[GT-I9190] Baseband, IMEI and IMEI SV all Unknown - Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey Guys,
So i recently flashed from stock to CM13 via TWRP Recovery which was installed via Odin.
After doing this my device is now almost operating perfectly (Exceptionally better than it performed on Stock),
except i now get Baseband Unknown, IMEI Unknown and IMEI SV Unknown.
- Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini GT-I9190
- I do not have any backups of /efs! (sorry!)
- I have my IMEI number written down
Any Solutions to this ?
Thanks in Advance,
Dizzy.

How about you use kies and flash the stock rom?

Can you please elaborate, i'm not sure what kies does or how to use it,
I have tried flashing couple stock roms and all had the same problem.

Install Samsung kies(jellybean) or kies 3(for kitkat). Then click on tool tab and click on firmware upgrade and initialisation. Enter the phone model and S/No as shown on the back of your phone. and it will download your stock rom which might help you restore your imei.

[Q] Stock recovery firmware version.

Hi, sorry if his question has been asked before.
I purchased a grey import note 2, I then flashed it with Omega custom rom and I didn't back up the original rom.
Is it possible to check the origin country of this note 2 so that I can look up for the correct stock firmware to flash back to stock rom??
I need to send it for warranty claim, therefore I need to restore to original, but not sure which stock rom should I flash.
Thanks in advanced.
You can flash any stock ROM preferebly from your contry and flash using odin from here

If you want to flash original firmware which was came packed
open Kies - Tools - firmware upgrade and initialization
it will ask for your serial number (you can find in setting - about device) and flash according serial number. which will be latest for your device.
Wrong section.
Since note 2 doesn't have an international warranty, you will have to send it to the country you imported it from. So flash the firmware of that country.
Sent from my GT-N7100
One more thing to clear
you already have custom ROM, so before sending to warranty make sure your flash counter is reset to 'No'
Just flashing stock ROM won't work
Read post#3 of thread mentioned in my previous post for any details.

Hi dr.ketan,
I've done resetting flash counter to 'No'.
After using Kies 'firmware upgrade and initialization', providing the model and serial number, it has downloaded the firmware and restored it back to stock rom.
So does this mean that the firmware Kies flashes is the official stock rom that my phone should be running?
Thanks.
Yes, bcoz it flashes firmware according to serial number so it means it should use its record.
And what is information now on dialling *#1234#

[Q] 4.1.2 to 4.3 Made device un accessible to mobile network

Hello there,
I live in India and my Note 2 is a Poland made and running with 4.1.2 stock ROM non rooted. But the device status was shown 'modified'. Due to that (i think) i was not able to get any updates. So i decided to download and flash 4.3 ROM via odin. I did exactly and flashing was success. But after that i was not able to connect to my mobile network. It shows the coverage, base-band version, operators around me, IMEI...etc. But failed to register on network. Sadly i found that my IMEI was changed. Then i searched in xda and found out few modem patches. To flash them i rooted device and installed recovery. Then flashed DMG1_MODEM and modem_XXDME4 but nothing happened. Phone is still not registering to network.
What to do ?
I assumed that your device history was imei null or efs corruptted which has been fixed under 4.1.2 version.by upgrading the modem it will surelly broke your efs again.use special box to repair the network, nothing else you can do.
you have to flash the factory-image via odin (i think this would be the poland one in your case). you will get this on sammobile.com. with this it recreates your efs including your imei. (had this problem also)
after this you can try flashing a different rom, but don't forget to backup the efs

Is it safe to downgrade from 4.3 to 4.1 just by flashing factory images via odin ?
If you have flashed the latest bootloader MK4,its not possible to downgrade to 4.1 as of now...

Flash your original modem, or any latest full ROM in odin

We did try that a few times, it did not work. I was genuinely surprised as we used a Swiss stock rom that restored the imei number and network connectivity.

I 've tried it, I now use N900TUVUFOL1_N900TTMBFOL1_TMB-v5.0.1 :crying:
Maybe the EFS folder got corrupted? If you have a backup, try restoring the EFS folder with a stock ROM.
After flashing stock, install the Samsung Phone Info app to ensure that the bootloader, baseband, etc. all show OL1.
You confirmed that the model # n900t is displayed in download mode?

Yes i tried. Also i tried odon flashing too. Yes it is running stock rom. 4.4.2 also i tried 4.1.2
Did you try reflashing the latest stock ROM with Odin with a factory reset after flashing?
The phone shows the correct imei?
Was the phone dropped?
It's possible that the phone had suffered a hardware failure.
I flashed tge latest rom from sammobile. Imei had changed it is not the original imei. No damage ..
