[Q] P970 Noob Flash with No Backup and now IMEI & Network - LG Optimus G (International)

I am really hoping someone can help me sort this problem. I recently bought a LG P970, and after long await from customs, i received it! On day 1 before even purchasing a simcard i rooted and changed roms. I went through all sorts of roms from nightly cm7 to cm10, nove, aokp etc.. I finally decided i like AOKP Rom and day 2 bought my sim card. SUPRIZE!! no network! IMEI unknown. Unfortunately i was to ignorant to do a backup and i have been searching for +- 40hours now to try resolve this issue.
I have tried the tutty/Hyperterminal.. Does not work! If i dial 3845#*970# and access the hidden menu. as soon as i select CP USB, the pc just makes the insert/ takeout sound constantly and does not install driver, but on AP USB, the sd card can be accessed, my device shows on system and everything is 100%. I have tried this on 2 windows 7 computers. So that option is out.
Does anyone know another way to restore the IMEI? I dont have any fancy box tools, just my pc.

This is the Optimus G forum. I'm on the phone app so I can't send you the link for proper forum, sorry..
Good luck.

No service after reflashing to stock [Solved]

Had my nexus rooted since day 1 and never had any issues. Lately i've been trying to use Barclay's Pingit app which doesn't work on rooted devices. So i reflashed to stock through the galaxy nexus toolkit. I did get service on the stock rom, but i've since tried a nandroid restore of my CM10 and it appears to have screwed something up. First off, the restore completed in 4 seconds, so it obviously didn't work. I'm using TWRP if that makes any difference.
So i tried a wipe and flash other roms, but still no service. Even after going back to stock, still no service. I'm assuming the botched nandroid restore has possibly damaged my radio somehow? I did try to flash another radio, and it flashes ok, but still no service.
APN settings are fine. All i get though when i try to connect to a network is "Can't connect to this network at the moment, please try again later".
I'm on 3 UK. Tried connecting to other networks, but still the same issue
Just tried flashing a new radio through fastboot, flashes fine and shows up in baseband version, but still no service...
Have you tried getril app? If your radio interface layer doesn't match it can fix it.

Yeah i tried it earlier, no luck.
Just tried again to make sure, still nothing
I have had some bad flashes with twrp. If I were you I would try cwm and then flash a new ROM.

Op, do you still have your imei? Try another simcard have you?
Sent from my i9250
Yeah i've tried several new rom flashes through CWM.
@bk201doesntexist - Yeah the phone has an IMEI in the status menu. I'm wondering if it's blocked since my provider accidentally cancelled my contract a few months ago, and i didn't say a word
Scrap that actually, apparently Three UK can't block IMEI's for some reason...
Funnily enough, i tried a sim card from another carrier and not only did it not connect to any network, but now when i go to search networks it just says "Error while searching for networks".
Edit - Called my network provider, they said my IMEI was wrong. At the minute it starts with 0049, which it shouldn't apparently. I dunno how this got changed in the first place.
Ok, so i've looked into the imei 0049 issue and it's starting to make sense. I looked in the /factory folder and it's empty, well apart from lost+found but it's empty. I assume the only option is to send it off for repairs? I do still have a nandroid backup on my computer and it has efs.ext4.win on there. Gonna give that a shot.
Edit 2 - Ok so I updated TWRP as my version was 2.2. Attempted the nandroid restore again and success! Got my voice and data back!
Thanks for the suggestions, its been a stressful day and hope this can help somebody else in a similar position
Yeah i forgot mentioning the fake imei thing. I was thinking about the /factory partition being null, thats why i spoke of imei.
Please edit the thread title to include tag [SOLVED]. Thanks.

[Q] WiFi Not Working after Unlock and Root

I have a PrimoC phone that I unlocked and rooted then I installed TWRP and made a backup. I did not bother connecting to WiFi before doing this, but the phone was showing that it wwas receiving signal from VM. After installing TWRP with Hasoon2000's AIO and making a backup, I went to Settings so I could connect to WiFi and download MSL reader. WiFi is on, but the phone can't find any networks and it is no longer connecting to VM.
Any ideas what's wrong?
Phone is Primo C, CDMA
flash boot. img in bootloader via cmd...
Sent from my HTC One V
Where can I get that for the stock ROM? I've flashed the boot.img of custom ROMs on other phones, but not stock.
Open up the ROM zip from a stock ROM and pull out the boot.IMG. I'm sure there's some rooted stock ROMs posted in your dev section. Or from a nandroid backup from a stock ROM, if you have one.

