Disclaimers: I hate asking for help and never have here before, but I'm at wits end. Yes, I've read the FAQ's, the Wiki and Googled myself silly. I've been working on this for over a day now, so I'm not asking for help casually.
Problem: MyTouch 3G TMOUS Will not boot into Android. I can load recovery, fastboot, etc., but when I try to boot android it goes to the green MyTouch 3G screen and there it stays. I've left it for 40 minutes a couple of time, and there it remains.
Cause: I've flashed several ROMs onto this phone before. I flashed one last night and it never booted.
I didn't make a Nandroid backup (stopped doing that ages ago since I never had a problem).
Attached is an ADB bugreport, if it's any help.
THANK YOU in advance for any help you can give me!
Recovery: RA-sapphire-v1.5.2G
SPL: HBOOT-1.33.2005 (SAPP30000)
Radio: 2.22.19.261
I've tried:
1) Flashing different ROMs
2) Flashing different recoveries
3) Flashing different SPLs
4) Even flashed the radio once
Problem remains unchanged.
I assume you already may have tried this... but have you made sure the partition setup of your SD Card matches the configuration the ROMs are expecting?
If not then you can partition using Amon_RA's recovery Rom. Also, clear your Data partition as well before you install a ROM (Again, I assume you probably already did this).
Lastly, try to keep this sort of thread to the general section
Thanks for the idea, CatalystNZ! Yes, I have tried about four different ROMs, and several different partition configurations to include straight fat32 and even booting with no SD card. I've also swapped out the sd and the sim with my cliq... all to no avail unfortunately.
Are you doing a full wipe before flashing?
Can someone not just post a unconfigured nandroid backup for him? You should always do a nandroid backup, and backup your sd card contents onto your pc, better safe than sorry mom always said.
I have had this happen as well and was very worried. I didn't believe my MT3G was really bricked, but...
I ended up backing up all my fat32 stuff, totally reformatting the SD card with fat32, then repartitioning with Amon Ra 1.5.2 with the file system specs the ROM your trying to use requires. Hopefully that will work. If not I'd go all the way back to a stock ROM (the sappimg.nbh which will reflash your entire stock images.) From there you have to-reroot, etc. (I resorted to this once as well)
Good luck!
Yes, if someone wouldn't mind passing me a spare nandroid backup, I'd love to give that a whirl.
I have been wiping before all flashes - everything right down to battery settings and tilt or whatever. I've formatted and partitioned multiple times with the recovery, xp, and even gparted a couple of times - no dice.
Lesson learned - nandroid backups good. Quasibrickage - bad.
I'm going to look into the sappimg.nbh bit tomorrow morning at work. That sounds like it has potential too!
Thanks again all!
*** djlman, the sappimg.nbh did solve my problem, the phone is back from the dead and my marriage is saved (it's my wife's phone). THANK YOU!
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?
I have had my phone a month and its been working flawlessly. I've installed a few custom roms on it and I'm comfortable with all the technical side from years of doing this.
What happened is my phone had a random shutdown and on reboot there was a com.androidsystemui error. No problem I thought, so I wiped the phone and restored a backup of the same rom (latest Heisenberg which has been very stable for me) same issue. OK maybe its rom related. So I did a clean install of Slimkat which I have found v stable. Instant reboot on setup. After trying this a few times I took the nuclear option and wiped by entire phone including storage and went through all this again using otg. Same problems.
I can only think its recovery or sim card related? any ideas?
btw I have tried fixing permissions and repairing file system in recovery. Thanks in advance!

What recovery are you using? I would consider trying out Philz touch recovery, not sure it will fix it, but its worth a shot anyways.
I have exactly the same bug, with my one (the one with these problems is for a friend) i once had this too, i thougt flashing every image file from stock image has fixed it ill try it in some hours.
BTW i use TWRP v 2.7.1.1 or 2.8.0.1 but this lsat one dont works with multirom for now
I managed to fix it! I used this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/one...fs-corrupt-t2879061/post55531560#post55531560

Thank you very much
Read the full thread. Possibly a latest twrp issue.
Hi everyone.
Let's start from the beginning, and by advance excuse me for my poor English : I happen to be a delighted owner of the Oneplus One by the Oneplus company. I've flashed different versions of cyanogen on my phone, rooted it multiple times and I never encountered any kind of problems. Thus, until I decide yesterday to flash the latest release of cyanogen, cm13 (nightly). I did some researches, followed the usual steps, flashed the right opengapps version along with cm13 and.. everything went great. Except that my phone couldn't resolve himself to detect my SIM card anymore. I tried different things in order to solve the problem, including re-wipe the phone "factory reset" style, removing SIM card, wait for the phone to cool down and played with data roaming, but nothing worked. Fortunately I had my fresh nandroid backup waiting to be restored. That's when the real deal start :
even after having restored the full nandroid backup (which make me downgrade to cm12.1), the SIM card wasn't detected.
So I decided to wipe data, dalvik, cache and system, in order to get my phone back to its original state. But the problem remains, and worst of all, the phone now tends to reboot punctually without any reasons.
I surely did something wrong for the phone to end in this state, but I can't see what..
I use TWRP 2.8.7.0 custom recovery, and the phone OS is now cm12.1-YOG4PAS3JL.
Oneplus One 64GB.
Sorry for the length of the complaint, and by advance thanks for your answers.
P.S : I did tried to search for similar threads in the forum, but I didn't manage to found anything that was directly related.
It could be an issue with the modem not being flashed properly when you went from Lollipop to Marshmallow due to TWRP 2.8.7.0. Try TWRP 2.8.6.0, and then either restore the nandroid backup or clean wipe + reflash CM13 nightly.

