Their is your answer like so many other broken phones .
You need to totally wipe the phone .
Suggest looking at the rom kitchin and make a rom with your required CSC for network .

[Q] Random Crashing, and lagging Gt540??

I dnt know whats wrong with my phone but ever since i updated from 1.6 to eclair my phone has randomly hung then reset, id assume this is a firmware problem since this phone is fairly new, so is there any way to Fully reflash rather than reflashing with these Baltic and other rom partial flashes?? the firmwares i have tried are Baltics ( was stable but not what i wanted), Uk Open( stabilish but not what i wanted) and then Australia( sorta what i wandted, but very unstable) in that order, australia's rom really started the problems, it was very unstable for my phone and i have not been able to reverse the instability by flashing back to baltics, iv tried everything, factory resetting did little to no differance with these problems, so any advice or solutions would be helpful and welcome! thanks!

Well all the roms are stable for me. You are using someking of app that ****s up ure ROM or just doing something wrong while flashing the ROM.
Don't forget to hard reset the phone. Before and after flash to be sure. I have Baltic and the phone is very stable

As far as im aware the flashing process is not the problem, and im definatly not using any random apps, for instance i may have just done a hard reset on the ausy rom, then typed in all my settings added all my accounts, nothing out of the abnormal and then sometimes it will either blink the screen then hang then reset, or will show up with a " unexpected stop error com.android. blah blah" and will drop my cell coverage and then get the reception back then come up with the same error.. this will continue till i force a hard reset again.. its damn annoying
I'm using the Australian ROM...is very stable. Haven't experienced any random freezes or crashes. Try reflashing your phone.

[Q] With Darky's Rom 9.3 beta1 I can't receive calls anymore

Hi Folks,
yesterday I flashed my SGS (former stock 2.1) with Darkys Rom 9.3 beta1.
It seemed as everything is fine till today.
My wife tried to call me an I shortly saw her number, it vibrated shortly, the my SGS lost connect to the signal an the call was gone to the mailbox.
This happened all the time in 3G-Mode.
I tried it in GSM-Mode an an incoming call was not shown, it went directly to the mailbox without any signal at the phone.
My SGS doesn't even show who called, it's just all gone.
I don't know whats wrong.
I took a look in all the option they can be responsible for that an I didn't find anything that would say my phone to loose radio when a call comes in.
Maybe anyone has an idea and can help me.
Cheers,
Dirk
A Clue .
BETA = unfinished released for testing purposes so users can report back bugs .

you should flash back to 2.2.1 first as 9.3 is not for 2.1 its froyo based not eclair use 3 button combo and use odin to restore stock then again use odin to flash CF-Root-XX_XEU_JPY-v1.3-BusyBox-1.17.1.tar which works with XWJS5 which is latest rom then go to market download rom manager install cwm with this and trie again with darkys good luck
Ok, tried to flash the 9.2 first and the 9.3 beta1 after it and it didn't work.
I had to make a factory-reset to make it work again.
Now I'm flashing the 9.3 again.
Just in case anyone else has the same problems, it only works with a factory-reset.
Thanks to everybody who tried to help
Cheers,
Dirk

[Q] Please Help. 3 Day old SGS behaving very strangely

Hello everybody.
I am having serious trouble with my phone and I was hoping some of you might be able to help me out.
I just bought my SGS 3 days ago. It came with android 2.1.1 eclair installed.
I had read that that version was not the best ( the first thing I saw when I opened the phone actually was an error screen, and the lag was horrible) so when I got home I decided to try and upgrade it using the official software for it (Kies).
Unfortunately Kies would simply disconnect my phone when I told it to upgrade, after which it would ask me to upgrade again >.>
So I decided to use Odin to flash one of the newer 2.2.1 versions.
I flashed a 'JS3' version with a repartition to 803 pit , but it crashed after rebooting with the dbdata error (which as I learned later was caused by not flashing a full firmware).
I flashed JPU after which worked great. It was fast and responsive.
However my phone kept crashing. Whether on standby, using apps, or just trying to dial a number, it would freeze, start vibrating, and sometime reset, other times just stay frozen until I force shut down it from the power button.
I flashed JS5 afterwards, with full cache clearing, factory reset etc. Still crashed.
Then I tried flashing Darky's 9.2 Ressurection. Loved it but I couldn't even set up my google account because it crashed constantly.
Then I went back to what I believe is the current official version for my location and carrier (Vodafone Romania), JP9 .
After flashing it didn't crash, but after a while (one night), it started crashing like crazy, even wound up with weird gray lines and a freeze in the morning.
I was hoping someone here might know what is wrong with it. I already sent it back to be serviced but I am thinking maybe I broke it somehow and would like to know how so I don't do it again.
The phone is network locked, which I later learned is usually a bad thing for flashing, unfortunately I didn't know about that when I started.
well first of you want to remove the network lock so try these:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=761045
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=913681
next step is to register on www.samfirmware.com (its free) and here is where you will get all the latest official firmwares from samsung..
what you want to do is download (XWJS5) with all 3 files and PIT and flash that through odin with RE-PARTITION..
Before you do that, put your phone into recovery mode (volume up + Home button + Power button ) and do a factory reset / wipe cache ect...
so when you have done that and flashed the new firmware. let me know what the outcome is..
another thing.. ALWAYS MAKE SURE KIES IS CLOSED.... EVEN IN THE ICON TRAY... AND MAKE SURE DRIVERS ARE UP TO DATE.
other than that you shouldn't have any problems
hi, thanks for the advice.
I already did most of that however. I did a factory reset numerous times, and I also did a full repartition flash more than once, to no avail.
I am waiting to get it back from warranty service now but I am wondering what went wrong.
Was it broken when I bought it or did I damage it somehow by trying to flash it while network locked ?
flashing with network lock wouldnt make everything force close. the worst thing that could happen when flashing with network lock is not picking up a signal and possible IMEI corruption.
i think you may have just flashed the wrong ROM, it happens to us all, but the more you do it the more experienced you become and you soon learn methods to restore things..
dont worry too much it will be fine when it comes back from samsung, just be sure to read up properly if you have any doubts.. or ask a question first you will get a reply quicker than you can Unbrick your phone..
My phone seems to hate the 803 pit file. Lots of force closes when I used it. Try using 512, see if that works any better.

