[Q] Mobile network not available..? - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, I bought of a friend a Samsung galaxy s and he said it needs only unlocking,so i "think" i unlocked it successfully.Was putting a O2 Simcard in and in applications i was having then the o2 SIM Toolkit.
But when i tried to make an phonecall, he tells me "Mobile Network not available",so i went to settings and wireless and network and tried to choose an network operator but he tells me then " Unable to connect to this network at this time.Please try again later."
What can I do?

Did you check the APNs?

Please first check if your IMEI is intact. If it is, flash a different MODEM and see if it works. If it's not, flash a fresh ROM using ODIN and that should hopefully restore your efs.

At first thanks for the reply, but now what is a APN? And how do i know if my IMEI is intact?
Sry,am a newbie

For you IMEI you should check your original SGS Box's sticker. There should be you IMEI number printed on. If you dial *#06# you should be able to read your IMEI. --> Look if it is the same as on your box
for apn settings. Apn is your connection settings, how your phone connects with the providers network. you have to check your mobile network settings if these are correct.

So, the IMEI nr is different then on the sticker,and the apn wasnt ticked,so I ticked the O2 and tried but still no mobile network.
Then i need to flash if I'm right?
I was already looking a bit around here about roms etc. But there are quite a few out there,so when you say to flash a fresh rom,which actually do I need to use?
Thank you

Hi again,
because the imei wasn't the same, I flashed it with a new rom (actually two different ones)
But still after both flashes I still don't got my old imei and still no mobile network available. After the one flash with I9000XXJPU he didn't said anymore no mobile network available,instead he said no data network available.
It would be nice if somebody would have some advice or help.
Thanks

hey! don't panic, i have had the the same problem
just download darky's resurrection edition in the development section and flash it. it should bring you back to froyo 2.2.1 and should also restore your imei properly. after this procedure you are free to flash any rom you want

Flash back to 2.2.1
Check imei
Continue on..
Also the problem you had when flashed JPU sounds like you didnt have your APNs correct..thats why the "no data network available"

No Network
Hi!
I have the same problem.
Network is fine (i switched the SIM-Card into different phones), but my SGS GT I-9000 does not connect / find to any network.
I am running Darky`s ROM 4.0.4 v11.0 Black Edition with 3.0.17-Semaphore_ICS_1.2.5s.
Also, the phone says on screen the name of my network provider (COSMOTE), but no signal.
What now?

[Q] Can't connect to mobile network

Hello,
I've got a Galaxy Note, which a mate gave to me, because he has the new Note 2 now.
He said that he has some network problems (he has two times vodafone.cz), but didn't say anything in detail. So I thought the problem would be solved with flashing another rom, like CM 9.1. He already had the stock 4.0.4 and I read that I have to flash back to GB before flashing to CM 9.1.
At first I made a backup of the efs folder with kTool. After that I flashed the LC1 version of GB (3 parts, open Europe) but with this flashing process, I lost my IMEI ! So I wanted to restore the efs folder with kTool again, but it didn't work for me, I still had no IMEI.
I thought that the structure of the efs folder could have changed from 3.6 to 4.0.4 and that this would be the reason why I can't restore the efs folder. Therefore I flashed back to a Samsung stock rom of Android 4.0.4 (N7000XXLRG_N7000DBTLRG_DBT).
And then the surprise: I had my IMEI back, without restoring the efs folder!
This just was the background. Now to my problem: I still can't connect to the mobile network. In the notification bar is written "emergency calls only" (I don't know if it is translated on the right way, because I'm from germany). If I go to the network settings and search for mobile networks, I find all the networks I reach in my area, o2-de as well, which is my favourite network. But if I want to register to the network, it takes a while and then it says: Registration failed. And after that, I also can't make emergency calls, there is written "No service"
All in all my question is: Why am I able to find networks, but can't register to my one? I also tested it with other SIM-cards from other providers, but it still does not work..
I hope anyone of you has a solution for my issue.
greetings
Senfy
Edit: My IMEI begins with 359, so it should not be a developer IMEI
May be it has network lock. Have you tried apps like galaxy s unlock from the play store.
I tested it now, but everytime I want to unlock my phone, I loose my IMEI and I have to restore the efs folder..
But if I open Galaxsim Unlock, it says my device isn't locked.. so this seems to be not the solution..
Now I flashed to CM 9.1 with the hope to solve this problem.. CM 9.1 works, but I still can not register to my network... has anyone another idea how to solve this problem ??
Are you check an eyes in code or test menu ?
Go in dialer and tape
*#0011#
Then use menu and back in menu to come on general and check in different menu(debug)
I'm sorry I don't understand you. If I dial this code nothing happens. I also searched for this code (google) but without any result.
maybe you could post a link with an exact description how to do what you mean..
But thanks for your effort.
Now I wanted to flash another modem.. but everytime I want to flash it, I lose my IMEI !
The only way to get my IMEI back is to flash back to N7000XXLRG_N7000DBTLRG_DBT ...
I don't know what to do next.. I would be glad if someone could help me..
Edit: What I forgot to tell you: The reception of emergency calls goes up and down over the time.. maybe someone of you can conclude anything out of this information..
Doesn't anyone have an idea how to solve this problem?
how are you flashing the modem? tried mobile odin?
I flashed the whole GB (3 parts) with PC Odin and the actuall modem with mobile Odin but with no success..
Where is da solution 2 no network after update

have you checked that you have the correct settings for the network you want to use and also check that you have a valid IMEI number

Yes, the phone is shows the network, but when you try to select it, it says unable to connect.
I just checked there, and the IMEI number is valid
The files are in the right place, so nothing wrong there. Is wifi working?

