Noob Help Needed Please. - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Sorry if this is posted in wrong section
Ok so i got myself a Goophone i5
I wanted to use a GiffGaff sim in the phone (runs on 02 network) but the Goophone only says no service. I checked the APN settings to find the default was for 02 and not GiffGaff. I edited the settings to the ones i could find for GiffGaff but still got no service.
I messaged the seller he told me i would need to root the phone with a program called vroot
I downloaded the root tool and connected my goophone to usb but in the video it says to turn on debug but i don't have that in settings on my goophone. So i tried to connect the phone anyway with the root tool but the tool gives a error on the left side of the program with USB in red and some chinese letters
I would post pics of the error but can't as a new member of this site and need 10 posts first.
Im just trying to get the phone working on GiffGaff network, Do i need to root the phone for the settings to work ?
Again sorry if posted in wrong section new to this stuff and just needed a little help please.
Many Thanks
Ian

[Q] 710 wont connect to network

Hello guys:
I have a t-mobile Lumia 710 and am using it on viva Dominican Republic. I debranded and upgraded to 12070 but I can not get it to connect to my network data service. I use 2 different sims 1 in the US connects no problem but the Dominican will not connect at all. I changed APN and also tried the Network setup app with no luck, even did a hard reset it does not find the network.
Help please dont know what else to do
maybe with the full unlock there is a way to change the settings?
Phone info
FW rev. 1600.3015.8107.12070
HW rev. 112.1402.2.1.
Also another question how to do a zune restore after a hard reset
had to do everything manual after the reset because zune would not give me the option to restore
Settings > Mobiles Network > Scroll to bottom > APN > Enter settings Manually ?
Thanks for your reply, but I already tried that with no luck.
The phone has the network setup app version 1.4.0.0 but when I fire it up it says no network found. I saw in another tread a link to upgrade it there it comes up version 1.6.0 but it does not let me download it. Dont know what else to do.
Mine is Version 1.6.3.0
I think I just got it from the Marketplace but its been removed.
I`ll post back here if I find anything about it
EDIT - Apparently it was pulled from the market due to an Interop Unlock security bug, and renamed to "Persiapan Jaringan" (Which translates from Indonesian into "Preparation Network")
I guess you`ll have to wait for the dev to update it
Might be because I already have it installed, but under the Nokia Collection in the phones Marketplace app its still there
Try using this link from your phone
http://windowsphone.com/s?appid=b95840dc-a542-42a6-bee4-7d1a12f62d2c
Thanks Detection, that was the one I was trying to download I have version 1.4.o and in the market place it says 1.6.0 but it wont let me download.

Good enough/stock to return S3 LTE to Vodafone Germany?

Dear all,
I just want to make sure that my vodafone LTE S3 is ready to be given back to vodafone shop (sim card is not recognized at all, either some kind of lock or simply broken). vodafone employer came to us showing us the s3 saying "just want to show you the color". now i figured out that the box was already open when he came to us....
got phone yesterday but never tested phone function before rooting. used CF root with CWM and later also CF auto root to get back stock recovery. also resetted flash count. never flashed anything else, especially no other image. just did these two root options.
my questions:
- after final root with CF auto root I used Triangle Remove and Downloader showed count of zero, binary "Samsung Original" and system "Samsung Original". But after resetting phone (wipe in recovery console) it shows system in downloader "custom" (binary is still samsung...flash count still zero "no"). Is this normal?
- is recovery console the original one?
- am i good enough to go back to vodafone with this?
thank you to everyone!

Some more information, because I saw some post on other poeple having same problem with "Not registered in network"
Maybe it is some issue, because phone was unlocked before I bought it or imported from somewhere.
MORE OVER==== IN SETTINGS IN STATUES it says=
network=not know
service state=out of service
roaming=not roaming
ERI version =not available
mobile network state =disconnected
serial no=it is shown (but i will not post it here)
imei=Not known
device status= Customized (in German "Geändert")
SORRY...wrong forum. please delete.
copied it into GT-I9305.
TIA!

Galaxy s3 yellow letters on screen

Haven't seen anything like this before...
So a friend bought a s3 from some other country and the phone didn't recognize Greek sim cards... The thing is that he didn't give it to me and he first went to Samsung. They said it can't be done and when he got it back from them it was like on the photos..
I have wiped, rooted, changed stock firmware, flashed cf auto root and siyah kernel but nothing can remove that box with letters from showing all the time except when I launch any app. Even the stock apps. Any ideas how to fix?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Nothing?Noone?At least any suggestion?
Why didn't he take it back a second time before he flashed everything he could find? Maybe they would fix it in seconds? They obviously messed us

It's definitely diagnostic/debug information, but I'm not sure why it's persisting even through factory resets and ROM flashes. Perhaps it can be disabled through one of the hidden diagnostic or service menus (check around on Google for the relevant codes).

