Seems to be a similar issue like here: [Q]Null Imei, Baseband Unknown N7105 by Emprt.
With a "broken" EFS partition.
Check this thread: Baseband Unknown and IMEI Null NOW WORKING by karlonicolas.
Maybe this will work in your case too.
Sometimes reflashing the modem/baseband can help to get back the correct IMEI.
And for the next time, please backup your EFS partition like described here: [WARNING! + GUIDE] Backup and Restore IMEI / NV Data Procedure for GT-I9305 by lyriquidperfection.
Good luck !

920i - no sim/no registered network after marshmallow update

Hi,
This is my first post but, I'm an avid lurker. I am having some issues with my girlfriends 920i. It received an OTA update to marshmallow and ever since it won't read the Sim card. I've tried to flash the official fw through Odin and still having the same problem. Because it doesn't read my Sim card, I have zero access to any mobile network settings.
I am wondering if when they updated the marshmallow, I lost unlock capability.
Also, her imei and sn still match. Most of the problems I see people have are mismatched numbers, and her phone seems fine.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

So, I checked the firmware that I flashed and it was INS which seems to be the locked version.
I flashed the INU firmware this morning but still not reading my SIM.
I'm out of options at this point, I'm going to go back to lollipop and see how that goes.

Hi,
I am having this issue for my SM G-920I since 2/3 Jan, 2017. I am using fine on US Tmobile network since Oct 2015, but all of a sudden got the no SIM, emergency calls only and continues to stay like this.. I am curious to know if you resolved the issue and how. Thanks for any feedback!

Help me please
I'm having the same issue. Just flashed INS 6.0.1 firmware on my brand new G920I and now i can't get any mobile signal or data. Tried to flash ZTO firmware for my country, but same issue. My phone was fine before flashing INS firmware. IMEI it's fine too. Recovery shows: Applied multi-csc. What can i do? ((((((((((

Do you also see: " No SIM, Emergency calls only" after rebooting the phone? What's the baseband version ?

Try to connect to Wi-Fi only and once connected, check if there are updates for Software/Firmware.

Already updated and tried to downgrade to 5.1.1, but no sucess. I don't think it's a hw problem, cause it was working before the INS firmware flash, and IMEI number still shows right, no matter what rom i flash (now on MIUI). Can i clean EFS partition and try to flash ZTO firmware again, or i might lost my IMEI and get more problems? Also, wondering if advanced wipe with everything checked on TWRP can help. (data, internal storage, system, sbfs, cache, dalvik cache)

Can you open the phone dialer and enter this code *#*#4636#*#* then clikc Phone Information, and send a screenshot of what you see in the screen (Make sure no IMEI in the screenshot, before you post it here) ? Also check if Radio is OFF or ON.

Codes on my dialer doesn't work, but i'm sure the IMEI is right cause it's showing in phone information. Also, radio is on cause when i search for mobile networks the carriers of my country appears on the screen but when i click on then, just appears a message saying that can't connect

Same problem, any solutions?

I had same issue for over a year, you can check details in my thread, resolved by factory warranty motherboard replacement (free of charge, even thou knox was tripped when I bought it, and I told lady in authorised repair shop that i don`t have warranty).
Forgot to mention that I also tried to repair it via Octoplus box, both by me and some other people (wanted a second opinion), DRK fixed, few new certs written, etc.), not only by flashing fw via Odin or Smart Switch.
And I was 99% sure it was hw, turns I was right.
P.S. country dependable: - in some countries they will probably want to sell you a new motherboard in Samsung (happened to me), but in other factory warranty will be accepted (probably, if the phone is not older than 3 yrs I guess)

Network not available at recently 4.4.2 flashed N8000

Hi guys. I'm posting here in a desperate attempt to solve my problem.
A year ago I purchased an used N8000 with Omega 4.1.2 ROM installed, and worked very good. But a couple of days ago, I flashed my tablet to get the 4.4.2 update, because I need some apps not compatible on old versions.
Everything is ok except for the fact that my sim card is not recognized anymore, if I select the operator manually, I get a "network not available" error.
I made a lot of research, with no results so far to fix the problem. The only thing I learned is that I think it has something to do with the baseband version. Currently I have the N8000XXUDND2 version, the IMEI is ok.
I live in Paraguay, the 3G band of my operator is on 850MHz.
If there's no solution, can I just downgrade to the omega rom by flashing as usual? Or the process is different?
Thanks in advance

Tried flashing the modem I had before, still no signal. I think I screwed my tablet.

when u flash a rom then downgrade it the phone's imei code gets changed which causes "no network" error .
I'm trying to figure out restoration process of original imei code for my device too.

