Baseband is the modem version, IMEI is the unique identifier that registers you on the network. So I doubt the phone or data will work without those. Are you rooted?
I would do a full backup, and then try a repair in pc companion then post back.
I've seen someone else with a similar issue who's had to send it back to Sony for repairs as couldn't find a fix, UK that's the worst case scenario, start with a repair.

Then try flashing rom, there's a depository thread somewhere. Doesn't really matter, but try flashing one in your region.
When you say repair didn't work, did the process complete?

I am not rooted can I flash a rom? Yes the process completed several times. When it first started doing it I would get lucky and it would reboot correctly and I could use it until i booted it off and now I have not got it to do it once.

You don't need to be rooted to flash stock ROM and don't need to unlock bootloader either. I would suggest flashing 532 first and seeing how it is.

[Q] cannot register mobile network...

HI guys. My cousin was running miniCM10 on his x10 mini. all went fine. but from yesterday it had issue with GSM calling. ( cannot able to speak or hear and the call disconnects in 25 seconds automatically. so he asked me to put on some stable GB roms. i installed GingerDX GB rom and had the same exact CALL issue. so i decided to use SEUS and revert back to stock 2.1. i installed stock 2.1, but now my mobile network is not connecting. both automatically and manually. it can see all the available networks, but when i try to connect my network , it says " Your SIM does not allow connection with this network"
any ideas guys ?

You tried relocking your bootloader, you must have unlocked it previously to install MiniCM10. Try relocking it mate.

I can't say it'll be easy without a computer but if you use Mobile-Odin and flash this. It'll install SuperSU and ClockWorkMod but I'd recommend holding off until you have a computer (its just easier on a computer)
Also, you won't magically achieve 3g speeds on your phone if you root it.. You may want to research into that a bit more before you take this plunge unnecessarily.
Ok ill wait. I had a s2 that I rooted. Do u know how I can get 3g speeds. I have researched this and havnt found ne thing

Your phone supports 3g right out of the box.. Maybe your carrier has restricted your service to 2g or you don't have coverage in your area.
No, you can`t root your phone from the phone afaik and Mobile Odin needs root before you can use it

Yes, you can, read my reply
Of course the device needs to be rooted for Mobile Odin to work. Quote from the dev:
"Your device must be rooted to be able to use Mobile ODIN"
Otherwise it would mean that ANY app can simply overwrite or rewrite your firmware which in itself would be a major security risk.

That's exactly the way I did it.
-Rooted with exynos abuse 1.40 (phone was on 4.1.1)
-installed mobile odin for flashing recovery and kernel
After that I could do everything out of CWM.
So my S3 never saw a pc

Does any one have a link to exynos? And I'm running stock 4.0.4 right now. Also I know unit really supposed to ask and is your own preference but I'm just curious what are the more popular stable roms out there. I like themes a lot lol. But I want one that has decent battery stats and can boost my Internet speed. I know that's possible bc a guy at a phone store had his rooted and on cincinnati bell and he had a lot my options than me.

Does the dump include the modem? We desperately needed the modem to be ported to the international versions (I-9200 and I-9205). HSPA+ signals are very inconsistent and I believe porting the modem from the AT&T version will help us a lot.

You would ideally need a new stock Rom which includes the modem.

I dont really mind though.......I have an occasional wifi drop out on 290 but nothing else serious. Also with my ZU I have held back on root/unlocking bootloader just because............it kinda does everything well without root! I remember a video by Adrian that eventually android would get to such a stage that root wouldn't be needed anymore (apart from customization). Maybe we are seeing the first step of that with sonys firmware? Obviously touchwiz, sense etc are different but Sony is pretty close to stock.

From the looks of this, you just followed instructions from this thread here now, even though this appears to have worked, I would not suggest going through with actually flashing anything or making backups.
The reason is partitions are different across some of the G3 devices and it would not be a smart idea to risk flashing something to a wrong partition, especially since there are 16 and 32 gb models.
With that, it looks like there is a bypass on the VZW model which is a good sign for future use.

Yes we can. This is no different than flashing a custom ROM using safestrap on a Samsung product. I don't think you guys realize how big this is. While its not a boot loader unlock, we will be able to flash custom Roms based on factory ROM.
Hoping we get Aosp soon.
