Have you solved the problem?

I have same problem. :(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veyka:
Do a factory reset, wipe data and cache from CWM recovery if you have it, or flash a new rom. (Backup anything you dont want to lose).

Hi! i experienced this issue with my Samsung Galaxy S2 after flashing ICS rom. It's weird as well that when I transfer the sim to different phone and place it back again to my phone then it works but the moment I reboot my phone then I will get the same issue...

Same problem

Same problem right here about a month in to using CM7 :(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dix_huit:
Going round in circles...

I've now tried all sorts.

Wipe caches, factory reset, different kernels, different modems, new SIM card, battery & SIM out, reboot, chec ed if phone is barred, checked if IMEI has changed, all sorts....

Still no luck.

Can anyone help?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robertostefanini:
I found out what the problem is.

The same thing happened to me.

Emergency calls only, couldn't connect to a network, out of service state, IMEI was fine.

I went to the network operator that sold me the phone, and they scanned my phones barcode and told me the phone is blacklisted.

Go to your network operator and check if this is the case. I'm 99% sure that it will be. You ought to be able to unblacklist the phone
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Sadly 99% of those with a problem have not a blacklisted IMEI they just broke the EFS and never bothered to read the fAQS and GUIDES .

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rimty:

IMEI is fine.

How to fix?????
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
And have you both asked your carrier if the phone is IMEI blocked & absolutely positively 100% ruled out a carrier side problem ? (Given a lot of these problems tend to be carrier side one way or another).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devitrified:
ritioon company

There is nothing wrong with the card. The card works fine on a another phone. Vice-versa taking out a card from a working phone and inserting it into the one with emergency calls only will get the same restriction.

Just for reference i got into this problem a few minutes after flashing an xperia tipo to MIUI build 4. As far as i can tell no one has a solution for this yet. People who managed to get it solved found themselves lucky enough by just re-inserting their sim card. Unfortunately that luck wasn't for everyone.

Also efs doesn't seem to be used by every model/phone.

Hi

Friends i am out of station from the past 5 months

when i want to update my custom rom [presently on CM7 6.5.7]

can any one suggest me the i have to stay in old base band or to Upgrade?

if upgrade can any one give me the link of upgradation of base band.....

If you are on oldBaseband it means you DID NOT upgrade on OFFICIAL firmaware (2.3.3) so don't care about baseband because Mik's ROM are 4 old baseband..

Hey guys!

Does anyone know why the data lights on AT&T Galaxy S2 continue to blink periodically when I'm using nothing that should use data?...

Do you guys think it could be caused by Social Hub, and Email running (in which I force close and they keep coming back) (I'm so not trying to root just yet, wanna hold out at least a month, LOL) without me using them, or what?...

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] foxbat121:
If you don't want those background data transfer, you can turn it off:

Settings-.Acounts and sync->uncheck Background data and uncheck sync as well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Stixho:
Thanks for the reply, but that was the FIRST thing I did, LOL

I have everything turned off, no automatic updates, nothing. But that dang send arrow keeps lighting, then the receive arrow follows!!!

I might just have to root before I want to, once I rooted my old cappy I was able to address all of these type of issues. Plus my battery life approved. :-)

But there has to be some reason those lights keep lighting without 'A Good Ole Root' being the only way to solve the problem.

After 6 months the Atrix gets to Europe (maybe was already in UK) and is priced 15% above the SGS2. Do Moto predict healthy sales at this price point, I'm wondering?
[Atrix 4G General] turl1:

SGS II: http://www.best-mobile-contracts.co.uk/phones/Samsung-Galaxy-S-II.aspx#tab=SimFree

Bottomline: The SGS II is more expensive. I'd blame whatever carrier you checked with :)

Also in Spain, Atrix costs less than SGS II

Dear friends,

I just rooted and installed the cw recovery in my newly bought ASUS TF. The current version is 8.4.4.11, 3.1. Then how can I update my machine to V8.6.5.9, 3.2 without wipe?

Thank you very much!

