Well... I've got an Xperia S with Cianogenmod 10 installed. But i decided to go back to stock rom, so i flashed it with flashtools this firmware: LT26i_6.2.B.1.96_World. Everything seems to be ok when i did it. But when i turn on the device it asks me the pin code entering the system without problems. But it doesn't connect to the Vodafone network and i can't call or recieve them...
i have to say that my phone comes from movistar and it was liberated to use it with other companies. and then they have installed cianogenmod10.
I didn't like it at all so i went back to stockrom as i told before, but with this problem: if you get into the menu: #*#*4636*#*# and i try to select the euroband it only appears USA Band. I've already flashed an european baseband with no results!! Does anybody knows what to do?? Thanks!!
Your TA-partition probably got deranged by a bug in Flashtools. Same happened with mine, and since I didn't have a backup of the TA I now only use it at home for streaming music. I wasn't gay when I found out!

I bought a Defy second hand on ebay locked to T-Mobile UK. I don't have a T-Mobile SIM so I booted it up to test over wifi. However the wifi will only connect if I switch my router to G, and even when it does say it is connected I can't get on the net despite every other PC in the house working fine. I even changed the networks to open to rule out the security but with no luck.
Since I can't do an official update without a SIM (Or so the Motorola software tells me, I wonder what would happen if I went ahead) I was thinking of rooting and installing a custom ROM to see if this helps. However, obviously if I do this I won't be able to dispute the purchase on ebay so I want your advice before I plough on.
Do you think that a custom ROM will fix my wifi issue or is it more likely to be a faulty Defy that the seller has fobbed off on me?
Cheers.
from a technical point of view i dont think that the defy's hardware is faulty, i've heard of such wifi issues with some routers, even had some with mine with an early version of pays rom, so a custom rom will probably solve your problem.
and i recommend a custom rom over any official blur crapped software.
try miui.
Well I went ahead and put on the MIUI ROM but it has the same issue! Does this phone require a SIM to do anything? Do I need to be signed into a google account just to go on to the net?

I just updated my wife's defy to 2.2 this morning using MSU and it didn't have a SIM in it, it is for her birthday and i didn't want her to wonder why i wanted her SIM card.
All went smoothly.
Man i sugest first flash the nordic sbf FULL and after you flashed the sbf the play with custom roms like miui or cyanogen mine camed locked on orange i flashed the nordic 177 full sbf and after that it was all ok
RSDLite just gave me told me it failed when I tried the Nordic ROM.0x1700
I tried with the TMobile UK stock SBF file but it sticks in a boot loop between the Moto blur logo and TMobile. I flashed the 2.21 boot but no joy.
I flashed a T-MObile UK Froyo ROM and it boots and connects to open G wifi. Still no internet however.
i had the same problem connectiong to n-draft router, the connection got lost after some seconds. my solution was to edit the tiwlan.ini with root-explorer and change HT_Enable=0 to HT_Enable=1
you have to give the file write permission to save.
Chers for the tip, but now I discover this damn ROM is not rootable. At least, not with z4root.
Super one click did the job, but the file you mentioned already has HT_Enable = 1
***I managed to get the nor ROM to flash by running as admin and giving it a short name and putting it in the root directory! But guess what? Still no internet despite strong wifi signal. I don't know how to downgrade now to the original ROM. The one listed as T-Mobile UK 2.1 doesn't boot.
Now the phone isn't recognised by RSD at all. The white LED comes on though, there is some sign of life.
Bought a battery charger to charge the battery externally but still no joy when I plug the phone into a computer.
***nvm somehow it's working now. Flashing the nor ROM.
None of the SBF files seem to work now. Either I get a blank screen on boot or they get as far as the Moto logo (or android in the case of the nor rom) and loop.
Is it safe to flash other countries SBFs and then change the language?
can you try other people's wifi to see if you will encounter the same problem? if you don't then youneed to configure your router. flashing other country's sbf is ok, then use baseband switcher incase you have signal problems. wipe first before flashing
Hi there
Ok starting from the start.
My phone is not rooted (it is still s-on).
The phone was bought on ebay a couple months ago.
It has been working fine.
Yesterday, when pressing the power button to unlock, the lights came on but the screen did not.
This happened a number of times after rebooting the phone, then eventually it randomly came on again.
However, the signal, never came back. The phone thinks it's in 'airplane mode' when I press call. There is no airplane icon up top. I have turned airplane mode on and off each way, rebooted, hard reset and cleared all the data from sd card and phone. Wifi works, but signal is still 0.
Still same problem.
When pressing further, I noticed in the 'About' section of the phone, that the BASEBAND is UNKNOWN! So is the imei number etc.
I did a few google searches and couldn't find much; although it was suggested that I reflash the stock rom. I am unsure how to do this.
Please could somebody point me in the right direction, because I am panicing here.
Thanks very much

