Hi.
I recently flashed the iNfinity HD V2 rom on my Blu Life Play.
Since then I have not been able to get my sim to be recognize in the sim 2 slot.
It worked before I flashed the rom and I'm at a loss as how to resolve the issue.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm no expert on this, but here is my guess.
There are 2 versions of the Blu Life Play. One of which supports 850/1900 3G bands, the other working with 850/2100. Both of these versions of your phone have 2 sim card slots. My guess would be (and odds are I am not right) is that you flashed the ROM corresponding to the opposite version of the Life Play that you have, and that caused some sort of issue. Like if you had the L100a, you might have accidentally flashed the L100i ROM, or the other way around.
Check the thread or page that you got the ROM from. That 2nd SIM card slot issue might be a known issue. Usually ROM developers will post a "What's Working" and "What's Not Working" section on the thread or page they made for their ROM. Check to see if the SIM card issue is in the "What's Not Working" section.
Hope this helps!

Thanks for the reply.
That could be a possibility.
I have gone through the thread and I don't see anything specific to my problem but something similar.
I should I have been more vigilant before I flashed.

If it is really necessary that you have the 2nd SIM card slot, just go back to the stock version of Android that came with your phone, and then from there try to get another ROM. That way, even if you are unable to find another ROM that doesn't have the 2nd SIM card issue, at least you will be running a version of Android that does support it.

My main issue at the moment is actually getting the phone back to stock; every time I flash it there seems to be remnants of the old rom.
I cant' seem to get it back to stock.
I managed to get the phone back to stock including the recovery.
I still can't get the phone to recognize the sim.
After reading some threads here I think I flashed a rom for L100i instead of L100a.
I think the problem is to do with the modem.
Can anyone help me please?
I think I have the problem narrowed down to not having a IMEI number.
I have no back up of it.
Is there any way I can get a the IMEI back on my phone?
Phone is no longer rooted and having trouble rooting again.

If all you did was restore a recovery-made-backup, I don't think that will restore original baseband and stuff. If this is how you got back to stock, that means that although you are running stock BLU-Android, you are still using the broken L100i incompatible baseband.
I am not sure if this phone is compatible with ODIN, but if it is and you can find a tutorial on how to restore your L100a back to stock with ODIN then this is what you want. I am not sure what ODIN stands for, but it's a download tool used for not only restoring a phone's android operating system back to stock, but the other things that a plain old recovery-backup doesn't cover like kernel and baseband. ODIN requires a Windows PC with the correct phone drivers installed. So in this case you need the your phone's drivers from BLU on your computer, so that when you plug the phone in it is recognized as a BLU Life. Again, I am not sure if there even is an ODIN image for your phone since generally BLU phones are not that popular on XDA, but if there is then follow the instructions and use that to restore back to stock instead of just using a recovery backup.
IF YOU DO FIND AN ODIN IMAGE FOR IT, MAKE SURE THAT YOU DO NOT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE OF INSTALLING THE "I" VERSION INSTEAD OF THE "A" VERSION! MAKE ABSOLUTELY SURE THAT THE ODIN IMAGE IS THE EXACT ONE FOR YOUR PHONE!!!!
EDIT: I just re-read your post and realized I didn't exactly answer your question. Sorry about that.
You should do the ODIN thing I mentioned above, just to make sure that you are on the right baseband. However I do not think this restores your IMEI as well. I Google'd how to restore a lost IMEI on an Android phone and got a couple articles on how to do so. One of these articles tells that CHANGING THE IMEI OF YOUR PHONE IS ILLEGAL!!!!! However It doesn't sound like this applies to you according to what you said, because you are only trying to restore a lost IMEI number, not change an already existing one.
Have a look at this article.
Good luck! :cyclops:

All I'm trying to do is get the IMEI that came with the phone back on it; nothing illegal.
Mobile ODIN is not compatible with my device.
I would like to get back to full stock; can anyone help with that please?
I have seen that SpFlashtool might be useful for me.
The only problem is is that I have no experience with it.
Can anyone give me some pointers on how to use it safely?
I'm not sure if people have any interest in this, but I think I have have the problem resolved.
I flashed octarom_kk_iq4410_v3_fixed which seem to give me a baseband then I used SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1328.0.183 to flash a secro.img.
after all that my imei's were restored.

