[Q] Help No Service. - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777

I have been searching for 3 days trying to find the problem. I have an AT&T Galaxy s 2 that I rooted using the Zedomax root through ODIN. I unlocked it to use for my T-mobile service. Everything was working fine for months. Then one day I woke up to use my phone and there was a circle with a cross through it. I am not able to call out or even get a data connection. So I tried flashing back to stock no root and same thing. I put a AT&T sim in and it was the same thing. Flashed back to root several times and I still get the same thing. I checked to see if my radio was on and it was fine. Did Either Service just block the phone? I don't get it. When I leave my house I get bars but no connection on both data or service. Yet I get all kind of texts . So why wont it let me call out or even use my browser if i go down the street and it says it has service and is getting texts? I swapped phones and works perfect so I know it can't be my SIM.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks.

Don't. Use. Zedomax.

DId u try calling T-mobile? or AT&T about the issue?

Well I'm on a "no contract plan" and buy my phones cash. So no warranty. So Zedomax is bad?

Maybe flash a radio to it. I've noticed that I lose service with some roms occasionally. But when I do, I just flash a radio and it seems to fix it.

Sounds like a bad APN setting to me.

Very bad. Its well known to cause many problems on peoples phones. They usually come here after messing up their phone from his website which is no bueno and annoying. Stick with xda from now on, it won't steer u wrong

Call your service provider and verify your APN settings are correct.
From my own limited knowledge. A circle with line means no signal. Bars without a connection type icon means a signal but no service.
As far as useing the zedomax rooting method, as per the OP if it was running fine for monrhs, that clearly isn't the issue.

I'll try flashing a radio and see if that works. .
i have checked all my APN settings and everything seems ok to me. I have hard reset multiple times. My data packet shows on. I also checked my settings to see if my radio is on and it says yes. My Iemi number shows. I'm so confused what could be wrong. It won't work with both ATT or T-mobile. Should work no matter what considering this is an ATT phone.

[Q] Thunderbolt 4G LTE not connecting

My co-workers phone service got cut off recently, and after it was re-connected, she lost 4G. I had her on Synergy 255 and had the latest radios I found which was CDMA: 1.48.00.0906 LTE: 0.01.78.0906. Even when I updated her to Synergy 262, the problem persisted.
Anyone know what might have happened, I know the recent OTA update for gingerbread has been giving people problems, is it possible the OTA update problem also affected her phone since she was already in gingerbread?
I just put BAMF Forever 1.0.7 on her phone, and it's still only able to connect to 3G, is the problem on verizon's side?
Check your settings in say an app like LTE on/off make sure she is in LTE mode or cdma/LTE

Unroot it, return to stock with the full RUU and see if its busted. If it is you probably have a bad radio in the phone...I had to send my first TB back a week after I got it for this reason.....
Customer service was very helpful believe it or not, just make sure you tell them you have already done a hard reset on the phone, done the OTA's and 4G still doesn't work. The will ask you your build number, etc. to make sure it matches what's "in the system".
So just return to unrooted Froyo, do any and all upgrades to get it current, if it still doesn't work you should be able to get a new phone.

Sim card
Another idea is that the sim card is dead.
Verizon 4G sim cards can't be reactivated once their deactivated, this happens when you try activate a 3G phone on verizon from a 4G phone, the sim will be dead in 24 hours, I'm guessing the problem may be the same here, once the SIM was disconnected in the system, it can't be reactivated.
Unfortunately to get a new sim, you'll still have to return to unrooted stock to get support from Verizon, but I expect the phone itself is just fine.
Verizon employees are still somewhat inexperienced dealing with these 4G sim cards from what I've seen in stores, so they may have failed to account for that when they reactivated the service.
That seems more likely to me than the phone just happened to break when the service was disconnected.
Did you ever try just flashing another radio? It's worth a try. I would try flashing the radios from the 1.70.605.0 build.

You we're exact on the mark about the sim registration. I told her to replace the sim. And sure enough it worked after it was activated. Glad I didn't I have to resort to going stock and unrooting... She probably would've beat me up...

ATT i777 SGS2 on TMobile

Hello All-
I have Att i777 sim unlocked, and it is now on Tmobile svc.
Im not too sure about the APN settings I should put in there to make
sure I can send/ rcv MMS/Text/ Get the best possible data, etc...
Does anyone have any tips for me?
Thank you!