You can use the European version in Canada as well just fine if you happen to be here.
I flashed it to upgrade my radio version to get rid of GPS issues while using Jikantaru's XE ROM and it worked.
Ended up using the Euro version as my main ROM until 7.2 of Cyanogen from Alquez came out.
Still have an issue with the wifi in that so I, at Alquez's suggestion, use the libril.so from that Euro stock rom in Cm7.2 and it works much better.
The Euro stock release was solid in all regards, strong wifi, GPS, phone signal, etc.
Just follow the instructions on how to flash a stock rom.
Thanks guys. Will let you know how it goes.
I just turned the phone on without a sim card and it all came back (nothing was 'unknown'. Does this mean that the sim has something to do with it!?
HI,
I'm having this error message on boot and I can't find a solution. Every search I've made for this error comes up empty. The final solution being restore to factory. After doing that and trying to reinstall the rom I get the same error. Phone FC and i don't get time synched from the network anymore.
I'm not using TB. I'm not restoring any data. This is on a fresh clean install of the rom.
Any ideas? I need help!
What did you flash in terms or rom, mods, themes, and how did you flash?

I flashed the new Darkside rom with the TMO base. I'm starting to think that the new base is conflicting with my sim card... I'm not sure what to do about it... I'm with Virgin Mobile in Canada if that makes any difference...
No mods and no themes. Its just on first boot. Any other base seems to work fine. But since the TMO base I get that FC.
Could be a bad download, unlikely but if you haven't tried yet re-download the ROM
I've redownloaded multiple times and checked the md5... so the dl itself is fine... the install is fine... but once it connects to the network com.android.phone force closes... Do you know how to reset the network settings on the sim card itself?
process com.android phone has stopped
Hi,
My HTC One XL from Rogers is doing this when the address book syncs in the car. I have it de-bloated, rooted, and unlocked boot loader. My problem is that nothing seems to have changed. The phone works (Bluetooth )in the car until the address book is synched (or so it seems), then it cuts out. What to do?
Same problem with my ROM. I am using Reliance GSM in India. I tried with Vodafone & Airtel SIM and the phone works perfectly normal. Tried with my Dad's Reliance GSM and the problem is back. Dunno what the problem is exactly. Other ROMs work perfectly fine with Reliance in my cell. Problem is only with this one ROM. Incase you stumble upon a solution, pl do let me know as well.
My Original ROM with the same error
Hello everyone
My phone is Samsung S3, with original software, it asked me to update the system and i agreed after that i found it add some information such as it;s from United Emirates but i live in kuwait, and now i have the same error only when i try to make international call.
please any help without reset the phone?!!!
On some ROMs, they say it has something to do with the DPI
I've encountered this problem on AOKP 07/09 Milestone 6, and from searching in the forums, all I could gather is that it has something to do with my DPI settings.
On 07/05 it was okay, I just don't get it why flashing to 07/09 made this error appear.
UPDATE Now I discovered that turning the phone into Airplane mode removes this error. But then if you deactivate airplane mode again it comes back.

