Bell/Virgin GT-S5660M "No Service" When Using Custom Roms/Firmware.

hello everyone,
Must say without alot of your great posts and walkthroughs i wouldn't of even considered the wicked things my little Gio can do. But i have seem to always have 1 problems when flashing my cell.
I get a "No Service" after 6 hours and can never get it to pick up my Virgin Sim card. I have tried GioPro 1.2 to 1.6, CyanogenMod 7 and 9 and even some Europe firmwares that are supposedly work with it.
So i am assuming that alot of these firmswares/roms don't work with Canada services or phones/areas or is this a common glitch in custom roms. Any help or direction on fixing a issue like this would be more then amazing right about now.
thank you all for your time

after flashing gioprio, it also flashed your baseband. flash a stock rom based for the m model, or flash a baseband only, wich is for the M mode, and you're fine

i have never thought of that, thank you so much. I will report back with my results!

ok this is where you guys start to hate me, tried figure out where to locate a stock baseband and i got a one package for giopro 1.0 (GioPro_v1.6.tar) and my stock firmware for bell/virgin phone (GT-S5660M_BMC_S5660MUGKG3_S5660MUGKG3_S5660MBMCKG3.tar) and finally my GIO_v1.0.ops.
but where about do i locate a stock baseband for the 5660m or am i replacing one files from the stock firmware (GT-S5660M_BMC_S5660MUGKG3_S5660MUGKG3_S5660MBMCKG3.tar) to the GioPro custom (GioPro_v1.6.tar),
i hate to be that guy but i been battling this for a few weeks.

Can you flash a ROM to get European 3G frequencies with a Canadian phone?

I could compile a .tar.md5 of the S5660MUGKG3 Baseband only if you want?
(Flash it through Odin)
Because I have a GT-S5660M model also, so I always keep a backup of Stock Rom in my PC.

SUCESS! for now that is.
I was able to create a AMSS only .tar for flashing using Cygwin Terminal and this command
cd /cygdrive/c/baseband
tar -xvf S5660MUGKG3_S5660MUGKG3_S5660MBMCKG3_home.tar amss
tar -H ustar -c amss > S5660M AMSS.tar

Click to collapse
then was able to flash just the one package, seems to have left the other parts of the GioPro Rom installed.

Can this method be used to enable European 3G frequencies on the Gio?

Was having the same issues as OP - then realized I incorrectly flashed to 2.3.6 (for the 5660), now I'm trying to get back to stock 5660M 2.3.4 after downloading the S5660MUGKG3_S5660MUGKG3_S5660MBMCKG3 hotfile from droidangel - problem being it isn't a one file md5/tar... the rar contains like 9 files, image files and rfs. I've attached the rar contents.
View attachment 1132111
How do I use these files?? If it's not possible, does anyone have a lead on a one file for the stock 5660M 2.3.4 from Canada?
fyi, unrooted, unlocked
Thanks in advance

sob.... thought I had figured it out, went to samfirmware, got excited - their file was a different size from the droidangel...unfortunately same garbage, same list of image & rfs files instead of a single md5/tar

what a jackass I am
I'm only posting this because I have a low level of shame and I noticed a few others while googling who were having the same problem as me..hopefully this helps them
the solution and why i'm a jackass = i was unraring the tar file..hence the contents (image, rfs etc) which were not useable by odin
i was selecting the wrong file... trying to use odin to select one of the files inside the tar... after uncompressing the tar....
brutal... anyway, hopefully this helps others

Help!
Okay guys, Heres my problem... And I need guidelines because im new to all this. I installed the fake ics on my phone and because it started to limit what I could do on my phone I decided to go back to android 2.2. I used odin to go back but I think i selected the wrong Rom for my network and where I live. I live in Canada and I use Virgin mobile as my network. Now that I got Android 2.2 back I never get any network! How do I flash a new Baseband Version? and Where do I get the Baseband version for Bell/Virgin? Also If you could give me the download for The Official Android 2.2 rom and not a custom one.. it would be nice =)

It's going to be 2.3 (Gingerbread) and not 2.2 (Froyo) that you'll want to install.
There have been multiple posts and you should just have used the search function, then asked whatever questions you might have had left.
Get the MUGK3 stock ROM from here or samfirmware, flash it with Odin.
Again, simple, beginner stuff for which there are multiple tutorials. The search function is your friend.

Yeah it's that --> MUGKG3
If you are on EXT4, don't use it with ODIN. It'll bootloop your phone.
It's fine if you're on a RFS filesystem

Lol Im new to android, Whats ext4 and RFS? And What else instead of odin can do it with? also I have the GT-S5660, NOT THE GT-S5660M so does it make huge difference?