You're only going to get their 2G data network cause the chipset in our phone doesn't support their 42MBPS HSPA network.
Okay, thanks!
No big deal for me. I have 10mbps at home and T1 at office. Dont really need a fast phone.
Stupid att and their bull**** shnianigans. I told them they better fix their act up. Bull**** customer service reps that all say "I can only do so much" yadda yadda yadda... Guess what, I finally got my free phone from ATT (i777 out of contract) and canceled service immediately after and went to tmobile. I dont really give a rats ass about speed either. Reception is way better in my area which is all I need. I have a company cell phone for travel. Im still paying less for my phone and my wifes brand new phone with unlimited everything when compared to ATT and their piss poor service for the one line.
I plan to convert the whole company eventually as well. Which is going to be even funnier because one rep told me "Good luck trying that"... (I work for SONY)
See, the issue is, people get big and rich and think they are so bad ass and they think no one can touch them... This is what happened at my work. Now I have a better position, and I am still sticking to my roots. Let this be a lesson to everyone. Im just a stupid ass no body that gets business done
root that phone!

Pshhhhh that **** was rooted & sim unlocked before the fedex driver left my driveway. I was planning this since nov last year just waiting to get back from japan. Now AOKP on T-Mobile...and I'm getting att spam mail ever since lol
Hey friend, I have a magicsim adapter and have both AT&T and T-Mobile. I've had no problems with the following for working data and voice (not tried mms).
http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-1976
Also, fair warning, if you're roaming in AT&T's network (which is practically everywhere I go since T-mo sucks), you won't have a data connection of any sort. You can tell which network you're actually on if you go into "About phone -> Status"
Why even bother using T-Mobile if I don't mind asking. Ever since At&t backed out on buying T-Mobile, I don't see the point of even using them as a carrier, yes I know at&t sold them bandwidth for roaming on their network so your service will get better. But why T-Mobile?

The default Tmobile APN settings work pretty well for me. I used to get free data through some older APN settings but they took that off now
And why not use Tmobile? Their plans are cheaper, often better, and I get great service.
ok so i flashed cyanogen mod on my phone, everything running cool, even ran galaxy unlock pro (paid 5 bucks) to unlock my phone. it unlocked alls is technically peachy, except with my t-mobile sim card it keeps saying emergyency calls only. i have 3 different apn's to choose from(all tmobile) but each time i select one and return to the home screen nothing changes.
I unlocked with cellphoneunlock.net and got Tmobile, I get 3g its great.

wanna unlock ? do this
i777UCKH7-CL503881-No-BL file google it 276mb zipped
single file unzipped with mfc logo 512mb
turn phone off
install kies to pc reboot pc
plug usb to pc then with phone off hold vol up and down at same time while plugging in usb ..download mode comes on screen
press vol up
now right click the mfc logo 512mb unzipped file
run as admin
app comes up on screen if no yellow connected icon appears in one of the blanks just unplug usb replug back in
see yellow connect icon ?
make sure phone battery 40-70% charged
now hit run sit back and wait
you will uploaded to a no bootloader rom with cwm recovery and root already done
when reboots your good to go rooted if bootloop enter recovery wipe cache and system ..do not do the wipes if your on custom kernals n junk I hear errors and emmc brick idk if it applies to 2.3.4 but do at own risk if you come from a custom kernel u will have to make sure it all is not custom I guess
now find the helroz galaxy s unlock apk google its on xda somewhere
verify you have root and go to market and download busybox let it load then install I advise after install to reboo phone
now with busy box a rooted phone and 2.3.4 you can download the helroz galaxy s unlock app should have purple menus
its not in store anymore eu have to find the apk online transfer to phone and uncheck the install from other sources in settings
now run it click back up efs
then click unlock
be patient and do not have a sim in while doing this
this will hang maybe for 30sec or so even if it says unresponsive it the wait for app opton itwill eventually do its work and be done or auto reboot your phone after words go back to app and click the done 3rd button
reboot again and verify your unlocked
just did it myself but I acc did a odin root app before I member this 1st file is perooted so now I don't have yellow triangle but it says 1 custom binary I try with cwm to go to aokp and use triangle away but didn't work so fear of issue I just left it alone no more triangle now after reverting back to stock 2.3.4 unrooted but whatever don't care to go jerking it around

where did you get your phone from? I have an at&t phone that just went out of contract, got the unlock code from them and popped in a tmo sim. I can only get edge connection like everyone is stating in this thread. Is there a separate modem file that you flashed? Is it possible to flash a different modem file to access tmo's 3g and up networks?

no service on galaxy s2 sgh-i777?

hey guys my galaxy s2 is currently on shostock2
and the imei is there and everything i get like 2 bars as service but it says emergency call only and i tryed GS11_repair and hc-ktool
i just cant figure out why i get no service and its unlocked i have a tmobile sim card in it but i cant make calls or nothing everything else works fine except it wont connect to tmobiles mobile network i think in network operators tmobile doesnt even show up only at&t
if some one can help me resolve this issue it would be greatly appreciated thanks you
Go under mobile networks and do a carrier search and see if T-Mobile pops up. Are you in a good coverage area? If it says emergency only then you're probably connected to AT&T towers (which shows your radio works, so that's not the issue)
settings -> more (under wireless and network) -> mobile networks -> Network operators -> scan for networks
I did man only at&t shows up

Sent from my SGH-I777 using xda premium
Even though you have bars, doesn't guarantee that you are on the T-Mobile network. You can also get bars on other networks if T-Mobile isn't available. This has happened to me before when I drove off in the mountains, and only AT&T was available (I'm on T-Mobile), and I got 4 bars, but it still said "Emergency Calls Only" because I was on the wrong operator.

