Help with IMEI Unknown - RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Good morning,
This cellphone is from a cousin which already sent this phone twice to techservice and it came back this way. Everything seems to be working except that it has no IMEI and no baseband.
What I know is it was never flashed with custom images, just official ones and it is currently with Android 4.4.2.
Any ideas?
Thank you in advance!

Hi, easy way, go to play store and download this apk Network Mode, and change the frecuency of the radio, press the tree pionts ,select Automatic, let he apk works; when finished check your baseand and imei back again, cheers.

Hi! Thanks for your answer! I did exactly what you said, but when I try to select Automatic it just says it failed. Any ideas?!

Hummmm, if you try whit Euro or Usa banda?

Tried every single option, same result

The rom , is an update from a recovery or you douwnload the update fron the ROM?

As far as I know, the update was downloaded from within JellyBean.

One time have the same isue like you, I solved this way, ...............................................

[Q] MIUI ROM problem

Hello
I like the MIUI Rom and i tried to installed it.
But i still got some problems, There are none mobile networks available.
Also when i lock the phone and i try to unlock it, sometimes the phone screens stays black. It doesn't respond. When I wait a while it just reboots.
Does anyone knows how this is possible?
Thanks in advance.
BTW sorry for the bad english
For the mobile network bit you probably need to enter the apn manually. Not sure about the lockscreen.

Hello, I installed on my i9000 DBT the MIUI RC2, beautiful, but does not work the radio part. It is still offline, I have a sim TIM Italy. I cut exactly the instructions in the first post, the installation is successful and everything else works. What can I do?
I would add that is not an issue of apn, the signal just does not hook to work without even the voice part.
Check you IMEI code using *#06# I can be 100% sure that it is either shown nothing or is will be shown 0049****
In both cases your EFS Backup has failed, and the best solution is to reflash JP1 and start again.
Follow my guide for installing MIUI and the JP1 files are also there for downloading.
Now that I put the standard JKV the imei is right, I did not check first, now try again with your guide ...
I followed step by step guide, and everything went well. But there is still no network. The IMEI is right, only thing I changed is that by putting the JP1 I used the pit 512, because using the pit803 at the restart instead perform all the usual procedures gave an error. I hope this problem will be solved soon and that they are supported in all languages, including Italian
Of course sometimes the technology is really strange! after a few minutes while I was taking the phone back to JVK, the network was hooked!
Just a pity there is not my language ....

HTC Vivid Radio/Baseband issue

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

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?

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.

No Sim Detected LG Optimus 2x :(

Hi
My phone suddenly stopped detecting all sim cards ( I have tried various working sims ).
It is running CM 7.2 and has been running cm 7.2 for a few months with no problems.
Today I took out the sim and put it back in to reboot, all was fine. I went to shower, came back and the sim suddenly stopped being detected.
I have tried to google but it seems most problems are to do with flashing a new rom and having the sim not work, my case is that the rom has been the same for a few months.
I have tried to flash different roms and I still have the same problem. I have a gut feeling it is the hardware that reads the sim that is faulty.
I have read something about a baseband, I dont know what that is but if it helps, when i go to the settings and click on 'about phone'
It says there is a baseband and it is version something. There are no question marks or anything like that.
I appreciate the help and would love some more troubleshooting suggestions.
The worst case scenario is unrooting it, flashing stock rom and send it back to warranty. I actually don't know how to do that so if anyone has a guide lying around please link me on that.
I have similar problem with new boot loader.
Download getril app from play store and see if your baseband is OK. If not, download and flash matching baseband from development thread. You will loose all personal data and your apps after flashing. Then download new ril with getril and reboot. Good luck...
This method was no helpful for me. Maybe you will have better luck.

Thanks for the reply,
When I first opened getril, it said RIL not found, I did not have one. I downloaded one and then it said RIL does not match. I then redid it on another firmware and it now says RIL and Baseband matches. Is this enough? The only weird thing is the baseband has canada and europe in it. I am from Australia. How do i tell which baseband/ril I need?

First you flash BB, then download RIL with GetRil. Read completely through BB sticky topic in development section. All answers are there.

You can flash as much as you want, none of that will help. Had same issue once, flashed almost everything there was through SmartFlash, NVflash and all of that. This is what you need to do:
First, remove the battery from your phone. Write down the IMEI. Now boot up your phone, write *#06# and see if the IMEI that pops up is the same as the one you saw behind the battery. If not, let us know and I'll hand you the solution, but first check if the IMEI matches.

I checked the IMEI and it matches.
I have some extra information if it helps, when I choose a random RIL from getril, the battery might become a ? mark and the sim card not detected error doesnt show anymore, however when I put it back to the original RIL, my battery bar starts showing the 'power left' and also the sim not detecting error shows again.

