Uknown IMEI, Unknown Baseband, Doesn't accept Sim Card - HELP :(( - One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Started happen after I uninstalled MultiROM, the phone bricked and I had to RUU it. After RUU I tried all kinds of ROMS ( Viper One, CandySIX, ICE, LeeDrOid, Sky Dragon, etc... ) But most of them do not work ( boot loop ) and ones that work have unknown IMEI, unknown Baseband, and keeps searching for signal ( drains battery super quick ). I have superCID, S-OFF, Unlocked, Rooted everything. I am thinking I have corrupted of deleted my EFS partition, could someone please send me their backup so I can flash it?:crying:
Thank you so much for you help and have happy holidays,

You're probably trying to install a 3.35 rom on a 3.y firmware where y is not the same as 35.

I did try to install 3.35 firmware before installing ROM

I tried all kinds of firmwares, even the newest from HTC site 3.42 if I remember right. I tried go all the way back to 1.xx to 2.xx and then to the 3.35 and 3.37 the most used ones. All of them are fine, just unknown IMEI and baseband, sim not found.

What was your original firmware?

I don't know what my original firmware was, if you mean the firmware when I bought it. If you mean the firmware before I ran into these problems, then it was 3.41 I think the newest from the HTC website at that time.

I meant the one before the problems. But 3.41 isn't the complete version it should be something like 3.41.xxx.yy. The part with xxx is the important part.
I think you might have flashed a GSM RUU on a CDMA device. The partition layouts of those two versions differ and flashing GSM on CDMA (or vice versa) may lead to unrecoverable damages.
3.35.xxx.yy is only available for GSM and the only US firmware with 3.41.xxx.yy I know is 3.41.651.yy (Sprint - CDMA).

ouch, then what should I do now? I didn't know there were two RUU versions, I might have done the exact thing you said. Is there no way to repair it except for hardware repair?

If you're lucky you can recover your phone by flashing the latest 651/Sprint RUU. But I can't guarantee for anything.

Help needed determining RUU for M8

Hello guys, I need a asap help and will be very thankful for guidance.
I recently bought a used HTC one M8 Gold 32GB, it is in pristine condition, just weeks used, but when I came home and did a reset I realized that it was a rooted phone. But then I discovered that there were some apps like Sprint Worldwide and there were many instances where I found Sprint written, (I have no SIM installed and neither do we have Sprint in our country). So I ended up assuming that it was rooted by the original user solely to unlock the device? I am currently in 4.4.2 and unable to update as it keeps stucking on checking screen. Now I want to revert the device to its original condition and need help doing that. I heard that it can be done by installing RUU so I went to:
htc . com / us / support/rom-downloads
and downloaded: 4.25.651.18 (assuming it is a Sprint)
and then placed it in the sdcard but after HBOOT takes some loading time, it just says invalid image. I have also tried renaming it with no hope.
the bootloader is Locked/ M8_WHL PVT SHIP S-OFF.

First you need to post the results of fastboot getvar all. REMOVE your serial and IMEI numbers from the pasted info before posting. We need to see hopefully the firmware that is currently on the device.
If it is Sprint and you have downloaded the correct RUU file, you do NOT put it on the SD card, you leave it on your Windows PC, attach the device to the PC with USB cable and run the RUU as administrator in Windows. Before that, download HTC Sync Manager and let it install, then delete it. It will leave behind the HTC drivers which you need.

It's definitely Sprint but the firmware is ancient. Run the RUU file and hopefully it will go thru. If not, we'll have to find a way to update your firmware one at a time, but as you are S-OFF it will be easy enough as long as we can find the firmwares.
Sprint RUU can be found Here, this is the latest Lollipop version.
Get your phone into fastboot mode and simply run the RUU .exe file while your phone is plugged into the computer via USB.

Sprint is CDMA. No doubt about it. The CDMA version M8 supports CDMA, GSM and HSPA, but not as many HSPA bands as the "pure" GSM M8 (basically any version except Sprint and Verizon).
What bands does your carrier use for 3G (HSPA)? I'm guessing that your carrier uses bands not supported by the Sprint version. In which case, you are out of luck. The Sprint (or Verizon) version is not recommended for anyone outside the US, and not on the specific (Sprint or Verizon) carrier.
You can't flash RUU, radio, or firmware from other versions to Sprint (even with s-off). As mentioned, the flash will either fail or brick the phone.

