[Q] Service is toggling after flashing JB on i727 - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

I have two questions 1) is my only way to fix this to go back to stock ICS using ODIN? 2) Once i get back to that, what do i do in order to get to a working version of JB? is it as simple as trying another ROM? Is it ok to skip ICS and just flash another version of JB?
Background if you want it....
Followed vincon guide : http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1773659
Started with Stock ATT 4.0.4
CWM via odin
baseb: UCLI3
I flashed JB [ROM] [4.1.2] [UCLL3] Stock Debloat to my i727 last night. Everything went seemingly smooth, everything worked with a strange exception being my exchange account wouldn't authenticate.Today my service is off about 95% of the time, then it will come on and ill get a text or two, then it goes off. voice calls dont work at all. LTE data is hit or miss.WiFi works
In phone status under network type its toggling: UTMS:3 to HSPA:11 to HSPAP15 to no service...then it drops everything and service state will say out of service and disconnected.
My IMEI is correct, I confirmed that.
It tried dialing the *#*#XXXX#*#* thing, that just said no connection and ended.
I started to go down the path of looking to flash a new radio, but that just doesn't seem like the answer to me... obviously the risk of me being wrong is high. i did check the MD5 numbers on other radios though and they came back as mismatched, so i did nothing there.
Also i wiped cache 3 times, as well as dalvek
Is there a simple solution that Ive missed or do i need to go to stock via ODIN? What, if anything, did i do wrong>

If you didn't flash corresponding UCLL3 baseband - AFAIK intermittent service is expected.
If you need to flash baseband - flash the latest UXUMA7 baseband.

Well i've actually had the exact same problem, in several variations and on several androids and here's my conclusions:
1 Magnetic storms and grid issues with the carrier. There's not much to do about these, except maybe for a making a tin hat for your phone. But, on a second thought this would also kill the signal
2 If the issue persists for more than a couple of days then the other thing for me was = radios that just didn't work with my carrier or rom. Changing these showed instant results.

I actually had this exact problem but for me it was on the carrier end. I tried every ROM and radio out there to no avail. After about a month and my parents also experiencing the issue, we called the carrier and they had it fixed in about two weeks.

did anyone with the network problem find a solution?

there were a lot of posts (including one of mine) where people complained that when data network mode was activated and they tried to answer / make a call, they couldn't. and if they did try to, it wouldn't answer and the network bars would become grey (that is, no bars) and it would take a couple of minutes for network to come back (or until you restart, whichever comes first).
anyway, i had some issues with my phone and i gave to the service center. i told them of it and they flashed the stock ROM + kernel. i had some other issues as well, so they said they'll keep the phone for two days.
so i'm getting my phone back tomorrow. now i want to know if flashing the stock firmware did in fact solve anyone's issues. if it did, i'll continue with the stock rom / kernel (please tell me which was causing you the problems). if not, i'll flash a custom ROM / kernel again. please let me know.
also, does anyone know why this happens? is some app causing these problems? because after flashing a new custom ROM (without any user apps installed) i can call / receive properly without deactivating the data network mode.
but, no user apps (and no google account sync either) = no internet traffic.
i'd request the expert devs (ROM makers, kernel developers, testers etc) to please leave their opinion as i'm not the only one who faces this issue. a few of us do and this is one of the few unsolved issues on this forum.
thank you.

ur last custom rom??? wer u using 3g turbocharger??
frankly i don't know what 3g turbocharger is :/
i was using kyrillos' ROM 8.0 (updated to 8.1) and i did run the supercharger script, but i don't think that's what you're talking about. i wasn't using the 3g network.
i've been facing this issue for a LONG time now. i've changed a few ROMs but same effect in all of them. maybe it's something to do with the european firmware (i live in mumbai, india) or something, i'm not sure. are you on vodafone? where in india do you stay?
Well even i am facing this strange network problem but only indoors!!
Outdoors the range is full!!
Since we all flash custom roms that are based on european base, i thought that the problem is related to the modem.bin AKA baseband!!
So i was thinking of just flashing the modem.bin again from any asian firmware.
But before doing that i flashed the old ddjg6 (eclair) rom just to see if baseband flashing is worth it.
Well the network problem was still there!! so the conclusion was that baseband/modem.bin flashing wont affect anything!!
stay happy!!
I cant remember if kyr8 had 3g turbocharger tweaks on build.prop.. But yes with 3g turbocharger on , I hav sum issues with data connection...

