Hello,
Please help if you can! I updated my Nexus S to 2.3.4 the other day, and everything was working fine. Today, the phone at some point lost the ability to connect to my network (Bell Mobility). I was out and about and was turning data off, and might have hit the 2g/3g toggle by accident, and seem to remember reading about that causing problems - though I have no idea if I did for sure (the sun was bright) and am honestly not sure what's wrong EDIT: when I go into wireless & networks\mobile networks\network operators, the phone will only recognize Roger's Wireless (and it was bought at a Telus store!) The UI still works fine, and I can still connect via wifi - just no way to get it to recognize Bell's network
As stated above, everything was working fine this morning - voice, data and sms all good. Here is all the info from my phone:
Android version 2.3.4
Baseband version NO DGSXXKD1
Kernel Version 2.6.35.7-ge383d80 [email protected] #1
Build number GRJ22
The bootloader is unlocked, and I had been running CM7 before flashing the manual 2.3.4. I'm not sure what to do. Tried re-flashing the manual 2.3.4 update.zip, and nothing. I know a very little bit about rooting/flashing (just enough to follow guides), and am wondering whether I need to re-flash a different kernel/radio/rom or something. I did search, and couldn't find anything that outlined my problem exactly (I do apologize if something is out there and I just didn't look hard enough).
Again, the phone was bought new at a Telus store, and found the Bell Mobility network out of the box no problem. Am hoping someone can help!
Thanks so much for reading, and if you are able to help.
Check your APN's to make sure the data info is in there I had to manually enter mine (bought phone from Telus to use on Bell/Sasktel's network) for Sasktel and bob was my uncle
Every upgrade i need to put them back in. No automatic for me, so i would start there
Menu - Settings - Wireless & Network - Mobile Networks - Access Point Names.
If nothing is in there, you need your APN settings. Talk to bell support for the info, and they should be able to help you over the phone (they support android even if they dont sell a Nexus S)
Cheers!
Thanks so much for your response, though I don't think that the APN's are the issue at all; they're still in there and fine. I think that it's the actual radio (or baseband), as the phone will not recognize the bell network, only the Rogers network (and it was bought new at a Telus store!)
I think that I need to re-flash the radio, and maybe the kernel. I searched to try and find the radio image for my phone, but haven't found anything clear enough for me to be comfortable to try - I've read time and again that flashing radios is one of the riskier things to do. I don't think that my phone is bricked (can still boot it up, and all of the ui works and can connect via wifi). Don't want to risk doing more damage.
Thanks again for your response though!
i think i'm having the same problem. i've manually upgraded to 2.3.3 then to 2.3.4. and then i put a sim card in - not used it as a phone before this.
i can get 3-4 white bars lit up but can't connect to any network. the bars turn green when wifi is active, but still can't connect ("can't connect at this time. please try again later" toast appears). not sure if the phone is borked, or if the upgrade wasn't that successful.
I actually have this same issue but using it on at&t in the USA...Really hope it isn't broken cause I have no way to fix it since i'm not in canada
Maybe check if the 2g box is checked in mobile networks. Check your apn settings and if that doesn't help try and flash another radio.

i'm unrooted, and don't intend to root. apn is fine as suggested above, and regardless of 2g checked or unchecked, still no connect
Rogers is the only 2G gsm provider, your phone may be stuck on 2G. If you have the choice, I would go back to 2.3.3 full stock and see if everything then works.

No. you are best to use cwm and restore a stock image for your phone

Your best option is to flash back to 2.3.3. Download rom manager from the market and flash clockwork recovery. Once in recovery flash the 2.3.3 .zip file. I saw it somewhere here but i forgot where I saw it. Hope that helps.

Try this http://devsforandroid.com/index.php?board=18.0
I'm NOT SURE if it'll work, but it's worth the try. Make sure to to wipe everything before you flash. I'm not responsible for any damage this may cause. But I hope this helps you out.
If anyone wants to chime in and correct me please do so.

