[q] no base band after flashing - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello every body,
I have a little big problem, i flashed my samsung galaxy S with I900XWJM5 from samsung firmwares.com
And after flashing my phone loose his BASE BAND so i can not call anymore, i inserted my simcard but the phone don't detect it.
I checked phone information and discovered that BASE BAND VERSION was " unknown " !!!
I tried to flash back to original firmware the I9000JF3 but same thing. I tried to flash only the MODEM part but still samething.
I called samsung technical and they told me to check in ODIN the case " Re partition " and flash again. But in Odin when i cheked the case " repartion" the flash hangs on " don't plug off target "
I tried to flash with a new computer under win xp, but same thing i can not do " repartion " with Odin
My mobile is not simlocked when i bought it, is my phone network dead ? PLEASE CAN SOMEONE HELP ME ?

Did you try updating the firmware through Kites? Also, try flashing it again with ODIN, after selecting all the 3 files - modem, code and csc.

You need to try with "Re-partition." until it works.
Also make sure you are using a 512.pit file.

and do not forget to take ur battery off and put it back before you try to run ODIN...

You would have to do that to remove the SIM anyway.
Make sure you remove SIM and SDCARD.

Unrelated, but what is the reason for needing to remove the simcard (I have never done so)

Thank you every body for your help
befor this problem i use to flash with Odin 3 firmwares and had no problem.
But now i can not tick the case " Re partition " to solve the problem. I called samsung technical service and they told me to do a full " Re partition " and flash again.
The problem now is that i can't do repartition, because the flash hangs at " don't take off target" and nothing happen.
may be the phone had serious problem with memory, i had to sent back to samsung after service .
Thank you all

I have the same problem. I have flashed many times with different firmware versions, but it didn't work. My phone couldn't attach network, I couldn't see neither IMEI nor Baseband version.

try just flashing the modem file until it works
the modem file is what controls the radios

During the flash it may take the SIM as part of the hardware and ignore it once it's done flashing.
You'll have to reflash without the SIM to get it to work again.
It's not a real issue, but if you are failing with Odin I highly recommend sticking to those recommendations.

Also remove all usb devices other then phone, mouse and keyboard. Had heaps of flashing problems due to external hhds sucking power while flashing. Now works 90% of time for me. Next thing you do is find a xp box and try again.

I've got the same problem. I am able to get JM8/JM4 (Kernel 2.6.29 [email protected] #2), and then whenever I try to go Froyo (JPM or JP6) I always end up with baseband unknown I did remove the sdcard and sim card - still the same thing, is there any solution to that thing ?

NO signal after flashing with odin and sim inserted ! help!

So i reflashed my rom with odin but i forgot to take out the sim now the phone says no signal even when the sim is not inserted. I have tried to flash again with no luck.
Originally i was on jm5 i re flashed to JM2 (this time with repartition) but no i have no signal. Have i broken the phone?
anyone pls!
I had the same problem.
The youtube videos all tell you to only input the PDA file. After flashing only this, everytime I started up I wouldn't get a signal. I thought I had an expensive paperweight on my 1st day.
However, try flash ALL the files at the same time. CODE_XXX goes into PDA, then MODEM_XXX into PHONE, and CSC_XXX into CSC. Make sure they are all ticked, select re-partition, and set it going.
Be warned that some of the later firmwares are Russian, but once your SIM is in and recognised it should automatically change the language to English.
This fixed my problems, haven't been scared to flash since
If this doesn't work, you can always just flash the old PDA of JM5 back. That originally fixed the problem for me, before I had the guts to try it all over again.
It worked1 i love you.
I'm sorry to reactivate this topic, but i have the same issue as well. I tried flashing a stock rom on my SGS but after it was completed, i couldn't get ony my network (Orange). I tried also flashing Darky's 8.0 and still nothing. Even with Hy2teria's suggestion. I don't know what else to do.
Please help me!
Regards
LE: After removing BOTH the SIM card and the SD card, the phone connected to my network succesfully. FYI
I have the same problem,please my i9000 is brandeed tim italy no sim lock and i flashed the 3 files tim original froyo tim,other rom gingner stock hard reset not solved help me link for this rom...and procedure

thanks friend i flashed much rom stock and hard reset not solved
make sure via secret code *#06# if there´s an imei still showing, if so make sure it is the correct/original one. If the imei is not showing or it is a different one, you got a real big problem. I know of no solution in this case other than sending it in.
Hopefully you backed up the efs folder prior to flashing. If so, find nv_data.bin and drop it into the /efs folder found in the root directory of the internal sd card.
If you hadn´t backed up the efs do this: delete (!) the nv_data.bin and nv_data.bin.md5 in the /efs folder. In the same folder there should be 2 files with the same name and a .bak at the end. These are back ups, too, which will be restored after a reboot. If you are lucky the .bak-files aren´t corrupt yet and will restore the correct nv_data.bin.
Hope it works for you

