Low signal problem after installing any ROM (not a no signal-no sim detected thread) - Samsung Galaxy Xcover 2 Questions & Answers

Hi!
I got a Samsung XCover2 GT-S7710. Like all the rest i had problems with the space. I tried to install link2sd which worked but after some time the phone wasnt usable. I then installed a pre rooted stock rom (S7710XXAMB6_S7710OXEAMB3-20130713.7z) and went a step further and installed the 10.2 cyanogenmod. With link2sd the phone was flawless. Fast, with space, beautiful. After 10 days disaster strikes. No signal. I believe that that wanst the case and i had the issue i have now, which is low signal, in a building i get emergency only calls and cant register to tha vodafone carrier, at open space, i have data and network!!!
After the no signal i started trying different firmwares. I tried all the odexed and deodexed firmwares that the forum has, i tried stock firmware from sammobile for greece vodafone (S7710XXANI3_S7710VGRANI1_HOME.tar.md5) and i tried all 10.1 10.2 11 cyanogenmod and 4.4.4 vanir roms. I tried the chown /efs /modem hack, and i tried both custom and stock recoveries. I tried different csc firmwares and both repair firmwares that i found here, with the pda csc and pit files. The counter at the download mod says 25 i believe.
Everything did the same thing. I haven t got signal indoors and the signal is fine outdoors.
Can you please point to a direction because i cant think of anything else other than a broken antenna?

Making and receiving calls not possible

Hi there,
after updating to official Froyo JPO/JPP/JP3 my radio doesn't work no more:
It shows signal after entering the SIM code
I can't make a call as it doesn't seem to connect to the network, although it shows network coverage.
I can't receive calls as well (tested with a landline).
The IMEI is still there and correct.
Product Code is I9000HKDDBT
Restoring old backups via Nandroid doesn't help
I wonder, what could be the reason. Reflashing different ROMs doesn't help (tried with JF3, JPO official, DocRom v8, ...). Supposing it could have something to do with /efs, I already restored my /efs folder to an earlier state, but it didn't work either. Could anyone tell me the correct permissions, owners and groups of the files within /efs? Or is it something totally different?
Thanks for your help!
Noone here that knows something about that?
I have the same problem i think. I can download apps from the market but can't recieve or make texts or calls.
can anyone help?
Same issue here.
Phone shows signal but if you show the status screen it only shows emergency call only.
Signal showing, according to the Debug it is showing 7 antenas nearby, also the network lock code is off for every lock, so i dont know...
is a Tmobile originally branded but flashed with darkys rom. PReviously was unlocked using the one click method,
does you phone display a baseband?
I had a jp3 in today that had no baseband
just flashed it using odin with jpy and it worked fine.
is a Tmobile originally branded but flashed with darkys rom. PReviously was unlocked using the one click method,
If it worked before that install then go back to the original works then you know where the problem is .
jje
Me too, Flash the JPY or other firmware from uk orange firmware, has band and signal covered, but only emergency calls only at some places, specially at home.
hope someone can solve this problem

[Q] [URGENT] No network signal issue AGAIN!

So I faced the no network signal issue yet again today, and I know I may be the Nth guy who's repeating it again, but since I searched throughout the forums, and the web, but to no avail, I desperately need help here.
Mine is a Defy+, with stock rooted 2.3.4 Asia retail unlocked. My carrier is Vodafone India.
This is what I did:
- Took a backup of everything, even nandroid.
- Installed Defy 2ndinit, and got the bootmenu installed.
- Reboot>vol down on blue led>bootmenu>recovery>custom recovery
- Here I did a factory setting>Wipe Data>Wipe Dalvik Cache>Wipe Cache.
- Next>Install zip from sd>11.10 JB Defy+ Quark's ROM>Update v2>Custom GAPPS
- At this point, the phone rebooted coz there was no other option.
At first boot, it took a loooooooong time, but finally I booted into JB! Result!
But alas, there was no network signal to be found, while my other vodafone india handset had full signal.
Hence, I couldn't set up my google account, and thought, that I could fix it once I proceed.
- I tried the airplane mode on/off method: No success.
- I tried rebooting several times: No success
- I tried clearing cache & dalvik cache and then rebooting: No success
- I tried fiddling with the baseband switcher, and trying different profiles, other countries etc etc: No success.
- The phone wouldn't connect to the WEP, WPA2, or No authentication(open) ad-hoc wi-fi interent connections that I shared via my laptop either. It easily connected earlier on GB 2.3.4 stock.
- I tried manually searching for a network as well, and found EVERY network EXCEPT for Vodafone India, which my sim could register to. This, while my other vodafone phone was lying right beside it with FULL signal.
The ROM was working beautifully, with all the bells and whistles, albeit a bit laggy, but that could easily be fixed later. The main problem being that this issue, doesn't lemme get data access on my phone either, so its essentially just a dumb-phone then.
This had happened earlier as well, when I had tried to multi-boot ICS CM9, with my stock 2.3.4
Then, I couldnt part with the stock ROM, and hence I believed that the no network issue could be due to multi-booting, and would be resolved with a complete install.
Now, I love JB, and everything it comes with, but I am stuck with this essentially simple issue. Please help me out here.
Hey gautam,
i have a defy on vodafone mumbai (not a defy+) and i dont seem to have a problem. I hadvent used CM10 i was on 7.2 and i used central europe as my baseband in the baseband switcher. But actually i had signal straight out of the box with 7.2. I would suggest you try with another sim card. Or try downgrading. It could be because 11.10 is custom kernel one but nogoodusername is also an indian and is using custom kernels. I doubt its a baseband problem because you can see and register on other networks. I think possibly something was corrupted by your install since not even your wifi is not working some radio drivers could be bugged.
If its not your sim a reflash of OS might be required. If you're downgrading to GB you may need to reflash your kernel to get off Quarx's