Thanks for the suggestion...I found some codes and went to check them all out...One had many sub menus but I still saw them all and tried but nothing worked...
I will tell him to take it back to the Samsung service but cause it's weekend I got it to try my stuff.
And if this helps anyone help me this is what else I did. I moved on to unlock this device with GalaxSimUnlock since when I inserted a sim card the device wouldn't ask for pin or get signal. So I installed this and besides it saying that my phone is unbranded and unlocked it also says top of the list:
Device Model: Not ActiveVD2
So in conclusion, this S3 has:
1) These yellow letters
2) When inserting a sim card it asks for no pin and has no signal
3) Flashing roms stock or not or kernels didn't help with the letters and GalaxsimUnlock didn't either
4) Hidden menu codes didnt help
I'm going to give up if there aren't any other ideas..

Hi ..you need to provide more info dude ...what country did the device come from ?
Check the About Phone info ...everything is OK ? ....that message displays all the time ?
It may be just a display screen of some kind of process that the GS3 has ....look in developer settings ...is there anything checked to run ?
Check EFS folder ...everything is intact ..all files & folders...nv.data.bin ?
Also check APN settings ....I live in Greece also Chania,Crete & I switch sims often ...Vodafone , Cosmote ,Fido "Canada"
Some devices you need to manually enter the proper carrier settings for the first time
What that message may be is ...a process executing ...a function is trying to connect threw the network ....so the S3 ... doesn't seem to be detecting a network at all ...so it displays that screen message ...instead of a sim unlocking screen or something similar
...leave the sim card out ...does it still have that message
If all else fails ...goto TSAR3000 website & get the original factory firmware ....PIT..Radio ..CSC...all data for the GS3
You can maybe even show them your pics ..maybe they know exactly what it the cause of that message
If you flash an other firmware ...first wipe everything in the device ...format sdcard ...fix permissions ..everything !!
I will investigate this also ...very interesting !
---------- Post added at 12:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:28 PM ----------
Whoops ......if ..when...you reflash all the devices data with Odin ....make sure to check all 3 boxes
It also looks like the Bootloader is corrupted .....that would be my best guess

I have done most things that you said...After more investigation I found out that this yellow letters is called "Factory mode". I read for a solution somewhere and did that and the yellow letters have gone and the phone works great (for solution I went to efs / factoryapp / factorymode and changed the text inside to ON from OFF). BUT after that I still can't get any network although my mobile says that it's unlocked when running GalaxSim free version. So if it says that my phone is unclodked then why don't I have signal with my sim card?
Maybe try a different sim?
sent via xda app from starkissed maguro gnex paranoid beta9
From what I've researched it is either an illegal efs/blocked or carrier locked.
Sent from my Galaxy S3
Factory mode probably isnt it ....my device also says Factory Mode - On
Usually if the issue is just no signal ....its the APN Settings ....goto Mobile Networks / Access Point Names ....& if there are any settings MMS /MCC / MNC ports that have values & they are proper to the carrier ...then it should be good
But yeah after more investigation also ....all day ....it may look like a possible sim brick ......that device may have been reported stolen & the carrier hard locked it.....Or the nv.data.bin is corrupted ....maybe damaged from flashing ...
because all the device info ...that the nv.data.bin stores...it doesn't list those in that yellow message ....& its suppose too !
Like I mentioned earlier goto TSAR3000 & make sure you have all the correct device files & data
In GalaxSim Unlock.. it shows correct device model & carrier id ? .....it says unlocked for all modes & it says ...locking is consistent ?
There are many solutions ...so you need to rule out as many as possible
Something like this happened to an HTC One S... i unlocked for a friend ....unlocking was successful ..but couldn't get a signal ...I just let the device chill out 30 min or so & a signal finally transmitted.....sometimes there are authentication process's going on first time you boot a new carrier ....so you need to wait abit until all process's have completed
2 possible solutions I've found for you via Google
Wipe cache and dalvik
Take battery out for a few hours

