Okay story so far, got Zuk Z2 from BG China to replace Mi5 that had a tumble
After a couple of weeks I decided to flash Custom Rom (LinageOS *UNOFFICIAL), seemed fine then I lost Network totally on both SIMS.... Zero bars! I've tried all sorts of ROMS and flashes of Baseband firmwares but to no avail. Now I think I've confused myself.
So if anyone has any advice before I cast this device from a high roof it would be most appreciated.
Thank you :good:
You flashed already different basebands via fastboot, erased modem after that?
Tried flash stock ZUI via qfil?
After all no network? IMEI's are there?

When it first gave up network I checked IMEI and it seemed to have duplicated them for both sim but after I QFIL back to ZUI 2.5 they returned perfectly... I've gone through the whole erase modemst process but still FUBAR....
Even stripped the device down to bits and checked the internal connections.
He strange part is I get the emergency only msg on sim so guessing the network is recognised but the signal is -90 dBm at best, getting to as bad as -130 dBm.
Even considering writing the IMEI from old bust Mi5 to handset to see if this would help...

Yeah I guess every other android and iOS device I've either rooted or jail broke was pure luck and the huge amount of posts on many sites including Lenovo regarding this baseband problem are all very similar 'lab rat' experiments.
Thanks for the constructive advice and answering my plea, great to know that xda developers are attracting helpful and intelligent like minded users and owners....

Same problem here. Anybody please share the QCN backup (or valid link to download this) to try repair QCN and IMEIS ?

I had a dabble with QCN and managed to replace corrupt IMEI's but still didn't help. Can't be sure the BASEBAND was correct though.. I'm yet to try a full FACTORY DEFAULT configuration as suggested but will be this week.
Been suggested the IMEI may be blocked for some reason but seems unrealistic as it was working prior to FLASH.

Hi there!
I recently discovered that my phone has totally no service after about 2 weeks flashing with V20F rom so I flashed back to Hong Kong stock gb rom. However, the phone cannot detect the sim card thus still no service and when I check the IMEI with *#06#, only a blank box appeared. I checked the efs folder and it was blank. As my phone was unrooted, I sent it to the service center. Just now, they called me and said that they my phone is rooted and the problem cannot be fixed (did they really try to fix it??!!) and needed to change the m/b which costs HKD2000!!!
My question is do I really need to pay for the m/b or are there any cheaper ways to recover the IMEI??? I have searched on the web but there seems to be no such tutorial for P930 or P936.
Oh and by the way, I am not sure if I have a backup of the efs folder as I once installed CWR.
Thank you for your help!

I had the same issue well the window saying 'No network or wrong IMEI' so I too will wait to see any responses and I only put those numbers in because I heard that it may open up the internet speed or stop the drop of wifi signal, just not sure of any of that lol

I don't think yours is the same issue of mine as I don't have any error message. The IMEI is just literally blank. I really hope someone can help me. Anyway, thanks for your response!

Hi! No luck! Unfortunately, the above solution requires some sort of chip which this P936 hasn't. I will give the phone to a local electronic store to see if they have any clues. Thanks anyway!

Hello to everyone, I was wondering if anyone can help with this. I have a Galaxy Note 2 branded by an Italian company (3hg Italia). It recently received its update to Android 4.3 (update N7100XXUEML2). It was the official update OTA, the phone is not rooted and it had the stock ROM on it. The update somehow messed up my IMEI making it appear as the generic 0049 forcing me on "Emergency calls only" mode. I already tried flashing the same ROM with Odin and repeating the update with KIES, but while the updates always results successful the IMEI remains 0049. I never made a backup of the EFS folder for this phone since I haven't rooted it or flashed any different ROM on it yet. There is any chance that the phone made an automatic backup? I live in the States right now and Samsung tells me I need to ship it back to Italy to have it fixed, but that costs a lot and would take forever, and I would much prefer try to solve the problem locally. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, if not for any fix that I can try myself, at least some place on the West Coast that can fix the problem!
Thank you!
Lorenzo
Oh I forgot to add that because of Hardware problems I recently sent my phone to Samsung and they replaced the motherboard, which fixed the problem I was having. I don't know if that could be related!

I'm afraid that fix works just if you have your actual IMEI, I instead have the generic IMEI that starts with 0049. But I will check it out! Thanks!

Then you should simply flash another modem from here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2044937 ... flash a custom recovery first.

So I found someone nice enough to give me a hand with this situation, but still no luck yet! Here what they say:
At first glance, the EFS data on the phone was corrupt. I re-generated
that data and restored it to the phone without success.
The GSM radio itself is operational, and the firmware for it is
installed and functional. diagnostic data flows to the towers and back
to the phone but it's not reading the IMEI from the copy of
nv_data.bin contained within EFS. I've re-generated and installed
those files as well, again with no luck.
I rolled the device back to it's original factory firmware and radio
baseband, then ran through the update for the radio baseband, which
also regenerates the contents of EFS, and still no luck.
Given the situation, anyone have other suggestions?

Hi there my genius friends,
My issue started with sds - sudden death syndrome which i tried everything for but to no avail, i failed. i went through many threads but still nothing resolved it.
Knowing full well that my GT-N7100 was not covered by EU warranty, i spoke to Samsung and gave my IMEI number and they said it was ok ( because they could not find out where my warranty was from at that time). I sent it and a week and a bit later i got it back. They did not fully fix it and said that my warranty did not cover it as it was bought from outside EU. I brought it through Ebay from a UK Seller but the Seller brought it from UAE. Samsung left me in a slighty better possible as i could flash and go past where i was before. Once i flashed a stock rom i ended up with a fake IMEI and network not registered.
Now by chance i have some very old efs backup on my laptops. I am a noob at this sort of thing. How do i restore using these backups on my laptop. I have tried different kernals and modems. i have tried apps that have been mentioned in this forums. i have literally tried everything. variety of different roms, custom and stock. Everything. I have been on it for nearly two weeks scouring the internet and applying all sorts. nothing.
I am now thinking do i need to flash a rom from UAE? I live in London. the phone is originally from UAE.
Everything about efs is always about back up then restore. I already have a back up, but how do i restore.
I need a dummies guide. any links and roms to download would be much appreciated. Please help me.....:crying::crying:
Many thanks in advance.

i did the result did not change , if i flash custom rom can i fix network eg pixel experience rom ?
How long was it working on Eu rom before it gave you a problem? Maybe you temporarily sim unlocked the phone for 30 days and that ran out?
OnePlus says you must go through tmobile to get it unlocked. Tmobile does need it on their network for a day or so to be able to unlock it. (They tried to do mine manually but there was no data for my phone and there is an exchange that takes place on their server so it has to be online).
Looks like the efs may be somewhat corrupt. Hope you backed up modemst1/modemst2 partitions like the conversion thread suggested you do. You'll want to flash these both back on and then problems should be resolved. You cannot use someone else's partitions, has to be yours.
MSM'ing will not help this situation. Need to unlock permanently using t-mobile's unlock in original ROM after you've restored those partitions. It blows an efuse when it does this, no custom rom can be used as a workaround.
I also had the same problem on OP9. It happened after playing with modemst partition.

unfortunately i tried that too. this problem happened because i deleted modemst1 and modemst2 file in eu rom. I guess the tmo unlock application cannot read the phone's information so the unlock is refusing to bind.