Just restart your phone, that worked for me

i think i broke my phone :( help needed

hi all
i thought i would attempt to flash my samsung s with the new beta froyo update.
i followed this guys tutorial.
( cant link to it sorry its the noobs guide with detailed instructions through kies and odin)
i used the odin approach
i managed to root the phone.
on reboot it asked for an unlock code (o2 uk) so i went on to try and follow the steps about unlocking it. which neither worked all the way through the steps.
on reboot it appears to have signal and in the about section it says i am onnected to the o2 network but when i try to make a call is says "data network not available with an ok button, which when pressed will return you to the ome screen.
any help would be greatly appreciated thanks
Almost the same problem,
installed 2.2 update successfully, the phone worked for like 3-4 days very well and after that today i discovered "Emergency calls only"
so the question now is did i bought phone which later was reported stolen? or somehow i broke it?
Anyone have any idea?
hmmm, I have the same problem! In the status menu, the number is shown, but the network, says "unknown"
Hi! I have this exact same problem except I was unlocking my phone using this tutorial:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=906255
But I didn't back up my Efs folder, now my phone is unlocked but when I put a sim card in it I have very little network and when I try to make a call I get " NO DATA NETWORK AVAILABLE".
I've tried everything but I don't know what to do!
I was thinking of two ways to fix it:
1. Reinstall froyo (not quite sure how using the samsung software as my laptop oesn't recognised the phone as a pone)
2. Downgrade to, get unlock code using market app and then upgrade to froyo again.
I know I messed up but now I really need to fix this.
Can someone PLEASE PLEASE help me out.

might need to change the modem in odin i think. just heard about it
did u try restarting the phone... just a wild guess...
I had the same issue before and was puzzled. Its actually a very simple solution:
1. Re-lock your phone, search through xda there is a code you have to enter
2. Unlock your phone
All done! Surprisingly easy
Try the Odin method in block 2 back to Eclair if ok then upgrade to Froyo .
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=818556
However your non connection might be due to not flashing a firmware with your network settings in which case manual settings of APN .
If your IMEI has changed due to flashing and you did not back up your EFS folder then little hope but do a google / search of XDA as some have reported success .

Emergency calls only
I had a custom rom that was giving that to me too. I think it means that you can access a network different from your sim (because usually emerg calls can be made from any phone I think?).
I'd try and find a rom that is optimized for your carrier or at least a modem file from a stock rom that is for your carrier. You may also need to reselect the APN settings (or enter them for your carrier). Its under settings/wireless and network/Mobile networks/access point names (use the menu button to add an APN).
you could also try re downloading and flashing the rom to make sure that is the issue. Mine said it installed OK but never booted up, redownloaded and reflashed and then it was fine but the install screens looked identical.

Hi! Thank you so much for everyone's replies!
My IMEI isn't changed and someone helped me check my efs files and they are all ok. I'm going to try and reflash froyo through the samsung software to see if the network lock comes back and then try to unlock again. For this I'm going to unroot the phone and follow samsungs' instructions.
I'm afraid to relock the phone as there are reports that say it completely messes everything up!
But I'll keep you guys posted! Wish me luck!!!!
PS. Any other suggestions are more than welcome!
So, a quick update on my situation.
I uninstalled busybox and unrooted my phone using the oneclick root tool.
Did a factory format and, surprise surprise, my phone now works perfectly!
Apart from the fact that it doesn't connect to kies, but that's a whole another issue!
Tank you so much to all of you who answered my cry for help!

