I`ve got an LG MyTouch Q (C800) which was network locked to T-Mobile, i`ve flashed the latest nightly CM9 (doing everything by the instructions), and now the phone can`t connect to any mobile networks. Looking for a solution i`ve found that you can flash a stock baseband to solve this, but everytime i flash this stock baseband image through CWM recovery nothing changes - no network connections and baseband still shows "unknown". IMEI is the same as on stock ROM.
Removing the sim card doesn`t bring "emergency call" option and there is no "no sim card" sign in the tray, and the phone acts like it has a sim card in it when trying to connect to a mobile network it says that "Unable to connect to this network at this time. Please try again later".
Flashing back to stock ROM solves the problem - i have a baseband number and emergency call works but the biggest problem still exists - it`s network locked.
So the question is:
Am I flashing correctly this stock baseband through CWM recovery or I am doing everything wrong?
P.S.
I can`t post in the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1752704 and instructions on stock baseband flashing were sketchy at best.
No one knows? Please guys\gals help, it`s driving me nuts that I can`t figure it out how to flash this baseband.

Good Morning,
After flashing the Gingerbread Baseband I no longer am able to register on the network for my provider.
The device is from Rogers but unlocked and being used on the Bell network.
After flashing I realized there may be a different baseband for me to use in Canada (just North of Toronto).
I require some help in locating a Gingerbread baseband that would work or provide me with instructions on how to return to the original baseband.
Any help is appreciated!
Thank you kindly,

Did you set the APN manually? You have to do that.
Hello!
APN in Menu|Settings|Wireless & Networks|Mobile Networks|Access Point Names ?
I have set that to: pda.bell.ca
Is there other steps required though?
Thank you for the response!
apn settings is for internet. phone must tower of sim. may be flashing baseband again will soveit because i am tower getting for my country
If you're wanting to go back to stock froyo first you need to visit here to get your original rom... these will also flash the baseband back too
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1246678
or here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1155874
then you will need to follow this turtorial in order to flash the stock rom back on (go down to second post that one is in English )
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1244490
Although it is a possibility that the BB hasn't flashed correctly, might be worth trying it again... might also be worth trying a froyo rom to see if you get a signal then, because if you do you still have the froyo baseband on...

Thanks adixtra i always forget about the tutorial of yours
You can flash a .Bin File for Your P920 or P920H.
Ok, now this is getting bizarre hah.
I reflashed the baseband again and everything went normal as it did before.
This time I searched for networks and selected my provider. After about 5 minutes of the device trying to register on the network an error was received that said it was unable to register on this network.
However, when I got to my home screen I was registered on the network. I tested a voice call and it worked. I have tested data as well.
BUT! This is where it gets even more bizarre...The device cycles from 4 signal bars to 2 signal bars to none to 3G (from H) followed by not being registered on the network. Then a few minutes later (sometimes only after a reboot) it returns to 4 bars and begins the cycle again.
Has anyone seen anything like this before?
Thank you again for your help!

Good Evening,
Would you be able to upload the KDZ file from your update?
I am having problems with the LG Phone Recovery indicating that I have the most up to date software and halting the recovery process.
Thank you!
- Audi2Audi
Hello,
I flashed an earlier KDZ which allowed me to use the LG Update tool to restore my stock rom.
Thank you everyone for your help and advice.
- Audi2Audi.
it will tell you that but if you use recovery mode and it will download the file then you will have to unplug the phone from usb hold vol+ power then plug it back into the usb and it should download. like i said i used similiar method to flashing baseband
On my windows 7 not detect omap 4 and i can't flash baseband,what can i do?
Hey! Running Darkyrom v10.4 and flashed a different modem. 1st one worked but was slow, 2nd one did not work and now I have no service. I went into mobile networks and can't do anything, message saying insert sim card. Is my sim bad from flashing or is there another way to change the apn settings? Thanks, kurt
does it show anything under baseband
After installing a custom ROM on my galaxy s6 it would no longer recognize my SIM card. I did wipe every option in TWRP recovery before flashing the ROM which might have something to do with the issue. The phone states "No SIM Card - No Service" in the top left of the lock screen, it also wont let me call any numbers to edit things in the phone. I have done some research and it sounds like I have wiped the sim and lost the IMEI/EFS data and therefore no longer have access to my sim. I was wondering if there was any possible fix or should I just send it off to Samsung to get repaired?
Did you back up the EFS partition, and put it somewhere safe? If not, you have a paperweight.
Repair won't be covered under warranty.

