mi3 invalid imei and baseband unknown - Mi 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, after flash a rom, my mi3 doesn't detect baseband and my imei invalid. I tried to flash miui using fastboot (clear cache, data, everything using MI Recovery. Flashed dev global, stable and local roms) but still not fixed. I also tried using QPST but the memory dump is too small so I stopped. Anyone knows how to fix this? Thanks

Do you have a backup ROM using CWM? Because I had this problem before but it was fixed by restoring my previous CWM back up.
Have you seen the thread on MIUI.com about fixing IMEI on Mi3?

Ty for reply. I have done that many times but it seems that my nvram is corrupted. I dont know how but all the settings and configurations are empty including imei number. I flashed more than 10 times stock rom with different method and my baseband is back. Still the imei is missing. Then, I try to fix the imei by looking at the nvram memory dump. I injected my old imei (from mi3 service card) then the imei is back. Somehow, still no services.
I think that my nvram is badly corrupted due to random error in flashing. This is my first time having this issue because other phone (Sony Xperia) i have can easily fixed by flashing the stock rom. If only I have the hex file to compare. By the way, the memory dump is about 150kb. Too small isn't it?

Hmmm. . . . . Seems you need a really hard flash on that. You'll need to go to a service center for that.

try wiping cache data and then flash rom.

[Q] No signal after flash Team Nyx[RC5]

Like the Title says, today I've flashed Team Nix [rc5] and the phone boot without signal, and never come back, I've tried flashing AOKP build 35 (previous one), and the problem persists.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S i9000T.
Please HELP!..
Thanks
Could your problem be similar as for the i9000m?
To use any i9000 ics rom, I have to use a cm7-kg3 modem and not the one that comes with a particular custom rom.
Perhaps for the i9000t, it's the same situation?
Check the modem. Post what version you have.

Do u ve ur imei or is it changed ??? Dial *#06# in dialer and do check... if its the developer imei then u need to flash back gingerbread to get ur imei bavk...
If u ve a backup of ur efs folder even that does the job...
Hi All, thanks for the replies.
I've found the problem, but not the solution. I have a generic IMEI on my phone that doesn't match with the one in the phone sticker.
I don't have a backup of the efs folder. I've tried several Guides, including
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1264021&page=2
and the IMEI is not changing.
Is there any other way to solve this problem?

ICSSGS roms used to copy EFS folder to the internal SD card might be worth having a look there
If EFS folder is not in the SD card Flashing back to Gingerbread ROM may recover your IMEI if you have not already killed it by trying the fix in the link that you posted.
SOmetimes, EFS is backed up automatically (sometimes!).. Anyhow, one method that worked for many people is by reverting back to GB using Odin.. Hope that helps you. And as mentioned in a previous post, try to look for an EFS folder in your SD Card. Perhaps, that could help you restore your IMEI. Good luck! ^.~
Thanks, That was the case, I had a backup in the sd at Trash1000/files..
Thanks!!!.. The phone is back!

Lost IMEI

Hello, I lost IMEI data from my i9305 :\
Trying to fix it whole day, but I give up now, im done.
I tried several guides (sammobile.com/forum/showthread.php?t=15196) but nothing helps.
Basicly biggest problem I face is that when I dial to *#7284# it shows "Network is not avilable" so nothing happens, or with another method with removing EFS folder, after backuping it at SDcard1 I have no .nv_data file to modify it and fix everything.
I use SentinelROM v6.0, I tried installing some modified modems, but it was retarded from me. I installed one from orginal firmware today meanwhile I was trying to fix IMEI :\
Can anyone help me?
@edit
I dont have backup. Imei and baseband - unknown ;(
I also would like to add that I know my imei (have it written down :3), but can I somehow rebuild efs based on it :3?
I feel so lucky, I flashed orginal firmware through odin and everything is fine now I just need to upload 4.4 again, and make backup for future!
That was my lesson :3 Thread can be closed.

