no network

Hi,

I'm facing this major problem with my GALAXY S2 GT-i9100.

When I switch off my mobile and then switch on ,my phone shows no sim card inserted.

If I put the same SIM in another phone, it works. So no problem with the SIM or Network.

I have tried the following:

complete WIPE. Factory Reset, Clear cache, Clear Dalvik cache, Format /system

i done every thing but my problem not solved

Even after doing everything, the problem is same.

Kindly help.:(

Hi, i have a i9100 with no IMEI, the phone was rooted with stock 4.1.2 and sudenly got no signal. Later found that it had no IMEI and baseband was unknown.

I've tried reflashing the baseband, installed the GSII_repair but no luck.

I allso have another S2. Can i copy the EFS folder from the one that's working to the no imei one?

What other options do i have?

Thanks in advance!!
[Galaxy S II General] gvravisankar:
Baseband Unknown and no IMEI on Galaxy S2

Hi, My Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-i9100 has suddenly lost it's signal, while I was stopping some services, which I thought were slowing down my phone. Further investigating, I found that the baseband version is "UNKNOWN" and *#06# was giving no IMEI.

I found this forum addressing similar issue. I understood that /efs/nv_data.bin file was corrupted on my phone.

GSII_Repair and "Galaxy S Unlock" apps, could not resolve my issue.

It gave me an error while restoring the EFS partition. This is probably because my file system was in read-only mode.

Then, I used the "HC-kTool" to restore. Finally, after doing some specific sequence of operations using HC-kTool,

I was able to successfully repair the no signal issue on my phone.

Here are the steps I followed to repair my phone:

I have done many unnecessary things.

But, I think the root cause is that the nv_data.bin file was corrupted.

It needed the following 2 steps to be done to fix this issue:

1.	Root the phone.

2.	Restore the file /efs/nv_data.bin.

The exact set of actions I have done to do each of the above steps is as follows:

1.	Root the phone.

a.	Download the rooted image for Galaxy S2. (CF-Root-SGS2_XW_NEE_LPG-v5.5-CWM5.zip – is suitable for my OS & Phone HW version)

b.	Copy it to /sdcard on the phone

c.	Press volume-up, home, and power buttons together for 10-15 seconds and enter the debug mode on the phone.

d.	Navigate the menu using the volume up-down buttons and select “Install zip from sdcard” option using home button.

e.	Reboot, by selecting the reboot option from the same menu.

f.	Cross check that the phone is rooted by using the “Root Checker” app downloaded from Play store.

2.	Restore the file /efs/nv_data.bin.

a.	Download BusyBox from Play store. This is a unix command toolbox used by many other Root apps.

b.	Download HC-kTool App from Play store.

c.	Using HC-kTool, Back-up the /efs folder as efs.tar.gz in /sdcard.

d.	Copy the efs.tar.gz to PC thru USB.

e.	Delete the /efs folder.

f.	Using HC-KTool, execute the “Restore /efs from TAR” option.

g.	Using HC-kTool, Reboot.

h.	I’ve also used GSII_Repair App in the beginning. But, it may not be necessary.

BTW, I've never backed up my efs folder earlier, before the issue occurred.

Infact, I was not aware of efs folder before I searched the internet for resolving this issue.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ronniet:
I'm in a bit of a pickle with my Xperia PLAY.

It's bootloader is locked, but I managed to install the root app then used the auto-CWM app to get me the CWM Recovery menu and from there I installed the GBTweaked ROM.

Thing is: it seems that the ROM has erased my CWM, so now I can't get into the Recovery menu to install the wifi fixes. :(

Tried the auto-CWM app again (tried everything else) and it won't take. On every boot there's no CWM and the app says CWM is not installed. Tried the CWM script (that's often mentioned) with the ADB drivers, but it can't detect my PLAY.

I'm stuck!

No CWM = no wifi fix, and with no CWM I can't even resort back to the stock ROM!

Any ideas folks? I've been trying this for about 4hrs this evening...

I think you cant find out about the odin flashable official ROM, unless somebody share you their experiance, it wiped their data or not....

if you are rooted, safeside is to backup with Titanium backup and keep it in your PC,

and also it is always better to flash an official rom from ODIN on unofficial leaked ICS XXLPB, since there are many cases reported about a "kernel Panic Uplod mod" issue while they are attempting to flash a ROM from CWM...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Therealtahu:
Hey all. My phone stopped working a while back and I'm going to send it in for repairs. However, I'm not in stock recovery at the moment.

For reasons explained in the link above, I'm looking specifically for the recovery.img or an update.zip containing the stock recovery. I can't flash the OTA package with the recovery since it fails to find the /system folder and stops at that point. The OTA package contains a recovery but it doesn't contain a recovery.img.

I haven't been able to find the file on the internet and I was hoping someone could either link the file, or create it from their stock image.

Thanks for the help!

EDIT: Sent the phone back and flashed it with the ICS versions of everything I could flash.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polobunny:
You say you're not able to flash the OTA package? Are you sure you're flashing a full OTA and not an update?

Make sure your CWM recovery is up to date too. Latest version is 5.0.2.0 for the non touch version.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Therealtahu:
OTA Updates will not work. The OTA packages linked in the general forum have the recovery in the form of a "recovery-from-boot.p" file and a "install-recovery.sh" file. The OTA package fails to flash because /system and /data do not get mounted.

Try adding another account (make a new Gmail account). Once that's done, you should be able to remove the other one. Let her use this one as her email account, I'm sure she'll like that......:)

Or you could install an app protector and also switch off sync for that email so it doesn't receive notifications
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jsgraphicart:
The best app I have come across for this scenario is an app called switchme. It acts like how your computer would if you had two user account on there. Once you install it, you can create a new profile. Selecting it will reboot your device and start up as a clean ROM with no market apps and no google account linked to it. You can then add her google account to that profile (if she has one) and she can sync all her own stuff, not interfering with yours. You can then switch between profiles at will. Its an awesome app.

Thanks. I did add another account but I cannot remove mine. Looks like cyanogen doesn't have that enabled (because I was able to do that on my other daughter's Xoom when it was running gingerbread.

I would prefer not creating a new profile completely because then I'd lose all the apps that I've installed, like I did on the Xoom. I was able to turn notifications to my gmail account off but don't want her (or my ex!) to have access to my gmail.

Thanks.

Unfortunately this is an android issue. You can't remove the initial account you use without wiping data and starting over.

[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mike-y:
hmm, did not know that. So if that is the case, the OP should reset the device, and start it with a different gmail account for his daughter. Then he can add his regular gmail account afterward, install the apps he wants, and then remove the account when complete.

Or maybe use titanium backup to backup his current apps now. do a factory reset, then setup with a new gmail account, install TB on the new account, and then restore the old apps.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jsgraphicart:
I still say the app I linked to is a good thing to get for his situation. Its two accounts running side by side and each person can log into their own account with their own apps and wont have access to each others. You can even set a password just like on a computer.