Unfortunately I didn't back up the EFS partition. Situation is looking bad. :l
Try dialnig *#06# and see does it shows IMEI and sn, alo try *#0011# select stack 1 and check whether IMEI is OK, or NG.
Also what does it say in phone settings under baseband? Do you have mobile networks menu in settings?
You can try Smart Switch emergency initialization with sn of the phone if IMEI is ok (it will install latest stock fw for your phone) and see if that helps.
When I typed in "*#06#" The SN number was shown however the IMEI number was not. When I typed in "*#0011#" There was nothing but blank spaces separated by grey lines, I tried selecting row 1 however nothing happened. My base band version is "Unknown" listed under settings. I do however have the network settings listed in settings. In Smart Switch when I try to run the device initialization it states that my s6 "doesn't support initialising". I have flashed three different downloads of the stock rom to my phone using ODIN and have had no luck with any of them.
well Smart Switch always says that S6 is not supported, but initialization can be done anyway, just dont connect the phone until it asks you to do so, instructions below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/help/how-to-smart-switch-emergency-t3383448
What is your model anyway, do you know which region fw was originaly on the phone, and which sv rev is shown in the download mode?
does in recovery mode says anything about DRK?
Unfortunately Smart Switch says that "'SM-G920F' does not support initialing. Please contact out service center." Even when I have entered the correct S/N and device model, as well as not plugging in the phone. My device model is the SM-G920F. I don't know the original region FW that was originally on the phone, however it was purchased in the UK and that is where I am have been ever since I bought the phone. The SWREV is: "B:3 K:2 S:2" in download mode. I currently have TWRP recovery installed so is there a place for me to search for the DRK in TWRP? Or should I re-flash the stock recovery using Odin?
that is weird, I reinitialized my g920f many times without any issue. DRK error is usually shown in stock recovery. does the phone boots up with stock fw, and are you using any custom kernel?
i got the same problem when I flashed xtrolite and alexis custom ROM on my S6, both ROM after flashing I got no service.
But I did a full stock backup in TWRP.
baseband unknown means that there is a problem with modem part of fw. and I dont know what fw you flashed. you said that you tried to flash stock, but it doesn`t work, but a little more details would maybe make a difference, like which fw, and what exactly is happening, what does about the phone menu says.
So far, since baseband is unknown I would try to flash modem fw with odin (for exact fw that is in the phone). before that usb settings should be set to CP, by dialing *#0808#
or if you decide tu run custom fw, you can always try asking in that rom thread, maybe someone already had issues like that with that rom and fixed them, or the developer of that rom can help fix it.
Boot your s6 to download and flash stock rom via odin from samsung it maybe work
I have Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300. When the google drive app was downloading from google play, my phone went off due to poor battery. Later when I tried to turn it ON, it has been getting stuck in the boot. So I decided to reinstall my custom ROM. Being busy with my baby, toddler, household chores and job, I gave it to my brother to flash the ROM. After a while, I noticed that my sim was bricked.
It says "Emergency Calls Only", has fake IMEI but working signal.
We did not backup the efs. I tried searching all the methods like modem installation, CSC, baseband verions, IMEI re-write, Kies Upgrade and Initialization, other people's efs restore, etc. But the problem is unchanged. Some of the followed method might have failed for not having proper knowledge like IMEI re-write tool works on specified chipset, etc.
What we noticed is that using different baseband version toggles from having network signal or no signal.
Kies shows more than four firmware versions and no other details like CSC, etc.
How do I clean up all these especially to have SIM working on my phone?
I appreciate you assistance to be brief and clear to understand steps than sending links. Because my time is stress-fully short.
Hi !