Btw did u get phone.apk force close while happenin this??
-tapatalked by RnB
phone.apk force closed often. but never because of the weird data connection. i think it just generally force closed.
and i have been facing this problem since kyrillos' 6.0 or 7.0. one of the two. can't remember. also, please look for my "a request for a custom lock screen?" thread in galaxy 3 general and let me know if you can help. thanks!
also, people who are facing such issues please leave your name and "symptoms" here.
yes i also face the same problem of network,no solutions found yet.but i am not sure whether this prob happens to all the network or just VODAFONE,as i am using VODAFONE only.
okay please visit this thread :

also, here's a bit of my network story if it helps anyone understand this issue :
i bought the phone when it was running Eclair. it worked fine for a few days then i started to face the issue. when i tried sliding the green answering thing to the right, it just wouldn't answer. it would go back in it's place. when people called me, it said it was unavailable. my network used to restart, and calls would randomly get cut and i couldn't call back immediately. i had to wait for 10-15 seconds before i could make / receive any call again. within this time, the calls would dial, but not connect.
so i upgraded to froyo (JP2) from the samsung gallery. my phone worked PERFECTLY for two months or so. no call drops, no nothing. then all of the above started happening again.
i tried flashing different ROMs, kernels etc but nothing helps.
and neo, i face this problem everywhere. indoors and outdoors.
okay so i'm getting my phone back tomorrow. does anyone have any tips for me? something that i should or should not do? like flash a european ROM or just the kernel or not to install a specific app or something?
i do have the same situation. it worked very good by me, till marcellusbe released his cm7 alpha4 i think. i installed it, and since then i have got that network problem, during calls f. example i lose the communication. i dont hear amything, it freezes, and turns back to menu after a few seconds. then i notice that its in the flight mode automatically. and this just happens me when i have got the data connections on. if i deactivate it i dont face any problems like that. i also noticed since i once installed cm7 alpha4 , i have got a strange battery drain. i charg the phone till its fully cjarged, after 3 hours i do not have any battery any more.. help me in that ... PLEASE
i really become frustated the whole time when this happens to me, pls find a solution!! ....

Well if flashing customs roms and kernels is not helping, you need to try only flashing the stock modem.bin!! I really dont know how to do that safely but people do it!! If you can update the OP like "Please help in flashing just modem.bin" then maybe someone makes and give you an update.zip or a tar containing just modem.bin.
If that too fails to solve your problem, then you must demand a replacement of the handset from samsung! Thats all i can say man!!
Well, the same is happening with me. Even i have vodafone and i live in pune, india. I didnt use eclair for alot of of time so I don't know whether it is a froyo-eclair prob.
The problem that happens with me is that, when i go to my classes (which are in a damn closed area) i dont get any signal. Even though the network bars are zero i still get messeages and phone calls. but when i call someone or message it does not reach. It only happens in some places like my classes and school, but not at my house.
I found a way (not quite conventional but works). I have found that when i flash a rom; irrespective of whether stock or custom; the signal catching is quite stong. But after a month or two it is becomes laggy again. So i flash another rom and again it's good. I dont know whether it is a correct method but works for me.

okay so i've been using the stock firmware for two-three days now. and i've been facing absolutely no network problem as such.
when i press *#1234# here are my results :
PDA : i5801DDJP2
phone : i5801DDJP2
CSC : i5801DDJP2
build info : 2011, 04
now can someone interpret this for me? i mean tell me what exactly this means. which of those is my ROM build, my kernel build, or baseband or whatever.
tell me if there are any custom ROMs / kernels built on these builds (or updated ones, but still indian updates) so that i can test if those work for me?
thanks.

