Hello,
I have searched multiple forums for hours today and have figured out what is going on with my HTC Vivid. (It has been upgraded to AT&T Official ICS.)
It was working fine up until yesterday where it was not receiving a signal from the mobile network and the signal icon has an X through it. The SIM card is properly inserted and another SIM card has been tried as well. Looking through other threads it seems like the Radio RIL files may be missing or corrupt. The IMEI number and *#06# code does not show an IMEI number either. The baseband version says unknown. I am not sure what happened as I have never loaded any other ROM on it.
I downloaded the Official RUU ICS upgrade ROM today and tried reflashing it, with no luck.
What is interesting (and the other person who had the radio problem) is that when I left the phone sit off overnight and then turned it on in the morning, the phone connected to the mobile network and I had a signal. When I restarted the phone, hours later, the phone lost connection to the mobile network and that is when I started digging and found the problem with the baseband version being unknown.
Is there anything anyone can suggest? Can I reflash the baseband files or copy them from someone somehow using ADB? It seems like there is where my problem lays. I've searched for ways on how to downgrade from ICS to the official GB stock rom, but it doesn't seem like it can be accomplished.
(I tried downloading the Holiday Cingular version of the GB stock rom but the update failed. I read about the ICS HBOOT version being different and not allowing it.)
Thank you in advance for helping and any suggestions.
Have you gotten a new sim card yet? That needs to be your first step. My captivate did the same thing and turned out the sim went bad

Yes I have tried a different sim card. I don't believe thats the issue though being that it worked with the same sim after I let the phone sit overnight. From reading about others experience, it doesn't seem that the sim is the issue but more the baseband version and imei information missing.

I had a similar problem and thought I solved it, but I later realised all my "solutions" didn't bring back the network but coincided with its reappearing cos no same "solution" worked more than once.
It's a very weird problem as the network shows up once in a while and when I'm using Mobile Network for Data, my phone hangs again and the IMEI, Network, baseband disappears on reboot...till further notice. I gave up trying and concluded it's either a bad modem (hardware) or something AT&T knows about!
You can get HBOOTS for both GB and ICS via Hasoons AIO kit
Flash the HBOOT, Flash the Image from Cingular GB RUU and I wish you luck!!!

I found the download link, but the website says they're updating their drives, so who knows how much longer that will take.
Also, are you saying I should just use the tools within the kit to flash the HBOOT back to the previous version compatible with GB and then flash the RUU GB image after? Can I do that with the phone connected via USB or does it have to be flashed from the SD card? If it has to be flashed from the SD card, how do I go about doing that? If it can be done from the phone via USB, does the phone have to be in recovery mode?
I have tried reflashing the ICS RUU multiple times w/ version 3.26.502.52 and 3.26.502.56, both do not fix the issue. Do the baseband and or radio files NOT get flashed within these updates?
Thanks for the response!

For any issues downloading Hasoon AIO tool, please use his thread (earlier provided).
Yes, use the AIO tool to flash GB HBOOT or read the SUPERGUIDE
and obtain rom.zip from the Cingular RUU
I don't know how to flash RUU via Recovery [email protected]@@!!!
I'd advice you follow my first solution here!!!

Thanks for the quick reply.
Your thread was the one I saw earlier with the simliar problem that I am having, only I have not loaded any custom ROMS. The phone just stopped receiving the signal the other day. I am still waiting for the download website to become available to use the tool to perform the flash of HBOOT, however, once I do that, will that erase the ICS rom from my phone? If so, what steps do I have to perform to get it in a "download mode" to accept the AT&T GB RUU? I'm a little confused on that part.
I read your first thread and I am a bit confused on exactly how you were able to correct the baseband/RIL issue (which I am assuming is the root of my issue). Do I have to extract some files from the RUU executable? Are the commands you provided to be used in ADB? I am confused as to what to do with [setprop ro.baseband 3.26.5XXX (<--- mainver: in android-info.txt in RUU.zip)] from your post. If that command is copying a file or just setting information (almost like as a registry setting within Windows) to point to the file or set a version number. Also if the XXX needs to have a certain number.
I thank you for your time and am trying my hardest to understand what to do to accomplish these steps.