Sobey, I got your message, but really this is the sort of discussion best kept in the thread. If you got your phone from VMC, it's a 5660M. In fact, a GT-S5660 would not work with Virgin at all.
Peteragent5: He could flash the whole stock MUGKG3 ROM with Odin and reformat /cache and /data with the stock recovery.

But in About Phone it says GT-S5660 but ill trust your word. So I should download the Mugkg3 rom and use odin to get it into my phone? and do empty cache and data? Okay ill try this now and let you know if it works. I need your help with one more thing, Last time i used odin I followed a tutorial for where to put each file in which odin slot such as BOOT, PHONE, PDA, etc etc. Can you tell me which file needs to go in which slot? Or is it one package and I just click open package? Sorry man for asking to many questions but itll really help. Also I cant find the ops file!

You could make the "About Phone" model string say anything by editing the proper file. As I've said before: if your Gio worked with Virgin Mobile Canada at all, it a 5660M. The Europe/Asia 5660 doesn't have the proper HSPA bands.
Look up the differences between the different Gio models. Now. Use the search function.
There's also one or two tutorial threads here with both Odin 4.42 and the GIO_v1.0.ops file linked.
The stock rooted ROM I uploaded a while ago, as well as the OEM one from samfirmware.com are usually the "one package" kind. If you're unsure, open the tar (or tar.md5) file with a proper archiving program (7-Zip works well and is free open-source) and have a look. There should be many files, including but not limited to: amss, arm11boot, mibib, oemsbl, qcsbl, boot.img, recovery.img and system.rfs.
Quick recap:
Flash the MUGK3 ROM with Odin.
If the phone bootloops, got in the stock recovery and do a factory reset, in other words, reformat the partitions.
Done!

[Q] Jelly Bean Galaxy Ace II NFC only 482MB Ram

Hi, my problem is that I have a GT-i8160P. I updated it from 2.3.6 Gingerbread (spain orange) to 4.1.2 (spain) without any guide, only using Odin. When i saw the ram, i thought, "this should be normal", but i've seen on the Internet that people have 624mb ram. How can i solve that? any guide?. I can't install for example, the portuguese 4.1.2 TMN because with the pit and without the pit gives me an error in the cache.img.md5 and after that appears the pc screen, and i have to re-flash with spanish 4.1.2. ANY HELP?
THANKS A LOT

How much ram do you had with gb

555mb
there is a process for having 624 with jelly bean, but i can't follow it, neither downgrade to 2.3.6

I have the same problem, I tried all of these:
- flashing the MB2 with/without repartition with the PIT file provided by izap;
- flashing the MB2 with PIT file that I extracted from my phone using Heimdall;
- flashing only normal.bin (secondary bootloader, this file most probably includes parameters for reserving of RAM) from MB2 with Heimdall;
- flashing i8160 TMN MC8;
all of these failed. The last one (TMN MC8) even increased my flash counter because of "Custom modem" so I had to reset it.
I think that all we can do now is to find someone with i8160P running Gingerbread who can extract the SBL from his phone.

Happened me THE SAME. Tried everything but the last and more things. I know about one person with 2.3.6, but i'm 12 and that person 40+. So its imoossible, and i see him once a month. I know two more people but they arent my friends... sorry

Hello guys.
I own a 8160P with GB 2.3.6 XXLK3 so I think I can help you with that.
How can I do a full phone ROM extraction, include SBL ?
And how to restore it later ?

FIXED
Well... i fixed it, it's better 624mb RAM. I have a pair of questions that i'll post later
1-Root the phone with http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2139263
Do this only if NFC
1.1-Download Root Browser from google play
1.2-Open root browser, and go to /system/build.prop , open with text editor
1.3-EVERYTHING YOU SEE with "GT-i8160P", change to "GT-i8160", without the P​
2-Download this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2342997, only the file "cm-10...", not gapps
3-Run CWM temporal recovery, attached at the end of the post, and make a full backup
4-After that, follow the instructions of the post of cyanogenmod, and even if wipe data/cache is recommended, I got bootloop if not do that
5-You will have 624mb Ram (i used france rom XXFM1, not sure if others function), verify that in About the Phone, in settings
6-Go to CWM recovery, wipe data and cache, and restore the backup of before
7-Boot the phone, see in the tasks admin if you have 624mb ram
THANKS TO: dh.harald for his amazing ROM

Accidentally flashed nexus 7 firmware on I9515

Hi,
I accidentally flashed the Nexus7 firmware (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2449072) on my S4 mini running latest CM10.1 nightly.
I wanted to ask, can i somehow revert that? it doesnt seem to affect anything at the moment..
these files were copied:
package_extract_file("bootloader-flag.txt", "/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/misc");
package_extract_file("bootloader.sbl2.img", "/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/sbl2");
package_extract_file("bootloader.sbl3.img", "/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/sbl3");
package_extract_file("bootloader.tz.img", "/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/tz");
package_extract_file("bootloader.rpm.img", "/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/rpm");

package_extract_file("DDR.bin", "/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/DDR");
can i just delete these files or are they used by the system? how would I be able to tell if they are used?
Thanks!

