similar problem, share some of my troubleshooting progress:

this is the radio log for a successful registration on Tele2 network using a tele2 sim:

But a "generic_failure" does not tell a lot, I digged more into some RIL related topic and still unclear what it actually means
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Frederick84-lb:
@solarj, the network registration failure is an HLR issue: your IMSI might be no more available or blocked at your operator's HLR [FORBIDDEN/255]

On the other hand, the calling capability might be also referred to the phone's modem, Especially that the SIM is working in other phones...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] solarj:
I think the log saying that I was trying to register on AVAILABLE operator, not FORBIDDEN one, and the fact that the same SIM work flawlessly in other phones ruled out the possibility that my operator blocked the IMSI number

Another guess is that when I have been to abroad last month, the SIM is rejected by the local operator, and for some reason, the rejection information was stored some where in the phone, so that even when I back home it still read that rejection message and get error without sending out any real request (the error message appears immediately after I tap to select the home operator)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muhamadasim:
I think I got it all sorted guys. I took my phone to a shop and there, after some of their effort, they told me that my imei is blocked by the network. The best guess is that I bought a stolen phone. WTH!!! We all need to check status of our respective imei with the network operator.

---------- Post added at 01:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:13 AM ----------

P.S. is there a way to change imei number? Just in case I don't wanna lose the 600USD I spent on buying it
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Frederick84-lb:
[A] Emergency calls only

@muhamadasim

Avoid messinng with the IMEI....you will be blocked again by the operator and you will get into security breach stuff etc...

The IMEI in your case is supposedly blacklisted, and this can sure be worked out with the operator
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muhamadasim:
Ya I think so too. But out of curiosity, if you change it to the imei of another old phone, how it will then be detected?. There is a way to change it to any number u want.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Frederick84-lb:
Usually, operators have history of phone IMEIs and of mobile numbers owners of those IMEIs. They use them for automatic sending of device settings for VAS, but they can serve also for other purposes...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sxi200:
Just wondering, checking your other thread you say you bought the phone from the UK, why would it be blocked in Pakistan?

Sent from my GT-I9100
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] solarj:
Please double check with your operator that your IMEI number is really blocked, in my case it also appears that my IMEI is blocked by the home operator, but the answer I get from them is no, and my phone works well with other operators

You can not be sure it is blocked, unless you can see this message in the radio log: ILLEGAL_SIM_OR_ME. Some one posted this before.

If you are really unlucky and it is a stolen phone, then the best hope is to delete the EFS folder and let telephone generate a dummy IMEI, Backup EFS first
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muhamadasim:
Yup you're right. I wrote it cuz my phone was O2 branded with a UK firmware n originally sourced from there. Most of the phones come to this part of the world through UK channel. I bought it from a local shop though.

---------- Post added at 11:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:21 AM ----------

Thanks. I was browsing n found I link to sptbox by d3x team for changing imei. Never used it before. Any experience with that?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sxi200:
Just a word of warning, changing imei is not only illegal but talking about ways to do it here could get you in trouble.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robertostefanini:
Found problem out

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] naith_kk:
I had upgraded to Official ICS 4.0.3, phone IMEI is not corrupted, the phone itself is not blacklisted, but I too encountered the problem of "Emergency Calls Only" on every phone startup because I have SIM card lock enabled and the SIM card lock screen does not display during phone startup (only appearing sometimes when I wake the phone from a screen timeout) - this problem never happened with GingerBread 2.3.6, but I managed to solve this problem:

Settings | Security | Screen Lock

Do not choose "None". The moment I chose another lock method (Slider for my case), my SIM card lock appears as the first thing - after every reboot. A bug on ICS maybe?

Hi guys, I am running the latest nightlys and my fiance noticed that she can not watch videos from Facebook. So I tried and it keeps telling me I need to install flash... Is there a way to get the videos to Play on the Xoom from Facebook? We dont use any FB Apps, we just log in using the browser and/or Dolphin HD....

