PLEASE CAN I ANYONE HELP ME, DID I BRICK MY PHONE???

If the phone boots, it's not bricked. A "brick" is when your phone is stuck in a bootloop, won't turn on at all, etc. making it totally unusable.
I hate to ask the obvious question, but...did you put the AT&T SIM back in after flashing the AT&T radio?

Is my problem big???
Also it look like Blaze_4G_LB7_ICS has corrupted some info on my phone i.e Baseband, IMEI is now blank

Five bucks says that's your problem. Also, when flashing a new radio, make sure it's compatible with your device. If it's not, you'll get results like above or worse.

When you went to blaze radio did you change apn's to tmo ones

One of the more experienced devs may step in here, but at this point, I think you need to wipe your phone and use the instructions provided to take your phone back to stock. Use Titanium Backup beforehand to back up whatever apps you want (don't back up bloat or system apps considering the nature of your problem) and you can restore them once stock is renewed.
Note: Use the instructions provided! Don't skip steps, do things out of order, or succumb to knee-jerk panic reactions like flashing an incompatible radio without first setting your phone up to be compatible. Make sure you understand what you're doing before you start messing with things, or you probably will find a way to hard-brick your Skyrocket.

MB865 Indian Retail Firmware FXZ/SBF is out now. Any Devs here??

Hi guys, those who are looking Indian Retail firmware here it is:
Download "5.5.1-EDEM-27-SEARET_cfc.xml.zip" from http://sbf.droid-developers.org/edison/list.php
I confirm this is exact Retail version we have on our phones in India.
Now any devs here who can please create a custom ROM based on this? For those who don't know, Indian firmware doesn't have any restrictions like AT&T. Hotspot, network selection, *#*#4636#*#* menu all work absolutely fine, no bloatware or AT&T crap either. Indian hardware works fine with AT&T firmware so AT&T hardware should work with Indian ROM as well, with no issues.
I request any Devs here to please make a custom ROM out of this Indian firmware. Once it is properly tweaked and modded I know it will be best and most popular ROM for our beloved Atrix 2 so far.
Count me in.
I'm currently working on getting a 100% functional ME865 ROM working on the A2 because it is also much less restricted and has features like call recording, call/sms blocking, and native screenshot features. However I think that a ROM based off the Indian MB865 would be more stable on our AT&T A2 so I'd like to try it . It won't be too hard to get a stock, rooted, deodexed ROM out of the fxz and then I'll see if I can add in some the the ME865's extra features .
I'm downloading the fxz now on super-slow internet. I'll flash tonight and see what I can do (time permitting).

Call recording? Interesting. Indian ROM doesn't have this function. Ever since I moved away from Nokia (years ago), I always missed this thing in Android. Would really look forward to your ROM. And yes, Indian and US hardware is exactly same, even model no. is same, so they can use each other's ROM, tried AT&T ROM on my Indian model and it works flawlessly, if only AT&T crap and restrictions were not there. Patiently waiting for your ROM. Gonna be very popular I believe.

Don't forget to thank my old friend Skrilax_CZ for hosting the files on his site. We have indeed been partners-in-crime since the old days at M3.
Gonna download and flash 5.5.1-EDEM-27-SEARET_cfc.xml.zip on an AT&T Atrix 2 and see AT&T's restrictions will be gone happily.
WARNING!!!!!
Do not flash the Indian fxz to your phone, even just the system .img! If you flash the whole fxz then it will fail. If you flash the system .img you will get the infamous "Invalid CG Version" error, and you might get it to boot if you flash the boot .img but the phone does not accept the Indian boot.

