[Q] Help with a I9000B apparently dead [Null IMEI and Baseband] - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
First of all, I'd like to thank you guys for the excellent research and knowledge shared in this community. Also, as I don`t speak english natively, please forgive any mistakes around the language.
I'm having a lot problems with a Samsung Galaxy S (I9000B). The smartphone doesn't recognize any microchip, incapacitating the use of 3G or similars. Even with the stock ROM (flashed via ODIN) or with a ROM blocked to one specifically operator the problem persists.
When I try to verificate my IMEI with the *#06# code, it shows me a null value. The baseband also doesn't declare any value at the phone specifications.
I can't even install cyanogen!
Any ideas? Thanks!
PS: I tried metods like delete the EFS folder, but did not worked.

BUMP
Anyone?

Unless you have a backup, then the phone is partly dead. I say partly because now it's a mini tablet

[Q] Anycall Galaxy S - bricked?

Hello,
my friend got a phone that at first sight i thought its the galaxy s i9000. but its the korean version of it with integrated dbm antenna.
but the problem he had was, that he tried to flash a gingerbread rom (for i9000) but came to me saying the phone does not boot anymore...
so i wanted to flash the correct firmware.. so i downloaded the latest one from http://m110sroms.info/ ...
but when i start the update with odin.. it stops with a FAIL at the very end of the flashing process.. i tried several times with and without closing Odin and with and without ticking repartition.. but it didnt help..
what is the problem? please help..
i downloaded another firmware but didnt worked either..
does he bricked the phone? is it possible to un-brick it?
please answers.. thanks
I don't know a lot about this, but I do know it's almost impossible to permanently brick your phone. So things could work out just fine . However someone with some more knowledge should help you out, since mine is insufficient. GL though.
i just tried almost every single firmware i found for this device but none of them worked
so please, if anyone does know a solution, feel free to post.
Maybe it's not i9000. There is a difference between models like i9000,i9000B... check it behind battery

Help!!!

Hey guys, sorry for asking again this thing, but I've searched into the topic i'm speaking of and I didn't found anything useful.
I installed this ROM(CFT 1.4 Fugumod kernel) with latest gapps and with: forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=648448&d=1310077489) : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1353657
I must tell you guys it's awesome and looks incredible BUT i have a very big problem. He doesn't recognize my network. I'm from Romania, Orange network, if it does have any relevance; I don't know if there is a problem with our networks or not, but i so want this mode and i'm looking foward for a solution.
Please????
Can't help with this ROM as I have not used it but...
Have you checked your IMEI number? These sometimes get trashed when you flash & can result in not being able to access the network.
First look and see if your IMEI says unknown.. if it doesn't just flash a different radio

If imei starts something like 0.. its probably trashed.

I've solved the problem guys, thank you very much for your interest.
If anyone has the same problem you can uninstall CFT 1.4 Fugumod kernel and install the same CFT 1.4 but with stock kernel.
Thank you again and keep up the good work.

Can I use XDA datas on my tab?

HI guys. I am newbie of here.
Now I am using SHW-M180S which is Galaxy Tab of SK Telecom in Korea. I want to change my booting animation and use other many ROMs or MODs etc… My tab is Rooted. Can I use any XDA datas on Galaxy Tab Original Firmware of Korea? If I can't what should I do? Please help me.

hi
make sure that you know what kind of gtab you have, is it (p1000 or p1000L or p1000N) ..., and then you need to know what (version of android) your tab is running, after that, you should check your (bootloader) , is it protected or not, and finally you can start flashing roms.
hint : the best way to learn about all this stuff is doing your own, personal research. the key words are between brackets, use the search tool of xda and look for those words.
best regards ^_^

Thanks for your reply, Sifou.
I think that p1000 and other somethings are Model Number of GLOBAL version Galaxy Tab. But mine is KOREAN version and as I wrote it is SHW-M180S. And my Android version is 2.3.6 GingerBread.
But I dont know about bootloader clearly so I will search over it and try other things by myself.

Thanks for Helping
But unfortunately, I can't find my solutions at the thread. Because I am a Korean, I have Korean Firmware files.
While Searching, I found a bad news.
"Korean's Galaxy Tab(SHW-M180S) and GT-P1000's partition structure is different so if I Flash the ROM data partition does not normally activate "
This is a sentence of the thread which the developer of Korean Community uploaded in XDA. Very Sad. He is asking the solution for other developers so I should find this thread.
dear friend
there is a million way to use your beautiful galaxy tab without flashing it, you can change the launcher, and almost every thing in the interface, icons, wallpapers and so, this device is very useful, and by the way, you have the latest version of gingerbread out of the box, which is great, and as you said, your tab is rooted, which is superb! you can do whatever the google play offers, titanium backup, call recorder, etc...
think about it
i hope that i helped you, i dont want to disappoint you, i just want you to know that your tab is already great without any flashing.
best regards ^_^

Im sorry to say that the phone was bricked, and it was not possible to fix it.. : /

Do you have original box/bill that contains you imei? Or if you have noted your number, try this
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1264021
Before doing anything, once pull out battery for few minutes,and reinsert and check whether it appears back.

He doesnt need to have the original box does he? - The imei-number should also be found inside the phone when he pulls out the battery?

if these suggestions dont do the trick you are going to have Samsung repair it . That or use a service from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22983688&postcount=26 I read that some users had their emei fixed by him.
Only if above mentioned methods dont work, and if you dont want it fixed, you can find a rom with efs.img and flash it throught pc odin, with check clear efs then you get imei 4900, its generic test emei. In some countries it is blocked for service, so if you have to travel, or if country decides to block it, you need to get it fixed anyway.
