Help! No Signal and Force Close app after Flashing - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm not used to make threads with "HELP!" But i waited for this phone sooo long and when i finally got it and flashed it got messed up :/
Well, I live in Mexico, Phone company Telcel.
I had KE4 Buildnumber as stock. then i decided to install KE7 Official rom i downloaded from some website named gadget w/e. When i flashed it with odin (I only used the KE7.tar no Kernel or anything) it rebooted n everything was going ok, but when i turned on my phone i wasn't getting signal anymore .. and i keep getting "Sorry! The process com.android.phone has stopped working unexpectedly.Please try again"
I flashed my phone with KE8 to see if it would work and used CF-Root v4.0 KE8 Kernel and im still having this problem, i have no signal, and if i try to go to Mobile Network settings it says "SIM NOT FOUND" in my app Drawer it says "Telcel GSM" it recognizes im using a Telcel SIM i guess .. and after a while of force closing com.android.phone it doesnt say Telcel GSM anymore.
Sorry for the long thread i just wanted to give as much info as i could. Some help would be GREAT because i just got my phone 3 days ago :/ the battery life was RLY lame i had to upgrade it, Thanks anyway!
Edit: Phone info now
Baseband version i9100DDKE2
Kernel Version [email protected] #2
Buildnumber GINGERBREAD.XWKE8

No1 knows how can i get signal again???

what is your device's country code, when connected to kies (behind pda phone csc in the brackets)?
yesterday, many regions received the kf3 update. maybe that will fix your issue. also, when it comes to sim issues, a factory reset might help and the cross test:
test that sim card in another phone and test another sim card in your sgs2, that way you can determine whether the issue is caused by the card or the phone.

Issue fixed.

How did you fix it?

emergency calls only?? but connected to network

hi everyone. for the first time since i joined xda a year ago i feel helpless
it started couple days ago when my girlfriend told me she couldn't get in touch with me cuz my phones turned off. of course, my x10 was turned on and it said i have signal and i'm on my network (rogers). at the time i was on wolfbreak rom 4.0.4 cutom kernel version and it was working fine for a week or so.
then my phone was able to call out but couldn't receive. then it couldn't call out and couldn't receive. but the status bar said i have full bars.
thinking it could be the rom, i flashed tripmiui rom over it. same thing. it said i was on rogers network and 50% chance i could call out but calls wouldn't come through; service busy. then i tried ewjet rom and the new miui 1.9.2 rom as well. so i went back stock
when i did, lockscreen said i emergency call only even though my sim card was in. status bar showing i have bars but still couldn't connect to rogers network. sometimes it would find it sometimes not. so i keep the stock rom and since i don't have money right now to get it fixed or replace, i decided to root, install custom rom and use it as a wifi/portable media device.
while i was trying to root this shows up on flashtool;
05/009/2011 21:09:33 - INFO - turn on Unknown Sources and Debugging

any
got this little problem fixed with advanced root but i was wondering if anyone knows what is happening to my x10?? if theres any fix??
update: now i'm on ewjet's rom and i tried the sim card again. i get data and dialed out success 1 out of 3 calls and still no calls can come through - "the number you are trying to dial is not in service"
Try a different sim card to see if that's the problem.

I have the same problem which rom worked for u let me know please.
It wasn't a particular rom that fixed it. I just flashed and flashed stock generic ROM and eclair stock ROM. Altogether I flashed about 10 times and finally got a signal on eclair then upgraded back to gingerbread. So just keep flashing those two ROM til u get a signal;hope it works for u!

[Q] SIM no longer detected after flashing

This morning, I had my SGS2 working as normal, running Oxygen 2.3.2 (GB 2.3.7 AOSP).
I tried later on to flash the new CM9 ICS alpha for SGS2, And while it worked for a bit, after a while the phone stopped detecting my SIM.
Restoring my Oxygen NANDroid backup didn't help, nor did flashing new PDA/Phone/CSC via Odin to an official version.
Baseband and IMEI both appear normally in the settings/about screen.
I'd love any suggestion to make this issue clearer or how to solve it.
Thanks in advance.
Try taking it out, blowing it off and putting it back in

Same above, once I had the same problem and re-inserting the sim card solved it.

