Flash a stock rom, that alwayd contains modem file, and will replace baseband.
However it wont problably work because it is bricked, you need to get it repaired

when you enter recovery mode, do you get any errors?
After I have tested Cyanogenmod9, I have used Odin to write a stock ROM on the phone. It didn't boot, and in recovery I was receiving "can't mount /cache; can't mount /system etc." It shouldn't happened something like that, but.... it did.
My solution: used the recovery (the buggy one) to update to latest (beta) CWM recovery from phiex, and then used a CWM backup that I had on the SDCARD. And errors vanished.
that erors gone i did factory reset and cache and dallvix something like that and the erors gone...have a application for repair the baseband?i try to fint in the internet but all about galaxy s/s2
Its in your city, the store were you bought it

i dont have network access..
someone tell me that i need to change my APN setting but when i try to do this it might cost me money... so how i can to change APN setting without pay money..
Sigh...
Yadinbilu: take a step back, and think of how much time and effort you've spent trying to fix this phone. And all the stress that comes with having an unusable phone.
Here you have a group of well intentioned, generally knowledgeable people, some of which have encountered the very same problem you're dealing with.
As a group, we've tried just about everything that could be.
Entering various service codes in the phone.
Using leaked Qualcomm programs like QPST and QXDM.
Re-flashing all manner of firmwares and basebands.
Even flashing specially modified files that we suspected could reprogram the IMEI on the phone.
All of this has been going on for many months, probable even before you thought about buying your own Gio. People with the other phones closest to the Gio, like the Ace, Mini and Fit, have been doing the same efforts.
The Galaxy S GT-I9000, or any other phones of the GT-I series are generally not a good reference when it comes to hacking the Gio (or any other GT-S series phones), there are too many differences between the two.
All of this has always lead us back to one solution: sending the phone to a service center.
Many here have told you just that.
If its about the money this might cost you, well, tough luck. These boards are wallpapered with multiple disclaimers that boil down to this: You are doing this at your own risk. That risk varies, but it could go from minor inconvenience to very major. Miss a critical phone call or SMS. Maybe lose your job or miss an important exam because your alarm didn't go off.
Yet you don't seem to listen. Instead you start multiple new threads where you plead and snivel for assistance.
Get your phone the professional attention (and possibly new motherboard) it needs, or get another and throw away this one. Seriously.
It's gotten to a point where it's pathetic, annoying and sad to watch.
Goodbye,
Darkshado
The rom has been removed from XDA but it is available on some blogs
I have used the ROM for a while but it was causing some problems so i flashed back to stock
I have seen at least two galaxy y's bricked because of this ROM
My friends sgy running nemesis one got bricked. I pulled out battery and reinserted
Phone turned on automatically and got boot loops
I removed battery and pressed the combo for recovery and pushed the battery back
The phone rebooted during data reset and boot loops again
Same in download mode when i tried to flash stock rom on it
It maybe noted that the phone rebooted in stock recovery instead of CWM though my friend was using Hells fusion kernel
My other friends galaxy y was running savies kernel and had same kind of brick
Both the phones were sent for warranty claim
Therefore, I advise that please do not flash this rom and if you are using it, please change it to avoid any possible damage
Thank you.

First of all a Rom cant brick a phone to such an extent that it needs to be sent for servicing. You should have talked on bricked your phone thread before sending it. These problems arise on all roms when you don't flash them properly and its nothing to worry about

I guess I totally agreed to this, I soft-bricked my son's phone's twice because of this ROM...stood up late up to 5AM getting it to back to boot...it could not boot to Recovery ...flashed stock ROM over a number of times = failed.
Managed to have found the right FW and restored it....Phew !:good:
This rom is bad and buggy full of warez and kanged stuff
I flashed it and used it for a month but now I am on remix v2
It bricked my friend phone and he was on stock ROM

The ROM is good... u just need to make sure you flash it properly... I never have any problem with it
Wait what.??? U mean if ur friends phone nd another guy phone gets bricked it means that the rom is wrong or faulty.??
Well read this carefully...
If u think it bricked ur phone then y did u even flash it...
Didn't u read the line that clearly states "by flashing this rom, dev. Supported or xda or whatever site he is using is nt responsible for it.."
He created a rom nd instead of supporting him.. U are just bringing him down...
Nd even by posting this what do u think u are doing.??
Trying to get some likes are u..??
Well believe me..
If u can't respect a dev or his works..
U do not belong here...

