[Q] lost data connection

First, I'm not too familiar with how ODIN works, so I'm a n00b to Samsung Galaxy S stuff. I'm used to HTC and LG. This is my fiancee's phone.
She has lost data connection. Rebooting, reregistering, turning airplane mode on/off doesn't make it come back. WIFI turns on and all that good stuff.
Here's what's currently running on her phone:
Firmware version: 2.2.1
Baseband version: T959VUVKB5
Kernel version: 2.6.32.9
Build number: FROYO.VUVKB5
Yes she has root. What would I need to do to get this back? If it involves flashing another ROM (been thinking about getting her on Gingerbread) than that's ok I'll just need pointed to a good guide for Galaxy S n00bs.
Thanks in advance for the help.
I'm also not sure if she has clockwork flashed or not. The phone was purchased used and was already rooted.

First go into settings > wireless and networks >mobile networks > and make sure packet data is on, if it is, go into access point names hit the menu key and click reset to default.
Make sure network mode is set to gsm/wcdma (auto mode) if not try switching between the other two options and see if that helps.
If none of that works:
You can try to Odin different modems.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192436
Try the KD1 modem first and see if she can connect.

I tried the settings already. No luck with those. I will read up on ODIN and try flashing those modems. Thanks.
Might just take the plunge and flash Gingerbread for her, but she hates restoring apps and stuff. lol

I tried that modem. Same issue. Any other suggestions? I'm open for any other ideas. Nothing has changed on the phone. No new ROM, no weird apps. Same geographic area.
I'm at a loss right now. I've never had this problem on any of my phones so I've never had to troublshoot/repair something like this before.

Sorry about the late reply. The IMEI shows up normal. It worked perfectly for a few months, and has only been acting up for the past week or so.

Are you sure your APN settings are correct? for some odd reason, I had to manually set the APN's for my carrier.
Try disabling wifi, as it won't get data connection otherwise. Then go to settings, wireless and network, mobile networks and then Access Points Names.
See if the carriers APN are all set correctly. Should be t-mobile's unless it's an unlocked phone with another carrier.

are you sure that the imei's fine? or is it a generic imei?
i know this situation all to well, my efs folder got f***** and i had a back up on my sd card but as luck would have it my sd card was wiped. and ever since then i could never get a signal on the phone.
so make sure its not that issue because honeslty if it is theres not a thing that you can do about it.

The IMEI is correct. It matches up perfectly. Sorry for the really late reply.

So IMEI is correct and data packets are enable?
Do you have a data plan on the phone? Check my.tmobile.com. If you do call tmobile and *****!

Yeah data packets are enabled.
Gotta check those APN's, though. Been looking for what the settings should be.

APN it was!
Thanks! Problem is solved and her phone works fine.

Sim card not allowing connections? [Help]

Flashed a few roms on my phone and never bricked it whats so ever. It shows the IMEI, how ever it doesnt match the IMEI it have on on the back of the phone. The phone came with 2.2.1 Froyo and i upgraded it with ODIN using KJ6 2.3.6 GB rom. I can connect to wifi and such. It's not the sim card cause it works with all my friends tmobile phones. I get bars on the phone with the sim card in it. But when i attempt to make a call it says "Not registered to Network" i went to Settings>Wireless and network>Mobile Networks>Access Point Names, i went there to do the APN Manually i tried setting it to Default and it didnt help either.
Anyone know's how to fix this?

Alright , Im giving it 20mins. Hopefully it works. It's been too long and i'm starting to give up on this phone.

Still having a problem, You know any other solutions? I don't wanna have to pay for a new phone lol. If you do can you have it in FULL DETAILS. Cause i want to make sure i have have every thing correct.

I got all day to try to fix this. I don't want to try reflashing things cause i don't know if i can mess it up or cause more problems.

So.... you have flashed a few ROMs..... meaning you have at least ONE nandroid back up from when the phone worked?
If you do... you are good to go. If you don't..... good luck to you. You have what sounds like a generic IMEI.

