do it online nowadays) and was back up and running in minutes.
Of course, try pulling out the battery, SIM, and SD card, then put everything back in and power on...

how it worked before I flashed cm10
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.
Hello guys,
This is my first post here so don't be so harsh
Ok, to be quick, i've updated my Note 2 International Version manually with 4.3.
The phone was already rooted before the update, so i did't make an update via Kies. I've done it with ODIN
You can find attached all the details like firmware and so on.
My phone details:
Baseband: N7100XXUEMJ5
Kernel Version: 3.0.31-2099172
Build Number: JSS15J.N7100XXUEML3
After the update, i received the "Emergency call only" error. and i have fixed it by flashing my modem and kernel via RomManager.
But now i have another big problem. I cannot activate Wifi. When i click on it, it doesnt do anything, not even giving me that green sign. NOTHING
I've searched all the forums but nothing seems to be a little bit more specific. Only gibberish.
Can anybody please tell me what to do? (Should i reset to the factory settings? but i really want to keep my data)
Please help!!!

Hi all,
Although i'm new to posting to this forum, i'm reading it for about a year now, but couln't find a topic in which my problem with the Galaxy S4 mini is covered..
I got this phone for about a week now, and overall i like it al lot. I just got i rooted 1 day now because i wanted to put back some apps from my old HTC Desire, and wanted to have root acces anyway.
However i'm experiencing some network drops since i got the phone, which means that i can't call, and internet wont work. When i restart the phone (or switch on/off airplane mode) the problem is solved for a while..but it comes back again now and then..very frustrating cause i feels unreliable. This was also happening a few times before i rooted.
It's probably not due to the sim-card, because i never experienced some problem like this in my old phone with the same sim..
Does anybody know how i could solve this problem ?
Thanx a lot.

Thanks for your reply, but when checking my phone-info it says already 'baseband version I9195XXUBNB3' which is the baseband from the topic i believe..is that the latest one?
Next to that,, I already knoxed it up, cause i flashed CWM yesterday..
I have experienced same thing, tried different official firmwares, also some unofficial tw, and cm roms, happens time to time, usually fix this by selecting my network operator again.

I read on other forums that some other users are experiencing indeed the same problem..for me it happened a couple of times a day in the beginning. Then in my 'sim-menu' app i switched from 'manual sim-selection' to 'automatic sim-selection' .. it looked like this helps a bit, but i recently experienced the network drop again, so the problem is still not gone..
You can regain network again by switching on/off, but if you're phone is in your pocket you don't know if network suddenly got lost, so i think it's a quiet unreliable phone for now..

Yet another thing is:
Get the app "service mode shurtcut" https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kabasoft.util.servicemodeshortcut&hl=de
Go into the "test" menu
and select "telephone information"
then select a different network type (not sure which, just try it)
I believe i'm already at the latest firmware..i updated OTA yesterday before i rooted my device, and i seems that i got the same build as from the latest version from the sammobile website..
I tried the ServiceMode Shortcut, but when trying to open the app it says 'not supported'
Also, when trying to change network-modus, i only can choose : GSM/ WCDMA (automatic) , GSM Only, WCDMA only...there is no 4G option , isn't that strange ?

yeah if you flash cyanogenmod you maybe end up bricking it, but a brick can usually be solved
um... yeah it should work out of the box, maybe the hardware is damaged too!?
If you still consider flashing cyanogenmod one day and wanna stay on a fairly safe site, then use a "stable version" :good:

since you got the network issues since you have the phone,
it's most likely hardware demage
Today i restarted my phone cause at night battery runned low..when booted up i connects with the gsm-network, although data-connection won't start. So i CAN call phone-numbers, but can't browse the internet .. when turning on/off airplane mode it reconnects to the internet-connection again..

And then, which CM rom would you suggest ? 10.2 of 11 ?

I have this same problem with my not-rooted S4 mini [SGHi257M Rogers Canada]. I have had the phone since early December last year. The problem started recently [perhaps a month ago?]. I returned the phone for repair about a week ago. I should have it back within the next week or so. I'll post here when i get it back, especially if it comes back with any useful info.
Here is the thread where two weeks ago i posted the description of the problem ...

Today i restarted my phone cause at night battery runned low..when booted up i connects with the gsm-network, although data-connection won't start. So i CAN call phone-numbers, but can't browse the internet .. when turning on/off airplane mode it reconnects to the internet-connection again..
You mentioned when installing CM i may end up bricking the phone..why is that ? Isn't it just as easy as flashing a new rom via CWM ?
And then, which CM rom would you suggest ? 10.2 of 11 ?

Of course when you'll follow the steps properly it's usually work, no worries! I'd recommend CM11, it also has the newest version of android 4.4.2 :good:

Hey Mdawdy, thanks for your information, it looks like it's indeed like the same problem !
I'm looking forward to hear if the problem still exists when you receive your phone back from repair, and what they say the problem was..
Unfortunately i'm already rooted, so i probably can't send it back to repair because I voided the warranty , or is it still possible somehow ?

Rooting doesn't especially mean that you've KNOX, i think it's only really warranty void if it has KNOX 0x1.
Enter Download mode to see if it has KNOX 0x1 or not (good would be 0x0)
/edit:
also if you live in the EU, i heard that even a knox'ed up device still has warranty

Already checked , and i indeed knox'ed up my device, 0x1 it is, and had to remove 3 KNOX apps from system because i got messages like "attempted to access your system on your device without authorisation" ..
But i live in EU so i might be lucky if you're right..will check on that.
Got one network drop today again. When the phone-battery was emty, i started to charge, then booted the phone...in the 10 minutes after booted up, tried to send a sms but couln't be sended because phone wasn't connected to the network..
Maybe i got something to do with charging the phone at the same time .. ? Just thinking out loud...
Other question..when checking the menu for selecting 2g/3g WDCMA auto..i can't find an option for using 4G ,,however the phone says it should support this. Can only choose from3 options: GSM/WCDMA (auto) , GSM, WCDMA. Is this correct ?

I got my phone back today. On the report it says ...
Complaint
#1[]C56-no service
phone antenna cutting out intermittently
Symptom code C56
Work performed
[202]-Full sw upgrade & phone reset
;sw re-flashed then rebuild to factory default
Repair code 202
I'll see if it happens again or not over the next few days and report back. To me it sounds like they did nothing to the physical components of the phone, just flashed/installed/configured the various software components.

Thanks for your information !
Seems indeed they didn't do a lot you couldnt do yourself ...
What do they mean by 'sw' btw ?
I'm curious if you still get the antenna dropoups from now on..
