[Q] baseband, imei, imsi, phone number all unknown. no signal...

Hi there
Ok starting from the start.
My phone is not rooted (it is still s-on).
The phone was bought on ebay a couple months ago.
It has been working fine.
Yesterday, when pressing the power button to unlock, the lights came on but the screen did not.
This happened a number of times after rebooting the phone, then eventually it randomly came on again.
However, the signal, never came back. The phone thinks it's in 'airplane mode' when I press call. There is no airplane icon up top. I have turned airplane mode on and off each way, rebooted, hard reset and cleared all the data from sd card and phone. Wifi works, but signal is still 0.
Still same problem.
When pressing further, I noticed in the 'About' section of the phone, that the BASEBAND is UNKNOWN! So is the imei number etc.
I did a few google searches and couldn't find much; although it was suggested that I reflash the stock rom. I am unsure how to do this.
Please could somebody point me in the right direction, because I am panicing here.
Thanks very much

You can use the European version in Canada as well just fine if you happen to be here.
I flashed it to upgrade my radio version to get rid of GPS issues while using Jikantaru's XE ROM and it worked.
Ended up using the Euro version as my main ROM until 7.2 of Cyanogen from Alquez came out.
Still have an issue with the wifi in that so I, at Alquez's suggestion, use the libril.so from that Euro stock rom in Cm7.2 and it works much better.
The Euro stock release was solid in all regards, strong wifi, GPS, phone signal, etc.
Just follow the instructions on how to flash a stock rom.

Thanks guys. Will let you know how it goes.
I just turned the phone on without a sim card and it all came back (nothing was 'unknown'. Does this mean that the sim has something to do with it!?

[Q]Cant send MMS

After i flashed 4.0.2 radio, i cant send mms anymore.. I got the apn from my mobile provider (Telenor), but its stuck on "Sending"...
Any one ?

Is mobile data enabled? Do you actually have a data connection? Unless your provider gave you the wrong information.

I still have lots of problems sending MMS. 4.0.2 running Android Revolution 2.1.2, with the leaked 4.0.3 radios. It was a problem when I was still 100% stock, too. Pretty bothersome.
3G, WiFi (which I'm pretty sure isn't supposed to work with MMS anyway), nothing. Sometimes when I reboot and retry sending it will go, but mostly just sits in sending mode forever. Frustrating.

Might just have a defective phone. Go back to stock and lock it up and take it to your phone company

go back to your previous radio? or pick another to test.
btw, radios are location and carrier specific..
which is why it works better for some an not others..
ppl should stop referring to radios with a link to rom versions..

[Q] Cellular network download issue

Here's the problem.
I installed many roms and kernels on my gnex since i bought it. Lately i came across a strange problem. If i install codename android, gummynex or foxhound with any kernel or radio i'm unable to download over cellular network. If i install android revolution hd or cyanogenmod 9 nightly its work even if i change the kernel or radio ??
Now when i say it doesnt download...my signals bar are max out on hspa+ but it aint blue, its gray. Usually when there is activity an arrows appears to show it. In my case case i only see the up arrow. I also when look under the *#*#4636#*#* menu and i data being uploaded but download is a 0. Ping test didnt work. Signal strength is around -85db. Preferred network is set to GSM/CDMA auto (PRL). I also tried to change it to GSM auto (PRL) and GSM only without success. I played with airplane mode. I tried turning on and off cellular data. Nothing works.
For now I'm on CyanogenMod 9 Nightly Build with Franco Kernel 16.2 and Gaaps 4.0.4 with XXKL1 radio. I have a Bell GSM Galaxy Nexus and my carrier is Rogers.
Does anyone have an idea of to fix it ?
P.S. I tried to wipe data/cache + dalvik + system.

I'd check your APN settings - sounds like some ROMs have the right ones, while the others may not.
Settings --. More --> Mobile networks --> Access Point Names
You can google around for the correct APN settings for Rogers. Here's the first hit I found: http://www.nexusoneforum.net/forum/...gers-wireless-apn-settings-data-mms-here.html

Thx a lot ! It worked ! Thx for your quick reply : )

Thnx since the OP didnt.

Bumping this.
This is my exact issue on T-mo USA. On nearly all radios, that is if I get a signal at all. Upload only no download. I've tried AOKP, Rooted deodexed icl53f, Slim, Liquid. Problem persists. What really chaps my ass is that it came with xxkk6 and now that one has no signal bars at all......
At least I can still make calls and send messages with no download radios.

your APN settings are wrong. read the how in this thread

I have apn set to these settings:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21630221&postcount=1
Which are the same ones generated by using the "Reset to default" option. And what are listed in numerous other sources.

It sounds more like a firmware or hardware issue than an APN problem to me. You've said you tried a few different radio firmwares - have you tried UGLA4? I've had really nice results on T-Mobile US with that.
I'd try loading up the factory image with UGLA4 and see if that works for you. If that still doesn't play nice, you may need to look into getting a replacement.

Thanks for the info. Is there by chance an odin flashable for the GSM icl53f? I keep only returning hits for the CDMA version.

Not for ODIN, but you can get the official Google factory image here: https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/yakju-icl53f-factory-89fccaac.tgz
You can extract it and flash the "image-yakju-icl53f.zip" file in fastboot:
Code:
> fastboot flash update -w image-yakju-icl53f.zip

I was able to restore but on xxkk6 I have no signal to speak of. Will have to go the Samsung route. The postal service has already lost one $350 dollar phone this month. So I'm very hesitant to be honest.

