[Q] Radio issues with Nexus S, Hardware problem?

Hi,
My Nexus S is having a strange issue that when turn the phone on it picks up that I'm on Orange UK but from then on it says emergecy calls only or no service but shows signal in the status bar. If I try and call someone I get no mobile network messages but I can get a data connection and use the Internet although very slowy. Strangest thing is that if I put no sim card in the status bar still shows signal.
I've tried different radios and tried both Offical stock 2.3.4 and CM7 7.1.0 but same results, I've also tried turning 3g off but I'm now out of ideas so can anyone give me some tips please?
Thanks

Can you give specifics? Phone model, Baseband version (found in Settings >> About phone). Not all radios are the same and you can end up bricking the phone flashing wrong radio version.

You cant brick your phone flashing the wrong radio....youll just have to have the correct radio as a back up. I flashed every radio for the nexus s and its not bricked.
Anyway, the standard radio the i9020a comes with is the UCKF1 or KB3 as I have heard. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1116884 is where you will find the radios. Just flash the correct one. How you will know whats the correct one is it will be stated after the phone model. for example I9020AUCKF1 the A after I9020 is for the carrier ATT and after the thats the radio it came with. just reflash the correct radio through CWM and you should be ok. If not PM and I will help you further

Flashing I9023 radio on I9020 will brick the phone as it may not even boot into recovery, fastboot may not work too. Just a word of caution.

Sorry I should have said I have i9023 and have tried kf1 kd1 and jk8 radios all with the same results so far.

What the next step would be is to try a new sim card. Go to your carrier and ask for a new one. If same results then its the phone and I'll assist you more.
Don't forget the thanks button.

Managed to borrow someones sim card at work today and it was the same result so it does seem to be a hardware problem now.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App

Yes. That would seem to me like the problem. I'm sure you restored your phone and completely wiped the SD? Also did you try pulling out the battery while the phone was on wait 30 seconds try turning the phone with out the battery then put the battery back in and turn it on? I'm sure you have done that you seem like a decently tech savvy fellow.
I've called Samsung before and I hate to say it but their repair policy is horrendous. You'll need another phone cause you'll be without yours for 2-4 weeks. They want to send "you your original phone back." Even their battery exchange is the same. You send your bad battery to them. They receive it process it then send you a new one. Motorola and apple have their repair department to be easy and quick which is what the consumer wants. More so apple cause you can go right to the local store and get a new one in 10 minutes. Motorola takes 2 days. Better than Samsung still.
Thats it for my rant! Just wanted to give you a heads up of what you will hear. Hope it all works out.

yea, try flashing a CDMA radio on a GSM phone and see how that works out for you!
edit: actually, this sounds exactly like the ns4g i bought the other day. try making an emergency call and see what happens. really, that's how i fixed mine.

Well I dont think some one is that dumb to flash a CDMA for a GSM......if you are, you should stick to the iphone

Well it looks like I'm taking a trip to a service centre today let's hope it doesn't cost me too much to repair.

I've had a similar issue in the past. Restoring my EFS made it work again.
But before that issue, I also had another problem where no amount of radio flashing and EFS fiddling would fix it. Sent it to Samsung and it came back with a form with a hand written note saying "BGA failure".
So I imagine this problem is more common than it might seem. *shrugs*

Restoring the EFS would have been one of my first moves but I was given the phone in this state with no backups made.
Just crossing my fingers that Samsung doesn't charge me a king's ransom to repair it.

Mobile Network not available

Hi i traded my phone, and he installed the wrong thing and broke it. I thought i could fix it which i did. Now though when i load it up it has no mobile network. I can connect to wifi. I called atnt and they said my imei was fine. I registered this phone with them when i first bought it, so i dont see how the imei could bad. I think he tried to change the carrier to something else and messed it up. Is there any way i can get my mobile network back? ITs a atnt i727. What should i be looking for to change the carrier to what its suppose to be. The imei is the right one from the back of the battery.

Isnt that for the data? I reset it to default but it didnt help. I cant make phone calls or anything. Is there a setting to tell the phone to connect to at&t or something like that? Or is there any way he broke the hardware? Under the settings about the phone it shows my phone number.