Mi5 64 Gb Baseband Version Unknown And No Sim Card Message. Help

Hello everybody!
After restoring with TWRP a backup of MIUI by xiaomi.eu 8.1.3.0 (MAACNDI) stable, the phone shows baseband version unknown and No SIM card message, though the SIM works perfectly fine in other phones. Also, when dialing *#06# it shows correct MEID and both IMEIs, while in settings > about phone > Status > IMEI information it shows the right MEID and IMEIs, but it shows Unknown under IMEI SV (Slot1) and IMEI SV (Slot2).
I've already tried restoring older back-ups, fastboot flashing to global rom, wiping dalvik and cache, multiple reboots. I've run out of ideas. Any ideas about how to get the baseband and the GSM function back?
Also I don't have a back-up phone and I am kind of desperate. Please Help! Thanks!
You didn't back up efs partition with twrp? You should try this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-5/how-to/xiaomi-mi5-efs-backup-restore-methods-t3432730/page8
I have a TWRP backup of the efs, but after restoring it, there is no change. Actually I think the backup is corupted and it is the culprit that broke my phone, cause when I restored the backup I accidentaly restored the efs too and after that the sim isn't recognized. I tried following the above tutorial, but I'm facing a problem with QPST cause I cannot restore the modified qcn file. It gives me the following error "Received an invalid command from the phone" and the status "Memory Restore Failed!". I don't know what to try next...
For those having the same problem after an efs restore in TWRP this is THE SOLUTION:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/how-to/fix-empty-imei-unknown-baseband-sim-t3480781
THANKS for your answer!
With which version of twrp did you back up efs partition?
The problem was generated by a bug of the TWRP recovery (seems the 3.0.2.0 version, which I used for backup and restore was the one with problems). I think the bug was fixed in later versions, so you should use the latest version to avoid the problem.
My phone is working flawlessly again.
Details about the bug that causes the problem can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=68500121&postcount=64
Cheers!
Ok Thanks i already installed last twrp and back up efs, i just wanted to be sure about this as i didn't want to go all through this process if i have any trouble

No SIM / No WIFI: qcn/xqcn files needed to restore IMEI/MAC

Hello All,
November update... It took a whole time to get my phone booting again but I don't have SIM or WIFI anymore.
I think my IMEI's are gone, even as MAC for WIFI.
I tried recovery image (that's what solved the boot problem).
I took backups but some parts seems to be corrupted so I can't recover from there.
Does someone have the (x)qcn available for flashing over QPST (or even over TWRP to change afterwards over QPST)?
I found different versions online but I think it's checked against model number; mine is: M1804D2SG (SI doesn't work)
Yes... I will change your IMEI!
Thanks!

Did you try to flash older build of stock rom?
Flash via MiFlash Tool, that worked for me
MiFlash tried,
I tried most recent version that was available, but yes that's an older version.
The corrupted data isn't even in the recovery rom.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2/how-to/how-to-fix-sensors-camera-stock-pie-10-t3914885 I saw a few people on telgram that fixed wifi and sim with flashing persist partition.

Try flashing global firmware via twrp.

Question Can someone give new NVRAM and NVDATA image to me for fixing IMEI problem

I lost my baseband and IMEI after flashing Redmi Note 11R from China Stable to EEA Stable, so I follow guides on Internet and tried to reflash it with SP Flash Tool. I use "Format All+Download" but after that, I can't boot into system but always fall into MIUI recovery 5.0 with "NV data is corrupted" message.
Then I tried to use ModemMETA, but when I press write button, I always got operation timeout error, so I think maybe those partition were damaged.
Will flashing a new image fix issues?
I can give you that files, but it won't help. If you delete nvram - than your phone will not call any more, how to fix that - only on service firmware, but when you upgrade it to miui, no phone calls. I have the same phone, same problem, and no solution. Maybe in some month

Thanks for your helping, now it can at least boot into MIUI, not recovery. But the problem is ModemMETA tool now stuck at "Connect to MD" with good nvram files. Does that means I can only use the tool with corrupted nv data? That's weird. Also, I still getting unknown baseband and IMEI with China ROM, what version and region was your MIUI when you backup those files?
I have India, but it won't help you. If you want to recover your phone, you need to flash ENG rom(Format + Download) to use Meta Modem, then write only second IMEI. I have ENG rom if you want https://disk.yandex.ru/d/HFA-nWmHW8x1Kw
But then when I come from ENG to Stock - my baseband lock, phone no detect simcard. If I flash another modem, phone see simcard on stock, but no calls. I think it's becouse of baseband from nvram, nvdata + md1img that can't be applied on new phone with out change of Imei in that files, Meta Modet can't change IMEI in that files, it can only work on empy nvram, nvdata but with that files my phone don't calls.
So you need to flash stock and use special soft life Unlocktool to repair IMEI, I will pay some guy to fix my problem becouse I don't have solution for that. I spen about week on that problem in Internet - there is no solutions yet for that mode, Redmi Note 11E, 11R, 10 5G (light).
