I know there are other similar posts on XDA, but i recently rooted my friend's Captivate and flashed the Cyanogenmod-161 Nightly. I am running the same ROM on my Captivate and have had no problems at all, but on my friend's phone his SIM card is not recognized and in the about phone settings it says unknown for the baseband. I've looked around and have learned that its probably because something went wrong with the radio/modem, but I don't know how to fix this. I've tried flashing back to JF6, but I get the same issue. Step-by-step instructions and a link to where I can download the correct radio/modem would be awesome. Thanks.
Have you tried doing a full wipe then flashing a new rom (before any technical stuff come into play)?
Yes, first I manually deleted all of the folders on the SD card (not the root though) then I did a factory reset from the settings menu. Then from the clockwork recovery menu I wiped data/factory reset, wiped cache partition, and wiped Dalvik cache. After all that I flashed the latest Cyanogenmod nightly (164) and it still said unknown baseband. Is there a different way I need to be hard resetting the phone?
If I were to make a nandroid backup of my phone, and restore it on my friends phone, would that fix the problems?
hello
I have just got my galaxy tab2 10.1
android 4.0.3
first I worked on WiFi as well, I insert my SIM and reboot and I lost my WiFi connection the WiFi is working but can not find my net signal,also I tried different SIMs ,also removed the SIM,the problem can only solve by factory reset ,any other way to fix ??
thanks
any suggest?
sounds like your best bet would be to just factory reset with the sim card in it. Taking the sim card out and putting it back in has apparently confused your tab and the only way to fix it would be for the sim to re-validate with your carrier after seeing a fresh install. you might be able to try the setup wizard but i dont see that revalidating your sim since its already verified. Factory reset isnt end of the world, if you start rooting and flashing custom roms you'll get real used to resetting up your tab/phone in minutes from a fresh wipe.
Hello, I am in a bit of a jam and am trying to find the best way out.
My device is encrypted using the native Android feature. I have Lean Kernel and CleanROM on the device. So it is rooted/unlocked. I was trying to clean the device further by uninstalling some useless apps with Titanium Backup. Turns out I messed up on something..
When the phone boots to the encrypted device screen, the keyboard doesn't show up! I am not able to get into the phone to do anything!
I have the latest CWM recovery installed. I tried a factory reset and such, but it says it fails to mount the internal SD card. /:
Anyone know how I can fix this and flash a new CleanROM? Data wiping is not a problem for me, but CWM refuses to mount the SD card to do it..
Any advice? I am relatively new to the Android scene, so try not to make things too complicated.
Odin?

This probably wouldn't work, but have you tried reflashing with Odin?

I am looking at this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1984436
I am downloading the very first package. Since that seems to wipe everything, which is what I want at this point.
Will flashing that work?
I'm not sure if it will work, as I don't encrypt my device. What it will do is wipe your system, data, etc. partitions, but it won't touch your internal SD. This will probably be fine; it will install a keyboard and you should be able to enter your password, that is, if it can flash the ROM properly.

I'm still trying to understand how Android storage works, so I may sound like a noob here haha..
All I have is an internal SD card. I don't have an external one or anything. Are system, data located on another internal flash chip or something? If they are on the internal SD, I would imagine everything would be formatted and reset once this is flashed.
Sorry, I read the linked post wrong...So this will wipe everything, system, data, and internal SD.
As for the difference, the system and data are different partitions than the internal SD.. so normally when you factory reset in CWM, it just wipes the data, not your internal SD or system. What this means is that it won't touch some files, like ones you download from the internet, but it will get rid of all of your apps and appdata, as you know, and these are stored in the data partition.
I got it sorted. Thanks for the help.
Glad I could help!

Just wanna say this thread was a lifesaver, and I'll just leave my experience here for fellow noobs, like myself, stumbling into this issue.
I CMod'd my S3 with Clockwork (following very detailed instructions) and tried out encryption (knowing ahead of time that a factory reset would be in order if I didn't like it). As you all know Clockwork has trouble mounting the encrypted /sdcard/ directory, and won't do the factory reset. I was afraid that since Clockwork couldn't deal with the encrypted data, so too might Odin, leading to the risk of bricking. This thread gave me enough courage to give it a go. Following the above linked instructions solved the problem. Odin had no problem wiping and writing over the encrypted data. after I was back to stock I ran through installing Clockwork and CMod again. And just like that, the problem's fixed.
Thanks a bunch everyone!
EDIT:
I just got a response on twitter from a friend who ran into the same issue with clockwork. According to him, apparently TWRP doesn't have this flaw. My phone's working now and I don't want to monkey around with it anymore, but maybe a more experienced user out there could comment on/confirm this, and maybe add the info to the tutorials (if it's correct).
Thanks again!

Yeah, I was worried I might have created a $200 paper-weight!
I'm glad that my question ended up helping you as well!:good:
Hey everyone,
I dropped my trusty G2 and decided to get a cheap G3 as a replacement.
After successfully flashing LOS I noticed the sim card doesn't get recognized.
Tried rebooting, reflashing, flashing an older nightly, nothing worked so far
I've read a thread about reflashing the radio firmware only, but that didn't seem to do anything for me

Several times I found that errors of that kind were fixed after flashing back the stock ROM and then flashing the custom ROM again, maybe it is worth a try, especially if the SIM card is working for the rest of the users of the custom ROM.
If you have made a nandroid backup via TWRP of the stock ROM (which always is recommended to have), simply flash back your backup of stock ROM via TWRP. If not, then have a look at this thread or simply google for other threads:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mo...e-restore-moto-e-2015-stock-firmware-t3054303
Two things I would try.
1:Take SD card out and format it on a Computer/PC.I use the free Minitool Partition Wizard for this,
https://www.partitionwizard.com/free-partition-manager.html
But be careful and make sure you are on the right drive as you don't want to wipe the Computer hard drives.
2;Do a,"Factory Reset" after wiping the Dalvik cache and the Disk Cache.

Hi guys,
I have a slight problem here, I was using my rooted with magisk and running lineageos17. Unfortunately, bluetooth wasnt working so I reverted back to stock, which fixed the bluetooth problem. I tried rooting the thing then with this method:
https://www.xda-developers.com/install-android-oreo-samsung-galaxy-s7-exynos/
Unfortunately though, this killed my imei. I tried restoring my efs partition with twrp; even tried reflashing the stock firmware, all to no avail, my imei is gone.
Is there any way I can restore it or have I turned my phone into a fancy paperweight now?
Would be cool if anyone could offer me some help,
best wishes,
derelektrischemoench
// edit: I managed to get twrp installed and was able to restore my twrp- backup which i had made before this whole endeavour and voila: the device is back online, has an imei and is able to connect to a network. Hell yea. Thread can be closed, I guess.
