I previously had a Resurrection mod that was using jellybean. The new custom mod i installed is Cynaogenmod 12.1 lolipop.
After i installed the new custom rom i got a "Root Access Possibly Lost. fix" error message straight from CWM recovery mode. After the first long boot of the new custom mod i had no cell service. Also, i tried restarting into CWM but i think it is now lost because of that error message.
Anyways, i looked at the back of my phone and the IMEI number matches the number in the About Phone. Another thing of note is that there is no APN. I tried putting in the APN settings but it wouldnt save. It says: "Acess Point Name settings are not available for this user.
I'm new to rooting so, im not even sure how to root the phone again. Should that be my first step? WIll it be different because it has lolipop installed?
My phone:
SGH-T999
android version: 5.1.1
UPDATE Ok, it says "No Service" but i can make phone calls and send text messages. However, my DATA service isnt working, when i turn off WIFI i cant use the internet. Thats the problem.
Is the phone running the latest bootloader and modem?
Hi there,
Excuse the novice. Just got this 2 days ago and I am still trying to figure it out why I can't access the net at all.
I have not got Android experience much and I am digging now how to come out of this situation.
So no option to access Net at all. The Error in response is " Couldn't sign in. There was communicating problem with Google servers . Try again later." So this is like a loop there.
Android Version -5.1
Baseband Varsion - MOLY.LR9.W1444.MD.LWTG.MP.V16.P10
Kernel Version - 3.10.65
Build Number -ALPS.L1.MP3.V2_NB6753.65U.L1_P22
Custom Build Version - Elephone_P8000_20151014
I must admit the Phone came preset and once I have switch it on it picked up GMT time without I have set anything.
I will appreciate any help or pointing to a resources to try to solve as now it is unusable as I can't download anything.
Thanks in advance.
Check:
Settings --> Data Usage --> (cellular provider tab) --> toggle 'enable mobile data'
See if that's the issue. Good luck.
Now Stacked to The Elephone Logo on and unresponsive.

Thanks kevvyboy,
I can't do anything right now. The phone by itself (really) got in a mode I can't read even with letters so small, went to the Android Man with red Mark and now is in front of me unresponsive with the logo of Elephone totaly unresponsive.
Just to underline - I have not touch anything- I have left it on stand by last time I have played with it.
Any clues and help please will be much appreciated.
PS. NOW I have managed to (I guess Switched it off) and again on and there was window with APP UPDATE - came to 116 out of 116 updated and now again can't access the net neither Google Play.
Could this be a OTA Update completed somehow?
Thanks everyone in advance!

Hi again,
I have enabled the cellular data - no luck again.
When I am trying google play again message Google servers can't be reached and the more interesting - using the - preload browser it try to search trough yahoo search. This phone was sold to me as new, but I am starting to wonder what it has been through before it reached me?
Will a flash using PhilZ Recovery will help?
Could someone point me the way out of this please?
Thanks!
New bizarre Message.
Hi again,
Just to make it more interesting out of the blue it Popped up a Message box with following wording.
"In a Previous Android Version You have disabled all Google App services. Do you want to enable them. Yes/NO,
Of course I have chosen Yes and Again Can't reach net neither via Cellular data nor Wi-Fi.
Any useful contribution will be much appreciated.
Thanks!
Stuck on Airplane Mode? Try toggling it on and off. I remember my HTC OneX having an Airplane Mode issue - had to toggle on / off several times and reboot.
ETA - faulty APN settings for your provider? May explain a mobile data issue, but doesn't address the wifi issue.
Dammit.
Got It Work on Cellular

Thanks Kevvyboy for your contribution.
Somehow I have managed to get the Cellular data connected and now have updated the Google Service.
WI-FI still an issue. Is there any sense - updating a driver (if I am not asking stupid question here)?
Thanks!
Glad to hear at least cellular working! The wifi issue is a bit of a mystery to me though - I'm all out of smart ideas, sorry
Hopefully some other bright soul can chip in.

download drivers for SP flash tools and SP flash tools program.
go and download mediatek drivers and sp flash tool.
you can get these from elephones website, google or where ever. i got mind from needarom. i used the latest versions for both.
i downloaded the 5th November 2015 firmware from elephones rom. it came pre 7-zipped. i unzipped it and left it's structure.
installing the drivers part:
you need to disable signature enforcement in your OS to install the drivers.
open SP flash tools.
load the scatter file in the official rom folder you unzipped with 7 zip.
at this point press the download button in SP tools.
switch off your phone. connect the usb cable to the phone and the computer.
you should now have the latest firmware on you phone when complete.
please note it wipes everything, so back up anything important to you.
once done, set up your apn in settings, mobile networks, access points.
wifi should work after a clean factory reset if you don't have a dodgy device.
elephone only supports 2.4ghz for wifi as far as a i know.
also make sure your network bands and are supported by the p8000.

