[A] how to fix no network signal after unlocking

i know some of you have this problem and worries that something wrong happend during the process of unlocking your phone. well that's the same thing i was thinking about 3 days now and trying to figure it out how to fix this. i just a noobie here and new for all this android thingy but i guess im just lucky fixing it.
by reading again the thread of how to unlock. it mention there that your phone might have a sim lock. this might be the problem so i search some thread related to this and guess what a found the answer!
now here's how to fix it.
1. after unlocking your phone using msm7227_setool2. check if you have network signal so you won't do the step 2 of this thread.
2. now if there's no signal, open again your msm7227 folder (which is the unlock bootloader tool) and you will see there's another tool which is ms7227_semc.
3. put to debugging mode then connect your usb to your PC.
4. run the ms7227_semc and wait till it done.
5. reboot your phone and you already have network signal again.
i hope that this help you specially for those who are new to this kind of stuff..

it really work....thx a lot..my phone have the signal back again...

U mean that it supposed to have a weak signall,or no signal at all?

you may try it too. but most of the time after unlocking have no signal at all because of the sim-Lock.

@mhieyato : if unlocking using msm7227_setool2 i put to debugging mode or NOT, if not to put debugging mode that tools can't running or stuck in " getting ROOT rights"...
Please explain step by step master...

As a wild guess I'd say you're not on Stock Kernel/ROM but some custom kernel/ROM.
Restore back to Stock Kernel/ROM.
EDIT: Oh wait, you're from the Unlocking Guide ... *should ID nicknames first*
Well, this can now be interesting to see if you can manage to unlock the boot loader again with nAa's Kernel flashed - as there's also no way to go back to Stock Kernel (through Flashtool, PCC, SEUS) while the boot loader is locked. :s

it works!
thanks a lot!

hi, i have a question about this fix, i unlocked a Xperia X8 (E15a) with octopus suite and then ''no service'' this post work for me? thanks for your help.

yey it worked for me.. after 1 year of giving up on my xperia, i found this post then i thoght why not give it a shot.. then boom it worked.. thanks for the post ^_^

Wow!! Thanks you have saved my phone from "no service" this thingy

yeah it really works!
I was about to put my phone in my garbage, thanks

Hiya guys,
I'm new to the Sony side of things, I'm usually a HTC user but my mother has just got herself an X8 E15i and I am having a few problems with it and was hoping people could help?
firstly, I rooted, UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER, flashed a custom kernel (X8_v08a-cm7_Alfs_djnilse) & GingerZaraki-v05.
Then I had no signal at all, so I thought "ok, flash a newer baseband to attempt fix"
but alas, no joy.
I have then accidently relocked the bootloader :faceplant:
This has now caused her to have no signal... oops... arn't us teenagers great
and then I have read HERE that it is fixable, and I have followed the steps listed but I still can not get signal.
every time I run either script msm7227_semc.cmd OR msm7227_setool2.cmd they both get root, reboot, but still can not get signal.
EDIT: copy of cmd results...

its obviously gettting root, but what does 'protocol fault: no status' mean?
and I know that the bootloader is locked because I have used "x8toolbox.final" which I found on here - I would give the maker of it the credit but can not remember who it was.
So at present my mother has a x8 e15i, running 2.1.1 but can't have signal at all??
EDIT1: please help or I think I am in trouble here...
EDIT2: Doesn't matter now guys, after soft-bricking and Hard-bricking (attempted bootloader unlock fail) the X8, I have resurrected it!
and I have successfully rooted (4th time tonight) and now I have flashed GingerDX, which is running great with the GingerDX O/C Kernel

and thanks for sharing your technical experiences

Well for Omnius sim unlock problem you have the answer here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1911915

Did not unlock bootloader but have 3 phones with same issues
In response to what you said, I have 3 Xperia X8's with the same issue but all were unrooted using superoneclick and then loaded gingerdx on them. They worked fine for about 2 months then on all 3 phones (friends) one by one they ended up accidentally putting their sim unlock pin code into the network unlock code thing that pops up on the gingerdx rom and all ended up with no signal at all.. I dont have seTool 2 pro only lite and i cant find any way to get the phone fixed. i live in southern Africa so limited resources etc.. PLEASE HELP

Dan Rosenbergs root method.

