[Q] Unknow baseband and no IEMI help please..... - LG Optimus Black

Hi I am a newbie here.....first time trying to do this. I was trying to root and install custom rom on my OB. I had 2.3.4 with v20c version and I rooted using rom converter (I picked a v20c patch) and smartflash. After booting into custom recovery, I installed from SD card: superuser zip, the latest avartar rom and G apps. Everything looks good untill I found out the phone does not read sim card anymore..... and there is no baseband version or IEMI number, not even serial numbers. I tryed to flash just the v30 fls, but nothing has changed. The sim card is good, I put it into another phone and it works. Oh, I know I am stupid for not backing up any files before I started doing all these. Please help......

Hi itamarsea, have you tried checking settings/wireless and networks/mobile networks/access point names
check if your settings are stored for 3 network.
Or check settings/ about phone/ status/ IMEI
check that IMEI number is still the same.
re setting
imei-unknown
network-unknown
imei sv-unknown
phone no-unknown
Type
*#06*
in dialer and see what number comes up.
Also what firmware are you on, jv1?
Type in *#1234# for firmware info.
It could just be a corrupt install. Iv flashed 2.3 on my sgs with odin about 5 times and tried about 3 2.3 roms and iv had no problems (Other than some buggy memory handling)
pda xwjn1
phone unknown
csc unknown
2.3 is beta A greek word for unfinished .
Factory reset that fails
Flash different rom via Odin .
You started at step two of flashing i presume and failed to backup your efs folder .
jje
Same thing on my phone, I flashed one JPM firmware with odin and nothing, tried with gingerbread and nothing... any info would help. thnx in advanced
Hi,
I have the same issue: NO SIM CARD!
My phone is locked and today I wanted to try insert another sim card, just to see if the message: "Insert the unlock code..." appears. After this, I noticed it's not working, so I put back the original sim card and realized that I have no network and got this notification message: NO SIM CARD.
I checked the IMEI code and it's the same, any hints, tips?
Is there some kind of problem with my sim?
If anybody can help me, I'd be more than grateful.
Firmware version: 2.2.1
Baseband version: I9000XXJPY
Kernel version: 2.6.32.9 (Voodoo stable 5.4.1)
Build number: Darky's v9.3.XWJS5
As a few people mentioned before it's a beta rom so it contains bugs. This may be one of them. If your imei isn't a lot of 0 you probably won't have problem after they fix this bug

IMEI appears as unknown even after flashing darkys rom os a stock rom :S
I don't know how the Galaxy S stoores the imei, but my spica uses the efs partition for it, and this partition doesn't change when you reflash a rom (even if you used odin).
Sent from my GT-I5700 using XDA Premium App
EFS file may change after flashing a rom enough posts on here about it .
Rule one of flashing is to backup your efs folder .
Copy backed up efs to phone to fix
Probable fix as you have flashed custom roms is to use Odin and flash stock rom that may fix your efs .

Stock rom doesn't fix the efs. There is a guy at samdroid.net who can restore Spica's imei, maybe you should ask him if he is able to do it with your phone. Check out this url: http://forum.samdroid.net/f28/complete-imei-restore-how-1817/
Sorry, I found that I9000 is not supported.
theres a post about imei and pcode prblm check the forum,if u ave a backup of efs than ur lucky.usually if u screwed ur imei thts prblm m8.flash ur stock rom,get ur phone rooted,,there r good free apps for tht.download astro or root exp or lynda file manger.u can c a folder efs check tht out first.if u ave a backup of efs u can restore.for doubt pm.....cheeerz

[Q] Baseband version unknown, no IMEI, doesn't recognize SIM

So basically I have a phone (not mine) that says Baseband version: unknown, no IMEI when dialing *#06# and doesn't recognize SIM card at all.
Apparently the phone is running stock KK9 2.3.6. AFAIK it has not been rooted or had custom ROM's installed.
The owner said it recently started dropping from network, and usually didn't reconnect at all. This would indicate a broken baseband chip, since now it doesn't even recognize the card?
Any suggestions what to try?

Thanks for the quick reply. Unfortunately flashing did not help.
EFS corrupted? Any backup done?
No backup done.
you might wanna try this see if it helps... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1264021
Apparently there is a backup of the original EFS file - is it possible to just restore it?
do u meant the original files under /efs/? If that's what you meant, try to follow the steps in the previous SGS2 link. Else if it's an external EFS backup image, then there should be no problem restoring it ie. with EFSProBackup. good luck...
Now it's getting even stranger;
the phone works fine when the battery is removed for about half an hour and SIM card installed after that. I left the phone on my desk without the battery for the night, and now it works just fine. But I know that when I reboot it, it loses the baseband once again.
You mentioned you've flashed a stock rom before, which method did you use, pc odin or cwm/mobile odin? did u do a full wipe?
After restoring ur EFS, do a nand backup if you need to then wipe data/dalvik/cache from recovery mode and reflash via pc odin with a stock rom in ur region...
It look like to me you are having hardware problem. Send it back for replace or repairing..

