Hi all,
As a preface, I bought my Nexus S yesterday (Craigslist) already Unlocked and Rooted with CyberGR Mod v2 ROM loaded. I inserted my T-Mobile Sim Card and made a successful call; the person receiving my call confirmed it was in fact my phone number calling them.
I wiped the phone clean and did a factory reset. I flashed into the OTA ICS 4.0.3 official ROM and I received no signal. I noted that my baseband had changed to KI1 as a result.
I then tried to reflash into a modified ROM, but found out that Clockwork Recovery wasn't pulling up as it used to. In fact, Clorckwork Recovery won't stick at all. Thus I resorted to Fastboot to get into CWR and loaded Cyanogen 9. No signal.
Fastboot into CWR and loaded CyberGR Mod v2 like before. No signal.
Fastboot into CWR and flashed different I9020a radio images, JK1, JK8, KB3... No signal.
Any ideas? Am I missing something?
Thanks you all!
It looks like the previous owner scared the crap out of this poor Nexus S...
is the IMEI correct ?
input *#06# and report.
or T mobile is barring you for some reason ... did you contact them ?
Thanks for your reply mahanddeem! The IMEI on the back cover matches with what showed on screen. I will give TMobile a call right now and report back in this thread.
Edit: Will have to wait tomorrow for when TMobile customer service opens for business, but I'm still able to use my Nexus one with the same sim card.
I9020a uses frequencies for at&t. You should have gotten an i9020t as it uses the frequencies needed for T-Mobile.

I think you need to flash an at&t radio to get a signal. Not sure, though. I know you'll only get EDGE data speeds, no 3G.

Please don't bring a big problem on top of OP's ones .... Flashing an I9020T radio for I9020A phone wouldn't make it the other model and also not the other way around ..
And for the OP , you're welcome and feel free to hit the thanks button.

Huh? I said flash an AT&T radio. The OP said he has an I9020A, which is an AT&T phone. Nothing said about flashing a tmobile radio. Read the previous post thoroughly before replying, please.
No matter what radio he flashes, it will not change what the hardware supports. T-Mobile uses aws for it's hspa. The phone he has (i9020a) does not support it. No matter what he flashes, the best he will get is edge. what the OP needs to do is get the right phone.

After trying different radio images with inconclusive results, I'm now on I9020AUCKF1... also with inconclusive results. T-Mobile was of no help saying that they never supported the Nexus S model I currently own, and that I should contact Samsung tech support.
After going through Samsung support via Online Chat, they told me to hit up T-Mobile support at the end.
Lovely.

I'm sorry , you're right , maybe I was in a little hurry ... But it's just because of the importance of the notice ... For sure the OP would flash the correct Radio for his own device ...

yeah unfortunately sometimes each party is throwing toward the other , not suprising ...
I would clean , AGAIN , everything from top to buttom again ...
With factory reset + SD format
With CWM --->format / clean everything comes in your way...
Then install a full (try Gingerbread FULL ROM , 2.3.6) with its Radio and everything , for your model
And hope for the best ...

Have you tried editing the APN? If its unlocked tmobile should show up. If not just add it.

The ICS 4.0.3 rom you flashed is for the I9020T phone. It does not work for I9020A.
Try flashing the FULL original stock rom for your phone.
If it is a I9020A then it should be this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1445621
These have the correct bootloader, radio, and ROM.
The latest is Android 2.3.6/GRK39F

Good new start ....
Any luck ?
I'll give it a try tomorrow. Thanks for the help you all. Points for everybody!
EDIT: ejohnson0547 - I actually previously flashed into the Gingerbread ROM you listed; no luck there either. I did made sure that it was for the i9020a as well when previously flashing the legacy roms. Guess I'll start from square one again and try gingerbread once more. By the way, you wouldn't happen to know whether or not flashing an I9020T ROM into an I9020A Nexus will brick the radio, would you? I'm hoping that this phone still works with AT&T SIM cards, just in case I might need to trade or sell it off for the correct model of Nexus.

