Vivid_No mobile Network, blank IMEI

:crying::crying::crying:
After I got my Vivid, I upgraded my vivid to ICS from RUU on htc.com, and had no problems at all using for more than 4 weeks with HTCDev unlocked, root and S-OFF. I decided to use custom ROM and installed Marine_Blue_WhiteBase_HOLIICS.zip theme for holics mistaking it for the ROM without wiping data/cache/dalvik/battery stats and without making a backup, then my phone boots and gets stuck at "Android is upgrading" Starting Applications... and rebooted a number of times without success.
I racked up everywhere to solve the Android is upgrading issue but found only SGS II related solutions and suggestions to install ROM afresh.
I made a backup of this just incase I find a solution later, wiped data/cache/dalvik/battery stats, then installed kozmikkernel RC2 and Virtuous Inquisition ROM. Everything went fine but no mobile network. I rebooted a couple of times, reinserted sim, tried another sim all to no avail. I found out it could be a problem with IMEI and did *#06# and got blank IMEI ("IMEI ").
I relocked bootloader and flashed stock ROM, and I'm still getting blank IMEI when I check *#06#.
Please help....
EDIT: I know now that the problem is with the RIL or probably radio library files...but I just can't figure out what to do yet. Also this problem is with SGSII and HOX (HTC One X)... But I'm wondering why on earth I'm the only Vivid user with this...

Try checking your apn settings .Go into settings,mobile network,network operator,search network hopefully that will help.

I've tried search network a couple of times and I get "Error while searching for networks"

Try setting apn manually maybe that will work

I have tried all these with no success... Since the IMEI is blank when I type *#06#, I don't think the problem is with the settings, I'm afraid I might have wiped some config that has to do with the phone's radio... Please help!!!, this phone is barely 2 months old!

Try contacting the juopunutbear s-off devs..if they can apply engineering hboot they should be able to walk u thru adb commands to reflash the imei manually..but only if u know what it was to begin with. If of course that's actually what's wrong.

Have you tried to just run a ruu and start from fresh? Its certainly not a normal situation that you lost your imei number just from flashing a rom/theme.

Thanks @kevsthabest, I'm on that right now... I was initially flashing ICS Ruu , but the phone was shipped with GB so I'm downloading GB and will flash soon, I hope this works and will let you guys know if it does...:fingers-crossed:

Problem a solvo!!!...
I eventually flashed stock GB and IMEI was still blank with no mobile network, so I switched off the phone for a while to relax and admit the problem can't be solved.
Then I touched the power button by mistake and when the phone came up, BINGO, it brought my network.
I checked IMEI and Baseband and everything is up and good!!!
I lost count of how many times and stuffz I've flashed to get this thing back, but then I have the knowledge
Thanks guys...

Good! Very happy for your success !

Guys, I installed custom ROM (wiped before) and the baseband is gone again. I repeated what I did to solve it the first time, but no luck this time.
I know the problem is directly related with the RIL, but I'm not sure if the radio.img can't be found or can't be loaded or if there are no library files (from research).
I'd appreciate any help...
[EDIT]
I seem to have found what caused this!!!
I racked up all I could about baseband and saw THIS.
I checked getprop ro.baseband, got N/A as usual, so I did setprop ? and it gave me the syntax,
then I did setprop ro.baseband 3.26.5XXX (<--- mainver: in android-info.txt in RUU.zip) and did a reset and my mobile network is back, and brought my IMEI and baseband with it and everything is cool.
I'll update to ICS, play with the network to see if it has come to stay, do same with Holics ROM and then I'll mark this thread as solved and go to bed .
I'll also let the SGSII guys know if it'll help them, when I wake up

HOw can I download Official gingerbread ROM

My best advice to you would be to flash the stock RUU for the carrier you are on and then see if that fixes it. Other than that I am not sure of anyone else that has had this isse aside from one other that fixed his with a flash of the stock GB RUU for his phone.

Hmm that may be an issue. I am not even sure you can flash an RUU without a windows machine. I would start looking around google to find out and if not start seeing about using a friends computer

Look for the IMEI on the box and try to enter it Maybe the method for the AT&T galaxy S III will also work for you.

how do I do it manualy?

As far as I know...there is no way to delete the imei on an HTC (unlike Samsung's that have it located in the eds folder in root) from what I've read its kept in its own partion that no app or file explorer can access...
Here's my advice...download the stock rooted rom, flash it
If you can find a pc to use then use a ruu (yet another reason why I hate macs and apple all together-programs either are programmed for them last or not at all)

Unless your s-off, you need to by a new computer so you can fastboot a boot.IMG or learn how to do it on your g4.