Thanks for warning, finally I understand that only ATT firmwares are suitable for flashing the whole packet, right?
Atrix 2 is not like Milestone, MS can be flashed any carrier without problems (some FW may improve radio signal)
help please!!!
I have the US version of the Atrix 2, and I tried to flash it with the Indian firmware in RSD Lite. But I got flashing failed error in step 7 of the flashing process. So I tried to flash it with the Original ATT firmware, but it fails in step 3 for the ATT firmware. Please help man, I love this phone

So it all makes sense now, only those phone which are sold in INDIA is supported by that FXZ, since I cannot flash the US FXZ on my Indian Phone, it just does not support!
So I guess, the only way to go ahead with building a ROM from this FXZ is to have a Indian Build phone ...(LOL I sound like racist... ) Then restore the ROM later on US phones!

I believe ASIAOPS is for some particular Asian Operator in some country, I am not sure though. MEARET is Middle East Retail, SEARET is South East Asia Retail.... Initially just guessed this SEARET thing and then matched with my ROM backup.

Hey man, try one given at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1539167 I guess this one is simplest method. I once screwed my Indian version and used this and I was up and running in no time whereas flashing through RSD Lite didn't work for me.

Not entirely true. I have been insisting on this in every thread here that AT&T stock works on Indian version BUT if you try and flash 2.3.6 with RSD Lite it fails. I have an Indian version but if you try 2.3.5, particularly from forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1539167 it flashes and works flawlessly, though with AT&T restrictions. I tried every method but this script thing was only method that worked for my Indian Atrix 2, I am not sure how, but it brought my phone to life and then I flashed 2.3.6 over it and it worked, even AT&T version...

We are getting official 4.1 (Rogers) Late December. Proof inside.

Why would you care? The same phone. No porting or whatever needed, it's directly flashable. Official Rogers release is better than official AT&T release. You need AT&T junk that any custom ROM removes anyway? I'm sure the ICS stuff will be compatible.
Are you kidding me? AT&T S3s won't get JB until 2028 -_-

It's still gonna be the same crappy TouchWiz filled update we got for ICS. I remember the ICS update - it made the phone worse and it was so laggy. Sure this update might make it a bit faster, but it'll still have TouchWiz and I don't see why anyone would ever go from CM10 to stock 4.1.

Not everyone feels the same way you do, and TW-based custom ICS flies for me. I much prefer it to anything CM has to offer.
The rom doesn't matter What matters is the Source Code! It will help fix cm10 issues like Accessing the sim contacts getting network service mode working and network selection 2g and turning off lte.
This is why I find this important

i dont know whay you mean, on my cm10, all those items are working for me, i can disable lte, use only 2g, and the sim contacts issue what do you mean by that, i can import them from sim card and/or sync with google, btw im on rogers modem with superlite cm10 which was built on oct 11 with no rr's or sod's, im guessing other cm10 builds should have same functionality and stability

its 100% based on cm10, built from their sources, my build is just a stripped down version of cm10, the users on my build have not mentioned any of those issues, i just tested it on my phone and i can disable lte by choosing "gsm/wcdma preferred" mode instead of using "lte/gsm/wcdma " mode in the mobile network settings and there is a seperate setting to enable to use 2g only. maybe its the radio you are using, im on rogers modem which is rat unlocked
edit: just reread ur post and seen that u r on rogers modem, then idk, maybe try my rom and see if it does what u want it to do
when i choose 2g only my signal shows as edge.
when im in an lte area if i choose "gsm/wcdma preferred" i get hspa signal "h+"and not 4g, 4g of course is lte for cm10
now if im "not" in an lte area and i choose "gsm/wcdma preferred" i get the 3g symbol, but if i choose "lte/gsm/wcdma " i get hspa "h+" symbol.
edit: using rogers lte apn btw, when "not" in lte area i might get 3g or h+ when having it set to lte

