[Q] No sim card error problem note 2 tmobile - General Questions and Answers

Hey guys! This is my first time on the boards and of course, I'm in need of some big help. As of now, as the title states, I currently lack sim card functionality. Unfortunately, I believe this is in many ways is my fault as I was deleting some bloatware off my phone... the three that I deleted was the stock internet explorer, a T-Mobile application (forgot the name) and an app called "talk" all of which came on the phone. Everything was fine up until I restarted the phone. My phone is rooted. My backup failed, so I'm in the process of downloading the stock ROM, will that help? any info is appreciated at this point. Anyone has any idea on how to go about this?

Check that port 5228 TCP is open on your router. I've also had this problem when i uninstalled the Gtalk service and the IM application(using Titanium Back-up), i restored a Nandroid back-up to fix it.

[Q] How to Update to 2.2.20.a955 with Root

Hi all,
I am kind of new to the whole Android scene. I need a little help updating my phone. I recently rooted it on 2.2.19.a955. I uninstalled several stock apps, 3G Wifi Hotspot, the Amazon stuff, and something else. I was able to reinstall everything but the 3G Wifi Hotspot. Can't seem to find an apk or recover it or anything.
When I tried to update, it gives me an error saying that it is unable to update.
I am not sure what it is. I think the missing apps or the root is preventing me from updating.
Please help!
Thanks.
-Kevin
Im having the same issue
I also removed some of the bloat and when my OTA update failed I reinstalled all of it from the system dump found in another thread on this forum (it won't let me post a link). I checked all my permissions and made sure they were 644 but my update is still failing on Mynet.apk. I have checked it; it is there and its permissions are 644. Any ideas? Thanks in advance for any help.

You could always just flash back to the stock system with the .sbf released in "The Bomb" you probably used to root. Once you do that youve lost root but back to stock then do the OTA update, re-root, and also have your bloat back... Its a little lengthy but Google and your sd card have most everything backed up for you anyway.

I have the SBF. I am just not sure how to flash it back onto my phone. I really don't have that much stuff. I've only installed a few programs. Not a big deal.

Still having trouble figuring out how to install mynet.apk. I downloaded the file, but I am unsure what to do now.
You have to use adb to install system apps. So, something like:
- put Mynet.apk in your sdk tools folder
- Open command prompt
- cd c:/wherever-your-sdk-tools-folder-is
- adb devices (to verify the connection)
- adb remount
- adb push Mynet.apk /system/app/Mynet.apk
- adb remount
As a note, I updated to 2.2.20 with root but without removing apps.
If you do use the snf from The Bomb, what is that other file out of curiosity?
Thanks Karnovaran.
Is there anything I need to do with the opek file? I followed your steps generally and I am still not getting anything.
So... I followed your directions. I put Mynet.apk in the folder. Ran ADB, copied the file to the sdcard. Mounted. Ran rageagainstthecage. Copied the Mynet.apk to the apps folder on the system. Same with the odex file, and remounted, and exited, but still nothing...
I was able to flash my phone using the files from the RootzWiki bomb. Flashed it successfully. Now it doesn't have a connection to the Verizon network. No data service. Not sure about phone service though.

You probably need to dial *22899 from your phone before it will get back on the Verizon network.
Does the ota contain something that is really needed. I am debating if I want to unroot just for the ota. Hopefully some one figure away to give us an update that remains rooted.

DROID 2 Receiving Minor Update, Now Allows for User Initiation
On 08.21.10, In News, by Kellex
Share3
If you own a Droid 2, you should be receiving a minor update over the next couple of days and in fact, there is a pretty good chance that you have already been prompted to install it. The update, although minor, does fix a couple of things which will enhance your D2 experience…
Improvements:
+ Enabled text and picture message scrolling.
+ Streamlined set up of Visual Voice Mail feature.
+ Improved contact sync with Corporate Exchange categories
and groups.
+ View accurate contact pictures when reviewing Recent Call Log.
On a related note, it looks like Verizon may be allowing user initiated updates for their new Droid family member. If you check out their update installation instructions, there are now 2 types of software loading: user initiated and server initiated. We also just received this shot which shows that manual updates could start as early as last night, and OTA server initiated updates will start on the 24th if users have not already gone through the process…
After the update you will be running version 2.2.20.en.us.
Via: Verizon Wireless
Cheers Mitch and Shawn!
2.2.20 is root-able, so if you really want it you can do the sbf flash and grab the update before rooting. I don't think we'll be seeing any custom updates for the D2. Let's just thank our lucky stars the sbf showed up.