Yep, but wifi is the only thing thats working. No data or mobile network, no GPRS either
Which network are you with and what settings do you have in APN ?
Would recommend ...flashing Rom and Re-Rooting*
I am wondering if it's just something in the connection settings. When I went to Japan last year I had to fiddle with something in the settings before I could pick up signals. It was in mobile networks. I think you can select cdma or something like that.

Im with Go Conquer in Ireland, actually brought the phone to a shop to be unlocked, as it was Vodafone, but they said it already was unlocked. They have their settings up on their website so I have entered them.
I'm going to try putting it back to its original settings again, and rooting it again, do you think that might be it? Ill also try the cdma settings.
Thanks to you both
Follow my Guide below to flash Rom and then Root it
Why did you go to a shop to unlocked it ...theres apps on here free??
Did you manage to get it right again? I'm having the same issue as you do. I did a factory reset with cwm and now when I enter the sim card it doesnt connect to network or 3g. Wifi does work. I am on original rom 2.3.5 and I dont know what to do. I tried a other sim and that didnt work either. Please advice. Thank you.

Are you sure to have flashed ROM with proper CSC bandwidth for the region where you live?
Hi,
Thank you all for replying! For some unknown reason the phone works. I left it a day off and then I powered it up again and it worked. So I dont know how but thank you guys for replying!

[Q] Flashed GTi9000 back to Stock ROM- SIM not recognized

Hi,
I have restored my GT i9000 s back to stock ROM using the instructions on XDA and on the Droidangel website and everything is as described except the SIM is not recognized.
In 'About phone', 'Status' the Network is "unknown" and the Phone number is "unknown".
Signal strength, mobile network and IMEI is present but "Mobile network state" is 'Disconnected'.
I have an assumption that it may be because originally the phone Network was Vodafone however now I am with Tesco/O2 (the Tesco SIM worked OK before restoring back to stock ROM). I currently don't have another SIM on a different network to test it but given the information above are you able to offer any advice please?
Thanks in advance.
FIXED
I rooted it and used the Unlock Galaxy S App from Google Play

[Q] i9305 Not registering to networks?

A friend of mine gave me a S3 to play with and said i can have it if i can get it to work.
Now he doesnt know the original network that it came on or what the original firmware version was.
Before i even tried to get a sim card to work i unlocked it using the hidden menu with sha256 etc.
Now when i put in a sim card it doesnt register to a network, I am in the UK and have tried Three, GiffGaff and T-mobile sims as they are what i have and none of the register to network.
I have a couple of bars signal and the phone says "emergency calls only".
The IEMI seems fine and I have backed up the NV data using QPST and EFS Professional
Device Details
GT-i9305
Android verison 4.3
Baseband Version - I9305XXUEML1
Kernal Version - 3.0.31-2051278
Build Number - JSS15J.I9305XXUEML9
What would be the next step to try?
Have you considered that it may be blacklisted...
I wouldnt have thought so, It worked before when he used to use it ages ago, hes had a few phones since.
He messed around with it quite a lot and has changed the firmware/modems and what have you so much he doesnt know what he has done with it so i presume that its just not set up right.
So anybody got any ideas?
Flash a UK stock rom read the network imei efs stickied posts and work your way through them .
Try your carrier's guide of setting up the correct vpn.

i9305 no mobile signal..what else can i try ?

I Have had this i9305 now without mobile signal, with a vodaphone it did used to show signal but in all cases it always says 'no mobile networks' or 'not registered on network' i have tried with every sim i can think of... it was suggested to flash a stock rom which i did..this made no difference, i then tried installing CM11 and followed the guide to the letter.
I know this phone is not blacklisted as i checked with the imei, i have tried flashing different modems but to be honest im not sure what i am flashing to it..i have tried three different ones now starting with XX as i am in uk...i really dont know if i have missed something or doing something drastically wrong..i have read and read and usualy i would have had this resolved by now...can anyone please help me as i want to give this handset to my girlfriend for a present very soon so we can keep in touch..i am at my wits end with it:crying:
Thanks
Try an emergency restore through Samsung Kies - this should eliminate any software related problem. Sounds to be a hardware problem though so get Triangleaway going and send it for repair if that doesn't work.
Flash 4.1.2, then enable and disable the LTE-only mode hack in the hidden service menu (the *#2263# one, not *#*#4636#*#*). (If you have root, you can also access that menu in 4.3 or even the 4.4.2 port, but it's a bit more involved.)

it won't let me do that as it doesn't list the phone as needing an emergency recovery. I flashed a stock rom and the signal is showing but it keeps saying not registered on network.. if I do a search it finds providers but when I opt for the provider of the sim it just perpetually spins at registering on network.

please start your own thread as it is not relevant to mine.
Someone's suggested this phone is barred.. I have run a check which says it's not blocked but it's been suggested that this is unreliable...I have bars showing but just never registered on network.
Does your IMEI reported in *#06# match the one printed under the battery?
