unknown imei and baseband version

Hi
I have imei and baseband unknown problem. I had Jelly bean stock rom 4.1.2 on my phone. Rooted it with this file (PhilZ-cwm6-XXLT5-OXX-5.03.0-signed) and I flashed my first rom (angry rom file [AROMA] ANGRY [JB] [v4.6] [XXLT5]). At first It seemed alright but it did not respond everytime I touched the screen, for example tapped Gnote app. After a day or so I tapped Gnote and the device went in a bootloop. Stopped with the Samsung logo. I could not get out of this bootloop. I read droid views (Things to Do Before and After Installing a Custom ROM + Troubleshooter) and tried different methods. The last way out of this was to reinstall stockware via odin. So I flashed ics stock for Nordic countries. Done this earier also with noe problems. After this I don t have any network. My imei and base band is gone. Before I went on with all of this I thougt I backed up my efs folder with es file explorer. I just found the efs folder and copied it from my internal memory to my externel sd card. But when I opened it it was empty. I also have a folder on my sd card called BACKUP EFS. It contained one tar file (efs_22Jul2013-2139.tar).I don’t know or remember how this BACK UP EFS folder got to my sd card.I tried to copy the empty efs folder from my sd card and on to my internal memory. I did not know if there was a special folder I should put this efs folder so I just copied it among the other folders in the internal memory. And then I copied the tar file from My BACK UP EFS folder. All done with es file explorer. I just got generic imei which probably is locked. So I still got no connection to my simcard and therefore no network. I just want to know if there is any hope here?
You see, about the phone and about the phone/status screenshoots: see Attached files
I have still got the serial number. But then again I don’t know if it has been altered.
And her You can see screenshoots of my external sd card folders: see Attached file
I have also checked my sim card on other phones. Then I get a connection/network. So I think the simcard is ok.
I have an imei number on a sticker behind the battery of the phone
Please need help !

put copy of tar file on internal sdcard, computer, disk then in bankvault. Rename EFS.tar and flash away with ktool (see play) and bobs your uncle, reboot and check again,

Thank You for responding to my thread!
Now I have copied the backup tar.file to the pc , ext. sd card and on the internal sd card( here I just clicked on gt-n7000 and then clicked on "phone" where You find alle the folders and files on the phone. I just copied it here amongst the folders and files. I renamed the file in forehand to EFS.tar. I downloaded ktool from play.
1) You Write "then in bankvault" . I dont know what you mean here
2) Just to be sure. now I just open the ktool app. click on "restore EFS from backup(Dangerous)" then i suppose I find and Select the EFS.tar file and click ok or something. Unce this is done. just tap the reboot button(in the app) and then check my imei again
Just want to get this right the first time.

thats it exactly
bankvault was a joke, but you got my point just somewhere safe off the phone.
let's hope its a working backup of your efs.

samsung service next i presume

Hi
Thanks alot for helping. But it did not work. no contact With simcard no network. Then I probably have to send it to Samsung. Bought this phone a year ago. Do You think that I could get this on my warranty. got a New simcard (With bankid) 2 weeks ago. If i unroot it to ics Nordic country file With odin. Or is that impossible. My binary Counter is not activated so they cant see anything there. Or is this too obvious You think?
and one more thing. I was on jelly bean xxlt5 when i rooted and made the back up of the efs folder. Now when I tried this I am on ics . could this be the problem. Thus I should flash this Stock rom (N7000XXLT5_N7000OXXLT2_XEH) that i found on Google and try again?

This ktool should restore imei right.I now after restoing I just have a generic imei 004999010640000(also my serialnumber is 0000000000000) I remembered that before I flashed the rom when I was copying the efs folder from internal sdcard to ext. card with ES file Explorer.there where a efs folder on my internal sd card. this efs folder should it not be there now after using ktool? I deleted this folder before I started this tread since it was empty(after I restored ics Nordic With odin. I just thougt i tell You this.

Hi again
I downloaded android terminal emulator. I have granted su rights and open the app.
Ok I just typed:
su (enter)
echo -n ON > /efs/imei/keystr (enter) I stopped here when I got this Message NB! Here I get the following Message: cannot create /efs/imei/keystr: No such file or Directory 1
Maybe this has someting With the efs folder is not there. That I mentioned in the reply above
Thomas

command is
su, then enter, an enter after everyline. so type it like it is written, line for line, then reboot. Only needed if your phone doesnt prompt pin password on boot.
serial is no issue.
Copying efs folder, and putting it back does generally not work. Unless you experiment like restoring nv data bins. but then you need bak file and all with original emei which I suspect you dont have. Imei is issue but depends on country and provider blacklist. Only Samsung or cvxcvx can help you if thats the case.
your emei however was gone before the tar backup was made.
good luck sir this is all I googled for you
at own risk

Hi
Thank You for helping!! googled cvxcvx.pl found his site. He is on holiday or something until 5.aug.
Yeah Your right that I should be more patient. sorry about that
When I heard of him here on xda, I searched him out on the search Field and found him. There where no information about his site there. Maybe he should have a link there so People could read his Message. It would make it a lot easier I think. Not trying to be negative here just trying to be constructive.. Maybe there is a reason that I am not aware of, why he dont have such a link!
And of course I should be very thankful that there is People like cvxcvx.pl. He offers unik service, thus one should be more patience
Love xda!!