I had the same problem. I went to the operator and exchanged the chip. Now it works perfectly.
Yeah, took it out with the battery and tried reinserting, didn't do much.
Funny to think the SIM might have gone corrupt, but who knows.
Update:
Last night, Asked a friend to switch SIM between our devices. His SIM worked on my device straight, Mine wasn't detected on his.
Went today to Orange IL and replaced the SIM, worked like a treat.
So it was the SIM in the end, Not sure how it got messed up.
Thanks for the advice from everyone!
This can be locked/deleted.

[Q] Battery Problem + Updating doesn't work

Hey guys,
I hope someone will know the answer to my problems, I'll try to keep this short. (English is not my first language so excuse me for any mistakes I make).
Around 2 months ago I couldn't connect to my wifi, I tried everything, but eventually I thought the only solution was to factory reset my Samsung Galaxy S2.
That turned out to be a stupid decision. I made a back up of my media files, so those were safe. But the option to make a back up of your contacts using google didn't work, so I lost all my contacts, whatsapp messages and text messages.
Factory resetting my phone was the solution to the wifi problem though, so I was happy with that. And in the mean time I've gotten a lot of my contacts back, so that's not that kind of a big issue to me anymore.
But now I have a new problem. My phone can't update it's firmware anymore. I've tried using the update function from the phone, but it says it can't connect to the server. And using KIES, it says that the phone can't be updated as well. Now it's running on 2.3.5 and I'd really like to get the new OS available. (This is problem #1).
Problem #2 is the fact that in the last few days my battery has been incredibly weak. Normally I could last 1,5 days to 2 days with a fully charged battery, but now it seems to only last about 4-6 hours. The phone seemed to be a lot warmer as well.
I've tried to find a solution for problem #1, and all I could find is that maybe the factory reset changed the settings of which country your phone is from (I'm from the Netherlands), and that this is the reason why I can't update my phone.
In the thread I found they were talking about using #1234# and checking the codes there, but when I use this my phone displays (translated) ''connection problem or wrong MMI-code''. So I can't check if the data changed after the factory reset.
What should I do next?
Thanks in advance.
Hello there mate.
Im not a dev or something but from different cases that i've seen with many GS2 phones i think i can help you ( i hope at least ).
First of all i think you can easily update with odin to the new ICS firmware Samsung has for GS2.( If you use windows 7 run as administirator )
You can find many tutorials on youtube of how to do that.
Remember to back up all of your data before updating because they will be erased.
After installing fresh ICS firmware (official 4.0.3) you will need to do a factory reset.
Now for your second problem i think it might be an app problem which requires power from your CPU and that's why your phone is overheating and the battery is draining that fast.
I would suggest after using an app to kill it via the task manager so it won't run at the background demanding dedication from the system.
If that doesn't work also try re-installing all of your apps.
Hope you find this kinda useful friend and solve your problems.Take care
Thanks for the reply!
But before I upgrade with odin, don't I need to know the codes (representing where your phone is from etc.)?
I've found them under settings. They are:
Baseband: I9100XXKI4
Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKJ3-CL647431 [email protected]#2
Build number:GINGERBREAD.XWKJ3.
And how do I backup all my files? Especially contacts, text messages and whatsapp messages?
No problem ! Im glad that you found my info somehow helpful!
Now as i said earlier im not that kind of expert so giving the current sittuation i don't really know. You should search on the internet for your firmware available for your country and also you can search at sammobile.com then go to firmwares then select the Smartphone option then Android and you should be good to choose the firmware and download it for your region/country. ( Terribly sorry for not giving a link but xda forums are saying that i need more than 10 posts to post a link.
So good luck with that one :good:
I never tried it myself but i've seen that people backup their contacts,texts and apps with KIES so you should give it a try :good:
Either than that,this is all i know and im really sorry if i can't help you any further as im new here too
Alright thanks for the help.
I made a backup of my contacts, whatsapp messages and text messages on my SD card. I'm almost gonna start using Odin. (You don't need a rooted device in order for Odin to work, right?). And I also only got a .tar file from the downloaded package from Sammobile.com, is that all I need?
I'll post the results
Yes Odin will work with unrooted and rooted devices!
I don't know if that's the file, i would do a little search before updating about the files and remember to watch a video on youtube to help you with the process !
Things to remember : If you are on windows vista/7 run Odin as administirator
After installing the firmware do a factory reset / clear cache
Good luck! I hope somebody more experienced than me will help you better than i did . :good:
Haha alright thanks for the help.
I used Odin this afternoon, with succes! I updated to 4.0.3 (only using the .tar file) and after that I factory reset my phone.
Also, I managed to succesfully retain my text/whatsappp messages + contacts, so everything's fine.
I'm going to try out my phone for a couple of days and I'll report if anythings wrong with it.
Really glad that things went in the right direction for you
Just a quick thought now, our Samsung Galaxy S2 will get a new update to 4.0.4 which is reported to be far better than the current one and will be available on the upcoming weeks so be prepared to do another update
But anyway you did a great job! :good:

