I'm new to this.
A totally random event. I restarted my phone one evening last week and it show no sim. Using the LG support tool I had multiple failed attempts to update the software. Then as sudden a the sim registration had disappeared it came back to life. All fine until again the phone just stopped registering the sim.
Phone is secondhand. And I have tried numerous times removing, cleaning and replacing the SIM. Tried another active SIM on the same network with no luck.
I've never had a 'bricked' phone so don't know what to expect but I imagine the phone wouldn't even boot up!
I have now rooted the phone and installed CWM recovery, still no joy and have in desperation performed a hard reset. Nada!
Software is V10h. I read something about EFS folder to backup but all I could find is a text file. The IMEI is not registering on the phone. It could be a very simple answer but currently I'm stumped. I have requested a replacement SIM but have little hope this will resolve the issue.
I hope someone has an answer...

re-flash 10h or 20a kdz. look for various tutorials on the forum. (btw, your phone isnt registring on network cuz your imei isnt being read, probably due to failed upgrade process
(or some other bug). it should be fixable though)
also, replacement sim wont help. its your cell phone that's faulty, either hardware or software, not the SIM itself
also, i'm not sure how it goes if your IMEI is blacklisted by your cell phone company - is it possible the phone was stolen? perhaps the original owner reported it stolen to his carrier and they blocked the IMEI?

If the IMEI is blacklisted, the phone will still show it correctly in the settings and the carrier will just block based on this. This is why changing an IMEI is illegal in most countries and why discussions on how to change it aren't allowed on XDA as it can get the site in serious trouble.

check if ur gapps are fine. reinstall all gapps. maybe u deleted some app that u shouldnt. happened to me too 2 weeks ago and i had no sim so signal , i couldnt see my imei, etc. if that doesnt help , then reinstall ur rom or install a custom one. I mean maybe u must be sure to check if u deleted some system app that u shouldnt. Since u have double checked with other sim , if its not from an app , then the above thread is right, the owner could have reported the phone stolen

Okay, strange happenings with this phone. I've not hd the opportunity to re-flash as suggested but by the by I put my SIM back in and it worked fine. IMEI registered in the phone settings and all was as it should be. Until again first the signal disappeared and when I restarted the SIM did not register. Has anyone experienced this before?

There have been some problems with this, but normally due the the RIL on CyanogenMod-based ROMs. I would suggest that you find the time to either reflash v10h or upgrade to v20A/B/C (as appropriate for your region) and see if that fixes it for you.
you still havent mentioned anything about gapps. this means you checked and you are sure that they are fine ??
So I have tried flashing software V20A using the LG software updater and now all I get is the phone booting into 'S/W Upgrade please wait while upgrading'
I can get into any other screen, despite pressing all combination of buttons together.
I have attempted reflashing back to V10H and try and get it back to how I had the phone. No luck there
And also tried again with V20A. No joy.
Is there anything else I could try?

I have always found this thread [TUTORIAL]Update firmware through flashing the kdz files( With Picture )Step by Step works perfectly every time.
Got the same problem here, running cm for a month with no probs, restarted phone and sim not recognized. Installed a backup of the original rom and everything ok. Reflashed kdz's and did a fresh install of cm and still no sim. Am now on Zaiben which is ok but takes about 15 mins to recognize sim?

Hi again. I ordered one of these. Lets test it. Last resort

Hi.
I recently purchased a used Optimus 2x with a cracked screen.
The first thing I did, was to start it up with my sim card, to see if the phone was operator locked.
When I turned the phone on, it started up just fine and I entered my pin number just fine, but after that I didn't get any network on the phone.
There were only greyed out bars on top of the screen, with a red " x " next to it and next to that, there was a picture of a sim card with a red " ! " mark on it and also on the "drag down menu" there was a message saying "No network".
I tried reseting the phone to factory settings but that didn't help.
I think the phone is originally from another country, because after I started the phone after reseting it, the language was changed to spanish.
If anyone could help me figure out what the problem with this phone is, I would really apreciate it.
No network is odd, try flashing a different baseband, then root it, install rom manager and start fresh with a new operating system.

