Hi.
I have a problem.
Radio band lost in my captivate.
No sim card initialisation.
I put sim card in it... but nothing.
In settings radio shows unknown.
Att captivate.
Can you provide a few more details of your situation?
What rom are you using?
Who is your network provider?
What happened just before you lost your phone connection?
It sounds like you might have a messed up /efs folder, but we would need some additional information to be sure.
Rom was slim ics 4.0.4
I downloaded some programs from play market. And was playing with them.
When it lost i went back to stock gb 2.3
I have tried several sim cards... but all the same
Ok, that sounds like a bad /efs folder.
When you put in a SIM card and go to the settings-about phone-status page, do you see anything under IMEI?
Nothing.
Phone number, network, mobile network type, Imei and imei sv show unknown.
Also baseband version is unknown too
Then you have a messed up /efs folder. There is a post in the development section that tells you how to fix it - here.

My phone was stolen last night and I need my IMEI, I cannot find my original box and I need IMEI asap to bring it to police.
I have found my efs backup but I dont know how to read IMEI from it. Any solutions?
I managed to recover my IMEI from my operator. Thread to close.

hi,
got the phone for repair. under baseband version is unknown, IMEI is unknown, IMEISV is unknown, *#06# comes up with null/null.
i read all the guides i could find and tried everything. found the apps that could help me but cant seem to get the phone recognized with them (QPST, NV-items reader writer, Qualcomm NV Tools that comes with EFS pro)
drivers are ok, ports are recognized, everything is as it should be but in QPST under phone it says "no phone", NV-items reader writer says "Failed.. Phone does not answer" and Qualcomm NV Tools "Unable to send SPC to the phone!"
tried with RNDIS+DM+MODEM and DM+MODEM+ADB and EFS professionals auto switch while launching Qualcomm NV Tools from EFS professional.
does it matter which options are selected on the first page of "service mode"?
UART
modem
pda - selected
USB
modem
pda - selected
although i tried with modem selected also
phone was stock but couldnt get it to be recognized, then rooted (supersu, busy box)and the problem is the same.
i managed to get it connected to EFS professional, but with it i can only backup and restore already corrupted EFS.. cant modify the backup to enter/fix the IMEI.. and simply backup/restore as some have suggested doesnt fix the problem
flashing param doesnt help, flashing different stock doesnt help.. havent tried "Perseus Kernel" which seems to help some, as im sure it would "fix" the problem.. but i need the phone to be stock and in working condition.. also the friend who gave me the phone sad that this just "happened", he didnt do anything.. the IMEI just disappeared
tnx to everyone in advance
no one :/
have you followed instruction here step by step? http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...warning-guide-backup-restore-imei-nv-t1946915
this guide does not use EFS Pro. I can't really help. I never managed to brick my phone like that. If the phone won't be recognized it could be that the USB port is broken. Had happened to many S3's, I had to get mine fixed twice. Or are you able to get a connection to your PC?
My IMEI shows 350000000000006. Most of the advice I've seen on this is to flash the stock firmware. I've tried this multiple times and it hasn't worked for me. I don't have a backup of the EFS partition that I can restore, but I do know what the actual IMEI is. I'm not really sure where to go from here. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Chad
There is no way to fix that, I was facing the same problem after I updated my phone to Nougat, after trying every possible solution i.e. Odin flash, factory reset, contacting T-Mobile, I couldn't find a solution, and I had to get it fixed by a Z3X box, so find a good repair shop with Z3X box, and they will repair it for you, also, changing the IMEI is illegal in some countries, so you may have difficulties finding someone to repair your phone. After the repair, I couldn't upgrade to Nougat and I am stuck with Marshmallow because the Z3X fix didn't support Nougat at that time (a month ago).
My friend asked me to fix her phone and I am seeing the same thing, however when I boot to download mode and use the "show barcode" option (push home button instead of vol+) it shows me the proper IMEI, and the IMEI is also printed on the back of the phone. I thought that maybe because I can still see the IMEI in the "show barcode" that the EFS partition is not corrupt, but I'm starting to think it definitely is...
If I remember correctly you can change your IMEI with an Xposed module.
This had happened to me before theres 2 ways to solve this
Either replace the motherboard with another one
or take it into your carrier and say the sim card doesnt work(make sure its on stock firmware
phone dnt detect simcard. has empty imei and unknown gsm baseband version. I use maui meta and sn imei writer, flashtool. nothing change. Also i tried to backup imei 0000. not helping this. any idea or solve this problem before?