Alright, I flashed the boot.img, but it didn't make a difference. Still no WiFi or connection to VM.
Flashed boot.img a couple of times and rebooted a couple of times. No WiFi or service. What can I do?
Hi, maybe your device has lost It's IMEI. Would you mind posting the first 4 numbers of your imei found in about phone? Thanks.
Sent from my awesome HTC One V using Tapatalk 2
I don't see an IMEI anywhere... Do you mean IMSI? If so, first 4 digits are 3100
Thanks for the help, I really appreciate it. I ported my number to P+, so I don't have a working phone until I get this to work. I flashed another one of these HTC One Vs last weekend without this problem, so I'm not sure how I ran into it this time...
I recommend using SickKernel for Sense roms. Did you flash a kernel through fastboot yet? And did you flash any module files?
No I didn't flash a kernel through fastboot, nor did I on another HTC One V that worked fine last weekend.
I unlocked the phone with this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1598964
rooted with this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1751004
Then I installed TWRP and perm rooted by following Hassoon2000's guide and while using his AIO.
This is the same process I followed last week and it worked fine then. The only difference I can think of this time was I didn't even attempt to connect to WiFi before starting this process.
Thanks for the help.
Someone on another forum gave me a .zip called "Jmz-PrimoC-kernel-ICS-20120820". I flashed the boot.img from it and now the phone boots to the VM loading screen and then turns off and continuously reboots and the process repeats.
EDIT: I flashed the .zip and still have the same problem. I'm wiping the cache, dalvick cache, and doing a factory reset and then restoring a backup.
EDIT 2: Restored the backup, it loaded up the phone normally without the reboot this time. I unlocked the phone and a second later it powered off again and now it's rebooting continuously, but it makes it to the normal screen now before doing so.
Really need a phone for work guys. Please help me.
Alright, I did this on a second phone I got for my wife to try and figure out where I went. I unlocked the bootloader and rooted by following these instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1598964
WiFi worked after that and VM bars were showing up.
I then booted into Bootloader and opened Hasoon2000's HTC One V AIO Kit. I clicked on TWRP CDMA 2.1.0 and then clicked 'Flash Recovery'. The recovery flashed successfully.
I then made a backup successfully and rebooted. When I rebooted, I was getting 'No Service' and my WiFi doesn't work either.
I may have actually had WiFi and service after I flashed TWRP, but before I made the backup. I think I did, but I'm not sure. Anyways, all that is above is everything I have done with this phone since taking it out of the box. No idea what's wrong.
Please help.
EDIT: When I scan for WiFi on the 2nd phone, I am now finding my network, but strength is always poor or fair and it won't connect.
If the imei really is lost, you will not have a chance but taking it to the HTC service try flashing cwm instead of twrp, maybe that changes something
Sent from my awesome HTC One V using Tapatalk 2
How would I know if the IMEI is lost? I just don't see anywhere it would be in the settings under about phone. Can I just flash CWM over TWRP?
I followed this:
http://www.androidauthority.com/one-v-clockworkmod-recovery-6-0-1-2-custom-recovery-115527/
and flashed CWM.
Still no WiFi or service. I don't need service with this phone, but I do need WiFi.
EDIT:
OK, so I am getting WiFi on the 2nd phone, but it's weak. When I'm right next to my router only the circle fills up on the meter and occasionally one bar will with it. Still no service though.
Hi, well I do not know the exact noun for this, but you can see it at settings, about phone, phone-identity. Sort for my bad English sometimes, I'm from Germany
Sent from my awesome HTC One V using Tapatalk 2
Under phone identity I only see Phone Name, Model Number, Device Serial Number, MEID, MEID Decimal, Phone Number, and IMSI. No IMEI. I checked a friend's working HTC One V he got on the CM sale too and he doesn't have an IMEI under phone identity and his phone works fine.
Also, I am now getting WiFi on the 2nd phone, but it's weak. When I'm right next to my router only the circle fills up on the meter and occasionally one bar will with it. Still no service though. When I go up to my room where another HTC One V running AOKP says ~35% signal, this phone drops.
Thanks for helping me.
You do have the back cover on right? Did you root both phones with Hasoons program?
Sent from my HTC One V using xda app-developers app
Strange. I've set the language of my phone to english for testing, and I'm getting this (1st screenshot).
Instead of using About Phone, you could try opening the dialpad and dialing *#06# (star pound zero six pound). Now a text box like in my 2nd screenshot should pop up. Please only tell me the first four digits, because an IMEI is unique and private.
EDIT: zmk76 is right, in the back cover is the antenna built-in, so signal drop without the back cover is normal (I have really heavy signal drops without the back cover)

