Calls,messaging stopped working. - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I have been trying all day to find a solution to this. :crying:
This morning, i started to get just emergency calls only.
It isn't the sim which is working normally.
My IMEI number is 0049999010640000 which I think is maybe not right?
Bluetooth and wi-fi still works perfectly and there are signal strength in my signal indicator. I have tried restoring nandroid backups that were working great before but still have same problem.
In about status phone says,
network is identified,signal strength is good, BUT
Service state ...out of service.
Mobile Network state ...Disconnected
My phone number....Unknown
I have tried installing stock roms with pc odin to no avail.
Everything was working just two days ago, but I have flashed a few roms trying latest updates.
I have no EFS backup, (which might be something I do need?)
Is there any hope for my beloved Note 2?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Download mode, Twrp etc all still working.
Thanks:crying:

So your sim still works fine in another phone?

Nothing you can do you want an efs backup to get it working again

Lost Data completely after Rooting/Flashing

I rooted and flashed my phone and everything worked great but my data package stopped working Completly. I restored the phone back to stock ROM using Odin but still no data (wifi still works). I checked my IMEI number and it appears fine.
The instructions i followed to root the phone was the one where you do not tripp the flash counter, and I backed up IMEI using the NV reader, and the ROM i installed was the Sonic Rom. The only thing I think I could have done wrong is when I went to use the NV reader I accidentally started backing up the entire array of numbers and I canceled the operation midway through. I then just backed up just the IMEI and installed the ROM.
Is it possible I corrupted something when I hit cancel? And please does anyone know how I can get my data working? I was on the phone with tmobile for over an hour today and they were zero help.
thanks.

Exact same thing happened to me..I used PeopleArmy's method and tried re-injecting the correct IMEI back into the phone for a couple hours, then suddenly, my data started working again out of nowhere. Really weird, but it fixed my issue..good luck to you!

Thanks for the reply. did you use PeopleArmy method to recover a lost IMEI number? My issue is a little different. I still have IMEI numbers but I have no data signal working on the phone at all.
I did not get many many replies, maybe my original post was hard to understand...
My H+ and 3G indicator lights blink as if they are working but my phone is completly unable to use any data services. WiFi works, Cellular Voice works but no data.
When I first got the phone everything worked great but after I rooted and flashed it started showing a screen on my browser indicating that my data plan was not compatible with my handset. Tmobile could not help,since I have the correct data plan, my previous phone is the awesome HD2. Please let me know what I can do to fix the phone.

No service after reflashing to stock [Solved]

Had my nexus rooted since day 1 and never had any issues. Lately i've been trying to use Barclay's Pingit app which doesn't work on rooted devices. So i reflashed to stock through the galaxy nexus toolkit. I did get service on the stock rom, but i've since tried a nandroid restore of my CM10 and it appears to have screwed something up. First off, the restore completed in 4 seconds, so it obviously didn't work. I'm using TWRP if that makes any difference.
So i tried a wipe and flash other roms, but still no service. Even after going back to stock, still no service. I'm assuming the botched nandroid restore has possibly damaged my radio somehow? I did try to flash another radio, and it flashes ok, but still no service.
APN settings are fine. All i get though when i try to connect to a network is "Can't connect to this network at the moment, please try again later".
I'm on 3 UK. Tried connecting to other networks, but still the same issue
Just tried flashing a new radio through fastboot, flashes fine and shows up in baseband version, but still no service...
Have you tried getril app? If your radio interface layer doesn't match it can fix it.

Yeah i tried it earlier, no luck.
Just tried again to make sure, still nothing
I have had some bad flashes with twrp. If I were you I would try cwm and then flash a new ROM.

Op, do you still have your imei? Try another simcard have you?
Sent from my i9250
Yeah i've tried several new rom flashes through CWM.
@bk201doesntexist - Yeah the phone has an IMEI in the status menu. I'm wondering if it's blocked since my provider accidentally cancelled my contract a few months ago, and i didn't say a word
Scrap that actually, apparently Three UK can't block IMEI's for some reason...
Funnily enough, i tried a sim card from another carrier and not only did it not connect to any network, but now when i go to search networks it just says "Error while searching for networks".
Edit - Called my network provider, they said my IMEI was wrong. At the minute it starts with 0049, which it shouldn't apparently. I dunno how this got changed in the first place.
Ok, so i've looked into the imei 0049 issue and it's starting to make sense. I looked in the /factory folder and it's empty, well apart from lost+found but it's empty. I assume the only option is to send it off for repairs? I do still have a nandroid backup on my computer and it has efs.ext4.win on there. Gonna give that a shot.
Edit 2 - Ok so I updated TWRP as my version was 2.2. Attempted the nandroid restore again and success! Got my voice and data back!
Thanks for the suggestions, its been a stressful day and hope this can help somebody else in a similar position
Yeah i forgot mentioning the fake imei thing. I was thinking about the /factory partition being null, thats why i spoke of imei.
Please edit the thread title to include tag [SOLVED]. Thanks.

no signal after flashing rom

i have a samsung galaxy s3, ive been rooted for a long time and flashing roms all the time. well i flashed a rom just now and i have no signal, not sure if i burned out the radio (not sure if thats possible, but it also said to insert sim card while it was already inserted), but i dont understand how that would happen. the sim card works in another phone that im using now, so its not the sim card thats causing the issue. my carrier is at&t, and no signal showing, not data or cell (wifi still works, but thats a different story). has anyone experienced this and know how to fix it? im guessing modem flashing, but not entirely sure. can someone please point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance!

just a suggestion, but try rebooting your phone again. this happened to me before and i got freaked out but a reboot has fixed this on a few occasions. running a flashed rom just fine right now.