Forget my inquiry I got my ansver !!!
Hi
Thank You for Your prievious help.
1) I had to get gingerbread 2.3.6 on my phone and full root before he could restore my imei. I did this and rooted With abyss kernel. The Method I used did the following. I got the triangle and binary Counter was set to 1. Now I have emei but I cant get my phone to update to jb because of this. Now I did not found out any other way to root gingerbread.
Then I flashed Gingerbread once again using Odin With gingerbread tar file, Nordic countries. Afterwards it restarted as it suppose to do. I tapped my sim pincode when promted. Now nothing happened to my phone other than that I lost my root. The sms and historik data is still there. but the triangle is gone but my binary Counter is still active, thus I cant get the Samsung jb update.
1) think I now should do a wipe data/ factory reset and then continued to 2)?
I wanted to use this Method to resett my binary Counter by using triangle away: video cursed4eva ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aa-t-8ypcYs ) written description ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494114). But does only work With Stock kernel. I have rooted With abyss kernel which is custum if I am not wrong. This is the only way I know to root gingerbread on my Note.
I also have Stock firmware ics Nordic countries which I want to flash using Odin. And this I can root With philz kernel which is Stock I think. And then I can go on With resetting binary Counter(video above cursed4eva).
2) I want to get my Stock ics on my phone using odin.
NOW THE MAIN QESTION IS DO I HAVE TO ROOT GINGERBREAD WHITH ABYSS KERNEL AGAIN SO THAT I CAN FLASH STOCK ICS USING ODIN OR CAN I JUST FLASH ICS WITH ODIN WITHOUT A ROOT? OR SAID ANOTHER WAY DO I NEED ROOT TO FLASH ICS USING ODIN?
Hope You can answer me 1) and 2)

You don't need to be rooted to flash stock roms. You can flash ics or jb straight over gb.

Hi
Thank You for responding to my thread .
(Ok I want to flash straight to jb but i dont find the Stock firmware for Nordic countries, so I use my ics firmware and update from there With Samsung update)
I did a factory resett on GB and then I flashed ics using odin(Odin3-v1.85). . when on Stock ICS kernel i did not do a wipe/faktory resett. I then went right to root my phone With philz kernel With this kernel on ext. sd card( Root_SuperSU.0.95.Only-signed ) using Method volum up , Power, home and then selected update from ext. sd card and so on. Now I tried to Connect to network and it does not Connect. i still have imei. when I go
into settings and mobile network. When I tap network operators it only finds network operators like , Telenor, Netcome, mobile Norway but not Onecall(which I am using). Then I tap Select automatically, I then get a Message in small letters on my screen saying; network registered (googled mobile norway + onecall, and it seems that Onecall is getting their net from Telenor and mobile norway, thats somehow I get the Message registered on network I think). So I am able to download the JB update from Samsung over wifi (I have downloaded but of course not run it?), but I dont get to Connect to mobilnetwork and surf With f.ex my net-browser.
What do I do now? Og back to GB and see If it function again? Or just go on to resett my binary Counter or do the jb update which I have downloaded and se if that Works.
and if I am to go on to resett my binary Counter using this Method safe. I am a littel scared that I have to brick my phone totally using this method, but then again I am getting tired and running out of options it seems.
Have to say loosing imei has been and still is a true nightmare. promblems doent seem to stop

[Q] IMEI unrecoverably lost. EFS wiped. Help needed.

Hi everyone.
I've got to this bad situation where I wiped my IMEI. I was trying to flash CyanogenMod, and it flashed fine except that IMEI was turning into zeroes and radio did not worked. Reverting back to stock ROM helped pretty much, it worked there. So, I decided to back up EFS prior to flashing again. I did it on a rooted stock firmware using online nandroid backup from market. It told me that backup was done fine, and I did not actually check, which was a huge mistake. I reflashed CM, gapps, and then that backup. Obviously, as that backup did not really contain anything, CM did not start. Original firmware flashed by Odin starts up, however, I immediately get "blahblah.gapps failed to start", I cannot connect to wifi because I cannot enter my password for Wifi - kayboard doesn't show up (if I remove the password on router, it connects fine). If I proceed, SetupWizard just crashes.
So, without backup, the only thing I can do is possibly flash EFS from another S Advance i9070P. I know that it would contain others' IMEI, but I can swear I fist change it before flashing. Or, if anybody's willing to help, you can just replace your IMEI with something generic but recognizable, as 123456789012345 for example. I'd try to deal with it.
Or, if there's any other suggestion, I'd gladly listen.

