[Q] Baseband version unkown, IMEI unknown

I have an infuse locked with Rogers. Before unknown baseband version IMEI, I even did not root my phone. Have tried several ways which are found here for more than one month: Root, Flash rom, efs.rfs, modem, kernel. Problem still not solved.
Anyone can help me figure it out?
Thanks in advance.

Flash another modem... problem solved...done... your welcome...
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda premium

Finally I intalled CWM to flash different modem. I got baseband and IMEI back at the first time I flash modem UCLB3. But at that time I did not have my SIM card inserted. Then I powered off my phone and put SIM card in, powered on. I got unkown baseband and IMEI again.
I tried to redo all the job I have done on my phone again.
1. Odin flash Stock rooted packages UXKG3:
Odin_UXKG3_rooted_no_bootloaders_v2.zip
2. Odin flash :Odin_Infused_Gingerbread_Kernel_v1.zip to get CWM
3. CWM flash different modem files.
Still no luck.
Any suggestions?

Try to flash different modem. It only comes back at the first time after flashing.
Since when I re-insert SIM card, I will lose the baseband vesion and IMEI number again.
I also flashed "[ROM][UCKL2][2.3.6]ALL HAIL *Z*E*U*S*The Collective[3/5/12]". The same problem occurred.
I guess something wrong with hardware in the SIM card area. But not 100% to comfirm this problem.
I got stuck at this point. Anyone can give more clues?
Thanks.

Try gtg's back to stock.... Works for me....

Well, I don't know about that one. I was answering the op with a Verizon s3. I would have guessed it would work for you too, but looks like it doesn't
Sent from my SGS3 running Eclipse 2.1

I had that same problem when that happened to me months ago. My solution was to wipe and install the stock rom that was shipped with the phone before it would let me connect. Later versions of the stock rom do not work. If this works for you, please post it in that thread that it worked. Apparently I can't post in the Android Development section yet...

Yeah this was 4 months prior to the links you posted. At that time it was still a week old phone and was an unkown problem.

If you have lost your IMEI/ERI you a few ways you can try to get it back.
1) You can use Odin to go all the way back to ICS and then reprovision your phone. Once you're on stock ICS type *2767*3855# in your dialer. Go to part five of this guide.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28530394&postcount=1
Once you have service back you then use casual to root,unlock and flash custom recovery. Then before you flash any roms to go Synergy thread and download the HW backup zip to make a backup of your IMEI/ERI and put that folder away for safe keeping..ie hdd, drobpox,etc.
2) I was able to get mine back without using Odin with this method.

I, too had to restore my imei using this method. So much easier to backup in case you lose it and super easy to flash the zip file in custom recovery.

[Q] Soft bricked? Qualcomm radio is messed up

First off Im new here. Well I haven't posted on xda before, but I've spent enough time reading.... anyway, have an vzsgs3 cwmr bootldr unlocked flashed taste of beans... then wiped flashed slimrom and then nandroid'D stock over that.got the wonderful nonvzw triangle of death.... after that I flashed stock root66 via Odin. Lost my imei in that whole process. Didn't have it backed up either.went through pretty much every post that related to the sgs 3 and imei.Now I have a 4g ONLY device.I also found out that you cannot make or receive calls on 4g and the tower negotiation/propagation takes place over the cdma network. If I restart my phone every time I move to a different tower I can use it on 4g to surf the web. No call or texts ever. If I leave the range of a tower, I get a /0 slash zero for reception. Reboot and 4g is back.This is strictly 4g ONLY.it will not and cannot connect to the mobile network .try to dial out, error: mobile network not available. Factory reset several times. Phone is back to oob stock. I would be tempted to say there is something mucked up in the nv rf items. By flashing and resetting, it would set everything back to stock except the radio FW. Switched Sims with a working one... same. Imei is fixed, about status shows it correct as well as the correct phone number and everything else. Where should I go from here.? Let me know what info u need and ill post it.thx!

Nobody? I can't use my phone, somebody has to know somthing bout it? I've spent hours googleing and searching the forums... no luck, it would be helpful if somebody could post something that might lead me in the right direction... ANY help is greatly appreciated!