[Q] Extracting radio/modem from GB2.3.5

Hello, my wife and I both have SGH-I727 (ATT)..they are both unlocked. I use ATT she uses Straight Talk wireless. I have GB 2.3.5 (UCKJ2), she has ICS.
The radio/modem/gps on ICS sucks. In GB is just fantastic. I want to extract the radio from my device, then either CWM apply it from a zip file to her or via ODIN.
How can I do this?
I did find the ATT UCKJ2 modem/radio which on some forum which I was able to apply to her phone via CWM, but the code was apparently locked to ATT and therefore Straight Talk Wireless did not work.
I would therefore like to try to extract it from my phone and apply it to hers.
I have searched and searched but have not found a way to do this. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
THanks!
Have you checked if the apn is the same for the phone that works and the one that doesn't? You may have to manually input the apn.

jd...thanks for the reply...after I flashed the UCKJ2 ATT radio from a thread I found here, I did not check the APN settings. Maybe I did not make it very clear but my ATT SGH-I727 (GB 2.3.5) was not used at all to flashed the Straight Talk (ST) one (ICS). That is what I am trying to do. However,
if you are saying that flashing a new radio may change the target phone APN settings, understood. I can try to flash again (I restored everything back from a CWM backup I had taken before the flashing) and then check the APN settings after the flash to make sure they are still there and correct.

jd...thanks for the reply...after I flashed the UCKJ2 ATT radio from a thread I found here, I did not check the APN settings. Maybe I did not make it very clear but my ATT SGH-I727 (GB 2.3.5) was not used at all to flashed the Straight Talk (ST) one (ICS). That is what I am trying to do. However,
if you are saying that flashing a new radio may change the target phone APN settings, understood. I can try to flash again (I restored everything back from a CWM backup I had taken before the flashing) and then check the APN settings after the flash to make sure they are still there and correct.
thanks!

I wasn't very clear either. Flash the radio you want to try but then make sure the apn matches the carrier you want to be on.

Hi jd,..I checked the APN settings after flashing the UCKJ2 radio on found on XDA and as I suspected when I hit APN, it told me NO SIM INSERTED error message. That tells me that the radio I flashed was indeed locked to AT&T. So, again here is what I am trying to do
Device 1 Device 2
SGH-I727 Unlocked SGH-I727 Unlocked
Rooted Rooted
CWM Installed CWM Installed
Carrier ATT Carrier Straight Talk Wireless
GB 2.3.5 UCKJ2 ICS 4.0.4 UCLF6
GPS/Rario Perfect GPS/Radio crappy
I want to extract just the radio/modem from Device 1, put it on a zip file and flash it onto device #2.
How can I do that?
Thanks!

Hello xcrazydx,
Would you mind pointing me to them? I have been searching and I did found one UCKJ2 radio as I mentioned but it was locked to AT&T. Are the radios that you re referring to unlocked?
If you can help me locate them I will appreciate it!..
thanks!!

I may be wrong, but I don't believe any of the radios are locked to att. It's the phone that is locked. If you got a no sim error it was probably a bad radio flash. If you look for vincoms one stop sticky in the development forum you'll find links to all sorts of radios.

[Q] No SIM or wifi after factory reset

Hi,
Yesterday, I had an update from 4.1.1. to 4.1.2. I'm running the stock rom. After I ran in the update, I re-rooted using CF-Auto Root.
Today, I thought I'd do a factory reset. Now, my phone won't detect any SIM card (I've tried 2) and although it seems to detect my wifi, it won't connect.
I had the phone on airplane mode when I selected the factory reset, but I wouldn't have thought that would matter.
Interestingly, I can now select airplane mode to turn on, but it then ghosts out and I can't turn it off.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 2. Please help!
I'm inclined to think this is a software problem as both sim and wifi worked perfectly before the factory reset.
I've tried registering with SamMobile to download the stock rom, but their registration page seems to be wonky. It complains I haven't completed the anti-spam task, but this area of the form is just blank.
yep.. thats a loophole in google... try doing it again... this time with cwm.. if that doesnt work.. u have to get the stock rom via odin

Do you mean this is a known problem then?
I've tried a few more resets with airplane mode on and off and nothings worked.
I don't have cwm at the moment although I could flash that. Where could I get the stock rom from though, besides SamMobile?
Thanks