Tried editing and adding new APN settings with whatever T-Mobile network settings/names I can find online, but none have actually turned to my favor. Is there an actual updated list I can find and use that exists online or on XDA? Google has been failing me a bit these past few days
Just tried it a few minutes ago, and I only get a "Emergency Calls" signal, as well as only being able to view AT&T as the only Available Network under Mobile Network Settings. Kind of what I expected in the end, as this was exactly what I had been facing the past few days. Now if only I could find an AT&T SIM card to test it out...

Couldn't find this anywhere so I thought I would ask....
I've had the White Nexus S w/ AT&T 3G Bands for a week or so now and it's been great. Running CM7 with custom kernel and all is good. For what ever reason it started giving me the "No SIM" error. I have no idea why this just happened all of the sudden like this. Anyways, AT&T was kind enough to give me a new SIM and this issue just will not go away.
I'm out of ideas on this...
Any suggestions?

I'm not sure if this will work, but try to go back to stock, and see if it's works.
I'm a Vibrant user, so I have no idea how you would do this (least I won't until Wednesday, when I get the Nexus S 4G from Sprint), but try that, may fix your problem.

Bootloader shows the Radio version to be: I9020UCKB2
It even shows the carrier info to be ATT
What should the APN settings be for AT&T?
Borrowed the APN settings off of a Bravo here inside the store and and when I save the settings it doesn't list the APN like it should. I am saving the settings but it doesn't show after its saved.
Uuugggghhhh...
Now I'm having issues with flashing the stock radio...
Here's what the device is telling me:
"Verify Image (RADIO) ... Fail
And of course cmd prompt just shows where the write failed. I am using the radio file found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1033269
I'm just simply extracting the radio img from that zip and using fastboot to apply.

Yeah I have. I received a brand new one from AT&T when this first started.
I've given up on fixing this device. I contacted Negri Electronics and asked for an RMA. This unit has to be a lemon. This will make the first time I've ever had to send a phone back. Hopefully the replacement will be a better unit.
Hey guys,
I'm looking for a little help here. My Skyrocket seems to be having radio/modem issues.
Instead of having a symbol that displays cell signal, I have a circle with a line through it. This is true with or without a working SIM inserted. For baseband version it says "unknown".
I've tried flashing to stock and that didn't seem to make a difference. I got this phone second hand so I don't know if the previous owner tried to flash an incompatible rom and borked up the radio firmware possibly?
Any thoughts about what I can try?
That all depends on which method and tar you used. Some tars dont come with the radio. and with the wrong radio on a rom you will get a RIL mismatch and no signal

So I'm unsure how it got to its current state. (meaning the circle with a line through it) To return to stock I used the K0nane tar that's in the sticky in the dev section. I don't know if that has a radio in it or not but flashing that didn't seem to change things.

That doesn't have a radio in it. Look in your "about phone" and tell me what your baseband and android version says.
After that I will probably say to flash the sammobile tar...
Also, Did you have the correct plan added to your service when you switched phones?
baseband version = unknown
JimmyStale said:

Right..
Assuming your plan has been provisioned for the new lte phone, I would flash the sammobile tar in odin
I'm going to give that a try. I suppose I'll just search for sammobile?
The SIM i'm using was provisioned for my previous Skyrocket. I ended up trading that but used the same sim in my new phone. So, I'm assuming the SIM/my account should be proivisioned for LTE since I never had AT&T change anything on their end.
And just to clarify, this doesn't really seem to be a "no service" type problem since its as if the radio isn't even recognized by the hardware.

Lol, I appreciate the helpful info in your reply. Just so you know, I don't seem to be having the same issue as any other post that I've seen. Unlike the other posts I've read, I don't have "no sim" or no signal, or no LTE. My problem almost seems like an issue with the SIM slot itself. I think I can rule that out because I've actually replaced the SIM slot with a known good SIM slot. The other reason I think I can rule this out is because I am unable to access the radio related content from within the service menu. Unfortunately I don't think there will be a :oof:: that fixes what I have going on. (I wouldn't mind being wrong on this)
So I flashed the sammobile tar (multiple times) but no luck. The baseband version still reports as "unknown". What's more, my phone reboots after about 15 or 20 seconds. Very odd. Any other thoughts on things to try?

