Hi
My phone doesnt connect to my SIM card. the system works normalle. but i have no network (2g, 3g. wlan works). when checking my baseband version, it says "unknown" and i cant get into recovery mode
what happend there? its not rooted or anything....can this be fixed? i mean...everything else works normally
help would be very appreciated
Insert a different sim card. if that doesn't work you may have a faulty device, but let's not jump to any conclusions just yet. Check with you're network that you have, probably their towers are down.
If you have/will unlock the bootloader, you could try using a restore to stock to rewrite the baseband and see if that helps. Best to know what you're doing.
problem solved:
i hate the nexus´ recovery screen. whatever....got there, wiped cache (it said it couldnt mount cache ) => after reformating cache everything works fine=)

Suddenly my nexus shows this message: Emergency calls only.
and I can't call anybody and can't receive calls.
After the problem occurred I tried to reinstall the rom, tried to change rom, to change radio, kernel.
Tried to perform factory reset, tried to format the whole phone, including sd.
Tried to restore an old backup.
Nothing seems to be working...
I read somewhere that it might be something wrong with the efs folder or IMEI...
I really don't know how to fix this problem.
Someone can help me please?
Check your IMEI bellow battery and compare it with IMEI info in OS. If those two are different then it could be IMEI problem...
I have that problem, but fortunately my Nexus is still kicking...
this is happening to me too
i'm with mobilicity... left the city and the phone connected to Rogers roaming..
now i'm back, phone doesn't connect back to mobilicity... just gives me "emergency calls only"
tried flashing roms, radios, kernels, pull battery, checked imei... i'm stumped.
i swear the only thing i haven't tried is restoring to stock completely
flashed back to stock OTA

now i can connect to the damn mobilicity network...
So I installed clockwork and then installed an unlocked bootloader, after that I booted into recovery and installed cm 10 and gapps after I wiped data. Once that all finished I started the phone up I was already activated and stuff like that, but every time I would restart it would bring up a screen talking about activating my phone, and it never did anything just sat on that screen.
So I looked around and saw a post with someone having the same issue, and someone told them to wipe data and clear dalvik cache, so that's what I did. Once I started it back up, I had to go through the setup process again, this time it stopped and activated my phone, but it fails every time.
How could I fix this? I also tried installing cm10.1 and Liquid and neither of those would activate either.
If all else fails I will do http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1867253 but I'm afraid that won't work correctly either..
Had the same problem after flashing the Carbon rom. Try going in settings>More>Mobile Networks>Preferred Network Mode. Select CDMA / EvDo auto. Reboot.
Ah that fixed it! I didn't have to activate either, it just started working.
Oddly though I tried dialing *22890 and it failed to activate.
I do have another question though, when I reboot it still seems to come up with the activation screen. Any idea how I can stop that from happening?
Sometimes the phone will "reset" at random times. It does not reboot or show the logo or splash screen. It typically starts by the brightness going all the way up, then it just unmounts/remounts my sd card, reads internal and external storage, and will unmount then remount my sim card (I lose signal completely then get signal back). It does it for no reason sometimes a few times in a row. It's acting like I've reset it, but I am not doing anything at all to it.
I have unlocked it so I can use it on T Mobile. I've upgraded the android version to 2.3.6. It is not rooted.
Please help me fix this problem as I like the phone but this problem is really making me angry.
Help please! :victory:
You could try installing a custom ROM and see if that helps.

sounds like there could be some residual on your sdcard. back up your photos and docs.
do a complete reset and complete wipe a few times or odin or heimdall to complete gb stock and reset
unlocked or tmobile shouldn't be an issue. neither should root or no root
if you're trying to determine hardware or software function, complete stock is the best testing ground
i flashed the stock images but after reboot, i did not have any service. it said it was activating but after a while it gave an error. :crying:
Are you sure it's not a sim card issue? Use your simcard in another device and see if it works.. Also, use any other simcard on your device and see if you get a signal..
If you're out of luck, then perform a factory reset from the stock recovery and see whether it helps?
I tried several methods before.
First was flashing the modem to work with GSM cards on calls and messages, but no data. I tried getting the MSL somehow but that didn't work. I flashed next TWRP without knowing anything about wiping the cache after installing SuperSU. I had to download the stock firmware again, and it was working stable until it shut down again when I flashed the new modem. I'm not sure what's causing the problem.
Keep in mind that I have two J3 Emerges, the one I'm modding and another one that has a cracked screen which functions very well. And I don't wanna mod the second J3 because of reasons.
EDIT: I just found out that formatting data via TWRP just causes the phone to behave normally, until somehow its connected to something... USB wasnt connected, and I think it has to be because of the phone checking the status of itself, despite being 'custom'.
EDIT 2: Found out, that the phone goes on a boot loop whenever I connect to the internet. Obviously, something must be going on.
EDIT 3: Looks like configuring the network was the issue... DANG. Anyone know of a way to bypass this bootloop?
