Hi,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S 4g running on Tmobile. I rooted the phone when it was using stock Froyo over a month ago I upgraded my phone software and it now runs Gingerbread 2.3.6. The phone is functional and works on wireless for internet only but I can't make phone calls or get phone calls, the message in the title appears. I have talked to Tmobile and they can't help me but suggested xda developers. I used Titanium backup before I upgraded the software.
Questions:
1. If I unroot my phone will that enable me to make phone calls on Tmobile?
2. Will a restore from Titanium backup help get me back to Froyo?
3. If not what other suggestions do you have?
Fortunately I have a google voice number and can forward my calls to another phone on tmobile.
Any and all help is appreciated.
1: rooting doesnt affect phone calls
2:Titanium backup only backs up and restores apps and not roms
3:If you dont have a backup of your previous rom then download it and flash it

So my phone is not receiving messages, and in Vodafone they said me they would have to upgrade my firmware.
I said I had the last firmware in my phone but they said the firmware they would install isn't available to be "installed at home", it's a special firmware..
The problem is... I have my phone rooted and I have deleted the Vodafone main apps, trough link2sd.
I don't know if I have to unroot it and to do a reset in order to update my firmware in Vodafone...
What do you think?
If I have to unroot it, how can I do it?
If I have to have the Vodafone main apps, a reset would install them?
Thanks
Updated rooted T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S3 SGH- T999 using sammobile's firmware with Odin Pro mobile and lost all my phone contacts some apps and had to sign to Google just to get to home page. Is there a way to recover my data. Also I thought I was updating to Jellybean 4.1.2 but I still have 4.1.1. HELP!!!
Didn't you backup your contacts with Gmail contacts... Or saved them on SD card... Try importing from sim or sd card... But it will only work if you ever had a backup on them...
On holiday in the USA I was given an new Verizon Galaxy S3 SCH i535 by a friend, and was very pleased until I tried to used it back home in the UK. I realised that the only way to to use it effectively in the UK was to unlock it and root it. I had some previous experience of rooting a T-Mobile Dream so searched and came across the "Casual" method. The phone was stuck on Android 4.0.4 and I was unable to update to 4.1.1 so I decided to go ahead with the 'Casual' one click process. It worked and my phone was rooted, and now I am using a UK sim, but I have no mobile data. After doing more reading I realised Android 4.0.4 was a bad release to be stuck on with a Verizon phone. So my questions are:
1. Is there anyway I can use the phone in the UK and get data without using WiFi?
2. Should I un-root the phone and try to upgrade to 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 before doing anything else?
Regards

Basically you need an option to edit your APN. Your phone needs to be rooted, Titanium backup and an APN app (APN Manger Pro or Phone Info by [email protected]). Use Titanium backup to install your APN app as System app. Then open the app and config your phone as Global mode and here you could load your APN for UK.
EDIT: By the way, if you don't mind the locked bootloader with 4.3 stock rom. The Global mode and APN feature are build in.
Take it back. S3 is garbage

Thanks for the advice. I have installed both APN Manager Pro and Titanium Backup Pro and made APN manager pro a system app as you suggested. Initial results show low signal strength and no data. When I try to make a call I get the com.android.phone has stopped error. I will continue to try in a better reception area, also I will try a sim from a different phone company.

I had to factory reset my phone to get out of the com.android.phone error. Reinstalled Titanium Backup pro, Phone Info and APN Manager pro. Inserted my Orange/EE sim card and then edited the APN settings using APN Manager Pro. I still have not gained any data signal even though the reception is improved. My only thoughts now are unrooting the phone and upgrading the software from 4.0.4 to 4.1.2. Thinking that Verizon 4.0.4 is the main problem. Anyone have any ideas?

I would start all over again. find the stock I535VRBMF1 (4.1.2) firmware or I535VRBLK3 (4.1.1), flash via odin, then follow this guide

Thanks for the advice, sorry it took me awhile to reply, finding a downloadable version of I535VRBMF1 took a little time. I am now upgraded to 4.1.2, unrooted and unlocked and will follow the link you provided. Many thanks
Edit:
Just read the link you posted in more detail and realised it states 'your Verizon Galaxy S III device if you just received the official Jelly Bean OTA (without having to flash a factory image).
so it may not be appropriate for me, as I used Odin to flash VRBMF1. What do you think?

if you have stock 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 that link should work. but if you've received the 4.3 ota then it's not going to work for you. When I first got my phone (verizon as well) it had 4.1.1 installed. followed the directions on that page and have never looked back. I've flashed around 15 different roms and have never had a problem other than a buggy rom. currently running gummy kitkat rom.
Hi,
Kindly advise the way to downgrade my Samsung Galaxy S7 from Android 8 to Android 7. Since my phone updated to Android 8, I lost my mobile network and Bluetooth lost its function too. Wi-Fi connection is fine. IMEI not corrupted. ANP is correct. SIM card is fine as i tried inserted into another smartphone.
I tried factory reset after updated twice. The Problem still there. Pls help.
I back-up my phone before and after updated. 1st time factory reset -> When restore my apps after updated my apps data gone. Again i tried back up my phone and restore again after 2nd time factory reset. my apps data still missing. Can i know what's due to this problem? And how can i check my back up date from Samsung Cloud?
My phone model is SM-G930T.
Thank you.
