HELP! "Emergency calls only", but i've tried all

Hello, in december, one day suddenly i was in the car and i was driving through a zone with a low signal, from that moment, my S6, losed the signal, and died (?). Today, are 2 months that i don't have signal. I have also tried different sim cards, but nothing. After i had this problem, i did a factory reset from the phone, i put a different sim card in the phone and it worked, i saw the carrier, and i received the sms with the internet configuration, after 1 minute i lose the signal, after that, again, the phone didn't wanted to receive signal. i also tried with a romanian SIM (i am from Italy), but nothing, i see the R near the signal bars. if i go in settings and i search the network operators, the phone finds all, but i can't connect (the SIMs in another S6 works). my phone originally had a brand ROM (WIND Italy), so first through Odin i re-flashed it, but nothing. i also tried to flash the fw with no-brand, but nothing. I've tried absolutely all, i did reboot, flight mode, factory reset, Odin, changed sim, i don't know what to do. my model it's the SM-G920F, i have the 5.1.1, i never did root or flashed custom ROMs, the IMEI it's okay. if i go in ''SIM card status'', in Signal strength, the signal moves, but in Service state it displays "Out of service". The curious fact is that, before this happens, the phone worked for 6/7 months normal, without network problems, after i started using this operator (WIND), after a few weeks, it started that crazy story. what can i do? :crying::crying:

thanks, should i wait for the italy Marshmallow update or install the other already existing? because here in Italy, Vodafone has released the update, should i install this one, or maybe the UK or another? i am on the no brand fw.

Flash any stock 6.0.1 from Sammobile(it won't change Your knox counter) and if it doesn't work take it to Your carrier seller or samsung service repair center. They both will either fix it for free of give You a new one. Mostly odin reflash fixes all problems.

okay, in past, the flashes i did, i just flashed on Odin without doing factory reset (from system or recovery), or deep clean, should i this time? because updating the fw, it updates the modem part, so i think that i don't have to reset it (?), i don't know, also after i did the update, if the network doesn't works, can i downgrade back to 5.1.1 simply flashing again the fw?

Just make sure you are updating the right rom for your model...dont use another rom for another model...this can get you problems after some times...lets say you flashed vod rom on XEF this will give you ptoblems later mybe loosing imei or signal....and if update ota you get updates for VOD not XEF...its just not right...my advice update right rom for you model look sammobile

i think the problem could be the antennas inside...but i guess the fix is to replace the entire motherboard and that is expensive

i don't know, but it's really strange, because when i updated to MM, i had signal for 1min, but i rebooted it immediatly thinking "if it works, works even after the reboot", but it doesn't. i'm sorry, i hope you will resolve your problem

Firmware for SM-G930F

Hi,
I do have an unlocked version of Samsung Galaxy S7; model SM-G930F(international model), which I brought from Jet.com. I am using T-mobile sim prepaid sim on it.
For the past few weeks its showing problem of re-starting and hangs on Samsung boot screen(first screen with Samsung name and galaxy s7 logo) with blue light on top always on. I tried factory reset, but did not work and happens too often these days. There is no fixed way of getting out of it. Sometimes it works by clearing the cache, at times by logging in on safe mode and rebooting, then at times by charging for a while and turning it on etc...
From looking into the forums and discussion, I have the feeling that its related to bootloop or bricked phone. The only thing left to do is install firmware once again with ODIN. But I am confused on which firmware to download. Can anyone help me with which is the best one to install? Below is the phone details.
AP : G930FXXU1BPLB
CP: G930FXXU1BPJJ
CSC: G930FUUB1BPL4
Any help of this is much appreciated.

you should install all of them, in the order it says,

OK. But do you have the link to the firmware that I can use? I am not sure from the above information which firmware would be suited for my version of Galaxy S7. Looking for the downloadable firmware.

Hi mate
You had a Marsmellow firmware you can basically flash any official firmware you want , as long as it belongs to a G930F , pick a country similar or same to where you live
Check here
Get a Nougat firmware they are working fine, follow the intruction in how to flash , pick CSC or home_csc , CSC will factory rest your phone will it leave it like new , if you use home_csc has to be same as the one you have your phone then you will not lose any data

SM - G930F
Thank you!!
I got the file downloaded now. Do I need to select all the AP, BL, CP and CSC on the ODIN software to reset it?