Contrary to popular belief, the signal bar does not show an accurate description of your network signals. It may show you the signal strength of the nearest tower.
The reason you're getting the "out of service" sign is because you ARE out of service. You're not in range of your telecom provider's signals. Try someone else's SIM (who is on another network) and you'll see that everything works perfectly!

I have pretty much the same issue... Since i moved to JB, It happens that I can't hear anything. Sometimes The other side hears me, but most of the time not.
Sometimes a Reboot helps, sometimes a reflash of the modem (all versions tried) helps... but this works only for a random time span... then it bugs again.
My provider is Swisscom and I never had signal problems in my home. Definitively no provider problem since all the other mobile phones work in this area.
Now I'm looking for the stock ROM to flash... maybe this will help...

Hello,
I had this problem with the DBT version. You seem to have NEE which I have now.
I bought my S3 from Germany and live in Sweden.
CSC I had was DBT and I flashed it to NEE which is for Sweden.
CSC
You need to flash yours with TUR version and do a factory reset.
source
ODIN 3.07
Instructions For Flashing Firmware:
Extract the firmware
Open Odin
Turn off your device
Put your device into Download MODE (Home + Volume Down + Power) then Volume Up
Click PDA and select *.tar.md5
Then finally click START!
I hope that solves the problem.
When I flashed I used Samsung Kies drivers.
Install latest Samsung Kies and uninstall it but keep the drivers.
The factory reset I mean is Home + Volume Up + Power

[Q] Lost network after flashing

Hi there!
I know I'm new to here, but not new to android, flashing, etc...
So I recently bought a Galaxy S3 international version (GT-I9300).
I tried to update it's software with KIES, and it stopped on 61%.
KIES tried to flash the newest 4.0.4 (UK) firmware (I9300XXBLG8).
I got the .tar.md5 file out of temporary directory and flashed it manually from ODIN. It booted normally, but i had (have) no network signal. When I turned it on it requested my PIN but when I entered it, the phone doesn't connected to my carrieer's network. My phone is unlocked (checked it with galaxsim), and my IMEI number doesn't changed or corrupted. (Checked under the battery). I live in Hungary and my carrieer is T-Mobile. Tried hard reset, wipe.
Can anybody please help me to solve this problem?
Thank you very much in advance.

Hi Tom ,
it happened that I had a bit of a similar problem before ( not with my Current International S3 but with my older Xperia neo v ) , after flashing a new ROM something went wrong and I had lost network , tried everything possible but it wouldn't do anything.
my solution was flashing back to my previous ROM , so I highly recommend to you to flash back using your NANDROID backup ( I hope you made one before Flashing... ) or you can try another ROM / or even RE-flash your current ROM but pay more attention this time and make sure nothing goes wrong , and also make sure you do a factory reset , Cache wipe and Dalvik cache Wipe before you flash it just to make sure everything is clean.
I hope this helps , and if I helped you by any way possible don't hesitate and press the Thanks button on your LEFT :good:
Cheers

Bad news, I don't really know what my original firmware was, so I can just try Kangburra's tip... I have 25 min waiting time on hotfile.com, I will the download the latest 4.1.1 unbranded firmware, which has PDA I9300XXDLIH and CSC I9300PHEDLI1. I will write about the results ASAP.

It seems you misunderstood me... I have absolutely no network signal from my carrier :/
Update: Okay the last 4.1.1 mentioned before is not working. Now it sees my network just doesn't register on it. Will try I9300XXALE8_I9300OXFALE5_XEH now.
Found something: All of ROMs installed I'm seem to be reachable. My friend ringed me from his mobile and IT WAS RINGING. If I turned off my mobile, it was not ringing of course. So what the hell is this?