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?

First you flash BB, then download RIL with GetRil. Read completely through BB sticky topic in development section. All answers are there.

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!

My problem was no service and IMEI unknown... Never managed to solve it. Reverted to old bootloader and problem solved.

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 ))

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!

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.

[Q] HELP SIM CARD Not recognized after flashing rom

Dear XDA I9070 experts I really need some help here.
First I want to apologize if I have some errors, my english is not very good, so sorry about that, I will try to do my best to explain and give the best background information if anyone can help me.
My actual phone is an Motorola Atrix 2, and I have flashed roms several times following the procedures explained on the threads here in this awesome site XDA step by step. So being able to flash roms with no problem at all I tried to do the same on my wifes old Samsung I9070.
I followed a thread that explained how to flash a ROM from GB to Kit Kat for the I9070 step by step here on XDA. The thread is this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2198341
It all went fine but being that the phone was not being used by anybody I forgot to insert a SIM CARD before the flashing procedure. I really don't know if that makes a difference, but when the mobile booted the first time after the ROM flashing I inserted my SIM card and to my surprise I didnt recognized it... booted the phone again several times and nothing, but the SIM card is being detected right away on my Motorola.
So I tried to do some research about that and some people suggested to go back to stock firmware, and others told that it was a problem with the EFS folder.
So I tried going back to stock JB with ODIN, but this time with the SIM CARD inserted, and nothing, the same problem. So I tried inspecting the EFS folder and I think that is the problem but I need some advice on this.
The EFS FOLDER has this content:
A bunch of files named CRYPTPROP...
DECRYPT_KEY
ESSIV
GUARDFIL
NV.LOG
NV_DATA.BIN.MD5
And some folders inside... Thats all. I didnt made any backups of the phone or the EFS folder
So I tried using the code *#06# and it gives a valid IMEI 3544******* etc
I really don't know how the phone still shows a valid IMEI with the file NV_DATA.BIN missing, so I checked the phone information and found this:
Inside SETTINGS:
MODEL NUMBER: GT-I9070
ANDROID VERSION: 4.1.2
BASEBAND VERSION: I9070XXLQL

BUILD NUMBER: JZO54K.I9070XXLQL
Inside SETTINGS - STATUS:
NETWORK: UNKNOWN
SERVICE STATE: OUT OF SERVICE
MOBILE NETWORK STATE: DISCONNECTED
MY PHONE NUMBER: UNKNOWN

Maybe the EFS folder is not all bad, I really dont know, please I need some advice here. My motorola screen is dying and I need to recover this one as it is a good phone. Thanks in advance for your help.

Thank you Flo0008 for you help... I used a firmware from Sammobile... this one exactly I9070XXLQL_I9070ITVLQ5_ITV as it was one of the more recent ones.
By the way I'm from Venezuela, but I bought the phone new and unlocked from amazon, the phone is in mint condition and my wife used it for more than a year without any problems, also we use the same carrier... it was not used anymore since December 2013 and recently I charged it for a full battery and did the firmware flashing and since then I'm facing the No SIM card, Insert SIM card message.
Could it be the firmware I selected I9070XXLQL_I9070ITVLQ5_ITV the problem?... It's from Italy... maybe you can recommend using another one.
Thanks in advance!
I had similar situation once when I tried different SIM card. My solution was to put SIM a bit twisted into its bed.

It took few tries but finally it got detected and working.

most likely your phone was *not* SIM unlocked before you flashed it: I did the same thing to mine and read many similar stories here and there.
I never found a solution and bricked my phone while trying to fix it. I went up to copiing a full ROM dump from another working 9070P: the copy succeded and phone worked (IMEI cloned etc...) but still no SIM card recognized (it was a spare free one so not a problem
If I manage to achieve my unbrick procedure (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701363), we might be able to fix that by reseting the full ROM to a valid state.
Facing the No Sim issues
i am facing the same problem, and it was all of a sudden."No SIM"
I sent the phone to service center, but they failed to repair.
i have tried everything, hard reset, downgrade to GB, upgrading again to JB (via ODIN), custom ROMs, but no luck.
what i figured out is my phone works on some older SIM cards, which have square shaped Chip (like the one in BSNL sim).
any suggestions????