I'm going to try the multiple suggestions I got and report back. I'm also attaching the "screen shots"
Hopefully the attachments are here
I flashed EFSFix through CWM and then SAMMOBILE tar through ODIN. No luck, but ODIN did take about twice as long as it did the first time I tried flashing the sam .tar. Same symptoms, circle with a line through it and phone reboots itself after about 20 seconds. The baseband version still reports as "unknown".
I flashed back to stock through ODIN, flashed CWM with ODIN, and then flashed EFSFix again. Same exact results as the first time.
Next I flashed back to stock using ODIN, and flashed UCLE2 ROM through ODIN. Flashing this causes the reboot issue to go away, but the radio issue remains. (I thought to try the UCLE2 ROM because that's what was loaded when I first received the phone and the phone wasn't rebooting itself then)
Hi,
I'm trying to find specifically the right radio for rogers, for the infuse 4g.
I checked the "please have a look @ those threads b4 start new one" and none are related.
I've seen the full list of basebands, they look amazing, all those letters and numbers. But I have NO clue how to interpret which one is which. And i'm sure someone here will slap me a picard facepalm... ascii style... Or equivilant... maybe even a twihard facepalm...
However, i'm kinda needing this radio...asap... as I have no working radio on the infuse4g and its for work... the simcard does work in a sony erricson x1... 3g at least.. and that is for work, but I need the new one working asap...
Can anyone point me in the right direction? I don't just want to try every single one... and test radio range... etc... I'm needing kinda to get this perma working, immediately...

Trying it now, hopefully I get something, and i'm redoing the apns fresh hopefully that fixes it.... oi...
After some testing, it clearly still didn't work... I found out the why...
From my personal gnex, I threw its sim into the phone, and voila...signal... Problem isn't entirely the modem (more of identifying which is better). I even tried a gnex modem... (not kidding, it worked... oddly?).
Basically seems my corporate account messed up things.. and I can't fix it until tuesday 6am my time (canada holiday weekend...yay)
Thank you ALL for the support thoroughly.
I have a Rogers Infuse 4G and it I don't think I did any official updates to it. It had UXKG3; I just finished flashing up to CM10 and am now using UCLB3 which I think may have some signal issues for me out here but still in the process of testing.
I did a full backup using CWM as well as backing up my EFS... I don't know if that was before or after my modem changed, but if the UXKG3 modem isn't available online and you can tell me how I can "rip" it out of my backup files, I'll surely provide it to you since I too am thinking of going back to it if it turns out UCLB3 isn't doing too well.
I have seen posts that other people are having trouble switching modems on cm10, maybe it could be done with 7 zip before you flash. Also you need to hit menu button then select save then reboot after changing APN.
The problem flashing modems on CM10 are fixed... it was because of a new filesystem format for the /radio mountpoint and a different method of flashing the new modem. There are some modem threads here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=31097259
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342978
with working modems you can flash from CWM (I tried one earlier, worked perfectly).
Hey Guys! I recently picked up the HOX after three solid years on the Captivate. The rooting/flashing experience has been more difficult thus far but the device is pretty friggin' sweet. I unlocked and rooted with minimal issues and went to the latest CM10 nightly out of the gate. No issues were encountered at least during boot up. Once up and running however, the only network available is EDGE. I searched around and found posts in other device forums stating this is due to corrupt/missing IMEI. Did not see anything about this for the dual core HOX. I checked the ATT APN details and they matched what people were posting around. The IMEI is correct in the about phone->status info. Available networks shows ATT and US only. If I try to manually select ATT, it states it cannot reach this network at this time. So it appears I am lost at the moment. Should I reflash CM10? or start over at stock? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

I flashed a gapps-jb-20121212-signed version. Stock CM kernel and left it s-on. The instructions I was following did not mention adjusting this, so I left it alone.

well, by now i'd say try another rom. or ruu back to stock and see if your phone has issues. or you might need a new sim.
I don't really have a solution for you but you're not alone. I was having a lot of issues with my phone dropping its data or telling me there's not SIM in it.