Is there a tutorial on how to flash a different baseband? Is there a certain baseband version I should get, or can I just install any baseband version?

Thanks shpapy.
I managed to flash a new stock rom, but unfortunately the "No network" problem still persists.
However. When I looked at the back of the phone, I saw that the water indicator had turned red, so I assume that it has been water damaged.
Could this be causing the No network problem?
Or could the phone possibly be barred?

if you paid by credit card get a refund through them, or if ebay dispute the purchase and send PayPal images of the water sensor. Its screwed if it got wet.

Is there some way of fixing it?
I've got a rework station and could possibly replace the broken component if I knew which one to replace.
I've reballed a few xboxes before and normally I just work on gaming consoles.
But I bought this phone to give to my brother for christmas. The guy in the advertisement only said that the screen on the phone was cracked, but otherwise worked ok, so I figured it was an easy fix.
But now the f****r won't answer the phone anymore, so I guess he's long gone.
I paid in cash, so theres no chance for a refund.
I'll dissassemble the phone tomorrow and rinse the pcb with isopropyl, but this isn't really necessary as the component that is causing the issue is broken anyway right? But still, I guess it wouldn't hurt to give it a little rinse.
Just flash a new baseband+ ril i recommend starting with .218 bb+ ril and work up from there. Also use CM7 as a rom. I had the same problem your describing when i flashed the wrong baseband on mine. And if all else fails nvflash usually works in the end.
Sent from my Optimus 2X using XDA App
Well I think I bricked the phone.
I flashed the 0405 baseband and 0405 ril and after that, the phone didn't even ask for a pin number anymore and also the Imei number was deleted in the proccess
Guess I should have read more about how to flash the phone properly before I started flashing.
Ah well. S**t happends, lol.
By the way if there is a way to fix this phone, I would gladly pay someone to fix it for me.
Just send me a pm if it's fixable and we'll work something out.
You ticked 'erase cp' didn't you?
Luckily you can write your IMEI back though.
Heh, use nvflash, then flash new baseband. I use .725 myself after flashing baseband > root> install cwm> flash rom.
@rusty i did that wrong once

Hehe. To be honest, I'm not even sure I flashed the ril file the correct way.
I placed the RIL zip file on the internal sd card and booted the phone into bootloader "the thing that was installed after I rooted it with nvflash", and installed the ril file from there.
I chose install zip from internal sd and chose the ril file and after that, no more Imei, lol.
But, like I said earlier, I'll gladly pay someone if they could have this phone fixed for me.
I really wanted to give this phone to my brother and it'ss really a shame it won't work, because I've already ordered a new replacement screen and everything.
My brother's really into android phones and I know he's been drooling about this phone and the samsung galaxy s2, so I really wanted to suprise him with this phone.
If anyone believe that they could fix this phone and get it up and working, please send just send me a pm.
Nvflash = flashing rom from low lvl, last resort, so no basebands etc.
There is tons of documentation on this, read it. It will actually make it simple to do and understand its in the development section: nvflash, smartflash(bb), getril, roms.. etc
Sent from my Optimus 2X using XDA App
Yes! I managed to fix it.
I flashed a stock rom back to the phone, using Smartflash and that fixed it.
When I turned the phone on, the Imei was back and I could make and receive phone calls.
The Rom file I used to flash the phone with was: BIN_LGP990AT-00-V10b-NEU-XXX-APR-05-2011+0
Thanks to everyone that halped
However, now I've got a different problem. I disassembled the phone and while disassemling it, I managed to snap the "antenna/ coax" cable that runs between the main Pcb down to where the microphone is located.
I tried searchin on ebay for a replacement cable, but couldn't find anything. Maybe I didn't search for the correct part.
Does anyone have one of these cables that they'd be willing to sell, or does anyone know where I might buy one?
The story so far...
Bought a new Optimus Black and gave it to my girlfriend for her birthday a couple of days ago. After playing with it for about an hour she put it down, I picked it up and decided to have a tinker. I installed Cyanogen mod 3.5.1 after rooting it with Gingerbreak. So far so good but I didn't really like the look of the ROM and the absence of a Market seemed like hassle so I used ClockworkMod to restore the backed up stock ROM.
It's still working fine but now I see there is an official update from inside the phone. I presume it's the upgrade to Android 2.3 so run it and reboot the phone. That's when it all goes wrong. I'm now stuck in the CWM recovery screen. I try all the options, following any online guides I can find that were supposed to have worked for people. I try restoring the backup, restoring cyanogen, clearing the cache, dalvik, everything but nothing happens and I keep booting back into the CWM recovery screen.
Next day I try the LGUnitedMobileDriver and the phone recovery option but despite trying several times I can get no further. A friend tried to use Odin to restore it but got no success. Finally, we tried restoring with a KDZ file with
KDZ_FW_UPD_EN, Windows Enabler and LG B2CTool and now the phone got stuck in yet another loop - a black screen with 'updating firmware'. The LEDs flash for a minute and it reboots and does the same again.
What's more, the phone will now no longer charge or turn on without being connected to the mains.
What are my options here?
Follow the tutorial given below.