Or if you're not comfortable flashing the stock 2.3.3 rom maybe just try and flash back the xxkb2 radio which I believe was the stock baseband for Rogers, telus, Fido and bell. I have the .zip file for you to try and flash through CWM if you need it. Otherwise you can find it somewhere here aswell.

i'm not looking to root nor use any 'hacks'. i don't trust them.
under the battery, the phone is just a i9020. no letter afterwards.
Flashing a ROM doesn't require root, it requires unlocking the bootloader, which Google officially allows you to do that. You can unlock the bootloader, flash 2.3.3 ROM, then lock it as if it had never been unlocked. Just keep in mind that unlocking resets to factory default and wipes your SD card clean, backup before you do it.
Ahhh yes, I had same thing except with Telus I fixed it once, but the second time I could not get it to work, do this, flash this radio
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044261
it is the stock radio your phone came with, then call up bell and get them to "repush" your sim card... hopefully you will see your network again.

if i unlock to then flash, don't i need a radio package? how do i know which one to use?
also, would i be able to do a full compile of android and flash that?

It depends on which ROM you flash. I flashed the official 2.3.3 ROM, it contains the radio image, it'll flash it as you apply the update.
Do you remember which baseband version it came with out of box? That should give us hint as to which radio applies to your phone. I think there are really only two types of radios used except NS 4G, 850/1900/2100 (i9020A radio) and 900/1700/2100 (i9020T radio). You can ask your service provider or check out their website which band you are running on.
Back to flashing ROM, I just realised you don't even need to unlock the bootloader if you are flashing Google signed files. You should most likely be able to flash a 2.3.3 full ROM, then flash the 2.3.4 update file. But if you find the 2.3.4 full ROM, that's even more convenient. I saw a full ROM on the forum, but I that was for i9023 or i9020. Not too sure, maybe others know.
For the Canadian carriers, as stated before, Rogers is the only 2g (edge) carrier all others (Bell, Telus, Sasktel) are 3g (HSPA). go Settings>Wireless & network settings>mobile networks and ensure "Use only 2g networks" is not selected.
If this does not work flash the KB2 modem, the other modems may lose 850mHz spectrum which could be causing your grief.
Solution!!! (At least this worked for me!) - Didn't have to flash anything
Hey all,
I apologize for not posting this sooner, but found a solution that worked for me, hope it might work for others experiencing the same problem.
**PLEASE keep in mind that though this worked for me, I don't know if it will work for you (maybe it might make things worse for some people). Especially keeping in mind that I DON'T KNOW FOR CERTAIN what originally caused the issue for me, nor what specific factors (rom build, phone model, radio image, etc) might have contributed. As well, I am on the Bell Network. USE ANY OF WHAT'S STATED BELOW AT YOUR OWN RISK. Disclaimer stated, read on...**
In the dialer, I punched in *#*#4636#*#* and then from the menu that popped up, selected Phone Information.
From there, in the Set preferred network type: drop down menu (scroll down a little, you'll see it) I selected GSM/CDMA auto (PRL). **Again, remember that I'm on the Bell Network in Canada. Should you be trying this, these settings might not be for you. Again, AT YOUR OWN RISK**
Then, still from the Phone Information screen, I pressed menu button (the hard menu button on the phone), and then chose the Select Radio Band option. From there, I believe I selected Auto, though I may have selected USA (It's been a couple of days, and I can't remember, I apologize).
After that, went back to the Phone Information menu, and pressed Run Ping Test. It seemed to show all of the necessary (and appropriate for my network) settings as ok, and... everything worked!!! Full network connection as before!
Hope this might help someone else! Keep in mind that I'm not sure what caused the original problem; I do believe I remember pressing the 2g/3g toggle, and also remember reading somewhere that this can cause problems. Specifically, that it stopped peoples phones from going back from 2g to 3g - in my case (Bell Mobility) there is no 2g network to drop down to, so if it got stuck on EDGE mode, it probable looked for the only local carrier with a GM EDGE network, (Rogers) and got stuck there. Not sure, but maybe this is what happened. Any wise folks out there that might be able to confirm/offer insight?
Anyhow, thanks so much for all the responses and offers of help!
I flashed and rooted my phone. It was Rogers Canadian variant, and before hand I had volte and the option to toggle it. I rooted my phone with the noble kernel and installed a custom recovery. I than flashed arters kernal and Thrashrom. However, I noticed my volte option has vanished and the phone would switch to 4g on calls. I wipe all date and reflashed. I wiped and unrooted and flashed stock. Wiped and tried Thrashrom again. All the options to not yield results. How could just this one option vanish? Everything else is there, but I cant even find the option any longer. Please help me. I am at my wits end.
Anyone? Have any ideas? I have spent so much time on this I can't seem to figure it out.
Try checking the forum on the kernel that you are using. Some support volte and others don't. Also another thing is to check your APN settings. You will have to Google your settings and change them accordingly. Hope this helps.
You need to load your csc file though Odin to get it back.
Hi Guys, I know I am an idiot for not following all those guides properly and now I think I have bricked my device?
Well I am in Australia and I have this G920P model on android 5.1.1 (Unrooted). All was working fine, I bought it second hand from someone, I believe this is a U.S Sprint version, But I had my Telstra sim working in it with 4g data without issues.
So I decided to root it (without backing up- I know my mistake) and then flash XtreStoLite rom (again without doing any backup of original Rom). After that My device did not detect my sim card and there is nothing in the IMEI section of the phone.
I tried to flash official G920P rom via odin which installed successfully, and it shows signal on my phone, let me make calls but No Data. Seems like it is not registering my phone on the network properly.
So what have I done to my phone? Any chances to recover it somehow?