Thanks in advance

[Droid Incredible General] Relapsable:
ok guys, so today i will be bringing you guys a video of my Rooted Droid incredible and i will be running a Game Lag Test for you

I am using the Liberated v3.0 Custom ROM and Stock HTC Kernal

(if you guys can recomend a good Custom kernal for little as possible lag, good connection, and good battery life, it would be greatly appreciated)

ok guys so tell me what you think :)

[Droid Incredible General] dymmeh:
Looks pretty awful as far as lag goes. If there was a free version of NFS I'd try it out as a comparison but unfortunately $10 is way too much.

I've never been happy with any Sense based ROM. Always slow and atrocious battery life. CyanogenMod for me. Much smoother and more customizable. If you want to stick with Sense I really can't give a good recommendation. The day I left Sense for CM I never once looked back.
[Droid Incredible General] Alton (Halo 2):
Wat are u using to capture this ?
[Droid Incredible General] pete_kowalski83:
That's interesting, I actually prefer sense. Cm actually had worse batt life on my phone anytime I used it in comparison. I would suggest using the ultimateinc Rom 1.1. I've had my phone on with light use using tinys kernel since 8 this morning, It's 630p right now, and its at 70%. I would say that's great batt life.
[Droid Incredible General] jaykresge:
This. Are you using an app on the device? It looks like you are, and that alone will slow it down horribly.

I'm a previous Incredible owner and I am actually the developer of the ROM you're using. NFS Shift ran just fine on mine.
[Droid Incredible General] dymmeh:
The app is Screencast

[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:
Currently, I keep my phone on vibrate most of the time. However, some people send me way too many texts which can be annoying. Is there a way to silence the vibration for certain contacts? I don't want to block their texts, I just don't want my phone to vibrate for those select contacts.
[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:
Bump... bump...
[Motorola Photon 4G] TheChronicDroid:
idk about for individuals but if you get chompsms (LOVE IT.) and turn off your other messenger, in chompsms settings you can go to notifications and vibrate pattern, hit custom and u type in how many seconds on/off it vibrates, for a quiet vibrate i put about

.015,.015,.015,.015,.015,.015,.015,.015 for a very long time, personally at the end i put ".075,.075,.075,.075 for two louder but still quiet and short vibrates at the end :P
[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:
Thanks for the ChompSMS recommendation it doesn't seem to provide a way to silence individual contact notifications. Any other suggestions?
[Motorola Photon 4G] TheChronicDroid:
search sms blocker in the market place theres an award winning one with a lot of features.
[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:
Thank you for your suggestions as they led me to an app called Vibe which may do the trick! :)

I came across an interesting tool that actually spoofs your phone's coordinates. And amazingly, it actually works.

The MLB and NHL blackout local games, since you can also watch them on your local tv. But that is the main reason I got the apps, so I can watch my teams when I'm not at home. Location Spoofer lets me spoof my gps to another state so I can watch them.

I am running myns warm 2.2. My phone has been going realy slow lately and most apps keep force close. I decided to reboot the phone. It turned off good, but when it went to turn on it is stuck at the white "HCT EVO 4G" screen. What happened? How can I fix this?

Before i rebooted, i updated the host files for adfree. I'm not sure if that could be what caused this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Nevermind I just did a battery pull. It rebooted fine now.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scottypeterson:
If it hangs at the white screen again, go into recovery and wipe cache and dalvik cache and it may help it. Going into recovery and fixing permissions should help with most force closes.

Why has it slowed down recently? Every app seems to force close. Why can cause this or what can I do to fix it?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scottypeterson:
Maybe a bad application is causing it. Try uninstalling the most recent apps you have installed. The reason for it slowing down could possibly be the kernel, try another one. If none of that fixes it, I would wipe everything and reflash the rom again.

Can or do I need to run lag fix on a Rogers Captivate running the stock Gingerbread 2.3.3 ROM? Apparently the phone is running the RFS file system. I tried Ryanza's OCLF but the menu for the fix is unavailable to me. There's mention of the Voodoo fix but I can't seem to find it and finally....there is a menu in DarkyOTA that mentions the lagfix but I don't want to brick my phone unecessarily. Other searches only turn up months or years old references. Can someone clarify this for me please.