So my friend (lives in Canada) has an Optimus One one a plan with Koodo. I walked her through installing CyanogenMod 7.1 or whatever the latest was. You know, unlock bootloader, root phone, and get Clockwork Mod to do all the hard work. I... may have skipped over the backing up part. See, I thought you know, her phone got wiped on bootloader anyway, so why backup? Yeah, idiot
So now she can't make calls, send text messages or anything. So I can only assume it's a baseband issue. But, that's where I'm stuck. After reading, some people suggest mik's mod, or something, others give a download to a backup for an Indian ROM. One flow chart suggested installing the baseband from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1149530 which looks useful. Except... which one do I use? And will it work on Canadian company Koodo? Will the Indian ROM work with Canadian Basebands?
Please, help would be so greatly appreciated

Hey man, so basically you were right, it's a baseband issue.
Flash version 20g/i/h whatever, I don't remember what letter but it doesn't matter.
Just follow the guide to the letter and it will work fine
Cheers mate!

You're on the right track, use the file attached to that post titled "P500-v20G-baseband.7z" (use 7-Zip/WinRAR/etc to extract).
Make sure you follow the instructions EXACTLY. Do NOT unplug your phone until it tells you it's completely done, and don't delete the backup it makes! I got lucky the first time I flashed, I thought it had lost communication and had unplugged my phone, but luckily it hadn't started the wipe yet and I was able to recover it.
Don't worry, you're doing the right thing. Remember to follow every single step (double check twice), and DO NOT UNPLUG THE USB, until it tells you to, as they have said above. Also to add, I have a Canadian Koodo O1, and I'm 200% that you won't have any problems whatsoever installing anything on this forum, whether it's an Indian based ROM, Chinese based, etc. Have fun modding!
Alright, so i am having a bit of an issue. And it's probably because i'm a complete noob....
So, I have a new GS3, and wanted to give my (already rooted and flashed with Cyanogenmod 10) Skyrocket to my mom to use on Simple mobile (a company using T-mobile's towers).
I read that you can flash radios for T-mobile onto the phone, and so I figured everything would work.
Here is what I did.
I unlocked the phone while in Cyanogenmod10
Flashed LiquidSmooth RC9 - read it had less bugs
tried flashing multiple Tmobile Radios
I get NO service. I cant pick any of them up..
Baseband comes up as UNKNOWN...
So i'm currently downloading ODIN and going to try to flash to stock and just start from scratch...
Any suggestions on what to do?
Do you still have an imei?
Try unlocking the phone after you've gone back to stock. I don't know how you did it with cm10. I don't think it works with anything but stock.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I957 using xda app-developers app
No, the IMEI is blank when i do the *#06# code....
also, when i put the simple mobile sim in the phone, it automatically came up asking for the network unlock code. That's how i was able to unlock it.
Did you ever backup your imei? Flashing back to stock will hopefully bring it back if not you may have some issues. Also as mentioned above it's better to unlock from a stock ROM or at least stock based.
Alright, Flashed to stock, IMEI is back (thank god), and i'm getting service.
Now here are the issues ahead of me, and any help would be greatly appreciated.
I am on STOCK ATT ICS Rom.
I GET SERVICE (however, it's only 2g) i know i need to flash the radios for Tmobile,
Was going to use this ---> Blaze_4G_LB7_ICS_Radio_MOD ...... Direct DL, CAN BE USED FOR T-MOBILE/WIND ON ICS (from the skyrocket reference thread)
First i know i have to root, install CWM, all that.
Now, should i flash a custom rom? If so, which one would you suggest. ( i assume, i have to give her ICS, not JB, right?)
Also, you said backup my IMEI, i'll look this up in the meantime, but if you could include a link in your post on a how-to just in case i dont find it, i would really appreciate it.
Also, is there anything else i should do to get this working properly?
thank you very much for all your help.