Well i don't, didn't know i have to. So in other words it's impossible to get this phone back on?

I had the same issue with my phone, it just wouldn't stay on Network, and the SIM would go back and forth from being recognized or not. I flashed back to stock and it still didn't work. The ten minute battery pull was suggested in another thread and a few people swear it works. Mine played up before this was suggested so I never tried it.
I had the same thing happen with my wifes phone and all I could link it to was the Kj6 modem...see link below. I reflashed the whole ROM and it came back.
With my phone I just called T-Mo and told them that since I upgraded to 2.3.6 via Kies that my phone wasn't working properly (Technically true, but a little stretch). I flashed Bhundvens 1click to stock, factory reset, etc...etc... then paid $20 and got a replacement phone via UPS in about 4 days.
I not saying you are having the same problem as I did, but it sounds very similar.
As a side note, the replacement SGS4G (refurb) they sent me absolutely blows my original handset out of the water when it comes to signal strength. I get solid 4G speeds of 5MB+ in my house, where before I only got patchy edge. I was amazed at the huge difference in performance between two supposedly identical handsets.
I hope you can get this remedied without an exchange, but you should be able to get a new one for $20 as a last resort.

Back ups are suggested all over this forum. Now you know. It is not impossible... google 'generic imei' and look at the dozens of ways people have had success and failure trying to remedy it. There are a ton of threads in the SGS 4G forum alone.
And whether you fix it or get a new phone... make a back up of your efs folder FIRST thing along with a nandroid back up. It will save your ass if this ever happens again.

Mobile Network not available

Hi i traded my phone, and he installed the wrong thing and broke it. I thought i could fix it which i did. Now though when i load it up it has no mobile network. I can connect to wifi. I called atnt and they said my imei was fine. I registered this phone with them when i first bought it, so i dont see how the imei could bad. I think he tried to change the carrier to something else and messed it up. Is there any way i can get my mobile network back? ITs a atnt i727. What should i be looking for to change the carrier to what its suppose to be. The imei is the right one from the back of the battery.

Isnt that for the data? I reset it to default but it didnt help. I cant make phone calls or anything. Is there a setting to tell the phone to connect to at&t or something like that? Or is there any way he broke the hardware? Under the settings about the phone it shows my phone number.

Thanks for trying guys. I have a update I got like one bar last night and it received like 4text and then got none. My girl friends phone is getting service, so does that mean something in the phone is broken

More details on what he did to break it and what you have done to fix my guess is that you need to flash a better working radio
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk 2

Well when I got it back it was is a mode I haven't seen, kinda like the download mode but it said Odin kies mode. Im not sure what ics he tried to put in it. But I put back in the flash to stock Odin from the site and it loaded back up. Then I saw it didn't have service so I installed Cw recovery and installed sky coke. Which I have now, also tried some kernals but that didn't help ethier.now I have sky coke no service to atnt for calls or text but wifi works. I don't get service even in emergency mode.

Try finding a gingerbread radio FOR THIS PHONE and flash it my guess is that is your issue I don't have links but they exist somewhere in this noob ridden skyrocket forum
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk 2

Thanks very much, i tried that and it still doesnt work. Weird enough every once and awhile it works, it should like it must of dropped it in water or something, and bricked it on me so i wouldn't realize what was going on. Or am i wrong? Is the thing that receives and transmits cell calls and text able to brake hardware wise?

What I would do is try a new sim card. All the network info is on there. If you did something wrong with roms or whatever, you could fry the sim. I would also make sure to have complete stock and I mean bone stock att rom( no root) placed on it. This will make everything back to factory and a better way to eliminate the problem. Sounds to me you have multiple and nothing meshing together. Search forums to return to stock which most likely would be gb 2.3.6. Good luck.
Oh and make sure you read closely and carefully. Returning to stock can be dangerous if you don't follow the directions step by step and have patience. You have nothing to lose if the phone is already borked. Its worth a try.

