Guys, I have to post this in hopes it will help others.
If you still have this device and had the problem where it reboots once it boots and have no imei and baseband, i solved it. finally!
I tried everything, EVERYTHING initially. i opened the device more times than i can remember. I changed the power button, gave it a chemical bath, removed the sim holder, adjusted every adjustable aspect of it but nothing. this started when i flashed some rom (cant remember which one), and it started rebooting as soon as the os loaded. not a random reboot but as soon as the os loaded, no matter what rom i flashed. thats when i tried all of the posted solutions on the power button issues of this phone. nothing worked. Then when i finally got a stock odin to work, i noticed i had baseband unknown and imei unknown and therefore no sim functions. i began researching and i did everything from flashing every available modem, to flashing all stock roms with odin and with keis, to that trick of forcing an iemi and adding some folder that may have been deleted. i even looked to order the sim holder that people recommended but i never bothered (thankfully) as many said it didnt work. I eventually was advised that my ONLY solution was to jtag it. i almost ordered devices like nspro etc, but alas, i gave up finally and just used it as a tablet with a rudimentary os (the only one that didnt reboot on me ) with abysmal battery life (3 to 4 hours on standby) until i finally left it in a drawer and forgot it for most of the year. Fast forward to yesterday. ill spare the details of why i had to, but basically i took back the challenge to get it working, believing that it was a software problem that i could solve with the help of xda's resources. and after a sleepless night and much research and trials, i finally have a fully working i717 with insane battery life (2% lost on standby overnight). so here's what i did. I used odin to flash this rom (email me for the link, i dont want to break any forum rules) and once it was done, the os began to boot but it stuck on the loading screen. this was actually good news since it wasnt rebooting! i left it for an hour just in case and eventually forced the shut down by holding power button (didnt remove the battery). then i booted into download and used odin to flash cwm recovery (latest one, search for an app to convert the img file to a md5 that odin can use). i booted into recovery and once there i downloaded the miui v5 rom in the development section of this forum, (i chose miui because initially it was the only other rom that didnt reboot, but i SUSPECT that the others should be fine now once i flashed the odin rom) and once it installed and booted, voila! cell reception and i can make and receive calls!. Everything is working perfectly now!! thank God. I left it on miui because i like it and it works as is, but i suppose the other roms like the 4.4 roms should, in theory, work now. in the link i have there is the rom AND a modem as well, i did NOT flash the modem as i didnt need to so you shouldnt have to either. Thanks for reading, and i sincerely hope that i could help someone out with this post. thanks to xda and the contributors who helped me through this ordeal!
Sincerely,
My phone rebooted 3 times while trying to read this. I wasn't sure if you were actually offering help or trying to sell us some new sports bra.
If you have some miracle files then post the link. Why make this an egg hunt? I'm sure the forum would appreciate it.

No need to be rude mate. And its not an 'egg hunt' if you read it you would see that i didnt want to break any forum rules by posting links without permission since i cant contact the owner of the site with the links. I didnt have to post anything atall and i asked for no gratitude in return but a little civility goes a long way.
I read this and thought xda became a blog site!
Just wanted to say thanks for your post cause I have been experiencing loss of my mobile signal after flashing to cm 10.1. I have been doing a ton of reading trying to solve my issue but can't seem to find a resolution.

Follow his initial post and do what he did. He flashed miui rom after he used Odin. Flash a custom recovery. Either cwm or twrp.

Hello all, I was walking my friend through rooting his phone over Google talk. He rooted all went well a few days later he wanted to Rom it. He made a mistake and flashed the international omega Rom on his US ATT samsungi747. His phone is now dead. No way to get into recovery or download mode. Just dead. Bricked. What can I do to help him? As I am partially responsible cause I was helping him. I did not know much about the Rom he was flashing.
I was reading about a possible fix with a jig but can not find a jig for.the Samsung i747.
Please any and all advice would be greatly appreciated.

A compatible jig may be your only solution if you can't get into download mode manually. A jig would force the phone into download mode, once in download mode you'd be able to flash the stock AT&T firmware through Odin.

Thanks man! I ordered him one. Hopefully it will work. He's also going to make one tomorrow.
A huge thank you to all the people that provided helpful information and friendly advice.
I was actually expecting more ridicule, but it was minimal. . I know we messed up, but I never knew you could "brick" a phone from flashing a Rom.
Anyway thanks again guys! I will keep you posted on if the jig works or not.

