[Q] No service, tried everything

I got a p500h from my friend since my razr droid died and I needed something to hold me over until I can save up for the note3. It had 2.2 on it so I flashed CM 10.1 for 4.2.2. When I put my sim card in I had no service.
I checked the baseband and it was unknown so I flashed it for v.20 and it appeared but I still get no service.
I don't have gapps installed because I don't really need it.
And that's pretty much it. I can't think of anything else to try, can someone help? I'm using a non-smart phone in the meantime and it is quite terrible.

Try the old Baseband fix, that did it for me some years ago, not sure if you need the v10 baseband coming from 2.2 but the fix should work. You can find it here on the Forum.
If nothing works, use kdz to flash the Stock Rom and start over.

Thanks, I wanted to try that but when I go to download the milk_os fix at the bottom of this page
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14743798&postcount=2
I get redirected to some bull****(lp.downloadsetup.net)
And I just don't trust this thing, is this really what I'm suppose to download?

Is definitely the fault of baseband. Some rom is incompatible with any type of baseband. Try to download from play store an application with baseband-ril match...

Sounds like you have an old baseband phone, but you flashed a new baseband ROM on it. In that case, simply flash the zip indicated below (I suggest you mount /system in recovery before flashing, even though the script auto-mounts /system, just to be sure). I'm attaching two zips for the sake of completeness; the one you want is the Use_New_BB_ROMS.zip.
Use_New_BB_ROMS.zip -- Flash this zip if you're trying to use a new baseband ROM on a phone that uses the old baseband. If you have no network on 2.3 and above ROMS, your phone probably uses the old baseband, so this is the zip you need.
Use_Old_BB_ROMS.zip -- Flash this zip if you're trying to use an old baseband ROM on a phone that uses the new baseband. If you have no network on 2.2 and below ROMS, your phone probably uses the new baseband, so this is the zip you need.

I tried to flash it but I get an error: can't copy META-INF/com/google/android/updated-binary
Should I be wiping cache for this? Dalvik cache?
I used LGMDP-v1.5 to get bb v.20 on my phone in the first place, I tried to do the same with v.10 after v.20 didn't work but it just went back to baseband unknown. when I tried to download the milk_os fix it just linked me to some phishing page.

What recovery are you using? I've tried with AmonRa & CWM 5.0.2.0 and both work. Other CWM versions will probably work, too. Haven't tried with TWRP.
If this flashed successfully but you still don't have service, then you might have borked something when changing baseband in KDZ. If that's the case, then hopefully others will be able to help you as I've never touched KDZ myself.

I tried it, here's what happened.
First I just flashed it, I checked the baseband, it was unknown. Previously it was v.20 so I tried flashing in v.10 since this was a fix for v.10 AFAIK
Still unknown.
Tried flashing the fix again just to overwrite whatever it needed to overwrite and still unknown.
I'm back to square 1 on this one.

Help Needed with Samsung G920P after root

Hi Guys, I know I am an idiot for not following all those guides properly and now I think I have bricked my device?
Well I am in Australia and I have this G920P model on android 5.1.1 (Unrooted). All was working fine, I bought it second hand from someone, I believe this is a U.S Sprint version, But I had my Telstra sim working in it with 4g data without issues.
So I decided to root it (without backing up- I know my mistake) and then flash XtreStoLite rom (again without doing any backup of original Rom). After that My device did not detect my sim card and there is nothing in the IMEI section of the phone.
I tried to flash official G920P rom via odin which installed successfully, and it shows signal on my phone, let me make calls but No Data. Seems like it is not registering my phone on the network properly.
So what have I done to my phone? Any chances to recover it somehow?

Have you the efs folder in your / partition? To check:
-Open any root explorer
-Go to / and check if efs folder exist
-If exists any file into it, tell me.

Thanks for a quick response, I Installed a root browser app and yes I can see EFS folder there and there are a bunch of folders and files in the EFS folder. e.g bluetooth, carrier, cpk, Factoryapp, imei, lost+found.... and so on
Appreciate your help in advance.

Have you checked your apn setting ? Make sure your carriers apn settings are restored.

Ok. I'll look into it. Thanks.

Ok, I have entered my network's pan settings manually and I get can get the data working but it only picks up 3g not 4g. I can make calls too.
But every time i restart the phone it keeps on checking the network status and picks up the signal after 3-4 minutes.
Also its stuck on the Hands Free activation screen and keeps on re-trying it.
Any help would be appreciated if I can get my device back to a normal one. Any other ROM's should i try?

One more question guys, Is there any non - sprint ROM for this device G920P? Because when I bought the device, I had no sprint stuff on it. No boot up splash screen or anything. I did not make note of which build version was it on but it definitely said G920P and it was on android 5.1.1.
Thanks

You may find and extra menu by typing ##scrtn#. I wouldnt reset to defaut as those general would be sprints settings. Try to find your carriers apn settings online.You should be able to cancel the hands free default activation. Are you still rooted?

Stock or custom? If i find it i'll give you a notice asap.