Have you the efs folder in your / partition? To check:
-Open any root explorer
-Go to / and check if efs folder exist
-If exists any file into it, tell me.

Thanks for a quick response, I Installed a root browser app and yes I can see EFS folder there and there are a bunch of folders and files in the EFS folder. e.g bluetooth, carrier, cpk, Factoryapp, imei, lost+found.... and so on
Appreciate your help in advance.
Have you checked your apn setting ? Make sure your carriers apn settings are restored.
Ok. I'll look into it. Thanks.

Ok, I have entered my network's pan settings manually and I get can get the data working but it only picks up 3g not 4g. I can make calls too.
But every time i restart the phone it keeps on checking the network status and picks up the signal after 3-4 minutes.
Also its stuck on the Hands Free activation screen and keeps on re-trying it.
Any help would be appreciated if I can get my device back to a normal one. Any other ROM's should i try?
One more question guys, Is there any non - sprint ROM for this device G920P? Because when I bought the device, I had no sprint stuff on it. No boot up splash screen or anything. I did not make note of which build version was it on but it definitely said G920P and it was on android 5.1.1.
Thanks
You may find and extra menu by typing ##scrtn#. I wouldnt reset to defaut as those general would be sprints settings. Try to find your carriers apn settings online.You should be able to cancel the hands free default activation. Are you still rooted?

Stock or custom? If i find it i'll give you a notice asap.
I am now on a stock rooted rom. Would prefer to have a rooted rom. I have tried installing renegade but it get stuck on finding network and stuck in a loop.
Imei number is now showing up. But i wonder what version this phone was on when it was unrooted ? As everything was working perfect and i had no traces of sprint either.

