Vibrant: Froyo 2.2 does NOT regconize T-mobile SIMCARD - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone,
I installed custom room froyo 2.2 on my vibrant and it does not recognize the tmobile simcard. I have no service at all on it.
1) If you have a solution to solve that or
2) please show me how to restore back to the original ROM...
Please HELP! I'm currently using my old G1
Thanks so much!

hmmm?
odin back to stock. search the threads. or simply just take out the sim for a good 5 minutes along with the battery and then put everything right back on and see if that works. but i think you will just have to search on the site on how to return to stock. good luck.

What rom are you using?

notice the OP didn't say what ROM they flashed...

Yeah - this happened to me - I tore my hair out all day.
Turned out I had the SIM card in backwards - the cut corner sticks out!
I felt like a total moron

Reinstall your sim. Same thing happened to my friends phone after I installed a rom and reinstalling the sim worked

Go to settings, Wireless and Network, Make sure Flight Mode is NOT checked.
Seems like flight mode sometimes is enabled when I boot into a fresh rom.

Notice he also posted in the wrong forum section too. And doesn't know how to return back to stock. Sounds like a good case of rtfs (read the ..... stickies) could have helped.

[q] !!!help please!!!

So yesterday i bought a vibrant on craigslist (stupid) checked it out for a while and everything worked perfect.... after paying and going our ways i went to make a call but it just said dialing for about a minute then hung up, then i went to send a txt and the sending failed. It says it has a full signal and it says 3g/edge (internet wont work either). i found if i restart the phone or turn airplane mode on/off i can place a call or send a txt or two before it starts failing again.
Its on 2.1update1, baseband t959uvjfd, kernel 2.6.29.... Any ideas on how to fix or am i screwed???
Well, that's a stock rom so either he never flashed anything or reverted back to the stock rom when he started having problems. I don't have any definate answers, but all I can suggest is to try flashing a new modem and/or rom and see if that fixes it. Realistically you're not under warranty, so you've got nothing to lose.
The sticky at the top of this thread can help direct you on how to do it.
Okay ill try a new rom and see if that helps. Any suggestions on a good one? also when i hit check for an update it says no firmware dont know if that helps anything or not.

Nope, there's no official updates past what you're running. I personally use Eugene373's Ginger Clone R2. Runs very smooth. Everything's about personal preference though
I suggest using odin to see if it fixes the problem.

Are you using your own sim card?
Edit: Nevermind just saw that you can call after a restart.

Okay i tried a new rom and its still doing it ill now try a new modem and odin...
Well the rom should have included a different modem, so I doubt that will help. Sounding more and more like a hardware issue unfortunately
Yeah thats what i was afraid of

Well.....I guess what I would do is hold out for a day or two to see if you get in additional (hopefully better) help. If nothing comes along, call T-Mobile and try to talk them into a replacement.
Hmm.... so i was playing around with settings and it seems that when i put it to gsm only network mode everything works its just on edge... its been 15 min so far and its still working. If i switch it back to use both or wcdma only it stops working again. Any thoughts?
Been a couple days and ive tried a couple different roms/modems and it will still only work in gsm only mode. Any thoughts or does it sound like a hardware problem?
I've had this problem when there is a network outage. Did you ever have good 3g in your area?
The weirdest thing is when I'm traveling, and 3g drops off, it auto switches to gsm no problem. If I'm at home and there is a 3g network issue it will not auto switch, but I switch to gsm only and edge works fine.
I've had that issue on two vibrants now. And luckily, it can be fixed but you need to odin to fix it.
First, make a back up of your efs partition (using a computer is easiest, adb pull /efs). This will make a backup of the files needed to do any future unlocking.
Next, odin to jfd. With reparation checked as well as "clear phone efs". Then, you won't have that issue (at least for quite a while).
"if you amplify everything, nothing is heard"
Follow this exactly to get back to stock 2.1, this will reset your baseband, kernel, modem and you'll have a functioning phone:
http://androidspin.com/2010/08/09/how-to-restore-or-recover-your-samsung-vibrant/
Then you can root your phone and download a new rom!
No theres no outage my hd2 gets 3g perfectly fine... and i tried to odin jfd and all that but still only works when on edge only...

What does clear phone efs do, or rather, what is EFS?

/efs is your radio control partition. And every once in a while, stuff gets messed up there and you need to clear (reset) it using odin. The only thing is, if you don't make a backup of it, you'll lose your unlock code.
"if you amplify everything, nothing is heard"
You have the correct plan on this line? Long shot but might help. Regardless of warranty I would flash it to bone stock and call t mobile and see what they can do. Maybe they can boost the signal or send a new sim. Could be that simple.