Custom ROM is your choice. There are a lot of JB ROMS that are pretty stable. Also a new stock JB leak in the dev section. As far as backing up your imei. You'll need to root first as soon as you do get a file explorer and copy the whole EFS folder to your external SDcard. Then also copy it to your computer. The imei is held within the EFS folder. From now on do this as soon as you root BEFORE you flash anything. lol

Thank you very much! I'll start rooting now and back it up immediately. I would love to give her a JB rom, mainly for google now. However, that radio is for ICS. Is that going to cause a problem? or will it even work on JB?
I've been on JB for months using an ICS radio. I'm on ATT so I can't say for certain but it shouldn't be an issue. Just go to the DEV thread and spend a few hours reading up on what's available. Like I said most of the ROMs are pretty stable at this point.
FYI, on skyrocket the IMEI is stored in mmcblk0p18 and mmcblk0p19, not /efs partition. Might really want to back those up, especially before attempting a usb unlock. The /efs only really stores exports of certain properties from mmcblk0p18.

Thanks for the heads up. lol I thought for sure they'd be stored in the same place they where for my SGS4G. So what is stored in the imei folder in EFS then?
I know there's another thread of mine with the same problem. But no one has helped me yet. I have a lg optimus one for a long time, I installed cm10.1 about 5-6 months ago, I didnt backup anything when I installed custom rom. I factory reset everything on it so I could give it to someone. But now, when I turn it on, checked the about phone. There is no IMEI. I need help from step to step. I dont wanna brick it. I want it back to stock rom 2.2 froyo. And I have been reading threads about people bricking their phone with kdz(dont know what it is). I'm a newb. I live in U.S
Anyone...?

If this mysteriously happened then your SIM card is probably toast. Can you boot into recovery? Have you tried another ROM?
same happend to me, i root the phone and install recovery, an on every single rom i had flashed i didn't had any connection, and there was no IMEI number

If it killed the SIM - try another one - that would quickly prove that theory (although I don't know if I would risk a SIM from an active phone, but if you know anyone who has a phone that died or if you are lucky and can get 10$ SIM cards for pay as you go with no activation fee - it's a cheap way to test and gives you a spare SIM if you ever need it...assuming you have unlocked as well as rooted your phone).
Sounds more like you installed a rom with an incompatible base band if you have no connectivity to your carrier anymore. If you flashed straight to an ICS or JB rom without either upgrading it through the LG app or manually flashing at the time - try it now. (it's not going to hurt it more than it already is, and these phones are tough)
And with my first post I am starting to realize how much I have been digging into what could go wrong so it doesn't go wrong before I tried anything. However if I am wrong, please let me know!!
A while back, I lost my IMEI flashing CM10. I restored that back, and got my phone working again, but every time I leave the local area code, my phone says that I am roaming. Being that I recently moved out of state, this means that my phone now says that I am roaming all the time. While this doesn't greatly affect anything, I would like to fix it. The problem seems to stem from my ERI (ERI version: none). Is there any way to repair this?
I too have this problem now. I recently flashed a few cm10 nightlys one after another using the built in updater and I lost my imei. After using the nv-item_reader_writer program and the nv generator I was able to restore my imei but am still without an erI
This is what I did to get my eri back after losing my imei and restoring it. There may be some steps you don't need to do but it worked for me.
1) I flashed a stock rooted TW rom.
2) Next I flashed the VRLF2 modem found here (Click spoiler to see them) : http://rootzwiki.com/topic/34053-firmware-vrbmf1-modemrpmtzsbl-verizon-sgs3-sch-i535/
3) Next, I got my eri back using the forbidden software in this thread(You're going to have to search the thread some but you're on the right page): http://rootzwiki.com/topic/32397-tu...ants/page__pid__1218913__st__220#entry1218913
4) Follow directions in OP of same thread.
5) Once you have you ERI back to 5 and your phone shows verizon network I highly recommend going to Synergy rom thread and looking for the HW keys back up zip. It can be found if you look through the attachments in that thread. Make a flashable copy of your keys with that zip and place on your sd card and in multiple other places for safe keeping.