Hey u u such a noob please close this thread..
If u dont know how to handle or troubleshoot a brick phone then never use any of custom rom for ur device.. Or otherwise u always keep flaming the other dev if you did something rong in intallation...
And did u read the instruction carefully all dev allways put this line in thier work...
"flashing kernel/rom/mod ect ect. may brick ur phone"" and dev will not take the responsibility for it
And n the first place when u dicide to flash a rom . You should accept that u may brick ur phone
Im not a fun of avijit or nemisis one.. I just got mad of what are u doing. Stop flaming please respect a developer.. Remember they work for free.. Please respect them
Sorry for my reaction

Like Google's MD said...
IF YOU DONT LIKE IT, DONT USE IT.
IT may or may not have kanged stuff but you downloaded it so just STFU. If you were such a " responsible " guy... You should never have downloaded it. And you went ahead and " bricked" two devices and just as an icing on the cake, you come to XDA and flame him for your mistake?
If I read the OP right, you flashed one of it on a phone running another kernel? Kudos.. u are a genius!
And make a note yourself, IT WASNT BANNED FROM XDA. HE NEVER RELEASED IT HERE OFFICIALLY.
So, a piece of advice to u my friend,
Grow up.

Questions? Better go to [Help Thread] Ask Anything!!
No rom is like that
If you followed wrong method then I guarantee to will brick
I suggest you to follow universal methods first flash any CWM zip then go to mount and storage then mount everything then format system then wipe data and cache then flash rom it will be flashed successfully I bet

As another member already mentioned, it's always possible to have problems with a ROM if proper procedures are not followed. If there was an inherent problem with the ROM causing bricks, then everybody would be having difficulties with it. Based on what I've read in this thread, that does not seem to be the case and this thread only serves to scare people unnecessarily.
As a development site, you are first a tester before you are a user when you flash a ROM. You take your chances and hope for the best, but it's up to you to have the upfront knowledge to recover your device when things do go wrong.
I my phone was locked, and I was requested to enter my google acc, so I did, but it was not recognized, My password is the same since I created my acc, never changed, so I had no solution than making a factory reset to get back my cell, but this is not a solution, since I have a small child and he always playing with the mobile, and this might happen again.
If anyone have an idea please feel free to ask any questions to make it clearer

that happens only when maximum password attempts has been reached.
when asked, you have to be connected to the internet coz verification is done online.
now if you want to avoid this from happening again, don't use any password or pin lock.

I have CM10 Alpha7 on my phone, and I have a Nandroid backup and already used it and nothing lost, my question here? What if my cell is not rooted? There should be a different way. That's what I wanna know,
if ur not rooted then ull simply root ur device through the stock recovery as usual then install the recovery and make ur nandroid backup or simply just format system and cache and re install the same rom so ur data won't b touched (im not so sure if it will help with removing ur lock but my guess is that it will), cuz if u go to SSC in egypt then they will simply tell u to format ur cell (they dont give a s**t for us bro)

But I guess this way the lock issue will be restored also, I'm only guessing. And the SSC like u said they don't care. This is not the solution I was looking for, but till now its the best answer, at least not telling me how stupid i was, thanks bro

I already made a factory reset, and flashed the ROM again, Luckily and thanks to a friend of mine who advised me couple days before this problem happens, he told me "Make a backup just in case" so I didn't lose anything, and now I made a new Image of my ROM, so what ever happens in the future I will just restore the whole ROM with the settings, but really thank you for trying to help, because every time I ask for help, I must find someone who gives me a frustrating answer, once I was asking about some stuff for my SGW, and someone named Frank said "Your phone isn't popular if you want help get a more popular phone" I felt like oO if you can't help why bother replying, so I really appreciate anyone who tries to help:good:

Without any form of backup of your efs (are you sure you don't have a Twrp or CWM backup with it?) Then you basically will have to either inject a working, non-GN2 imei from a phone that isn't blacklisted from your carrier. Or figure out if there is a newer way (maybe someone came out with a fix that I'm unaware of) to restore your imei (printed behind the battery of your phone) either way if you want your phone to connect cellularly than you'll need to freshin up on QPST and NV Writer

Who is your carrier... Basically in the TMO GN2 Q&A thread there are several post referring to solutions but obviously you will need to replace their modems with that of your own carrier and I also suggest once you find the threads that I'm referring to that you make sure there isn't an updated option available...

I would think you should be able to hook your phone up to the PC and then within terminal (once you get ADB Shell and your phone is reading properly with the appropriate drivers) and use codes to launch Download mode or Recovery.. You could also (using this method) potential make a copy of your phone so at least you have a copy of it all on the PC...

I doubt it but not 100 percent but I think its 1 or the other... Ultimately I am new to using jdk/SDK etc and don't have the slightest clue as to what steps are needed to even get the GN2 to communicate with windows properly... With that being said I have been able to follow directions enough to unbrick an archos (had to install jdk/sdk etc, a virtualbox with Ubuntu, setup drivers to commincate the device thoroughly with the PC and then thru the virtual machine via USB, and then using terminal via Ubuntu flash codes and through Sudo fix files on the device to unbrick it... Took me like 3-4 days as I was so noon to it all but it was that experience that got me in to flashing phones in the first place

That's not fair ...
So, this is a long process I've been through-- First thanks so much for just taking the time to read this and any input would be awesome
I tried to flash a new slimkat 4.4.2 rom today and it flashed fine came up had service all was well except I think i did it as a "dirty" flash. I don't want to think any errors possible would be from that so i immediately did a "clean" flash and wiped everything except external sd-card in TWRP
Rebooted and noticed i didn't have any signal or data. First thought was modem so I started flashing MJ4 and reboot, nothing, so I flashed MK6 and reboot, nothing, so i changed to CWM recovery and flashed them, nothing, then at this point i just want a phone back doesn't even matter so i always seem to have several ROMS on my phone so i flashed another Sky Note 4.3 and reloaded nothing... So i started really wondering now and looking at my baseband to see what it said and noticed "Unkown Baseband" and Imei "unkown" (All while at work) So I came home did a little research while trying various other roms and none worked. So I read one way is to use Kies and do a "firmware upgrade initialisation"
Now it rebooting and completed going back to 4.1.2 CAMA4 and i still have nothing.. So I flashed UCALJ modem (Which should work as well) and I still have no data or signal because of unknown IMEI and Baseband. I don't really care about using triangle away or not, but i can get around and flash roms and everything thats what I don't understand.
Oh I did use CF-autoroot to install TWRP to install the modem as a .zip
Any ideas I would love you forever!!!

Lesson learned... no backup
I'm going to try and repair (backup and re-put) my EFS folder there, but how do i tell if its a complete EFS folder or if it is damaged? On the note 2 ATT is there a way to manually put in your IMEI? or reasons why this couldn't be my problem please

Last time this happened to me, a very long night, I had a guru on hangouts with me and we tried everything we could think of..
Only thing that got me back was a restore of an old backup, as a wild ass last resort.... Lost my mind when it worked
This problem is not weird, unfortunately it's common.
Starting surfing for your error and read read read.... I've had a long fricking day ..
Like a maniac I'm trying to port over a 7100 ROM.. I get that error also.
Only thing that gets it back is restoring a backup rom that had an efs backup in it.

