HELP...!!!
Well, first timer to Custom ROM upgrades....I was looking through some threads, came across a particular ROM, found it very interesting..went ahead & flashed it...didnt work.
Reason: My Peanut brain failed to check the version of the Note2 it was meant for. My bad.
I didnt backup EFS. (my bad again, actualy i didnt knew I had to )
It override my existing Modem & took my Baseband & IMEI to unknown.
I look through whole night trying to undo what I did on XDA forum...did get quite some helpful links but nothing could solve mine.
The most common advise on the forum was to take it to the Samsung service centres & let them put the stock officla firmware.
Well, I took it to the service this morning, they put the stock 4.1.2 version..i was hoping that would solve my query.
To my dismay, the service guy told me that the Phone was showing as Unknown (screen shot 1) & that in that case the IMEI cannot be resolved.
One option he gave me was to pay up 8k (about 134 USD) to change the motherboard but honestly i dont have that much
Please advise....Is there any way i can resolve this.
I am on an Indian carrier GT-N7100
If u have nandroid backup of your stock rom then restore it..i think then your problem is solved ..
If thats not work then install galaxy toolbox app from play store and restore your imei..but i dont know that this app is work or not for n7100.

No backup...(learning the hard way here :crying
Is Phone:Unknown (screen shot 1) problem falling in the same category as IMEI & baseband unknown?
The service guy told me that in such a case as in phone Unknown, the IMEI cannot be resolved.(is that true?)
Every thread I look, there's only post on IMEI + baseband unknown or null, but nothing on Phone:Unknown.

I have an SGS that won't connect to my service provider network. It doesn't show the imei number when I dial *#06# and when you type in in *#1234# it shows the following details
PDA - i9000xwjs3
csc - i9000xfvjs1
Phone - Unknown
I have tried flashing it and installing new ROMS but the problem persists.
Right now I am using MIUI ROM.
Any Solutions?
You need to flash another base trough odin... try gingerbread jvp...or even better ..CM7

This sounds really dumb but where do you I find these bases, so far the only popular one is ezbase which is what I have already used.

This loss of imei is well known with miui, go over to their thread to find solution, to get onto miui you must have gone via cm7 surely
Insanity cm017/glitch v10c
I will go through the thread, thanks for the advise, also noticed in the efs/imei folder the only file in there is the bt.txt which has the mac address of the phone.

If you have EFS backup, then you can restore it else samsung is only option
I don't have any EFS backup... the worst thing about it is that I read something about EFS backup 2h ago :'(
EDIT : Trying to restore an early backup on KPH... last hope.
EDIT 2 : Bootloop :'(

Is possible if anyone lost his efs another person with it working fine can share it so the people who lost it can try with the upload of the other one?
I don't know if you understand me, but is it possible?

No it is not possible every device has its own efs

Hi guys!
I'm a little new to all this Android stuff and tried to learn how to fix my phone but I've been reading around in circles now for two days and still can't make heads or tails out of it.
I've got a LG P920 Optimus 3D that has stopped working.
Now what happened is it froze like a it had before and didn't want to shut down when I held the power button so I took out the battery. When I turned it back on it got stuck at the LG logo right after the LG sound played.
I tried some sort of LG update but that didn't work then I tried a couple of things I found on different forums something to do with the LGflasing tool or something witch also didn't work (or at least I don't know what I'm doing) and at the end I was able to hold some vol+3d+power and got a recovery menu and wiped everything I could find.
Now the phone turns on fine and everything works except for the phone part. I don't get asked for a PIN and it just says "no network" with any SIM card.
Here's the data from my phone:
Country of purchise: Slovenia
Android v: 2.2.2
baseband v: L6260_modem_sic_01.1042.00
Kernel: 2.6.25.7
SW v: LGP920-V10K-SEP-17-2011
Can someone pleas help me and explain what I'd have to do to get this thing working again because currently I'm out of ideas and I have no idea where to start.
Can I do something on the phone to make it work or do I need to flash something and if so what and how. I'm really lost here and can't seem to make heads or tails out of all this.
Thank you for your help, patience and I apologize in advance for my lack of knowledge in this area.

I punched in *#06# and it just outputs IMEI and blank. I'm guessing there should be a number outputted. What would this mean?
You wont connect to network till you get IMEI back. This is baseband problem. Check your PM i will send you instructions what to flash and how to restore IMEI.

Yes success!
I was able to use the method in the link above to put a newer rom on the device and it seems to be working fine.
Thank you very much guys. This is all very new to me. I hope it doesn't crash again since I was scared that I lost all of my contacts but thankfully I had a backup.
Best regards
having the same issues
Please help. can you send me the instructions also iodak to this issue.
Here you go. Works 100%. And you will get the new gingerbread baseband.

Think you could send them to me as well? I too deleted the IMEI and the process found here dont work, the sofware tutty doesnt respond and cant flash with KDZ because the sofware fails, thanks in advance

You cant write IMEI with hyper terminal until your IMEI is that strange number. If you cant get it that way with smartflash tool (erase CP). Flash lg prada baseband that will do same thing. After that flash 21e baseband and restore imei with hyperterminal.
Edit: check if you got drivers instaled.

Help im from the philippines and i was unable to load my simcard on galaxy tab 7.0 plus came from taiwan is there any way to fix this..i was always in airplaine mode
Sent from my GT-I9300
Your baseband is unknown.. hmmm you should try restocking your tab that should reinstall ur modem. It might fix it. But before that check and see if ur tab still has an IMEI number.

A few months back my s2 fell in water and apparently I didn't let it dry enough before powering it own. When I did it came in and everything worked except reading the sim. And of course it had no imei number and no baseband. I had a friend check the hardware out after I tried to flash it back to stock and tried flashing the imei back with one of those boxes like the z3x I think that's its name. But it turned out there is a chip on the board that holds this information that got fried. But everything else worked fine. But I could forget using a sum on it again. So my guess was maybe that same chip on ur board might be the issue if u tried flashing back to stock and it didn't work. Or u could have that random efs corruption problem. But seeing as flashing a stock rom won't kill no one I would suggest u go back to stock and see what happens. And btw did u check and ssee if u sill have an imei number? And yeah u check by dialing *#06#

And about the imei number there are a lot of things associated with imei. For one its like ur devices ID there are some apps that are linked to imei like viber and things like that if I'm not mistaken. Without imei its like ur device has no identity. Its sorta how ur carrier recognizes ur device. So if u have no imei u have no phone. Or any telephony u have a tab with working wifi, Bluetooth and u can do almost anything but no mobile data and no calls. But lets hope that's not ur issue. Good luck man.

Nice to see you got through it too! Immediately after i rooted, i flashed cm10. Its an AOSP rom. I definitely recommend it because its not (in my opinion) ugly like touchwiz, and its tons faster, and has great little extras that make it easier to use! Hope you consider it! Make sure you flash the right one for your phone, and carrier, etc. Good luck!

Back up your IMEI if you have not already done so. It'd save you a lot of potential headache down the road.
