Hello guys!
I got a Samsung GT-I5800 for few months but seems I have a big problem from some days actually.
I was using it when I suddenly lost the network coverage. Reboot, factory recovery, tried other carrier usims however it did not start to work again.
It doesn't work nor with automatic and manual network choice nor with enabled and disabled packed data whereas, if I try to send a message or make a call, an error popup appears saying "Data network not available".
I have never performed a root flash or something else so it is always been original factory.
here some info:
Firmware version 2.2
Baseband versions I5800XXJP4
Kernel version 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #1
Build number FROYO.XWJPI
I'm very glad if someone can help me to solve this awful problem given that the device is unusable
Try to add APN(search in the Internet for it) to your phone(Wireless and Network>Mobile networks>APN)
I already know what it is and it is configured (for my Internet plan)...
the real problem is that it cannot take the network signal anymore...there is a blue symbol like a circle with a line instead of normal signal bars

Oh my god. How ones can lost the IMEI?!!
Btw the IMEI on the phone is equal to one on the box.
....and now! If it is this the case, what about the solution?

Check your IMEI by *#06#. If it is all zeros then it is corrupted. If it's old one then it is fine
You can try disabling then enabling flight mode. Wiping data or dalvik cache. Good Luck!
PS: Backup your efs folder to PC using Root exlorer. It contains IMEI and must NOT be deleted. Just for safety advice!

thank you so much for the support
anyway the imei was one of the first checks, it's the correct and old one.
what do you mean with wipe data and dalvik cache? isn't it the same of a factory restore? (factory restored lots of time but nothing happens)
Did you tried zerofill? You can easily find by searching this forum.
Also have you tried putting the SIM in other mobiles? Do they work?
BTW, I know that feel bro. I know the feel to live without calling/sms for few days

of course every SIMs work in other mobiles. It isn't a problem about how I feel and so on. It stopped to work and bye bye no more mobile phone just a paperweight...
I had a search about zerofill. is it useful to delete everything, right? I didn't get how flash it and re-flash the original firmware...by kies?
You'll need ODIN for that to flash the ROM. [Make sure you read instructions]
It will wipe all phone data so take backup from Titanium backup first.

It doesn't matter the phone is empty due to several factory restores in order to try to solve the situation
Ok, thank you guy, I'll try to search some instructions. I'll give a feedback here...hoping it s gonna be positive
p.s. I found a zerofill G3.tar on this forum. Is it good for my galaxy GT-I5800?
Yes, It wipes everything in phone memory. All the previous traces. It might solve your problem.
PS: Or Flash any other firmware. It always works.

last 2 questions
so, zerofill to erase EVERYthing and the I have to download my original ROM to flash it?
the zerofill tar contains 3 files .rfs: cache, datafs and factoryfs. Do i have to flash these by odin? sorry guy but i don't find any tutorial about odin and zerofill
It looks you have never flashed a ROM in ODIN. In that case I would say forget zerofill and just flash a firmware you want. Because you'll need to flash a ROM after flashing zerofill too. I recommend Custom ROM as it is fast and more features, it will void your warranty though. But you can always flash stock ROM to get your warranty back.
If you want to go Stock, then you can find stock ROM at samfirmware.com. Download anyone from there. Post here when you finish downloading. I'll post the instructions.

I don't know what i can try now...
I'll give as much info as i can and will REWARD whoever can help me with this situation!
I have experience with different samsung phones rooting through odin and others never having much issues. This is first attempt with a tablet fyi.
Samsung tab 2 lte edition from at&t i497 5100
Attempted http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957165
root method through odin and everything was going alright until halfway through it said failed. I then rebooted into download and attempted this version http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2101044
This method seemed to work as i was able to boot into recovery cwm and go through the options. I then ran the supersu zip and verified that the appdrawer had it in there. things looked ok i thought. so now i was ready to download a rom. Attempted the most current CM10 nightly through recovery.- it failed giving me the status 7 error. i then went to the only post about status 7 in the all things tab 2 thread and attempted to download mobile odin but when i loaded the app it said not compatible with my device.
I then attempted to download a stock rom and remove root from phone because sometime in this all i lost the ability to use wifi and my imei showed missing in the settings. no attempt at unrooting seems to work because of the cwm not allowing me to use roms. I attempted to recover the nandroid i made the minute i "rooted" and its giving me the md5 sum error as well.
Please help!!

I'm worried for you, in that you have corrupted your efs folder - did you make an efs backup? as far as i'm aware, you can only recover your efs if you have backed it up. good luck.
If it helps I am an At&t store manager, and i do have access to a identical tab that is about to be sent back from a return. I am scared though of corrupting that one and then being in a worse situation. If i knew i could create a backup that could be moved to my personal one i would do it. is that possible? I'm not familiar with an efs backup but am researching it to check now.