:):confused:
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cavsoldier19d:
Depending on which rooting method you used, if you read the root thread, it will advise you to update to the latest firmware for your model before rooting. You won't be able to update to the latest firmware after rooting and installing cwm recovery because the update will fail. You will need to return back to full unrooted stock with no cwm recovery, then update to the latest firmware, then reroot. PM me for instructions on how to return to stock.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckuke4:
I have seen this a few times, you do not have to return to stock to update your firmware. A couple of nice people have made the update compatible with CWM and you just have to put the zip on your SD card and install it from CWM. Here's the links to go to .9 and .13 Cheers.

[Samsung Mesmerize] tecknogod:
I ran into the same exact problem. Ntelos is absolutely no help either. I spent hours on the phone with them and even went to the store and nothing. The worst part of it all was they were trying to tell me it wasnt there freaking phone and its a verizon phone. I told them to go f*** themselves for completely abandoning their own equiptment and their customer. Needless to say I wont be an Ntelos customer for much longe :)

Try this: Install ADW.Launcher and long press on the homescreen to make a custom shortcut

ADW -> Custom Shortcut -> Pick your Activity -> Activities -> com.android.hiddenmenu -> DATA(.DEBUGMENU)

Then switch the HDR/1x setting down to cdma only, exit the menu, wait, do the same with edvo

You should get connection is a few seconds

Go back in and switch to hybrid to get 3G data mode again.

This ROM works for the ntelos showcase also http://rootzwiki.com/showthread.php?6334-ROM-10-16-11-EH09-Awesome-Sauce-Rom-v9.2.1-Yummy-Goodness!. Make sure your on the eh09 generic build first.

no data

Do you know what they did exactly that fixed it? Ive been in the same boat with my ntelos showcase for almost a year now. It really really sucks! But im locked into a contract and cant afford to buy another decent phone so im screwed. Maybe you can make an odin or nandroid backup or something of your phone and I can flash it onto my evil pos? lemme know man!
[Samsung Mesmerize] nikeman513:
Techno, I was a sales rep for ntelos for a year. Take your phone in for repair and be with a loaner for a couple weeks. You shouldn't have has to deal with this for a year man. Since its just software you don't have to worry about being charged. Just tell them it won't connect to data and you want to send it for repair. Don't tell them its rooted, let the techies that will fix it in hburg figure it out and they will just fix it.

Hello everyone,

Im running 2.3.2 on r800x and I found a download source for the Sony Ericsson Update Service (SEUS) posted at end of my post.

Im not able to update to 2.3.3 through this service. I have tried to flash 2.3.2 fullstock .ftf from the State of Development thread, and I didnt re-root or add any mods after the flash. SEUS still says my phone is up to date. It has an option to re-install system incase of problems, I went through the process and I still end up with 2.3.2 .

Is there some way to update r800x with unlocked bootloader to 2.3.3 using SEUS?

SEUS Download: http://dl-www.sonyericsson.com/cws/download/1/110/61/1315209439/Update_Service_Setup-2.11.9.6.exe
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Leraeniesh:
SEUS is not supported with the R800x on Vanilla Android.

It hasent been tested using Timescape UI though.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droiddrums:
SEUS will still update the r800x firmware. Thus updating the phone. It will download the 2.3.2 firmware and install it on my phone.

If I can find someone who has an r800x on verizon with 2.3.3 , then they can use SEUS and "repair update" and it would download 2.3.3 firmware. You can then decrypt the firmware files with flashtool and make a flashable flashtool file.

Blagus told me all of this, so im sure it would work.

I have a r800x running android 2.3.2 and using a different carrier.

Can i install custom roms on my phone after unlocking the bootloader?

My phone doesn't seem to go into recovery mode.

Any help (at least for recovery mode) will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.:o
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] netizenmt:
You have to install recovery. On the locked bootloader, you can download, install and run Xperia CWM Auto-installer. On the unlocked bootloader, most of the custom kernels have recovery built into them. Read the directions for the version you choose to determine how to enter recovery mode. It is always highly recommended to make a nandroid backup before modifying the rom in any way.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] run4jit:
Sorry, i didn't mention that my phone is not going into recovery mode even with Xperia CWM Auto-installer installed from google play. I tried everything from pressing and holding the volume down button to pressing it at intervals. I don't understand is it my phone or am i doing something wrong here?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Solar.Plexus:
Try rebooting into recovery from inside the CWM Auto-installer app.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] run4jit:
Well, i tried that too :(

Nothing works for me!

