Help needed!

Hey all,
I just went from ICS to Stock 2.3.6 and the first thing I noticed is that after the flashing process where de phones go to recovery and loads for some time it asked me for a password... I tried many things but without luck, i flashed TWRP and wiped data and everything then it went away and I could normally use my phone...
Now I set up a Pin lock on my phone and I know 100% sure i know the pin because im using it for a year or so now but it keeps telling me the pincode is incorrect, so i cant unlock it.
Wiped everything again and did the same thing but again it keeps telling me its wrong while I know its correct...
How can I fix this?
Thanks in advance!

Well, according to this: "I wiped data and everything then it went away and I could normally use my phone...", it seems (at least that's what I think) that you have set a software-based pin code (instead of the simcard code itself) from which you thought it was the simcard code all the time. so your simcard code remained unchanged. This is just my speculation, try the original code. (if you can still find it) Because wiping any partition would never delete information (pincode) on your simcard.

No its not the pincode of my simcard that it asks for thats still there and working fine it asks for a password which i assume is the pinlock on my phone, i also tried without a lock on my phone and it still asks for it.
On this thread the OP has posted a phone its exactly like that!

It may sound as im advertising, but what you can try is flashing broodROM RC5 with odin, a bunch of people actually reported that if your stuck in "your" situation, a flash of broodrom goodness can do miracles. I have never experienced such problems but you can always try and flash my rom, if it works again then install stock

I just installed Broodrom Business edition and the first thing I did was testing if the problem got solved, so I set up a pincode even wrote it down to make sure I dont go paranoid but it still says wrong password and I cant unlock the phone anymore, wiped cache+dalvik cache+data/factory reset and even did a system wipe but still nothing, im using TWRP by the way...
I really hope someone knows how to fix this I really hate the situation im in right now and I really want to know whats causing it...
Flashing ICS ang going back to GB seems a big mistake of me...
Hope you guys can help me!

The best thing you can do is to flash VIA ODIN BroodROM RC5. As brood said, it does miracles.

I just flashed Broodrom RC5 and everything went as expected, only Odin didn't say PASSED this time either but it went well luckly.
The phone booted and i set up an lock screen i locked it and it still says pincode wrong! Now i need to wipe date etc to have access again.
This is really pissing me off...
What can i do now?
Where is the lockscreen located? maybe i can access it and change some values or something?
Or can someone thats using Broodrom rc5 give me his framework file or some system files that the lockscreen may be using?
Thanks in advance!

Sorry man. Pin code security comes from you sim card. Changing your system files wont work. You can Buy a new sim card, Try to find puk code or go back to your provider and tell them you lost your puk code.
edit: Oh. I didn't read the OP when i posted this. My bad. Forget what i said

I am now on 2.3.6 and I already wanted to try that but when I connect it to kies is says 'Your device is not supported' or something because I got this firmware file from samfirmware I think.
Is there a way to force update to the firmware Kies was giving?
Btw i noticed when I set a pin screen lock and afterwards I press 'No Screenlock' it doesn't ask for the pin to confirm, and as long as I can remember it did when you wanted to remove the screenlock(back in the days when it was working lol).

[Q] no Data/3G/Mobile on my P1000 (Sapir 4.1.2)

Hi guys first and foremost, thank you for reading. I must say this is as a very informative forum with lots of good people in it. This is my first post, and i am an absolute noob so please bear with me. I am posting because i have tried my best to search for answers pertaining to my problem but to no avail, so i hope someone can really help me out here!
so i have a P1000 and bricked it before but anyway am now running
Sapir-10-20121118-nightly-p1-erezak
problem is, the baseband is unknown. which means my sim card does not work. WiFi works fine but i put in my sim card and it doesnt detect a network at all. I have also noticed that Whatsapp is not supported and with the rom, my phone gets warm at the back and power depletes rather fast.
i have doubled checked with a friend who has an unrooted P1000 with the original rom and he told me his baseband was "P1000-DXJPE"
i have gone here
http//wiki.cyanogenmod.org/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_Tab_(GSM):_Support_Downloads
and downloaded the DXJPE modem.bin file and tried to put it in the /radio folder but nothing has changed.
So can anyone help me on this? as in, tell me, in detail how i can make my phone work properly again with data/3g/mobile. Or i will just have to use it as a Wifi tablet.
I read this in the Sapir development thread, and i quote
"Originally Posted by _Derk_
No, just the other way round.
I recommend to have the correct modem.bin (for me JPZ) stored in SD card.
So in one of the cases where you have baseband unknown like now you copy it to /radio folder, even if there is already a modem.bin (which you delete prior). Then just assign the correct authorisations (RWXRWXRWX / 777) and it should work.
Bye,
Derk"
So if this is my answer, can anyone tell me how i can go about doing this? I have no idea what it means!
Another question; is this rom power conservative? My stock GB (or is that Froyo, i cant remember) rom seems to last quite awhile as compared to the Sapir rom. Even if i don't use it, it drains power really really quick in like, a day? Is this normal?

Big drain is normal when you have bad baseband.
The thing you quote, is exactly the same as your own method.
The difference is Derk suggest jpz modem.
So download jpz modem and unzip and place it in /radio
For permission, use root explorer or ES file explorer.
Click long on the file and access its properties, and tick all.

Hi Priyana thanks for the quick response i have already gotten the JPZ modem.bin and put it in /radio. I am actually using Solid Explorer instead of ES Explorer. Root Explorer does not work for some reason. I have also changed the permissions in properties as to what Dirk has mentioned,
RWXRWXRWX / 777
sadly, nothing has changed. What do u suggest i do next?

There was a build in the past that put it in /system/vendor/
Try that?