Darn, wish I knew that before I factory resetted my phone. Do you know this for a fact?
Yes a factory reset is necessary...I just flashed my phone this morning with the sbf and I connected to verizon network but it would not connect to any data connection 3g or 1x, nothing so a factory reset took place and it works almost better than before for some reason lol..my internet connection seems to be more stable and reception is a little better and I've done* 22899 before I rooted and flashed back and this time around its just working better idk..but back to the topic at hand if u* 22899 it will connect you to verizon network but no 3g or anything

Did you try *228? Maybe might have been a better way to go. But thank you for trying.
If you can't update or anything flash an sbf. Isn't hard.
If you are rooted and need to sbf, I used the droid bootstrap recovery to wipe my cache and data, then flashed the sbf from the bootloader (turn the phone all the way off, and hold the up arrow as you power on). Made it a lot easier, and fixed all the errors I was having

[Q] Unable to Connect to my Google Account

After Hard Resetting my Motorola Atrix 2, when i tried to connect to google account, I am getting an error message saying - Can't establish a reliable data connection.....
Below is the whole description of the problem....
4 days ago I updated my Motorola Atrix 2 with the Update. The Update downloads successfully but after rebooting I got a message saying "Update Failed".
I tried updating again but received the same error.
And 2 days after this updation process I noticed that I am unable to sign into my Google Account. None of the Google Application was opened. All I see the Window with Loading Symbol and nothing else. Neither Android Market, Nor Gmail or Youtube works. All stopped working at once.
I than searched the Internet and find some solutions saying that you need to hard reset your phone.
I did that also, I used both the method for hard resettig, i.e. 3 button method as well as Factory Reset option, but it didn't solve my problem at all.
In fact now at starting of the phone when i tried to connect to my google account, an error comes saying - " Can't Establish a Reliable Data Connection "
I had searched your forums also and find a similar thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=780545
But trying all the method given in this thread I am still unable to connect to my google account.
Kindly Help me......... Thanx in Advance
Go to Settings -> About Phone and see, are you on 2.3.5 or 2.3.6?
If you're on 2.3.5 then you can manually update through Recovery. If you're on 2.3.6 then you might want to try flashing the fxz and then manually updating through Recovery.
You might double check your apns, Might try pulling your sim and battery for about 10 or 15 min to clear your location, you should register and connect to the nearest tower after boot up. I had that issue once and it was actually the market causing the problem. Make sure it's up to date and all good.

Which service provider are you using? If you're not using AT&T I imagine you have the phone unlocked.. Could something wrong have happened with the unlock?
Does unlocking stay with the phone even after a fastboot flash?

Yuppp....... u r right.... I have an unlocked Atrix 2...
I am an Indian and I uses Vodafone Sim here.
And yes even after Fastboot Flash, it is still unlocked.
I was also worried when i was going to do a fastboot flash about unlocking issue.
But than i took the risk by my own and atleast after fastbooting it didn't get locked back to at&t.....
But no help regarding my issue of unable to connect to google account.
Though it works very much fine in WiFi but through SIM I am unable to do anything on google apps.
I had changed and tried the several APN's but none of them helping me...
Neither all other methods, such as Factory resetting, Youtube trick, etc , dont help me at all...
Still m searching for the solutions

Try another SIM card from your provider. This phone does have issues with SIM cards and weird things like that.

