My vibrator died. I even did a factory restore but that didn't help.
Any ideas I don't think phone is under warranty any longer.

Try using Kies and doing an emergency firmware update. It will ask you to input a model number. For AT&T it is SGH-I747 with caps and everything exactly as I wrote it. See if that helps your issue first.

This may or man not help, but my Captivate would sometimes do this with certain updates. I even thought about trying to replace the motor the first time and then after I updated to a different rom it was back again. Or maybe it was just a re-install. Either way, it did come back and I think it happened again once or twice as I tried lots of roms on that phone.

Just got a epic touch off of eBay. When I got the phone it had a few bars but never showed any data status. Now all I get is the circle with a slash through it. Any help would be appreciated

i see this is your first post..welcome to the boards...
but do a search before posting. there are at LEAST 5-10 active threads about this already that you would have found by just looking in the general or q&a session!
but yes anytime it happens just reboot the phone
I don't think this is LOS. I cant get the phone activated because it will not aquire a signal. I have rebooted pulled battery and flashed the samsung stock recovery through odin.
Call CS and have them update over the air

So that will give me a signal again. I don't understand

Check esn and see if it clean. Is the phone still active on the account.

The esn is clean I checked it several times. Where can I find the modem file so I can flash. It has been 3 days still no signal. Sprint won't help because its not active do no insurance.

The modem files, if you want them, are in the development thread. There's a few. You'll probably want the newer EG31 modem that is now up.

Just loaded the modem files through odin. Still no signal at all. When I go into phone info under prl it shows default. Could this be my problem. Should I send it in to Samsung for warranty replacement even though I'm not the original purchaser

It's probably not your problem, more likely it is a symptom of your problem. Under some situations when you don't have signal, the PRL says default until you get signal.
Did you contact the seller on ebay? I sure would.
The op is a little unclear... have you flashed the stock .tar file from here?
I would do a complete flash using the .pit file.

I thought about contacting the seller but I don't know who is at fault. When i first received the phone it had a signal. It started the over the air activation but never activated. Started the manual programming then got the no signal status. I don't want to blame the seller cause I like to do good business. He may say it had service till u tried to activate it. I will try to flash the stock files and select re partition option too.

there are also instructions somewhere around here how to clear out all user data and start the provisioning process over again. i know i saw them recently but am not sure which thread its in.
So, you can't get into Odin Mode, flash the full stock EG30 ROM by Crawrj and start completely fresh?

Yes I can get into odin mode.

Here's what has happened....
I purchased my SGS2 Saturday April 14th, I rooted it same day, I flashed TDJ Warefare. I noticed on the 4th day after getting my phone my calls started to drop like crazy. Like every other call was dropping or they couldn't hear me. So I called Tmo they walked me through troubleshooting, that didn't help. Took it back to the store where I purchased it this past weekend the sales rep said it sounds like it's a bad sim card. Ok so they changed my sim (of course I rooted again tried Jugganuats this time) and the phone was working fine until yesterday it starting dropping calls. SO I took the phone back and they switched it with a new one.
I would like to know from you all should I try rooting again?
Please don't flame me for asking this question or if it's in the wrong section of the forum.
I would just like your honest opinion as to what If I should or not and if I do, is there a solution to the dropped calls????
Thanks all
Rooting has nothing to do with your dropped calls. your first phone was defective.

I did I have a new one now. I was asking should I root again? I just don't want my calls to start dropping again.
Let me ask you since it's not the rooting what do you think it could be??
Did you do a factory reset before taking it back?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA
Rooting will not affect the signal or radio. Would suggest that, stay on stock ROM for a week or so and see if you get drop calls. If not, then try another ROM and if you get drop calls after that so it has to do with the ROM.

i work in the sprint store and in the past few days we have gotten at least 4 people with an epic touch still running gingerbread (with no option to update to ics) having issues with the bottom buttons not responding, touch screen acting weird, vibration activating sporadically, and with one case the media scanner runs in a loop. the only way to solve these issues have been to factory reset. but could only be temporary. the customers havnt returned. these issues have not just been happening on older devices but recent activation's.
is this a common issue? is there a fix? (without rooting!) we are a sprint store. we cant promote that lol
Well, couldn't you use the one click ek02, no data, which isn't rooted, and then let the ota process take the phone back to el29?
EK02 thread is here.
It would be stock, unrooted and you wouldn't be losing data.
Worth a try before a factory reset anyway..
Only thing I can think of since you don't want to root, then unroot..