There is no custom rom build on this build as this build is lot buggy than the other european firmwares.
And that phone is the baseband responsible for the network and all!!
Some people face network problems some dont!!
Here is the phone of i5801ddjp3 firmware
http://www.mediafire.com/?34yrw4b7fe63tri
If you unzip this file, you get the modem.bin
Now there has to be a way to flash this modem.bin over custom firmwares!!
here is the sgs version of it!! This thread contains of all modem.bin of stock firmware to be flashed over custom rom to get better baseband for samsung galaxy s!
Even I used to face similar problem but only on custom rom's not on stock ones.. but using the stock rom's is too boring so now I have flashed with purungrit's rom v.1.0, kernel G3 mod 2.0, and its working fine, no network issues. The theme is good with extended power menu and 5 lockscreen.. u can try this. we can flash custom rom's based on Indian firmwares and face no network problems, problem is only with European or other countries firmwares..

But the problem is that indian firmwares are a bit inferior as compared to european firmwares.. If you compare any indian firmware with jpq or jpu you will feel the difference..

[Q] No cellular wireless signal after Cyanogenmod 9 - ICS on i897

Not getting a cell phone signal at all on my Captivate. very rarely I get it and it stays on until I reboot for some reason, or sometimes goes off on its own. No problem with wi-fi or anything else.
Have had Gingerbread 2.3.5 - KK4 (official) for a long time, and did not have this problem. Here is what I did:
Installed Cyanogenmod 9.0 (ICS 4.0.4) on my Captivate that had the stock Gingerbread KK4. Also installed the gapps-ics package from 29 April 2012
I did this after rooting, and installing clockworkmod.
Even updated it to Cyanogenmod 9.1, but have the same issues.
More detail on it:
- The cellular radio shows no signal, but Wifi is on fine.
- When I press the power button, I see the power off and reboot options, including one that says "Airplane Mode is ON", although it clearly isn't since Wifi is working
- A couple of times, I rebooted into recovery, and did a "repair permissions" and rebooted, and it got a signal, but does not happen always
- Once the signal is on, it stays on for the whole day, but goes off again after a reboot
- Turning Airplane mode on and off does not help
Is this a modem issue, that seems to be a popular problem. It's almost as if there is a software bug that fools the phone into switching off wireless radio
Please help me fix it, or share successful fixes
I had same problem when I went to helly bean then back to remics-jb I flashed back to stock then back up to what I wanted it fixed the problem so I think its the modem.

KOROCK is right
So were you able to fix? I had a similar problem as well; I made the mistake of putting cm9.1 on and it bricked because I followed the instructions that popped up when I thought I had flashed it correctly. I tried everything; this is my daily driver so I had no choice but to find a fix, and find it fast as my clients were unable to get a hold of me for a few hours.... Anyways, got a little off track; but did you fix?

A little search/reading goes a long way.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1300843
KK4 is what you'll want to go back to stock but I highly suggest you read this before you do anything http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1350266
Also, before returning to stock, you could try flashing a different modem.
Check to see if your baseband is still there. If it said "Unknown", you need to restore it. CM9 is supposed to have the modem.bin file included though. Check to see if the /radio folder have modem.bin in it, if it does, and the baseband still say Uknown, then manually delete the modem.bin, do a wipe and reflash a CM rom that have modem.bin included.
If Baseband is still there and still no signal, then check to see if IMEI is corrupted or lost (if its null or doesn't match the back of the phone). You can either copy over the efs backup folder if you have one and "fix permission" in CWM. If not, then you need to ODIN the phone to stock to fix it.