Understood. I think I'll RUU back to stock. Just to be clear, I came from 2.20 firmware. Do I need to fallback to the same version coming from CM10? Or can I use 1.85?
Found a thread on RUUs, looks like it recommends staying at your version minimum. Grabbed a copy of the 2.20 RUU but my comp won't even run the thing. Locks the joint up before it even prompts for step 1. Bad download maybe?
it takes awhile for ruu to load. i use winxp and don't bog my computer down with crap like "most" people.
those are the download links and md5 sums for 1.85 and 2.20

Turned out the issue was hard drive space. Dumped a buncha old albums onto an external drive and the RUU completed its run successfully. Sadly there was no change in the issue. The device remains on EDGE and I'm stuck with crummy Sense. Very deflating.
if you have an at&t evita and you are on at&t i think your problem is your sim card.
I'll attempt to get a new sim tomorrow. The office did do a "reset" on the sim but there was no change to the service. I did notice in the boot menu the S/N is different than what is listed on the sticker located on the back of the phone. Is this usually the case? or a sign of a potential conflict?
Tried a couple of different SIM cards at the office and remained on EDGE at all times. Tried the same card in a new HOX and it gained access to the 4G network with alacrity. So issue appears to be device related. Almost as if the ATT network denies the phone access to the HS networks. Possible conflict somewhere?
hi everyone. I need some help here with my At&t Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket. I had my phone unlocked and work on T-mobile GSM fine but I only got EDGE for data. I then flash it with with a T-mobile radio according to the instruction here at XDA forrum to try to get 3G/4G. after flashing the radio the baseband in the phone showed "unknown" and I lost both GSM and EDGE. the phone even didn't recognize my SIM card,I don't know If I did something wrong.
Here How I did
1. I flash CWM 5.8.x
2 I update to CWM 14.x.x touch version
3. Root the phone with SuperSU busy box
4. Flashing tmo_SGH-T989_VK1.zip radio
5. No signal.
It seem to be the radio I tried to flash didn't go in correctly. BTW I still keep the stock ROM form At&T (ICS 4.0.4)
Any one have experienced the same problem like me ?
Thank you very much for helping me out.
Just so I'm clear, you flashed a T-Mobile Only Radio on an A T&T Sim card? Check your APN too.

I flashed T-mobile radio on AT&T phone not SIM card. I lost my original AT&T Radio and new T-mobile radio didn't go in, now the phone doesn't read my T-mobile SIM card. I cannot access mobile network to check APNs without a valid SIM card since the phone doesn't see it.

the phone function was perfectly fine before I flash the radio. of course, no 3G/4G connection on T-mobile
the problem is after flashing custom radio, I have no radio at all. the phone is now a tablet
Did u make a backup? Did u try flashing a new radio? Try odin mabie and go back to stock and try again.

thank you for you suggestion.
I finally understand the problem the phone simply doesn't accept the radio. I flashed the new radio and turn out the original radio was removed and new one didn't go in. when i flashed a full stock ROM the original radio came back. may be the ROM and radio have to be compiled together.

Uh no you have to flash the modem before the ROM to get a good flash from what I've seen. Also I think almost every radio exempting maybe gingerbread radios as I haven't tested them should work on every ROM exempting maybe tw based.

The Rom or radio can be flashed in any sequence. The order they are flashed in has no effect.

Did you flash the radio two or three times in a row?

Fixed that for you. You forgot to mention that you have to hold your breath while you wipe dalvik 3 times, cache 6 times, factory reset 2 times, perform a backup and then flash a kernel from a different device.

I forgot the part of flashing with a kernel from a different device. That'll fix you everything
