Well, from the day one i bought my nexus i had the " unknown baseband " in the About screen of my GSM unlocked NEXUS ! ... I dunno how but i left my phone with sim card inserted for some hours and suddenly i noticed that i have a signal and i checked to see the baseband is identified as xxkk6. Now i downloaded the Factory image from google and i flashed it using the Nexus Toolbox and now i dont have any baseband again.
Tried to flash the baseband only again with no luck, It only shows in the fastboot mode but when the phone is in android mode or ( normal mod ) it shows as unknown!
Tried to flash the UGLA4 baseband and the problem persists!
What should i do now ???
Try to flash back to google stock rom via Galaxy Nexus Toolkit from mskip :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1392310
Download google stock image here :
http://code.google.com/android/nexus/images.html
Then, using GNex Toolkit again to root, unlock bootloader, etc and flash any baseband from this thread below to test :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1405345
i already did that and still not working!
I tried flashing the stock rom over and over , ulnocked , rooted and flashed the baseband file alone and nothing works!
i tried to flash ugla4 and xxkk6 basebands but both didn't work and i only can see them in the fastboot mode info
If you can't seem to get it to work, try returning it to the vendor.
As last resort you can try with ODIN it might work...

I can't return it as i bought it with no warranty from an online store in my country ...
Ok, how can i use odin to restore it ! i mean i need a pit file and the other files right? where can i get them from ?
another thing, do i find the files if i extracted the factory image
thank you!
Install cwm and flash the baseband from there. Should work. Search cwm touch in the forum.

That doesn't mean it has no warranty contact your country Samsung warranty service and explain the situation it must have warranty!
I tried flashing it with CWM and nothing seems to work !
Am i the only one who has this problem ? is it hardware related or what because as i said it was working before and i was able to make and receive calls and data ..
It wasn't workning when i first turned on the phone when i bought it but i was playing around with the setting and apps and i remember having an OTA update from 4.0.1 to 4.0.2 and after 2 or 3 hours it started to work ! just like that !
btw i flashed the old 4.0.1 (ITL41F) factory image and i updated OTA now to 4.0.2 ICL53F but still unknown baseband
are you using a custom rom on the phone?
if you are...you may have installed a rom for the LTE/CDMA phone and not for your GSM phone..
that is why my baseband said UNKNOWN......I had a LTE and I install a GSM rom by mistake...
try installing a custom GSM rom

here there is a similar thread...somene talk about a corrupted efs partition (try to search something about it), someone just flashed a new radio and solved it
did you also tried to power off the phone and pull the battery for a while? it is a sort of software reset..may work sometimes..
Sounds like your EFS may be corrupted.
There is an app for the I9100 that can repair corrupted EFS's, and it can be done via adb as well, but I'm not sure about the applicability towards the GNex.
Just for reference, I am in no way suggesting you do this, but perhaps someone else can chime in: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17587351&postcount=1

I may have jumped the gun a bit, with the i9100 an unknown baseband typically meant a corrupted efs. Do you still have signal and an imei #?

I flashed my phone with a android revolution from and then after that I don't have any signal my signal bar has a x there can anyone tell me why?I am using a GSM I know cuz I'm from Asia but the problem is I have no signal at all I really need help badly
Look at your baseband.... The ítem im showing you in the screenshot and see if you have something installed..
If not or even if so.. Go to the general section and get into the radios thread and download several radios, then flash em via fastboot until you get signal
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Go to About Phone > Status and scroll down to IMEI. If it says unknown, or starts with 0049, your EFS folder is corrupted. Either way compare the IMEI on that screen to the one on your phone's box.
The GN is a Samsung phone so the EFS gets corrupted for inexplicable reasons when flashing ROMs on occasion. Common enough issue on the SGSII, and other Samsung phones I'm sure.

I've only ever had to fix mine when I've had a b/ u already in place, unsure how to repair corrupted efs without having a backup. If your imei is okay however you don't have to worry about that, but search for imei b/u regardless.

may i ask what radio you used im having the same problem.
Sir, i flashed my nexus with AOSP rom(4.0.3),everything works well for several hours.but yesterday my phone shows error no service,i tries several sim card but facing same issue.so i tried imei no and guess what it shows nothing.... i checked baseband shows unknown. so i flashed stock rom via cwm (restore),but unfortunately facing same problem. so i flashed few baseband images also but not workrd either. plz help me how should i get my imei number back..... i have no backup file of my EFS folder.
First off, don't call me sir
I've been seeing alot of the same issue and no one seems to have a solid lead on the real problem.
And yes, it has happened to me.
My opinion is that flashing *some* roms is causing the bootloader to become corrupted...as this is exactly the issue I had experienced.
A fubar'd bootloader will screw everything up.
The solution for me was to odin back to stock.
Since you did not state if your gnex is gsm or cdma I am not going to attempt to post directions or even file names for you (you can easily search for odin and get them here in this forum). The directions are completely different depending on the gsm/cdma thing.
Be careful and make sure you have the right version of odin and the correct files to flash. It's actually pretty simple, but it's always the simple things that are easiest to get wrong.