I rooted and installed Titanium I was told to do this so i can freeze/unistall stock apps to speed things up the only problem is no one said whats apps i should do this to.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] pseudoheld:
well you don't really need to do that.

on phones with small memory its nice to kick out the operator bloatware but with the amount of room on the tab you don't have to do it.

you will get a far bigger speed boost by installing a custom kernel and overclocking it and installing a custom rom (which will also come with bloatware removed)

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raidon24:
I put some pdf docs to my tablet. I tried to open them, but some of them couldn't be opened - as it said. I have tried out almost all the pdf readers, none could open those files. Oh, and before asking, yes, I can open all of them on the computer.

It seems like the tablet just doesn't recognize these files. There are Chinese letters in the files' names, it doesn't know the sizes either... etc.

Why is it? What do you think? Most of the ones that cannot be open has photos in them. Books, I mean. Books that have been photocopied and put to a pdf file. So I can't mark words like in a normal pdf ebook.

Hmm, I hope we'll find out what's wrong...and how can be solved.

Thanks!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raidon24:
hohooo, I have just found out how can I manage to open any file. I had to rename all the files, changing all the Hungarian titles...and now the device recognizes them.

Then my question is: How could I make the device to be able to read/open the files having Hungarian names? Should I change the whole language of the device?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] maxesxp:
We all know that phones have 3 hard drives. The internal memory, the internal sd, and the external sd.

For those of you that don't, the g2x has an advertised 8gb of internal memory. They did not however, mentioned that it is split up into 2 parts. 1.5 gigs for internal memory, for apps, programs, etc aka phones memory. Then the remaining is called the internal sd card, for all your pictures, movies, files etc. Then you hav the external sd, which is the microsd card you can pick up from future shop, best buy etc also used for files.

So my question is: is it possible to install and app onto your external sd card? IV heard of an app called app2ext but a market search failed to show and results

[Motorola Droid RAZR] feitingen:
Hello,

I like to think i'm pretty good with linux, but i'm new to android, so please bear with me.

I have rooted the phone, and I've been poking around a bit and some questions arises:

1. In the root, i found several init.*rc files, which one is used for booting the phone?

2. usbd - this daemon seems to control the USB state (mass storage, pc mode, cdrom) - Is there some documentation for how to control this? I'd like to put some ISOs on my sdcard and use the phone to emulate a cdrom, and I think this would be possible through this.

It opens the socket /dev/socket/usbd, so I assume it will be controlled through this.

When i have time I'll poke more, but its useless if someone else already looked at this.

3. Is there a way to boot the phone into a debug state? I'd like to replace the /osh filesystem, but in order to unmount it I think I need to enter some kind of debug mode/single user mode?

4. Do we have the source code for the kernel with all the TI goodness? And is there a way of updating this?

Other than this I have some issues with sound my heavily modified webtop, alsa is the way to go, right?

Hopefully I'll get this sorted out and I'll be able to enjoy full debian on the webtop and in the terminal.

I am not a Android developer, but, I like to treat Android as one of the GNU/Linux environment.

Usually, I always starts with dmesg. There are lot's of hints and pointers about the hardware itself.

Snippet from dmesg.

<5>[ 0.000000] Kernel command line: console=/dev/null rw mem=1023M@0x80000000 vram=20M omapgpu.vram=0:4M,1:16M,2:16MT init=/init ip=off mmcparts=mmcblk1:p7(pds),p8(utags),p14(boot),p15(recovery),p16(cdrom),p17(misc),p18(cid),p19(kpanic),p20(system),p21(cache),p22(preinstall),p23(webtop),p24(userdata),p25(emstorage) mot_sst=1

From the kernel boot parameters, you can see how Linux kernel allocates the MTD blocks.

2) I also like to 'browse' the filesystem...

PC$ adb shell
Android$ su
Android# ls -l -R / > /sdcard/lists.txt
Android# exit
Android$ exit
PC$ adb pull /sdcard/lists.txt

Look at tools/utilities in /system/bin or /system/xbin ...

For alsa, try look in /osh/usr/share/alsa ... it may have something useful for you. :)

Sorry, I cannot answer all of your questions, but, hope the my tips can help you to explore more about Android OS.

To know more about your device, this one might be a good starter... :)

PC$ adb bugreport

Anyway good luck.

Thank you.