APN settings aren't the problem. Actually apn settings are only for internet. I'm sure that the problem must have to do with the efs folder somehow. Probably something is corrupted there... But don't know how or if I can fix it. I didn't download the firmware from TSAR3000 but I downloaded the firmware form sammobile.com which I think neveris wrong... So that is also ok. GalaxSim Unlock says in all rows that it is unlocked. Also read somewhere how I can edit the nv_data.bin file to unlock the phone and also did the manual instructions but still the same.As for letting the sim card in for time, I did. I left it for hours but still it says not registered to network when I dial.
slaphead20 --> I have wiped everything many many times
Read that thread I linked you to
Did that and I did get out of factory mode which I also did when editing myself the file.The problem now is that I can't get any signal although the SiM card is recognised... Probably will have to go to Samsung.
APN settings ..is not only for internet my friend ....there should be 3 protocals
I know I am insisting ..but I know ...i have seen it with my own eyes
The device should have ...carrier APN....internet APN & tethering APN ....make sure that values are correct for carrier APN
carrier apn ...controls the transmision with the network & MMS ....MCC & MCN must have correct open ports or a signal will never transmit
These ports also control remotely locking the device sim
A mobile network code (MNC) is used in combination with a mobile country code (MCC) (also known as a "MCC / MNC tuple") to uniquely identify a mobile phone operator/carrier using the GSM/LTE, CDMA, iDEN, TETRA and UMTS public land mobile networks and some satellite mobile networks.
If this doesn't work ...the device is blacklisted & hardlocked

whoops then my factory mode was off ...because when I looked at the factorymode file awhile back ...it just said ON ...so I always assumed ON ..meant ON ...but its reverse ....:silly: ..lol

I dont know the progress you have had ..if any ...& what exactly has been done to the device
but I've searched around quite a lot & 4 things can only be ...why your not getting signal
Wrong APN Settings ...Damaged EFS ...Network Block...Damaged Antenna
There is nothing else inside the device that would cause no signal transmission
Do you have WiFi & Bluetooth ??
Had seen a similar problem with Note 2 and there the imei was currupted dial *#06# and see what u have on screen it could be that the imei will show something like 00460.
@MeMoM&aVirusTI Its a request plz avoid using so many dots in ur post.

Firstly, follow the steps in:
General > Sticky Roll-Up Thread > IMEI / EFS - Know this stuff
Which, as you can guess by the thread title, you should know.... There are steps to get out of factory mode and also info about the IMEI number. Serial number may be a different issue. Deal with that later
The same problem that i have now
Hi, did you solve it?
I have the same problem with my S3, Yello letters on screen.
I tried to use the secret codes in order to put off the debug diagnostic menu but without results, maybe I put mistake code in order to get it out.
But of course this is not the only problem I have. If I coud put it off, maybe I can use it as a TOMTOM Device with GPS and sometimes with WifFI Tools or put it
in my bedroom in order to look at my ipcams...
BUT FIRST I HAVE TO GET IT OUT YELLOW LETTERS ON THE BLACK SCREEN.
I discovered that my imei is
0049990164000008
This is a generic Imei, and maybe the phone will works if I SAY IF I could change Imei with my original IMEI Wrote on the package of my phone
I don't want to put a strange or a fake imei that is illegal but just MINE.
I have this that maybe help you:
PDA: I9300XXEMC2
PHONE: I9300BUEMC3
CSC: I9300VFGEMD1
So I tried to use ODIN to do a lot of things but without any results.
I read about ARIZAPatch A TURKISH developer has do this apk but I cannot use it cause I cannot root my S3, I tried to do, ok it sais REMOVED but when I install
BUSYBOX and SUPERSU... and ARIZAPATCH.... IT SAYS NO PERMISSIONS.
CAN YOU HELP ME PLEASE?

NOTE 3 N900P SPRINT LOST APN,IMEI after Factory Reset! Help S.O.S

Hi XDA ,
Am new in the Forum & First of all thanks to all of you for helping the forum and people. I'm having difficulties and I cant seem to find the way to fix this(its been 2 weeks)
My problem is the following: I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 details:
software version: N900PVPUBMI3
hardware version N900P.00
Status: network: Digital roaming
mobile network type CDMA-AxRTT
Android 4.4.2
KERNEL:[email protected]#1
A friend bought me this phone and called my carrier METROPCS and made them set up the phone so I could use it. they asked him for imei and sim number. He was able to use the phone and 4GLTE(he was doing this to verify it was unlocked) later on he gave me the phone and I had to do the same procedure he did but first I did a factory data reset.
After it I wasn't able to set it up again.
I've noticed that APN SETTINGS has disappeared from the menu, cant search for networks, when I load IMEI it no longer shows the imei but it shows MEID B0000000 and besides all of this I have a message that says SIM CARD INVALID.(but the sim card works perfectly on my other phone)
I will all my life appreciate if you help me with this matter please!
PS. phone is rooted as far as I know(root check on Google play store said it was)
Sir,
Please wait until mods will move this thread to the device specific forum for more relevant answers.
Stand by
Good luck

You might try installing this app it find/gives all the hidden info on your device http://forum.xda-developers.com/not.../app-one-click-hotspot-enabler-menus-t2816159 it will give you APN's MEID AND IMEI . All you have to do is download to your PC, it my download as a zip file. Just use 7zip and rename it to an apk, then copy and paste it to your internal sd card via your charging cable. Then click on apk and install. Enjoy !!!
BTW your MEID is on a label under the battery !!!

Hi Jim/XDA
I'm still not able to connect to the network. Regarding the IMEI on the back part i know its there however what im saying is that im not able to see my imei through command when i dial *#06#
i as well had this errors today when i woke up:
: LTE:ESM-x EMM-14(ive seen this error when this issue started but it dissapeared and it came back know)
data roaming: you have lost data connectivity because you left your home network with data roaming turned off.
On mobile networks i remember i use to be able to select many(GSM,CDMA,etc) now in network mode i only see 2 options LTE/CDMA,CDMA. Currently LTE/CDMA is selected and if you just look at the network mode option without actually opening it it shows CDMA/LTE/EVDO.
Also when i opened the SCRTN it shows on black screen.
I tried to do some minor changes on Galaxy tools like the SIM UICC UNLOCK all mps,sales,default code on XAS. Factory & keystring ON. MSL/SPC show 222222.
After i did SIM UICC UNLOCK and restarted phone know took away all errors but i see the signal bars faded out and with a little red x on top of it. I've read the manual but im still wondering if there might still be things to set on a particular way that are not specified on it Can you please help me set this up properly?

Is this a Sprint variant? If so, you shouldn't have factory reset the phone. It looked like the phone was previously flashed to MetroPCS and by resetting the phone, it removed all the carrier data.
You will have to reflash the phone to get it working again.

I greatly appreciate your help,

Hey guys, for those who need to edit an APN (Access Point Names), there is a little secret.
Go Settings, and scroll down the list. You will find a search box. Type there Access Piont Names and here it is.
The steps above are neccesary, since APN setting is hidden.

Emergency Calls Only after flashing

Hi Guys
Need some advice here. Not sure if i mess up or something.
I have had Aragon 1.5 up and running since last week and most things are running quite nicely. I flashed the stock rom 20160419 (available here) to see if Android Pay would run., which it didn't. After i flashed, i notice i both my SIM card won't connect to network. It just displays as Emergency Calls Only. The SIM manager can see the cards but just wont' connect to network. I thought, that's odd. So I flash back to Aragon 1.5. No luck. The problem stuck. Everything else is working normally, just won't connect to mobile network. I tried my SIM cards on other phone and it happily connects and made calls. So I am lost.
Any advice is appreciated.

I have had Aragon 1.5 up and running since last week and most things are running quite nicely. I flashed the stock rom 20160419 (available here) to see if Android Pay would run., which it didn't. After i flashed, i notice i both my SIM card won't connect to network. It just displays as Emergency Calls Only. The SIM manager can see the cards but just wont' connect to network. I thought, that's odd. So I flash back to Aragon 1.5. No luck. The problem stuck. Everything else is working normally, just won't connect to mobile network. I tried my SIM cards on other phone and it happily connects and made calls. So I am lost.
Any advice is appreciated.

Can you see your IMEI numbers and baseband version in settings?

Google IMEI.exe - according to XDA rules/policy that's technically as far as I can go with regards to helping you (changing IMEI is a grey area). I had this happen to me yesterday while testing my own ROM, spent a lot of time google'ing around.
If you need more info/help drop me a PM :good:

I have a solution for restoring IMEI:
In the dialer: *#*#3646633#*#*
OR
download "MTK engineering mode" app and start it
it will open engineering mode:
1/ go to "Connectivity" tab
2/ go to "CDS information"
3/ go to "Radio information"
4/ then select "Phone 1"
5/ At the top there is a command line "AT+" in it
6/ type AT+EGMR=1,7,"your imei number" (for example: AT+EGMR=1,7,"012345678901234")
7/ then hit "Send at command" (if you got error try to put space between "AT" and "+")
8/ go to "Phone 2" and type in the command line: AT+EGMR=1,10,"your imei"
9/ hit "send at command"
10/ restart your phone and it should work
You can check if it changed at Settings -> About Phone -> Status -> IMEI information
If your forgot your original IMEI numbers you can find them on the box of the phone
You guys are awesome!
Thanks to both. Went with the engineering mode route and needed to at the space. Now back rocking both SIM cards. Really appreciates it
