[Q]

Hi everybody,
I have been following XDA for years now and have always been able to find answers to my questions here regarding flashing for a HTC Desire, Galaxy SII or my current Galaxy S4 I9505, rooted running a 4.3 GPE rom. Baseband is XXUDMB. Recovery is CWM 6.0.4.4.
After following the thread GOOGLE EDITION 4.4.2 by Danvdh, Kryten2k35 & Ktoonsez I decided to flash. Love this rom, it's superfast!!! One thing didn't work for me: the phone kept losing connection with my Dutch mobile carrier Vodafone (no data, phone calls not possible), especially after locking the screen. To my understanding the rom does not ship with LTE of GSM modems, so it should not be the problem that a 4.4 LTE modem causes sound, data or WiFi problems when on the "old" bootloader (pre KNOX). After flashing the baseband still shows XXUDMB.
I tried *#*#4636#*#* and setting network type to GSM. However, the menu is not the same as my current 4.3 and the option LTE/GSM auto (PRL) is not available.
Reverted back to my 4.3 rom for now, but really hope somebody knows how to solve the issue.

Hmm ... and you are sure it's unlocked?
After flashing a stock ROM, it may be locked again.
Ok, if it's unlocked, please check this All-in-One thread for your device first.
There you will find links to modem/radio threads.
What you described is usually caused by a locked phone or a "bad" modem/radio.
So flashing another modem may help ... if the phone is unlocked.
And if you have further questions about this device, you can ask in the general help thread.
EDIT:
Just in case you are not sure if it's unlocked, check this thread about how to unlock your device.

[Q] Mobile Network Not Available after ROM Failure - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S3

I would appreciate a little help with my Sprint Samsung Galaxy Phone:
Detail:
I have been trying to load ROMs on my Phone for 2 months. I had success with rooting the phone via OneClick several months ago. Yesterday I tried for the 50th time to load to ROMs to no avail (Status 6 & 7 errors. The beta CM tool never worked for me as well Mac and Win)). I recovered back from Nandroid back up and begin to see the com.google.playservices error on a constant bases as well as no network signal. I flashed back to factory settings and completed another restore of my Nandroid backup. This cleared the goggle errors. I continue to have problems with my network reception (WiFi Works Great). I actually called Sprint and was given the MSL Code to reset the phone. When I enter the code and press OK - nothing happens - its as if the OK button is locked.
Update to PRL, Profiles, and Firmware result in an error code of 407. Samsung Software is up to date. Flashing the radio did not work. I tried all of the Samsung code settings prior to calling Sprint as well.
Details:
- Model SPH-L710
- Android Version 4.4.2
- Baseband Unknown
- Kernel Version 3.4.0-1368792
- Build KOT49H.L710PUDND8
Status:
- Mobile Network Type is Unknown
- Service state is out of service
- Mobile state is disconnected
- Phone number unknown
- MEID, IMEI, ICCID, and PRL Version - all are unknown
I would appreciate any assistance as I have researched and read all material - please.
Thanks

your efs partition appears to be jacked up, that's what usually causes all of those "unknown"'s. it happens some times when flashing roms.
im guessing you didn't make an efs backup previously?
there may be a way to fix this, but sorry, other than restoring the efs data, i don't know how.

Help , IMEI 00000000 / 01

Hi! I think i messed up with my EFS folder so I'm asking Samsung Galaxy S2 Plus (I9105P) owners to give me their EFS folder. Orginally the phone was bought from Orange Romania, the stock rom is on the phone right know. I tried all methods with wipe,delete,mount efs,adb,etc.
Model : GT-I9105P
Android : 4.2.2
Baseband : I9105PXXUBMG8
IMEI : 000000000
Wi-Fi : show conectivity but internet doesen't work (on others devices wi-fi works)
Please, help me!

Maybe flash a latest stock Rom for your region

I flashed all ROMs possibles and impossibles the thing is with my 00000000000000 imei I can call for a short period of time then goes with no network. Please,if I can restore the EFS folder from another S2 Plus (I9105P) device..

[Completed] Have signal but not registered on network

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.
