QUOTE(satriaguy @ Dec 10 2012, 09:32 AM) anyone using this phone on U mobile network ? Do you able to roaming using Maxis network ? i have both i9003 and Galaxy Ace, Ace have no problem roaming in Maxis network but i9003 cannot detect Maxis Network when i do Network searching. You can register the APN for Maxis manually, try that and see. Or you still have problem, you can try to switch to other baseband. |

QUOTE(dr0olingb0at @ Dec 24 2012, 10:47 AM) My IMEI and the Baseband version were both gone. Baseband may be caused by WIFI chip fault or Modem problem.I tried god knows how many ways of getting it back but all failed. Please shed some light on this.  Your IMEI is gone due to rooting/flashing custom ROM? If you have no idea how to recover IMEI or the process is too complicated to you, just flash back to stock rom and kernel, then use a jig to reset the flash counter and send it back to Samsung Service Center. I've sent twice using this same method and have no problem. |

QUOTE(dr0olingb0at @ Dec 26 2012, 05:34 PM) Well yeah it happened when I flashed some deodex packages. You nee to act dumb, if your phone is still under warranty then they shouldn't charge you anything for it because this is not consider as accidental damage.I tried almost every single way I could find in the internet and I concluded my motherboard got damaged. WiFi works fine even at current state, just the IMEI, IMEI SV, Baseband are screwed. (See my thread in XDA forum about this) I had been flashing my phone almost every few days or week (for 3 months+) without problem until that day, plus forgetting to backup my /efs folder  I also read that there is no flash counter in our SL devices. Just one question, if I were to do as you said, how much would they (Samsung SC) charge for cases like this without warranty? This sounds like a real motherboard problem. But I might be wrong.  I read that many i9003 motherboards are damaged within a year or so. People even recommend to find some reasons to get Samsung to change your motherboard before warranty ends. But then again, I might be wrong.  There is flash counter in SL as well if not mistaken, same goes to almost all Galaxy phones. |

QUOTE(dr0olingb0at @ Dec 28 2012, 10:45 AM) May I highlight that there is no more warranty (thus the question on charges) on my phone.. Wow, RM480 for motherboard is quite expensive, almost the same as screen.As far as XDA members were concerned, there isn't a flash counter, but there is in Note II and S2, etc. But doesn't matter anyway, because my warranty is over. I dropped an inquiry to Samsung SC about IMEI issue and they replied me with the quotation to change motherboard at RM480.80 EXCLUSIVE of labour charges  So no. Maybe it's time to gather money for a new phone.  You may consider for new phone since now SL the price is like around RM800? |