Thanks for trying guys. I have a update I got like one bar last night and it received like 4text and then got none. My girl friends phone is getting service, so does that mean something in the phone is broken

More details on what he did to break it and what you have done to fix my guess is that you need to flash a better working radio
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk 2

Well when I got it back it was is a mode I haven't seen, kinda like the download mode but it said Odin kies mode. Im not sure what ics he tried to put in it. But I put back in the flash to stock Odin from the site and it loaded back up. Then I saw it didn't have service so I installed Cw recovery and installed sky coke. Which I have now, also tried some kernals but that didn't help ethier.now I have sky coke no service to atnt for calls or text but wifi works. I don't get service even in emergency mode.

Try finding a gingerbread radio FOR THIS PHONE and flash it my guess is that is your issue I don't have links but they exist somewhere in this noob ridden skyrocket forum

Thanks very much, i tried that and it still doesnt work. Weird enough every once and awhile it works, it should like it must of dropped it in water or something, and bricked it on me so i wouldn't realize what was going on. Or am i wrong? Is the thing that receives and transmits cell calls and text able to brake hardware wise?

What I would do is try a new sim card. All the network info is on there. If you did something wrong with roms or whatever, you could fry the sim. I would also make sure to have complete stock and I mean bone stock att rom( no root) placed on it. This will make everything back to factory and a better way to eliminate the problem. Sounds to me you have multiple and nothing meshing together. Search forums to return to stock which most likely would be gb 2.3.6. Good luck.
Oh and make sure you read closely and carefully. Returning to stock can be dangerous if you don't follow the directions step by step and have patience. You have nothing to lose if the phone is already borked. Its worth a try.

I'm having the same exact problem. And unfortunately, it looks like it has something to do with the CM 10.1 itself. As CM 10 works perfectly fine and gets me a signal, CM 10.1 won't be able to get me services.
I don't think there's a fix on this yet.

I'm going out on a limb here and guessing you're on a different baseband than UCMC1.

JB 4.1.1 Won't connect to tmobile towers

It updated OTA on it's own and was working last night. This morning I looked at my phone and it was connected. I moved it and it lost signal and hasn't gotten it since. I can't force it to connect, will get roaming but roaming in this area is emergency only.

Just did that. Still nothing.

Ok I've flashed 4.0.4 then CWM to 4.1.1 and nothing. Flashed 4.0.4 and nothing then flashed GB on it and nothing. I'm out of ideas.

Maybe you didn't save properly? Don't press back when done inputting everything, but press menu>save.

If that doesn't work, there's a remote possibility it's a problem with the SIM card. You might want to go to your carrier store and ask for a new one; in my experience this is usually free. Other than that, if flashing a whole new ROM doesn't fix it, I have a hard time understanding how it could be anything other than a hardware issue.

It was the sim card. I wished I would have thought of that before I wiped everything though. Oh well I got a clean install and learned a lesson. Never skip step 3...

[Q] Phone will will not activate. IMEI is correct, Sim card is fine.

Was running MIUI, lost my IMEI, recovered it, still will not activate. ODIN Flashed back to factory and my phone still will not activate, IMEI, MEID is showing correct in my phone info. when I call out I get the please hold for an operator to assist you. little triangle is showing. No clue what to do now. Sim card is fine, it works in my other phone.
Recovered EMEI with nvrestore, it locked up, I pulled the battery and tried restarting but it still would not boot, so I Flashed Factory rom with ODIN again and it worked, I now have data and the phone activated. Really strange.

Glad I backed the IMEI up three ways. This was the third time I have lost the IMEI and connectivity. This last time was the worst though, took me a couple hours to get the darn thing working again.

Yea last time that happened to me, I just unrooted and back to stock. Lady at the Verizon store couldn't figure it out even with new sim and they gave me a replacement no Q asked. Lol

But if you got a good device new it is better to fix the IEMI than take a chance on a refurb that was bad when new and returned especially since it is so easy to prevent and fix now.

Thanks for the good information. Sorry I annoyed you.
Probably was something I missed. Originally, before I restored the meid my phone number was showing as 000-000-0120 so I am pretty sure the meid was borked, I restored using the meid repair utility but still could not get authorized, I Odin flashed back to stock but it still didn't work, I did the nvrestore then had to Oden flash a stock rom again which solved the problem and everything is working peachy now. I am sure there was an easier way but at the time I was at a loss. I thought I screwed it up.
BTW, this is my third smart phone and I been flashing roms etc almost daily for years now so I am not entirely green.

