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.
More info about my Gnex on fastboot mode:
Product Name: Tuna
Variant: Maguro
HW Version: 9
BootLoader: PRIMEKK15
Baseband: I9250XXLF1
Sorry for my bad english, but i can't use 3G connection and i need to recive emails, etc
If anyone can help me, thanks! :laugh:

I'm not 100% sure but I think your kernel maybe be the Developer preview kernel, the official is 3.0.31-g6fb96c9, you could try flashing that? It's what I'm running with 4.1.1 and it works fine.

The 4.1.1 is available from OTA, but when i press to install the phone reboot then enter in CWM and shows a message that de update was found, try install but give me a erro message that failed, i'm a new user on android, my phone was an iPhone.

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!!! :-/
Thanks,
Ridge
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. Forgot to add this to my prior text LOL sorry, that just gave me away as a n00b huh? HEHE

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).

Thanks for this post. I bought my mom a sprint gnex for mothers day, and sprint is pushing a 26mb ota. I put TWRP on her phone and rooted. Do I need the stock recovery to do the update, does the update break root?
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.

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 ?

Hi,
Last night I rooted to Android Revolution HD™ 2.1.5 on my GSM Galxay Nexus, the procedure was the same as always nothing strange happened.
But since then I am unable to make or receive a call. I have tried going back to stock rom but still suffer from the same issue.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

did you wipe data/cache/dalvik when you flashed the stock rom? and did you try restoring factory images from google (includes recovery, kernel and radio).

Re-flashed the rom after a complete wipe. No Effect
Flashed Gummy. No Effect
Flashed just radio-maguro-i9250xxkk1.img from ITL41F. No Effect
That is when I took it all the way back to ITL41F and let it update to ICL53F OTA.
But still no effect.
I really am at a loss.
Did you make a backup before flashing the rom?
Can you text from it? Or browse the internet without using wifi?

Phone number is there, -67dBm 23 asu Signal Strength
Only thing that looks odd is Mobile network state - disconnected
Does your IMEI number show up?
Try manually selecting a mobile network in the settings. Or dial *#*#INFO#*#* in the dialer. Then click phone information. Press the : button (aka menu) to change the radio bands to USA. (or Auto)
I stole this from another thread.... See if it works
Still no luck.
I think it might be time to clean wipe to stock again and RMA.
Hello, new to the forum, and new to rooting. Any help would be appreciated and hopefully I will be able to return the favor to others down the road!
I have a Verizon Galaxy Nexus and just unlocked and rooted it Wugs toolkit. I flashed the Android Revolution 2.1.5 ROM following the developers directions however I am having the same problem as xxyondoxx. After flashing the ROM I have no cellular or data connection. Under "About Phone" my phone number does not show up, no network, no IMEI number. Wireless works.
I restored back to the nandroid back-up I created before flashing the Android Revolution ROM and everything is working fine.
How can I get a data connection after flashing the Android Revolution 2.1.5 ROM? Now that I am unlocked and rooted I would like to be able to further customize.
Thanks in advance

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 :

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...

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.

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...

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'm having the same problem with my htc incredible. I have 3G but can't make calls or send texts (can't receive calls or texts either). My phone is rooted and i had the evervolv rom installed on it for about 2 months now. I tried flashing another rom but I have the same problem (tried salvage-mod). I'm wondering if this had anything to do with some apps i removed (I used titanium backup to remove evervolvs email app, the evervolv browswer and evernolv news/weather). The phone worked fine for 3 or 4 days after i removed these apps and then this happened. But I don't think this is related but just thought i would mention it.

I hate to be redundant but have you tried calling *228 and reprogramming the phone? If so and it didn't help anything, could you post a little bit of information about your phone? We know you are on evervolv and rooted and I'm guessing you're using clockworkmod recovery but what is your baseband/radio? Any other relevant information you can think of would also be helpful so someone can help you

You need to call verizion and have them reprovision your phone. I'm 90% positive its a problem on there end. I would go back to a stock rom first (RUU), but keep s-off or you will be in for a lot of work rerooting.

When I try making a call, the green bars become grayed out. I will hear about 3 or 4 rings before I get a message from Verizon saying my call cannot be processed and they give me the following code: 11 switch? 179-3

well, I don't think that this is necessarily the problem but you might want to consider upgrading your radio. It is easily flashable through hboot and can considerably improve your call quality. The one you're using now was designed for and released with froyo and when you downgraded to root you also downgraded the radio so perhaps that is a problem?
You can get the radios from this address:
http://dinc.does-it.net/Radios/
You probably want 2.15.10.07.07 as it is the newest radio that was designed for the dinc. (released with gingerbread 2.3.4)
Just make sure you check the MD5 before flashing because a bad radio file could brick your device.
EDIT: cmlusco is right, that is what you really need to do. I always avoid going to verizon myself because I have no interest in them trying to tell me how i somehow did something wrong by rooting it.
What do you mean by check the MD5?