I have changed my CID and MID. And btw can any one of you tell why the International version + Developer/Unlocked are still on 5.0.1 unlike the (my) Sprint version's 5.0.2 ...? Due to this issue, currently I am unable to flash any other lower (but international for 3G support) version of RUU exe regardless of me being on compatible CID/MID.

Never ever install an intl version/dev edition to your sprint device. It may brick it.
Where is your region currently ? Which country ?

I guess, it will not brick because I have changed my CID and MID according to the RUU version. Correct me if I am wrong?

Wifi won't turn on after latest updates

The latest HTC updates arrived this morning (Connect, Dot View, Lock Screen, Mail, MirrorLink), and my phone prompted me to restart to update the lock screen. I did, and now my wifi won't turn on.
I've tried restarting and turning on/off airplane mode, to no avail.
(Stock HTC One M8 running Android 6.0, Sense 7.0, software 6.12.111.4)
Any ideas, and/or is anyone else having this problem?
Edit: I tried Bluetooth in the meantime, and it's turning on but won't find devices/connect to existing ones, so it looks like that's shot too.

Yeah, mobile data/calls work fine.
I was on to HTC Support earlier on and they suggested doing a hard reset, which I just did, and no luck.
It did say "Failed to load driver", so I'm wondering if I just got a bad driver in the update... Is there a way to check/fix it?

If there is an RUU for 6.12.111.4, that is probably your best bet at this point.

This is the bit where I admit my ignorance of what an RUU is.
I followed the instructions here to load a nandroid backup of 6.12.111.4, and it didn't fix the issue. Is this different to an RUU?
Edit: I did some internet hunting and found that RUUs for my SKU only go up as far as 4.19.111.2. Is it possible to use that RUU to install an older firmware, then search for OTAs on the phone and re-upgrade that way?

A stock nandroid is just the system and boot partitions, where an RUU is a full re-write of all partitions. That's the main difference.
But restoring the stock nandroid was not a bad idea, to at least try. Of course, since it didn't fix the issue we'll have to keep looking for a fix.

You can't "downgrade" by RUU (run an older RUU) unless you have s-off.
Now, if you restored a 6.12.111.4 nandroid didn't fix the issue, and no corresponding RUU is available (did you do an XDA search, not just around the web via Google? - sometimes folks post the RUUs direct to this forum) that leaves us in a tough spot; and you may well have to resort to s-off ($25 by sunshine app).
Have you found a fix yet?
Im having the exact same issue, i've searched everywhere and cannot find a fix have you found one yet?
also having this issue, can't find a suitable RUU for S-ON.
wouldn't it be possible to do a 4.something stock nandroid restore and then use a RUU?

I'm not clear what you are suggesting: RUU for your version, but older version 4.xx; or another versions (CID) RUU.
Either way, you can't do those with s-on.

ok i solved it for my case. the problem i had was an outdated firmware, as mentioned here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/wi-fi-wont-flashing-custom-rom-t3349613
so basically what i did was flashing the latest firmware i could find (4.19) an then installing a custom rom. i guess after flashing the firmware one could also just restore a nandroid backup

So you didn't have the same issue as the OP of this thread. Theirs was a completely different issue: official OTA caused WiFi broken vs. your case of a custom ROM with outdated firmware.
Its much easier to help folks when they describe the problem properly instead of saying "I have the same problem". Which from my experience its almost never the case where its exactly the same problem (and better to give specific details).
Next time, please provide more details in order for us to help you properly.

Hi just bought a 32gb international version HTC One M8 that was converted into GPe. Then I reverted back using RUU and this firmware (1.54.401.5-W_Splash). Now that I've flashed a S-rom. Wifi isn't working. I asked the guy what was the original CID No. but he forgotten. So the question here is how do I find the right firmware?

If "401" RUU worked before (Euro version), than another 401 (x.xx.401) RUU is what you want.