[Q] I think i bricked my beautiful vibrant...

Here is what I did to my phone. Installed a 2.2 rom from team whiskey which had voodoo. I got bored with the rom so I figured I would go back to 2.1 using odin and had no problems . I then decided I would try t-mobiles 2.2. I went to mini kies and all seemed to go well, until my beautiful phone just bricked. It will not turn on at all.. I have tried everything including using a jig I bought. Right now I have a phone with no mechanical problems( it is only a few weeks old) the problem is me not deactivating the voodoo. I know I can call t-mobile etc. but I want to fix it myself. As I said it is totally dead. Does anyone have any ideas I love a challenge. I would love to see DOWNLOAD mode..
You might have a complete bricked phone so..if it is under warranty then just call T-mobile and tell them Kies bricked your phone..I am sure they have head this before because Kies is known for bricking...i have read in so many threads..
Pull the battery, wait awhile, plug in battery cable, insert battery any lights/anything?
dont worry its fine. just do what s15274n
No nothing, this phone is dead. Too bad it is like brand new. Any other ideas!!!

[Q] Note i717 Stuck On Samsung Logo NEED FIX

I know someone will eventually tell me to do a search, but I have and can't make any sense of most of the so called guides. What I have been finding is for the international version, or some generic crap that don't really help me. My phone is stuck on the Samsung logo when you try and power it on. I really need to fix this!!! I did SIM unlock it, rooted it, and installed OnlyOne ICS because I got tired of waiting for slow a$$ ATT to get the ICS update out. Anyhow, the phone worked great for 2 months and now this morning it kept saying, blah blah has crashed, etc. So I rebooted the phone and lord behold, the stupid thing won't work anymore. The only thing I can do with it is hold the power button and down volume button to get to the "Odin Mode". Other then that, the phone is useless. I would love to find some guide that is more specific on fixing this problem? Maybe I over looked one, but I am at work and don't have the time to search thru hundreds of threads, etc. I will when I get home, but really need to fix the phone ASAP since I use it for work too. Any info would be awesome.
I think your talking about Download mode.

If you can get into download mode (odin mode) just flash the attstock Rom to unroot.
Go to rootgalaxynote.com and click the upper right hand corner where it says uroot and follow the directions. Works great for me used it multiple times.

I do appreciate the quick responses, but I'm about to head out and will try to re-flash it later. I am just concerned about the data / pictures, etc I have on the phone itself. I know I can pull the 16gb sd card I have and it will be safe, but if I use the ODIN way to re-flash to stock, will it erase all my content I have? I thank god I have a MyTouch 4g as a backup, but all my work related stuff is on my Note, so I am really up a creek right now without it.

If you unroot all of the data stays on your note. No worries. Good luck
Just one thing, when you unroot and it is finished the att logo will come up with the "rethink possible" after that just go into Samsung recovery and reboot from there.
It doesn't say that on the website.

I got it to work when I got some time. I used a Wi-Fi connection at MacDonalds and downloaded the onlyone beta 5 rom. Thank god I had my laptop with me also. I was on beta 4 but I also got into clockwork mod and fixed permissions & cleared cache. Then went and flashed the new rom, hoping my data and installed apps would still work. Well my phone is working great again. Thanks for the info and keep up the good work!

Am I hard bricked?

Hello,
I recently got a friend's old Samsung Fascinate (Galaxy S) from Verizon, SCH-I500 EH03. This is the first Smart Phone I ever owned and I wanted to join the bandwagon, long story short I read xda-developers.com for a couple of days trying to absorb as much as I could and after all my faulty USB Cable messed it all up.
I was updating PIT and PDA through ODIN, Powerwashed and Atlas when my USB Cable got a little bit loose, I tried to put it back it and unfortunately it came out of the device, Odin errored out, phone froze and I got a Green Screen, not knowing what was going on and out of desperation and bad judgement I pulled the battery out.
Now I get a black pitch screen with no icons on it, Ive already researched for Soft Bricked and I do not get the Black Screen of Death, this is just Black. Computer doesn't recognizes phone at all, I've trying holding power button for a long time, removing battery or just using USB Cable but nada.
I' did some research on the Jig mod but it seems that it only works if you get at least something on the screen while all I get is a black screen.
I'm about to try to attempt doing this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1206216 - The Captivate Development Platform AKA Unbrickable Mod.
Before I do so I'd like to know if there is any other alternative, I don't have much experience on electronics and I'm going to purely base my judgement and fix on the thread above me. I realized that my phone might be gone for good so why not give it a last try.
Thanks in advance for reading.