I get the SIM Toolkit Incompatible Handset error and then whether I press OK or Cancel, shortly after I lose mobile network access. I've been trying all manner of different things, Smart Flashing, NVflashing, changing basebands, Rils, you name it.
I'm currently on the V30B root ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2064793 and the Ril matches the baseband from that ROM, but that hasn't helped either. So I went and check the in phone and behind battery IMEI and they are different! I'd love to hear what your solution to this is!

IMEI Solution
If IMEI does NOT match, you will need to do this:
Check if you can get in a menu by typing 1809#*990#. If you can't, you will need to use a GB ROM (I remember I used Homero's GB NVFlash as I was on ICS bootloader and couldn't get access to it on ICS). Follow these steps if you are sure you can get into the menu:
1) Connect your phone by USB.
2) Enter 1809#*990# in dialer.
3) Select Port Setting -> Select CP USB
4) Install a program called Hyperterminal on your PC and open it. In COM settings select same port as in device manager -> LGE Mobile USB Seial Port (should be 115200)
5) Type at%imei and it should respond by saying OK
6) Now type at%imei and it should now display your current IMEI number.
7) Type at%imei=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX where X is your original IMEI number.
8) Reset phone.
You might have to reboot your phone after step 3. But see if it works without.
I have been thinking that this is a hardware issue, I have not changed a single setting/rom/baseband at all, the sim just wasnt detecting when I came back to my phone. The rom and settings were the same for a number of months.
I am now going to give it in to warranty, however it only has 1 month left. I have tried to install the stock firmware but with no luck..
I found a rom to flash for my region, it is a zip file but when I try flash it with Clockworkmod, it says installation aborted....
Shouldnt I be able to flash the roms with CWM? The file is a zip file just like the CM7.2 rom I flashed. Do I need nvflash instead? I found the rom here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1852112 (the download links were removed so I googled the exact same rom)
I was also told that if I just use the LG update tool, it sohuld automatically update the phone to stock firmware AND unroot it, only that the update tool gives me an error. Whats the best approach guys?? I need to get this fixed before my warranty goes.

Your imei should not show in settings, it should show in the back of your battery and when you dial : *#06# into the phone (where you dial numbers for calls).
Cant help you with baseband.
OP here, I am trying to unroot my phone and put stock firmware to get warranty to fix the simcard reader ( i believe it is a hardware issue ).
If I use nvflash and flash any stock firmware I can find on the internet, will that be OK? I have a feeling each region of optimus 2x has slight differences in firmware, eg swedish stock roms and australian stock roms may differ in the default applications etc.
Will it be ok to just install any kind of stock rom for my warranty? Help would be appreciated my warranty is running out in less than a month now.
I also tried to flash stock firmware with CMW, it didnt work. I am about to try NVflash, so I went into greater detail in page 1 but no one replied yet. If you guys know please help. I am more familiar with CMW than NVflash. I have not used NVflash yet.

this is also the best metod for unbricking your phone, .
INSTALLATION:
ATTENTION
The flasher with NVFlash clears all memory, including the Internal SD., so make a backup if u can..
Download this file: http://bayfiles.com/file/yKZL/eGZ31A/driver.rar The pack includes the APX driver (folder driver)

I managed to get an old CM7 install back on the p990,but the above is still not working for me :/
After I finish typing in 1809#*990# in dialer, nothing happens. If I press the green phone handset icon to dial that number it comes up with an error message of "Mobile network not available".
Any further advice? Thanks.
Okay, I failed at reading comprehension – it has to be an LG Gingerbread ROM for this code to work, NOT a CM-based one!
Trying one from somewhere-I-cannot-link-to-yet
Success! Once I was back on the original stock LG Gingerbread ROM, I could reset the IMEI and make/receive calls again using this method. Thank you very much!
Now all flashed back onto a nice "working" nightly CM10.1 and a very happy little device.
Many thanks all.
Hi,
Anyone have a working link to "progmaq-default-cm-10-20121105 ". My Optimus 2x has been bricked as well, and can't find any other version of this on Google unfortunately
Appreciate all help.

i537 no sound at all (calls, music, ringtones)

Hi, I hope you guys can help me get this phone back to usable state. Recently I got a S4 Active i537 that was stuck on ATT logo, so I did a little research on how to restore the stock firmware to get it working again and came across with various threads; I finally downloaded the I537UCUBML2 stock rom and used Odin 3.07 to flash the files all worked fine except the BL_I537UCUBML2_2244695_REV06_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar but th phone booted anyways so I thinked that was the end of my problems. But after putting a sim the phone did not get any signal so I checked the about screen on settings and found that the IMEI and BaseBand were blank.
I did another search to fix that and finally could make the imei and baseband came again by flashing the Modem.bin 50,791kb file found in the GPS IMEI FIX THREAD but after getting signal I realized the phone was completely muted and calls were not working, at first I believed it was a hardware problem but now Im pretty sure that it must be some software issue because it wont even play music, ringtones. When trying to open a mp3 it shows a message saying Unsupported.
Back when it was stuck on ATT logo it was making the att boot sound so Im pretty sure that the problem its in the software itself. Please help me find the correct rom/firmware to get it working again.