Flashing the fxz will not fix your issue, I promise. And I am not sure running SC v5 is the best option since you are having some issues. SC v5 is great, but it has some GPS issues, and a couple of other things. Since you are having this issue ONLY while using the cell singal, that should tell you that the issue lies on that part of the signal, and should be a very good lead in fixing it. I would talk with your phone provider.
Do a search on this forum for issues with atrix2 and SIM cards, this seems to fit the same bill we have been seeing over and over with phones that are not on a "true" HSPA+ "4G" style SIM card, there are even some people that had 2 of the same exact cards where one worked and the other did not. I would post a few links in here, but there are just too many to even give you a good few, to look at.
Jim
I have the same problem here.
Because sc v5.2 had a gps issue,then i go to bootstrap,wipe cache partition and wipe factory then restore 2.3.6 deodex and rebooted.
And now i can't connect to my google account.
Tomorrow i will try to restore sc v5 again and wish it will solve the problem.
Update: Restore sc v5 and now i'm able to connect to google account,but now i got fc.

Problem Solved
After so many hard reset, at last I am able to connect to my Google Account.
The most interesting fact is that problem is with the SIM's APN only.
Here in India, Vodafone provides two APN, one is "WWW" and other is "portalnmms".
I had tried both one by one but that didn't seem to work, than i found a thread on internet saying that add both the APN in a single APN, i.e., "WWW" in the APN field and "portalnmms" in the server field and change "Authentication Type" to "PAP" and leaving all other fields to default.
I did this and as soon as i saved these settings, everything starts working.
I am more than happy....

im pretty sure it had nothing to do with rooting....
im guessing you have a windows pc?
samsung put out a driver update for the computer that caused the error.
only way i found to fix the problem is to do a system restore back a few days before the update.
my update was automatic, im going to see if i can stop that update from happening for now..
ic you can call samsung and make them aware like i did...
what is the actual name of the missing driver? is it the samsung _i535 that is missing? is so, it happened to me, and i just have to manually install it by browsing to the android sdk folder under extra and selected the google usb driver.
What is the proper way of fixing this issue. Mine just started throwing this out too. If I reboot my computer I can usually get it to read my phone, but this is a pain.
Wonder no more, same issue here. Missing Hardware ID after rooting, Bell SGH-I747M Used the root/stock image on XDA.

Same thing happens to me.
Switch to a different USB port. Then keep disconnecting from your PC and switching ports if it still does it. Eventually it will install the drivers and work.
Not a fix at all, but what I do to get it to work.

Un-installing and re-installing the drivers works most of the time. I dunno why it didn't for the OP.

[Q] installed rom and now I have NO service.

Hey guys,
No matter what I do I can't get my service to work again. All it shows at the top is a little circle with a slash through the middle. I tried installing a custom rom but ran into some problems. So I "restored" my backup through rom manager. But i don't have service anymore. Since this happend I have tried several new roms and I still can't get the service to come back.
Some people say it has something to do with the IMEI but according to my setup I still have one.
I have been working on this problem for nearly 13 hrs none stop! Please help... I have searched everywhere.
Thanks

If your IMEI and all that information is correct then you may have a bad sim card resulting in no service at all. Otherwise i'd recommend using odin to go back to completely 100% stock and see if that fixes it.

Thank you so much for responding. I have tried to restore stock with odin but every time odin finishes my phone still boots up my existing rom. Any quick ideas with that one?
And do you really think my sim could have just gone bad like that? It's free to get a new one so maybe I will try that as a last resort.
I don't know much about rooting but could it be my radio?
A couple of questions?
Is boot loader unlocked, if so how did you unlock, updated ver 1.4 ez-unlock can mess up and relock boot loader. Use ver 1.2 . "Verizon only"
What ROM and kernel? Make sure its for your carrier.
Any radio should be OK as long as its for you phone and carrier.

did you try reprovisioning your device with dialer code *2767*3855?
note that this does wipe internal sd so back ur **** up!
I tired the above number in dialer but always comes up with error saying "mobile network not available".
Am I doing something wrong?
Oh.... You forgot to ad a # on the end of that number. After this everything started working again!!! Thank you so much!

What fixes the problem. This happened to me after flashing the latest MIUI ROM on my Verizon S3.
I tried re provisioning my phone with the number sequence below but it did not work. I also used the phone info app but I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do.