I am now on a stock rooted rom. Would prefer to have a rooted rom. I have tried installing renegade but it get stuck on finding network and stuck in a loop.
Imei number is now showing up. But i wonder what version this phone was on when it was unrooted ? As everything was working perfect and i had no traces of sprint either.

Zuk Z2 Corrupt Modem

Hi guys,
I wrote a thread over on zukfans.eu, basically I factory reset my phone on one of the stock roms and it has corrupted my modem, or destroyed my data in my CQN. The long and the short of it is that i have no service and the radio is off, i can't fix it, and no one is helping me over there so maybe someone here will know. How can i flash the modem to my phone, do i just do it in fastboot? Does anyone have a modem file? Can someone backup their CQN for me so i can see if that will fix it (instructions in the thread at zukfans.eu here)?
I've tried flashing stock roms in both QPST & MiFlash and also tried installing via twrp, no luck on any of it. I'm currently on the indian rom 2.0.111 ST with unlocked bootloader and TWRP. I'd really appreciate it if someone could tell me what to do or point me in the right direction.
Cheers

it seems that there are so many people having the same problem.
My modem has been corrupted today on the original room mounted from bangggod, I had bought it 1 month ago.
As you did, I tried several other roms and also the QFIL solution without luck.
I have written a mail to zuk and to banggod asking for an explanation....
It looks like an hw problem.

Flashing modem, which one, updates?
Same here as sooooo many people. Done many things, nothing working yet. I am still hoping not hardware problem.
I see many posts about reflashing modem. Never sure which modem file to download though, and from where.
Also, not obvious to me (new at this) when I flash the ROM does it automatically flash a new modem file? Or does it see one is there and not flash it? I have tried Mokee and others, went back to locked stock 1.9 and now I am downloading official Nougat update and hoping it will flash/fix modem in process. Great phone otherwise. I am crushed.
(edit: I update to AICP instead, nice!, but still no working modem. I do get a switch to turn on radio in phone info though, but nothing. Looking like hardware indeed, but I am still hoping someone will find an answer)

Strange Baseband; Strange problems

Hello everyone, this is my first post, after having read a lot in this forum already.
tl;dr: I flashed several ROMs onto the phone and always had the same problem: Connection to network goes away completely when mobile data is turned on. My baseband is S7652XXMA1 for which I cannot find a stock rom. Don't know what to do now.
Comprehensive description:
So I got a Samsung Galaxy S Duos (GT-S7652) and thought I flash some fancy ROM on it to gather some experience before I go and try with my main phone. So I installed TWRP, which went fine, then I flashed PMP Light ROM, because I read that would improve the performance and I liked the ROM.
The problem is, that as soon as I turn on the mobile data, the phone loses network. I double checked APN settings and tried the same SIM card with my other phone and those settings and everything works fine.
I tried to flash back Stock ROMs, but the problem stays the same.
Now I see two potential sources:
1. Baseband of my phone is S7652XXMA1 and I cannot find the right stock rom for this (although I tried some other Stock ROMs, because I thought they would change the baseband, which they did not)
2. When flashing process reaches the fat.bin (which I read contains the baseband) it gives me an error:
Code:
99%
100%
ERROR: Failed to confirm end of file transfer sequence!
ERROR: FAT upload failed!
Does anyone know how to proceed? Does anyone know where to get a Stock ROM for this Baseband S7562XXMA1? All help is much appreciated

Ok, telephony also doesn't work, if one tries it loses network just as in the mobile data case.
Has no one any ideas, how I could overwrite the Baseband?

Try cm11 with Hungarian baseband.
Is network working on phone properly?
You can also try to flash indian baseband, but keep a backup of old baseband

Wifi works without problems, for mobile network see my posts above.
I have not kept a backup, as I thought just reinstalling stock rom would bring me back to original.
Why do you recommend to flash Hungarian Baseband cm11, so far no baseband rom could overwrite my fat.bin, what does this do differently?

CM11 gives good performance than stock rom for sure.

Hey, I managed to override the baseband with the Hungarian one through the zip from here: [CM11][GT-S7562] Samsung Galaxy S Duos Kitkat 4.4.4
The problems are still the same. I tried to install the cm11 from the same thread (through TWRP), but I get an error (Updater process ended with ERROR: 7) telling me that I am trying to install on top of incompatible data. I tried doing a factory reset, but to no avail.
Right now I am on |DisContinued| COSMIC ROM | Version 2.5 |KitKat-Mod|Galaxy S Dous|Smooth|Fast|Stylish, which also is based on cm11.
I will try to flash some other ROM from PC, but I don't have much hope that will solve anything. Does anyone know where I could obtain a Stock ROM, that is compatible with Hungarian Baseband? There is a link in the Kitkat Thread above (http://d-h.st/do72), but it only gives me some exe-file instead of the tar.gz that I look for...

You say that you cant flash basebands through recovery, so now the best option is odin only, now i am out of ideas about for your problem

I was able to flash the hungarian baseband only, no other worked. Now I do need some ROM that works with that Baseband. I posted a request for a new link in the Thread, maybe I then can proceed and make some progress.

