Hello there,
I flashed a Sprint HTC Touch Pro, and cloned ESN to MetroPCS. I followed this tutorial here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=571190
First time when I flashed it, I didn't do the cloning. It was just a simple flash and I was gonna take my phone to corporate store to get the ESN registered. It was working fine, I was getting the signal and when I dialed 611, the call would go to metropcs tech support. But I couldn't anyone else because the ESN wasn't registered. Since, Corporate store is too far from my place, so I decided to clone an ESN number of my other old phone and that's when it got messed up. There's is no signal on the device. I restarted it many times but is still said no signal. I manually turned on the device radio but it still says no signal. I don't know what I did wrong. I followed that tutorial exactly as it was. I even flashed the phone with "Telus V1.04.05V Radio R" radio but no signal. Now I've switched it to the stock rom but it still says no signal. stock radio version is 1.03.15F. So if anyone out there could help me out, I'll greatly appreciate it. Thanks a lot in advance.
what??? nobody knows.
no replies, does this mean nobody knows? btw, gps aint working either. I don't know if this rings any bells. Come on people help me out.
Hi, sorry if this is promoting clutter but I've scoured the internet (google, wiki, searching these forums and others) and haven't been able to find a solution.
Some background:
Phone: Samsung Galaxy S 4G
Running stock GB 2.3.6
A couple months ago I woke up to find my phone would not pick up and connect to the t-mobile network (it constantly displayed (searching) on the dropdown menu). After trying many things it would sometimes randomly connect to the network and allow me to send/receive messages and make calls, but it doesn't last.
Things I've tried:
Rebooting
Going in and out of airplane mode
Unselecting and re-selecting use packet data
Manually searching for mobile network operators (it recognizes that there are available AT&T and T-Mobile networks, but when I try to connect to either it fails)
Performing a factory-reset
Rooting, Flashing to a different GB ROM
Factory reset, then flashing to Slim ICS instead
Performing another total wipe/reset, and now I'm back to stock.
EDIT: Sorry, I've also gone to the T-Mobile store and switched SIM cards to no avail.
I used the new SIM card in a new phone (another Samsung Galaxy S 4G) and it works perfectly fine, it's just this phone.
If anyone could give me any other ideas I'm all ears, and I appreciate any help lent in advance.
Thank you, and if you need any other information please let me know.
And you have checked your apn settings? You have an imei number listed in the about phone?

Wifi, gps, bluetooth work at all? calling or txting or data or nothing?
Heimdall one click and re-check
Sorry for the late reply, I've been on shift.
Champ: My APN settings look correct (registered on T-Mobile US, epc.tmobile.com), and I do have an IMEI number listed.
Geto: Wifi works. GPS works. Bluetooth I haven't tried. Calling/texts/data doesn't work at all.
Itzi: Just tried heimdall one click with no success =( Picks up on the T-Mobile network (instead of saying (searching)) but doesn't display the 4G/3G/etc. next to the service bars and won't text/call.
Good be a bad chip. I'd call Samsung and talk to them. They made the phone and if your still under warranty they will do the right thing.
Could be a defective modem 'cause it gave you random connections. Are you under a contract with T-Mobile? If so, they will replace it for free. Although u have to pay the replacement fee of $25. Call them.
Hit the thanks button if it helps. It's my motivator to be more helpful.
I was afraid it was a hardware issue... Thank you for all your help, guys.
I'm not under warranty nor am I under contract. Any chance they would still replace it?
Also, if not, is there anything you recommend I do with this phone? (sell it, use it for something else, etc.)

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Out of warranty they will still fix it but the price may be more than the phone is worth. Its still worth calling them to find out. AS Far as other uses the thing makes an incredible mp3 player. The Wolfson DAC in it is way better than most. In airplane more just playing music I can get 20 hours plus out of this phone. Which is pretty sweet.
If you bring it to T-mo lab, Heimdall back to stock without root, or they will blame you for this and get lazy on analysis...

I have attempted several new sim cards and spent hours dealing with Verizon only to find no solution. This entire situation is a mess and really hope there is still hope for the phone.
The phone was dropped and lost. An insurance claim was made. Phone was found and fixed. I checked, ESN is good and is not locked on Verizon's end.
The phone was taken to Verizon (without me present), they tried to update the phone. In the process they realized it was rooted and were so kind as to uninstall the root. They soft bricked the phone. I fixed it. Factory reset the phone. Attempted to activate the phone with no success.
I am able to send and receive texts. I am able to use data. The phone goes through and reports active on Verizon's end. However, no matter what I cannot send or receive phone calls.
I have searched everywhere and am at a total loss. Please help!!
Any ideas? Please help!!
Im a noob but i had this problem in my droid 1 something was deleted tru TB so wat i did is the power button-volune down* factory reset also ..do u mean IMEI? From my understanding that gets block wen u report a fone lost or stolen ..lil surprise that Verizon employee saw that ur were rooted and help unroot ..but hey could be jst good customer services..hope u get it fix i been tru this before
Ok. Here is the very fustrating problem. Got my cellphone flashed to cricket at a local store. Data was working fine until I changed my number. Now talk and text work but no data. I did a search on here and a guy said its because my old number information is still in my phone. The thing is I dont know how to update it to put my new number in? I am in desperate need of help because I use Google Maps at work but I cant now because of the no data thing. Went backed to the store that flashed my phone and they said it has to be reflashed again even though talk and text work.
Again. I am in desperate need to fix my phone and cant afford the $55 bucks they want to reflash my phone. PLEASE IM BEGGING YOU HELP!!!!!!
Also sorry if I posted this in the wrong section
Do you mean you don't have any of your apn settings??

Im really not sure if I do are not to be honest.
So I was messing with QPST and it didnt workout. So I rebooted and noticed I didnt have signal. I read that I will have to flash back to stock, so I did. After that which should have fixed everything I had no IMEI. Thus I am unable to connect to the network. Now RF_NV_Manager keeps throwing some stupid error when I try to read or write.
I tried calling Qualcomm to get some help, but those people are darn worthless and have no idea what they even do for a living. LG told me to send it back to their place in Ft. Worth and gave me a repair ticket number. They however said they are physically unable (to damn lazy) to walk down the hallway and get a tech for me to talk to. And T-Mobile pretty much told me to bring it to a corporate store and if that dont work then to send it to LG (of course they tried to sales pitch me).
So does anyone have any idea on what to do? Is there a way to manually input the IMEI? Is anyone here a QPST pro that can help me get past the error? Any help is appreciated.
And yes I have checked about every site and forum I could find to no avail.