I'm not sure it would, as a store manager you will know imei numbers are specific to each device!...you could swap the tabs over, but I don't condone that
Did you by chance rename the backup after making it? That has caused me problems in the past.

Sorry I can't help, but is this the 7" tab? I have the 10.1" tab 2 and my model number is i497... LTE edition.
I totally understand what you mean now, i wasn't thinking a backup would switch over the imei i just thought it would contain whatever identifiers needed not realizing it would have the actual number in that.. I used total commander to look into the root file and there is a efs folder with all the separate folders "bluetooth, wifi, and other folders".

I did rename it when i was going through a fix for the md5 sum issue, i was going through adb and couldn't navigate to the folder so i did rename it... i cant imagine that the recovery would have an issue just because of that? i wouldn't be sure what to name it back to.
I wonder if Samsung has any option for me to send it in and get them to reboot the thing. This sucks!

i'm pretty sure samsung has an option for you to send it in, but depending on what firmware your running/whether the flash counter has increased in download mode - your warranty would be void - or you may have to pay some $$$$ - they may even refuse. i don't know for sure though.

I appreciate you talking me through the different things, even if it doesn't fix my issue. I am probably going to call samsung to see but my flash counter is reset from triangle away and the firmware looks like it did before i ever rooted. but it says modified when i go to download mode so im sure they would know in a second that its my fault

if the counter is at 0 it sounds like you still have root access, do you?
you could try flashing a stock firmware through odin , which ever came with the tab - 4.0.4??? get the firmware from sammobile.com - that may :fingers-crossed: get rid of the modified status.

You're missing the point! He has a corrupt imei number. He can flash that but still won't be able to get signal.
I had a simaler issue with my S3 (d2tmo) as well as many others. Qpst I believe is what I used to get the imei back. I had the links all save on the laptop but it died 3 moths back. (10 year old dell). http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1801997 try that out see if it will help. I have some of the other stuff saved that I will upload to you. Search the issue on S3 (us variants) it could help.
Samsung Rocks!
Great news! Samsung had me send it in and they repaired it in less than 2 days of having it. their ticket email says this
Problem found: ESN corrupted
Solution: Replaced PBA
-- not sure what a pba is but they didn't charge me for the repair! I'm taking this as a gracious sign from above that i should leave it well enough alone and enjoy it the way it was made! I'll just stick to rooting my s3 and doing what im comfortable with. I appreciate all your words of help and advice to try and narrow down a solution.
First of all, you flashed some things not meant for your device. the CF-Autoroot method is designed for the Pxxx models, NOT the SGH/SCH models. Flashing this on your device flashed partitions it shouldn't have.
Second, the PBA is the mainboard. I bricked my tab a few weeks ago (typo in my updater script) and they replaced the PBA also. Samsung warranty is pretty great. Glad you got it fixed.
Always, ALWAYS, be sure you flash a ROM/recovery/etc designed for your specific device. The pxxx tabs and sgh/sch tabs are 100% different in hardware AND partition layout. If you flash a ROM for the Pxxx tab on a SGH/SCH tab, it will overwrite imei. Moderators REALLY need to suck it up and create separate forums for the lte tabs.

Hi, Small help required:crying:
I installed CWM 4 thru Odin without taking a backup or whatsover on my Stock ICS 4.0.4 on the Galaxy R. Everything was fine and i was able to access CWM, but my phone would be stuck at the Galaxy R logo screen. Tried everything from wipe dalvik to cache partition. But the phone wouldnt just recover
Then i flashed into Rootbox Vanilla JB ROM which was unstable and then to Avatar ROM which was fine but the WIFI was not working. Battery drain was huge.
Disappointed and flashed back to Stock ROM thru Odin which has the stock Android recovery. But now Wifi is not working
Baseband :I9103DDLP3 , Kernel : [email protected]#1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Nov 28 14:28 KST 2012 , bUILD # IMM76D
I would love to have a solution from all the guys, infact i would love to have 2
1. How to fix my wifi issue in my present ROM (reflashed 4 times to no use, restarted phone, enabled flight mode and off, factory reset several times)
2. I couldnt find a stable custom ICS ROM if i wanna flash again
Kindly help as my beloved 9103 is lying around with no use. Have to be contented with just a nokia 1100:crying::crying:
Why do you experiment and flash roms blindly if you don't know what you are doing? A small reading before flashing would have given you the procedure to be followed. BTW you still didn't give enough information about the state of your device right now. Which rom did you flash with Odin? Also, NEVER wipe data/cache/factory reset/format/anything similar on ICS. You are still on the ICS kernel. You are very lucky if you haven't bricked your eMMC yet.
@Nikhil or Disturbed™ will give you the procedure to follow.