Installed CM13 himaul to Asian One M9W (HTCCN_701), couldn't find suitable RUU

Hello guys, I flashed CM13 (himaul GSM) to Chinese M9W (this is my first htc phone), and i thought it will work welll, but it didn't go well than i except. Now It doesn't recognize SIM card, IMEI number anymore. After that I realized I deleted 2 days ago TWRP backups of my M9W.
It's board number is himauhl. Same version as European M9. But with different CID, HTCCN_701.
I can't found suitable RUU to my HTC M9W with HTCCN_701 CID. I found but it was in Chinese, I couldn't understand anything so I am not sure it's cid suitable to mine. Link: http://htcui.com/8812.html
If you guys know how to find suitable rom (RUU) to this CID, I will appreciate to you guys. Thanks for reading.

I did a lot of research, and I learned all phones shipped with hima_uhl has got same motherboard (doesn't matter the region), including same Modem in SoC. So, I did S-OFF on USB with a guy who has special toolkit (he doesn't let me the see toolkit), It costs something like 10 Euro. I changed CID to HTC_M27 (Turkish CID), Installed European lollipop RUU and flashed International (hima_uhl) Modem via TWRP. Now it Works like a charm.
I hope this tutorial helps other people who have M9W and cannot able to find solution, BTW thanks for your answer

After you installed latest European RUU available with compatible CID, you need to mount all partitions and flash this file to get RIL functions working. Also after doing this you can also install European device compatible AOSP Roms.
Link: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24438995911968592
In my opinion set CID to 11111111 to bypass any soft bricks. I flashed with Turkish CID because my friend wanted to. I prefer using 11111111.

HTC One M9 on Bluegrass Cellular

Back in August, I got a HTC One M9 from Bluegrass Cellular. (The phone came with Android 5.1) I decided to root it and try a custom ROM. I downloaded a snapshot for CM13 himawl. (Since that's the variant according to Download mode) I flashed it in TWRP only to get an error about sbl1. I since found an unofficial nightly of cm12.1 himawl built on November 17, 2015. It flashed and works fine to this day, but I'd like to have newer features and better security. How would I go about doing this? I can't seem to find the correct RUU. I tried the unlocked RUU to see if it would work, but it was to no avail. I'm S-on if that helps.

I'm pretty sure that in order to use a Marshmallow-based ROM (ie, CM 13), you need the Marshmallow firmware first. I imagine the same will be true for Nougat ROMs....though I don't think we've got anything beyond stock just yet.
I imagine that if you were able to achieve S-OFF on your phone, you could apply the appropriate RUU to get you up to the latest available firmware for your phone. To be clear, I don't know what that is (I'm not familiar with the himawl models) - but it should be possible.

I imagine that if you were able to achieve S-OFF on your phone, you could apply the appropriate RUU to get you up to the latest available firmware for your phone. To be clear, I don't know what that is (I'm not familiar with the himawl models) - but it should be possible.

I believe that's what's going on here. I'm just trying to see if there are any alternatives or RUU's known to work with my s-on phone before I resort to the $25 investment of Sunshine.

Just for the fact you get an extra chance to unbrick if it goes wrong is worth the $25. IMO S-OFF is a necessity for htc phones.

I tried the test in the Sunshine app, but it said to flash stock or near stock rom. I mistakenly didn't backup my stock ROM before flashing cm12.1. Anyone know a ROM I could flash to s off?

You're on Android 5, right? Android Revolution HD 14, which is built off of stock Android 5.1.0, should do the trick.
Very important sidenote: Don't change the MID/CID or the firmware of this device! It's a CDMA one and therefore not compatible with the GSM firmwares like the dev edition or the WWE one. Otherwise you'll end up with a fancy new paperweight. Just stay with the SKU (the three numbers between the second and the third dot in the firmware version) it is currently using since not even the different CDMA firmwares/devices are compatible with each other.

In my case, the SKU is 605. Is there a newer 605 I can update to access Marshmallow? I recall when I was stock, I tried to update to MM through OTA in settings, but apparently my carrier never approved the update. 5.1 appeared to be the "latest."
605 is the verizon-branded firmware. There definitely is an android m update for your phone.