Flash the NE3 firmware so you'll be on 4.4.2 and see if that fixes things. If not, report back.
Would you please share the link to that? I don't want to mess this phone even worse by downloading wrong files. Thank you

G800F back cover warning

Hello, i bought my phone ages ago. No problems what so ever(exept gone through 2 new batteries already, but i assume its my idiocy).
Gone through rooting, CM12 (5.0.0 (LP) i believe?) and then installed original fresh ROM. Now factory settings and not rooted for last 6 months or so.
At Christmas i bought myself a flip cover with fancy little useless window (known as S-View).
Installed it and everything looked good until few hours later, phone started popping back cover warnings, everytime i unlock the phone.
Then got it worse, phone started to woke up itself and pop up the warning, then lock itself again and over and over again.
Removing the cover worked, then i installed it and it worked again. Then i changed SD and it started that sh*t again!
So i bought new SD card hoping it will solve situation (ADATA 64GB, UHS1, Class10) after reading stuff about frying SD cards and error codes that trigger the warning.
Here i am, phone keeps doing that over and over again. Thought i would find help in here, or somewhere else, but no good.
Can someone help me?
Phone is used, last owner "didnt fully ulitized its functions" so he sold it to me. Phone runs on 4.4.2 (KK) which is kinda sad for me, because i keep waiting for official update (im stupid).
Could some custom kernel solve this? I like TouchWiz (bash me again) and i found having native functions (like sensors, ir controller, screensharing and other comfy fat stuff built in) rather usefull than bloatware, so thats why i left CM.
Any help appreciated. And excuse my english.
Same problem, on 4.4.2 without root and waiting for official update. I have tried every advice from the internet to no avail.
I have learned to live with it and hope that with a firmware update it will go away.
So, I don't know why you have this problem (I never bought a flip cover for my phone,I hate it), but you are for the third time (I think) a stupid (no offense) because now there's the CM13 with a bit more feature supported than CM12. However you can try to flash Touchwiz 5.1.1 and see what happen, if you didn't yet. It doesn't matter if the update it isn't released yet for your country, just flash an update for the G800F.
If you are root you can use the link2sd app and freeze a system app called PopupuiReceiver and the back cover warning will dissapear.
I hope this helps you. Sorry for my English.

Ehy man, Youmobile didn't say nothing yet but they are 100% official and you will not lose your data if you download Cyprus 5.1.1 and flash it via Odin. You can find all 5.1.1 release on Sammobile and if you download a Vodafone branded rom you need a PIT file. Try it.

I got T-mobile(sim) but completelly operator-free rom and i would like to make it, like it is.
In another words, can you tell me if the other xxxxBOLx versions will work instead of my xxxxAOlx version?
I'll go for operator free, as i mentioned before, so the "PDA" version as sammobile says is the only one thing that bugs me about flashing my phone.

The only thing that i can say to you is that i flashed the Italy Vodafone rom (with PIT file) and it works well. (I'm from Italy so you can understand). However every G800F rom can be flashed (with PIT file if it's a branded rom like Vodafone). This rom has G800FXXU1BOL4 version and it works with every G800F. So, I recommend you the Cyprus one because is no-branded and it doesn't need the PIT (also the Germany no-branded one but is less updated). However you can install the Vodafone one but you need the PIT file. (and I can give it to you)

Thats what i wanted to hear. Thanks :good:
So today i tried to flash. Successfully. System looks like it has more stability built in, visually, its almost like KK. The popup seems to be gone. Only one thing that surprised me "Google Play Service Error" which tends to stay in loop. Uninstaled and reinstalled, hopefully it will work. Sadly Cyprus is a Vodafone. So gonna find another, less annoying rom - Germany, atleast until my country gets official release.
For those who wanna flash, use AP tab in Odin (if you ever flashed before, the tab was called "PDA" now its AP - "Android Phone") and let the phone deal with itself, i panicked and reflashed twice, just because i was nervous.
Happy Easter.
Another edit: The German ROM has everyday bloatware in, however, it can be uninstalled without much pain, by simply dragging it up -> Uninstall. So far, so good. Cheers.
