Hello!
I recently tried to install a custom rom on my Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830i. Afterwards, it became stuck in a boot loop.
I managed to find what I believed was the stock firmware for my phone and used Odin to flash it back on. Everything seemed to go just fine and I even managed to install the custom rom afterwards without issue.
My problem is, however, that although the phone mostly works as intended, the phone element does not. I have a message saying 'Emergency Calls Only' and I'm unable to make any calls. This is the case straight after flashing with Odin, and also after installing a custom rom.
The IMEI number on the device matches the IMEI number found in the software.
Where can I go from here?
The phone was originally purchased in the United Kingdom from O2, if that helps, though the software says that no network lock is active.

All of a sunnden, I.got this error on my samsung s advance "No SIM".
Since then it has not been reading any SIM card (Except BSNL SIM card)
What I have done to fix this :
1) replaced the SIM drive, but no luck.
2) flashed stock rom, with re-partition, again no luck.
3) backed up mmcblk0p2(modemfs), mmcblk0p7(efs) and mmcblk0p6(cspsa)
and reflashed, but again no luck.
Any help??
Hi there,
It sounds like a hardware problem to me!
I see you've posted the question here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s-advance/help/help-sim-card-recognized-flashing-rom-t2808686
Which is the right place to be looking, I'd suggest maybe making a new question thread in the Q&A section to get more visibilty to help:
Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
Hello All,
I am new to rooting phones and recently tried something on a galaxy S2. I had a korean version of S2 model SHW-250s which was locked. I lost my new phone so tried unlocking this myself...looked at some youtube videos some blogs and finally decided to use this method posted by someone:
1)Flash these two files using ODIN to convert the korean model into international version :
GTI9100_ext4.pit
9100XWLPW_I9100ODDLPC_I9100DDLPB_HOME.tar.md5 (stock ICS firmware for my country).
This successfully converted my phone to S2i9100.
2)Then to unlock I used a siyah kernel as posted by a developer :: Siyah-v3.2b8
This successfully installed SU and i checked using RootChecker apps that there is root access.
3)Then to unlock my phone i used GalaxSimUnlock app (did rooting as this app required root access)
This successfully unlocked my phone. I was able to call receive messages with new carrier.
I installed some more general apps used it for 5 days.
Sudddenly i started facing network issues. I was not able to make or receive calls. Strangely, I was getting data connection from network but not able to make or receive calls. I could not register on any network.
I tried running GalxSimUnlock app again and it said Unable to read NV data.Since I was naive i tried reinstalling the stock ROM and SIYAH kernel to see if it helps. It didnt.
When i researched further i came to know there's probably something wrong in the NV_data.bin file in EFS . But i hadnt taken backup of EFS previously. Now can anythng be done to restore the EFS and make the phone work? Please help me....
When i run GalaxSimUnlock app it shows everything in green except IMEI number which it blinks in red. But I am able to see a IMEI number and it doesnt look like something default. I am getting everything else MAC id, baseband version etc.
Thanks everybody...please forgive my language if not upto the mark as i am pretty naive about this stuff.

Hey Buddy....Thanks for replying....i just saw you have written you flashed the original ROM on your device again...but as I wrote I have flashed another ROM and didnt take back up of original one and cannot find the SKT korea S2 ROm for this one...Is it ok if i employ the procedure told by you without flashing original ROM...what is CSC? Is there anything else you wanna tell me before i start the process? please forgive for my ignorance Im quite new to all this...
You will have to ask on the thread I linked regarding the Rom. You will have the right experts for your device there.
CSC is sales code., you can check your ROM CSC by dialling *#1234# . First two digits represents country and last three represents release time.
ok thanks...i will post the question there
Per Suggestion from my Collegue @It_ler,
The kernel you have is older. Latest SiyahKernel for the stock JB ROM he has on his device is SiyahKernel S2-v5.0.1.
If you have questions about the kernel, then use the [KERNEL][REF][Q&A] Siyah 5.0+[ICS/CM10] 6.0b5+[JB/CM10.1] +DISCUSSION+. NON-DEV!!! (SiyahKernel discussion) thread.

yes imei matches one under battery
You may wish to post in Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting so that the right experts may be of help.
I do believe if the phone is working on all the other carriers Other than Bell then it might be an issue with Wind's Sim Card. Sometime you need to get a newer sim for newer Smartphones.
After trying to restore to a new custom ROM (VIBEROM 1417) the device cant seem to connect to the network (not internet, but mobile network). I could re-enter the IMEI code with MTK tools but the message changed from "worng imei" to "no service" and i still cant make/receive phone calls (there´s an "x" on the SIM card symbol). Tried restoring the stock ROM but the problem remains the same. Tried changing the SIM card and makes no difference.
Any idea please? I want to rule out all the posibilities before thinking it might be a hardware issue.
Hi,
You would likely need to try flashing your stock firmware again to possibly fix the issue. You may need to contact the manufacturer about firmware and flashing instructions, as I can find nothing relevant on XDA.

Good luck!
I recently purchased a samsung galaxy s6, locked to Bell Mobility (my sim is rogers). I bought my unlock code through onemanwireless, but I made a very stupid mistake and followed the instructions for t-mobile phones and installed the factory firmware found here, http://onemanwireless.com/TMobile_Galaxy_S6_Edge_unlock.htm. After I realized my mistake I reinstalled the factory firmware for Bell, which I found on this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6-edge/general/sm-g925f-s6-firmware-thread-t3078841.
However, the unlock code was still unsuccessful, so I followed the other three solutions found on onemanwireless, http://onemanwireless.com/instructions.php#samsung.
When I dialed *#197328640#, I was in the debugging screen, but I didn't have the eight option for phone control.
When I dialed *2767*3855# and *7465625*638*#, nothing happened.
I've checked the IMEI and it's the correct one for my s6. I've already gotten the network code incorrect eight times, so I want to know if I'm limited to a specific number of tries before my phone cannot be unlocked again?
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Hello, and welcome to XDA Assist! I would recommend that you ask your question in the dedicated help forum for your device, where people who know the s6 well will be able to help you: Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting. You will need to register to post there.
