Accidentally Wiped Network. Null IMEI. Uknown Baseband.

Well if you press *#9090#, DO NOT choose option 1 as it will immediately wipe your IMEI and All related network information.
I may have to send my phone out for repair unless anyone knows of a cheap/inexpensive way to fix this problem. I know of a program called Chimera, but it charges €59.90 for the ability.
So currently I have no Network, no IMEI, unknown baseband version and to top it off, my phone reboots after 2 minutes. I've tried Odin'ing back to stock but it didn't work probably because that info I erased is stored elsewhere...
Any ideas?

I wanna say i flashed a stock modem and everything imei and all came back. Its fixable just gotta find the right solution but if warranty fix it then i don't blame you .

today if acted very silly, I read this thread and I dont know for what reason did just what he said I should not do and now I have my note 4 in an infinite loop that doesnt allow to use, I already install the current modem device and still the problem persists. The another problem that I have is that Samsung will hardly support me because I didnt have the bill and I'm in a different country in which the note was sold.

thats happens to my phone, restart every 2 minutes i choose the first option on 9090, cim tryingto flash with odin, but i cant find the right files for this model, can someone help me please to find the rom stock SMN910A????

I know that you are not going to want to hear this but I know someone who can repair it via the Internet. You will need a computer with a USB cable to run to the cell phone.. Email me back if you have any questions [email protected]

ZE551ML Bootloader Keeps Rebooting

As the title says, I installed the ASUS Official Unlock tool (and didn't really read it, as you should) and it attempted a boot unlock without SU. The funny thing is, it did exactly what it said it would do and rebooted into the Bootloader. The Bootloader said (and still does) it was a success and that the phone will reboot in 5 seconds. Which is fine, except it's doing that every single time I enter the Bootloader. I can't get it to stop doing that so I can actually do the root and re-do the unlock. The phone still functions perfectly fine otherwise.. any advice? (Yes, I can get it into recovery mode) Hopefully that didn't ban me from OTA.
EDIT: It also turned my boot screen white, and I also tried to use the sideloader, but I already have the latest ASUS firmware so that didn't help. However, in my loader I noticed some weird stuff showing about a MOD_SDUPDATE.ZIP not being found.. I don't know what's that about. It was doing that before I tried to use the sideloader.

dunno what exactly happened, but you can do " Using Stock.zip from ASUS site:" from here, that should fix basically everything: http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/guide-to-apply-ota-bootloop-rooted-zf2-t3127835
P.S.: your data won't be lost, however your app ache will be cleared, meaning you'll be logged out everywhere. So if you have some game and no account, that game state will be lost.

So I tried that, first with the ROM that's installed on the phone the .97 version. Then with the original version. It appears to actually install the .97 version, but that does absolutely nothing for the phone and if I try an older version it just tells me it can't flash an older version. Should flashing the same version over-top have taken care of the problem? Doesn't look like it did anything. The boot loader is probably unlocked, but I can't keep it in ADB mode long enough to do anything useful and you can't sideload a recovery to my knowledge.
EDIT: I named the file wrong in my tiredness. I did it again and loaded in recovery...
EDIT2: That did not work.

You're in a lot of company... There's a couple of threads about this with ASUS reps also saying the same thing....

I don't actually know what you mean by that? With the ASUS unlocking tool causing it to reboot in the bootloader improperly or the booting of the file from Recovery?
The phone isn't actually "broken" but now... I can't do anything to it without the use of ADB.. Which blows.
EDIT: Also, can you point me to these threads?

Thanks a lot, I figured I could dig some information out of the thread. My search just didn't turn it up. Looks like a lot more people are having this issue than I figured.

Return to stock issue - "bootloader is already unlocked"

Hi Everyone,
I'm trying to re-lock my bootloader but the OEM Unlock toggle is stuck to the left position whilst displaying the message "Bootloader is already unlocked".
If I try to switch the toggle to the right position, the device will factory reset and then when it powers back up, the toggle is in the left position again.
Is this a result of knox being tripped?
In DL mode it displays both FRP and OEM lock as OFF.
Thanks for the help!

Just ignore it, it causes no problems and others have had the same problem since unlocking theirs

Yeah I know that it's not technically an issue but I want to sell the phone and would like to lock the bootloader before doing so.
Is there no way to re-lock it?
If not... would it stop the phone from passing safetynet/google pay checks?
Thanks
EDIT: I've just tested and google pay won't work on it in this state.

You tripped KNOX, many things won't work on it again anyway

I'm quite aware of that. What i'm specifically trying to ascertaine is whether or not the bootloader is re-lockable.
If need be I'll just install magisk on stock and put the info in the eBay listing.
Thanks for the assistance anways!

As I said, other members have already posted about the same problem, I have not seen a solution yet, although you could read through a few of those threads and see if they were updated

Any news on this? I want to relock too! With it unlocked and stock os. I can't use Google pay or citrix workspace etc!

Hi, is there new news about this problem? the same happens to me. I have the bootloader unlocked with the button to the left, so I can't block it in a rom stock. This causes Google Play to say that the device is not certified and some applications are not installed. Can anybody help me?

So, the bootloader is unlocked, have you guys tried flashing the Odin files with a newer revision of the bootloader?

