No SIM card

Hey guys,

I upgraded from froyo to MIUI and in short got: No SIM card. Tried to switch to this ROM and was unable to do so from recovery to v14 and was able only to v11. So everything booted up fine, but the problem is there. No SIM card...:confused::(,

Any ideas are greatly appreciated!

I just switched from froyo from Ultimate 8.2 and have czech carrier, if thats got something to do with it.

Thanks a lot in advance!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] SaneinOne:
This has been a previously reported issue of some.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] SaneinOne:
That's exactly what I said.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] SaneinOne:
Sounds like an IMEI issue.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
This is just a wild idea, I am probably totally wrong, but while I was sleeping the CyanogenMod Fairy came to me in a dream, and suggested you look for your lost SD card in the emmc directory.

I know, it was probably due to the ravaging, bloodsoaked madness from my advanced case of syphilis....but you never know.

Also, she suggested you read the troubleshooting post or use search....and to beware wearing striped trousers in the shower on July 17th.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] vukandric:
Sim card, not sd card. :p :) Probably he messed up with efs backup.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
Ahhh...misread that....sorry. I warned you, it's the syphilis.

In that case I suggest he flash back to froyo then reinstall cm7 and flash the nightly from the 11th, steering clear of anything later than that for now...and still do the whole search thing and watch out about the trousers thing in July.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] James.q:
thanks! indeed I found my missing external SD card there, but as suggested I am also looking for my SIM card :). Nevertheless thank you for your reply and Ill try to do as you say.

btw. if I flash back to froyo, can I flash directly some rom? or do I have to go around somehow?

thanks again and Ill try to take care of the pants :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mpierce:
Do you have /mnt/emmc

Your external_sd folder is simply now a directory on your sdcard.

Look under settings / storage and see if /mnt/emmc is mounted if not you are not using your microsd card.

official appology

first of all, I would like to appologize to everybody for the SIM trouble, it was solved...

having said that, I can now with clear head say: well fuc. me twice I f...... put that thing (SIM) upside-down! and I was only able to find out after I nearly bricking it and later flashing back to 2.1 and it still wasnt working...

I am truly sorry guys and thanks for help!

but there is one thing I noticed. Even when on 2.1 It still is not able to see the external_sd. I mean it sees it, but it only shows one directory (DCIM) and that is pretty much epmty. But the phone itself sees the card.. hmmm.

Ill crawl my way back up to CM7 and will be allright I guess :)

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kenkiller:
You HAVE a choice.

Don't use CM7. Simple as that. It will NEVER BE IMPLEMENTED ON CM7.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] //RF:
Imo everyone should just keep default kernel at the moment. It's stupid to use different kernels on unstable releases and giving (perhaps?) useless bugreports. Just my 10 inches :p
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
if you encounter an issue

just revert to stock kernel + nightly

and see if it occurs, too

if not -> custom kernel caused

otherwise:

report your issue

Easy, gpl license is only the kernel, the phone apk that Samsung uses is their own propperty and not open sourced.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jornbjorn:
Imo custom kernels are what will make this fine rom brilliant. Both glitch and zachy kernel make my phone smoother than anything i have ever tested. Ofcourse... Some people dont know what smooth is.... Just look at darky thread, lol.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
sure :)

CM7 == to empower users

I also see CM7 more of an power ROM

"new comers"/less experienced users -> everything stock should be enough

experienced users -> have choice between stock & custom stuff

@useless argument:

if everything that was deemed "useless" from the beginning

we now still would be living in caves with only fire got via lightening that struck e.g. into a tree

or didn't have treatments against all sorts of diseases and cancer

no one forces you to do and use things that are there

so who's spoilt for choice :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] //RF:
Certainly CM7 is a power ROM, but kernel definitely != CM7.

I was just saying that it's getting perhaps more difficult for developers when people are submitting bugs and they are not on default kernel. I think myself as a power user, have tried your kernels and couple of others, but still it's more important to me to use default one.

BTW, how many bugs/regressions you have fixed on kernel?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] eden1108:
What kernel do you have at that moment?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] opher50:
Problems Again :\ ... Same on MIUI - exact 2 things after i restart my phone:

1. all the settings went back to the stock one's ...