Hi Adam,
I understand that i was a bit hasty in doing that. I flashed I9103XWLP8 ROM thru Odin finally when nothing worked out. Everything is fine now except the wifi. I am worried to use the eMMC brick bug app to check whether i bricked my eMMC. Would love to use a custom ICS/JB ROB under proper guidance, or advising where to look up

Just flash your country's firmware using ODIN & do check your binary counter in Download mode & yellow triangle also.
If all are fine then they willn't even know what happened.

I need to spend some quality time with my T235 in order to test your new ROM out.
Unfortunately, I do not have the time to do that today. I will install and test drive it tomorrow.
Thanks so much for doing this for us,

I'm assuming it should. Is the recovery the same for each device? The T230, T230NU and T231 can all run the same firmware. (Except the T231 needs a different Modem and the T230NU needs the NU kernel for IR blaster to work)
What is the difference between the two?

So.....this ROM is based off the SM-T235Y. But its just the system and kernel.
This ROM won't change any of the other firmware..ie recovery, modem and boot loader.

it recognize the networks available but it fails to obtain ip address .... other than that seems to be an amazing rom from XDA developers

I think I know what is causing that. I'll get that fixed shortly. Did you happen to pull a logcat? There is a missing symlink in my updater-script and I need to see which one.
Just a quick question, did you try a router reboot? Did you try to forget connection and then try to reconnect?
Thank you for stepping up.

This is a test version. If you don't feel comfortable they you are free to wait. If you do want to flash it and test to see if everything works, awesome.
With testing there are a few things you will need.
1. A stable backup to fall back on.....ie, make a backup in recovery
2. Odin and your firmware (in a .tar.md5 )
3. Knowledge of how to get yourself out of a bootloop
4. How to pull a logcat.
Its all up to you......every ROM and/or flash comes with risks. It boils down to, are you willing to take that risk?

Its all up to you......every ROM and/or flash comes with risks. It boils down to, are you willing to take that risk?

Well....I'll try 1st to solve the Nandroid problem, which is my little battlefield by now, after I've changed to a 64gb card...
Then, I'll see the flashing glam...

I'll check with RVR, to see if he has a fix. He created the recovery for the SMG-800F which I based this recovery on,, changing the kernel and the size of the filesystems based on the T235 factory settings.
He may know of the 64GB issue and since fixed it on the G800F recovery. If so I'll be able to fix this recovery fairly quickly for you.

I think I know what is causing that. I'll get that fixed shortly. Did you happen to pull a logcat? There is a missing symlink in my updater-script and I need to see which one.
Just a quick question, did you try a router reboot? Did you try to forget connection and then try to reconnect?
Thank you for stepping up.

First I did try "retry". when it failed again i did try forget and reboot tablet and tried all over again without luck.......

Wi-Fi, predictive text, Model, and LTE Bands
-- Confirming that my T235 failed to connect to wifi it recognizes the networks available, authenticates with the passcode, but fails to obtain an ip address which is necessary to connect.
-- Predictive text no workey even when turned on in settings.
RE: Phone Model and LTE Bands
-- Phone Info + shows that my Phone Model is now showing as a T235Y which isn't really a problem, but the original CSC code and the active CSC code both show (BGL) Bulgaria and the CSC Product code shows as SM-T235NYKATPL (T235). -- Only reason I bring this up is because I am still unable to do anything with the LTE bands of the SS222 on my T235.
-- Even tried to flash the T235Y modem firmware to the T235 device in hopes it would change the LTE bands to from EUR to Tawainese bands thus giving me some hope of eventually enabling US LTE bands on the device after that, but the T235Y modem flash fails to complete successfully, and then leaves the radio inoperable until I flash the T235 modem firmware back on to the device again. EDIT: was able to successfully flash the T235Y modem firmware onto the device using TWRP after I created an updater script, but the radio still doesn't work after a successful flash completion until I reflash the original T235 modem firmware back onto the device.
-- I'm thinking the remaining CSC country/model (BGL and T235) being on my device conflicts with the ROM Phone Model type (T235Y) possibly causing the T235Y modem firmware flashing to fail. I know I am reaching here, but this theory sounds much better to me than another possibility that the SS222 modem HW for the T235 won't support the different LTE bands supported by the T235Y, or any other LTE bands than it came with from the factory.
Anyone have thoughts, ideas, real knowledge or information whether the remnants of CSC in a ROM could prevent flashing a SS222 with a different region's modem firmware versus the SS222 modem hardware of each device T235 / T235Y only being compatible with the LTE bands/freq's it was shipped from the factory with?
I really hope its CSC not HW!

