Hello people,
I've got a problem:
I've bought a Newman N2. Unfortunately I've updated the stock rom - and now I've got no more detection of my Sim card.
It has Firmware Newman_N2_00.22 - IMEI is also correct.
My Sim card works in another handy correct.
I don't know what to do - I've searched already here, but it didn't help me what I found.
Could it be something with the EFS Filesystem? Can I restore it somehow whitouth flashing?
I can't install the CWM. Didn't work for me. The fastboot doesn't work for some reason
Thanks in advance for your help!
There was an info on the newman forums about you must flash the phone without sim.
What if you try it with wipe before flash, and reflash then?
Didn't read that unfortunately... What can I do now?
Try to install the 00.20 FW, but wipe data, and wipe cache before it. And ofc without the SIM.
After it you can isntall the 00.22 FW. It is the latest.
00.20 http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?shareid=188071&uk=1143976775
00.22 http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?shareid=190980&uk=1143976775
Any luck? I found something. To go back to the stock FW you need to flash it via Windows.
"Warning: People who have the first Version of the Firmware ( Date 2012.12.13 ), they should first update to second version ( Date 2012.12.15 ) and then they can update to the last version ( Date 2013.01.12). Because you can get some problems with SIM."
Unfortunately only 32bit drivers included.

I read this too, was because of me this topic
I sent it to a friend, who will flash it with his box.
Finally flashed it to the basic firmware.
Also tried several other firmwares, resetting IMEI - also different sim cards.
We guess the SIM Slot should be broken. Does anybody know if we can order just the SIM Module Slot? Or it would be just the whole mainboard?

See IMEI sim card phone is not registering. Imeili clone phones updated when the network is losing record. I think they do the installation again with Box
Hello all -
New to Android platform. Hope someone from this great forum can assist ... I'll try to be brief. First, my device:
Razr HD LTE xt925
FIDO
Android v.4.1.2
Had attempted a little while ago to unroot my phone, as I was curious about better customization options. For various reasons, I tried to 're-root' and go back to factory. Did that, upgraded from ICS Jellybean 4.1.2 (which is what my phone was on when purchased).
Now, when I boot the phone, I still get the message 'Bootloader is unlocked'. After upgrading from ICS to Jellybean, I saw a large number of Verizon specific apps. When booting the phone, instead of the Motorolla 'M' icon/splash, I get a 'Droid' icon, with sound-effects. Also, System Version shows as 9.16.XT926.Verizone.en.US (even though my phone is an XT925 on FIDO). I obviously fudged something up... !
Most importantly, ever since, my GPS is very spotty, and I cannot get on the FIDO LTE network. In Mobile Networks setting, I have to always have 'Global' selected as network. If I choose LTE/CDMA or GSM/UMTS, it can never find an available network.
I'm really just trying to get my phone back to the state is was when I purchased it.
Any ideas would be GREATLY appreciated!

Here's the JB file for Fido/Rogers:
http://sbf.droid-developers.org/van...12.2_CANADA_VANQJBLTEFRCI_P004_CFC_fb.xml.zip
Thanks very much for your reply. I did try flashing with the FIDO file you quoted, and my phone didn't take it. I booted to fastboot, current drivers, and the RSD Lite message I got was:
Failed flashing process. 1/21 flash partition "partition_signed" -> Phone returned FAIL
The corresponding message on my phone was: Failed flashing process. 1/21 flash partition "partition_signed" -> Phone returned FAIL
Hope someone has an idea on how to successfully get back to the FIDO Android v.4.1.2.
Thank you all!
Have you removed the Getvar lines? You can also try the Telcel rom with Fido modem/fsg files placed into it. (That's what I had before custom roms because Fido was slow with JB).
Yes, I did try when removing getvar line in the xml.
I stated erroneously the error on my phone after trying the intitial FIDO flash - the phone error in fact was:
downgraded security version
update gpt_main version failed
preflash validation failed for GPT
I appreciate the input. Any other thoughts on this? I regret trying to unroot the damned thing in the first place... !