Did you do factory reset and wipe cache? Go back to stock with flashing stock firmware. That: "blahblah.gapps failed to start" is because of wrong version of GAPPS installed.

Hey, time to rise the topic again. After I repaired my phone, after some time I decided to flash a rom for a different region, 2.3.6 also (i did not update it to 4.1.2 anymore). I used ODIN 3.07. But now it does not turn on. At all. It does not react to the power button. No vibration, nothing. No recovery mode, no odin mode. Looks like a complete brick. Why the hell is that?!
Ah, by the way, as I stated in my first post, it's NFC model. The downgrade guide was for non-NFC. So I did not have any NFC functionality after downgrade. Here I wanted to return it as well, so I used a FW for i9070P version. Never had an idea it wouldn't turn on after that.
What can I do?

is it possible???
Hi. I ve experienced the same problem, except tht I ve completely lost IMEI and baseband. Sent it for repair.the person said 1st we ll recover the baseband then IMEI would b recovered. Blv me its been 2 weeks now. I ve read every possible solution I could find but it didnt help. As far as i could understand, IMEI has to b there for baseband to recover. Tried efs pro. Tried 9 steps for IMEI recovery but nothing helped. Tried to downgrade to GB acc to the guide but repartition fails on ODIN 1.85. Used triangle away to reset counter.the counts turn 0 with device status 'samsung official' but as soon as I flash stock JB, the current binary shows custom. IMEI folder in efs is empty. Tried to do the complex methods but got scared coz rest of the fone is f9. Is it possible tht it will be repaired or not. Is there a way out?

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?

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.

I am so feeling sucessful right now although i didnt got 4.3 but i was sucessful in getting my imei and baseband and network back.:good:

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.

Solved [Q] Mobile Data is not Working at all

Hello,
I am using I9070 (Samsung S Advance)
Tried using Stock firmware, Mods like Carbon and CyanogenMod
The Problem I am facing is following:
"I just installed this Carbon Mod but somehow my mobile data is not working at all even when option is of mobile data is on
anyway to solve it?"
Things I tried
1. I tried formating my phone.. "Already did it 5-6 Times with no luck"
2.Tried the same in other phone "and it was working in other phone"
3.Tried chatting up with customer representative.
actually I did something silly I went to Recovery Mode "ClockworkMod is installed"
Then "Mounts and Storage Menu"
and Formatted system, modemfs, cache, preload, data and boot
Is I am facing this issue because of formatting these options? and I am getting full network but when I am switching Mobile Data it is not showing "H" or "E" icon on network bar...
Please Help me out..
Enclosing snapshot taken from same mobile with different firmware like (GB and JB) and MODS (CyanogenMod and CarbonMod)
Thank You
Issue Solved:-
Copied from @alete89
Changed few things as it will work whether you are from same place or other place as baseband is XXXX
you just need same phone
I have to downgrade jellybean to 2.3.6 and root it after that
Following these steps: (as example)
http://techdraginfo.blogspot.com/2012/10/how-to-root-samsung-galaxy-s-advance.html
then install terminal.
then get the modemfs.img.md5 from a friend with the same phone but he lives in Argentina
File is uploaded in googledrive by @alete89 , I link it here just in case (warning, it is from company: Claro, Argentina, UBLD1)
goo.gl/DzAjza
after that I followed following steps

On another device (same model) I did:

Copied generated file to my sdcard and did:
dd if=/sdcard/modemfs.img.md5 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2
Reboot and it's done.
Thank you to everyone who tried to help...:good::victory:

Sir,
formated carbon mod and Installed JB thinking it will solve the issue...

@grautela
After reading your private message and this post, it seems that you still might be lucky.
In your private message you said that you formatted also your EFS folder, which you didn't write on this post. Since you said you still have your IMEI I am assuming that you really didn't touch that partition.
I would suggest using Odin to flash your stock baseband. Start with using your region baseband.
You can find them on sammobile.com or samsung-updates.com.
Hopefully after flashing via Odin your region baseband you will get the modemfs back.

I tried that

Sir,
I already tried that

I used your method to check back up EFS & Modemfs
EFS (10MB) (10,485,760 Bytes)
Modemfs (16MB) (16,777,216 Bytes)
now what to do?
Please check the pics attached below..