Hi El_Nino9,
Thank you for the reply and sorry I am delaying my response. I have actually done some of the suggested previously once I read more on the site - thanks for the contributors here. I had Eragon 9.5.0 Custom ROM set with Philiz recovery tool after Mediatek driver download but the wi-fi is still an issue.
I will try to perform the the one suggested from you, I just have located the latest Elephone p8000 ROM on the Elephone site and will perform this on a first chance I have. - most probably on Friday.
Thanks once again and I will post an update from the outcome.
OK!
I have done the upgrade to the 05.11.15 Stock ROM.
Have made a Factory Reset and the Wi-Fi is working as before but I can't reach internet basically.
Again after attempts to get to Play Store or to or to perform a simple Google Search it comes again after message "Just a second" and after 20- 30 seconds it end up with the message.
"Google Server can't be reached at the moment please try again later."
Any help on this will be much appreciated!
Thanks a lot in advance!
P.S>
I have just discovered that the icon of the WI - FI showing a processes going on but I can't reach My Router URL for example through the Local network.
Does it mean this is really dodgy unit or I am missing any settings or there is any cure for this?
Thanks again!

so your mobile data still works on the latest firmware? specially after typing the correct apn settings?
regarding your wifi, where is the router in relation to your position? far away? standing right next to it with the phone? whats your encryption for your wifi? tried changing that to a different type and seeing if it connects?
if you have big concrete walls and live in a nice solid building that may too cause signal not to reach. the wifi isn't that great on the device speaking from experiance in comparison to other devices.
if all fails... possibly dodgy device

Hi EL_Nino9,
I guess either the p8000 not like my D-LinkDIR-655 router or I am missing something in general.
I have an extension for the other rooms and the phone connecting to a simple TP-Link with no hassle at all, but D-Link is like a brick wall - you see the wi-fy working but no internet access.
It is still a mystery.
At least is proven the wi-fi module is working.
Believe me - I have tried to alter the setting on the route and still can't get to the net content.
Will keep exploring this and will report if any luck.
Thnaks!
I´m facing the same issue here. Google-Services like Google-Photo, Gdrive, Inbox are not working. Any solutions so far?
Looks Like I have rooter WI-FI issues

Hi kraftmaschine - I have discovered that my aged D-LInk DIR-655 was giving me problems dropping out the signal. I had an access through mobile network and through my other room extension rooter, so I got on mind either compatibility issue or router problem. So I have upgraded the router and voila. Everything got sorted.
Also upgrade to the latest mod - not OWA but using the standard methods described here.
Hope that helps.
Hello
I will try to be simpler as i can
I have a MI MAX Prime (4GB/128)
Everything was ok and working right until MIUI 8.2.3.0 OTA arrived.
After update my phone started to experience Network disconnects and reconnects, "NO SIM Card, NO NETWORK, VIRGIN 4G", This happens at random periods but more often when i wake up phone from idle.
Nobody on Xiaomi Forums helped me, not even developers, Phone carrier told me to change sim card but problem persisted.
3 sympthoms.
1. After upgrading to 8.2.3.0 i can't search for networks manually. (http://attach.en.miui.com/forum/201705/09/033557amdkj2j33bkmyybm.jpg)
2. I use a MVNO which says i must use Roaming even locally, but this NEVER worked even if activated (http://attach.en.miui.com/forum/201705/09/233925hg9b3p55hm3pcpk9.png.thumb.jpg)
(http://attach.en.miui.com/forum/201705/09/233923kydk07ysor4rt0cz.png.thumb.jpg)
3. I noticed this weird pattern while charging (http://i.imgur.com/SPtvuqY.png)
I have done a factory reset and a rom flash via EDL, but problem remains.
I really don't know what to do now
Thanks in advance for your assistance
Well I am on the 8.2.5 Mi Max (not prime) & you can choose network manually by:
Settings - Sim card and mobile networks - tap on the preferred sim card - mobile networks & switch off the chose automatically and select preferred one.
You have to describe beter what is happening with your network connection. Does it gets blocked or disconnects completely (aka ril restarts) also does switch on/of air-plane mode resolves it?

In half a second Network disconnects and reconnects,

Then "NO NETWORK"
Then "VIRGIN 4G",

Specially when unlocking the phone
Notice there is not airplane mode activated

It works hire.
Try rolling back to older versions, 8.1.9.0 is enlisted on official page.
http://en.miui.com/extra.php?mod=rom/download&r=302&mobile=no#458
Obviously somehow RIL is getting stuck & re-initializing (restarting). Can you direct me to a MiUI forum url where you failed complain/bug report.