What methods have you tried to return the device back to stock? You can try fastbooting back to stock which is fairly simple you would just need some knowledge of ADB and must have the Android SDK installed to do so. You can also use ODIN to do this or Heimdall depending on whether you are using Windows, Mac, or Linux. Feel free to PM if you would like some help with this!

I use fastboot, and don´t have luck. EFS partition contents exist, but i don´t have imei or baseband detected. I install google jellybean
Same happened to my GNex after flashing miui 2.11.16.
Common sense suggests that the rom, which doesn't include a radio, shouldn't be the reason for the unknown imei and unknown baseband fault.
This has also happened to others of whom most, including me, indicated flashing the updated recovery either twrp 2.3.2.1 or cwm 6.0.1.5/6 which were rolled out for android 4.2 compatibility.
I went back to stock 4.1.2 everything... GNex Tool and ODIN methods, but the problem remained: still UNKNOWN IMEI and UNKNOWN Baseband.
Common symptom to this fault is the phone/os thinks that Flight Mode is ON. Closer inspection in hidden menu phone information (*#*#4636#*#*) clearly shows the radio alternating On/Off continuously... all suggested tricks to set band to gsm manual or auto failed.
I have also tried the OMAP_Flash tool recently leaked from smsng team... it works as described (fix boot partition) but it wouldn't fix this problem.
Those suggesting it's a hardware fault are simply "just saying" but there's no actual prove or method to such a conclusion.
I'm leaning more to believe the cause to be a bug in the updated custom recoveries for android 4.2.
Hope this helps anyone trying to find a fix.... if you find a fix, please PM me
... and for now, i'm using my good old galaxy s i9000 <= will give it to anyone successfully helps us to fix the GNex

similar problem, but unlike dhuberto, not able to get imei back with any version of a stock image using any method.
My radio keeps going FLIGHT MODE on then off then on continuously... I have tried several apps to force gsm off (turn off radio) to no avail.
I personally still think it is not a hardware issue. Maybe it's me just hoping!
I have reasons to slightly believe that it was caused by a bad custom recovery code while doing fix permissions.
I am still researching and I will update once there's some news, good or bad.
Hi, i'm from Brazil and i have a Gnex from UK, and it's unlocked.
When i was at 4.0.2, everythings ok, but after the OTA update to 4.0.4, i'm having some problems if the data is turned on, and the option 'only 2g' is checked the signal is good, but if the data is turned on and i have 3G connection the phone lose signal, and baseband shows Unknown.
My Gnex is Yakju, and i have flashed the 4.1 (JRN84D) from here with baseband I9250XXLF1 and 3.0.31-ge8de0e2 kernel ( on the post shows that's a stock kernel ). And the problems still here.

No, when de signal is dropped i had to take battery out from phone, wait 5 or more minutes than put it back! If i put it back before i have the baseband unknown message on Config > About Phone. And this happens only if i have 3G signal, i see many people saying about signal issues after OTA to 4.0.4 and if i still with "only 2g" selected i don't have signal drop or disable the data, then i don't have any problem

If it's the status 7 error it's because OTA's require stock everything I think, including recovery.

Not sure if it will fix the problem, I think it's in the kernel you have as that's where WIFI is managed, however you could try and if that doesn't work change the kernel.
Instructions on how to update to official 4.1 are here however if you want to then accept the OTA afterwards when following Method 1 do not delete/rename /system/etc/install-recovery.sh and CWM will be overwritten by stock and you should be able to accept OTA's.
Note: If you don't want to lose your data then you could try skipping the "Wipe data/factory reset" step but do that at your own risk, I skipped it and it works fine though.

a "different" kinda phone problem(?)
I looked through most all of these forums and couldnt find anyone with the problem im having. Not sure if it's me or what...
My problem is that when I flash some roms, my phone doesnt work. (yes im on sprint and only using toroplus). Well, yesterday, for most of the day, everything on my phone worked. When I got up this morning, It hadnt charged, and I lost my dialing again. Some ROMs I flash start off. When I go to settings> about phone> status under "Network" it says "unknown" and under "service state" It will say "no service" then checking on "Moblle Network State" It'll say "unknown"", sometimes my phone number shows up, sometimes it doesnt, Most times I cant make outgoing calls and when anyone calls me, it does a half ring and directs my callers straight to my voice mail. Is anyone having this problem too? And if so, how did you fix it? It frustrates the hell outta me and I think I should just go back to ICS although I dont want to. HELLP!!! :-/

P.S. I forgot to mention that Im on a Sprint phone and that Im running Houng81's AOKP Aug1 version Baseband: fg01, the kernel that came with the ROM, Ive even replaced them a few times and nothing does any better.