[Q] My most interesting problem ever

Hy everyone!
I have found a very interesting problem regarding my kaiser130 and android...or maybe the problem is in the user?
Anyhow my problem is that no matter which android build i try,no matter which kernel and which radio i dont have working wifi and data connection.
At first everything worked fine but then i had some problems and i didnt have time to fiddle around with android because it wasnt too stable and i had many FC-s so i had to go back to winmo.I had 6.1 on it before,have put on hardspl3.34 then started flashing android and after that i put back winmo from a shipped package with ruu . Now i have more time and i started to experiment with android again.I wanted to use cyanogenmod 6.1.2 but had the wifi-error problem but as i saw many other people had the same so i thought i'd go back to another build,namely incubus26jc's super froyo rls16 i used that for days but then when i had to use the apn or wifi it didnt work...or actually wifi worked but only with static ip,i tried switching kernels from a base one downloaded with atools to clemsyns and scoots but nothing worked for me better yet it even got worse it started producing the wifi-error again.I use the most recent radio tried both the emo version and the atw to no success tried installing both to nand sys on nand data ext2 data.img but nothing seems to be working and now no matter which build i try everytime i get the wifi-error and apn isnt working.Can it be that my bootloader is tarting to fail?Or is my kernel getting corrupted?
Oh and i always applied the appropriate module updates for each kernel.
Can somebudy suggest something useful or i was thinking that is it possible to very hard reset the phone i mean to put it back the way it was?Format the nand put back a normal spl,i dont mind trying thing again but i need the data connection and the wifi.
Oh and i forgot to mention the most interesting thing,when i turn on data it actually turns on and in the modem i can see that it even gets an ip address from my phone provider.

[Q] unable to get data connection

Hi guys,
I'm being annoyed by my SGS about his data connection. Hope someone could help me!
Few days ago I flashed MIUI Mintberry 2.1.20 and everything was working like a charm, but this morning data connection switch failed several times.
I've tried to wipe everything, re-flash Mintberry and even to flash JVU stock with Odin, but I still can't switch on my data connection.
I can't even see any icon on the status bar.
Any idea? Is my phone broken?

Hmm this is strange, so you turned data on but theres no symbol, right? Have you tried installing another kernel (maybe also applying the Kernel Cleaning Script)?
I' ve tried everything with Odin, and at the moment I have a beautiful black screen of death.
Odin cannot recognize my phone... I'm very frustrated
EDIT: Upgrading Kies'drivers, I managed to connect the phone with Odin again, so I've flashed the lastest official stock firmware to check my antennas. In the worst case, I'll be able to go to the shop for assistance without problems.
Have u tried typin ur apn maually?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
Sounds like a settings issue. Never heard of anyone have this problem before - I've flashed every version of mintberry including betas.
I just had this issue
I just had this and figured out what is wrong, its a easy fix too! Just go to settings and wireless and change the access point for your mobile connection. I had 2 access points and just switched it to the other one and my data started working again!
Hope I could help
Hi guys! thank you for all these answers!
I've tried to set APN manually, to change custom ROM and custom kernels and coming back to stock too, but still no data connection icon (neither data connection itself).
At the moment, I'm on JVO, the latest official italian firmware, everything is fine but 3g data connection.
Other ideas? Shall i need of Samsung customer service (I hope no!)?
Solved...
MIUI default settings fault: SMS notification has ran out my money and my provider has blocked 3g connection.
My phone is safe!