Hey. Yani. Did you solve your problem?
Because I have same issue as you have.
I heard from one of my friend that upgrading gingerbread to ICS might work, so I did that as well. but still the same.
And just to let people know, I am not in the crappy tmboile coverage area. In my other phone, I get five full bar reception with same tmobile sim card.
Any ideas?????
Different phones have different radios, get different amounts of service.
Unless your 'other' phone is another i777, theres nothing to compare.
does it really matter how good of service you get when you only get edge?
APN settings
Did you input the APN settings for T-Mobile? I unlocked mine and run it on Straight-Talk and I had to manually input the APN setting to get it to make and receive calls. Just speaking from my personal experience I would choose Straight-Talk over T-Mobile. You still get the same service as AT&T but its only $45 a month for unlimited everything including data. Just check your APN settings man. Make sure your T-Mobile one is selected if you've already input everything.

Yeah. I tried that and getting a little bit better service. I will try it on Monday because at work see if it is better.
If it doesn't, I guess I have to sell this phone, since I tried almost everything I could.
Thanks for letting me know about Straight-Talk, but I have to stay on T-Mobile. I had a deal with T-Mobile for $100 unlimited txt and data for 4 lines. So I can't switch over for 2 yrs....
anyway, thnx for the advice and will update on Monday night.

Hey shpchunjae, did you ever get this figured out? I'm fighting the same problem now (trying to get my i777 to connect to the T-Mobile network) and I'm not getting anything - voice, text, or data. The SIM card works in another T-Mobile phone, so that's not the issue.

[Q] Mobile Data Not Working - Galaxy S3

Hey,
I was playing around with a few Custom ROMS today, and my mobile data stopped working. The APN settings are correct. I have flashed multiple ROMS but no luck. Even stock ICS ROM. I think I have the wrong modem/baseband combination.
My phone show H+ or 3G icon, but as soon as I try to use the internet, it vanishes. Wifi works fine.
Any ideas?
Seems like incorrect apn.. but you already say it's correct..
Try to Flash the stock modem..

Yes the APN is correct.
Could someone possibly tell me which firmware I should flash? I purchased my phone from Pakistan, but I'm not sure which region it is for. Will that make a difference?
Something happening with this phone. I had the same issue a few weeks later.
I tryed almost every modem available unsuccessful. Just my local carier can solve. I didn't known what they did, but solved until now.
Although your apn settings may be correct, they may need updating.
This sometimes happes in the uk.
Maybe if you tried deleting the apn settings out and then ringing your carrier network up, and asking them to sent your correct apn settings to your phone, maybe this could help.
Its not a dead cerainty but always got to be worth a shot mate

Had the same issue with my GS3 (I9300) after switching from those Straight Talk Bastards to AT&T:
Whereas Straight Talk simply f*cked up b/c of a collapse of their data network, so I assume (with nobody at ST saying a word for 2 days, of course.. ), it turned out that AT&T actually had deleted my new account - by mistake - after just one week of 'happy browsing'.
A trip to the local AT&T store solved the mystery and got me up & running again.
Unfortunately, though, it took the AT&T folks a while to figure it out, as they are not used to unbranded/international/ unlocked phones wanting to join their US network. (Don't even try to solve this over the phone, if you have a choice).
Kudos to the AT&T staff, though, as they got the problem resolved eventually. It definitely helped a great deal that my phone had been working just fine on their network just a week ago, so I was able to stand my ground and insist that the problem was at their end.
One of the reps - apparently without a clue - tried to tell me all sorts of BS, e.g. that the I9300 would not work on AT&T; that some Samsung phones supposedly don't work with their network... bla bla blub blub...
Fortunately, I knew better and told him so. Otherwise, he may have successfully gotten rid of me; making me search for the problem someplace else (a.k.a. giving me the run-around or making me chase my tail, etc. :banghead: )
Thanks to xda (and the Internet), however, I had all the knowledge necessary to make sure they get it back to work. Now I'm browsing the web again with 7Mbps Down/3Mbps Up speeds, using AT&T's really fast HSPA+ network here in the Chicago Northern Suburbs (close to O'Hare)... Yay!
Good Luck with finding the problem with your data loss issue!! :thumbup:
P.S.: Let me know if you need my APN settings; just for comparison (.. in case you are in the US, too).
Cheers,
AA

Can't send sms, Verizon has no clue.