In my EFS folder i can't find any .nv_**** files so I'm assuming they are gone and I don't have a back-up. I've been reading and reading with nothing coming out of it other then how to fix it on alot of other samsung phones. I can't seem to find a way to re-build and manually enter my own IMEI (because i know the IMEI) Driving me nuts!! but thanks for your reply
EFS folder anyone?
Any chance i can get a copy of someones EFS folder so that i can edit the .nv_data and add my IMIE? Please of a ATT Note 2
Thanks so much and just PM link

Sadly no...
It is both illegal...and unethical for someone to give you a copy of an EFS folder...
It contains the user data and carrier information for the device...making the folder private...and unique to it's owner ....g

Have you tried restoring firmware from Kies or flashing official firmware via Odin?

I have done official firmware and over odin and before that Kies recovery. Also, knew it wasn't smart but didn't know it was illegal.
Any idea's for programs that will scan for deleted folders? or other ways to re-build EFS or .nvdata?

I was going to try this but didn't have to because I found a backup with my efs. I was going to try putting a new sim in and see if phone would see it and rebuild.
Actually was going to pull the sim out of my wife's note 2 and try it.

So I tried from my wifes sim today with no avail. Still don't have my phone and wondering if there is any way to recover it? Do i try to set it back to stock everything fix the flash counter then call samsung? I don't think its under warranty anymore since i've had it for almost 2 years. I know its a long shot but I wonder if taking it to one of those "cell phone repair" places would be any help? I'm out of options and actually had to drop back to my old HTC Inspire

Yea, the sim deal was to simple to work...
So never heard I don't think. What were you on before you flashed slimkat? Did you do the 4.3 OTA update?
Have you tried flashing an original rom with the Pit file? That's your last resort, EFS is unique to each phone by using someone's else's this is illegal as your modifying the IMEI. I've had efs issues in the past but always had a backup to hand. Try flashing everything with a pit file if that doesn't work then you will have to take it in for repair, Samsung official could do it but don't know what they will charge as it's out of warranty or maybe a local phone repair shop could do it or someone with jtag services can do it perhaps too.

I was on another 4.4 rom before I went to slimkat
What is a pit file? I don't know much about it and is there a "trusted" guide on how to use one with the Note 2? I mean I'm familiar with Odin so I know its there but I've never had to use one

Here's the info...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2609871
A couple of other people are having worse problems like not being able to flash a recovery in ODIN or a ROM saying it can't read partitions. That's a good choice for a PIT flash.
But I'm reading and reading and everything is saying, yep that will work.... IF you then have the efs backup to restore

Thanks so much for the help!! I'm just worried that its not going to fix it and only make it worse possibly. I can't find how to pull my PIT file to analyze it so my next option is... Call a professional tomorrow... I'm going to call because apparently a "Z3X box" will fix my phone in like 3 minutes. I will post back though letting people know in the future whether they can or not. Because of legal reasons I don't know if they can even write my own IMEI back to the device. Will post back though regardless after tomorrow when I call them.
This happened to me a while back and I just flashed back to stock using Odin and all was fine

GREAT NEWS!
So I got desperate and realized this was going to take a professional. I called around to my local "cell phone repair" shops that really only know how to change the screen and asked about recovering the EFS file. It started out: "Hi can I talk with someone knowledgeable about the Android file system?" and every time the person said they were an "expert" So I said "I deleted or corrupted my EFS file and I need a repair for it" and EVERY time they told me they had no clue what I was talking about. I read and read everything I could find on the internet and most pointed me to some international "send you phone here" and of course I'm very skeptical of shipping my phone just about anywhere. So I found a person in the US at mobiletechvideos.com and looked him up with the BBB and found reviews from multiple sources.
I can say mobiletechvideos.com is legit and awesome! Josh fixed my phone and repaired the IMEI in less the 10 minutes remotely. I have my note 2 back! Please do not hesitate to give this guy a try he is legit and really down to earth guy. This thread can end here because whatever he did I have no clue but it worked!
Also a lot cheaper then I though it was going to be
