Hi everyone.
As i read on so many posts, my SGN one night just drop the signal. The day after, still with no signal, i checked that had no IMEI and unknown baseband.
I had tried so many "solutions" for this to work and still nothing.
It came (when i bought it, second handed from ebay) with slimbeam rom installed. I did nothing weird to it, just simply drop signal and lost IMEI and baseband. I flashed 4.0.4, 4.2.2 from google developers web, i changed the radio for a DOCOMO one, but still nothing.
As my english is not too good, i attached a photo that explain how is my phone actually.
Please, any help will be much appreciatted as i got $300 spend on this Galaxy Nexus.
Why would you use a docomo radio? Is it a docomo phone? Have you tried flashing any other radios?
Check to make sure the contact pins that read the sim card are not damaged.

One of the solutions i've read says that with this radio the signal get fixed, but didn't work

My problem isn't with the sim card, it's with no IMEI and baseband at all. Thanks anyway.
I think i just killed it.
I was trying another "solution" i found on the web, and now the phone don't turn on.
I installed an APK from the market called GSII_REPAIR and after it says to reboot the phone, now it doesn't turn on.
I read that this app is for the galaxy S2 but appear on the search for my problem's fix.

First I would put it in odin dl mode and flash stock, that should get the phone to boot again. I understand your english isn't that good but can you explain what you have tried. Im basically wondering if you have tried to play with the nv_data.bin file in the /factory directory as this may be able to make the phone get some functionality back.
The reason for the the possible softbrick is cause the gsII repair was probably deleting and replacing the wrong files ... I would probably say that this is a corrupt EFS directory and would work on the techniques out there to repair that ... either that or you have the same problem I have where it is a hardware issue and there is no real fix possible .... One method that may work the best is to try and use QPST and manually input your IMEI into nv_data.bin file ... many possibilities I just don't know what you have tried

I try to turn it on ODIN mode, and recovery mode and doesn't turn on at all.
In the same post that i saw the app, say that i can do it manually by messing with those files (nv_data.bin) but at the end mentions a nv_data file that i havent saw on the factory folder. because of that i try with the app.

so if you can't get it into odin or bootloader you have either hard bricked your phone or the battery is dead ... usually you can still get it to trickle charge if you plug it in ... if the nv_data.bin file was not in the /factory partition then i would think in some way the EFS has been corrupted or you weren't using a file manager with root access since the file is a hidden file ... biggest thing now is getting it to boot which I can only think of flashing through the bootloader or odin but i don't know everything that is possible ... someone else would probably have to help you if you can't get into either of those
I have the efs info saved to my pc from a previous backup, but cant get it into the phone.. Anyone with some info on how to maybe sideload it via adb sideload in stock recovery???
This is my last ditch effort. Small back story: I somehow wiped EVERYTHING on my G2. EFS partition, ESN, data, SIM info., everything with dialer codes. All of my network information reads "unknown". I tried many methods from here on the forums to get this data back and it turns out I have lost my EFS partition- DNA for the network? I sent it to LG to get it fixed, having done a hard reset and leaving no trace of root. They sent it back without even asking and did no repairs. The note said "board bent". WTF?? How does the user bend the main board, especially when I never opened it? They voided my warranty and ripped off my IMEI/MEID sticker from the back of the phone.
Anyways, I am here with a brick. No network still. Here is what I have done:
1) .tot method to ZVC. Several more times... once to ZV7 where I lost touch capability. Luckily saved my arse with a micro->usb cable and a mouse.
2) attempted to root with ioroot25. Failed because the phone WILL NOT find recovery mode. adb, voldown+pwr then again from power off, and apps are unable to force the phone into recovery mode. I assume it is possible that my recovery mode is deleted?
3) Would have tried all of these "rewrite your efs/imei/etc" things but I can't do any without root. Can't root without recovery, can I?
4) Spent the last two weeks scouring the internet for a fix and going back to my Epic 4G temporarily.
Please help me, has anyone seen this before? Can anyone help me fix it? I am to the point where I would pay to have it fixed. Any experts out there? XDA has yet to let me down... I just need to know if I can fix it or if it is a brick so I can go searching for an old Sprint GS3.
Thanks all,
baublitz
That is strange, no recovery ?
So phone completely off, power and volume up doesn't put you into stock recovery?

Have you tried the recovery method detailed in this thread? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582142
Assuming you can get the file system partitions outlined in this thread to appear on a Linux PC, you should be able to write the partition images here http://downloads.codefi.re/autoprime/LG/LG_G2/LS980/Stock_Firmware/zvc_partitions and recover your phone (particularly if you have an EFS backup).

