Hi all,
I have a Bell Canada Samsung Galaxy S3 that I can't get the modem to work on. I have Philz recovery on it and have tried a few modem files but neither the wireless or the mobile carrier works.
I have tried putting cyanogenmod on it but am back on a stock ROM at this point. I am at a bit of a loss as to what to do.
The phone boots fine, looks all normal but I just can't get on the mobile network(tried multiple SIM's).
I am really hoping you can help!
Does your phone display the correct imei when you dial *#06#??
It does, it shows my IMEI with a /5 at the end.
At this point, I am running I747MVLUEMK5_I747MOYCEMK5_BMC
I also do show cellular signal but can't seem to connect. When I scan wireless networks, I pick nothing up.
Any ideas?
Thanks again!

Is the phone blacklisted?
I don't think so, how can I verify that? I did buy it used just over a year ago and it only broke about a month ago?

You've had the phone for a while so I didn't think it would be blacklisted.
Since you have the 4.3 bootloader, you need to have a compatible modem and, from my experience, only the mk5 modem will work.
Did you use Odin to flash back to stock?
Yes, that is how I put the current stock firmware on it. I had cyanogenmod on it at one point...

I am at a loss as to why you cannot connect to a network. Which carrier do you want to connect with?

Hello, everyone. First I want to say a big thank you to all XDA Developers and forum mod's for all hard work they do for us users.
I have purchased trough craiglist cell phone and I have tried to delete all things that previous owner had on the phone since he did not delete his files and the rest of his stuff. I did flash phone with some stock rom's and some rooted rom's. I have Baseband Version, H/W unknown and also IMEI MEID is unknown. Before I decided posting here, I have read here on xda and searched everywhere to fix it but I didn't have any luck.
I have tried downloading almost all firmware and tried different modems, kernels, bootloaders, repartioning and it does not fix my phone.
I would really apreciate if anyone can help me with this. Is there any way to get from somebody that have same phone like partition or files?
Thank you very much!

I have tried to flash and firmware that was posted for sph-d710 was actualy for sgh-i900 but I didn't know till I have flashed and booted.

You might want to try an odin one click and it'll reset all of it back to normal and will put you on the latest Jellybean leak. Here's the one to use if you want Root http://www.rwilco12.com/downloads.p...-D710)/Stock ROMs/JB/GA10/Full Restore/Rooted and here's the one if you don't want Root http://www.rwilco12.com/downloads.p...710)/Stock ROMs/JB/GA10/Full Restore/Unrooted
If you flashed an international (gt-i9100) rom you're looking at jTag or replacing the phone cuz you hosed your bootloader and the partitions so the PC will never recognize it to Odin it back to stock. If the rom is rooted you *MAY* be able to use mobile odin to flash everything but the modem, but it's highly doubtful that will fix your forked up bootloader. And I've never seen an i9100 rom labeled as a d710 rom I think you just didn't read thoroughly enough.
I like to break stuff!
Thank you, MHousos. I'll give a try with SPH-D710_GA10_818252_Rooted_Restore. I have to mention that all other firmware I have tried flashing with Odin and Heimdall they both can flash phone but when they slow down when flashing modem.bin. They don't show no errors or that flashing have pass. I have been waiting for long time to see if the phone will get flashed or not but later I have to flash kernel so I can use phone with WIFI but baseband, h/w, imei is unknown.

I have tried I think almost all stocks, rooted, kernels, modems and other tools.
My phone is not dead, I can flash and use phone with WIFI.
When I try to flash any one-click firmware with odin or heimdall they stop like at end when flashing modem.bin
I have to disconnect usb cable and power off phone than put it in D/M and flash kernel but modem will not work
as h/w ime baseband is unknown.
Please can anyone help me out I would really apreciate.
In SPH-D710 .PIT it shows 13 or 14 file images?
If I had all files to flash would that help or not?
If someone could help me to get all files so I can try
I'm not asking to help me for free.
Thank you guys.