I still maintain that like cmlusco said you should go ahead and RUU back to stock and talk to verizon about it but it is still good to know what an MD5 sum is.
An MD5 Sum is a string of numbers that is unique to every file. You check the MD5 sum to make sure it matches the original MD5 Sum which is usually provided by the developer or host of the file. For example, in the case of the radio:
if you go to this page you will see two files: http://dinc.does-it.net/Radios/2.15.10.07.07/
One is called PB31IMG.zip and the other is called PB31IMG.zip.md5
If you click on PB31IMG.zip it will download the file to your computer and you can then transfer that file to the root of your SD card to be flashed.
If you click on PB31IMG.zip.md5 you will see a string of numbers/letters which make up the MD5 sum for the PB31IMG.zip file. For this file it is:
617E6969061DCBC3CA613FA6D02565F0
You then want to make sure that after you download the file or even better when it has been placed on your phone that the file has not been corrupted during downloading or during transfer to your phone. This can be done by using an MD5 checker which can be downloaded from many places online for your pc and there are several MD5 checkers available in the market. You basically just want to make sure the string of numbers found online on the dev site or the host site is the same as the one generated by the checker
So i tried the radio and it didnt help. I'm going to do the RUU now. Is this the link for that: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1227279

Here is a link for the ruu http://dinc.does-it.net/Stock_Images/4.06.605.3/PB31IMG.zip
Also just fyi, a new radio was just released 2.15.10.12.20 you can get it here http://dinc.does-it.net/Radios/2.15.10.12.20/PB31IMG.zip
can i use any of those stock images or should i use 4.06.605.3?

Should be able to use any of them. However they will prompt you with ota updates after you boot to get to either 4.08.605.2 or 4.08.605.15 if its been pushed to you yet, or mabey both.
So i flashed the RUU and called verzion. they refreshed something on their end and now i can make calls and send texts. thanks for all your help
The unrevoked3 recovery flash tool wont root my phone. Would going back to an older RUU like 3.26.605.1 help?
I made sure security was off (S-OFF) when i did the flash with the first RUU. Also hboot still says S-OFF so i dont think this is the problem.

If your s-off all you have to do to root is flash cwm recovery thru hboot http://dinc.does-it.net/Recoveries/CWM_5.0.2.0/PB31IMG.zip and then flash superuser through recovery http://dinc.does-it.net/SuperUser/SuperUser_3.0.7.zip .
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.
g'luck

There's no 4.0.3 images for the gnex, at least official ones.

I had this issue as well. I couldn't get the gnex (GSM) to show up in Odin to even start flashing anything so the only thing I could do was send it in to Samsung.

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!

any updates? I'm having the same problem, only had my GNEX for a week.
Try copying these files from /factory to /data/radio:
nv_data.bin
nv_data.bin.md5
And set the permissions to 700.

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
Do you have signal? are you in the same rituation described in this post? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1797931
I'm in the same situation, only flashing 4.0.4 firmware Imei and baseband are shown, but no signal...
I really don't know if it's just a solvable software problem or it's an hardware one!
Thanks for any news!!!!

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.
Ever since I updated my phone my signal is bad. Constantly dropping from LTE to 4G. Is it possible to flash the older modem?
Appreciate other suggestions to improve signal
Would love to be able to do this too. I completely messed up my entire modem somehow (+1 for stupidity) - only getting 'No Network' now, flashed the latest version of the software using Odin, no Knox issues on bootup etc. Took it back to the shop and got it back this morning saying 'Unauthorised rework' carried out - out of warrany, get a new phone
The modem is in the CSC file if I remember correclty, even though I reflashed that successfully, still no luck.
So I'm happy to try anything, not like I've got anything to lose!

Thanks, I'm just about to flash it now using ODIN - I used Samfirm as it donwloaded quicker, is that version any different? Screenshot of the current SIM status attached.
Radio not on etc.
Will update shortly....:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
[UPDATE]
Insalled the software posted by @BK last night, used ODIN and flashed everything, but used the HOME_CSC in the file. Same result unfortunately.
Added some additonal screenshots, any other suggestions?
Thanks.