I'm having the same exact problem. And unfortunately, it looks like it has something to do with the CM 10.1 itself. As CM 10 works perfectly fine and gets me a signal, CM 10.1 won't be able to get me services.
I don't think there's a fix on this yet.

I'm going out on a limb here and guessing you're on a different baseband than UCMC1.

[Q] Nexus S unknown IMEI and baseband - No reception

Hello,
My Nexus S has lost its IMEI and baseband all of a sudden. I tried flashing several radio.img files but still did not get any reception. It's the same.
* I do NOT have a backup of my EFS partition.
* I "DO" have my IMEI number if it is possible to write it back.
* I do NOT have any Samsung service centres in about 500 miles of the geo location I reside in.
* My phone has CM10.1 on it. When this happened, it was on the stock ROM but rooted.
Any help regarding this would be highly appreciated as XDA is my only source of information and my only tool to help me get this fixed.
Thank you.

Somehow, my phone is heating up really fast at the top end near the camera and drops battery like crazy. Fully charged, it will drop to 0 within a couple of hours even with aeroplane mode turned on. WiFi works just fine but there is no reception and *#06# does not return any IMEI

Help! Can't get signal/data

Well, last night I decided to simply reboot my nexus 5. That's it.
After it came back up i no longer had a signal or connection. I figured, huh that's weird so i rebooted again to no changed. Not long after the rom I was running Purity, started to boot loop and crash and loop. So i knew something was up.
I noticed my IMEI wasn't showing, so i was even more concerned. I wiped my phone completely, and got a factory image back on it. New recovery, and everything. Fastboot flashed a custom stock 4.4.3 rom, and the new radio, and nothing.
It boots fine, loads fine but cannot get a god damn signal. Just empty. It says when i try to call to turn airplane mode off, but it's off.
My IMEI does now show, just says service state - Radio off, unknown phone number, and disconnected mobile state. Went to T-mobile and they gave me a new SIM and no change.
I'm going to fastboot flash back to stock 4.4.2 and see if any change.
Any suggestions fellas? Could use some help here.

You've done everything I would have recommended. I think it's a hardware failure and you'll have to rma it. Have you checked with your carrier to see if it's anything on their end?

well went to Tmobile, and they gave me a new SIM, but didn't work. So random for a failure on a restart, but Tmobile is sending me a new Nexus 5 overnight shipping with a prepaid label. Just have to send the old one back. And they are discounting my service for a few days too.
sucks without a phone though, now i'm backing my Nexus 7 up just in case **** like this happens again.

Honestly it appears to me that you're really lacking technical knowledge and moral integrity.
You were given a second phone after you voided the warranty on the first one and rendered it unusable. The first thing you do is void the second one and basically brick it again. It's really lame and I kind'a hope T-Mobile notices it. Sorry mate.

Not here to scold....
Just advice....
Don't do anything to the next one until you read read read....then do some reading. I suggest all relevant stickies. Learn exactly what you are doing. Then read instructions fully and only then......do. ?

Any news?
Hi everyone,
it's been 2 days i don't have signal. I lost it without even rooting/unlocking the bootloader. I called Rogers to know what was the problem but they think its the phone. The problem is that Telus sim card works properly... Band/Radio problem?
If you guys have any news of what is going on... It would be appreciated.
Thank you!

Then the rogers sim could be defective, or your APN settings are incorrect/missing. That would be my guess.

Honestly it appears to me that you're really lacking technical knowledge and moral integrity.
You were given a second phone after you voided the warranty on the first one and rendered it unusable. The first thing you do is void the second one and basically brick it again. It's really lame and I kind'a hope T-Mobile notices it. Sorry mate.

honestly, i don't lack any technical knowledge.
i followed the stickies here to the letter. it's a refurbished unit that t-mobile said was defective at the store.
i read, and read, and read some more, and understand it all now, i have everything down to the core, i bookmarked every important thread relevant here.
i hate people like you that assume I have no integrity or knowledge, i never caused the 1st one to fail, it just happened. the 2nd wasn't my fault either it just failed out of the box.