No one is gonna reply because you suck at writing stuff out and cant understand what you are saying.
As for your phone, the imei has been restored but the phone is still borked? Did you odin back to stock after all those issues? That would have reflashed your modem. Did you check the md5 on the crap you flashed too?

I would odin back to stock if that doesn't work. Try to instal one of these basebands from the link. I'm pretty sure flashing stock with odin does thatthough. I'm a noob but that is my best guess. Good luck.

There is a tool on here that you can fix your IMEI with, if you haven't already. I would try to reprovision the SIM if you have done everything else.

need help, flashed miui lost data

Hey guys I am in a bit of a bind. I flashed miui with cwm and now it says roaming. I went to another tw Rom still roaming... I tried the imie tool says it's fine!! Double checked with the sticker under battery. I been trying to dl a stock Rom but it's file server is way to slow I can't stay in WiFi for 5 hours wifey is upset. I have her phone it's stock but I can't find a way to back it up without rooting it?
First question, what did the Rom do to my phone?
Second question, how do I fix it?
Thanks for reading this I hope you guys can help a n00b
P.S I was going to flash the stock Rom with Odin I have that setup but no Rom. Ideas?

Your ERI might be wrong and say you're roaming when you're not. I thought that tool had an ERI fixer also. If it doesn't, try this:
Back up everything you want that is on your internal storage, put it on an external SD or your computer. Then dial *2767*3855# on stock touchwiz. It will wipe your phone and reprovision it. Should fix the roaming issue.

It reprovisioned your phone and you're still roaming?

Try running the ERI repair tool in the linked thread. You need to be running the LF2 modem. If you arent, you can download it from the second link. You can flash .zip modems in recovery, or .md5 modems in Odin.

[Q] [Help] Skyrocket go down!

hi everyone. I need some help here with my At&t Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket. I had my phone unlocked and work on T-mobile GSM fine but I only got EDGE for data. I then flash it with with a T-mobile radio according to the instruction here at XDA forrum to try to get 3G/4G. after flashing the radio the baseband in the phone showed "unknown" and I lost both GSM and EDGE. the phone even didn't recognize my SIM card,I don't know If I did something wrong.
Here How I did
1. I flash CWM 5.8.x
2 I update to CWM 14.x.x touch version
3. Root the phone with SuperSU busy box
4. Flashing tmo_SGH-T989_VK1.zip radio
5. No signal.
It seem to be the radio I tried to flash didn't go in correctly. BTW I still keep the stock ROM form At&T (ICS 4.0.4)
Any one have experienced the same problem like me ?
Thank you very much for helping me out.

Just so I'm clear, you flashed a T-Mobile Only Radio on an A T&T Sim card? Check your APN too.

I flashed T-mobile radio on AT&T phone not SIM card. I lost my original AT&T Radio and new T-mobile radio didn't go in, now the phone doesn't read my T-mobile SIM card. I cannot access mobile network to check APNs without a valid SIM card since the phone doesn't see it.

the phone function was perfectly fine before I flash the radio. of course, no 3G/4G connection on T-mobile

the problem is after flashing custom radio, I have no radio at all. the phone is now a tablet

Did u make a backup? Did u try flashing a new radio? Try odin mabie and go back to stock and try again.

thank you for you suggestion.
I finally understand the problem the phone simply doesn't accept the radio. I flashed the new radio and turn out the original radio was removed and new one didn't go in. when i flashed a full stock ROM the original radio came back. may be the ROM and radio have to be compiled together.

Uh no you have to flash the modem before the ROM to get a good flash from what I've seen. Also I think almost every radio exempting maybe gingerbread radios as I haven't tested them should work on every ROM exempting maybe tw based.

The Rom or radio can be flashed in any sequence. The order they are flashed in has no effect.

Fixed that for you. You forgot to mention that you have to hold your breath while you wipe dalvik 3 times, cache 6 times, factory reset 2 times, perform a backup and then flash a kernel from a different device.