Sprint GS6 Edge - Unlocked by Sprint - Android 6.0.1
I updated to Marshmallow earlier today and everything is great except for the fact that I am not getting signal on my phone. It keeps saying Searching for Service on the top left of the screen and the signal bars stay at 0.
I tried changing Network Mode but I get an "Emergency Calls only" if i switch to GSM/ UMTS and if I try to look for my network provider manually I get no results. With both LTE/ CDMA and CDMA it just keeps looking for Service.
I am not in the States but have been using this phone for the past year or so with no problems until I updated this morning (downloaded .tar file and flashed it with Odin).
I was rooted and had a custom rom before I updated but I made sure to clean the phone and do all the steps correctly to update. Also, the phone gets signal even without rooting/ custom rom in 5.0.2 (again, Sprint unlocked the phone when I first got it).
Any ideas on what to do/ how to fix this? If it is a problem with the update, is there a way for me to go back to 5.0.2?
Thanks for the help!
Same problem OTA update.
Did u find any solution to your problem I am also outside US, I got an OTA update of Marshmallow for GS6(unlocked by sprint), and it can't find the network anymore, I've been using the phone with the same regional carrier for months and now after the update can't find the network.
Same issue here... I have tried everything... and nada!
Also out of the country with a rooted and unlocked Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge SM-925P - I tried and searched everywhere, even went to a "GSM Phone Genius Store" and they could not do anything for me. I do get on my network (Orange), on automatic or LTE data works fine but I can't either receive nor make calls. At first I thought it had something to do with the Hands Free Activation pop up but after I could not find any solution I went back to 5.1.1 the Hands Free Activation popped again and of course would not register just like on 6.0.1 but... I had all my network connections working fine. I was able to make calls, receive them and LTE data as well. So that was not the issue. I then (rooted) took off the Hands Free Activation pop up by renaming the SprintDM.apk file to .bak just in case you guys want to remove the annoying notification... In all the searching I found that this was a glitch on Sprint's version of the Marshmallow update, since this is the only 6.0.1 for my SM-925P I could not use another country's 6.0.1 I tried jejeje, believe me I tried... So, it appears that we will have to wait until Sprint finds it in them to fix this but I am very hopeful the REAL Geniuses of XDA could come up with a patch for this issue. The guys at the store I went said that the cell's operating system was not getting the GSM network and that is why I could not make or receive any calls and the LTE was working fine. Hope this helps some and even more hopeful that any of the boyz/girlz of XDA take pitty on us and come up with a fix for this thanks in advance...
Mario Bello Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge SM-925P
Is it because you're out of the States has something to do with it?
A few of us did the same thing but didn't encounter any of the issues you're mentioning?!
So far everything is working smoothly. I just can't wait for a nice MM based ROM to come out for Sprint variants..
I guess but I went back to 5.1.1 and everything works fine... So, I do think so... Oh well, me too waiting on a MM Rom to see if something changes... But meanwhile still NOT able to make or receive calls ...
Possible Fix
I had this problem with a Sprint S6 Flat too, what I did to fix it was to download an older firmware where the S6 was gettin signal then extract the modem.bin from it and flashed it in odin, restart the phone and got signal
How did you extract de file to get the modem?

Wow really thought this was gonna work, many thanks... I did as you said and was very hopeful... once I flashed the modem the phone did come up with a signal and I could make calls but now the phone does not switch from GSM to LTE back and forth. If I have it on (Automatic) LTE/Data works fine, as soon as I try to make a call it goes to 3g then just signal up but it does not make the call and then it wont bring back LTE, stays on 3g... I'm dying here with this! If I put it on GSM / UMTS I am able to make calls but no Data...
I did do it with the 6.0.1 as it was, I gonna try this, do a factory reset, flash a clean version of the 6.0.1 and then flash the modem to see what happens.
Again, many thanks GTOFerrari, by far the best option TO FIX this I have see to date.

Yeah, I was curious as to how to do that as well, spent sometime in google but I found the way, and it is actually very simple. You download the firmware from which you would like to extract the modem. Then with WinRAP or any software like that you find the firmware and click extract on a folder cause about 5 files extract from it or so and you will see the modem.bin file there. Now, the issue was how to flash the bin file through Odin, it does not say "Phone" anymore like previous versions of Odin, so more google time spent and what I ended up doing was converting the .bin file to TAR and then flashed it through Odin clicking on AP like always. I found a software called PeaZip that converts the .bin file into TAR... There's probably a way to flash it through Odin as a .bin file clicking on one of the other options BL, CP (probably this one CP) or CSC but I don't know which represents "Phone" for sure so I converted the file as instructed on another XDA thread and that's how I did it.
Hope this helps, and again, the props on the solution goes to GTOFerrari...!