First of all you don't know nearly enough information. To have done that you always take your battery out before odining because it works better that way but none the less I will make it my goal too get you fixed. DO NOT SKIP ANY OF THIS . now first off go too the Samsung satire or whatever and buy you a Samsung USB cable made for your phone too lessen the chances of bad things happening now turn on Odin 1.3 you can find that anywhere on the web just search when you run Odin run it as admistator plug in your phone with the USB cord WITH THE BATTERY OUT and hold the volume down button it will show a symbol it can be any kind its just going too show a symbol now it will install device drivers or whatever and Odin will recognize it by showing a little yellow rectangle u deer one of the com's now put the atlas 2.2 pit in the pit section chackmark PDA put the powerwashed.tar in there AND CLICK REPARTICIAN YES CLICK IT. And now press start. Wait for it too finish it may take up too 20 in too flash factory.fs JUST WAIT IT WILL CONTINUE ITS SLOW. Now then when it says PASS unplug your phone from the USB put back in the battery hold the power button it will power up and do something release the power button it will do its thing then power up into power washed and there ya go YOUR PHONE IS UNBRICKED!!!!

Hello,
Thanks for the response.
I did try to run Odin without the battery but the phone wouldn't even turn on at all, Id like to think this was caused because the Cable I used was a generic one and not the Original Samsung one, I have ordered one Online from Ebay, one that is Branded Samsung and specially for this Phone, I will update this thread as soon as I get it and try your steps.
Once again thanks for your help.

I must admit it man, I knew you knew your stuff, but I had my doubts, Thanks a lot for your help, I'm truly grateful for your help. My phone is unbricked now.
I got a couple of questions for you if you don't mind,
Id like to have newest android but I'm not sure if this phone can support it, you seem to have the same phone number as I do.. what version of Android do you run.
And last but not least.. is it true that since the phone was vberizon and I want to use a different carrier I can only use the Voice Plan for it?, Data plan won't work on rooted phones unless I go to the original carrier, is this a myth or true?
Thanks once again for the amazing help, I'm truly happy!

Np This phone is one of the most supported phones out there and the fastest. Right now I'm getting performance as good as the galaxy s3. This phone can run ICS, jellybean, and even the new 4.2. Jellybean ROMs run the smoothest though. Just look and droidsytles guide section 4 it will tell you everything. I also have couple of ROMs up. Also it is a myth.

They have reset my Android OS back to stock... but phone finally works I guess is a good thing, if I want to go back to JB Paranoid Android 4.1 would I have to reactivate again after following Droidstyles guide? or can I just do the 4th steep and the phone will be ready to go.

If you should need to do it dial *22890 or *22891
That will get you past having to input a number option to activate

Almost perfection!.
Two more questions,
1- Is there anytihg else I would need to do, load a rom or tweak so DATA works? , I've activated my phone and Voice works perfectly fine, I can also send text messages and WIFI works.
2- Somehow my phone still thinks is with Verizon Wireless for some stuff such as Google Play Store it gives me the option to Add a Card, Redeem Code or Charge my Verizon Account?
Also when I turn on the phone the bottom of Jelly Bean Menu to unlock the phone shows Verizon Wireless, is this normal?

S3 Signal Lost

Before we start i already asked a lot of people and search countless forums for this one so please hear me out.
I'm currently using S3 with baseband model I9300DXUGNB1 with Cyanogen 11 on it.
Whenever i open up my phone it doesn't have any signal for 20secs afterwards it will search and search and eventually if i'm gonna send a SMS or make a Call signal will appear and will disappear after doing those 2.
It's kinda bugging me out since i use my phone solely for Office work( i do my reports here ) and sometimes my manager can't contact me because of this problem.
Any solution or fix is highly appreciated.

1 take the back off and tighten all nine of the tiny screws......been said to help GPS......signal is signal.
2 restore to bone stock ROM. Make a call, take a trip, make a sandwich and let your hardware reset. Then go back to your custom rom.
3 never install a non downgradable boot loader if you have a choice.
I am assuming you are at&t and you called them to make sure ether are no outages in your area.

1 take the back off and tighten all nine of the tiny screws......been said to help GPS......signal is signal.
2 restore to bone stock ROM. Make a call, take a trip, make a sandwich and let your hardware reset. Then go back to your custom rom.

You don't have to post that quote in my thread. I will only create a thread if there's no possible matches on the search tab above. I think before i post.
I fixed the signal issue by replacing the whole board itself . Reflashed it with a stock 4.3 rom rooted and flashed boeffela kernel for sound. and it's working properly
Your gratitude is overwhelming, why bother asking a question that has only one answer then complaining when someone answers it?
Shrugs and walks away.