We can't do that. This is a sprint store and we are very limited on what we can do. So far factory resets have done the trick. We haven't gotten anyone back sense but we also told them it wasn't normal and that if the problems returned that they should take it to a repair center to have repaired or replaced.
It really sucks though. I wish I could manually flash these peoples phones but I'm not allowed

People are saying this may be a pba problem.
Only PBA I know of is a bluetooth profile. What are you referring to?
I have the GSM Nexus so proceed with caution, but I'm wondering if they use the same types of files and folders. This is what I did to fix it when I accidentally wiped my IMEI:
cmstlist said:
Okay that was quick - solved it!
I believe the problem was that I'd restored the entire /data partition of my prior unit's backup including the /data/radio folder. Not a good idea! The solution was to copy the nv_data.bin and .md5 files from /factory and paste them to replace the incorrect ones in /data/radio. Now my IMEI is back!
Time to backup those files somewhere safe...

Don't try anything without backing up what you already have.
Just flash it to stock and play stupid. Then they will "factory data reset" it, because that fixes everything. Ha ha. No really, they'll give you a replacement.

if you can make a nandroid,
first off you need to download wugfresh's Gnex toolkit:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766475
second you need to install all the drivers if you haven't already.
then you need to choose your model type
after you will need to click on back to stock what it does is it resets everything, assuming your phone ant boot up choose not booting
once that is done you can choose the factory image which can be downloaded from Googles factory images or you can use the options provided
after that you follow all the steps provided in the tool kit. the tool kit is mostly automatic so it wont take allot of time.
once that is done you are back in stock and have lost everything but don't fret because you can root it again using the same tool kit.
quick point your phone still has an unlocked boot loader so don't worry about that.
once youve completed the above steps you should be back to your good old galaxy nexus home screen
Verizon won't warranty it because the sticker under the battery has turned colors. No water damage I just touched one day when I took out the battery my hands were slightly wet prob not smart lol. I know this wasn't the cause it has been 5 months the only thing damaged was the sticker and warranty. Yes I have the right ROMs installed I'm not a newb. This is like the same issue with the s3 I tried to use the qpst method but I can't even get the hidden menu to show on the phone clueless as to why. I just want to use my gnex as a beater phone when I'm out.

Sounds promising going to try. I took apart the phone to check internals all looks good, except for the fact I broke antenna pinched with case. Ordered a new one incase this works.

Hey guys I upgrade my fiance's Note 2 on AT&T to Android 4.3 via OTA update since the said update has been applied she has had major signal loss and pretty much no cell reception and comes in and out and its not stable any ideas? is there a way to perform a factory of factory reset via Odin? I've done a factory reset in the settings, but the same problem still exists. Or should I root the phone and reinstall the stock firmware (4.1.2) I'm thinking that it's the radio that was a bad flash during the OTA.
take it back to ATT and let them fix it
Does it still have a baseband or IMEI? Look in setting > about phone > status?

Seriously dude...
If your carrier borked up the device by their update...then "they" damaged your device...IMHO
Honestly...I've seen some shoddy updates over the years...but this latest really takes the cake...
Reports are everywhere on the web from all carriers regarding big problems...after taking this one...
Make them give you a "new" device....g

agree totally bro; I've never seen an "official" update screw up so many phones in the last 10+ years...ATT/Samsung should be ashamed of how shoddy this has been implemented, especially since it took them so incredibly long to put it out..
