Baseband Unkown? - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I got my new Vibrant, since my other bricked.
Anyway, I decided not to root or anything, and officially update to froyo using Kies mini. It worked, but I have no reception at all, and when I go to Mobile networks, it asks to "Insert a SIM card". Also under Baseband version it's unknown WTF!
Model number:
SGT-T959
Firmware version:
2.2
Baseband version:
Unknown
Build number:
FROYO.UVKA6
It's not my SIM because it works on my blackberry. I have some bad luck...

give it 10 minutes on that baseband thing

It's been two hours.
I suppose the phone would at least recognize that there is a SIM card in there, but it does not even do that. In settings under Status everything is Unknown.
Mobile network state is Disconnected and Service State is Out of service...

Try reflashing back to stock and then re-down load the 2.2

Nah, don't want to risk getting another brick. Tmobile is sending a new one with express shipping paid on their part. The phone, I just got it today, and it feels cheap, if you shake it, you can literally feel the vibration.
Thanks though.

I never used my X10 as phone yet (toy for my wife to play games on) I needed droidwall and thus gingerbread.
Flashing I do without SIM because I like to be available, I think this caused me the problem described above.
I just managed (1 minute ago) to get it working while I was posting a help topic
Reboot into Xrecovery and fix permissions with SIM card in the phone and reboot, this got my SIM working (and I hope it lasts )
Lasting was short, changed [A] into [Q]
I had a FC during a call and lost service again
Who can help me figuring this out
SIM works fine in HTC, in X10 added a piece of paper in case contact is bad
weird problem try flashing ur ROM again with sim inside xperia.
I kept trying pretty much everything and decided to hop to t-mobile to get a new SIM
And voila it works, I can reboot, take battery out etc and everytime it boots we get signal
All your base are belong to xda
Where did you ever hear to flash without SIM card? SIM lock has nothing to do with flashing firmware/roms.
Where do you read that statement?
No issues with SIM lock or whatsoever.
I just kept my sim in my HTC since my xperia was just a "toy" untill GB was released, now it became a phone (with droidwall )
The issue in the end is/was that the xperia has troubles reading an "old SIM" (showing signs of usage/little scratches) while the HTC had no problem.
To find a problem you need to check all possibilities which were stated even the most unlikely
Try to flash your baseband again.
Hope it will help.

Won't work with virgin mobile UK!?! HELP!

Hey,
My Samsung galaxy s2 will not receive or send any calls or texts whilst i have my contract virgin mobile UK sim in, the mobile internet still works fine though. I can use the phone with a 3 sim in even though it was locked to Vodafone when i got it, It's not a problem with the sim either, i can put in in other phones and it will work just fine.
I've tried flashing many different kernals and firmware in the hope to fix this problem but none have worked.
Some of my device info is here if its needed:
Model number: GT-I9100
Android version: 4.0.4
Baseband version: I9100MUGKG2
Kernal version: 3.0.15-I9100XWLPT-CL941023
Build number: IMM76D.XWLPT
Thanks for any feed back!
UPDATE: Whenever i enter the call settings on the device it won't let me enter call forwarding settings and additional settings, it' comes up with the message: Network or SIM card error.

no signal, no IMEI, phone says insert sim

My phone all of a sudden was on flight mode by itself one day and i tried to turn it off every possible way but it said flight mode disabled in settings and turning it on did nothing. i couldnt make calls or even recieve a signal and the bluetooth did not work but wifi was still functioning. i tried a few different things to try rectifying the situation and eventually just did a hard reset including reformatting usb storage. all this did apart from delete all my crud was fix the bluetooth but i still cannot recieve a cellular signal and my phone doesnot have imei and always says insert sim when its in. i tried a different sim in my phone and it still the same result. however i tried my sim in someone elses phone and it worked fine. i am convinced this is souley a software problem as my phone has worked in thialand and here in colombia perfectly fine untill this flight mode glitch i have reviewed other Q&A however i could not understand the soloutions at all so please if you offer a soloution write asthough a 12 year old was going to follow the instructions as i am not a software technition.

[Q] IMIE Missing

Afternoon all.
I need some help. I have been searching forums all day trying to find a solution to my problem, but I'm just getting more confused. So please, if there is someone out there that can help, I would be grateful.
Bit of background. Yesterday, my phone was working correctly and when I went to make a call later in the day I had no network. When I tried to check the network settings, it stated "Insert SIM card to access network services".
When I checked Settings>About device the Baseband version is listed at "Unknown"
I read somewhere to try *#06#, which I did and it shows IMEI/MEID "null / null"
My phone is a Galaxy S2 GT-I9100 on UK Vodafone network, the rest of the phone info is as follows:
Android version: 4.1.2
Baseband version: Unknown
Kernel Version: 3.0.31 - 462349 [email protected] - 111 #3 SMP PREEMPT Tue Nov 6 02:42:23 KST 2023
Build Number: JZO54K.I9100XXlSJ
I have already tried the following:
1. Removed battery, waited 10 minutes, rebooted - Failed.
2. Wiped data and factory reset - Failed.
3. Installed a completely new version of 4.1.2 from HERE - Failed.
4. I have also tried my SIM card in my misses GT-I9100 and it works fine, so it's a handset issue.
I am at a loss of what else to try.
Can ANYONE help me, please!!!
Thanks in anticipation.
Pete.
If you've never 'messed with' the phone (rooted it or run non-stock firmware), send it in for warranty service if your warranty is still good. Trying something that could potentially bork that warranty & end up costing you money isn't worth it, and there's a fair chance they wouldn't work anyway unless you had an EFS backup which you wouldn't have if you've never rooted your phone.

The rom you linked to is the older leaked pre-public version of Sammy JB. You should try flashing the latest final public version from here.
You need to flash another modem ... Tell me if it works or not
Or try this

I have the same problem with me & I also tried the above methods but failed every time I also changed the sim slot but failed

[HELP] IMEI unknown.

I have spent the past week looking through Google, rooting my phone, learning about Odin and EFS Professional. Everything I've done so far hasn't been much help. My friend got a free Samsung Galax S4 LTE from his other friend, but he didn't need it, so he gave it to me. Everything about it works great. Connecting to my router, adding music and videos... all except one thing, which is the IMEI number; it says Unknown, and I've ran out of ideas how to fix it. I did download some other 1.4GB file and used Odin3 to "PDA" it, but I'm not sure what that even did. I've checked YouTube for suggestions. Mostly it just says to dial some numbers (like #*06#) but when I hit dial after that, I just get a "mobile network not available". I need help from a forum that seems educated on this matter. What do I do? I imagine I'll have to install something, but I can't seem to find out which one. I would really appreciate some help. I need the IMEI number to activate my service for this phone. These are the specs:
Model #: SCH-I545
ANDRIOD VERSION: 4.4.2
BASEBAND VERSION: I545VRUFNC5
KERNAL: 3.4.0 [email protected] #1
BUILD NO: KOT49H.I545VRUFNC5
Hardware: I545.00
anyone with any luck??? I have the same problem.