Will try and find out if this works..
Please keep sharing any other solutions in case this doesn't work..
If you have IMEI number use Baseband switcher , play with is a little bit.
if not , backup your rom , flash stock SBF. <wipes and all with stock recovery>
boot to stock FW , and now you 2 options :
Case 1:- You don't have signal , and even if you don't have IMEI number in stock , root it and use the baseband switcher on the stock , make sure you reboot every BB switch , and that Signal bar even tries to increase <even a little bit.>
Case 2:- You have signal .
please try these steps to get network

[Q] Network Signal Loss when screen timout / awake occurs.

I Recently updated my rom to Android 4.3 see attached for current information.
Before I installed I did a full wipe via clockwork mod, I have also flashed other Roms prior to the one shown and still suffered the same problem.
I currently reside in the UK and to my knowledge my S4 is unbranded however it currently uses a contract sim from the UK network carrier Three.
On a previous build of Android I was using the rooted stock rom and never suffered any issue.
My Problem:
When my screen times out and is once again awaken via the power button, I loose my network reception. To get the reception back I have to put my phone in flight mode and the turn it off again. The network signal stays until my screen times out again.
I have spent most part of the day looking for a solution including flashing various modems, to no avail. So I have finally admitted defeat and hope that someone here could be kind enough to point me in the correct direction.
Problem fixed thanks to hawkerpaul who posted here:

Out of Service Network most of the time after flashing custom ROM

I hope I am posting in the right section.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 (I9505) and it was crashing on the stock ROM so I flashed the Imperium LL Rom v11.0. The problem I am having is my phone reporting no network signal or "Out of service". But not always. After a reboot I usually have network signal. After locking and unlocking the phone I never have. The signal usually comes within a few minutes. When my phone is reporting "Out of service" I cannot make calls but I can still receive calls. And after the received call has terminated I can still not make calls. After a few minutes the network signal icon comes and I can make calls. Until I lock my phone because it gets lost everytime.
Some info:
1. I was on a rooted Stock 4.2.2 before I flashed the Imperium LL Rom.
2. The IMEI seems to have changed. I never took note of it before flashing, so it might have always been different but the IMEI reported by the phone is different from the IMEI on the sticker underneath the phone battery. I tried the Xposed IMEI changer but the problem still happens so this may be unrelated.
3. While searching I found it could be an invalid Modem driver. In the settings the Baseband version is I9505XXUBMEA so I tried flashing the driver for that version using ODIN. No change.
4. I tried via Recovery to flash Slim80 Kernel Cleaning Script v1.9 and then the Imperium Kernel v3.3 but no change.
I did a factory wipe before flashing the firmware.
Any help or suggestions please?
Thanks!
I have actually solved this. What I had tried before was flashing the modem with the same Baseband I had previously ie: I9505XXUBMEA thinking that there were specific versions which needed specific drivers. Upon reading more I found out that newer versions of the modem should be installed and that XX was a carrier code and the last 2 letters are how recent the driver is. So I tried the latest modem (XXUHOE2) I could find similar to the Imperium Build which is XXUHOJ2 and it seems to be working. My phone retains the network signal when put to sleep.
The fact the IMEI changed is weird and I don't know if it makes a difference. Maybe it was always like this..but it is strange that it is different to the one on the sticker. The format is correct because only the last 4 digits differ.
Anyway I hope this info helps someone with similar problems.
How can I mark the title for this as [Solved]? I can't find any way.

Emergency calls only stock 4.4.2 ROM

I need some help on my Grand 2. The other day, I had flashed a view ROM's from the Original Development section, and succeed in getting them to work. After a while (my bad for not noticing earlier), I saw that my card seems like it wasn't registered to network (Emergency calls only). Assuming that I did something wrong, I flashed latest 4.4.2 stock using Odin, and noticed that on stock, only Sim 1 is working. After trying out a few stock 4.4.2, and some other ROM, now both sim cards aren't working.
I checked IMEI, and both IMEI are still readable, so I don't think it's EFS issue. And I have also tried to flash modem.bin but it still isn't working. Using Odin to repartition and flash stock also doesn't work.
Does someone here have some experience on this and could point me to the right direction?