If you didnt know a rom could brick a phone you shouldnt be flashing period. Theres always ALWAYS bold letters that says this may brick your phone an or we are not responsible if this breaks your phone... no one with there first android should be flashing till they know android smoothly... *sigh*
Usually 90% of the time your always able to get into recovery mode. From what I've read this only happens when flashing the omega Rom. People make mistakes.
I've rooted and rom'd 100s of phones, and never not been able to get back to recovery.

I understand telling him to read. And he did so for about a week. He succesfully used odin to root his phone. A few days later he said he wanted to Rom, and asked me how to do a proper back up with titanium backup. I ran him through the backup procedure.
I mean I totally thought that if he made it through the rooting procedure that he was good to go. Rom'ing has always been to me something fairly easy, and if something went haywire, just boot to recovery.
I've had people ask for help that flashed an incomplete or corrupted download, but have always been able to at least power the phone on, or at the very least have it recongnized in adb.
I have been reading and googling about a fix, but information seems minimal on this current circumstance. So I reached out to the community for advice.

Hey guys!
I recently started using Cozmo1's coZ rom and its great so far but I'm having a few issues.
This is the link to his rom.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1337437
I would post this question the ROM page itself but it seems I cant because I'm a new member.
Anyways my problem has to do with data connectivity.
Very often, my phone simple doesn't have any reception bars and results in the ( / ) circle that indicates no reception.
The only way to fix this for me to is to toggle airplane mode on and off and after a minute or so it reenables.
The times I do have a consistent reception, after around 5 minutes of being idle, the data connection turns off completely. I thought this was
some kind of battery saving feature that automatically enables when I need to use data but the only way to get data is to toggle airplane mode on and off again.
This is giving me some serious issues as missing calls because of the ( / ) reception or extremely delayed text messages.
Also when I'm driving and need some quick directions, I can't use voice command to put in the address as this requires connectivity.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
Try wiping cache and dalvik cache in cwm. Also try fixing permissions in cwm if that doesn't work.

As for your modem question: Basically, it controls you're connectivity to data, gps and, I believe, wifi. (please correct if wrong)
There is a thread (Google search: Modem i777 xda) you can find with different modems and a nap that might help you find which is likely to be the best for your area.

So would you guys say the answer to my problem is getting a new modem?
Did flashing the coZ rom somehow install a new modem over the stock one and start causing problems?
Actually according to the rom thread ( I know, who actually reads those?), it says it comes packaged with the stock modem.

It seems to have gotten kinda worse after the new modem. I have to restart my phone to reenable data connectivity now
Back up all your important info, reboot into cwm recovery, go to mounts/ storage, wipe the /system, data, cache partitions. Go back one screen , go to advanced, wipe dalvik. Then reinstall the ROM. If it fixes it, then yer good. If not its either a hardware issue or a ROM issue.

Since, i have upgraded my galaxy S2 firmware to ICS. There have been a number of issues. I have read around about issues related to wifi and battery drain. But i am experiencing a bit more than just these ones. Whenever i access my contact list and try to make a call, the phone hangs...or rather loads for a long time till the phone call is placed. Also, when i try to type a message the keyboard doesn't show up at times. Does anyone know any fix for these problems??? I have tried hard reset and clearing the cache option already. But it didn't help . I would really really appreciate if someone could give me a solution.
Thanks guys.

Sorry, I have no solution for the problem. I got the same Problems with my I9100G since I've updatet to ICS 4.0.4
The keyboard hangs very often and sometimes the complete Phone hangs for 10 seconds and more. The only workaround I've found is a little app called "Fast reboot pro". It kills all running apps with one click (I think there are some similar task killing apps in the market) and it helps. But that's not a real solution, I know.

Hello theunderling, It was really my first Post here and I have to say very thank you for your warm welcome words. I know, everyone has a bad day from time to time. You should more try to chill, it's better for health and soul. Maybe you was very annoyed and didn't see my words about the workaround? And yes, I am interested to hear from other users the possible known problems after update to ICS. Anger makes you blind. That's not good my son.
Have a nice day.

I'm assuming you upgraded to ICS from GB. I faced the same issue when I did my upgrade. Was very waiting so long for the official ICS upgrade.
I read some place that when you are moving from one version to another, like GB to ICS, its advisable to do a factory reset, wipe data, cache and Dalvik memory. So I rooted, did the above and flashed in a custom ICS ROM and its been smooth since.