As I see you have network and IMEI. Did you do factory reset after going back to stock?
Try to remove APN setting and add it again.

I think this is the last resort

There is flashable zip provided to change baseband I think it was provided by @t4n107 .try flashing it in recovery then make a clean flash of any custom ROM with all wipes.
Sent from my GT-I9070 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

@grautela thanks for quotting and taggin.
did you try to copy my modemfs.img.md5 even if it is from other country just in case? (WARNING: I don't know if this could be harmful)
edited immediately: I'm such a noob, didn't see that you edited AFTER all the messages. So, you solved it with MY modemfs.img.md5? or you used other?

@alete89 :- your welcome but baseband was XXXX so doesnt matter if use modemfs.img.md5 from Argentina or India... but i think it should be of same Android Version..
Like if I am using I9070 with GB so I want same phone with GB as OS not with any other OS!!
and Yes I took a leap of faith and used your modemfs.img.md5 file..:laugh:
Thanks a lot and Hope Argentina will win this years World CUP...

Stuck on the black screen - power on doesn't work, only Recovery and Download works

Hello.
I've been playing with some custom ROMs, recoveries, etc. on S10 SM-G973F. Every time something went wrong I was able to flash stock Android 11 ROM with Odin and run the system after that. But not anymore...
At this moment I have access to Recovery Mode (stock, TWRP, LineageOS... whichever I flash with Odin) and Download Mode. When I try to power on the phone with button or with an option Boot to System from Recovery the phone turns off and nothing else happens. Black screen only, no vibration, etc.
I tried to format data and cache in Stock Recovery and TWRP. I tried to flash many time, changed USB cable, change USB port... nothing helps.
What is strange that after I flash the stock recovery the phone boots one time displaying the unlocked bootloader warning, Samsung logo and Android robot icon with an Erasing sign... but just for a 1-2s, very short time. Before the problem occurred the Erasing took much much more time. After that one time I cannot make to display bootloader unlocked warning and Samsung logo any more, no matter which ROM or recovery I flash.

Maybe you can try installing the original firmware and start over again.

That is what I do in the first place, I try to flash the original firmware with Odin. I use the same files as before. The only difference I can see is that after the flashing the Erase progress was very long and now it is only 1-2s and the phone turns off.

Ok, I've found my mistake and a solution. I will post it here if anyone else has a similar problem.
So while I was playing with different ROMs one of them had an instruction to flash G973FXXSCFUH5-twrp_flashable.zip that included:
modem.bin
dt.img
dtbo.img
cm.bin
sboot.bin
up_param.bin
keystorage.bin
uh.bin
The zip included was to an older firmware G973FXXSCFUH5, while I was already on newer G973FXXSEFUJ2. But the TWRP that I used to flash the zip did not protest and the process finished well. Causing the problems above of course.
Don't know why but flashing the whole original G973FXXSEFUJ2 firmware with Odin was not enough. But when I flashed G973FXXSEFUJ2-twrp_flashable.zip from the TWRP worked and made the phone operational again.

hello, I am in the same situation after having wanted to install blastui I find myself with the possibility of starting only in dow load or in twrp. Can you help me

0. Make sure your phone is charged!
1. Check your current SW# in Download mode (the number stands for the number or letter in firmware code, the 5th sign from the end in hexadecimal, for example SW# 14 is E in G973FXXSEFUJ2_G973FOXMEFUJ2)
2. Find the proper version of bootloader and modem in ....-twrp_flashable.zip format (check here: https://github.com/corsicanu/9820-bootloaders_and_modems/releases)
3. Flash and run TWRP recovery.
4. Flash the zip file from #2.
Flashing the stock firmware with Odin was not enough for me. Flashing with TWRP made the S10 back to alive.

There is not much more to explain, just follow the steps I pointed. If any of them are not clear enough just ask, but I tried to make them as simple as possible If your English is not to well just try to use Google Translator.

Best way to go back to stock rom is simply flash it with Odin from original files available from Samsung, for example on SamMobile:

Thanks for the help brother I appreciate it

For months I've tried searching for a solution to fix my SM-N976U that stopped booting up. None of the symptoms shared fully matched what I was experiencing, so every fix I attempted didn't get her fully functioning again, eventually I gave up trying, stuffed the phone in a drawer and just bought another one. Today I stumbled upon your post and every symptom you described fit exactly with what happen to me, I mean to the T, minus the model and fw version. So I grabbed my SM-N976U one more time and followed your solution... and guess what??? I am now a proud owner of 2 note 10 plus'!!!
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience and solution!! Cheers to you bud! Have a great New Year!

Thank you~! my s10 plus is back!