I did find the extracted files within the RUU executable and found the rom.zip which included the .img files among other files I assume needed as sources to flash the phone. I see a radio.img file would I be able to do anything with that?
Thank you.

And I have a question, if the radio/baseband files are included in the RUU flash, what is happening as to why it is not being reflashed, or if it is being reflashed, why it is disabling the mobile network and providing an Unknown version to Baseband and clearing the IMEI number?

Here's where I am:
I successfully unlocked my bootloader, downgraded to GB, rooted. Tried to gain root access through adb terminal but it was not working properly.
I relocked my bootloader. Installed the ICS RUU AT&T ROM update. Unlocked my bootloader, rooted.
I see the commands you ran in your previous post. I am also receiving the same message of N/A when running the getprop ro.baseband
I tried the second command setprop ro.baseband 3.26.5XXX and then restarted the phone. I have tried it as posted, and also with swapping out the version that is located in my android-info.txt file: 3.26.502.56
Still no luck with setting the baseband version. IMEI still is cleared out.
Am I doing something wrong?

All the previous steps I took were only a coincidence (not proven to work)!!!
We may need to contact AT&T to be sure its not a lock IMEI (and I'm wondering why it would be) or an experienced Dev

Hey thanks for all of your suggestions. I contacted AT&T the day everything happened to see if it was on the block list. They said no. I tried multiple things including trying to re-flash the radio, but I was getting a signature failed error that I could not get around. I really think that's what the problem is. I gave up and ended up selling it.

Exactly. It was my sister's phone. The sh*tty thing is we bought two off of ebay at the same time, 1 for me, 1 for her. Well, her phone was not in the box (either never shipped or stolen) so I had to file a claim through eBay which took 3 weeks to get the money back. Meanwhile, I gave her my phone (which is the phone in reference) to use instead. I bought her an iPhone instead now, along with purchasing one myself. I loved Android, but the bugs and fragmentation is getting too much for me to handle.
Dude, if you don't have an IMEI showing up, something is WAY wrong. That goes beyone the RIL not working... The RIL is probably fine. If your phone doesn't have an IMEI somehow, the cell towers are NOT, NO WAY, NEVER EVER going to register your phone on their network. You can put a billion SIM cards in there, or flash a billion stock ROMS, and if you don't have an IMEI, you will never be able to connect.
Something is probably corrupt or broken in your firmware or the hardware itself. I think your device is probably screwed.
My advice, is follow the steps to put your phone back to stock (including changing the bootloader message back to **LOCKED** and S-ON), and get it back to the phone company. They will be able to tell something is boned on the phone right away since it isn't displaying an IMEI.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news and for your many wasted hours... But on the plus side, you now know a LOT about flashing and how your phone works now
Good luck with everything man! Hope they get you up and running soon!
I have the same problem as the OP but I have a IMEI showing up and a Basehand But won't connect to AT&T or anything they resent me a Signal & everything it shows a X with no bars it happened after I did a Factory Reset
anyone got the Radio.img?

That's weird..you try creating the apns again? I don't see how a factory reset would do that. Try toggling airplane mode too

I am currently having the same issues right now, it works if i leave the phone off for 1 hr it will work until i reboot then its down again, tried every thing possible, airplane mode will crash, reflashing the radios from gb and ics does nothing, setprop does nothing really. from this point it feels like a hardware issue.
sorry to revive an old thread, i just wanted to know if anyone came across this issue and had it fixed
i will get a log to see if there is errors showing up
Return it.