Use a Full Restore One Click, as it actually is preset to re-partition. All One Clicks are built with the pit file as the pit is used for mapping.
I would recommend using PC Odin manually to flash the three tar files separately. Kernel, modem and Rom.
I can tell you this - If you're attempts are always failing at a certain location, then it's probably time for you to follow this link, providing that you can actually flash.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1865102
And maybe even the possibility of failing internal memory. Last two threads I remember that started like yours ended with a BLOD,
Good luck, I hope that isn't the case for you.
So I have a Telus I747M (Canadian) and I used ROM Manager to get CWM 6 on my phone. The thing is that I chose the Metro PCs version and I installed it. Now I have no signal at all. I flashed the firmware back to the stock telus one via USB and Odin. Still no service, anything to do now?
are you sure you flashed the right stock rom? Stupid question but it's always best to check. And did you get your phone from Metro or did you unlock it?

Try flashing any rom (like Cyanogenmod) and then use any of the many methods to re-unlock your phone to Metro and see if that helps.

If your IMEI shows 0, no amount of flashing will help you. You must restore you IMEI to have data working again. If you backed up your IMEI or EFS folder your set, just restore it.

Hello to everyone, I was wondering if anyone can help with this. I have a Galaxy Note 2 branded by an Italian company (3hg Italia). It recently received its update to Android 4.3 (update N7100XXUEML2). It was the official update OTA, the phone is not rooted and it had the stock ROM on it. The update somehow messed up my IMEI making it appear as the generic 0049 forcing me on "Emergency calls only" mode. I already tried flashing the same ROM with Odin and repeating the update with KIES, but while the updates always results successful the IMEI remains 0049. I never made a backup of the EFS folder for this phone since I haven't rooted it or flashed any different ROM on it yet. There is any chance that the phone made an automatic backup? I live in the States right now and Samsung tells me I need to ship it back to Italy to have it fixed, but that costs a lot and would take forever, and I would much prefer try to solve the problem locally. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, if not for any fix that I can try myself, at least some place on the West Coast that can fix the problem!
Thank you!
Lorenzo
Oh I forgot to add that because of Hardware problems I recently sent my phone to Samsung and they replaced the motherboard, which fixed the problem I was having. I don't know if that could be related!

So I found someone nice enough to give me a hand with this situation, but still no luck yet! Here what they say:
At first glance, the EFS data on the phone was corrupt. I re-generated
that data and restored it to the phone without success.
The GSM radio itself is operational, and the firmware for it is
installed and functional. diagnostic data flows to the towers and back
to the phone but it's not reading the IMEI from the copy of
nv_data.bin contained within EFS. I've re-generated and installed
those files as well, again with no luck.
I rolled the device back to it's original factory firmware and radio
baseband, then ran through the update for the radio baseband, which
also regenerates the contents of EFS, and still no luck.
Given the situation, anyone have other suggestions?
i have Note 2 ATT, i am having network connection problem. i can't connect to my ATT network connection . i get circle with line in middle.
i took my phone to ATT store and they tried changing the Sim card and even updating my phone to the latest update, but it did not work.
i tried downgrading my phone to stock Rom when i downgrade the phone. it seems to work fine for five minutes or so i even made a call after one call it started showing same circle with line in middle. i tried flashing all different Rom, i even tried re flashing MJ4 modem. nothing seems to work.
i research to find a solution but i didn't find any solution to this problem. right now i am on Sky Note Air 4.3.
please help me i appreciate for any help.
EDIT: i flash back to stock Rom 4.3 with rooted MK6 bootloader. just to see if it makes any different on my networking problem. And still have issue with not networking data.

