No IMEI no backup.

Hi everyone,
I recently got a i9000 that was on icm via devils kernel. I did a factory reset on the device and think this corrupted the EFS folder as i was given the generic IMEI and had no signal. I flashed back to a stock GB 2.3.5 and managed to get my own IMEI back on the phone. I still however have no signal so wondered what to do next?
Thanks

As I said in the other thread. I don't have stock so I can't giude you.
Look around in the menus, and use the meny key to go back in the service mode.
You will find it. nv rebuild.
---------- Post added at 08:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:55 PM ----------
When your nv is rebuild, reboot twice and see if baseband is shown.
Otherwise flash stock rom again, now that nv is rebuild.

done, but my baseband still XXXX

If you got backups from cwm or twrp of your /efs and /modem, please restore them.
Never wipe efs or modem when flashing a rom.

Ok. Flash a stock rom where everything works.
You can try this one: I8190 серв. укр.rar
It's the most complete rom iv'e seen for i8190. If everything works and you want to flash aokp or cm, just make a factory reset.

Ok, good
Make a backup of your rom. You can also make backups of your apps with titanium backup or similar for easy restoring of your apps.
Flash aokp or whatever you want + gapps, make a factory reset and reboot.
See if that works.

Flashed Germany 4.3 Stuck on Samsung Screen

Hello Guys i flashed the Germany Version of 4.3 lte last night and in doing so i have Temporarily killed my Phone.
I have tried all the Recoveries processes via Kies and Odin and i am having no luck.
I think the reason why it won't flash is because the Germany 4.3 is a Newer Version than the Stock 4.1.2.
When i'm in Odin i get sboot.bin Fail when trying to Flash the Latest Stock rom. I am able to Flash the Germany 4.3 again and that flashes but then the Phone Stays on the Samsung Flash Screen.
Could someone please Help? I have been on with this for Hours now. I think what i need is a 4.3 Version of any rom in Odin .tar format so i can at least get the phone to boot up and then maybe i can get CWM Recovery on there and flash a Stock rom that way.
Thanks in Advance

You have to remove sboot.bin and tz.bin when downgrading. Be careful, downgrading will give you Knox warranty void 0x1!

THE kies frimware intilition doesnt work as you have 4.3 bootloader and knox blocks older boot loader
dont worry when 4.3 becomes available in your area it wont have to downgrade and ultimately this method will work but still things are looking pretty bad dor the intermediatory days.
PS is ther anyway to restore baseband imei without any backup

What if i download the Germany Version again and try flashing. I thought it would of worked? I am now in this situation surely the Country it comes from wouldn't make a difference? Could someone take the Germany 4.3 and make it a Working Version .tar file to flash with Odin3?

Hello Guys i have Fantastic News!!
I have no idea what i did different, However i have reflashed the German 4.3 on my GT-I9305 and this time to my Total Surprise it worked!!
I wish i could say what i did and it worked but i have absolutely no idea what was done differently.
Thanks all for your Help.
I will say i installed the drivers manually and just on the off chance i flashed it again with the file i downloaded last Night. I also flashed a recover trying to get it to load a recover so i could flash a zip file.

Sorry for the late response but when you get stuck on the Samsung boot screen all you have to do is boot into Recovery and do a Factory Reset and Wipe Cache.
Another thing to remember is to flash the modem for your country otherwise you might accidently disable some frequencies and enable other useless ones.

Which 4.3 update did you flash? I used the DBT German one.
Did you flash the right modem too? It worked for me and i was using a i9305T. All i did was flash the latest modem (from the brand of phone i have which is Telstra) and did a wipe data and wipe cache.

[ROM][TAR] Stock NG2 Odin flashable

You will get the KNOX bootloader if you flash this.
YOU CANNOT UNDO THIS, ITS PERMANENT. FLASHING ANYTHING UNOFFICIAL AFTER FLASHING THIS TAR WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY​
Just the NG2 FULL stock tar.
Do NOT rename the tar file. Even though it may be convenient to do so, Odin may fail the md5 check for no reason.
(L720VPUFNG2_L720SPTFNG2_L720VPUFNG2_HOME.tar.md5)
This is NOT ROOTED. Its the original TAR file for people who need an Emergency Recovery for their phones, and dont want to wait hours for it to download from slow file hosts.
Mediafire
Instructions:
1. Download and Extract tar above and download Odin
2. Put phone into download mode (power off, then power button + Volume Down, then volume up when prompted)
3. Open Odin (right click > open as administrator)
4. Load stock tar into the PDA slot
5. Start flashing
6. Grab some popcorn because it will take a while
7. Profit

Is this going to update bootloader into NG2?
Is NG2 bootloader unlocked?
Thank you so much,

will this work on rooted phone?
im looking to put my phone back to unrooted stock. will this flash right on a rooted phone? im guessing it will but just want to make sure.

You will need to re-root the phone after installing this file! Then you will be able to install a custom recovery..

Thanks for putting this on a speedy host. I just downloaded it tonight in under half an hour at my daughter's house, and she doesn't have a particularly fast internet connection.
A quick question - does this file leave your programs intact? Sometimes I like a total wipe (except for my SD card), and start fresh.
Thanks again

Now I have another problem. I am no longer with sprint and my phone is unlocked from sprint. I have been using the GOLDENEYE rom on Walmart Family Mobile and all was warning well except for sometimes not connecting calls so I thought i go back to stock with this rom. Problem now is I can make calls with the Walmart sim card, put in the APN settings but i am unable to remove the Hands Free Activation nagging.. Is there anyway to make it go away?

Have you tried to pull down the notification bar with two fingers > long press on Hands Free icon to see if something is turned on to make it show up on notification bar? If turned on, shut it off. Hopefully it is that simple. If not that simple, I have no clue how to make it stop. Maybe someone else does.
I haven't heard of anyone having that problem.

Yeah, I tried everything, it's part of the rom I think, nothing worked to make it go away..
I just went back to goldeneye rom, all working perfect again. Thanks.

Nope. it doesn't wipe data unless stated by the OP that it does. It only restores any apps deleted, or reverses any mods made. Example if you are running Aosp and Odin back to stock. You will get bootloop. After Odin always go to stock recovery and do a factory reset to have a clean install.

Wifi didn't work for me on this rom, coming from a custom mf9 rom. So I odin mf9 bootloader package, and then flashed stock mf9 odexed rooted rom, then odin the mf9 kernel. And did NG2 upgrade through Kies. Now Wi-Fi finally works for me but it's impossible to root. But at least now I got everything working, when I get off of work I can flash the OP version of NG2 cuz at least I could root that 1.

No mobile data anymore
