after flashing a Rom (Gingerbread 2.3.4 T959VUVKG4 ) via ODIN, i have a baseband issue (baseband & IMIE showing UNKNOWN) I tried flashing some modems (ki1.tar.md5 / kh2.tar.md5 & etc) via ODIN but nothing worked for me...
Any suggestion / tutorial ?
I take it you cant connect to network..you probably click something extra on odin or just
Somehow it wipe your emei during flash..
Only way i known to restore this is if you have a backup of your efs folder on your sd card..No dont ask for anyone's else they are not going to give it to you..no one likes having same emei for several reasons!

I know the orders. before i post here i searched several times for the solutions.. didnt find anything....thats why i made the question, order as follows:

Hey bro i had the same issue, when i Flashed to 2.3.3 i had noticed my baseband and imei are missing or (unknown) so i thought re flashing it would fix no luck. So what i did that some how magically worked. I flashed back to 2.2.1 and still no luck baseband and imei are still missing so i flashed back to GB 2.3.3 still no luck. So i flashed back to 2.2.1 but this time the only thing i had different was i had my SD and SIM card out of it when i flashed back and it restored my efs folder. Hoped this helped.
hi thr bro...so means u get back to 2.2.1>>>>2.3.3>>>>2.2.1 to get baseband works again? thanks

I have been running a rooted samsung infuse with various roms for the past 6 months. I went to flash the latest modem this morning and when my phone came back on I had no service. At that time I was running CM7 and updating to the KK4 modem.
As I have worked through this problem I have returned to stock via ultimate unbrick. I have searched all over, but cant seem to find a solution.
Details:
Samsung Infuse running Stock 2.2.1
Problem:
No Service
No IMEI - reads null/null
About says: Baseband Version: Unknown
after doing several hours of research and trying various things I have not been able to find a solution.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I am not so sure if KK4 would work on 2.2. It is a GB modem.
And flashing back to stock overwrites modem and kernel and all back to stock, except formatting internal SD.
It appears I may have some backups of my nv_data files under:
/efs/root/afs/settings/
with the following files:
.nv_data.bak
.nv_data.bin
.nv_data.md5
can someone tell me if these are backup files and if I just need to move them into some other directory?
What directory does the phone read the normal nv_data files from?
Thanks
If you have a backup of your efs folder why not just try putting it where it would usually go?
well the easy fix that adam outler said would be to delete the efs folder all together and you will get a generic imei number but i never tried that. somehow you wound up with corrupt files in the efs partition. but if you have backups you can try to copy them over the originals.
you can also dd the efs partition and tell it to ignore bad blocks with
dd if=/dev/block/stl3 of=efs.img conv=noerror
this will make a backup of whatever is still good for a last ditch effort to recover what ever files you can.
my guess is that you played with an aosp rom. i believe that converts /efs to ext4 since rfs is closed source. i dont know how our aosp kernels work, since it is all unofficial lb may have had a different way to do it. but im guessing the conversion either corrupted the partition or that the kenrel you have cant read ext4. you might just need to install a voodoo kernel for the phone to be able to mount it. im not really sure.

This was a long time ago. But I believe the solution was exactly what was said above. Delete the EFS folder and have it recreate your IMEI. You should also check to make sure you have a phone compatible modem. Check your modem and reflash another one if that's where the problem could have come from.
Almost same Problem
Even I have the same problem, but with a slight plus point
Sometimes, I get the network, but after a while,it's gone .
If I'm on a call (when I luckily get network) , it gets disconnected within a minute or two .. and in a minute ,I get back the signals (nd sometimes,it takes hours to get back the network)
What could the problem possibly be ??
Is there anyone on the forum to help me out ??
Thanks.
P.S : There is no fault with the Sim,I have tried multiple SIMs , the problem remains same throughout .
Hi at all...
I need help ....my nexus s shows the dev IMEI004999010640000..so the EFS folder is corrupted.
What i did and what my problem is:
I bought my nexus s a few months ago make a efs folder backup like everyone recommend and everything was fine i run JB-DoubleX no problems at all. One day in the morning nexus s want turn on ....dead... i tried everything...nothing ....so i sent it for repair...last friday it come back with Gingerbread 2.3.4on it then i made the ota update to ICS and then flashed the last bootloader LC2 and radioXXI1 after that i flashed my standard JB ROM Double X. This time i don´t make a new efs-folder backup because i thought i already had made one and phone came from repair with same imei and serial number.
As i recognized that my imei was corrupted i thought no problem i have already a backup so i copy the efs backup folder in my phone like it is discribed in some treads here on xda but mei imei doesn´t change to the right one it stays at 004999010640000 now i run out of ideas.
Also courios things are that i have any problems with playstore or with calls, mms, sms all seems tho work normal.
Can anyone of you help me please...????
I have had this issue since shortly after the Nexus S came out. So over year and half. The phone is still in use by my wife, running latest jb build. Every feature works.
First, try to flash it back to factory stock. If that don't work, copy over the efs folder, but remember to boot into CWM and choose the "fix permissions" option.
Thanks guys for the answers...
But I have allready flashed stock ROM from Google Server (Gingerbread 2.3.x) with fastboot....not working.
Flashed Gingerbrad 2.3.x with Odin....same ...not working followed some treads here on XDA....allways same result....generic IMEI.
So now I have a backup of my efs that seems to mismatch to my phone after repair....so i think there is no hope to get back my IMEI..
I think its a md5 hash problem i believe that the md5 of the nv_data.bin(or an other file in the efs folder) must match to some other md5 somewhere in the system....otherwise the change is locked.
This is not a fact its only what i think by myself.....