It's Verizon WWE. That's not the same as sku 401 (WWE).
Either you try that one or you download the exe from the HTC US website.
I can't say for sure whether it'll work. According to the sku the RUU should be flashable. You'll need to try by yourself. An alternative would be contacting llabtoofer's RUU service. However that one isn't for free. (Either search for it via google or use the direct link in my google sheet if you want to use that service.)

Mobile data not available (disconnected)

Hi. I have a M9 with model id 0PJA100. I bought it unlocked and s-off. One day, I flashed this rom named ICE with android nougat. After that, I cannot use my mobile data. I installed back stock rom to this phone and it is still the same. I can answer call and sms but I cannot get any mobile data. Today, I flashed Viper M9 v6 (nougat) and during the setup, I got H+ signal only for a few second and then it dissapeared. I dont really understand the problem and managed to install a lot of rom before. If anyone have any idea that can possibly make this device working, please reply to this thread. I hate to use my 5s as daily driver.

Are you sure? I know that this was the case when you tried to use an android M rom with an android L firmware. However, I haven't heard of such cases after people flashed an android N rom on an android M firmware. Sometimes newer HTC stock roms/stock-based custom roms are booting fine on older firmware versions (but that doesn't mean that there won't be any other issues due to the mismatch of the rom base and the current firmware).

Yes i just know that my phone is an international version. Before this i thought it was verizon m9. Verizon did not release any nougat based firmware. But i think there is international version of nougat available
For the marshmallow to nougat question, i encountered some issues with the other rom. Some roms doesnt boot up and some others stuck on setup wizard since wifi cannot be enable.
So do u think i need to flash international version of nougat on my phone? Will it fix this mobile network problem.

If you already flashed a Verizon firmware then you definetely need to flash a GSM RUU and should hope that your phone didn't get damaged unrecoverably. GSM devices and CDMA firmware (or vice versa) aren't compatible with each other.
Did you change your CID or your MID somewhen in the past? If not then please boot to download mode and tell us what version is stated behind "OS". If you did then I hope you wrote down your original MID and CID. At the moment I'd recommend you to flash whatever RUU belongs to your original firmware version since the issues you describe shouldn't happen if you use the correct stock rom.
After all reception problems on the stock rom got solved we can think about updating your phone to android 7 but at the moment we should only make one step at a time.

My phone has SuperCID. Based on download mode, the OS- 3.37.605.13. Model ID 0PJA100 as stated before. I think the OS version is vzw not wwe since i flashed the vzw before. Actually, I bricked this device after i had my "mobile data disconnected" problem and asked somebody to help me fix it, and he flashed that firmware version (it is my fault since i thought this phone is verizon m9).
So, should I fully flash the wwe 3.35 firmware? Or what?
That's odd. I would have expected the current MID to be 0PJA30000. Did the MID get changed back to its original state after you flashed the Verizon RUU? Normally the M9 shouldn't accept a RUU if the MID doesn't match. Even the SCID won't change this fact, anymore, as it did on older HTC phones. Or are you talking about the original MID of the phone that is stated on the backside of the phone? I assume the answer to this question is yes since the MID you're talking about is two zeros too short for being a digital MID. Only the engraving on the backside of the phone uses this short version of MIDs.
Revert the SCID to one of the CIDs that belong to SKU 401 (but don't choose the demo unit CID HTC__002), if needed revert the MID to the one that belongs to this SKU and then flash the 3.35.401.12 RUU. Instructions can be found in the FAQ section of the ReadMe thread (the stickied one in the Q&A section and the General section).
After you flashed the GSM RUU your phone should be working normally, again, if the Verizon RUU didn't damage it unrecoverably. In addition, you should be able to install two OTAs (the latter is the update for Android 7) via the software update function of the phone.

Oh yes the MID changed to 0PJA30000, sorry for my last reply, that one i referred to the back engraving of m9. Im gonna change the CID and flash the firmware version u talked about. I will give you an update once I done it.