No sim card problem

Hi i did a search for the problem but none of the other threads with this title matched my problem.
I'm hoping someone can help i rooted and unlocked the bootloader on my x8 and put on ginger DX about 2 months ago and it's been working great.
just for info I didn't flash any custom kernel
So to my problem i tried to send a text message earlier tonight and i wouldn't send. my phone appeared to have no signal. I moved about in the house trying to get a signal no joy. So i rebooted my phone when it came back on it said there was no sim card!
Thinking something had gone wrong with the rom I tried a full wipe through xrecovery to no avail so i then did a repair with PCC.
However my phone still says No sim card
anyone know of any other steps i can take to fix my phone?
if it's beyond me fixing it I'm with O2 and have insurance will they be able to tell that i rooted and unlocked the bootloader and is that likely to invalidate my insurance??
Thanks in advance

I had the same problem. did you use this guide HERE?
If not do the whole guide following his instructions.
or
If you did go to the bottom of the first post and look at common issues. One of them is sim is not recognised. All you have to do is use the other unlock tool.
You will have it fixed in no time!
Please thank me if you appreciate my effort to try and fix this problem.

I wasn't trying to re unlock my bootloader i just wanted my sim to be recognised, but if i reunlock it is it likely to be recognised?
I didn't use this guide when i originally unlocked my bootloader i used x8toolbox

Have you tried inserting the sim to other fone and see if it works? or try using different sim and see if the fone recognize it.
Im guessing your sim card was damage.

now just need to unroot the phone and lock the bootloader before i ring O2
Thanks for everyone's replies and i'll try to put my threads in the right forum next time

You did not unlock the bootloader properly. There was a bug. if sim is working before and not working afterward. Baddaman54 is right. you need to follow the guide and troubleshooters notes. Even though this has been solved I will make this post so that if someone comes here with the same problem they can see all solutions.

I didn't follow that guide at all, as posted earlier i used x8toolbox and i ran the s1 tool which seemed to indicate it was unlocked fine
But i did it about 2 months ago. The phone and sim's been ok all this time running GingerDX with stock kernel.
it appears the sim is damaged not sure how it happened though.

[Q] IMEI gone to generic...

Yesterday I flashed the JB rom by Crash (oh, ze irony). It worked for an hour, but then it rebooted and hung at the Samsung logo at boot. When going in to CWM i saw that the /efs could not be found, and I dont have a backup of my efs folder.
After trying nearly everything today, i cant seem to get my own IMEI back. First it was empty, now its the generic one (0049****). Currently im back on GB because i cant get on my mobile network with ICS or JB with the generic IMEI.
I tried most of the tutorials to get it back, tried the GSII_Repair tool, none of them seem to work.
I also tried the .nv/.nv.bak removal/backupping/replacing, but that doesnt seem to help either. Problem in some tutorials is that i have to move the imei folder and the .nv_data file, both of which are not present in my /efs folder.
Can anyone help me out? The phone runs stable and fine now under GB (with the generic IMEI it can work with GB apparently), but i would really like to go to ICS again

You can use (I have a developer IMEI and I use this workaroung right now.) it with ICS or JB. After a reboot you have to change the pin number. After this you'll get your network connection. That was one reason why I used GB a long time - but today I switched to JB (eybee) and had to use this way.

I dont think i really understand you. Under ICS i cant use it, because my network doesnt allow me to sign on. Under GB it does, but id rather just have ICS or JB and my own IMEI...

if you didnt make efs backup your screwed. And no nandroid doesnt back it up. No titanium backup also doesnt.
You need samsung to fix it for you, or get someone, cvxcvx, to that, if you can prove the phone is yours...
you learned the hard way.
I really think all rom makers should have in their first post a line that says back dafuq efs up first.
Anyway, the 49 is not developers, it is test emei, and yea its banned in some countries so if, like in Uk they decide to update banned imei list, you wil lose service.

IMEI Problem (0049...)

hello guys ,
I have a big problem with imei.. I was using my phone normally , i installed the samsung official jb firmware with odin, everything was fine , then after 2 hours my phone shuted down. I opened it again and see that there is no sim card and there is no lock screen page.. I search it very very much and handled the lockscreen issue but couldnt fix the my imei problem at all. I tried a lot of way to fix it but no chance.
now I have an imei like 0049...
is there anyone to help me here?

You lost your original IMEI and you have a "developer" IMEI now.
If you made a backup of your /efs partition before you might be able to restore it (please search for threads handling this yourself).
If you do not have a backup - bad luck (I myself have a Note like this).
Starting with ICS and JB there is a check for the IMEI in android.policy.jar. If you have a 0049... no luck.
You can try to change your SIM Pin (old one can be equal to new one) - this can activate your SIM card.
Alternative: an old android.policy.jar from an early leaked Samsung release...