I think it has something to do with the newly replaced files in bin and xbin folder to be associated with a proper owner, in this case it would be busybox. The problem is when i try to change the owner there is no "busybox"name in the list provided.

Also, i have found that when i re-install busybox, i can't change permissions of the files. I have to re-install Xperia CWM auto-installer for just getting owner and/or permission changing rights to these files. Hence, i'm stuck in this cycle! I'll post this in the thread related to Xperia CWM auto-installer too! Let me see if i get any help from the dev himself :o

Here is a link to the r800x 2.3.3 full FTF file :) should solve your problems

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/31716947/R800x_3.0.1.E.0.88_Verizon.ftf

Since your bootloader is unlocked, to re-root 2.3.3 ( and root 2.3.4 as well ) just boot into recovery and instal the SuperUser.zip

http://downloads.androidsu.com/superuser/Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip

After flashing this, your phone may want to start downloading the 2.3.4 update, but you can delete the app that manages OTA updates, If you unlocked your bootloader a while back then make sure to contact Alejandissimo so he can perform his new method for OTA updating on unlocked bootloaders, if you do not have his newer method performed then the 2.3.4 OTA will brick your device and you will need Alejandrissimos help no matter what at that point.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ozzmanj1:
216Monster, I had my bootloade unlocked last summer via unlock code and was wondering if the new method you metioned that Alejandrissimo uses would work on my phone to make so I can OTA? Not a bog deal as 2 thins come to mind:

2. This is more of a curiosity question......
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 216Monster:

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] run4jit:

so is there like a hardware limit or why could that be?

6mb/s write and

15mb/s read.

its a kingston class 10 vs sandisk class 2.

with a class 4 vs 2 i could underatand it but this is supposed to be a class 10 which should have about 10mb/s write speed according to wikipedia. that would almost be double the speed that i get...
[LG Optimus 2x] aksolanki:
Hi, with my 16GB Class 10 card I get these speeds;

[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
I have a Samsung Plus 16GB Class 10 and get:

According to SD Tools: 12.4MB/s write and 17.2 MB/s read.

According to AnTuTu: 11.3 MB/s write and 14.7 MB/s read.
[LG Optimus 2x] TrymHansen:
16GB Sandisk Class 10 (Antutu 2.3.1, 2nd run.)

10.4 MB/s Read

10.0 MB/s Write

The card has 12.4 GB on it of real data before testing.

This is on GR3, which I don't think has any "SD-Card optimization". (Too lazy to check.)

Keep in mind that we don't know, at least I don't, how Antutu tests. If it's testing with a lot of independent reads/writes, the speed will invariably go down. (If copying a single large file from my computer, I get a much higher throughput.)

"Class 10" should only mean that your card is able to sustain 10MB/s of continuous writes, it doesn't say anything about access times/block erase speed (which can influence any benchmark.)
[LG Optimus 2x] aksolanki:
Hi TrymHansen, there is a free app called SD Tools which does nothing but test SD card speeds.

Edit:

FOR ANYBODY ELSE READING THIS THREAD:

The class rating of a card indicates the minimum speed the card will write at. Class 10 = 10 MB/s write speed. Read speeds are usually higher than write speeds.

Anil
[LG Optimus 2x] TrymHansen:
Excuse me for being dense, but I don't get the point of your post. I explained in my post what Class 10 means, and then you post as if I asked what class 10 means.
[LG Optimus 2x] aksolanki:
My post wasn't only for you. The first part about SD Tools pertains to you. And anyway your post is incorrect, the Class rating indicates the MINIMUM speed the card will write at. Which isn't the same as a sustained speed.

Anil
[LG Optimus 2x] TrymHansen:
So even though Rusty already has measured his card with SD Tools:

... you somehow assume I cannot possibly have read that, and strongly feel I should be singled out for a recommendation of an app EVERYBODY on XDA knows about. For that dedication I thank you.

My post is not incorrect. I'm saying exactly the same thing you did in the post following mine using different wording.

Anyway, I'm not about to start a flamewar with you. Thanks for the input, now lets go do something constructive.
[LG Optimus 2x] aksolanki:
Hi TryHansen, I'm not sure why you are taking this personally. But I offer my apologies if I offended you.