[Q] i727 Network Drop after LiquidSmooth 2.5

What radio are you using? You should be using UCMC1.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
I have a similar issue. I've been running the March 23rd version of AoKp with no problems. However, I recently tried to install the latest version and my phone will not connect to the Rogers network (connects briefly during start up, then drops, this trend repeats infinitely). Even when I do get some bars of connectivity, it never actually registers with the network, so I cannot send/receive calls, sms, etc. All other functions work fine. Also of note; after first reboot after installing ROMs, all the correct APN's are there and it seems to default to Rogers LTE which is good, however never actually connects. Then, after a subsequent reboot, all APN's are missing and I cannot manually add any (when I save them, they don't actually save).
I've tried installing the latest version of CM - same issue
Tried flashing different radios to no avail (running UCMC1 currently)
Luckily I'm always able to restore my backup to that March 23rd version AoKp which still works without issue. My next step is to revert back to stock ROM and either stick with that or try installing a fresh custom following that.
Any idea what the issue is???
I'm seeing the same issue as well on AT&T.
I tried reverting back to the regular Cyanogenmod Rom, but I'm seeing the issue where the radio keeps dropping and connecting back every few seconds.
I'm on baseband UCLI3. Is that the best version to use?

[Q] Flashing to stock - phone force closes process com.android.phone, help

Please bare with me since this is the first time having to post for an issue since I usually find an answer on your forums
So here's the situation.
I bought the photon q 4g lte from ebay and it came with the unlocked bootloader.
Needless to say it was with the stock ics and i tried to find a jellybean update because it wasn't taking the ota and ended up going with cyanogen since i had no problems before. However those phones i had before were with sim cards not cdma.
I found out i couldn't update prl or profile manually without having to do something on the pc.
So after searching left and right i found i could use rsl lite (I used 6.1.5) and eventually found the "stock" file from this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2095536&highlight=rsd+lite
I did the stock jellybean, got it to go through the process and it booted up with no errors.
However, when it boots into the os it pops up a force close on omadmclient_sprint_dataservice and eventually also on the process com.android.phone.
I tried putting it in airplane mode to see if the service error would go away but it didn't work for the process part crashing.
I tried re-flashing, deleting cache in recovery, doing a data/factory reset in recovery and the one time i was able to do a data factory reset within the settings menu.
I could not find anyone that said they had a rom that worked with sprint and updating prl within the rom, if anyone knows of one let me know and i will flash it through rsd.
Otherwise does anyone have an idea of what could be happening because googling the omadmclient part did not pull up anything specific and pulling up the process issue for other phones has not helped me either.
Was this a hacked GSM phone, or are you using it as CDMA?
I've never heard of people having FC issues after flashing a FXZ from RSD. Which one did you flash? Android 4.1.2 - Sprint US - 9.8.2Q-122_XT897_FFW-5 (No simlock) ?
If you are on stock, you should be able to update the PRL within the ROM.
I was trying to use it with cdma network through sprint. and yeah that was the file i downloaded, had to remove the getvar to get it working but flashed with no errors after doing that.
As for updating the prl i can barely navigate through the phone, there is no home page loading and the process pop comes up often enough that its hard to go through the settings

Sounds like something went wrong mate. Are you already activated on Sprint? I don't know if that would matter, it might.
I would honestly redownload and redo the RSD process.

I originally tried to activate the phone through cyanogen and then when the rep said he couldnt do it because of the lack of prl to update within the rom we just setup the activation back on the old phone/ That phone is working on the network.
I re-downloaded the file just in case and re-flashed but same problem. The only thing i thought of was maybe updating the radio but since its a stock rom it should work out of the gate. whats also weird is i tried turning wifi on but it didnt work either.
Anychange you know of a rom that works with sprint. I dont care if its stock since i would probably root later again.

Try another perhaps...? I honestly have never heard of this. It sounds like the phone might be damaged, or the RSD process just did not flash correctly.
I guess I should ask, was the phone modified at all for the GSM SIM slot mod? I wonder if having a non-Sprint SIM in is messing with it... That is just a shot in the dark.

so far the only rom i tried was 10.1 cyanogen and the stock rom for jellybean. However for the stock rom it doesnt let me downgrade to ics with rsd 6.1.5 do you think if i downloaded an old version i could downgrade to a lower stock rom?
Also I honestly had not looked for the cdma roms since most of what i saw was troubleshooting related for this phone but i just saw this rom -AOKP 4.2.2 (Android Open Kang Project) (CDMA&GSM) that you created - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2293892
I re-rooted and installed that one and it looks great, just wondered how you got sprint to activate the phone or if you had done it before changing the rom? Also how would the prl and profile be updated.
Lastly the wifi wasn't turning on this time either, it did work initially when i got the phone so that has me stumped.