That doesn't look good. Some very important partitions might have been written to. Can you still boot it into recovery or the rom?

if the phone boot in recovery mode, the phone can be repaired;
can boot ?

I'm using the phone as usual
Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
The phone booted regularly and I am using it at the moment as if nothing happened.
So i guess I shouldn't reboot? ^^
How can I fix this? Reflash CM?
In the update script of CM I can't see these files being touched. The boot.IMG actually doesn't contain any files in /dev. Is that normal?
Thanks

Yeah those files are being written directly to partitions, which is very dangerous if they're from another device. The one you flashed in particular replaces the bootloader partitions, which might completely brick the phone and make it unbootable. I guess that if you was able to boot it after flashing it, that it didn't actually flash the partitions after all. So if everything seems ok, you should consider yourself lucky.

hy,
if the phone boot in recovery mode, then you can make a full restore factory firmware with this file:
Bootloader -> BOOTLOADER_I9195XXUAMG8_1097013_REV01_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar
PDA -> CODE_I9195XXUAMG8_1097013_REV01_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar

PIT -> CSB_signed_SERRANOLTE_ONEPIT_OPEN_130523.pit
the factory firmware are I9195XXUAMG8_1097013_DBT, link:
https://mega.co.nz/#!FtEjAKSY!QKwkYilDkcB43Yu1tYsBqTGsD5U-f3n3P5Uaho7bJY8

thanks
and would you recommend flashing that? would anything else be affected? (CM 10.1)
or am i "safe" ...
Thanks guys!

yes,
before flash CM 10 flash this files;
this is like installing a fresh windows os, and this will repaire your phone: inclusiv bootloaders, partitions etc

ok, and i do that by booting into download mode and flashing with odin, right?

yes ... and then you flash your firmware for your region

ok.. one last thing..
when you say firmware, what do you refer to? just the bootloader/modem? or the complete "factory image"?
does it matter if i flash a different firmware?
thanks

1. flash the files from the post #6
Bootloader -> BOOTLOADER_I9195XXUAMG8_1097013_REV01_user_low_shi p_MULTI_CERT.tar
PDA -> CODE_I9195XXUAMG8_1097013_REV01_user_low_ship_MULT I_CERT.tar
PHONE -> MODEM_I9195XXUAMG8_1097013_REV01_user_low_ship_MUL TI_CERT.tar
CSC -> CSC_OXA_I9195OXAAMG8_1097013_REV01_user_low_ship_M ULTI_CERT.tar
PIT -> CSB_signed_SERRANOLTE_ONEPIT_OPEN_130523.pit
2. then you flash firmware for your region, you can take the firmware from http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I9195 ,
in my case my region is COA, then i chose firmware with COA; in your case probably is another region, your need to find your region on the box of the phone (is something like GT-i9195ZKACOA)
3. then if you want flash again CM 10.1
please feedback if work

solution:
Hi,
so thanks bog and arcos. what i did in the end:
boot into download mode, plugin to odin
select bootloader from the factory firmware that bog posted (thanks for that!)
select phone baseband from samsung-updates latest build (because there was a newer version.. AMH4 is what i have as baseband now)
all the files that were flashed by the update.zip from the OP have been replaced basically.
i didnt bother reflashing a full rom, and it works flawlessly now.
i guess i got lucky and thanks again!

[Q] i8160 - stuck @ boot - no recovery possible

Hello guys!
I have an Ace2 (which was on Android 2.3.6) and tried to install CM11. At first it didn't work, because I had no CWM. So I flashed a Kernel with CWM and installed the CM11-ROM via CWM. That was no problem. But when I was setting up the ROM, I realised that I had no mobile/phone connection at all.
So I tried to install a few stock firmwares via Odin. The installation always finishes with no errors. But when I boot the phone it does not get any further than to the Samsung-startscreen.
And I can't access the recovery mode anymore! Only Odin-Mode is still possible.
Is there an option to get my phone back to some kind of stock state.
Please help me out!

Try to re-flash into stock rom, the jellybean version. If you had a problem with the network maybe there's something wrong with the csc file

U can also try to flash stock GB/JB (depends on which firmware u have now) kernel separatly. Ramdisk (u have recovery in it) is flashed with kernel so it can help

NOW I KNOW TOO! :silly:
I have to stock upgrade to JB first, BEFORE I flash custom JB ROMs.
I'm already loading a 3-part firmware, from that thread you gave me. Although the first link did not work, I hope there is the same (3-part) firmware in the second link.