Rooting doesn't matter for purposes of that recovery method; the reason it is mentioned is because rooting can cause you to get into the soft-bricked situation if you happen to take an over-the-air (OTA) update while you're rooted.
Here is my OG post...please, anyone, help me to know what YOU would do in this case. I'm freaking out that I have a $500 paperweight I can't take back to Sprint because I'm rooted and on a custom ROM. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Please help me, anyone. I am freaking. I flashed this ROM per the instructions (no I did not do a backup, my fault). However, although the ROM loaded, it told me I needed a T-Mobile SIM for WiFi calling to work. That may have been discussed before. That is irrelevant.
Since flashing this rom (Yes, I did the ROM, Modem, Reboot, and Firmware as said)...I can only make "Emergency Calls," I can't connect to data, can't connect to Sprint cell signal, and for the first time I can't get LG Flash Tool to work to get me back to Stock.
Can someone, anyone please tell me what to do? I need my phone soon because I'm leaving, but nothing works!!!!

Hi if you have LS980 you need to download room for LS980 here is the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2754167
Than you need to boot into recovery twrp and than you need USB OTG Cable here is the link on ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/13cm-Micro-U...item35d4da865d
Copy LS980 room zip file to to flash drive connect to your phone thru recovery mount usb otg than flash ls980 zip
You will be back on Sprint and after that LG Flash tool will work to if you needed

Thanks again for your instructions and help. I got the OTG, followed your steps precisely, and it SAID it installed Stock ZVC successfully (twice, actually)...yet it still will only boot back into TWRP. In download mode, LG Flash tool still doesn't work. This computer has all drivers, Windows 7, and had no issues before this ROM.
Do you have any other ideas? Now I've bought a cable for no reason. Help, please!
__________________________________________________
EDIT: I used these instructions to get me out of the TWRP Bootloop:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2451696
Now I have the Stock Rooted ZVC Odex ROM installed, but STILL, no data, no signal connectivity. I try to update PRL and it says authentication error. I try to make a phone call and it says "Emergency Calls Only." This stuff ONLY happened after this (TMobile ROM). Please help me if you can. I've made major progress with your OTG instructions and getting out of the OTA TWRP Bootloop. Now how do I get past the "authentication" error and get the data and signal restored? Can Sprint do that from their side?
Edit # 2: I called Sprint, they walked me through fixing the MDN and MSID, factory reset, nothing works. It still shows "NO SERVICE," "AUTHENTICATION ERROR," AND ALTHOUGH IN MDN AND MSD my # is correct, in SETTINGS it shows my old (pre-port) phone number.
He told me to take it to a Sprint Store but clearly I can't because I'm rooted and on a debloated ROM. Please, any advice is so much appreciated.
Thank you,
BIlly

This SOUNDS like the answer...but I'm missing an EFS backup and these 2 files. Can I get my hands on these two files?
modemst1.img and modemst2.img????
Thank you... http://www.shiftpda.com/archive/index.php/t-12042.html
I've had this problem. I do think this phone can be wonky when using custom ROMs. Some people have no problem, others have constant problems, and some have problems SOMETIMES. There is no right answer so far.
I would just continue flashing different ROMs until something works. This worked for me: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2775888
But unfortunately now I have the dreaded touch dead-spot.
have you tried to tot back ?

Yes, they did (hence the reference to LG Flash Tools). It sounds likeyour EFS partition got wiped. If you didn't back up your EFS, I think you're kinda SOL. From what I've read it's nearly impossible to get back your EFS data if you don't have the files. If you can find a way to hack it out by using someone else's files, let me know. I have mine from every backup I've done and if I can remove my info from them I'll post them. Sorry to hear about your issue, hope you find a solution.

I think I have great news. I looked in my ioroot folder and found both of the files (3 MB each) that are modemst1.img and modemst2.img.
I created a folder on the Internal called EFS_Backup, and I copied and pasted those two files into the new folder, renaming them efs1 and efs2. They renamed and stuck in the folder just fine, but running the ADB commands didn't work. So I used the flashable EFS zip in TWRP and it said FAILED.
I'm thinking since I have these 2 files I should be able to fix this, right???? But...the thing that's driving me nuts is that LG Flash Tool, no matter what version, will NOT work on my device anymore. Not with either of my PC's.
Does anyone have a suggestion for what to do now that I found those modem files in my ioroot folder?
I feel like this is the closest I have gotten and now I'm stuck. LG Flash Tools never worked on Windows 8. The OLDER versions worked fine with .tot files BEFORE all of this happened, in Windows 7. Now even Windows 7 won't work to use LG Flash Tools, after I created this mess.
Can anyone PLEASE help me take these 2 files and get them to fix my EFS? I really don't know what I'm doing, clearly, or I would have backed up my EFS first. Problem here is probably same everywhere...I've always done this, never bothered with Nandroid or EFS backups, but also never had the issue of only having an internal memory on an Android device. Stupid mistake.
I would greatly appreciate any help that can be offered. I have one more day and I can still take this phone back...IF I can fix it. Thank you in advance!
PS: I Have my ESN, MEID HEX, MEID DEC, IMEI, ICCID AND IMSI - ALL POPULATED WITH NUMBERS IN SETTINGS. WHAT IS "UNKNOWN" IS MY PHONE NUMBER AND MY PRL.