Thank you Mario. I noticed that my network options used to included in the version 5.1.1 CDMA/EvDo/GSM/ O WCDMA , and my used to work fine in H+ in network mode gsm/wcdma. Now I only get the network options Cdma/Lte .. Gsm/Umts. I will keep trying and let you know if I get it to work.
I have the international Note 5, with a t-mobile sim card. When I am on the 4g network and I try to call somebody it takes 20-30 seconds to call. When people call me, they can't reach me. Though the 4g internet works like a charm.
The only way for calling to work is to switch it to 2g, but I am loosing the 4g internet speeds.
I contacted t-mobile, they tried to reset the network, but the problem persists.
Any suggestions?
Would flashing with a custom rom help?
Should I flash the original t-mobile rom?

I found the problem
The problem has to do with the volte... This option is not available with the n905c model that I have, and there seems not to be a fix with t-mobile. Fricken Samsung didn't put available this feature in the upgrades of some international phones eg the Dubai model that I have...
I have the same problem
I just bought two t-mobile branded Note 5's and I'm using them on Family Mobile (previously owned by tmobile). If I limit my networks to 2G & 3G all of my calling works fine but the moment I enable LTE all of my incoming calls go strait to vm. The problem persists on both phones so I don't think it's a hardware issue. I've tried rooted and unrooted, magisk and supersu. VoLTE is turned off on both phones (since it's not supported by family mobile) but I've tried every combination of settings I can think of and nothing helps. I hate having to choose between having LTE or getting incoming calls and would love to fix the problem. Or is there a good way to totally disable or remove the VoLTE services? If I remember correctly there were similar problems with some of the S4s that required an app like advanced signal status (??? been a while) to overcome. Can anyone help? Please and thank you.
I have the same problem
Hi all,
I have the same problem, even I have install & root with custom rom the problem still exist.
someone told me that the problem is in 3G signal.
so I decide to choose LTE & GSM only, & it works for me. however it could not give 3G signal on my phone.
Did you find the other olution of this?
Evening all, I've been having this same issue, hoping there would be a fix. Not ready to purchase a new phone when there is nothing wrong with the one I have still good for at least another yr(maybe). but not rite now.

Hi all,
maybe this method could solve the issue. please try it & follow below step.
1. reset to factory setting then after finish please clear Dalvik Cache.
2. Flash with the latest Odin & latest firmware, but you don't need to change everything in options tab. then click start.
3. After finish, then insert APN as mention in this link (please read how to set APN on Galaxy note5)
4. After select your desired APN, please change APN name become ****4g.com (or you can find this apn setting in your carrier SIM (check in google)
5. Finish, please check your phone.
hope above method could solve the issue, however it works for me now.
please try at your own risk & don't forget to always save your data before.
This is the FIX for the Note 5 SM-N920 C, i know this works because i have been dealing with this for MONTHS, so i tried EVERY Custom Roms Untill i figuard WHY NOT flash a Stockish T-Mobile Rom with a Custom Kernel for the 920C. And Just like that i got My Awesome Note 5 BIZACKKK, Here we go, Follow these steps, Upgrade to the FIRST 7.0 that came out for the SM-N920C, of course you should already know to turn on debuging + OEM, Flash TWRP through Odin, then go to the TMOBILE Development Section and THANK "@Marinella" First and foremost for cooking up this Rom, Download his Stockish Unrooted Rom ++7.0 ROM Stock Unrooted N920TUVU4EQE1++you will also need (MAKE SURE TO THANK--->>> ""@AndroidSword"" ) this 7.0 Kernel, go to the seack bar and type it in, FUEL-KERNEL-V2 .... now before anything, Of course do FULL WIPES Of Everything like you usually wipe when downloading other Roms, flash the stockish Rom first, then the Kernel, Just so you know, the Kernel has 2 choices of root. ITS AS SIMPLE AS THAT>>!!!!, Boot your Device and wait, this took me months to figure out after flashing so many diffrent Rom, Now I Have My Favorite International Note 5 Back, trust me , this WILL WORK ON THE 920C. ENJOY...