Doing the OTA might solve it since it will update (i think) your bootloader to lc03, you still on kk15. If it doesnt, use fastboot and update manually. To run an OTA with cwm installed, you need to download the update.zip from dev section for the OTA you want to run, but do it through cwm (like flashing a custom rom).

Sorry, not familiar with Sammy or nexus devices, I've always used HTC. And the nexus forums are kinda hard to navigate because of the way it's split up.
Much thanks to anyone.

Do not flash a GSM ROM on a CDMA device/radio.

I had update manually to 4.1.1 factory image, the bootloader has been updated, and the problem still here, maybe this is an efs folder corrupted?
If i get a backup from a gnex that all is working and restore will be fix ?
Thanks

Why in first case did you flash a ROm which isn't intended to be for your device?
Well you killed your EFS partition (bricked)
I hope you mad a EFS backup BEFORE you flashed. So you can restore it and all will be fine.
You could try the Stock Firmware via Mobile Odin if it fixes your EFS problem. No Guarantee here, sometimes it dsoes work and sometimes not.
Good luck to you

I believe the reason you are experiencing this issue is because this new firmware you flashed doesn't contain a custom radio and the n7100 firmware did. You will need to find a n7105 radio, flash that through CWM or TWRP and you should be back in business mate.

thanks for everyone...
Would be glad to help you but you seem to have skipped the first rule : read, read, read before you do anything else. You even admitted that this is your first Samsung device, so why did u assume that everything should have been htc like ?
Anyhow, you can try to flash the newest 4.1.2 update for the 7105, even though I fear that your problem is your efs folder, and since this is unique for each device, no flashing any rom will put it back in place.

yah.. i have flash that ROM just now..
but, why my signal is verry in poor level? only showing 2 bar?
im sorry, im not experienced with samsung devices
Since you said that the phone is from Australia and Optus you may want to flash its original firmware back in place :
http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&model=GT-N7105&pcode=OPS&os=1&type=1#firmware
If you do not use the phone in Australia you may want to find a firmware (if available) for your device/geographical region.

I am facing the same problem you had before, however when i try to Odin the stock 4.1.1 firmware back to the phone, it stops at the Samsung logo when restarting. I have to force back to recovery mode to flash the omega back to have it start again. Can you please tell me the steps you did on putting back to stock firmware? thanks
If you haven't yet reflashed the EFS partition (don't do that, ever ! unless you have a good reundant set of backups), you actually don't need to reflash to stock firmware at all (and I doubt that it'd do any good anyways. It just puts back a generic EFS with the files set at default values, but certainly can't put back the data you had in your own device's EFS, this is unique to each phone).
Just head on over to the Galaxy S2 forums and look for a thread called "Restore your IMEI in 9 steps" (something like that. There's actually quite a number of threads describing the same procedure, you can find them by searching "samsung restore imei" in all forums, works just as well).
I had the same problem the other day (and no backup of course, silly and impatient me... ), it worked like a charm..
It's topics like this that i know that People Will get Hurt on. Come on, read and study before doing anything on a smartphone. There's a reason why android doesn't come with administrator rights from factory.

My Radio stopped functioning earlier in the day IN THE MIDDLE of a phone call. I have not been able to get it to find a network provider since that time. My details are as follows:
Phone: MAGURO
ROM: Rasbeanjeally 4.1.2
Kernel: Trinity Stable 67
Provider: T-Mobile
Baseband: UGLH1
RIL: UGLH1
Location: Hawaii
I tried putting my Indonesian Telkomsel SIM into the phone to verify the problem was not a physical issue with the SIM and the phone could still not find a network. My Nokia phone works just fine with either SIM. I tried flashing another baseband to see if it had something to do with that but this did not help. I did update Busybox last night from the Play Store but i dont think that could have done anything as the phone was working this morning for a while? The Wifi is still working. Someone suggested that I reconfigure the APN which I did but that did not solve the problem.
After I reboot and go to About/Status, i see the following:
NETWORK: Unknown
MOBILE NETWORK: Unknown
SERVICE STATE: Out OF Service
MOBILE NETWORK STATE: Disconnected
Does anybody have any idea if there is some code i can run to talk to the radio to see if it is alive? Or does anyone have any other ideas what i can do to fix the situation?

The radio is gone. I just flashed the stock image after trying many other things and it is just not working no matter what I do. The phone recognizes different SIM chips but cannot get service no matter what I do. I have locked the phone and will send back to Samsung for repair.
Thanks all and especially to SIMMS22 for helping.

I do backup EFS with when i create a Nandroid with TWRP. SIMMS22 told me that if you can see your IMEI number, then the EFS partition is okay. My IMEI number is visible. Thank for the suggestion