I believe you need to do a factory reset. Backup your data first!

The first thing to troubleshoot you should do is flash back to a rooted stock rom and make sure the data is working there. If so this will rule out any sort of hardware problem. You didn't say whether or not you did but you can also try fully wiping the phone (dalvik/cache, system, and data), re-download the rom incase you had a bad one the first time and reflash. Other than that check that maybe check the apn settings.
Yup I ended up doing that last night..im back on the stock root injected rom. So im still rooted and network now works! So im glad. How would I flash a rom without losing the network this time?

Now that you have flashed back to stock a full wipe has been done in the process. At this point all you can do is flash it and see, but as i said i would redownload if you plan on using whatever rom it was you mentioned in the OP. I would also do a full nandroid backup to save the pain of using odin incase it doesn't work. I imagine the problem was with lingering files/fragments from multiple flashes that were causing the problem, in any case whatever the problem happened to be it was software related.
K will do. Its just weird because the md5 matched and everything..but I will for sure download the rom and gapps again. Thanks for the tips!

well, i finally got the service to work after flashing a rom. it still remains a mystery to me tho, i used to always use the illusion rom everyday, for months. i decide to flash the same exact one but no service, i download it a couple more times and still no service after flashing about 3 or 4 times. i tried a completely different rom and the service is active. i dont understand why and cant figure out what is so different this time hah. o well, im just glad its all working now even though its with a different rom. thanks for the help guys!
ok, im back =[
i was using the carbon rom with no problems, it was working great, but just a half hour ago i was listening to music and texting (i always do this), and then phone just turned off. I tried to reboot it but it wont! it always shuts off while booting. i made it to CWM, but it turns off while in CWM. i also made it to download mode, which led me to assume that the phone is not bricked, but it doesnt stay on download mode, it just turns off randomly. i figured maybe it was battery, so i tried another, and no change! does anyone know what the issue is? i cant figure out how to keep the phone ON, or why its not staying on.
btw, i got it to boot completely just once, and it was acting up still. any ideas? please help
Thanks in advance

What is the bootloader and baseband version on the phone? Which version of stock are you flashing?

[Q] (RESOLVED) Slow 3G since installing Cyanogenmod

Hello,
I've just got a Nexus from my father.
Unlock and rooting are OK.
I've made a backup of my stock rom
Then I've installed a cynogenmod 4.4 and see that my 3G download speed is very slow (arround 5Ko/s)
Then I've returned back to my stock rom -> same issue.
I'm in France using Free Mobile (which is using roaming)
Please help me!
EDIT: RESOLVED
I've tryed a new SIM Card and the speed is OK.
Next I used my old sim card, the speed is OK too.
Strange...
I really need help because I am unable to get a good 3G connection.
Have reinstalled the last radio -> nothing
Have reconfigured APN -> nothing better
Really need help, take 1h to dl 20Mo
EDIt: The signal is full
Someone could help me ?
I've found that the issue happens only when I'm in roaming.
If I am connected directly to my provider antenna, no issue.

Its probably just an issue with your operator, the ROM most likely doesn't have to do anything with it, especially as you said if you flashed the stock radio.

Sorry but no, like I said, it worked before the flash, and now, it is not working anymore.
In same time, it works really well with my 2nd phone, with the same sim card.

no H+, H, E or anything showing when data is on

Data works fine, there's internet connection available but there's just no icon showing the status of my data connection, is there a fix for this ? I have the h815 on V10e-eur
Is your phone rooted?
Did you install a firewall like avast?
I use the avast firewall in whitelist mode and had the same problem.
I had to allow a group of apps at the end of the apps list to make it work again.

yes it's rooted and no there's no firewall
ok.
so I guess it worked some time ago, but then stopped working suddenly?
You can try a system reset, but you will loose your data and settings, so backup everything.
An other mehtod could be to flash a kdz to unroot your phone and try if it works again.
Or did you install an adblocker? I am using adaway, but have no problems with the icon.
I did all the things you mentioned, it didn't work since I bought the phone 4 days ago, I rooted and installed twrp, then flashed another kdz with latest version and still the same problem, no adblocker nothing, it didn't work with a fresh updated kdz
If you say that it didn't work right after you bought it, I would not have rooted the phone, but give it back and get another one.
Can you try a different SIM card from a different provider?

This happened to me after I left an area with no signal. I rebooted and not had the problem since for 2 weeks I'd guess.

tried another sim from another provider and it works fine and the data icon shows , thanks for your help the issue if not from the phone it's from my sim
Ok, good.
So you know your phone is not the problem.
But it's strange that your SIM card seems to be the problem...
Maybe you should ask your provider about this problem or try your SIM in a different phone.