2. The lockscreen wont come up .. its just dissabled ...

those things made me go back to another rom which is much slower :\ Any solution?

(A hint maybe .. when I burned the odin rom that another guy gave me it Forced Closed every thing all the time .. is it connected?)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Vorbeth:
Find the 3 file JPU rom, flash it through Odin making sure to use a 512 pit file, and have repartition, update bootloader and clear efs checked.

That will restore your sgs back to a default froyo rom.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] FadeFx:
Please, NEVER EVER CHECK CLEAR EFS!!! This could render your phone useless... just check repartition, no need to check update bootloader either since it is included in the rom.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Vorbeth:
So long as you are flashing a stock rom clearing efs should be fine, its rebuilt on first boot.

Won't not checking update bootloader just skip it on stock roms? Even ezbase tells you to check it when going from 2.2 to 2.3 or back.

I maybe wrong just going on own experience.

Flash a ChainFire kernel which will give you CWM, su and busybox!

PS - there is a complete howto in the Samsung Galaxy S development section on how to do these things.

The boys get a little annoyed sometimes because people don't bother to help themselves. They merely ask the same questions over and over and over and over again! One of the reasons that the threads are so long and a little difficult to search.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] francomile:
You don't need to check it

If the rom comes with bootloaders it will load them anyway as said above.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kar200:
Just a quick one for the guys with the IMEI issue. Your might be different so read carefully.

First of all when I talk about the EFS folder I am not referring to the CM7 one (/efs) nor to the Samsung stock one (wherever it is). I only refer to the backup one which is in your SD card (/sdcard/backup/efs).

I just had the IMEI issue again. I got that one that starts with 004... For some reason Vodafone Australia allows 2g network and only not 3G but this is off topic.

I went to stock rom and back to CM7 and had the issue. I noticed that if you have stock rom and flash CM7 it actually checks something and reboots the phone if your recovery is the 2.x I think.

Basically what I did was .

Flash EZbase. Check and confirm that your IMEI is correct by using the dialer and (*#06#).

Delete (or rename) the /sdcard/backup folder (it has the efs in it).

Flash CM7 directly from the provided recovery in EZ base.

Phone will reboot once and carry on with the flashing. It will finish successfully and should have the correct IMEI.

For some reason if I have the /sdcard/backup folder the phone will go in a bootloop. If I stop that and go back to recovery and flash it will work but the IMEI gets corrputed.

hello guys, i am very happy with cyanogen mod r15 on my i9000, thanks you for your work,

but i miss one setting: block Unknow call (yes i hate when ppl call me with unknow number, so i block them)

Samsung roms have this setting (2.2.1 have this, i never tryed 2.3.x Samsung roms), in cyanogenmod you can only block numéro spécific.

If you have some free time maybe u can look at samsung source ?... (i'm not skilled enought :( )

thanks you very much again for your work.

Edit--

i also noticed alternative dialers can't mark missed call as read, i don't really know if it cyanogenmod fault...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mpierce:
I don't know what your version is since the latest night is #14.

You can get all kinds of paid and/or free call blockers from the market that will block unknown numbers.

Get dialer one it is superb and includes speed dial functionality.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jeanveupas:
oops, yes i am using #14.

The problem with call blockers apps is that they are running in background, din't like that, and these have delay before blocking the call.

I think, maybe wrong?, this option would have its place in the default black list , since is a small code addition to an existing function.

about missed call can't be marked as read by alternative dialer, I heard that it was gingerbread issue :(

ps: i'm using this one : https://market.android.com/details?id=com.movester.quickcontact&feature=search_result

"superb and includes speed dial functionality." =)

Lovely newbie, please respect developers masterpiece by reading the first post with all the concentration you have. Maybe you should also consider to jump in first with a release candidate. If you don't have the ability to use logcat please stay away from nighly releases.

For my part, I am waiting stout-heartedly for an RC, as I have not the time to flash 7 times per week.