have you tried the CS_EMERGENCY option in R&D TOOLS? Wait I'll find the link..
Here >>> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18841596&postcount=8
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18740082&postcount=45
The CS_EMERGENCY is the only thing worked, he used a german V10A ROM. If you managed to unbrick it, you can flash it again with your desired KDZ, or use CS_EMERGENCY and flash directly your desired KDZ. TRIAL AND ERROR.
Emergency c-section... nope, I will try that now!
Said that it will get stuck at 4% but it is still flashing. Just wait for the phone to reboot by itself.
It just crashes with a fatal error as soon as it gets to the second tab (downloading) on both PCs I tried it on. I tried several KDZ files with the same result.
Does anyone know if it's possible to physically change the ROM on this phone and if it would be worth trying that before binning the thing?

Does it have warranty? Why not RMA it, I think it has a hardware problem now since you mentioned it doesn't charge anymore. Also, have you tried a different USB cable?
The warranty gets voided as soon as you root or mod a phone and it's probably as expensive to get it fixed outside of warranty as to buy a new one.

Most of the time they change the board right away if it can't boot (as many as I've read) board was changed and none just revived the OS. So they won't know you rooted it. Just specify that they should contact you first before making any changes.

true.. you can just tell them that you received an update and upon getting it the phone wont boot anymore.. just dont tell them that you rooted it or tinkered it in any way.. i'm sure you'll be able to get your warranty that way..

IT will mostly work..Good luck though and please do reply here and let us know if it worked..
My Optimus Black was working fine for about 3 months. Not sure what happened, but it started showing no network/signal. It's a completely unlocked phone. I tried a friend's SIM card and the first time it wouldn't work, but I tried again a few days later and it worked but had a pretty bad signal. Now it won't work no matter how many times I try. I even bought a new SIM card/number (I live in Asia) and it won't work.
I had Android 2.3 and thought maybe something got corrupted, so I wiped and reinstalled, but same problem. I wiped again and installed Mokee OS, and same issue. (By the way, after using Android 2.3, switching to Mokee is so much nicer, although it's in beta and still has some bugs.)
The 6 gold SIM connectors look fine. I used a SIM app and it recognizes the SIM card and its carrier, so I think the card is being read OK.
I live on a small island, so sending the phone back to LG or taking it back to where I bought it (Bangkok) would be a huge hassle. Does anybody have any ideas on things to try to fix this? I'd really appreciate the help.
Can you return to stock rom (rooted or not, as you want) and then tell me if you see something write in LG lockscreen (I'm thinking about LG Security Error) ?

i don't think my SIM has a pin code? I'm not sure though? There's only one type of SIM you can get here in Thailand. You buy the SIM from a phone shop or 7-11 and add credits to it. I've never seen any other type of SIM card.
Yep, I used smartflashtool and erased the entire CP (had to enable with Windows Enabler). Now there is no IMEI and still "No service".

A month ago I've upgraded to V20B using KDZ with this excellent tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069723, and everything worked fine till yesterday, when suddenly all mobile connectivity lost, as if there was no sim card installed.
I tried various solutions from the web before flashing my phone to CM-10.1.3-p880, which was great for me, but alas, still no mobile networks and data. I then tried to flash back to Stock ROM, again using KDZ update, and I don't know what went wrong, the outcome was that now the device shows only "S/W Upgrade" screen and no more. I tried to flash several times using also Lg Flash tool, but every time it fails after 10% of the download process. I also tried everything on a different computer.

You can try recover your phone with LGMobile support tool, without kdz flashing. In LG program in options you have entry update recovery, click it and follow instruction. I hope it helps.

Happened to me something similar today, but with the difference that I still have my IMEI and that I still can surf the web using 3G. Also my baseband version shows LGP880AT-00-V20a-234-XXX-MAR-26-2013 and right now I'm on latest CM11.
My problem is that I can't make calls, when I try to do so, I get "Mobile network not available". Also people can't call me and I can't send or receive SMS (haven't tried MMS btw).
I've also gone under "Settings -> Mobile networks -> Network Operators" and when I choose my network operator or select "Choose Automatically" I get "Can't connect to this network right now. Try again later".
Strange enough, in the quicksettings tiles I can see my network operator's name and the bars are full.
I was on Vanir 4.4.2 when this first happened. I have flashed already a few ROMs (like cm10.1.3, Zaiben, CM11) trying to solve this problem and all of this happens in all of them (clean flashed every single one of them). Also tried to restore with CWM some nandroid backups that were working previously and all of them are giving me this same error.
In "About phone -> Status"
I do have a signal strenght, which makes me think the antennas and the sim card are working correctly
Mobile network type: UMTS (I'm in Portugal)
Service state
Voice: Out of service (I believe the problem is somewhere hidden here)
Data: In service
Mobile network state: disconnected (this seems weird to me too, regarding the fact that I have data connection)
And like I said before, my IMEI and all the rest are correct.
I haven't tried flashing a KDZ due to all these reports of "soft bricking" their devices.... Don't know what to do... Any ideas?
Don't know If I shall provide a logcat or a dmesg... If so, when shall I take it?
Thanks in advance and sorry for crashing this thread...
what you described seems like ril crash issue, and ril doesn't connect you to network properly after that. the link in my sig may help you
edit:
just re-read your post, you are 100% sure it also happened on stock-based rom (zaiben)? if so, it may be that something different is wrong. try toggling airplane mode on and off when your issue happens and tell me what happens then
Hello Friends,
So I have quite the problem here. I recently tried to root my new Galaxy Note 8 sm-n9500 128gb. Apparently something went wrong and the root didn't work.
Not only that but since then my Phone wont recognize my sim card anymore and can't use mobile data because of that. It also shows no more IMEI.
I looked for guides how to fix that but coulnd't find any. So I started from the beginning with unlocking the bootloader trough BlueEffects Guide. After that installed TWRP and then magisk. TWRP will install but then the phone crashes and goes into a bootloop. I can hard reset and then it works again, tho TWRP seems to be unable to flash anything. I tried also SuperSu next to magisk but nothing works. If i understand correctly if i would succeed rooting the phone, I can just flash a new modem on the phone, or the EFS Folder and it should work again. Or also use some Apps with root rights to get the IMEI back?
I would appriciate anything that could help me restore my phone.
Thank you so much.
Regards Patrice

I already tried. I tried flashing many different Stock roms with different Versions and even older ones. Nothing changed tho.
I think you may have to take your phone to a service centre.
Seeing as you have erased the IMEI number from your device you would have to reflash back onto the BIOS

Wouldn't they refuse to do anything with it because I tried to root it and knox got tripped?

If i understand it correctly that shouldn't be too hard to do by myself if the phone was rooted. The problem is that I can't get the phone rooted. I tried with BlueEffect's guide but it didn't work.
Now i have the problem that I can't seem to get Odin to do anything. No matter what I try to flash it always fails instantly after "connection setup". It worked before tho, so I really don't know what the problem is.

Sounds like that you may have completely wiped and unformated the internal storage on your device. I would recommend that you reformat it with the mtr setting.