Done that. Doesn't work
Has this got anything to do with the Owner & Group for modem.bin? Both are now set as "0:root". Both can be changed to "1000:system", "1001: radio" and "1002:bluetooth".
So by right if i go to "settings/about tablet" i should see the baseband version if everything is ok right?

Yes, should be showing under baseband. Don't know what is wrong, maybe you want to flash different nightly.
I know it is a silly question, but you did reboot, right?

Yes i did reboot. I am actually trying to follow your guide to re-stocking. Unfortunately, Odin does not recognise my P1000 in download mode.
This is quite the disaster isn't it? I am ****ed aren't i. :crying:

Noob suggestion,
Wipe everything, factory reset, partition cache, dalvik cache, battery stat. Fix permission.
And reflash the ROM again, after that, reflash the gapps, and reflash the modem. Maybe it'll work.

Flashing modem is really totally unnecessary and leading to confusion if people grab the wrong flash able format.
In stock ROM when we have bml partition, the only way to change modem is via Odin or cwm.
In mtd based ROM, they sit right there in /radio/modem.bin
Odin cant detect the tab is indeed quite weird, but could be driver issue.
For now, try flash cm10 instead?

i just did. same thing. No baseband. what could i have done before to possibly let this happen? perhaps when i rooted it?

No, what you rooted as long been overwritten when you flash the rom using cwm.
I suspect you just need a different ROM.
Try aokp jb instead

I have the problem, before miui 4.0.4 works, after Sapir 4.1.2 the 3g is lost,
Thanks,

Obviously he restock.
You need to check if you have IMEI as 004xxxxxxx (bad IMEI) or the normal 35xxxxxxx.
if bad imei, it is corrupted efs
And in sapir thread we talked about it, use search.

[Q] I9305T wont detect sim or connect to the PC

Stupidly, I have been trying to install ROMs that aren't compatible with the I9305T which caused mine to stop functioning properly.
I have flashed it back to the stock Telstra ROM and 2 problems have come up. The first being that it doesn't detect a sim card in it at all and the second being that it won't connect to my PC at all (although I can still use Odin to flash it).
Does anyone know what might have gone wrong to make it suddenly act like this?

The reason it's acting like this is because you flashed ROMS not intended for i9305. What did you flash?
You will most probably have no efs partition now as a result and that's why your sim isn't recognised.
If you didn't make a backup, I think the only thing you can do is take it for repair.

I made a backup before I flashed with TWRP would I be able to restore that?

Hi,
You have to restore your IMEI (backup folder "efs")
Else there's a way for GT-I9305,
but not sure the Param_Bin_I9305.zip - 612.14 KB file is good for I9305T
Anyway, you can ask in the thread for your problem

Help! Unknown imei on N900a. Can't root, so how to fix?

OK this is beginning to annoy me greatly. I have the note 3 n900aucueoc1. My boss gave me this phone because it all of the sudden "broke". OK cool, a free phone I thought. Wrong. Not cool.
I figured out the problem has to be a screwed up efs folder because the phone won't read a sims card. The broadband version and imei are "unknown" and the Version is custom. Heres the weird part though. It isn't always custom. Once in a while when it's restarted it will load and it's version Will be official and everything seems to work.
The problem I am having is apperently, this phone cannot be rooted. I have no way to access and edit the efs folder. If it can be rooted please enlighten me because I've tried everything.
Any answers?? Help is GREATLY apprecitated!!

Hello. Your only choice for root would be a downgrade to 4.4.2, Install Towelroot, SuperSU, Safestrap & Busy box. If you want rooted 5.0 you'll need to flash Walter Whites rooted 5.0 OC1 using Safestrap.

OK awesome.. thank you.. I'm guessing the problem is the efs folder then? Now I just need to figure out how to downgrade. I'm sure there's a post on here somewhere about that lol.

In the general section there is a thread called "NC2 Odin files" or something like that... Download those.
Also, you don't need root to edit the efs... Download qpst and qdxm... I can't post a link but just google it

Awesome thank you. I found the downloads but it says it's for the galaxy s3. . Will it still work? Also why does my device switch from custom to official randomly.. like I said sometimes it works, or appears to anyways. Like right now the mode is in custom but everything appears fine.. is this a problem with the efs? Or something else entirely?
EDIT: OK wow I downloaded both of those but have no idea how to use them.. Google here I come. Answers to my other questions much appreciated.. I would think if my efs folder was messed up it would never work but why does it work sometimes and other times I get all unknowns?? Help please.

Flashing Modems and Bootloaders to work on custom roms

Good evening. First and foremost , i have jumped in and out of multiple threads looking for a solution. I have yet to figure out my issue. So the problem is that i have extracted my bootloader and modem from samsungs stock firmware and flashed it while running a custom rom. However, i still do not have any signal or internet. Ive tried using modems and bootloaders from different updates but that has not worked either. Could it be that i didnt covert the files properly? they both are tar files and are recognized by odin. I also get a pass when i flash them but still no internet or signal. I even tried going to network operators and choosing my respective carrier but that fails as well. I have yet to figure this out so i havent been able to use any custom roms thus far.. (NOTE 5 920K) Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks

Do you have a visible IMEI and baseband? Is your IMEI all zeros and your baseband null? Does changing your APN do anything? What happens when you flash back to a completely stock firmware? Have you tried a different sim or pulling your current sim card out and re-inserting?

Changing my APN did nothing. When i flash back to stock everything goes back to working including my service and internet. I have not tried pulling out my sim and putting it back in. I will try that soon and check my imei and baseband as well.

Lemme know what your baseband version is and your IMEI after you flash a different bootloader and modem. I'm curious. What ROM are you trying to flash? What bootloader version and modem are you flashing when your signal and service disappear?