Thumbs up for all devs involved here, I will donate one more time soon.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] saszseb:
No, you don't need to be root. If you are on XXJPU, flash Speemod kernel k13c using Odin or Heimdall in order to get CWM.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] saszseb:
There is no need to tick "Phone efs clear" and "Phone bootloader update".

Only put the 3 files and tick Re-Partition, Auto Reboot, F. Reset Time.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mpierce:
I put a call blocker on my GF's phone and you could allow it to drop the call and message then goes to voice mail or pickup and hang up to drop call and no message goes to voice mail. Either way, no ring on the phone and testing so it to be immediate. There is a feature to block calls in Cyanogen but you have to input a number to block.

Regardless of dialer, check settings in your launcher and Cyanogen as you can set missed call features in them, i.e., GO Launcher has this feature so assuming AWD might as well.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mpierce:
After that, you can flash ChainFire's kernel to get root phone, su and busybox:

CF-Root-XX_XEU_JPY-v1.3-BusyBox-1.17.1.tar

You flash the 3 files first, then let your phone boot up, then put it back into Download mode and flash CF kernel as PDA. That's it your phone will be restored.

There is a HOWTO near the top of the Samsung Galaxy S development forum page that explains everything.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
Lots of comments and issues about the thread and not cm7 over the last few hours, and as one of the biggest talkers here I feel a need to remind some of us of certain things.

1) It was predicted some weeks ago, the arrival of mainline and the publicity that went with it has brought lots of people who may not know/care about cm7 per se, but just want to try the new hotness and assume it is just another ROM. Guess what? THEEEYYYY'RRREEEEEE HHHHEEERRREEEEE. Some we will educate, some we will offend, some we will ignore....just like any forum. No big deal. Remember, the stupider the question the more fun we can have whingeing about it so carry on.

2) Due to this massive influx some of the core truths about cm7 are not as widely known anymore...this is an EXPERIMENTAL mod. If you panic at bootloops or need constant reassurence that you are not bricking your phone, cm7 is not for you. Really. If rom and kernel flashing makes you nervous and jumpy, move on. You will not like cm7 and the cm7 community will not like you...and we get snarky about it. Better for all if you find a ROM that suits you. However if you ARE a mad gearhead who loves to tinker with their gadgets and understands that learning only comes from setbacks, but that just sweetens success....welcome home.

3) There is a limit to how simple cm7 can and should become. An easy install is a great thing but the people saying that custom kernels should be avoided because they may be unstable and confuse noobs have missed the point. Every damn nightly is inherently unstable! We dance on the bricking edge. Also, the custom kernels are where future improvements and wild new possibilities are tested for submission to cm7. We need them for growth. I say that new users should be REQUIRED to try out custom kernels. Use stock for awhile, then try platypus for a day, then glitch...see what is different, see how they work, submit reports, keep what you like...next versions do it all again. If they mess up your phone, that is excellent. Now you can learn how to get out of it. Stock in cm7 is great, but so are the custom kernels...learn about them all.

4) The people panicking over having to run third party apps to get some functionality they miss from the Samsung ROMs have forgotten how android works. The Samsung dialer, or camera? Those are just apps run in a virtual machine...same as the third party apps. Nothing is "built in" as on feature phones, everything runs in the application layer, they just seem to be built in, so don't worry. If the app is good it will not decrease your performance any more than the Samsung versions did.

5) Lastly this forum has many voices. Sometimes we are serious, sometimes we screw around. This is a community and we are enjoying what we are doing so that is going to happen. Join in to both sides. You may even find that you learn more from the supposed nonsense then you do from yet another logcat.

Oh, and if we tweak and mock you a bit, laugh it off and join in to the banter...you will live longer, have better sex and enjoy cm7 more that way.

That was all my two cents...feel free to ignore.

By the way, I love you all.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sambwel:
Just want to say I'm running #14 w/zach's NEO3 and it works great.

Whenever I install a new kernel though, I always use the cleaning script first. If anyone else wants to try stuff like that, I suggest reading all the instructions etc carefully first and taking care to backup. I do and even though I only installed CM7 for the first time a few days ago, I'm getting along fine :)