Impossible to get network operator

I flashed CM10.1 on my S3 and had the same problem as others where data was intermittent. It worked for some time and after one nightly, I lost my IMEI. So I got back to stock, used the procedure with QPST and got back my IMEI. I got back to cm10.1 and unsurprisingly, I had a hard time having data. But worst off, I had a hard time having cell connection anymore, not even voice or sms. Tried AOKP without any luck. Tried different modems, not luck either. Now I went back to stock and still doesn't work. There's something that is not resetted between flash of ROM that keeps messing up my connection. I also found out that only one network provider is ever found, one is Rogers Wireless (I'm with Bell), or one is EXT. But never any other provider is ever found. And also in *#*#4636#*#* under phone info I can'T change the radio band like I can on the phone of my girlfriend.
So there it is. I'm stuck. I don't really want to buy another phone. It is a software issue for sure. But how can we solve that? Is there any way to restore the EFS to factory default? Could it be buried there? What is the ERI? Could it be that? My stock ROm says that it can't get the ERI version.
Any help is welcome.

my stock telus ERI is unavailable but i think thats normal... i have no problems
from what i understand imei and apn settings are the things to check into

IMEI and APN are good. IMEI will get me data, but I can't even get a cell connection now. No radio at all.

whats your radio band set to?
if i set mine to anything but automatic it wont find networks like yours..
*#*#4636#*#* dont work on my telus s3.
i use a different method
*#197328460# then
UMTS > Debug Screen > Phone control > Network Control > Band selection >
Automatic...
beware what you change in here as there is no return to default

Neither of the two works. *#*#4636#*#* was working with CM10/10.1 and AOKP. But not with stock. And the one you suggest after is not working either.
But I remember going ot *#*#4636#*#* before flashing stock rom and I wasn't able to selet any band. On my girlfriend's android phone (HTC) I can.

if it were me.. i would try reflashing stock again... after flashing stock do a factory reset thru recovery... seems to help for clean stock setup.
if still no network i would check that band selection is set to automatic.
maybe someone else with more experience would have a better idea.
you mentioned you changed your band selection and now cant change it back.
i dont think flashing stock changes this.
i think that might be your problem.
ifso you first need to fix phone to use *# code... i have no idea why its not working
it works on my stock telus 4.0.4 and 4.1.1
maybe bell blocks from using *#code?

if i were u i would first try your girls sim in your phone and vise versa and if no luck do the qpst instructions to regain LTE not imei .and if u still cant manually find network operator after that i would format both sd cards and odin back to stock rooted and do the imei injection again for the hell of it and the LTE fix ..and stay on stock rooted or 4.1.2 until u get this figured out cause 4.2 builds are gonna have more probs then 4.1...I know u are having cell connect probs and these instructions are for imei and data but it sounds like your out of options....i lost imei once and had to manually inject with qpst and my reception was one bar til i did the LTE fix and it worked awesome..one more thing is my phone will not select a radio band ever unless i manually select my network operator first or i have no sim card in phone..i have also had sim cards crap out for no apparent reason..good luck
edit. my bad i thought your girl also had gs3..maybe the sims are still the same

Thanks for your answer. Really appreciated. I've flashed so much time that I don't see the point of doing it again. I also had, at some point, to inject my IMEI and it worked with QPST.
What I find really strange is that a stock reflash doesn't put everything back to when I bought the phone. Funny thing, after the flash, it knew what my Wi-Fi router password was! So obviously there are some part of the config that is not overwritten. Which I find odd.
I also started playing with the service menu and found a lot of settings for the radio band. No luck yet.

Your WiFi password could have been restored by google just like it puts your contact info back.
If you are doing a Odin to stock that should wipe it clean.

This thing is so strange. There's only one network that my phone can see now, and it is 302720. Bell is 302610. No other network is visible. And since I'm with Bell, then I can't connect to 302720. I'm in for emergency calls only. That's why I thought it may have to do with radio. But it seems Rogers (302720) and Bell use the same bands. A channel maybe? But this should be all automatic! It's a pretty stupid bug let me tell you!
Maybe a SIM card issue? That would be quite a coincidence that it happen exactly when I'm playing with ROMs...

Ah that's a good possibility. I didn't know it was saving passwords as well.
So if it wipes clean, how come this bug stays? There is obviously something that is not wiped and overwritten or else it would work.

When you go to info about your phone, in status you usually have your IMEI number. It'll show 0 if it's corrupted. Or sometimes it's a generic IMEI dans is used when the real one is unknown. It's 049 something I think.
Without an IMEI number you can do phone call. But you'll never have a data connection.

[Q] Accidentally changed the freq bands via *#*#4636#*#*

Hi,
while i was messing around with the network setting via *#*#4636#*#* menu, I accidentally selected the USA bands, and it has caused me to not able to make any phone calls or even be connected to the network.
It does not allow me to change back to the default bands I was - international
Understand that this seems to be quite common mistakes across different devices.
But specifically for Desire 816, anyone can help me with this? My device is not rooted (i'd like to keep it taht way) and bought unlock.
Anyone? I'd be super grateful! Panicking like crazy right now...

Hey its simple and worked on mine!
Got to *#*#4636#*#*, then enable Flight mode using the Power menu, or your status bar toggle, then click Select Radio Band and you should see Automatic, now before you select it, disable flight mode. Hope it works, else in order to reset RSD settings, you need to factory reset (unless u root ofc)