Dan Rosenberg finaly got a root method for our o3d phones which might work on the OB. My gf is out of town so I have no ob to test on but feel free to try and post your results here. All credits go to Dan. Here is the file. You need latest lg drivers. Unnzip connect phone in USB debug mode and execute the run.bat file. Dan says it is not 100% guaranteed to work. But worst case scenario you need to reflash fw. It HAS worked however on all o3d versions of fw so far. Here is Dan's page to donate if it works for u and feel like donating. http://vulnfactory.org/blog/2012/02/26/rooting-the-lg-thrill-optimus-3d/

haha I was searching for gps tricks yesterday and I saw that just before leaving. I will test for sure

doesn't work. access denied. even if I change block 7 to 8.

By Pressing "THANKS" You Will Help Me .

hi thankyou for replying. basically all im able to do is get into apx mode (nvflash), stupidly i decided to test the thing that i found where the phones with the unlockable bootloaders(23400) could use the chinese kdz v20a and id stumbled across that we could apparently unlock the bootloader. although we had the it saying it was unlocked we had the problem of the system acting otherwise, so i dumbingly thought right if its not actually unlocked i shouldnt be able to remove the bootloader and done the command fastboot erase bootloader and now am stuck in this position
i have backups of of the main partitions( APP and SOS LNX) ect but not sure if useful) and the problem is currently im getting usb write failed with nvflash
i cannot boot into s/w mode or recovery although sometimes i can connect to my pc and it says that a usb composite device cannot start
thankyou for replying i deeply appreciate it

There are at least two ways to get into SW, with or without battery. Did you tried both? Pressing vol+ instead of vol- gives you another mode, you tried? Try them all after re-install the drivers and with LGFlash Tool. Select all ports and see if you have communication.

hmm... as I know you full-bricked your device ...
you need to enter download mode by an external action (from PC) using ''usbboot.exe'' to load two files that will turn on your phone into download mode by the command :-
Code:
usbboot <2ndstage> <image>
for example (for LG-P920 (LG Optimus 3D)) :-
Code:
usbboot p920-aboot.2nd p920-u-boot_fastboot.bin
then flash the bootloaders :-
Code:
fastboot flash x-loader x-loader.img
fastboot flash u-boot u-boot.img
this will force the phone into download mode or fastboot . by fastboot flash bootloader and by download mode flash *.DZ system .
but the problem is ...
we don't have these two files (*.2nd & *.bim or *.img) those are nessesery for this process .
I don't have the skill to port/make/compile them ..
Try contact a good Tegra 3 Developer so every CPU family has its own files to boot .
If your device was from OMAP44xx family I could help you because the files are exist , but Tegra 3 ... it's a little new .
Good Luck

there is some u-boot.img and x-loader.img for the p880 here in the forums.i have my normal boot.img ect and even the contents of sys and the dev folder alll backed up also back nandroid backups if any of them would be useful.
thankyou OS_HACKING you have at least give me something that i can look into and a glimmer of hope. if i manage to fix it i need to learn to not meddle with the phone and leave any hacking to the pro's. really gutted as my phone is like my right arm,its with me 24/7 and im usually always on it.. ive had to use my old acer a500 of my daughter for now and its such a big change
@RuedasLocas
yeah mate ive tried both methods, the only thing apart from apx mode is occassionally it says there is a device that cannot start when connected to pc,.thankyou also mate i appreciate help from you both

In mine (V20A), APX doesn't work.
It was already hard to do something in V10x, in V20A the device is not even recognized...
Probably the best change will be using (or try it) LGFlash Tool or Official B2CApp to flash a V10x version, and probably the best
will be a V10A.
Don't forget to check if you're using the correct .dll.
Check if you have the latest drivers:

http://www.4shared.com/file/ZSMf2x6n/LGUSBModemDriver_Eng_WHQL_Ver_.html7
Goog luck on that. :fingers-crossed:

my pc finds it in apx and installs the drivers , also i can get it too recognise there is a device there for nvflash, i think that i would have to use Wheelie along with nvflash. when ive tried one way to revive my phone with nvflash it stated that the partition couldnt be found. which i guess is because im using the flash.bct and flash.cfg from ICS Bootloader which was extracted a while ago, il need to get them from the jb bootloader
ive got the u-boot.img and x-loader from our phones if they are needed
if not i guess il just have to save money to buy another 4x hd.i cannot see myself loving a phone as much as i like the 4x
thankyou

ive done some more looking around and trying different things, and it seems to even have the chance to get anywhere il need the following extracted from jb, the flash.cfg and the BCT and bootloader.bin. i found an nvflash that didnt give me the unknown device error but it stopped at it couldnt find the partitions mentioned the current partition table i was using(it was from ICS which i think some partitions was named different