From what I can see, those errors come when trying to downgrade to ICS through RSD but you are trying to install JB so that makes no sense. Since you are bootloader unlocked you can probably flash the files through fastboot?
no worries man...calm down...you'll be fine...i had the same issue..i'm actually using an xt925 as well; had the same issue a couple of days back...see the issue is the ROMs that you see for xt925/926 is actually the ROM for verizon, so when you flashed a custom ROM, it actually flashed your GSM radio to the version radio, which is CDMA; These are the steps you need to follow, and you're good to go, trust me:
1). After deleting the getvar line, delete 2 lines below it as well, so lines 12 and 13, then try flashing with this new xml file. really imp, this will take about 5-10 mins, then the phone will reboot, dont unplug the cable yet, it's gonna reboot, and ask to sync phone with SIM, do that....and you're good to go.
2). Root.
3). Install TWRP, preferably 2.5, then backup your stockROM.
4). I would recommend using Matt's utility for xt926, and you can perform all the steps in sequence.
note: Since you unlocked your bootloader, you will always get that warning message, it's normal.
lemme know if it works!
eomahos I am in your debt. Worked like a charm!
In step 4 you indicated using 'Matt's utility for xt926' ... I'm not familiar with the utility. Do I use this to install TWRP?
Thanks again man!
Hello dear ones, I'm lost and I need your help.
I've bought a used SM-g920f, knox x0. It worked flawlessly. Until the first evening when in the middle of a phone call the phone app crashed. After resetting the phone it was still unable to connect to network. I have noticed that baseband/IMEI were set to unknown and so it could not read my sim card.
First I have tried the obvious - upgrading from lollipop to marshmallow. It went easy but did not help. Neither did help resenting to factory settings.
I have rooted and installed twrp recovery adb and stuff.
After almost two days playing with it, I seem to be out of options.
What I tried:
Flashing Different roms - stock and non-stock. (G920FXXS3DPB2_G920FXEU3DPB1_G920FXXS3DPB3_HOME, G920FXXS3DPB2_G920FOXX3DPB2_G920FXXS3DPB3_HOME, Pure-Stock.ExtraLiteROM_XXU3DPCA.DEODEX-v5.5.by.ambasadi, XtreStoLite-ROM-3.0-Final-DPCA) - I do not know the country of origin of this device. (the back is from testing unit), is there some way to know correct original stock ROM ?
Flashing Different modems - (G920FXXS3DPB1_Modem_TWRP, G920FXXU3DPB6_Modem_TWRP, G920FXXU3ZPA1_Modem_TWRP)
Checked sim card in another phone/different card in this phone - if sim card would be invalid, would I still get missing baseband?
Xposed Imei Changer - it did change IMEI. But that's it. Baseband still missing.
*#0011# and other *# stuff..
And I have wiped /efs (it did generate new nv_data. Guess now even broken IMEI would make ma happy)​
Any ideas ?
How can I know what can be wrong? /efs partition? wrong firmware combination? hardware issue?
In Samsung Phone Info I get empty on Modem Board, Hardware Revision,Samsung Serial Number,Baseband Version.
Than you for any help or idea!
tried smart Switch emergency reinitialization?
Just to be sure, knox is triped now?
I have really made a mess trying to fix it myself.
I will write the current status and at the bottom what I've tried so you can skip
Model: sm-g920f
IMEI: 359845066450254
sn:RF8G41WR1SW
Android version:6.0.1

Baseband:G920FXXU3DPDP
Kernel version: 3.10.61-7884513 [email protected]#1
22 Apr KST 2016
now the sim card works in other phones and when I remove it the device registers it is SIM CARD REMOVED but when I put it back in nothing happpens, and mobile networks settings is gone
*I started in stock 5.1.1 (MADE NANDROID BACKUP OF EVERYTHING INCLUDING EFS) and flashed twrp via odin > (everything still working)
*flashed XtreStoLite 2.4 (5.1.1) via twrp > (everything still working)
after several months
*flashed new 6.0.1 bootloader and modem via odin and tried to flash XtreStoLite 3.0 (6.0.1) via twrp > got stuck in bootloop...
*used smart switch to go back to stock 6.0.1> Everthing was OK until about a month later the phone suddenly restarted and doesn't recognize the sim card
* I tried factory reset
* I tried samsung but they gave it back saying I've tripped my knox flag
*I flashed 6.0.1 XtreStoLite bootloader, modem and TWRP again via odin
*I flashed XteStoLite 3.3.1 (6.0.1)
*I tried restoring from the first nandroid (stock 5.1.1 from the begining) and got stuck in bootloop again.
*reflashed XtreStoLite 3.3.1 (6.0.1) and tried restoring only the efs. still doesn't work.