Samsung I9000 doesnt recognize sim card

Hi everybody.
I got this weird problem with my cellphone. I have an international I9000. after factory reset my phone doesnt recognize sim anymore. I tried it with other sims too but my efforts were not successful. I tried flashing with other roms but again nothing happened. what am I supposed to do now? have you ever had the same problem?
Manual setting of network details or a new sim .
jje
Hi I had the same problem with my I9000 might be a different cause but its worth a try. Iv had it in tje past with other phones so I apolagise if I start abit basic but I dont know how tech savy you are not to nention we all sometimes overlook the basics.
first the basics. if you havnt already done any of there.
clean your sim, wipe the contacts clean then use a dry cloth or tissue and ensire it is dry. while the sim is out take a look at the sim slot check the pins are in the correct position so they are streght and not too far inside the housins to contact the sim properly.
if all is clean and good and it still dosnt work i would reccomend testing your sim in anothere phone even if locked most phones will at least say 'sim rejected' , 'wrong sim' or something along the lines also if possible test another sim in your I9000.
Now the gritty bit if your sim workes it is most likely 1 of 2 things soft wear or hardwear which is why I asked to check the pins above if it is hardwear and the pins look ok I cant help but bellow it a solution to softwear caused problems. in my case the cause was a corrupt modem file it can also be caused by a mismatch between the modem,csc and PDA files you can check your file versions *#1234# i cant tell you which pda goes with which modem but im sure it can bd found.
solutions to softwear issues. the easy way is to use kies if you rom is can be updated or if you can trick kies into updating. the other more risky way is to use ODIN I down loaded a stock XXJPO with seperat csc modem and pit then used kies to update to XXJPY but it wotked again as soon as ODIN flashed the XXJPO.
In short use ODIN to reflash a rom ensure you use the full 3/4 file method there are only 2 differand pit files but use correct MODEM, CSC and PDA i found myne in the genral section

No Sim Detected LG Optimus 2x :(

Hi
My phone suddenly stopped detecting all sim cards ( I have tried various working sims ).
It is running CM 7.2 and has been running cm 7.2 for a few months with no problems.
Today I took out the sim and put it back in to reboot, all was fine. I went to shower, came back and the sim suddenly stopped being detected.
I have tried to google but it seems most problems are to do with flashing a new rom and having the sim not work, my case is that the rom has been the same for a few months.
I have tried to flash different roms and I still have the same problem. I have a gut feeling it is the hardware that reads the sim that is faulty.
I have read something about a baseband, I dont know what that is but if it helps, when i go to the settings and click on 'about phone'
It says there is a baseband and it is version something. There are no question marks or anything like that.
I appreciate the help and would love some more troubleshooting suggestions.
The worst case scenario is unrooting it, flashing stock rom and send it back to warranty. I actually don't know how to do that so if anyone has a guide lying around please link me on that.
I have similar problem with new boot loader.
Download getril app from play store and see if your baseband is OK. If not, download and flash matching baseband from development thread. You will loose all personal data and your apps after flashing. Then download new ril with getril and reboot. Good luck...
This method was no helpful for me. Maybe you will have better luck.

Thanks for the reply,
When I first opened getril, it said RIL not found, I did not have one. I downloaded one and then it said RIL does not match. I then redid it on another firmware and it now says RIL and Baseband matches. Is this enough? The only weird thing is the baseband has canada and europe in it. I am from Australia. How do i tell which baseband/ril I need?

You can flash as much as you want, none of that will help. Had same issue once, flashed almost everything there was through SmartFlash, NVflash and all of that. This is what you need to do:
First, remove the battery from your phone. Write down the IMEI. Now boot up your phone, write *#06# and see if the IMEI that pops up is the same as the one you saw behind the battery. If not, let us know and I'll hand you the solution, but first check if the IMEI matches.

I checked the IMEI and it matches.
I have some extra information if it helps, when I choose a random RIL from getril, the battery might become a ? mark and the sim card not detected error doesnt show anymore, however when I put it back to the original RIL, my battery bar starts showing the 'power left' and also the sim not detecting error shows again.

I get the SIM Toolkit Incompatible Handset error and then whether I press OK or Cancel, shortly after I lose mobile network access. I've been trying all manner of different things, Smart Flashing, NVflashing, changing basebands, Rils, you name it.
I'm currently on the V30B root ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2064793 and the Ril matches the baseband from that ROM, but that hasn't helped either. So I went and check the in phone and behind battery IMEI and they are different! I'd love to hear what your solution to this is!

IMEI Solution
If IMEI does NOT match, you will need to do this:
Check if you can get in a menu by typing 1809#*990#. If you can't, you will need to use a GB ROM (I remember I used Homero's GB NVFlash as I was on ICS bootloader and couldn't get access to it on ICS). Follow these steps if you are sure you can get into the menu:
1) Connect your phone by USB.
2) Enter 1809#*990# in dialer.
3) Select Port Setting -> Select CP USB
4) Install a program called Hyperterminal on your PC and open it. In COM settings select same port as in device manager -> LGE Mobile USB Seial Port (should be 115200)
5) Type at%imei and it should respond by saying OK
6) Now type at%imei and it should now display your current IMEI number.
7) Type at%imei=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX where X is your original IMEI number.
8) Reset phone.
You might have to reboot your phone after step 3. But see if it works without.
I have been thinking that this is a hardware issue, I have not changed a single setting/rom/baseband at all, the sim just wasnt detecting when I came back to my phone. The rom and settings were the same for a number of months.
I am now going to give it in to warranty, however it only has 1 month left. I have tried to install the stock firmware but with no luck..
I found a rom to flash for my region, it is a zip file but when I try flash it with Clockworkmod, it says installation aborted....
Shouldnt I be able to flash the roms with CWM? The file is a zip file just like the CM7.2 rom I flashed. Do I need nvflash instead? I found the rom here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1852112 (the download links were removed so I googled the exact same rom)
I was also told that if I just use the LG update tool, it sohuld automatically update the phone to stock firmware AND unroot it, only that the update tool gives me an error. Whats the best approach guys?? I need to get this fixed before my warranty goes.