To downgrade to ICS, you need to remove some additional lines. See this post for more information on that.
However, you should be able to update the PRL on either stock ROM.
I think I said this before, but I will say it again. You need to do PRL updates, activate the phone, and get EVERYTHING working on stock BEFORE you flash ANY custom ROM. This is just standard practice - you don't want to put the cart before the horse! Get the phone working, then play with custom ROM's.

[Q] SMS won't send. Can receive/send MMS calls and Data

The Problem/Symptoms: I've been running a version of last CM10.2 for the past year. On February 20th, I was able to send a single SMS and then subsequent texts failed. I could still receive SMS, send/receive MMS, send/receive calls and send/receive data. If I toggle airplane mode/reboot I can send another SMS and then subsequent sms are undeliverable.
What wont work: Flashing to CM11 does not change the issue.
Disabling Voice+ does not change the issue
Factory Reset does not change the issue
Workarounds: Toggle Airplane mode
Switching Mobile Network to CDMA only (not permanent)
Change your number to a different area code
Going back to a Touchwiz based ROM
The Solution

Alright. I think I've refined my process and it results in having a newer radio as well as not having to ODIN things or do dd commands.
NOTE: This isn't fully tested. When I did this, my phone wasn't showing the issue. I did this after doing my original procedure, but the GPS stopped working after I updated the radio from VRALF2 to VRBMB1. You shouldn't need to do the original procedure for this to work, but I haven't tested that. At the very least, the original procedure still works and this one can be used afterward if you need the newer radio. (GSM support...)
Ideally, we'll want to get to a procedure that doesn't use ODIN or dd. Hopefully this is a step in that direction.
Requirements:
A rooted stock ROM of the VRUCML1/4.3 vintage. I used Scott's Stock Rooted Knox Free VRUCML1 - 4.3 - DeOdex - V2. (Thread here.)
VRBMB1 AIO Flash, available here. (Thread here.)
I'm going to assume you know how to boot into and use recovery.
NOTE: Do NOT let the stock ROM install any updates.
Starting with my CM11 M3 install, I did a nandroid backup. (Recovery is CWM Touch 6.0.4.5, but I doubt that matters.)
Flash the VRBMB1 AIO.
Wipe data and cache.
Flash the stock ROM.
Boot into the stock ROM.
The reprovisioning seems to happen as a part of ROM's initial boot up.
Send a few text messages to test. (I sent them to Twitter.)
Launch the Maps application, turn on your GPS and let it get a lock. If you don't, when you boot back into your ROM, you probably won't have working GPS.
This would be a good time to back up your IMEI if you haven't already done so.
Reboot into your recovery, wipe data/cache and restore your nandroid backup.
At this point, you'll be running your preferred ROM with a less archaic radio than my previous post.
DO NOT UPGRADE YOUR RADIO. The moment I upgraded my radio, the problem came back!
CM11 M3 will work just fine with the old radio. I've rebooted several times over the last few hours and it still works fine. (Time will tell if it's a long term fix or not.)