Today morning again the phone got hanged in the bootscreen. So, I decided to run the ODIN3 with all the 4 files selected. I installed the Samsung drviers and followed all the instruction and run the application with all the 4 files selected. The process showed success in the ODIN3 application. But even after that, the phone is stuck on the bootloader Samsung with Galaxy S7 logo.
Any idea what to do next or how to resolve this issue?

Did you factory reset from recovery and flashed firmware again?

Perhaps someone can answer a similar question for me? I have the XEU nougat beta firmware, can I flash the BTU final nougat without needing to factory reset?

OK.... here is the SAD news.. I gave the phone for repair on a local cellphone shop. They did some testing on it and said its related to software. After trying to fix it with installing software and other fix they called me a while back and said `THERE IS NO FIX FOR IT`.
Not sure what to do with it. Bought this unlocked only 6 months back and its already dead....
Never going for another Galaxy for sure.

Yeah, you can do that, but is preferable to do the flash then a factory reset...

Serious connection problems with SM-G920f

Hi everybody, I do not know if there is some discussion open yet but I can not speak and write so much in English.
I come to the problem already written on the SAMSUNG ASSISTENZA forums without solving anything, the only solution to bring it into service.
Ok I have a Samsung S6 SM-G920F which now works only with 2g network, with 3g and 4g network does not work, has field but does not surf.
These tests have been carried out:
Tested SIM sim card on another phone works.
Try other cards on my phone do not work.
Done Update ITV has solved nothing.
Tried other roms I now have French Android firmware 7.0 (I've read that many have solved) flashing and hard reset all the same problem.
I have no root.
Other evidence, removed the board inserted another card nothing.
Changed APN manually.
Restore Factory Settings.
Restore network settings.
The problem has never been resolved.
Here you are a lot better in the world, maybe you know how to do it and thank you.
Sorry for my English but I used Google Translate

Did you tried to flash only modem...?
Maybe that can solve the problem, not shure....!
And better to flash the stock rom that device had when you bought it

Ok ok, understand, perfect.
I noticed unpacking the firmware ITV Italia no brands that until December had a modem, modem.bin then in the next releases the modem has always been updated, since December I got the problems.
As you said you might be the file modem.bin thread that does not work well.
I tried with Odin 3.12.3 to mount the only modem.bin file in CP .... just do not install me Odin is stuck before downloading it on the phone.
Do you know how to do it and why do not you install me?
I'll try to do this and then if it's okay I'll go to the Firmware BTU or DBT .... I think the modem is the problem too because the rest of the phone works and goes only in 2G/Edge
Thanks !!!!!!!!!!!!

Ciao vforvlive
Then I tried how you said to wipe ... install the DBT 6.0.1 firmware of the latest in germany and then wipe again nothing works .... only working with 2g network.
I just noticed that H + just keeps the uploaded arrow down there is virtually no data exchange.
I also tried to put the modem.bin file when my phone worked with odin not installing me.
It's absurd I changed 20 firmware nothing ever does the same thing.
It is not even the antenna or some other thing because in 2g it normally works it obviously travels like a snail.

Flashing G955FXXU1AQDD over G955FXXU1AQDG

Hi i bought a G955F from Peru (PET) and the last firmware for that CSC is G955FXXU1AQDD and i want to try the latest G955FXXU1AQDG (PHN) but if i have to take it back to repair i would be able to flash back G955FXXU1AQDD been that firmware a downgrade over the G955FXXU1AQDG?
I dont know if ill not be able for some kind of odin issue or if i can brick the device cause i had those issues with my note 5 that wasnt able to get any version but the latest via odin.
Sorry for the bad english.
Tnx
edit: also if my G955F have PET CSC and i flash (PHN), that i think comes with multiple CSC but PET is not included, wich CSC is going to be my new one?.

As far as I know you can't downgrade, but I'm not entirely sure.
Just stay on AQDG, as long as KNOX isn't void, the service center people really shouldn't have an issue with it.

