T989D Wont accept any carrier sim cards, IMEI unknown, Baseband Unknown - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

Currently having this issue with my friends t989d. It happened after a factory wipe and after it booted bad into android before you can even register it, the launcher just hangs and freezes. you can swipe to get to the notification bar but thats it. I flashed a telus image through odin and can boot into android so i can see under the about screen that the imei and baseband is unknown. I've seen this issue on a few other forums but no resolution. Has anyone come back from this before? Could is possibly be a corrupted EFS Folder?
Thanks

Maybe you have to manually flash the telus modem to get it to recognize it. Seems like a radio issue

[Q] No service whatsoever

*Bad english ahead*
The problem is that my phone seems to refuse to get any service at all. The signal icon just shows a big "X" and it is stuck in "Searching for service".
Phone status shows that the Signal strenght is on -79 dBm, so i guess the anthena is working just fine. But below Service Sate it just shows "Out of service".
Im using a EB13 Modem with the SyndicateROM.
In fact, the phone was working just fine with MidnightROM until i flashed the SyndicateROM over.
Already tried reverting it to Stock rom and nothin, any suggestions?
Did you try reflashing (Just) the modem through ODIN?
Let me try...
Does this one should work? (The odin one)

Did you flash your Epic to Telcel? If so, that process might be causing you some problems. After using Odin to get back to stock, install CWM3 then SRF1.0.1, then once you're stable there, try the carrier flash again.

What do you mean by "Flashing my epic to telcel" and that "Carrier flash?" is on Iusacell, since Telcel dont support CDMA.
And one last thing, what is SFR1.0.1?
EDIT:
Im reverting back to DI18 Stock rom with odin to see if i can do something.

Oh okay - the banner under your username says Telcel, so I figured they were it. I thought I'd read they support CDMA but I was mistaken.
SRF1.0.1 is SyndicateROM Frozen 1.0.1.
On the flash, let me rephrase - did you do anything special to get the Epic to work on Iusacell, or did it work there out of the box?
That's the reason then. You can't change ROMs if you're on a carrier other than Sprint, it will revert your phone back to Sprint.

Nope, the phone was working just fine out of the box. It had signal (Roaming) and all.
I even flashed like 3 roms before Syndicate and it was working just fine. Was just yesterday that i decided to try this ROM out and got the problem.

I'm not entirely sure what to tell you - there's nothing in SRF that should/will/can cause any problems of that sort. Going back to full stock via Odin didn't help?
I followed this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Samsung_Galaxy_S/SPH-D700 to return to Stock rom, but i can't get this thing working
Im pretty much lost as well.
EDIT:
Oh god what the... I was just messing around with the phone. Turned on the Flight mode. Made a Factory reset via Privacy setting, Rebooted the phone, turned off the a Flight mode and suddenly had signal again.
I dont know what happened, since i tried the factory reset before with no luck... But well, im glad its working now. Thank you to both of you for the help anyways.
I have a similar problem as the OP, and I'm pretty sure it's ClockworkMod that's causing it.
Seems like every other time I do something in CWM, I get no service and an unknown Baseband and Hardware version in the phone's settings.
So far the only reliable way I've found of fixing it is to Odin all the way back to DI18 and start fresh.
For some reason Odining the modem or EB13 doesn't work (I still get no service).
And I must say, it's incredibly frustrating.
I guess I'll just have to get SRF flashed and never touch CWM again (because doing so almost always breaks my phone).
I'd like to be able to make Nandroid backups though, but unfortunately, doing so breaks the modem (which really doesn't make any sense).

Getting no service after boot. Please help!

I was running ICS 4.0.4 stock rom on my Koodo SGH-T989D. I used Darkside super wipe and then flashed Ginerbread 2.3.5 using Odin. To my knowledge, Koodo never ran gingerbread on this model so I had to use the Telus version. But since they are both T989Ds I didn't think there would be an issue.
My issue now is after I turn on my phone, it takes about 3 minutes before it finds my network. Normally it's within seconds that it finds my Koodo network. I'm just wondering what the issue might be. Is it kernel related? I've tried flashing different radios, but that didn't work. I've done a factory reset, and flashed again using Odin. My data wasn't working as well, but I fixed that by manually entering in Koodo's data settings.
So any ideas what I can do? Or did I make a mistake trying to flash a Telus rom on a Koodo phone in the first place? Obviously I'm just learning my way around here, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

This is probably a stupid question, but how would I know whether it's reading my SIM?
I know after a few minutes it finally finds the Koodo signal and I have service.

It should show a sim card icon in status bar if its not reading or say no sim card on lockscreen. Otherwise it's working. 1.Try taking it out of phone and putting it back reboot see if its works after reboot. 2. If that doesn't work try another sim if you have it sometimes the cards get messed up flashing but rarely.
3. Dial *2767*3855# in the dialer for full factory format/reset. See if any of this helps you out.