Definitely a software one, simply something didn't fit in (either a RIL or related cellular radio libs) good when you updated so you need to revert to previous one with other RIL and libs. Then you can try again with 8.2.3.0...
Flashed to 8.2.1.0 with miflash via EDL mode.
Problem remains... Seriously WtH?

Assuming that your bootloader is unlocked I suggest you flash exactly the version with which the phone came, I flash ever with any issue via adb-fastboot placing decompress rom files in the same folder in c: with option "flash all".

You are doing something wrong. I pointed you out to the 8.1.9.0. For Mi Max Prime Global stable. I don't know where you found 8.2.1.0. at all it's not enlisted on the site not even for a China Stable (that goes up to 8.2.2.0.)...

Please wipe all data in Recovery mode if you want to update to a discontinuous ROM version, or downgrade to an older ROM version using MIUI full ROM pack.
I don't have access to recovery mode since i don't have TWRP and my phone is bootloader locked
After downgrading to 8.2.1.0 and rebooting twice the problem has been fixed, it's been 48 hours and there is no more issue
it's really sad that NOBODY at Xiaomi forums/Help desk/ customer support gave a single S#it about it.
If you are going to purchase a Xiaomi phone, think it twice, there is 0 support. Besides XDA.

You should check your IMEI *#06#
If IMEI is missing:
Open the file imei.qcn using hex editor and looking for value:
Code:
08 8A 96 72 01 42 99 81 05 - Sim 1
08 8A 96 72 01 42 99 81 86 - Sim 2

thanks in advance
So, i bought this samsung phone sm-a520f/ds. It worked smoothly on marshmellow until the nougat ota arrived... So I did a factory reset as many stated that would fix the issues I was having with the new android version.
Now I am unable to connect to any wifi AP and I get the following message on screen after selecting my language:
"unable to connect to wifi due to unauthorized factory reset"
I have access to my google account which I was using on this device, but due to being unable to connect to the network, it is impossible to reach the login screen.
Any idea or solution will be appreciated !!
PD: I was planning on flashing marshmellow with odin, but i have no idea if that would make things worse... or if it will help me with this problem...
I ran into the same problem with same phone.
Did you find any method to bypass that lock?
Please help me with this
I suggest reflashing marshmallow. It should ask you for your google account details.
Hello! I updated my phone to MIUI Global 13.0.7 Stable (SKHINXM) and suddenly my phone has no service. The sim card is fine and working on other phones like it was before the update. Really unable to fix this issue. If it helps, in the testing window the 'Mobile Radio Power' is toggled off and however many times I try to switch it on, it automatically switches off. Please help!

Try to reset the phone or if your bootloader is unlocked flash with this tool

Okay thank you! Will try it in a few days time once I am able to give it the time needed.
It is happening to me too, I'm on stock 13.0.4 SKHMIXM, bootloader locked, it happened in 13.0.3 too. Sometimes, I see I have no services, no data, no GPS. But WiFi works great, so if I'm in house I don't always see it, but it means I cannot receive call!!!
I tried to enable/disable sim/data/location/airplane/etc nothing works.
Only way to re-make it works is to reboot the phone, and after 2 or 3 weeks it will happen again, this is the price to pay to have cheap chinese phone...
Try booting into Android with Safe Mode. (and disable Airplane Mode if enabled)
Power + Volume Up > Safe Mode
Or try this:
Settings > Updater > Tap on the "13" several times, this will enable additional Updater-features. Download the latest package and install it.
My guess is that your update may have been corrupt.
Other than that.. Factory Reset or connecting phone to PC and flashing ROM using Fastboot & Mi Flash or Terminal.
I've 13.0.7 and everything's flawless.
So the Xiaomi service center told me that it is possibly a motherboard issue. How can a software update suddenly awaken a hardware issue?
So I had not unlocked my bootloader via my Mi account and it needs mobile data for the same and hence I am unable to flash it since my network is still unavailable even after a factory reset. Any other way I can flash my phone with an older version of MIUI or I will have to submit my phone to the service center?

Same issue i am facing after MIUI updation for 13.0.3.0 SJCINXM ... suddenly all networks are vanished ... if i do manual search for networks then i get a message 'Couldn't search for mobile networks' . Voice call is only possible if wifi is enabled.. This is really a horrible experience and i am unable to find out a way to get rid of this situation.. I am using Redmi 9 Prime handset .. Before this update everything was surperb and flawless.
It is still happening with the latest Android 13 and MIUI14, it's frustrating... sometimes when the phone switch wifi/lte/wifi/lte/etc when you go outside, the modem crashes, it internally bootloop and the phone becomes warm and can lose 25% battery in like 15 minutes. Only way is to reboot the phone.
I had a similar problem. Were you able to solve it?