Tnx for ur answer, the problem is that my s8 plus have a carrier specifix splash screen and if i ever go to repair they inmediatly will notice a samsung splash screen instead.
I guess ill have to wait for the DG version released from my carrier to avoid been stuck with the phone if i have some kind of problem.
SOLVED: as nobody tried i did and u can downgrade without issues, yay for me.

Question One UI 5 is out. Flashing INU on EUX phone. What about OTA updates ?

Hello, I've been waiting a really long time for One UI 5 and I couldn't wait anymore once I heard the stable is out in India. I downloaded the INU firmware using Frija then I changed my CSC to INU using SamFwRP tool and flashed the INU firmware using patched Odin. Then I reverted back my CSC to EUX again with SamFwRP.
After all of this, finally did a wipe cache and factory reset. Now I'm wondering...since my CSC is back to EUX...will I still receive OTAs ? For example One UI 5.1 OTA or December security patch whenever that releases
EDIT: Weirdest thing is when I flashed INU HOME_CSC on my phone there was no data that was reset. Is it because they're both OXM ?
EDIT2: DISCLAIMER - I'm not an Android dev, I'm not knowledgeable on anything technical or otherwise. Please take advice from anyone else but me!

Thanks for the tip about Frija, I had forgotten all about that one (been checking sammobile and galaxyfirmware daily for weeks now) I'm downloading now and will edit this post with success or failure! (I'm EUY)
As for your question about still receiving OTAs or not, I honestly don't know because I've rooted every phone I've ever had in 17 years! but I can't see why it would be a problem if you didn't receive them as you can always download them from Frija surly not?
Okay download complete, I'm going in.. wish me luck!

Well yeah, you can. But I don't wanna lol. I'm not a ROM hax0r. I'm just a power user. I don't even have a Windows laptop around most of the time and Heimdall looks scary .
Is EUY the same as EUX ? I saw it on the firmware websites...but I never heard about it. Is it for France or something ? Rest of the EU uses EUX as far as I know.
I think EUX, EUY, INU are just the same ****, not sure. They all have OXM Multi CSC and they kinda look identical tbh as far as numbers go. So if you revert your CSC back to EUY...updates should work, no ?

Success!
I just flashed the Magisk patched AP file the CP file and HOME CSC file and all up and running Android 13/One UI 5... (also rooted) thanks bro..
I think if you revert your CSC back to EUY then yes I can't see any reason why you shouldn't receive OTAs

thought it was too good to be true, keep getting a service provider update required (but it won't update) and access denied here and there. can't even odin flash back to Android 12 for some strange reason hmm

It's working perfectly for me. Have you reverted CSC ? And deleted cache and factory reset after flashing. I have literally 0 errors and 5G works. But I deleted did a wipe cache and factory reset and reverted CSC as well

What Odin version too ? I used the latest PatcheD version from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/patched-odin-3-13-1.3762572/

XME - Malaysia released OneUI 5 Android 13 for Z Flip 3

This is how my INU firmware with EUX CSC looks.

I think it's to do with trying to root it. It detects root and denies access to the PC, to update the service provider and many more things something like 'we have detected a tampered device, please contact your customer service'

All okay now must have been gremlins .. I think it detects your CSC when installing, it reads your simcard.

Thanks for this thread!
It worked very well for me. Factory reset is a chore after, but everything works and I haven't had any issues so far. I do not root, so nothing to report about that.

Installed the firmware on my BTU phone
Works wonder 0 errors or issues
did Samsung and google cloud backups before flashing during setup restored both and its as if I never did a thing everything was put in its place and it was the most effortless phone setup I ever did
Now I'm just enjoying my android 13

Hi, flashing the home-csc does not restore the phone to factory settings ( wipe data etc ) If you flash the csc, then your phone will be wiped and restored as it was out of the box. Also you dont have to change CSC, i'm on XSA and I flashed the IDU firmware.... This does not chage the CSC of the phone anyway. A lot of the Samsung firmware are multi - CSC these days.

So I could actually just have stayed on EUX without changing my CSC while flashing and everything would have worked fine ? Thanks, that's really good to know!