i have my friends phone and he's galaxy s3 is stuck on download mode and its looping there everytime
it happened out of nowhere, he wasn't playing around with it it just happened
now its stuck on downloading and wont go to recovery for me to initialize the device through kies or smartswitch
NO ACCESS TO RECOVERY MODE AT ALLL
i tried numerous ways to retrieve the phone into working condition but no success at all
thru odin i get the pit error and when i place a pit to repartititon with the stock tar file or the cwm recovery tar i failed
it says complete write operation failed and it takes a long time to set up connection with the device before showing me the fail
its a tmobile sgh-t999 prob 16 gb
any genius here got any ideas?
What firmware build was on the device and what build did you try to flash using Odin?
Did you try different versions of odin?
Different driver versions?
Different USB cable?
Different USB port?
If kies is installed on the computer, get rid of it. It interferes with Odin.
If none of that helps it may be a hardware failure.

The same thing has happened to my wife's phone and I have done almost the same steps to fix it with similar results.
If you tried everything I mentioned and are sure you weren't flashing an older firmware build (only after 4.3), then theres a good chance it's a hardware failure, probably with the memory.

OK, uninstalled Kies and tried to flash T999UVUEOH1_T999TMBEOH1_TMB rom with odin again and got there is no pit partition error. Would post some pictures of the boot screen and a screenshot of the odin program but need 10 posts. Well not sure what version was on phone before all this happened.) Also the ODIN bootloader screen says SYSTEM STATUS: NONE Warrenty Bit: 0 BOOTLOADER AP S?AEV: 1 among other things...forgot to mention I used ODIN v3.10.6 because v3.10.7 gave me a win32 error when I tried to run it on my Windows XP PC.
Here's my suggestion to at least get the phone running a ROM:
download Odin 3.07 from here: https://www.google.ca/url?sa=t&rct=...5QWImOPDJboTA_V3D5S9eA&bvm=bv.107763241,d.dmo
download the tar version of TWRP 2.8.6.0 from here: https://dl.twrp.me/d2tmo/
download the latest cm12.1 for the phone from here and save it to a micro SD card: https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=d2tmo&type=nightly
place the micro SD card into the phone;
boot the phone into download mode;
open Odin 3.07 and uncheck everything except f. reset time;
click on PDA and browse to the tar TWRP file and select it;
connect the phone and it should show up as a com port in Odin;
flash TWRP;
when you see the word RESET in the status window, remove the USB cable, remove the battery, replace the battery, use the button combination to get into recovery which should now be TWRP;
perform a full wipe of system, data, and cache;
flash CM12.1 from the micro SD card;
reboot the phone.
Hopefully, the above steps will get the phone booted so you can confirm the installed bootloader and modem.
Followed your guide step by step but flash failed in odin Get Pit for mapping..
There is no PIT partition.
All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1):crying: BTW thank for all your help.
You got the pit error flashing twrp in Odin? Any other errors? What model number is shown at the top of the screen when the phone is in download mode?
The only times I've encountered this type of behavior it turned out to be a hardware failure (memory). If that is indeed the case here, I'm afraid there won't be much you can do for it. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying you should just give up, but you should probably at least start looking at other options.
The main reasons I believe this to be the case are
1. It just died while nothing was being done (not being used)
2. Pit errors indicate either the partition table has been corrupted, or the partitions themselves have. Because it cannot detect any system (SYSTEM STATUS: NONE), it's more likely to be the partitions them selves, not the partition information table (pit).
Something else that doesn't look good, (but that I've never seen before) is the S?AEV. It should be SWREV. (Software Revision). It may mean nothing, but I've never seen it before so I thought I'd point it out.
As I said, I'm not saying you should give up yet. I've been wrong before and I'd hope to be again in this case. But I wouldn't put too much more time and effort into it as I've never seen one of these types of failures restored. They are pretty rare, but they do happen.
My best suggestion at this point is to start looking into replacing either the motherboard or the device. Motherboards can be found for reasonable prices, but you do have to be careful when buying one. (Let us know if you want to do this and we'll give you some tips on what to look for).
I'm sorry that this happened and that there doesn't seem to be much I can do to help. If you had any important data (pics or whatever), there's a small chance it can still be recovered. Don't get your hopes up too much for it, but using ADB while in download mode MIGHT allow you to copy your stuff to the computer. I can't remember if this can be done from download mode though, and if the data partition is also hosed you'd be out of luck there anyway.
If i think of anything else you can try, I'll certainly let you know. Audit13 might have a few ideas you can try too. As I said though, you should also start looking into other options. Let us know what you want to do and we'll continue to help as best as we can!