Thank you for this. I do not need iut currently and I do have a proper NVBackup but you never know . I have it on my Box account just in case and besides I could always help someone that didnt do a proper NVbackup. Quick question. What happens if you flash a 16 GB PIT on a 32 GB Model? Would it brick you or just give you a 16 GB S3? I have a 16 GB model but just curious. I need to read up on this stuff.

Since I had restored my imei with qpst all I did was use the tool to restore my eri. From what I've read it won't work unless you downgrade your modem. I didn't have to mess with the PIT files listed. I don't think it would be good to mess with those without talking to someone who knows more than I do. JMO, I don't think it would end well mixing those up. I also forgot a step, once you're back up with your eri you can upgrade your modem back to whatever is best for you. A lessoned learned the hard way for me. I haven't had to worry about losing stuff like this since the original EVO 4G.
Hello everybody this is my first post on this site but it has be invaluable to me in the past for getting phones up and running.
I have a photon q that received a forced update to JB i rooted the phone put CWM on and flashed a stock 4.0.4 ROM to it (asanti_c-user-4.0.4-7.7.1Q-6_SPR-125_ASA-10-11-release-keys-Sprint-US )
Everything appeared to have worked correctly (IE it boots, i can access the internet/youtube app, receive gmail .etc) however the play store wasn’t working.
Fast forward 2 days of debugging and I realized that somehow my IMEI and MEID are messed up ( 0 and 00000000000000 respectively)
I have been looking at ways to restore the IMEI to the phone (i have to original number as it came on the screen protector when I bought the phone), however I cannot seem to find a method that will work with the photon Q.
Tried the terminal emulator method, After reboot nothing has changed.
Can’t find the /EFS folder (after looking that one up i do not believe it exists on this phone) so the method of manipulating the files within won’t work.
So the meat and potatoes of my question is how do i put my IMEI number back into my phone so I can use it again?
thank you in advance

Did you try using RSD Lite to flash the phone back to factory?
RSD lite
I Used RSD lite to flash the ROM.
As far as I know that rom is a factory/stock ROM.
If it is not where would I go about finding a factory ROM?

Ah, OK I was mistaken about how you flashed the device...
I'm not sure why that would or how it could erase your IMEI, I have used it many times.
That is why I am confused i have done this for other peoples phones prolly 20 or 30 times and I have never had an issue with it.
untill i go to do my own
So i need to figure out a way to put my IMEI back onto the phone. like i said i have the number i just dont know how to get it back into the device... :/
Still unable to find information on how to fix this.
I have however found out that there are three differant versions of the "stock" firmware for the same version and same model.
I am going to attempt to try them all and I will post results here.
FIXED
After looking the problem over i determined that my phone must have shipped with a different firmware than the "stock" one I had flashed. I found 2 other 4.0.4 firmware "stock" ROMS. they are all stock but some of them shipped on different devices. I guess with this phone you have to have the exact same "stock" firmware that came with it.
what I did
found and downloaded the other ROMS (will post the site to get them if I am allowed)
re-flashed the ROMS until one automagicaly had my IMEI number populated (i double checked against the number I had written down from when I got the phone and they are the same so it is not a "fake" IMEI)
I hope others who have this problem will find this helpful.

i mean that erasing imei is impossible on photon...simple question...is your phone switched to gsm mode?