I don't even know how can I check the original imei of my device, since I forgot to write it down. On phones they are usually printed behind the battery, but this doesn't have a detachable battery.

If your IMEI is wrong then restore your backed up EFS folder .

It's written at the bottom back of the tab & on the box seal as well. Or dial *#06#. I tired hard reset & stock rom still imei error

I checked and indeed there's the original imei written at the back of the tab, and it's not the same number as of dialing *#06#. Don't know how to restore though since I didn't back up any efs folder.

You can do a search on XDA there are a number of posts regarding users that failed to backup EFS and null IMEI .

I have the same error, after root, imei and baseband are gone.
don't have efs backup

No 4G only 3g with 44s Modem. No other Modem works . IMEI and Baseband still there.

Hey I really appreciate any help that you can provide. I will tell the long story. My phone got corrupted while flashing different custom ROMs. Oxygen was the culprit. It completely damaged all the partition of my phone. So I repaired via 9008 modem loader using COLOR OS flash tool. then I found there is no baseband and IMEI. EFS partition damaged and I didnt have a backup. Damn it!!!!! Tons of research and googling I found how to use QPST tool by Qualcomm. I retrieved QCN file from friends ONEPLUS ONE (16gigs) and flashed it to my phone (64gigs) and edited the IMEI to my one. Rebooted the phone. tada. I got wifi bluetooth everything running. Phone signal just connects and drops every sec. It wont stay connected. but it is detected. then I thought it might modem issue. I tried every single modem out there but no luck. Finally flashed CM11s 44S Modem. Kaboom. Got the network running. but sadly it will only connect to 3g. I cant connect to 4g. No Other modem works.
1. Only get 3g service via 44s modem on any vanilla rom.
2. No other modem works.
3. Proximity sensor acts really weird. If a call comes Then I have to restart my phone to get the screen lit back. Fixed by flashing proximity fix
4. Baseband is always unknown with 44s Modem but has 3g network connectivity.
5. Other modem shows baseband but no connection even though it is detected.
Please help me guys.. What am I missing. any help appreciated.

1- Check If you have IMEI and IMEI sv and it's the IMEI that shows on box.
2- if no. 1 is true then check another sim card another operator ( to be sure that carrier is not blocking your IMEI for some reason).
3- if other operator's sim worked contact your carrier to check problem with them.

Hey thanks for the reply. I do have my IMEI from the box. I flashed QCN file using QPST tool and applied my IMEI but the thing is I only get 3g. 4G is not detected. Im not sure if something has to do with baseband files. But my friend is from my place and he gets 4g just not me. If I use any other modem other than 44s Modem the network will be detected but won't connect so i cant make or receive calls or anything related to service provide.. Do you know what to do ?

Okay let's make some tweaks :
1- backup modemst1 and modemst2 using dd (I don't trust qcn backup ) and copy them to your computer I also prefer to backup persist and fsg
2- download NEVER_SETTLE from https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/help/fix-brickloop-audio-fx-fc-efs-corrupt-t2879061 (you will find commands to backup mdemst1 and modemst2)
3- flash only persist using fastboot and reboot to system and check everything again.
other partitions locations :
/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 (fsg)
/dev/block/mmcblk0p15 (persist)

IDK what i did my opo was dead for around 3 months, the screen was responsive but totally black. then managed to recover from it then bricked it.
just figured it out. I am on my own build of XOSP[maybe it had problem idk] but had to flash my efs[64gig] backups and got my original imei back [earlier i had restored to a different imei qcn file may be it belonged to a 16gig opo] and also got 4g signal but still no baseband.
Then flashed COS13.1.2 and got baseband back, now the proximity is also working as it should and also got LTE working and instant signal on restarting the device. Now again back on XOSP everything works. If you need i can pm the efs files.

FYI your IMEI will be lost if you do so.
So I suggest to backup your partitions first in case of everything goes wrong.
Any way I have qualcomm stock efs partitions with 0 IMEI in case if you need them

IMEI is encrypted so if you do so, you will see it in settings but network carrier will receive it 0. This means that you won't get 4g also only 3g. So I personally prefer that you flash efs of [MENTION=bablu084;70545585]bablu084[/MENTION] this gonna work except you're two in the same country.

As I suspected, your IMEI was wiped out somehow during your process.
You need to restore your IMEI, there are several ways but the only method I can discuss with you is restoring IMEI from an IMEI backup, you obviously didn't create an IMEI backup so that method isn't going to help you. Any other method is not allowed to be discussed at XDA.