So to make a long story short, for the past few weeks I have not been able to send sms. It happened all of a sudden and with no changes to cause it. I can send mms, receive and make calls, but no sms. Took it to Verizon yesterday with the thought in mind that I had a faulty simple card, they tried another one and nothing. Factory reset, nothing. Spent two hours watching them try tthe same things I did. Then they gave up and said to refer to samsung. My question is, is this a software issue? And will rooting and throwing a rom on do the trick? Also is there a root method for after the 4.3 update at the moment?

Check to see if you are on Global or CDMA/LTE/EVDO
settings/more networks/mobile networks/network mode
I was having issues receiving MMS messages and set this from global back CDMA/LTE/EVDo and that fixed it.

Did you try a factory reset???
Hey bud... had the same issue. Over and over for quite some time (since before owning the S4).
Only real fix was to reset the phone (stock, rooted, or custom rom)... only to have it crop up later, again and again.
Last call to VZW and the girl had me swap my SIM and get a new phone, this was while I was on vacation and when I got home, the phone hard bricked on the MJ7 update. So I am not sure what is what and not even sure if it will crop up again. I haven't seen the issue for a few weeks though.
I do have a little, non scientific, theory on this.
Everytime I have had this occur that I can recall, I was traveling from my home. Maybe 100 miles or more. VZW messaging (web) never got any of the messages and the VZW rep can see the messages come into their system and the system believes it is delivering the messages. This also occured with the GNex.
I am assuming that one of two things are going on here.... something is messed up with my provisioning (and your's maybe) or there is an issue with handoffs.
A friend of mine went through the same thing until I did this:
Turn off the radios one by one including: bluetooth, mobile network, and then do airplane mode. Make sure you're on the CDMA/EvDO/LTE settings instead of global. Reboot the phone. Turn off airplane mode, and then turn on your mobile network and give it about a minute. Then try sending SMS.

Everytime I have had this occur that I can recall, I was traveling from my home. Maybe 100 miles or more. VZW messaging (web) never got any of the messages and the VZW rep can see the messages come into their system and the system believes it is delivering the messages. This also occured with the GNex.
I am assuming that one of two things are going on here.... something is messed up with my provisioning (and your's maybe) or there is an issue with handoffs.

Tried it. Nothing, I agree there has to be something wrong with the handoffs.

A friend of mine went through the same thing until I did this:
Turn off the radios one by one including: bluetooth, mobile network, and then do airplane mode. Make sure you're on the CDMA/EvDO/LTE settings instead of global. Reboot the phone. Turn off airplane mode, and then turn on your mobile network and give it about a minute. Then try sending SMS.

Just tried it, still no dice. Thank you for your input though.

Damn ... I was hoping that was the ticket. Your phone might need to be provisioned. *228 to make sure it has updated PRLs. Failing that, you may need to call up VZW.

Not supposed to *228 our phones. Something about possibly frying the sim? Read and read and read.

It does not fry the sim anymore it just puts you in a 3g prl, after a week or to or after you cut your phone off it will auto update back to 4g prl

mb use odin and re-flash the stock rom? I never seen/faced issue like this but would like to help to find the solution, just in case I might deal with such thing later.

Don't know if it will fry the SIM, but *228 will tell you the your phone is already provisioned and it will fail.

I see. Yeah It just said my SIM was activated.
Just wanted to give this a bump to see if someone has any ideas
another bump. samsung doesn't want to send me a replacement and suggest i find a loner phone to put my sim in while they have it for over a week. i can't do that. Rooted the phone and put a rom on it to see if that would do the trick and nothing. Any suggestions before i argue with samsung?

I had SMS/MMS problems recently but now everything is working again. What version you on... MDK? And what ROM are you on?
edit: Here's a thread with some insight of what's going on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2654822

It is a known Verizon network issue. There is people way above the front line staff working on it. They don't tell the front line staff this because since it's just limited to aosp and they only support stock, unrooted phones they tell people there is no issue. They could send you ten replacements phones and they all will do the same thing. It's not the phone, it's not the AOSP rom, and it's not your sim card. It's a bizzare issue that makes all aosp roms ever made not work in certain areas, mostly central pa but others as well. There is another xda user working directly with the engineers providing me updates. I will let you know when we find out a resolution.
Here is my thread which is for the Note 2 with the same issue. There is also links that others have posted in my thread with the exact same symptoms since 2/20/14.