There is some confusing info in your post
What do you mean with it has fake IMEI " ? Have you changed it ?
You say that you have a working SIM on certain basebands , is this happening on a custom rom or stock ?
Have you tried to flash a stock firmware as I see that you tried to flash "your custom rom " ?
Cheers !
First of all, thank you for your response and interest to assist.
My mobile's IMEI is shown as 004999010640000 which is not original. Can you help me to change it to correct IMEI suitable for my Samsung S3 GT-i9300 chipset, if that helps in enabling sim to connect to a network? I think changing method only masks the IMEI?
I have tried flashing stock firmware and also Kies Upgrade and Initialization.
I have also changed baseband version installation on stock ROM too. I don't know which baseband is correct to keep.. for my country India or in the country where my mobile is manufactured, incase that's locking sim accessibility? Some baseband bought signal and detected the network operator name, but the message still says "Emergency Calls Only" and is unable to connect to a network.
I presume this problem arose when installing custom ROM from TWRP recovery and it messed up with efs partition?
I had successfully flashed custom ROM many times before without this problem. I think there's some next step to follow to bring back the working sim like I heard of installing modem. I did just try installing modem but same problem as my baseband is already bringing signal.
I had tested my phone from sim unlock app and found out that CSC is locked and it limited specified MCC and MNC numbers. Is this hindering connection to Indian mobile network? Or corrupt efs? Or missed to manually install something?
Bump.
I recently bought a used Samsung Galaxy S10 (SM-G973F).
At first glance the phone was in excelent shape. The SIM Card was connecting to the mobile network, and calls, internet connection, etc was OK.
But then, I found out that the phone had been rooted. Probably, by the seller. In pannic, I rushed to unroot flashing the stock Rom.
Here what I did:
1- Forgot to check my precisly CSC code and assumed ZTA (cause I'm from Brazil, and the phone is from carrier "Claro")
2- Downloaded the stock rom using Frija
3- Using Odin 3.14.1 flashed the device.
The previous rooted system was on Android 10 and One UI 2.5. With this new rom went to Android 11 and One UI 3.0.
The problem:
The phone recognizes the SIM Card. But it simply doesn't connect to the network. When I try to make a call it says: " not registered on network"
The phone DO recgonizes the SIM Card. On the SIM Card Manager shows my carrier name (Vivo) and my phone number. Also, the SIM app is showing on the app list.
Things I tried:
Rebooting the phone
Changin the SIM Slot
Testing the SIM on another device to ensure it was working
Checked if the IMEI wasn't missing/undefined. It is not, the IMEI appears to be untouched
Checked if the IMEI had been blacklisted. It's not.
Flashed SEVERAL different stock ROMS with different CSC (ZTO, ZTA, ZVV)
Try to manually select the network. This also throws an error saying "error while searching for network"
I'm really desperate and don't know what to do anymore.
No one have a clue either? :C

How to Fix 'Not Registered on Network' on Android
Here is how to fix 'Not Registered On Network' error on Android. Mostly error occurs on Samsung phones, but this solution works for all android phones.
www.android-recovery.net
Wow,
This is exactly like my S10 right now.
At first, all is good, the signal was great, all working well, except cant connect to samsung pass and samsung health because it was root.
then i brought to sellular shop service, to flash the phone.
Then, “not registered to network” happened. The signal ok, the phone able to read dual simcard, but “emergency call only” and if i try to search network manually, “error while searching for network”
And the sellular shop service have no idea how to fix after they reflashed and try to fix it for several days.
Have you found any solution to fix your pho?
pls advice…

So, were you able to find a solution for this problem? I also bought a Note 9 N960F/DS recently and found out it was actually a N960N model that was changed to N960F/DS. So I did exactly what you did, I flashed the original stock rom, N960N, but now phone will not connect to network. I also did hard reset, reflash other stock roms, nothing changed. Anybody with insight should please give us some pointers.
