emergency calls only?? but connected to network - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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;

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!

Help! No Signal and Force Close app after Flashing

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?

First you're in the wrong section, this should go to the Q&A section.
To solve this try flashing a stock firmware with flashtool. Make sure you have the SE drivers installed.

I agree, it is 100% stock this way no matter how many roms youve flashed

i will place this topic under q&a but as explained above i did go back to stock firmware and no luck
wrong thread and what MIUI 1.9 ?
Sent from my X10i using xda premium
I faced the same problem With Froyo 2.2
But now its Okay
Try reflashing the new Baseband pack and try it may work
So weird. I tried flashing bunch of diff stock roms before, both eclair and gingerbread before but not until I read about above post. tried again thinking it will be my last try and bam! Got my phone working again. Weird. Thanks everyone

Bell SGS2 3G Data Connectivity Issues

Ok so I've been reading around in a few threads about this but haven't quite found a solution in my case and I think I need a second opinion. I've also posted in other on going threads but it just gets lost in the rabble so.... it now gets it's own thread.
Bought a brand new Bell SGS2 from a dude on Kijiji. It was brand new, still in the box with the plastic all on it. I SIM unlocked it (which required rooting it) and dropped my Rogers SIM chip in.
I can send/receive txt's but 3G data drops frequently and usually happens once I initiate a data session. My test case uses SpeedTest. I've only seen it complete a full test cycle twice... most of the time, it will get the ping, start the download test and 10% in, the data connection drops and 3G/H+ icon disappears. It takes about 1-2 mins for the data connection to return. I've tried market access or web browsing and same thing happens once a data session initiates.
I've installed a slew of modem/ROM combinations via Odin from XXKH3 to XXKI4... nothing... same issue. Seemed worse with KI4 too!
I've tried different APN settings, disabling fast dormancy and specifically trying to enable only HSPA bands. Nothing. Same problem.
I've since reverted back to stock BELL firmware and tried a friends Bell SIM chip and noticed THE SAME thing happening! So this would definitely tell me it's a hardware problem. It's been more than 15 days so Bell won't even talk to me as the return period has passed and I'm not a bell user so screw them.
I guess at this point, I should test my luck with Samsung but it's been rooted and even though I've un-rooted the binary counter shows 2 which means.... I'm screwed for warranty right?
U can reset the binary counter after flashing back to it original state by using jig. Google for galaxy s2 jig
Btw, why dont u just flash original samsung I9100XXKI3 rom? Which provide good modem. Check my signature, 'boot loop', theres a link lead u to installation guide with download link provided. All is there.

I personally found XXKI3 Modem to be best for Bell's SGS2 (currently using it on Telus).
Tried all the modems' including KI3... didn't work.
In recovery mode, fix permission, reboot and check the 3g again.
Try another method, flash cm7 nightly latest version #16. If the problem still exist, thats mean its related to phone's hardware.

Well I got it new out of the box but I had to SIM unlock it which required rooting and etc....
I did power-volume up-home... got into recovery mode and... there is no option to fix permissions. Keep in mind this is the stock ROM I put back on.
CM7 is another idea.... not against that.
Well. Maybe some failure occured during rooting your phone before. Install rommanager app from the market, open then select flash recovery mode, then select your phone model.. This will give u recovery v4 which will give u more option on recovery mode. This is the easiest way to get more option cwm. U will have fix permission option when u done.

i have the same problem i.e data loses connection. after a fresh flash of stock rom and factory reset , it starts working fine for a week or so and then the shyt happens again . i can tell u , its not a hardware issue, it more like a software issue.
i m not good at android but wen i used to run squid on a linux machine as a proxy server , i recall i had to clear a log file to make data flow possible every few days. i think android has a similar issues some logs files build up or some **** like that.

[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!

[Q] no 3G

hi guys, just about 2 days ago i rooted my phone. problem is after rooting my phone can't seem to get a 3G signal anymore. only GPRS which is so slow! need help tried reflashing with a stock ICS ROM and still no go.
EDIT: here are the things i did before i noticed the disappearance of 3G
1. downloaded recovery and kernel from tegrak's website.
2. booted into download mode and flashed the recovery.tar file
3. booted to recovery mode and flashed the .zip file
4. installed Tegrak Kernel & Superuser from Play Store
*this is when i noticed that i can only get GPRS/1x signal
what i did after was kept flashing a stock ICS ROM. nothing happened to fix the 3G problem.
searched the forums and none of the method works. tried reflashing stock ROM still a no go.

already did sir, still no 3G signal. i'm 200% sure my area has 3G.. it even reaches 3.5G on my other phones.
okay.. just noticed minutes ago that my other phones are getting up to 4G signals too. and my Galaxy Note can't even get to 4G? its really stuck at GRPS speeds. the root must've messed up something because this is my 3rd reflash of a stock ICS ROM and still stuck with a G signal when data network is turned on.
EDIT: been lurking around xda-developers forums now, even tried other websites... is it possible that a kernel flash could change the radio of the device? reflashing for the 5th time did not do anything for me. after 5 tries (i know, that's too many to figure it out that it doesn't work), i've given up. if anyone has a solution to this problem please message me.
ok guys after a few days of testing. i finally figured it out.
for some very odd reason, this particular sim of mine says "network type: GPRS"
i tried different sim cards of the same carrier (i repeat, the same carriers) and it says "network type: UMTS"
even tried different sim cards from other networks and it says "network type: HSDPA"
so that is very odd. did flashing ruin something on this simcard? i can't really pin point?
anyway for me this problem is solved. i'm getting another sim card hehe. hello again 3G/4G!
EDIT: I FOUND A SOLUTION! its not the simcard, its the band setting! i just switched from GSM to WCDMA and it worked for that sim! there is a secret SKT Telecom menu for the Korean android phones that lets you change the band.ü