I dont get any mobile network, even worse than before. I flashed 3.35.401.12 like u told so. Do i need to flash it manually by extracting the folder and flash all the img inside it independently? If u have any suggestion let me know.
UPDATE: Actually i dont think the problem is with verizon firmware since I had the problem after I flashed ICE nougat rom (I came from SDreamTeam Sense8 rom). After that I bricked the device and told other person to help me flash vzw firmware because I thought it was verizon m9. This problem is very weird and i dont know how to relate the ICE rom with my current problem. OP of ICE rom said the rom not compatible with verizon m9 but since this phone is not verizon m9, i dont think there should be a problem right?
The RUU needs to get flashed via the SD card method that is described in the ReadMe thread.
As written there and in some of my posts in this thread, GSM devices and CDMA firmware (or vice versa) aren't compatible with each other due to the different partition layouts. Therefore, cross-flashing can lead to unrecoverable damages.
I can't tell you what happened while you've been using ICE and therefore I can't tell you whether your phone had been in a recoverable state at that time. However, chances are high that flashing a Verizon RUU instead of the correct GSM RUU was the nail in the coffin of your phone. Sorry, that I don't have better news.
Edit: Oh, and please remove the quote from your last post. It's not necessary to quote me every time you post here.

Exactly that, it's not worth the risk seeing as many people have reported that their phone won't boot after mismatching roms to base firmware. Updating to a nougat custom rom to a marshmallow firmware would be bad as the api's are completely different and would explain the non booting situation.
So, until someone can confirm that flashing a nougat custom rom over a marshmallow base is 100% safe I'm going to swing with "yes I'm sure".

Re-read what I posted. I never said that it would be "100% safe" *. Of course there'll be problems due to the mismatch. I was only asking whether there have been reports about bootloops. (Btw, Android n and Android m don't differ as much as Android m and Android l did.) And according to this post the brick didn't happen directly after flashing the nougat rom.
However, I searched through the dev section yesterday and according to the Viper thread and the 4.x TWRP Backup thread people have been able to boot nougat roms on Android m. A lot of them faced problems. E.g. I have read about many user who used the old firmware and faced overheating and/or battery drain problems in the backup thread. They all needed to root their rom for getting rid of the problems. (Altough I personally can't explain why SuperSU should be able to fix those problems...) It seems like users with the newer firmware on the other hand don't necessarily have to face these issues. Take my phone as an example. It's running just fine without any heat and/or battery problems.
* Although I think that the usage of "safe" might imply that flashing a rom might damage your phone and that's not the case. The worst things that can happen are a bootloop or if the rom is booting fine some lags/bugs. Only flashing an incompatible firmware (via a RUU or a firmware pack) leads to damages.
Edit: Don't know how I could forget that but the answer to the OP's original problem with the reception on ICE is probably explained with Q1 of the FAQ section.

Thanks for the reply. Again sorry for my previous quote just now. Yes i read that q&a section and i did not have any of the problem except no mobile internet data. I can receive and make a phone call. Only mobile internet data. I am from 3.35 firmware if i am not mistaken since there was no official update after I purchased the phone. But NOW, I faced the problem after flashed GSM RUU. I do it twice, through exe and sdcard method. I also changed my CID and MID as u told me to.
The thing is that we don't know your original CID and your original firmware version. Not every SKU had a 3.35.x firmware version. That's why I'm guessing what the first problem might have been. If you say that there hasn't been any update at that time you probably used one of the SKUs that didn't have a 3.35.x firmware since those are the majority of SKUs that received the Android n update at a later time. But again, I can only assume what happened.
The problems you're facing now are probably a consequence of the cross-flashing. If flashing a GSM RUU could fix them then they're unrecoverable.

So if i can find my original firmware version, i can solve this problem (if the verizon does not damage it) by flashing that version on my phone right? The only thing that I remember on my phone after i bought it is, it does not have any bloatware such as kid mode app, and when i clicked on software update, it said "please connect to XXXX to check an update" or something like that. XXXX referred to service provider in usa but i dont remember what company it was. I think there are still hope to recover this device.
I don't think that we can recover the phone even if we knew it's original firmware. That's why they're called "unrecoverable" damages.
For a GSM M9 it doesn't matter which RUU you flash (as long as it isn't a CDMA RUU). So if one GSM RUU didn't fix the situation then a different one won't be able to do so, either. And that's the reason why the ReadMe thread warns everybody not to cross-flash firmware files.
That part of my last post you're referring to was an explanation why I think that you faced problems with ICE. It has nothing to do with your current situation.