Hi all,
Flashed a new ROM for the very first time and I guess I've screwed up something.
I flashed the stable version of CyanogenMod 7.2. Everything seems to be running fine EXCEPT my sim-card is NOT being detected!
Cant find any network. Also the new ROM has completely wiped out my IMEI no. (That could be the source of the problem, dont know.)
Also, I really dont know my current or previous baseband,, err newbie!( maybe thats the cause of problem)...
Pls somebody HELP!
PS. my phone aint carrier specific and was earlier running on 2.2.1(if it helps )
Baseband problem, you was on a Froyo (10b-e) baseband, CM7 requires the 20G baseband, restoring a Nandroid should work. If you haven't got one. Then you will be using the LG flasher, good luck!
There's a baseband fix script lying around the forums somewhere that should allow new baseband ROMs to work for you. Search for something called "bbfix", or something like that.

Yeah... Im having the same problems with the SD Card and I just cant install any rom... I tried everything and it wont work ;(

Look for "Old Baseband Fix" in the first post
Or you can just use this link, which is from the first post:
http://www.mediafire.com/?tjyibxdbqyyrmwz
Flash it in recovery and see if that works
I got a p500h from my friend since my razr droid died and I needed something to hold me over until I can save up for the note3. It had 2.2 on it so I flashed CM 10.1 for 4.2.2. When I put my sim card in I had no service.
I checked the baseband and it was unknown so I flashed it for v.20 and it appeared but I still get no service.
I don't have gapps installed because I don't really need it.
And that's pretty much it. I can't think of anything else to try, can someone help? I'm using a non-smart phone in the meantime and it is quite terrible.
Try the old Baseband fix, that did it for me some years ago, not sure if you need the v10 baseband coming from 2.2 but the fix should work. You can find it here on the Forum.
If nothing works, use kdz to flash the Stock Rom and start over.

Thanks, I wanted to try that but when I go to download the milk_os fix at the bottom of this page
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14743798&postcount=2
I get redirected to some bull****(lp.downloadsetup.net)
And I just don't trust this thing, is this really what I'm suppose to download?
Is definitely the fault of baseband. Some rom is incompatible with any type of baseband. Try to download from play store an application with baseband-ril match...

Sounds like you have an old baseband phone, but you flashed a new baseband ROM on it. In that case, simply flash the zip indicated below (I suggest you mount /system in recovery before flashing, even though the script auto-mounts /system, just to be sure). I'm attaching two zips for the sake of completeness; the one you want is the Use_New_BB_ROMS.zip.
Use_New_BB_ROMS.zip -- Flash this zip if you're trying to use a new baseband ROM on a phone that uses the old baseband. If you have no network on 2.3 and above ROMS, your phone probably uses the old baseband, so this is the zip you need.
Use_Old_BB_ROMS.zip -- Flash this zip if you're trying to use an old baseband ROM on a phone that uses the new baseband. If you have no network on 2.2 and below ROMS, your phone probably uses the new baseband, so this is the zip you need.

I tried to flash it but I get an error: can't copy META-INF/com/google/android/updated-binary
Should I be wiping cache for this? Dalvik cache?
I used LGMDP-v1.5 to get bb v.20 on my phone in the first place, I tried to do the same with v.10 after v.20 didn't work but it just went back to baseband unknown. when I tried to download the milk_os fix it just linked me to some phishing page.
What recovery are you using? I've tried with AmonRa & CWM 5.0.2.0 and both work. Other CWM versions will probably work, too. Haven't tried with TWRP.
If this flashed successfully but you still don't have service, then you might have borked something when changing baseband in KDZ. If that's the case, then hopefully others will be able to help you as I've never touched KDZ myself.

I tried it, here's what happened.
First I just flashed it, I checked the baseband, it was unknown. Previously it was v.20 so I tried flashing in v.10 since this was a fix for v.10 AFAIK
Still unknown.
Tried flashing the fix again just to overwrite whatever it needed to overwrite and still unknown.
I'm back to square 1 on this one.

I rooted my phone, everything was fine running SpaceX Kernel until i started getting reboots. i flashed arters kernel and when my phone restarted from odin i got a message saying : This phone has been flashed with unauthorized software and is locked. the phone won't connect to the network. if i flash the stock firmware with stock kernel it won't boot for some reason. It only boots up with a rooted kernel but my baseband says unknown and my imei is null. if i flash darthstalker ROM i get the baseband back but imei is still null, i tried changing the imei and masking it with apps but no luck. people keep saying that my efs folder got corrupted... so i was gonna try copy somebody's folder to see if my phone connects to the network. that's where I'm at, this sucks and I'm desperate for help. by the way, right now I'm running stock COI5
Anything will be appreciated.
