Radio lost.... need help - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

Can someone post recovery image for cappy?? pls. found utility but dont have a valid image for restore. pls help anyone.

here you go, bottom post.

Have tried with this. But no good.
Need img file for restore...

used this tool to restore nv data.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1308546
but it needs a valid efs image file.
but mine is corrupted.
pls need valid efs backup image to restore mine....

[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.

[HELP] No IMEI, CSC Unknown, no SIM Card not recognized

After I flashed my I8190 with a custom ROM it has the following problems No IMEI (null/null), CSC Unknown, no SIM Card not recognized, but my baseband is recognized (i8190xxamg4)
I read that it might a problem with the EFS folder and that it can be fixed over the nv_data file, but i don´t have the nv_data.bin file in the efs folder.
i have tried every single fix available on the Q&A Forum, flashing stock rom + pit, flashing new baseband even modemfs files and the EFS backup from the thread above but it still doesn´t work.
Does anyone have a nv_data.bin, so i can use it to get my imei back and edit it to my original one, or is there any other fix.
please help me, i really need to get my phone working again asap
thanks in advance
anyone?

[Q] No sim detected after flashing custom rom.

I forgot to take backup of efs folder. I found the imei number from the box that the phone came with. I need help to fix the imei issue. Error "No sim detected'. I have Micromax Canvas A250. I have installed colossus Samsung S5 custom rom. I have my IMEI number and I would like to know if there is any option for me to create an EFS folder and add IMEI number to fix this issue. WIFI works just fine. Please help me fix this as I am unable to make any call or use 3G data. I have backedup 'apps+data' option on Titanium backup and copied it in phone and PC. Does it help? Please help me fix it.
Thanks and Regards

URGENT: Re-installed Stock Firmware (update-6.0.1) - NO NETWORK ACCESS

Hey, everyone, I need some help:
On my SM-920G, I re-installed stock 6.0.1 (last official update before 7.0) and, now, I don't have access to the network (says emergency calls only). IMEI and serial number are both intact. What can I do to regain access to my network? I know it's not a motherboard problem because it happened after flashing stock software. I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR HELP.
Thank you,
VinceLupe

I would remove and reinstall your SIM card and check your APN settings.

Did you install the right firmware for your region? You should check that or flash right modem file. If all else fails use kies to restore phone to factory or flash a custom rom and check if everything works.

So, I actually had to have an IMEI change... Long story - but, my question now is: is it possible to return to stock (completely stock) and NOT lose my IMEI number? I've heard some people say, "yes," and O be heard some people say, "no." Is it possible?

I don't think there is any risk of losing IMEI if you flash stock with odin, but if you have root then firstly take an efs backup, just in case, efs is where your IMEI is stored.

What is the safest way and most effective way to take an EFS backup?

If you have root then in the root folder you will find a folder called efs. Just copy it and save it to your SD card or your computer. If you have custom recovery then you can save it from the backup option but I guess that won't help much if you flash stock with odin then it will remove your custom recovery. There are also some apps on the play store but I never used them, I use the first method.

Yeah, I'm just on stock, so that won't work - but, now I have another issue:
So, here's what happened... I got my IMEI changed, and all was good. But, then I realized that my phone was rooted. I tried to flash magisk to have magisk installed, and then my phone wouldn't boot up. Afterwards, I flashed stock to restore official device status, but when I did so, I realized that my network wasn't working. My IMEI (clean IMEI) is still showing, but I DO NOT have any access to my network and can't search the web or anything. What could be the issue, and what is the easiest way to fix it?

Did you flash the correct firmware? The same region as it was when it was working? Flashing a stock rom from a different region sometimes causes this and you need to flash the right one or at least the 'modem' file of the right one to get it working. Or you could use Samsung Kies software to completely recover your phone to its original state when it was bought. Also, What do you mean by saying changed IMEI? Did it not show it correctly or got corrupted and you fixed it? or you changed it completely to a different one from the original?
If you have a good IMEI just call your provider and give them your IMEI and your sim card numbers.

CodeNameRedNeck,
So, I have a good IMEI number, but I cannot register the network service. It tells me "Emergency Calls Only" even though it shows a signal in the top right hand corner. Are you saying that I just need to call TIGO (I am in Bolivia) and register my IMEI number as well the SIM card numbers - or, could it be that there is an even deeper issue? Also, which SIM card numbers are you talking about? Thank you, my friend.

Mufrad,
I completely changed the IMEI to a clean one because, apparently, when I traded for the Note 5 (I am in Bolivia, and that's what people do here), the original IMEI was put on the blacklist. So, now I have a completely different IMEI that is clean (unreported), but I do not have any network access at all - furthermore, when I access the menu using *#0011#, it says "IMEI Status: NG" under IMEI Status. I'm not sure if it's a software problem? I have a friend looking at the phone, but I do not have any idea how it's going because he still hasn't been able to fix it.

When my son switched from an iphone to Android we had to call AT&T and give them those numbers before it worked. I had an Xperia phone that I had to do the same with. There are apps that can read your sim card number. It should also be printed on your sim card.