(Ahem...!) Any news about this?
I guess I know what occurs with TWRP: it DO write the bckp, but then, on rebooting, nothing is there. This is the common SD "issue" on KK, but now it occurs only with some apps, I think. I "SD-fixed" my card in any possible way for me...of course.
Right now I'm not able to delete 2 empty folders created weeks ago. Root Explorer apparently does it, but, on reboot, they are there again...
Therefore, I'm able to move files beetwin folders, and delete it.

This is a test version. If you don't feel comfortable they you are free to wait. If you do want to flash it and test to see if everything works, awesome.
With testing there are a few things you will need.
1. A stable backup to fall back on.....ie, make a backup in recovery
2. Odin and your firmware (in a .tar.md5 )
3. Knowledge of how to get yourself out of a bootloop
4. How to pull a logcat.

Hi g_ding84, any chance of a little more love for our T235 and T235Y's soon in the way of a fix for wifi and predictive text issues? Custom kernel is probably too much to ask for at this point.

Yes sir.....I've been really busy with work and the Fam. Lol such is life. Yes but still trying to figure out the WiFi issue. That's the main goal. I might have to switch the base to the SM-T235 and not the (Y) version.
Would someone be able to pull the whole /system and PM it to me......so I can see what the differences are?

I have a T235, I'm willing to do it, but you should know, I'm back to rooted , stock rom, with a modified csc for Open Columbia (COO) hoping I could force the SS222 LTE modem to work on band 17 here in USA.
Had no such luck with the modem, but the CSC mod is solid. Hate to lose that to only have to do it again, but I will if you need me to and no other offer comes in for whole /system of a T235.

How to "pull /System"? I have the NJ3 version just rooted....without modem or CSC changes.
It's necessary to flash OB base?
It's just taking Root explorer, copying /system folder?
Hmm, so I'm going to try and bring root to these devices but first I need current stock firmware. So the issue I've run into, and this is the first time I've come across something like this... is that there doesn't seem to be any stock fw downloads available online. There are some extremely sketchy websites that try to get you to pay for low_ship firmwares but I don't like that.
How do we get current stock downloads for our devices if nothing has been released? I need SM-J727R4 J727R4TYU1AQD4 stock firmware for Galaxy J7 US Cellular...
EDIT:
Managed to get this phone rooted and everything was working great. Flashfire may have borked my System partition when I was doing backups, don't know how. But now I'm bricked until I can get firmware. Sent an email to Samsung, we'll see what they say.
Do you if the phone it comes unlocked ? Im interested in getting one
Sorry, Im on US Cellular but Im not sure that it is. I dont even know how to find out.
By the way, the firmware thankfully has been released. You can find it at SAMMOBILE and samsung-firmware.
Hi. Please, if root will be done - will it also work on European languages? Well thank you.
What is your exact model number, is it SM-J727R4?

Root should work great for you.
Stock stock ROM J727R4TYU1AQD4_J727R4USC1AQD4_USC Precisely J727R4TYU1AQJ3_USC1AQJ3_USC_U.S_Cellular_7.0. Please, can anyone use TWRP and superSU to root? Well thank you.

There isn't an official TWRP release for this phone, but the SMJ727P is an exact match to the SMJ727R4 in hardware. Use the TWRP for that device, wipe your data partition to remove encryption, then without rebooting flash the Magisk 14 zip for root. SuperSU works but has some problems. You will lose all your data but this is what I did and it works well.
Now that goes without saying, if things go wrong I'm not responsible.
Please help. Everything is like me, but after the SuperSU v.2.79-SR3 is introduced and the following restart is still running: Verification failed. Well thank you.
Prize. J727R4 works on the Slovak and on the network. I want to share my experience.
1. Start uninstall without restart, all 5 items (Odin3_v3.12.10) Build number: NRD90M. J727R4TYU1AQJ3. After the restart process, we select a flashlight.
2. Release the rest without restart, insert twrp_3.0.3-1_sm-j727p_17517. After we start without restart, we select the flashlight.
3.Downloads without reboot. insert J727P-SR3-SuperSU-v2.79-SR3_rooted_boot_AQB9. after we pick the flashlight.
4. Trojhmat home, power, + set wipe-Gawlik.chase.data and select restart system in the menu. After the ratcheting and learning is the phone root and unlock.
Maybe I have to close this topic.