And how can I extract that?
You tried ADB? Maybe (if it works of course) pushing those unsecure img to unlock the EUR-XXX can bring it to life somehow...
I'm really out of ideas.
I tried APX with several drivers but the only thing I got was a bluescreen and a computer crash... device remains unknown

I think that nvflash for our phone needs some encryption keys (SBK keys) and AFAIK nobody has founded what they are so far. They may be Imei or sn dependant. So I think you can't use nvflash and maybe its better to send device to LG service if you can.

thats what wheelie is for, also id have thought that if the bootloader could be erased from within fastboot wihtout an sbk and, which isnt as low level as nvflash wouldnt it be different,
remember i dont have a bootloader thats signed with an sbk or communicates to the fuse, i know that on the transformer (tegra 3) they had the work around of something to do with wheelie

from what ive read when you fully unlock your bootloader like yours its possible that theyve blocked nvflash, mine was done with the chinese kdz and i had it saying unlocked in fastboot getvar all but it wasnt saying unlock in S/W or within android its self
i think skydev managed to extract the bct ect from the bootloader so il ask him if he still has them or if not then how to extract them
ive managed to get the bootloader.bin. i think i should able to progress when i have the others, adb doesnt also work mate, as the bootloader is at the very beguinning of all processes except nvflash
could you look and see what your odm files say, they are in sys/firmware/fuse/ i think, thankyou
another thing that il look into is someone mentioned about enabling jtag or write access by bridging two points inside the phone, this would obviously be the last thing when all else fails i just need to look in the lg service pdf for the schematics

thankyou mate, as i said from when i first come to the lg 4x part of xda forums, your a good bloke, always helping people as much possible
after some more thinking,im struggling to understand why if the bootloader was unlocked could we not use unsecured boot and dexters cwm on the chinese kdz, and why was it saying unlocked in fastboot getvar all but saying locking in android and no unlocked text in S/W mode
what else apart from the bootloader can give the error of boot image signature error, and if the bootloader wasnt unlocked would it be possible to physically delete it, or could it have told whatever was saying it was unlocked that its erased while its actually not been but all link to it erased

i mananged to find my sys folder which i copied to my pc and noticed a difference in our odm_reserved files, which i think is to do with bootloaders
yours is
0x00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000040000000c0

not sure exactly what that means but strange

Probably will be enough the correct driver for APX mode on v20a, than with nvflash try to rollback whatever you made.

[Q] razr i problems - fastboot menu

Hi guys, I am having an issue i cant seem to resolve on my razr i. apologies if this has already been covered in another thread (or 10, which is usually the way with these things because nobody reads the other threads) I have been through a load of other threads but cannot seem to resolve my issue so i started my own.
Right, I have switched from iphone to razr and am not stupid when it comes to jailbreaking etc so thought rooting the razr wouldnt be a problem. when trying to root it it failed and i am stuck at the fastboot menu, however, everything on the menu is disabled so i cant use it. i get the usual message:
fastboot reason: flash failure
fastboot max download size: 100mb
usb connected
if i try to use anything on the menu i get the following message:
fastboot menu disabled.
my phone is not unlocked and not rooted. i have barely done anything to it other than install a couple of free apps. i am unable to progress past this screen. the phone is GB and is on 4.0.4
any help you guys can give would be greatly appreciated. again, apologies if this has already been covered, none of the solutions i found were able to resolve my issue. as i said, i had no problems jailbreaking my old iphone, i am a bit of a n00b when it comes to droids...

Had the same problem, I used the recommendation in this thread, 5th post and it worked, but afterwards need to re-download apps from PlayStore:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=36612151
Follow the instructions exactly - you need the drivers and RSD lite on Windows PC, then connect the phone via usb cable that came with it; and you'll need a full unzip program (cost) so you can move the unzipped files into RSD lite. Get the right flash file though - there's a list in the linked post if you don't want GB retail which I used. Important: this only works for ICS 4.0.4 and don't try to downgrade to an earlier version than what's currently on your phone e.g. v.39 to v.31, for example.
Good luck.