Just if anyone is still following this, I have managed to restore the network connection by using the Hungarian Stock ROM, which I finally managed to locate. If anyone needs it too, here is a link:

[q] need help with no service and no mobile network available

I have no service and no cellular network problem on my N5, running dark rom 7.1.2 aosp, with franco kernel ( never had issues before ), newest radio and bootloader. This started happening when i got my new sim card from my provider and i got 4g signal in my area for the first time. I tried manually selecting radio by going in the hidden menu by entering *#*#4636#*#* and i got lte and full bars signal after selecting band 8 ( 1800 hz ) but only for a minute then it went back to empty triangle. Tried selecting 3g only in preffered network, tried manually selecting provider, tried toggling airplane mode on/off a bunch of times nothing works. Any suggestion would be highly appreciated, i love my N5 very much and i would hate to throw it in a drawer somewhere. Thanks in advance

Were you ever able to get this rectified? I have recently been having this problem as well. I have flashed back to ROMs I was previously using and flashed back to stock to no avail. My SIM card works in other devices as well. I really do not want to have to drop on a new phone, but I have tried every solution I have found online to no avail. I think it's fair to say that I am desperate right now.
edit: I found another thread on XDA that I'm looking into, I'll edit again if it works. I'm unsure how it took me so long to find that thread.
edit2: https://forum.xda-developers.com/go...getting-cdma-networks-to-nougat-roms-t3534679 is the thread that I found useful; I am now running Pure Nexus 7.1.2 with a full connection. Specifically, his second comment about installing 6.0.1 stock, backing up the efs, flashing the desired ROM, then restoring the efs is what ended up fixing it for me.

No luck with aosp by santosh m and pure nexus 7.1.2 , can't even get it to connect. I guess my last hope is caf based i will try lineageos caf. All i need is the efs backup from stock? If i can get it to work with 3g i will be satisfied because i did some digging and found out that my network provider which is Vip MK has no lte support for nexus 5 d820 ( my model ) only 3g, but i can't even connect with 3g selected. I guess because this one is for US frequencies it will not work whatever i try but i will give lineageos caf a chance.

No luck with aosp by santosh m and pure nexus 7.1.2 , can't even get it to connect. I guess my last hope is caf based i will try lineageos caf. All i need is the efs backup from stock? If i can get it to work with 3g i will be satisfied because i did some digging and found out that my network provider which is Vip MK has no lte support for nexus 5 d820 ( my model ) only 3g, but i can't even connect with 3g selected.

I was able to get 3G only to work on my Nexus 5 by reflashing the EFS from 6.0.1; I'm trying right now to see if I can install PureNexus 6.0.1 then dirty flash to PureNexus 7.1.2 with any success. Also, I might just switch to T-Mobile, but I have to wait until later this week for that.

Hi,
LTE band 8 is not in 1800 MHz but first of all you can check your N5 model - US model is D820 and is not supported for LTE on 1800 MHz (band 3). For 1800 Mhz band you need D821 model.
Regards,

Were you ever able to get this rectified? I have recently been having this problem as well. I have flashed back to ROMs I was previously using and flashed back to stock to no avail. My SIM card works in other devices as well. I really do not want to have to drop on a new phone, but I have tried every solution I have found online to no avail. I think it's fair to say that I am desperate right now.
edit: I found another thread on XDA that I'm looking into, I'll edit again if it works. I'm unsure how it took me so long to find that thread.
edit2: https://forum.xda-developers.com/go...getting-cdma-networks-to-nougat-roms-t3534679 is the thread that I found useful; I am now running Pure Nexus 7.1.2 with a full connection. Specifically, his second comment about installing 6.0.1 stock, backing up the efs, flashing the desired ROM, then restoring the efs is what ended up fixing it for me.

To clarify that:
You had the problem with not recognizing the sim or having no service at all. And you solved this by flashing the sstock 6.0.1 backing up the efs, flashing to Pure Nexus 7.1.2 and restoring the efs immediatley after flashing the rom (+kernel+root+etc)?
This solves this mysterious no sim/no service bug, which many (?) N5 owners experience? If this is true, I'd be really happy

It didn't stick. After I lost it I was unable to get it back. I gave up and switched to T-Mobile, where it is no longer a problem. Apologies for not having more testing information. I was able to get solely 3G on multiple instances, but getting the elusive 4G was beyond me.

I've had this problem before in two nexus, one of them running latest stock and the other a customized ROM. I tried to flash a stock ROM image in both of them with no luck. I was pretty sure that the image I was flashing was the latest, so the radio & bootloader should be flashed to the latest versions. But it didn't worked.
Finally I found on a XDA thread where someone was posting only the latest bootloader & radio to flash. I did it with NRT (in Advanced Utilities) and it worked:

I can't remember or find the thread, so I post the images here:
- Bootloader-hammerhead-hhz20h.img
- Radio-hammerhead-m8974a-2.0.50.2.30.img
I think I had to flash them twice because the first time it wasn't right, but there were 4 months since then and still no failure

Thanks for your input. I'll check that when I have some time. This is really weird as it looks like a hardware problem but if you can fix it with this method it's clearly a software issue...
best regards