Notes: There are threads for the S4 with this identical problem. All updated information I have seen is listed above. If anyone knows more please post as I am going to keep this updated. If this does/doesn't work for you please post and let the community know. Feel free to hit the thanks button if it works for you.
This exact thing happened to me. I tried many fixes with no luck. After hours of hacking around in settings, I found a ROM of verizon's 4.3 OTA update and flashed that through ODIN. My texts are working just fine again. Kind of a cheap method of fixing my problem. I wish I could have taken more time to find a fix, but I needed to be able to communicate with people that day.
Stock 4.3 is kind of lame:
-4.3 is killing my battery faster than ever. CM11 had me going for days without charging and now I've needed to charge everyday.
-Stock 4.3 is laggier/slower than CM11. It tends to stutter for me.
-4.3 came with a new boot loader which no developers have exploited to install custom ROMs yet. This leaves you stuck with Verizon bloat. I hate all these damn apps. Going to try to safe root & see if I can't do some cleanup work.
Enough ranting. Just wanted to let you know you are not alone with this problem. Hopefully someone will figure it out. Missing my cyanogen mod already
It seems this problem has happened on other phones also running Cyanogenmod. I found this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2654822
It looks like the symptoms have all showed up at the same time approximately. (February 19th, 2014). Still looking for a better answer than going back to stock TW...
Edit: And another thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2659280 This one suggests its all AOSP roms. But it seems many people are unaffected... I don't understand why/how.

SO this is the current status that I know.
The problem happens for everyone with a 570/717 area codes + on verizon + running Cyanogenmod (possibly any AOSP) + while connected to LTE which started on Feb 20th (the day before KitKat came out offically).
Current Workarounds:
Switch to TouchWiz based Roms
Switch your radios to be CDMA only
Call verizon and switch your number to a different area code
I know the workarounds all suck but that all I know for now. Switching SIM cards won't work. If I anyone knows anything more please feel free to let me know.
I'm 717

I have still be unable to find a solution for this issue. I think I have to give up on CM and go back to a TW based. If I hear anything new I'll update the post but I don't have the time to be wasting on my phone at the moment. If someone finds or hears of a fix or if it magically goes away as it started, please post it.
And spread the word if there are any other ROMs that this is occurring on. It seems the pool of those affected is just too small.
I have already had to give up. Been running slows tw. I take it Verizon didn't get back to you?

Godspeed my friend.
Anyone try aosp to see if fixed yet?
Nope. Still having issues. Tried gummy and cm. TW based roms are fine. In 717.

I try every other day. 717 for me. Remaining hopeful it's fixed... One day...
What gapps are you using? I have been using the PA 0Day gapps. Going to try the gapps package from invisblek and see if that makes a difference.

It won't. It isn't software dependent. People who had already flashed builds prior to the 20th magically had issues starting on that date, so it isn't a problem with new builds, and it only happens to those in the 717-570 areas so it isn't a problem with AOSP code. It has to be a Verizon network issue, I just have no idea how.

I have run TW base roms almost 100% of the time. Prior to the 20th, I had flashed cm11 3 or 4 times to see if camera worked and was never on it more than a day. I also had issues where music in my sd card wasn't being found but it was fine on TW. Could it be the unified build causing an issue? I have no issues on Clean Rom 8, wicked sensations or old and slows stock based roms.
*Edit* I have installed Gummy and CM 11 with PA Mini Modular apps and the CM Gapps from Invisiblek, let it set up. I then shut it down, removed battery and sim and then put everything back in and still the same issue. 1st text message goes through, then the rest after that just fail. I tried regular message app, Hangouts and Verizon messaging. All same results. I go back to my CR8 backup and all is fine. It's bizarre because everything else seems to be working fine and is very fast & smooth.

It can't be an issue with the unified builds because going back and flashing an older build yields the same results. If you're willing to make the trade-off, you can set your phone to CDMA only. Texts will send, but you'll have no 3G or 4G.
I'm ok with using CR8, Beans or other stock roms. Can't see paying for LTE and not using it lol. Was curious to see how aosp has been coming along and sms was really the only issue I was having.

I was using masta's 10.2 build for over 6 months without even thinking about flashing new builds. The 20th is when the problem started for me. Upgrading to CM11 didn't change it. I just installed Hyperdrive and everything is back to normal.
I wish I could go back to CM but it just doesn't work in this area. And I don't know what I can do about it,

Basically. I've talked to a few friends who have worked for carriers and stuff, and everyone is stumped as to how something like this can even happen. Luckily I'm pretty much always in WiFi so I can survive on CDMA only.