Your imei should not show in settings, it should show in the back of your battery and when you dial : *#06# into the phone (where you dial numbers for calls).
Cant help you with baseband.
OP here, I am trying to unroot my phone and put stock firmware to get warranty to fix the simcard reader ( i believe it is a hardware issue ).
If I use nvflash and flash any stock firmware I can find on the internet, will that be OK? I have a feeling each region of optimus 2x has slight differences in firmware, eg swedish stock roms and australian stock roms may differ in the default applications etc.
Will it be ok to just install any kind of stock rom for my warranty? Help would be appreciated my warranty is running out in less than a month now.
I also tried to flash stock firmware with CMW, it didnt work. I am about to try NVflash, so I went into greater detail in page 1 but no one replied yet. If you guys know please help. I am more familiar with CMW than NVflash. I have not used NVflash yet.
hahah after 2 sleeples nights i menage to restore my sim to be recognize ,whit this metod,.. NFlash rulles ))

this is also the best metod for unbricking your phone, .
INSTALLATION:
ATTENTION
The flasher with NVFlash clears all memory, including the Internal SD., so make a backup if u can..
Download this file: http://bayfiles.com/file/yKZL/eGZ31A/driver.rar The pack includes the APX driver (folder driver)

1.- Remove the battery to the phone.
2.- Press and hold Vol- and Vol+ and without releasing the 2 keys connect the USB cable to the PC
3.- Go to the progmaq-default-cm-10-20121105 folder and run flash icon... folow instruction., wait wait wait Enjoy!

I managed to get an old CM7 install back on the p990,but the above is still not working for me :/
After I finish typing in 1809#*990# in dialer, nothing happens. If I press the green phone handset icon to dial that number it comes up with an error message of "Mobile network not available".
Any further advice? Thanks.
Okay, I failed at reading comprehension – it has to be an LG Gingerbread ROM for this code to work, NOT a CM-based one!
Trying one from somewhere-I-cannot-link-to-yet
Success! Once I was back on the original stock LG Gingerbread ROM, I could reset the IMEI and make/receive calls again using this method. Thank you very much!
Now all flashed back onto a nice "working" nightly CM10.1 and a very happy little device.
Many thanks all.
Hi,
Anyone have a working link to "progmaq-default-cm-10-20121105 ". My Optimus 2x has been bricked as well, and can't find any other version of this on Google unfortunately
Appreciate all help.

HELPP!!!! Searching..

I keep getting searching on my signal when i put my sim card in but it has bars... How do I fix this? And it keeps saying to register to network and when i do it says its not available..
Hey
Have you checked your IMEI number to make sure the phone is not blacklsited? Dial *#06# and then input that number into www.swappa.com/esn and or www.checkesnfree.com and hat'll tell you.
If you need help with anything and find out you're black listed (which it sounds like you are) or just have questions feel free to Message me.

My IMEI is not blocked...
Could be a damaged NV file. If you're clean imei and everything that would typically indicate damaged software to me. Have you tried flashing stock firmware to the phone? That might help repair the damage, afterwards perform a factory reset and wipe cache. A .qcn file written over a smart card usually fixes those connectivity issues. Just some ideas.

It is a 910T which means its for T-Mobile and I have T-Mobile, it has signal bars but no service it says searching the whole time and this happens everywhere i go and it does not catch anything. I have odin flashed, I have done a modem flash but still nothing works.
I know you're saying your IMEI isn't blocked, but did you 100% check here?

The first thing I'd do is ODIN to restore to 100% stock ( I know you've done it but I'd do it again.. make sure you put it in download mode with the 3 button combo, not any other way.) on the stock rom, do you have this issue?

Been on stock to fix this issue but nothing has worked.. There obviously no other way to odin the phone unless if its in download mode which i did.. I'm thinking hard ware issues
Did you do a nandroid by any chance? I had the same issue when I flashed a Rom, it corrupted my IMEI, nothing worked until I restored from my backup..
Were did you get this device??