Wow, thanks Doc for replying. I was hopeful for a better result. BTW it does say SWREV I just couldn't quite make out the W at the time so I put ? to indicate that. I do have a little experience working on these phones (replaced the entire LCD/screen and USB port on my Note2) The model of the phone is listed as SGH-T999 in ODIN mode and it is a T-mobile phone. How much is motherboard and what should I look for as far as part number?
Found this with a quick ebay search: http://m.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-Galax...Board-Motherboard-s3-/221940485670?nav=SEARCH
I searched for "galaxy s3 T999 motherboard". That one is 68.50 obo.
It's been a while since I've looked, and it looks like there's a lot fewer of them available now. (Used to get tons of results).
You can also look for an I747 (AT&T) board. The I747 and T999 are fully compatible. No other models will fit into the case. (The T999V and I747M would probably also work. I'm not sure about the T999L or T999N models though. I'm guessing they would, but really have no idea for sure.)
Some terms to search for would be: Galaxy S3 T999 motherboard, I747 motherboard, mainboard, etc.
Also search for the same models with broken screens. Many times people sell these cheap and everything inside works perfectly. Might be cheaper too.
Watch out for certain words and phrases in the listing though. Some sellers will try a little wordplay to make it sound better than it is. If i find an example, I'll post it. Stuff like cracked screen won't power on can be changed to sound like it's only the screen won't come on, when it's really the whole device. Either ask for clarification, or move on.
I like the ones that are very specific, like cracked screen, but does appear to boot up and gives boot sounds.
Ask the seller for the imei number and check it yourself on swappa. I'd also call t-mobile and verify with them.
I hope that helps. Feel free to ask if you're wondering about a specific listing or anything else.
Oh and if buying from an eBay store, make sure they've got very good ratings. Individual people often won't have many ratings, but can sometimes be more trustworthy and more willing to give specifics. Sometimes....
You can also check places like Swappa and Craigslist.

The simplest way to get a replacement motherboard would be to look in the used market for a t999 that has smashed or defective screen with working internals.
If it is not too expensive, a jtag repair centre may be able to force flash a rom.
So I've recently got my hands on a dirt cheap OP3 with problems (seller did warn me of those but I thought "how hard can it be to fix them?")
To start with: OP3 A3003, OOS3.1.2, TWRP and SuperSU. IMEI and Baseband are in tact, I can make calls and use LTE, so it's possible to live with it, but those couple problems ruins whole pleasant oneplus experience.
And problems are:
1. Wifi doesnt work. At all. It can't detect any networks and for MAC adress there is weird 02:00:00:00:00:00
2. None of the sensors shows any signs of life, checked with Sensor Box app and *#808#
There is a perfectly good explaination for both of those: root browsers shows /persist completely empty. So if there is any way to fix this lovely piece of modern tech - only this place can provide it. So help, please ;]
P.S. Soft/hard reset and reflashing aren't helping obviously, nor does deleting /persist - after reboot it appears in same state.
My OP3 has Wifi, GPS, Dialer works but none of the sensors work. I tried everything from flashing roms to using unbrick methods but nothing works too.

Ok, so I've pulled persist.img from the toolkit, flashed it right after "erase persist" and that revived all of my sensors! Yay! I guess that toolkit might help with wifi as well, tho no idea which part of it. I'd use whole procedure, but there is one problem here - it needs bricked phone to start with.
on my lg g2 days, when screwed pretty bad with something, there was a script for nuke laf partition to boot qsbulk mode (and also erase whole emmc for real clean start), dunno how/if there is such a scrip for op3

If you wanna brick your phone its easy. Install 4.0.2 and then root and make sure you have TWRP of course. Download the OTA to 4.0.3 the small one not the full zip. Flash that in recovery. You'll be bricked

Thanks for info, nice to know ;] Although I'd like to avoid such drastic measures. Better to pin a roach with a needle instead of nuking it, right?
had the same issue, OnePlus replaced motherboard for free.