Why dont you post in the S3 forum?
I have an Xperia Play and I decided to flash it with cyanogenmod. First version I got working was the 7.1.0.2. Everything was working fine except for my network: the phone didn't even ask me for the PIN.
After this, I tried the experimental CM9.0 RC1, yet I found the same problem: SIM card not recognized, phone didn't ask PIN, no networks found.
At this point I realized I didn't install a baseband on my phone and tried that. I started flashing it with flashtool, but then forgot to install the .zip file from CWM.
With this the phone was asking for a PIN, but soon afterwards it asked for a "SIM network unlock code". My phone is not sim locked.
After I installed the baseband -36 correctly (with the .zip file from CWM), it returned to behave like before: no PIN asked, no networks found.
Is there a fix for this? I searched for a whole afternoon for this, didn't find anything. I'll give further details if needed, thanks in advance.
By the way, if I revert the system to the stock sony ericsson ROM everything works fine. My carrier is "3 Italy".
EDIT: Installed CM9RC2 and now everything works fine except for wi-fi. Well, i suppose it is to be expected from experimemntal builds.
Hi everyone! I am new here in XDA Developers.
I have been snooping around since 1 year ago or so, and I found this site when I hard bricked my phone.
Well, let's start the story:
I bought an used Moto Z Play from a friend, excellent phone, 10/10 functions and aesthetics.
Once i had the phone in my hands I wanted to ROOT it, because I wanted to hack games and stuff. The phone was in Android 8.0 (Oreo), but since there was no root for my phone and OS, y proceeded to search the latest OS that could be rooted. I found out that it was the android 7.1, I think. Well, since I wanted a "clean" installation in my phone I downloaded the original ROM, and wanted to update it like many people do, via OTA. I installed 6.0 (since it is it's original ROM, from factory), all good. The update notification showed up, I accepted; it updated to 6.1 or sth, then the 7.0 update, updated, AND finally came the 7.1. Once I updated, it bricked. HARD BRICKED. I panicked, since I wanted to give away this phone to my dad. I found out that I needed a blankflash. I searched through a lot of forums, some even in russian, and chinese. I found out and accepted that the blankflash for the android 8.0 never came out. I gave up.
Since then, I learned that I MUST NEVER UPDATE VIA OTA. I learned it the hard way. I'm sorry for my stupidness.
Then I bought another motherboard from another Moto Z Play. I installed it and discovered that the ROM wasn't STOCK. That's because when I turned on the phone it started in bootloader everytime. The new motherboard came with Android 8.0 (Oreo) but I'm sure that it is a custom rom.
Well, the phone is now working perfect, but NOW, I have a problem.
I want to use 2 SIM cards in it. The first SIM card works fine, calls, mobile data, Wi-Fi... everything is good.
BUT the second one, from a different service provider, does not work. I inquired and found out that it was a problem because my phone wasn't, apparently, unlocked for other providers. I tested the SIM card with other phone, it worked. In the Moto Z Play, I saw that the APN info was correct, it detected all the info, but could not make calls, no mobile data. Wi-Fi was good though. The SIM card is fine, but the phone is locked.
I need the IMEI, MY IMEI, lol, but it is a problem. I tried calling to *#06#, the message shows
┐
IMEI
0
└
and in the settings -> system -> about phone -> status -> IMEI info, it shows nothing, BLANK!!!
that's why I think it is a custom room, and I have a problem.
The phone works fine with the first SIM card though, and I really like it. But I wabt to use the other one too.
My question is, should I install another ROM in the phone? I'm very afraid that it could HARD BRICK AGAIN.
What do you guys recommend? Should I try it or leave like this?
Now I don't really care if I can ROOT the device or not, I just want it to be functional and solve the "unlock line providers" problem. It could be fine with the 8.0 oreo or 9.0 pie, I don't mind, although I saw in other forums that I should not downgrade again, even if my phone has a custom rom and the new one is custom as well, so, i think the 9.0 pie could be good, but the oreo 8.0 is fine as well.
A guy in another forum could recover his IMEI with a somehow, interesting, process.
I will try to translate it since the original is in spanish:
┐
I experimented with several ROMs, and I tested one with android 9, the name is "The XPerience Project", but the Wi-Fi didn't work, so I decided to go back to the Stock one. I tried a multime times and days to restore my IMEI, but I failed at all. I decided to try another custom rom with android 9. I noticed that this one had the IMEI and it worked perfectly. An idead popped out of my head: a backup. In test mode, I entered in recovery mode and make a security backup of the MODEM and EFS folders in a MicroSD. Once the process finished, I instaled the stock rom agin in my device. Once it started, it had the same problem: the IMEI was 0 and had no signal. I installed the recovery TWRP again and made a restoration of the backup thet I saved in the microSD. The MODEM folder could not be restored (it showed an error), but the EFS was restored. I started the device once more and it automatically foun the signal and the IMEI number was re-established. My Moto Z Play is DualSim, version XT1635-02. I hope that I could help with my solution. Cheers!
└
My Moto version is the same: XT1635-02
Has anyone recovered their IMEI?
If someone could tell me what should I do, I would be very thankful.
Cheers! :highfive::highfive::highfive:
