[Q] Galaxy s problem - General Questions and Answers

Hi, I have a samsung galaxy s in the uk, that was originally on virgin , but when I bought it was new and unlocked. I wanted it to run on the network 3, however It wouldnt work when sim was inserted (it said data network not available when I attempted to call someone). Any other sim than 3 worked. I contacted customer support, and they wouldnt help in any way except from say that the firmware is incompatible. I have tried with odin and non of the firmwares seem to work. Please could you reccomend a uk 2.1 - 2.2 firmware that works with 3 mobile simcards.
Thanks,
Stanley

I have just tried with odin the firmware I9000NEJP5 however mayne I had a dodgy vesion because it said no com port or something and then failed. Please if anyone is with three and has there sgs to work please send me a link to the firmware. After trying many times it worked, however would stick on the boot screen displaying the galaxy s logo. Please is there anyone who can tell me their firmware vesion that works with h3g (three mobile uk).
Thanks again
Stanley

[Q] P3100 can't make or receive calls after official update. What to do?

The provider specific SIM menu is available, but the tablet shows no signal. Even when it shows one, the signal disappears the moment I try to make a call or am about to receive one. The caller can still hear ringing while the tablet lists the call as missed call.
My father's Galaxy Tab 2 7" automatically tried updating through wifi but failed (I presume), and the SIM functions stopped working.
After many attempts I updated it through OTA to the latest firmware, shown as PDA:NA3 / PHONE:LK1 / CSC:NB1 (INU) in Kies, and the Android version was listed as 4.1.2., but the problem persisted.
I tried to wipe cache. It didn't sort the problem.
Then I Installed CWM 6.0.7 and Cyanogenmod 10.1 (JB 4.2.2) using this tutorial: wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_p3100
Still it can't make or receive calls.
Baseband version is listed as p3100ddclk1
What to do?
Is this a hardware or firmware problem?
Hey brother,
Even I am facing the same order on my tab but in a different way. I can recieve signal for the carrier Tata Docomo but other carrier are showing any sign of life
But sometimes while on tata docomo , I lost signals while using data or when I got a call. And one more thing, I was on a trip to a hill station and there I was getting signals from Vodafone perfectly (my main service provider). But when I came back from there I ain't receiving any peice of signals from vodafone and Docomo is working as usual with few network losses during the day.
PS.- I ain't received any solution yet, still sticking up with that problem.
PPS.- The tab I brought is in used condition with the fact that the tab has that problem in it. (I need not to pay much lol)
Btw I think if we can flash new firmware (official) with odin with modem file, It may sokve our problem. TRY FLASHING FIRMWARE, I cant as I am low on speed

I am not sure about the Model file alone but you can download whole firmware from sammobile.com, they have firmware of all Samsung devices region wise, just login to enjoy better speed.
Hope this helps.

i already download the firmware for Malaysia and how to get the modem file from it? Should I extract it and search in?

Failing to flash stock firmware.

As title says I am having trouble flashing original stock firmware onto my phone.
The model number is: SM-G920F.
I originally installed a rom which caused my phone to lose it's baseband. I then tried to flash a stock firmware and it didn't work. In ODIN it just fails instantly.
I noticed that in download mode it says that the "product name is: SM-G920P" however.
So I flashed the G920P instead which got it working back to normal.
The only problem is I don't live in the US. I live the UK. The firmware is rejecting my sim card.
I want to flash the G920F and am having some trouble. If anyone could help I would appreciate it if someone could talk me through this.
I have looked around the forums etc and I haven't seen a solution to my problem.
Thanks in advance.
You've got a CDMA version of the S6, as far as I know, no UK carrier uses CDMA, they use GSM, so you're out of luck if you want to get it to work in the UK.

You can try using "Smart Switch". I wasn't able to flash ITV firmware over the BTU, it failed at hidden. I tryed with Smar Switch and it work.

Available CSC codes.... lots including VOD (which is the one I think i need)

Help Please

Hi.
I'm from uk ( hi to you all ). I made a mistake, bought an s8+ on ebay which ended up to be an usa model ( scam ) and after 1 month of usage suddently my SIM doesen't work anymore ( worked smoothly before ) also my phone says "no service" :crying: .
My SIM is working into other devices but no other sim works into my phone.
I believe i got some kind of virus or maybe a software problem..i don't know.
Tried factory reset, network reset, still no results.
Reading through the forum i tried out odin but i'm a newbee here ( never had usa models ). I tried 2-3 different ways but the result is "FAIL"
All i know when i enter the Download mode it says: carrier ATT
But my Baseband is G955USQU4CRE9 ( t mobile ) i dont know how.
Anyway, can anyone of you help me please with a step by step tutorial and maybe a link that suits my phone?
Thank you very much and have a lovely day.

I would make sure the device isn't blacklisted I have seen cases like this a bunch of times. All 4 major carriers in US can be checked on their websites. With the byod pages a lot as well as other places. If it is black listed you can use your local police. Plus eBay or where ever with your purchase receipt

Help finding FW for the Unlocked version (US)

I need help finding the Odin files for the model SM-F916UZKAXAA
For the US variant.
256GB Model
I'm in dire need. I've been fighting Samsung and many others to get something fixed and they all refuse to help. :/
Backstory: Bought secondhand advertised as the AT&T model. After a week stopped working(no calls or texts/data). Just an error message saying "your phone is not registered to a network, you can only make emergency calls"
baseband number in the settings is nothing I can find online. Google shows no results.
Sent to Samsung and they sent an email saying "sorry we cant fix your SM-F916UZKAXAA"
which google says thats the unlocked model not the att model.
which is weird because the boot showed the att logo and had all the att apps preloaded.
Further research shows this behavior is because Android doesnt know how to communicate with the baseband because nothing matches.
IDK what is going on. I Just want to see if trying to odin the supposed model FW will fix my issue.
You can try Samfrew
Here you can download the "U" variant (usually means carrier fw):
https://samfrew.com/model/SM-F916U/
And here you can download "U1" variant (usually means carrier free):
https://samfrew.com/model/SM-F916U1/
If you use regular Odin, it should only let you flash your variant version only (either U or U1)
You can look up patched Odin on XDA if you want to switch it.