AW: [Q] razr i problems - fastboot menu
If the solution from mervluk does not work (It didn't work for me either) , you should try if you are able to use the fast boot commands .
To do that simply connect your phone to the PC. Then download fast boot , if you do not already have that. It is in the .zip from the RAZR I root thread.
The go to the downloaded folder. There hold shift and perform a right mouse click. Then choose" start a command prompt here "or something similar (don't know how the option is called in English).
Then type in
fastboot reboot
When the phone reboots you might be able to unlock your phone and flash the software.
BUT BE AWARE! YOU WILL LOSE YOUR WARRANTY!!
So you better try the other solution first. This should be your last option.
If you don't know how to unlock the bootloader look in the RAZR I forum or pn me .

Had the same problem, I used the recommendation in this thread, 5th post and it worked, but afterwards need to re-download apps from PlayStore:

Follow the instructions exactly - you need the drivers and RSD lite on Windows PC, then connect the phone via usb cable that came with it; and you'll need a full unzip program (cost) so you can move the unzipped files into RSD lite. Get the right flash file though - there's a list in the linked post if you don't want GB retail which I used. Important: this only works for ICS 4.0.4 and don't try to downgrade to an earlier version than what's currently on your phone e.g. v.39 to v.31, for example.
Good luck.

Glad about that. This phone can be a bit of a so-and-so. ics is being updated ota to Jelly Bean 4.1.2, which I've avoided so far to keep fm (although not activated on the supplied software). I did succeed with unlocking the bootloader (loose warranty - important) following the whole complicated procedure on Moto's website - but couldn't myself use the shortcuts on here. (Then had to set up again and re-download everything from the PlayStore). It required the Moto-supplied key. I then rooted, though I think the JB ota download unroots again? You can't use RSD lite with JB.
With JB the procedures are different, and a modified JB European (not for use with GB) firmware is now available on another thread which is impressing some posters. But I think just be a bit cautious as there does not appear to be any fix for the "service code corrupt" bootloader error yet. Looks like the options are very restricted whilst no-one understand the interaction between Google Android and the intel atom chipset.
I have a network unlock key from one of the commercial suppliers (cellunlocker.net), but haven't needed to try and use it yet!

[Q] Phone has lost its IMEI number!!

My phone has no network and it says no sim card. After further investigation it appears that this is because the IMEI number has just gone, it doesnt exist on the phone. It is standard I have never changed software so have no idea how this could happen. Tried factory reset but nothing works. Any ideas greatly appreciated.

Flash it to stock.
Root it
Install es explorer or any root explorer
Install hex editor
In es explorer go to efs folder in root
Open nv_data.bin in hex editor
Goto position 00188020 and check. .

Try to pull dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/NVA
Open with text editor.
Check if imei is stored.
This partition is recreated on flashing dz/kdz. I am not sure if IMEI is read from here. If you give email i will send you my NVA partition to compare. Don't post it or people will see your IMEI

Thanks for your guidance...I have tried both option but it get stuck in middle somewhere and not able to flash the kdz file.
So at this moment LG Mobile support tools not able to cross 10% in firmware update process and stops due to some error.
With KDZ update tools, same situation....and device can connect to adb terminal no other recovery mode options.
So using adb terminal is there any chances to do some fix ?
I think I have currupted my boot loader during installation of third party recovery software without doing boot loader unlock option.
Please guide or suggest any other try.....
Thanks

It was happened like......the phone was working ok with latest official updates V20A and suddenly lost the IMEI number so Mobile network also. After some try finally I have done factory reset..but it was not working as expected...some time it has shown IMEI but lost also...tried many time factory reset but not worked...so tried with LG Mobile repair under upgrade and recovery option but it was failing at 10 % everytime. So thought lets intall new ROM so decided to install cyanogonmod so for preparation rooted phone and installed CWM recovery ....as doing all this first time so may be forgot to unlock the bootloader so after installation of CWM recovery phone has not booted and also not going to recovery menu. After that under upgrade mode tried to burn KDZ file using LG mobile support tool but that also not working.
So now the situation is, the can only go in to firmware update mode and some time getting connected to adb terminal.
So now is there any change of BL repair through adb terminal or the only option remain is visit LG support....?
Please guide....
Thanks,

Did you downloaded the files??
Install Drivers and follow the steps properly,
this should work for you to keep connected,
One more thing run drivers and flashtool as administrator, I already PM you.
Still having problems, please let me know.
If your phone is still not booting, I am afraid that you bricked it.
Good Luck