First time poster, long time lurker, absolute phone novice.
I am using a i9305 (Hong Kong model, bought from Kogan Australia). I am based in Malaysia. Before all this I just popped my sim card in and utilised the stock ROMs. No issues with 4G or network whatsoever, but the phone got really slow after 4.3 to I decided to install CM11 using Heimdall.
Long story short, I absolutely screwed it up, and the phone showed the "software fail" screen. After scouring XDA and undertaking a number of fixes which didn't work (I'm scared this is what screwed my phone), I finally worked out to flash the Hong Kong stock 4.3 ROM using Odin,which brought my phone back to me. However, now I can only pick up Edge and barely get network reception. It is definitely not a sim issue as my sim in my wife's identical i9305 picks up 4G and network within a second of switching on.
I've searched every thread but cannot find an answer which works.I've flashed a whole bunch of modems but to no avail. I hope I haven't screwed my phone. Threads I've utilised include:

Have you tried wiping your cache in stock recovery (or whatever recovery you have, I can't really tell from your post)? I think you had problems with CM11 since you likely dirty flashed (no wipe of cache, data and system) and used Heimdall instead of flashing it through a custom recovery.
Possible answer

When you wipe the whole system to change to another rom, there is always a good chance that you can lose the modem during the process. Rom's may come with their on custom modem , but may not be fully compatible. try to download and flash with odin the modem of the stock rom once again. Your problem is related with the modem
Sorry for not responding, I was in Korea for work and left the bad phone back at home for the past 3 weeks.
I tried the clearing cache, but no good.
I will try flash the stock modem now (see below I notice the difference).
I noticed while syncing my google account that the IMEI on my phone had changed. Would this have anything to do with the issues I am facing? The below is my "before and after".

Stock modem didn't work.
Factory reset, odin flashed the stock software again (with the stock modem). Same issue.
Followed instructions on this page for missing IMEI: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...warning-guide-backup-restore-imei-nv-t1946915
Tried *#06# but still no IMEI.
Any solutions?
Tried everything I read in lyquidperfection's awesome mega-thread, but nothing works. still got a /01 when I type *#06# and in the 'about' section it now shows IMEI: Unknown.
Everything else works fine, just the internet is stuck on Edge.
so I tried a few more things today but to no avail.
The IMEI shows up as "Unknown" in the phone settings and when I do *#06* I get a /01 message.
However, when I check my IMEI against my Google account, I get the above number.
Any suggestions as how to fix?
as of today, new modem is being release. I9305XXUFNI3
info here
for modem u can read this
download links from page, or this link
im quite new, but i hope this helps.
Thanks. Didn't work, still Edge.
Going to try flash again.
You could try running a different country's stock ROM, or maybe seeing whether you get 4G while using a custom ROM (Liquidsmooth maybe).

1. Restore a working QCN backup (like this one) http://www.mediafire.com/download/4j...4_19-53-39.rar through the download tool of the QPST suite
2. Change the IMEI to match yours. <<<<. DON'T SKIP THIS STEP. There are many way to do this, i used RF NV manager. I can't be more specific since this topic is off-limits on XDA.
3. Perform a factory reset.
I can't test LTE connection, because where I live there is no coverage, but I'll try as soon as I can.

Hi. I got a serious trouble please some one help me. Strangely yesterday my xt 1254 ran out of service i checked but didn't find sim menu. And baseband unknown while imei was missing too.

And aftee that the problem continues for sometime baseband works after sometime it gets unknown no sim no imei please help me to get out of this. Thanks
Looks like no one helps noobs
Not that no one helps noobs, but not many people check here any more.
1) The real Droid Turbo forum is over at Moto Maxx, where all the updated Moto Quark custom ROMs are.
2) This phone is 4 years old. No one comes here anymore with a "new" problem. So, feel free to SEARCH for previous answers.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/search/forum/3715?query=baseband
3) Are you still running stock firmware? Is your bootloader unlocked and you're on a custom ROM? What version firmware are you running? You don't mention any of that, which may be relevant.
* If you're still on stock, the best thing to do is reflash same firmware or newer to reset the modem. Be very careful it's not older firmware, or you will brick the phone (if your bootloader is still locked).
* If you're running custom ROM, the best thing is to flash the BHB27 clear modem file in TWRP and then reflash your modem in TWRP. There's TWRP-FLASHABLE modem zip files available for all Moto QUARKS.
A single answer and i got all i want. Thank you chazzmatt. The problem was faulty baseband chip cz mistakenly my brother fell down the device. Repair guy said me he changed the chip and now all set. Thank you buddy and thanks xda