Thanks for your answer! I have tried to update it, to make a downgrade, to wait 7 days ... and nothing, everything remains the same. The bootloader is binary 6, and the only move I have been able to do with odin is update and donwgrade in the July and August updates. Maybe if Samsung updates the bootloader to binary 7, it will be solved, it is honestly the only thing left for me to try.

what firmware version are you on currently? if your bootloader is revision 5, flash a rev 6 and see what happens

I am in the last firmware
I have the rev6, I can only flash the firmware of July and August

Please Help: No Signal / "service state: out of service" [With Screenshots]

I would be so grateful if someone more knowledgeable than I helps me troubleshoot this issue.
I bought a used Nexus 5x yesterday, everything worked fine and it was all stock, i checked my sim card and it worked on the phone.
I took it home unlocked the phone and installed a custom ROM, somehow In the process I seem to have done something that has made it so the phone cannot connect to my mobile network. It seems to be able to see the mobile network [ imgur.com/IdpFg0O ] but not connect [ imgur.com/5edM5G6 ]. The phones APN setting [ imgur.com/5J1Ixoy ] appear to match the information provided on various websites.
The SIM status page [ imgur.com/WGWnqSM ] might give some indication as to what the problem is. It lists the network as "unknown" and the service state as "out of service" and mobile network state as "disconnected."
What I have already tried:
Restarted the phone

Reflashed the same custom ROM
Reflashed another custom ROM
Reflashed the Stock ROM
Could I have maybe somehow screwed up the /EFS partition when I was wiping or installing the new ROM?
I dont really know what else to do to troubleshoot or try to fix the problem. I would be sooo sooo grateful if anyone more knowledgeable than I am could help me troubleshoot this issue, there doesn't seem to be much information out there about this problem. I really don't want to have bricked my phone the day after I bought it, so please, if you can offer any assistance helping me understand and diagnose the problem, I would be so grateful!

All rooms require a specific version of radio.img make sure you have the right one otherwise you'll have problems like that check out in the xda thread of your rom what version it requires and then download the factory image and flash the radio.img with fastboot

Hi kastik4,
Thanks for the reply, I appreciate you taking the time to lend a little help.
So if I understand you correctly what you are saying is that each specific ROM has its own radio.img and that a mismatch could potentially be causing my problem?
If so, I'm not sure if this is the problem as one of the troubleshootings steps i've taken is trying to go back to the stock factory ROM following Googles instructions and (I believe) flashing the stock radio.img. However, it is entirely possible that I did something incorrectly in this process so I think I will try to redo the process and make sure I got everything right tomorrow.
Any other ideas as to what could be the issue?

@local5x: you wrote, that you reflashed stock ROM. If you did it via flashall.bat (means you lost /data and root) and error persists, probably your hardware is gone.
Messed efs you can detect easily: IMEI shown in settings and on your contract, must be identical.
Generally is the newest radio-image fine. @kastik4's advice is mostly overdressed.

Hey, did you solve your issue or you still need some help?

No, I did not solve the problem. I got a cheap phone in the meantime, but haven't been able to figure anything out with the 5x. Maybe it is a hardware issue, IDK, and I dont really know where else to go in terms of troubleshooting, I'm sorta in over my head here. I wish I could narrow down the problem though, even If it is just to find out that it is a hardware problem and I'm screwed at least I would have a little clarity/closure.

hello I have the same problem my phone says no service and only emergency calls, I followed some solutions nothing yet. I would like to find a solution since it does not detect the available networks

Mi 9 SE bricked after successful MIUI 11 Update

Hello everybody!
I have a problem with my Xiaomi Mi 9 SE. This is what happened:
Few days ago I updated to MIUI 11. Everything seemed to run smoothly.
2 days ago I noticed a huge battery drain during the day. I finished my day with my battery @ 10/1% with my usual daily use.
Yesterday I was using my phone normally while it was charging (watching a video on Youtube). The phone became unresponsive to everything: the touchscreen was not working, the buttons on the right were not working.
I decided to "hard-reboot" my phone. I pressed the on/off button for a few seconds.
The screen turned off.
From this point on, my phone was completely bricked. It does not turn on in any way possible: I tried also pressing the on/off button + volume up or down but nothing. Nothing happens even connecting it again to the power cord.
I tried connecting my phone to the PC via USB and this is what my PC recognized:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
But my phone still remains bricked/with its screen black.
Has anyone else experienced this problem? Do you have any suggestions on how to fix this or at least recover my data in some way?
I suspect some bug related to battery mgmt in the MIUI 11 and I personally do not suggest you to update to it right now.
Thank you very much in advance!

You're on edl mode. I've been there. Unfortunately, Xiaomi doesn't allow us to recover our phones on edl mode, which is a shame. So, there are two options:
1 - Send it to the seller and try a fix/replacement.
2 - Pay someone with edl authorization to unbrick your phone.
If you want, I'll give you the contact of the person who did that for me. But I had unlocked the bootloader and flashed several ROMS. I bricked the phone trying to restore a full backup. Your case is different and, for what you described, you may be experiencing hardware problems, so I would go for option one.

Thank you very much for your reply! I really feel disappointed because I never messed up with my phone. I always used official releases. Since I bought it in Italy and now I'm far away from my country, I would go for option 2. Do you know if it is possible at least to recover my photos? Honestly that's the most important thing for me right now and unfortunately I forgot to enable the backup (my bad!).
We can speak in private if you prefer, send me a message with the details of the person that helped you.
Thanks!

Just to update everyone on the status: my phone is still bricked. I contacted the guy suggested by elpaablo but he just suggests to re-flash my phone while I want to recover my data first. I will leave my phone in the closet for 1/2 weeks and then try again to turn it on because I read on other threads that this worked for other people.
I will update this thread later on. I want to highlight again that I did not do anything weird with my Mi 9 SE: no twrp, no custom rom, no weird flashing, nothing. I just updated successfully my phone to the global stable using the official update menu in the settings.

Use your warranty. Your phone should be replaced. As for your photos, didn't you use some kind of backup, like google photos?