Try flashing 4.3 rom from scratch (wiping dalvik cache, data/factory reset and cache partition) ? May be this will help fixing problem
If you want you can try Stock Rom - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2589891
Also make sure you have an APN set. @Bajanman has compiled a list of several AT&T APNs in his thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2172110

They are not hacking my friend...
Have you verified that your IMEI and EFS folder are normal ?
And have you verified your APN settings for your carrier ??
You mention flashing several roms on the device...
The items I listed will help you determine if any damage has been done....and also help you get service again...
All are knowledge you must have to prevent bad things from happening...
If your carrier did an official update to 4.3 while the device was rooted and running custom firmware....then you absolutely need to start fresh to clean the device up again...
Are you getting Knox errors or force close issues ??
Basically....in order to help you we need a detailed status of the device...
Software version....kernel version ....and baseband.....
The information is in settings/about phone/....and will tell us how best to proceed....g

Reading your first post, ATT flashed your phone to the latest update??? And changed the SIM? And that didn't work?
Why did you leave the store when your phone didn't work?
They told me they can't do nothing about it and the warranty was voided too.

Interesting. I'm asking questions I guess really dont matter.
But why was warranty voided, or was it expired?
Again more confusion.... Just wondering why they changed sim, flashed update, then told you to hit the street with a broke **** phone.
I can understand not replacing it, warranty whatever.
I took an Atrix2 phone into the shop, no working data. I had called tech support, they had OTA refreshed it, didnt work. Set me up with tier 2 tech support, more resets. Nothing.
Went into store, got another sim. Turns out it was simple. I had turned off the data plan awhile back until I was ready to give it to my daughter.
Got online, picked a plan. Data lite off.
Point is they worked with me to find the problem on a phone that was 2-3 years old.
You probably should follow me how to in this section and flash the stock 4.1.1 and go from there.

hello ladies and gents I bought a note 3 yesterday from some dude thinking I could fix it and get a note 3 on the cheap. I was wrong the problem is hard to fix.
1 It will not register to network
it is not blacklisted or network blocked.
Ive read somewhere that after you register to many different sims it wont allow it to connect to network anymore.
what can I do I wonder as a last ditch effort if I replace the motherboard if that will work any suggestions please?

1 It will not register to network
it is not blacklisted or network blocked.
Ive read somewhere that after you register to many different sims it wont allow it to connect to network anymore.
what can I do I wonder as a last ditch effort if I replace the motherboard if that will work any suggestions please?

Have you tried updating the firmware? check the APN on the phone once you insert the sim.
You could try taking it to a T-Mobile store to see if they can get it to register. Sometimes they can activate it when you can't.

I cant take it to the store i bought it from someone or at least i dont think i can it didnt have the knox counter activiated but now it does so im pretty sure the thing that resends and receives the signal is broken but im not sure where it is.
its basically a tablet :/

Try updating to the latest firmware. Something might have broke the modem during an upgrade. Go to www.sammobile.com

everything else works without flaw it seems just will not register on network when I try the mobile data turns off and then it just never does.
Ive flashed 2 different modems via odin tried using a att sim (still no registering)
The phone is unlocked. I dont know what to do.

It is most definitely not imei blocked.
It feels like it might be hardware related but I have no idea how to fix that. some piece that deals only with registering on networks.
Corrupted efs folder is my other guess

Sounds like a network block. Post a screenshot of the failing to register device after dialing *#0011#

Well, that's interesting.
If you go to settings, mobile networks, and search for networks, can you select the network and have it register?
Also double check the apn settings. I borked my hidden apn settings once and couldn't get back on the network until i wiped and reflashed full stock.
If none of that works, try also resetting the nv. Look for my thread on 900t service mode for instructions.

I've already rebuilt the nv build. It's a family mobile sim(tmobile)
Also the apn settings I can try that again haven't changed them since I did a flashed back to stock. I doubt it will change anything usually you can still register.
oh the sim doesn't even have service anymore anyhow. Yesterday was the last day but I don't think that would change being able to register anyway.
Notice that it turns off mobile data when I try to register it may be a clue but I haven't been able to make anything of it.