It's very weird. It does recognize my SIM because when I take it out, a pop up comes up saying no sim and to reboot. I spent last night trying to get rid of the problem by flashing different roms, and seeing if there was any different. I flashed a CM10, my stock ICS 4.0.4, and the gingerbread rom. Some I flashed through ODIN, other through TWRP. After a bunch of different tries in no order, it finally got back to have service available immediately. But I went to do just a normal factory reset after I flashed the rom, and it lost service at the beginning of my boot again.
Any idea why a factory reset would affect that?
also, any idea why even after a few minutes when my service comes on, my data is still not available. I need to go to setting and enter in sp.koodo in the settings. Any ideas?

Bad signal or No service after flashing

Hi there. My device is a i747 on Virgin Mobile (Bell) in Canada. I have no service, or 1 bar of signal (can't make calls at all).
I flashed CM10 in November. Then just the other day I flashed Synergy. Then switched to Galaxy Mod. (I followed instructions for each flash, wiped everything each time etc. even when not specified in the instructions)
Today I switched to CyanogenMod 10.1, I got stuck in a boot loop. So I reflashed back to a stock root image with Odin (root66.stock_Bell_I747MVLALH1.tar). Now I have no service! I can see one signal bar. Under status it says VIRGIN.
EDIT: Now after I typed that, I reflashed another rooted stock image, I have no service at all and IMEI shows as 0.
EDIT: Since posting I have restored my IMEI, the phone seems to be registered on the network. But still no signal just like before
EDIT: March 16: I have tried flashing modems. Then I restored to the latest actual stock (non-rooted) image from my carrier. Same thing.
Please help me out, thanks

Hello.
I just travelled by train and it picked up signals, both voice and data. Possibly because i was passing close to a cell tower. But it quickly stopped working whenever the train moved too far from a cell tower.
Then back to no signal at all.
Will check APNs, but I don't think it would start working then stop if it were a configuration issue.

I tried about 4-5 so far. Didn't work. It's the same result. I'm not able to make any calls, it either shows 1 bar or No service.
So far I have set APNs, updated IMEI, and reflashed modems. When I get home I'm going to try more stuff.

Hi there, I just flashed this file from Samsung-updates.com using Odin. It is 4.1.1 from my carrier.
KIES_HOME_I747MVLDLK4_I747MOYCDLK4_538866_REV04_user_low_ship.tar.md5
Then I did a factory reset from inside Touchwiz. What should I try next?
I tried flashing another image: KIES_HOME_I747MVLALE8_I747MOYCALE8_20120523.225040_REV04_user_low_ship.tar.md5
and doing the factory reset code *2767*3855#. Didn't work, still have no signal in general.

so i wanted to try new Modem, just so i can increase my Signal, and right now, my data plan is keep going on and off, and most the time i can't get it connected it.
i did the wipe date /factory reset from the ROM manager, and wipe cache and dalvik. and yet the problem is not solved.

and the Modem am currently running which sometimes works ( I747MVLDLK4 ) am with Rogers, Canada, Edmonton, AB
If anyone helped me out with this, your next coffee is on me! for real!

Yes! i think i did a mistake. While i restored to the stock rom, The baseband that i was using it was I747MVLDLK4 and not the STOCK modem. So maybe that is why its not getting connected? am trying to apply the stock modem into the the stock rom, but its giving me Fail error.
am just scratching my head right now to be quite honest and this close to throw my cellphone outside of the balcony.

i managed to make my modem into the stock version. However am just getting "E" in my data connection. Reminder am still in STOCK ROM and stock modem now. is that a good sign that i slighty getting everything back??
should i just install the CM 10.1 now and see the results or what you guys recommend?
annnnnnnnnd my " E" is gone.. Beautiful
do you guys think it might be a actual physical sim card issue?
UPDATE: i restored my phone into the stock rom by Odin3 and now i just re flashed the Cm 10.1 again. sadly i still have no connection and my income and outcome for calling and texts is also not working.
please help!
Try flashing Task's AOKP and see if you have the same issue. Additionally, try deleting the current APNs (access point names) and manually enter the APN settings for your carrier. Could also just be a faulty SIM card as you mentioned.

Radio not working when wifi is on.

I've had this Samsung S3 for almost a year now, and in the pass week, my radio has been acting funny, It dropped the IMEI, and pretty must lost all connections with my 3G network, So I ended up wipe the phone and setting it back to the default S3 ROM, after being on cyanogen mod ROM for a few months. After a bit of fiddling, I ended up finally getting my IMEI number back, and it worked fine.... till I connected to Wifi. After I connect to the Wifi, my radio stops working period. Any ideas on what could be wrong?
I'm running a Samsung SGH-1747M, which is an AT&T version, although my carrier is rogers in Canada.