I saw some threads talking about octoplus box but I still have my efs Backed up my and SN and IMEI still show up.
Please help me I am here I am willing to learn and search online. I've tried everything i've found online.
Hi.
Try to use Smart Switch > Software Update and Initialization to recover your firmware, hopefully you get your network back.
Tell me what happens, gl.
Sent from my SM-G920F using XDA-Developers mobile app
almost same thing on a long thread here, no solution so far:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/help/g920f-network-issues-t3291903
I am seriously considering it could be sim reader issue, or some cold solder somwhere on mbo.
My IMEI was also showing in settigs, but when dialed *#0011#, in stack 1, there was "IMEI NG", after write cert operation via octoplus, it says IMEI OK now, but NO SIM, and no mobile networks menu still.
Same like you SIM is detected when inserted or removed, and phone offers restart to access mobile networks, but after restart nothing changes, KNOX tripped by previous owner, phone was in three 3rd party repair shops, where they made even bigger mess than it was, when I brought it to them.
i had the same issue when i upgraded to mm so i sent to shop they had to downgrade it to 5.1.1 and use octobox to fix it
Thanks for replying Legend.
But even though I did the software Initialization in smart switch once before it is not working for me now.
I've tried twenty time while reinstalling and restarting the pc I even tried a different pc I get the same error message every time. "failed to run firmware upgrade unknown error occurred".
any other thing to try?
you could try to restore that backup you have, from when everything worked and then flash 5.1.1. bootloader and modem for that csc via odin before rebooting
According to Smart Switch with your sn it is ILO so you need 5.1.1 bootloader and modem from ILO 4 file fw package.
*I just managed to flash stock 6.0.1 via odin (even though It failed at hidden.img... it boots normally) still no sim card tough.
*I realized that maybe all of this happened because when I flashed stock via smart switch for the first time I didn't have my original s/n so I put one from the internet and it wasn't my region.
meaning I flashed stock of UK and it still worked for a month or so, so that's weird...
*Thank you brenner that is a good idea and I will try now
question how do I extract the bootloader and modem out of the fw? I just open the tar archive and take the boot.img and modem.bin files and flash them as is?
nvm found a guide

There are .tar-s which are single file, and 4 files, the ones with 4 files has separate bl/modem
btw, isnt sn written on back of the phone, along with IMEI?
OK, I've flashed the nandroid stock 5.1.1 (LMY47X.G920FXXU3COJ1) and its bootloader and modem from sammobile.. still doesn't work!!
How can this be? everthing is EXACTLY the way it was when it was working!
and no, my model at least doesn't have the S/N and IMEI written at the back, and I didn't keep the box
any other suggestion anyone?
*also there are so many post in subject if I ever find a solution I will make a guide.
-bump-
still no solution..
I've flashed back to current stock ILO...
Meanwhile looking for a lab with octoplus box, still would love solving this at home
At home or not, I would like to solve it too
Bought a second hand S6 the other day and was working perfectly fine until I carried out the update. Now on 6.0.1 and am getting the exact same problem, my SIM works in every other phone. Has anyone found a solution for this?
Not that I know of, except hw replacement, which cost as a used phone with 1+ years of warranty (6 months warranty on motherboard after replacement, on motherboard only)
But I am willing to donate to whoever finds a solution for it.
No i think your problem is a S/W problem, i have 2 G920F with this problem, one of them is 3 binary and another is 4 binary FW, now i work on it if i can solve this problem i told you here.

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.