My wifes card gets recognized right away when i put it in, so i think my sd card is no good. Any suggestions on how i can recover data from it?? Thanx

Hi,
New to the S3 and this rom. Root, flash went well, and so far, I'm loving this rom. One problem that is stumping me is this:
Using ADW launcher, have a direct dial short cut to voice mail. The voice mail contact is set up to dial *86 ,,xxxx, so with one tap, I can call vm and access messages.
However, the keyboard then becomes non responsive. I can't delete or save messages, and if I have multiple messages, can't get to the next one.
Any suggestions on how to work around this appreciated.
I'm running the 3.2 beta version of LS, and really only have this, and one other minor issue.
Thank you.
Still haven't solved this, but here's more clarification:
Phone is running LiquidSmooth 4.2.1m v2.1m beta 3.2
1. Using a 'direct dial shortcut. the rom dialer has a contact set up named voicemail, that is programmed: *86;,,XXXX. When I hit the direct dial shortcut, voicemail is dialed, xxxx is sent, and I can hear my first voicemail. The problem is the dialpad is non responsive. So, I can't save or delete the first voicemail, nor can I proceed to listen to the next one.
If I dial *86, and enter the password manually, then the dial pad works.
Even if I dial any contact withGoDialer, then, open keyboard to dial and extension, I get the stock dialer.
I drive a lot, and need as few distractions as possible. Any suggestions on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Have u tried using a different launcher just to be sure its not hardware/ROM related it might be the launcher?

I tried pretty much everything on the internet before posting here.
My stock/no root phone started bootlooping. So I used Odin and root66.tar to get it back. Everything seemed to be good. After I got 3 updates:1) 30mb, 2) 60mb and 3) JB updated OTA. After 60Mb update my phone said Samsung and shows unlocked lock. After JB update my phone bootloops again.
I though it it was a bad update and reflashed stock no root 4.0.4 and OTA did the same thing.
I tried the gs3 tool to flash the recovery and it always fails.
I would appreciate any help.... I have been dealing with this non sense for the past 24h.

Yes. I've been using ADW launcher, tried it with Nova, got the exact same result.

Alright, I'll try here. So, I'm on cleanrom 5.6. As far as I can tell everything is working, and there aren't any actual problems, but the phone doesn't know what the network is in settings and and when I drag down the notification bar it doesn't say it at the bottom. Anyone have an idea?

I am trying to install the stock systemui.apk file on my phone after I screwed up and flashed the wrong one, but installation always fails. I have moved the .apk to the /system/app folder and have changed the permission of the .apk but the file still won't install. What can I do?

carrier
Since you carrier wont load I believe following this tutorial with help fix your problem but check the conditions. Im not allowed to post links apparently so I attached it. I'll also flash cleanrom 5.6 and find out if its a software thing and get back to you. But it seems to me like its a MEID issue. So check the conditions in the link and if they are true I'd go that way. If not re-flash, clean install would be my suggestion. Yeah I run Cynagenmod 10.1 and it even knows I'm on Verizon. And Scott's roms always have the carrier.

I can't recall when I last had it working but my NFC completely stopped working. I have tried reverting back to absolute stock rooted nandroid. That didn't work so I Odin booted back to the original unrooted firmware. Still same problem. If I try to uncheck NFC from the more options it moves over and is immediately flipped back. I have gone into a Verizon wireless store to seek help but the guy made a sarcastic remark that his iPhone wouldn't have that problem...but I also as a few other notes I have tried hells ROM and also flashing the NFC file with the ROM which also didn't work and have tried the few NFC Google wallet fixes I have seen, also sadly no luck.

replacement?
I think you may have a faulty chip. Also is your battery NFC capable? But to be honest Verizon will replace it for free if your under the 1 year warranty and don't have water damage or anything like that. Because if it doesn't work on the stock rom it's most likely a hardware problem in this case. So I would contact your carrier about that.

I have the stock battery and when I did call Verizon the first time they wanted me to contact Samsung first then get back to them so I figured i'd bring it here. It had worked before so I was wondering if maybe it fried somehow? Phone has never been dropped, no water damage, watch because I said that i'll drop it in 5 minutes and shatter my screen I guess I'll just try Samsung tomorrow and see what they have to say.

nfc
Actually I just thought of something else to try. Have you gone in and force quit nfc and cleared the app data? That may resolve the problem. Nfc will be under all apps and it is named nfc service.

Good idea, just tried it and it didn't do anything. Also tried that, rebooted recovery, wiped dalvick and cache fixed permissions then tried again with no luck. =/

Are you using a non stock kernel? Also when you went back to stock did you erase everything on the phone?