Thanks a lot for your response. I've been searching a lot and the problem effectively seems to be the modem not being flashed properly. So I tried to flash it manually, (found the file 2 threads higher, sorry I can't post links yet) via fastboot and then flashing cm13 (with twrp 2.8.6.0), considering the fact it seems to have worked for others.
But no matter what I do, the issue remains : the phone isn't able to detect SIM card and goes into crash, rebooting every 2mn..
I've tried to flash cm13 unnoficial version by sultan, following his instructions, but no improvement either.
Even my nandroid backup (running cm 12.1) can't detect SIM anymore, have serious wifi connectivity issues, and keeps rebooting randomly at very reguliar intervals..
I'm really beggining to feel hopeless,
but thanks again for your time and your advices, really apreciate it.
It seems that I have same problem..... after flashing CM13 and restoring backup
Any progress with this problem?
Edit - If my phone is connected into PC with USB cable it doesnt restarts

Same for me, the phone stops crashing and rebooting randomly once connected to pc via USB cable. But still doesn't recognize SIM card. Wifi also seems to work better.
No further progress unfortunately, I've tried everything, from restoring the phone to its factory state to flashing all "stable" roms (cyanogen), nothing worked.

Already saw it, but thanks ^^ that's where i found my file modemst.bin
so did it work for you ?
The same thing happened to me last week. I was using Materialized TWRP 2.8.7.0, which I think caused issues with my updating of Sultanxda's 13.1 ROM. SIM card was never detected, phone would restart shortly after every boot. I tried everything I could find to get my baseband and IMEI back.
In the end, only this solution worked for me, and I had to do it twice. I don't know why.
I had the same problem. I got back to TWRP 2.8.6.0 and then flashed the latest CM13(wiped System). after that without wipe i flashed sultans's CM13 then gapps and got the sim working again.

Thanks for the link. I tried to flash the zip, but twrp(2.8.6.0) gave me an error : Error flashing ONEPLUS+ONE-FIX-Windows.zip
I tried to clean flash it and dirty flash it, nothing seems to work.

I've tried multiple times, it doesn't work. SIM card is not recognized, phones goes to reboot after 30s of use.
Whatever rom I flash the problem ain't solved, even after factory reset from original OS (cm 12.1)..
I really begin to think there is no solution, I've tried to flash my phone at least 20 times with different roms, fix, firmwares, modem, everything that is available on the net and I couldn't notice even the slightest change in the comportment of my phone.
Anyway, thanks a lot for your proposal, I guess it HAVE to work, but for some irrational reason it doesn't...

Did U flash over TWRP or ADB?
Just popping in to say I have the same problem. I'm trying the various solutions presented in the thread and I'll come back and report if anything worked. I would also appreciate any other suggestions that you may have
For the record, I got into this predicament through the following steps:
1. I was flashing some CM nightly (sorry, I don't remember which one), and after reboot the touch screen didn't work anymore
2. I flashed the OxygenOs .zip that I had saved on internal storage through TWRP
3. After flash touch screen worked but no sim detected
4. Flashed CM 12.1 still no sim
5. Flashed back to OxyOs, still no sim. Curiously I am unable to reboot via software.
Anyway, I basically have all weekend to work on this, so awayyyy we go!
---
<Edit>
Wow that was fast. I followed this guy's instructions (fastboot flashing modemst, then CM12.1) and it seems to be working like a charm! Good luck everybody else!

I flashed via TWRP(2.6.8.0) and via ADB for modemst1.bin and modemst2.bin.
By the way, there's a little improvement : I flashed kalkulin's_stock_OPO Rom and that stopped my phone from rebooting.
Now cm13 is running kinda fine, except it still doesn't detect SIM card, even after reflashing modemst1 and modemst2
Edit : When I try to flash oxygenos, oneplus fix or cm12.1, (roms that are supposed to fix sim detection problem), it doesn't work : Error flashing Zip file. via adb or twrp, that's the same. (excepting the fact that error in adb is about trustzone)
I think my efs partition is somehow corrupt, and unfortunately i have no way to restore it.

It's not supposed to be flashed. Unzip the archive on a Windows PC, then use the .bat files in there to fix your phone.

Effectively, I kinda did things completely wrong there, sorry. (I'm an exclusive linux user for my defense ^^)
Okay guys, I finally solved my problems.
Here's what I did to fix reboot crashes and SIM detection issues :
-Flash TWRP(2.8.6.0)
-Wipe everything except internal storage
-Flash Calkulin's_Stock_OPO_XNPH44S_ROM_v1.0.zip (can't post links yet, sorry)
-Boot system
-Once done, reboot to bootloader (in command prompt : sudo adb reboot bootloader)
-In command prompt, type the following commands (It will delete modem and /persist partition ! be careful) :
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot erase persist
-If you need to fix "Unable to mount /persist" error in TWRP :
adb shell
make_ext4fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p15
-Flash Oxygen OS (i flashed oxygen_1.0.0_flashable.zip)
That should restore EFS and fix the issues.
Well, that was kind off a pain in the ass, but now my problem is solved, and i'm currently running cm13 quite fine.
Make a backup of your EFS partition.
Thanks to all the people that helped me by posting in this thread !
It's a nightly build, it bound to have some problems.
i am having bootloop issue, tried many roms, erased partition too, still no use. continuous bootloops