[Q] Insert Sim to Access Network Service.. IMEI Null

Hey Guys,
I have an AT&T Model SGH-1317 Note 2. For use on other networks, I unlocked the phone using the *#197328640# menu option. However, the phone failed to start the hot spot stating Mobile data was unavailable or Invalid Sim. However, I am able to tether perfectly using the same sim on an another S3 so I was sure its nothing to do with the sim or network operator settings.
I looked up and found XDA website with tons of information. I assumed my phone was locked by AT&T. Hence, I rooted the phone using CF-Auto-Root, backed up complete data using Titanium and using Rom Manager I installed the Crash Aroma 4.1.2 Rom. I wiped the data and cache 3 times as suggested. However, after the boot I am unable to connect to any mobile network. A Click on Mobile Network says "Insert Sim Card to Access Network Services". Dialling for IMEI number prompt a Null.
During Installation I noticed the Crash ROM has overwritten the Radio.. and I am assuming this is were the problem lies. but I leave it you experts.. Request Help!
Sunil.

Am currently on Du - A network in Dubai, UAE. I have been reading more forum information and some suggest that this may be related to the EFS folder getting corrupted which may cause the IMEI number to fail. Some suggest that there are software to rebuild this information by using the IMEI number behind the handset..
I also noted that my phone model has also changed to GT-7100 instead of SGH-1317, Wonder if the Crash ROM was apt?
Would you suggest installing a Jedi Rom specifically built for SGH-1317... or is the damage already done?
Back Online
Since I found no replies.. I had no choice but to give it to the Pros.. I handed my phone day to one of the Unlocking experts at a mobile store… He was confident that his technicians would resolve this. But after 2 Days, they have given up.. He suggested the phone would fetch me US$ 10 if someone used it as a demo unit at a mobile shop..
I was sure this was something to do with the Modem, IMEI and the all important NV folder. I was able to find a Stock ROM for the SGH-1317 and I also found a link at XDA about using EFS pro to change the IMEI.
Using Odin software, I flashed the phone with the stock rom. Unfortunately, there was one error when it tried to communicated on com1. Having no choice, I continued. Restarting got the AT&T style boot but it again froze on the Samsung screen. Dreading the communication error, I restarted several times with no results. Finally I realised if would be due to the cache and user data. I reset the phone to factor settings wiping out the user data and Whola.. The phone sprang back up..
Lessons learnt.. Backup your rom and data before playing with custom roms. Read Read Read and don’t flash in the middle of the night..
Since I am back online, I plan to stick to the stock and crappy 4.1.1 with all the AT&T dead weight. Will live without the ability to Tether until my fingers get warmer.. It won’t be long as I am already bit by the Custom Rom Devil..
Don't Give Up Easy..:good::victory:
Flashaholics anonymous will help.

Please I am having the very exact same issue and can't seem to have it fixed
Using CMW I also flashed it back to stock rom, didnt have any problem or errors doing it but im still getting No SIM Inserted. I have deleted cache and user data several times... Tried flashing CM10 and CrashRom see if they made a difference and still No Sim Inserted... tried 3 different kernels and still same issue
I have the exact same problem since yesterday. I've tried everything and anything to no avail. I'm very close to returning the phone.
I would really appreciate any input.
Same issue
I flashed crash rom 4.5, over the stock kernel and it gave me that same message. I've tried everything I could think of, which included everything in this thread to no avail... any further advice would be greatly appreciated.

Your username suggests that you have the N7100 device ??
If so. ..you are in the wrong place for support. ..As this is the SGH-I317 section.
If you are showing IMEI NULL with no baseband you may have to restore your backup image to correct the problem. .
If no backup image exists. ..you will need to flash a factory N7100 image from your section.
Look for the return to stock thread for your specific device and that should fix you up...
The CF AUTO ROOT files are device specific. ..so I hope you haven't damaged the partitions.
Good luck. ..g

This will help. ..and will place you in the right section. ..

lg g3 no service detected !