I just flashed the exact modem I had before, and my baseband, imei etc. are all coming up unknown.
When I enter *#1234#, my cp number is also unknown.
Do roms also include modems? I was once told they didn't. Sorry, I've never flashed anything before besides when I was getting root access

Thanks for all the replies.
One further question, then I'll go hunting ....
I have the GT-N7105T. I know the T variant has different radios. Some people say you can use N7105 roms and some people say no.
Can I safely use an N7105 rom on my N7105T? The phone is pretty useless at the moment but I'd rather not brick it.
Thanks

experimenting is good on android.. but i'd rather suggest u to get rom for YOUR MODEL only... if its not available at all.. then u could go for the second option...

There's your problem!
The difference between the regular Galaxy model and the T variant is the modem. Telstra 'tweak' it on a hardware level for their NextG network and it means that the performance of the modem is affected to varying degrees (severe in your case) if you use a non 'T' modem.
There should be a modems thread, there should be a N7105T modem. I'll have a look and post back if I find one.

BOOM!
TDVDMB1 (Australia / Telstra) N7105TDVDMB2
TDVALK4 (Australia / Telstra) N7105TDVALK3
Either of these should work, keep them to flash after you reflash a rom onto your phone
good for u.. u got an australian to help u out..

I've tried flashing the modem but unfortunately it had no effect.
I don't have the phone on me so I can't confirm this, but I'm starting to have scary thoughts about the efs. Unfortunately the only changes I've ever made to my Androids was just to root, and I didn't even know what the efs was.
Thing is, after my update my phone worked fine for over 24 hours before I reset it. Does this sound like the efs? How can I tell if that's the problem?
I guess I had to learn somehow, and I've definitely learnt ...
Would it be possible for me to get a copy of an efs folder from another Note 2 and adapt it to mine?
For anyone else who may come across this, I solved the problem by downloading the stock ROM from sammobile and flashing that.
I have also now flashed TWRP and have taken a nandroid including the EFS.
We all have to start somewhere, but hopefully my bad experience will prevent someone else's.

[Q] How to update baseband/radio/modem

Hi everyone,
My verizon galaxy s3 right now has a baseband of I535VRLHE.
First I was wondering which baseband is most recent, I have heard of MB1, MF1, etc. I know where to get these software updates but I have not found out how to actually update the baseband. Right now, I am jumping between many roms but as of this moment I am on an unofficial cm 10.1 build. They suggest getting on MF1 modem, but I really have no idea how do it.
Thanks for the help,
PS: I looked for quite a while so please don't tell me to keep looking or something like that.

Do I need to wipe anything for flashing it? Also, its ok to flash baseband updates with a custom rom installed?
And these will make my radios stronger, and thus my signal stronger?\
Thanks

no
yes
theres really no answer to pt3
What modem do you guys suggest flashing to. Right now I am on I535VRLHE and by my understanding that is extremely outdated. So just to make sure again no wiping anything, no formatting, no anything? And I should be flashing an update in either twrp or cwm? I know these questions sound stupid when I said I flash roms daily, but I really do not want to risk bricking my beloved s3 hahaha.
Thanks for taking your time to help me.
from what i understand the modem that works best for you will depend mostly on location. they might get better as they update, but i get teh same signal on the latest as I did on a modem from a few updates ago.
you can download the all in one packages here
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/34053-firmware-vrbmf1-modemrpmtzsbl-verizon-sgs3-sch-i535/
reboot into recovery, then flash, reboot back to the ROM. if youre worried, make a backup. things can always go wrong i guess.
Ok thank you again, another question haha sorry. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1788313&page=6 In this thread, the first few pages say to flash via odin and what not none of them confirm being able to flash through recovery. Have you ever flashed a radio through recovery?
Also what advantages does an AIO have compared to just the modem.

You need to do a Google search for "i9300 xda" because we can not help you in the SCH-I535 forums.