U mean u are downloading from this link http://d-h.st/AZN ? (I8160XXLK6.zip)
Yes, its definetly GB stock rom, i was forced to use I8160XXLK6 (not from this link, but still) when i messed up my phone few weeks ago (same problem i could enter only odin-mode)

Yep, that's exactly what I'm downloading @ the moment.
And those are the 3 parts for Odin which should bring the phone back to GB-stock?
PDA: CODE_GT-I8160_I8160XXLK6_CL1211243_REV00_user_SEC_KEY_LK6_4G.tar
CSC: CSC_GT-I8160-MULTI-CSC-OXELF1_SEC_KEY_4G.tar
PIT: GT-I8160_EUR_XX_4G
Did I get that right?
I just don't want to mess it up again...

And btw:
I already tried a I8160XXLK6 but it was a single-file firmware and had no effect on my problem.
I need the 3-parts including CSC and PIT, right?

It doesnt work? Huh dunno why.
Lets trust @teddysten and upgrade to JB, it might work
If it wont u will have to do some research and find 3-part GB rom

The single-file firmware did not work for me!
I haven't tried the 3-part firmware yet, from the link that you gave me. In about 10 minutes the download will be finished and I'm going to try it immediately!

Well. Remember that after flashing first booting (samsung logo ANIMATION) takes a while.
if u will still have this issue after downgrading to GB then upgrade it from this to JB anyway because it might work (dont ask me how, i dont know how so i wont explain). For now im out and ill visit XDA tommorow (earliest).
soo Good Luck and i hope that others will help u too if u will get some problems.

I am here if you need help
What version of you Odin do you have ?

Ok...
I downloaded the 3-part firmware to get back to GB stock.
That worked.
Then I installed the original JB-firmware from my provider.
That worked too.
So I'm happy again and everything is working!
Thanx a lot guys!!!!! :highfive:

Well you've learnt your lesson. Never try to flash from GB to KK
Sent from my GT-I8160 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Thank you so much. I was in this EXACT situation (GB to KK) and tried everything; pretty much every GB single-file ROM I could file. The 3-part ROM did the trick though! DD I'm literally so grateful right now I put in the effort to sign up and post this thank you message... that's a lot of effort for me xD

Note 2 SHV-E250S IMEI Null/Null

Hello all,
after Rooting my Note 2 SHV-E250S a long time ago I get bored with the stock firmware JB 4.3 SKT-E250SKSUEMK9. So I decided to flash a new Custom Rom.
I start reading and preparing. Backed up my data with Titanium Backup and used this for my EFS Backup: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/development/efs-samsung-tool-universal-support-t2602325
It created this files: efs.img (20 MB) and efs.md5 (1KB)
so i went through and flashed this Custom Recovery(TWRP for SKT) with Odin: https://twrp.me/devices/samsunggalaxynote2t0lteskt.html
after reboot I wondered why I dont have to insert my PIN. Checked my IMEI and it says Null/Null
I tryed to Restore my EFS with the Samsung Tool and it didnt work.
Some forums talk about the .nv_data.bin in the EFS Folder. but I checked it with ES Data Explorer (root explorer is activated) and its not there.
What should I do now?
will it help if I go back to stock recovery?
I didnt found any for my device, so I would use [GT-N710x][SHV-E250*] CF-Auto-Root
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1933542
it contains
- SuperSU binary and APK
- Stock recovery

What I tried till now:
- http://howto.highonandroid.com/sams...extract-stock-recovery-from-samsung-firmware/
Download stock firmware MK9 and extract stock recovery. Flashed with Odin. But it stuck on recovery.img. After 10 min I restart the Phone and --> Nothing. TWRP is still there
- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pai4BH3AWq8
Enterd ServiceMode with *#0011#. But its --> Empty
There is also the Method of flashing Modem. It´s mentioned several times. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2333216
I think its for the N7100 version. At least I didnt saw any post regarding the LTE version.

Alright, time for an update:
I decided to wait for Support and as you see --> Nothing
To post my question about the modem regarding compatability also faild because its in the dev forum. I need at least 10 posts to post there.
I'll keep you up to date

did you managed to fix the problem, as i got one E250S with the same problem (Unknown Baseband),
This happened after someone tried to flash the phone with N7100 firmware,
i tried to reflash the phone with it's original SKT firmware, and did flash the CP part twice, but that didn't fix the problem,
If someone have a solution for this, please post it here,
thanks in advance