Hi everyone
i have an lg g3 d855 EU working just fine for 1 year and a half ,
And lately when i upgrade to Marshmallow and then i stated flashing a different custom roms and they all work fine!
But a week ago I got a strange problem! A sudden msg appear for few second and then phone keep rebooting:
“Mobile network will be unavailable until you restart with a valid sim card”
I’ve done a lot of research and tried them all but still the same probe:
-put a piece of paper on the top of the sim cad
-replace the sim card
- Factory reset
-flashed android 5 the original kdz file got from official lg firmware using my IMEI
-....
So I decided to get it to a technician!
-so he replaced the sim card reader with a new one! After that the phone went just fine for 4 days and then the problem come back, so I get it back to him, so he replaced the reader with second new one and he told me that the reader is not the problem and is 100% working so when I put the sim card and reboot it ask me for "pin code" but when I after put the pin code, the phone keep searching for signal for few second than it stay no service at all.
the technician sad that there is some file in lg g3 responsible for the service detection and stuff like that only be obtained from another working lg g3 and only solution is that he can get those fil from a working lg g3 and put it into my phone and he told me it will be working again for sure !
So please guys help me I’m stuck !! Is there anyone know something about these files or their names?? And if he can provide me them I’ll be so grateful. :good:
Haven't seen this problem before. A file issue? Perhaps do another complete factory reset then do a complete wipe flash of the global rom, using the LG flash tool. Get the rom here http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/lg-g3-android-marshmallow-discussions-t3216143
I use that rom so there shouldn't be any issues. Hope this helps

No signal, no wifi, no gps

Hello you guys!
I just received my lg g7 g710ulm. And when i turned on the phone i understood that im not lucky.. I need your helps! Please! Because i cant do it myself.
1. No signal. Don't search networks. Immediately getting error when trying to do it myself. "Preferred network mode" can't change due error and it showed "null". After reflashing it's now showing "22".
2. Don't see any wifi networks. But access point is working and other devices can see me.
2.1 I found that wifi going to work then i tried to use gps. After few seconds phone starting see wifi networks and connecting. If turn off wifi and turn on again phone don't see networks and you need to repeat procedure.
3. Looks like gps not working too.. But tried only in indoor.
I can't understand is it software or hardware issue. Maybe seller changed imei number and model by firmware and did it wrong? Antutu showing strange imei.
Can i to know somehow real model of phone? I can try to make logs and attached it here. Or maybe somebode can check imei, bands with octopus box? I dont know what to do
P.S. Bluetooth is working. Tried to send file and it was fine.
I can't return phone to shop because im living in different country But phone is amazing! And I loved lg. I had lg optimus one (was lost and back by good people), then lg optimus black(was burned in bonfire), lg g2(left in taxi), lg g6 (was lost) and finally lg g7. Yeah, looks like something wrong with me or these lg.. But i love it
Did you put in your SIM card first before you started...
I read you need to insert sim first but could be wrong.

Sure, i did it. Anyway don't search networks. But what carrier of sim card and numbers into sim card, phone can recognise.
Maybe i wrote not understandable? My english not first language. So asking. I will try to explain.
Thanks for your reply.
I uploaded a log file with errors but cant to write here link, because i need 10 messages
My G710ULM's GPS stopped working 2 days ago, still trying to find out what's the cause of it. Tried apps like GPS Status, GPS Locker, no avail that it isn't picking any satellites at all. Just searching for GPS location. Restarting the device haven't helped either. In settings I even excluded all apps in Power Saving Exclusions. In GPS Status app, resetted and downloaded the A-GPS, this should surely make the GPS work. No success.

Hello expert. I have an LG G7 ThinQ ULM phone. The problem of this phone is no phone waves signal, 3G, 4G. (a week ago that is good). I think that because the SIM and insert this SIM into other phones, this SIM still works very well. So can you show me how to fix it? Thank you very much!
Note: I was try as below but not success
Go to the Home screen;
Tap on the Phone app;
Switch to the Dial pad;
Type in (*#*#4636#*#*) and just wait – the phone should automatically redirect you to the Service mode;
Once you’ve entered this new mode, tap on Phone Information or Device Information;
Tap on Run Ping test;
Look for the button labeled as Turn Radio Off and select it;
Wait for the phone to restart;
Tap on reboot.

hi, i need help, same mistake, i dont get a solution
Hi guys, I bring a solution to this problem, I found this topic: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/no-signal-after-crossflashing.4089281/, you understood better by reading yourselves, but basically I flashed the rom with lg up chip erase mode and my wifi/data started working again, I know this is not recommended under any circumstances but it worked for me.
However, be aware that ChipErase mode not only erases IMEI numbers, but also erases MAC addresses, EFS partition and others. In many countries if your device does not have an IMEI number or other identifiers, SIM networks cannot allow (my case in Brazil it worked) for you to register with them, i.e. in most cases your sim will not work on the phone and you will not have cell service. You may still have issues with WiFi networks as without MAC addresses your WiFi will be grayed out or the network may not allow you to connect. Also, be aware that in many countries around the world knowingly tampering with or changing your phone's IMEI numbers is against the law. IMEI number is how networks and ultimately law enforcement identify the device and its owner