Hello ares06, it seems to be the reason for that issues. I've updated my phone directly from GB 2.3.6
There were some threads in other areas and they said the same things as you. I've ignored that and it seems that I'll have now much additional effort. Man I hate it to do all the installations of OS and all apps. Would be better to spent effort next time with reading of how to's before I start any updates.
But thanks to you for that important answer.

I'm sure you must've read about rooting. My suggestion is that you root, install this app called Titanium (it backs up all your apps in a few minutes), factory reset your phone and wipe all data and flash in a custom ROM. After installation just do a restore of all your apps from Titanium. You'll have all your apps back in a jiffy. The whole process should take you max an hour. Totally worth it if you ask me

Hi Ares05. Thats cool. But which custom rom do u suggest?
since we're talking about problems, my SGSII (SHW-M250K, olleh KT) decided that after the update to ICS 4.0.3, it would stop reading my SIM card. I'm going to try going back to Gingerbread to make sure that the USIM isn't completely screwed because its also an NFC USIM authenticator. The SHW-M250x series is probably one of the most unique of the SGS2 family, because they are only sold in Korea, Hong Kong (and Malaysia i think). And i have lost sleep so let me put this in here right now for anyone that has an SHW-M250x series:
THERE IS NO ROM SUPPORT/ROOT KERNEL SUPPORT FOR SAMSUNG GALAXY S II ORIGINATING FROM SOUTHEAST ASIA - BEST BET IS TO FIND A GT-I9100 OR WAIT FOR SOMEONE TO GET OFF THEIR KEISTER TO BUILD ONE FOR THE M250x SERIES.
I will post later with details if the USIM is busted due to the update.
Samsung Galaxy S II (SHW-M250K, KT olleh)
Android Stock (ICS 4.0.3)
I'm in Indonesia (which is in SouthEast Asia) and my S II is rooted.
People sell GT-I9100 here anyway. But not in East Asia.

I'm using Neat ROM Lite. You could check it out. There is no such thing as the "best ROM" so you've gotta search for one that suits you best

Thanks!! will try it out
S2 ics 4.0.3 have many bugs so i rooted my device and changed my kernel to siyah kernel.Now no issue so far.
Just root your device and change your kernel.
Okay, I've read quite a few topics including the stickies, but this problem has been persisting and I need help.
So, I flashed CyanogenMod 10.1 (Android 4.2.2) and downloaded the appropriate gapps, and all is well.
But this morning I noticed that my mobile data isn't working.
It says it is, but I can't send pics or use any form of the internet.
Anybody know why this is?
Or a good fix for this problem?
I saw something about reflashing the ROM, but never saw any confirmation.

First question: did you do a full wipe before flashing the rom?

1)check obvious issues pertaining to the problem you're having.2)search and search and search some more (ya know...like the welcome video you were supposed to watch when ya signed up says?http://youtu.be/JmvCpR45LKA) 3)if you still can't find an adequate resolution, post in a thread already existing with a similar issue (without necroing something obviously) 4) finally if all those steps have been follows and STILL can't find anything or a thread related to your issue, THEN post a new thread. Giving log costs details of your issues and what you've done to try and resolve them. If everyone did this, we'd have much less clutter to sift through .oh yeh. 5) profit.

Went to some other settings and wiped out couple of things? Sounds like you have no nandroid backup? If not you will need to download your stock firmware and get your device into download mode and reflash that stock firmware using odin. Your device will be as it was from the factory its very important to read and have a Clear understanding of your device and its firmware all things must line up and match. Do your homework READ READ READ if your not sure what your doing you can pm me.

You don't use odin. That's for Samsung phones.
Is the phone originally an AT&T model?

I realized what I had said about odin after the fact. He has no backup. He could put a rom on his phone on a micro sd and set it up that way but his boot image is old non running and damaged. And he no file to setup from on his internal.

Probably not a good idea to give suggestions if you're unfamiliar with the phone.

Understood and noted. Htc makes things a little more difficult than samsung im sure I could read more and help..

After doing a lot of search and trying things i gave up, and went to a local store yesterday where they work with phones and stuff, fix them, root them, sell them, etc etc. Anyway just a couple a minutes ago i contact them and they are working on it, they told me to wait and see, if its not today then tomorrow they will be giving me an answer. I hope everything goes well and they can fix the phone, i had to buy a phone yesterday a motorola rzr hd and i hate this phone, but it was the best that i could find at the moment.
There was another thread of a person who has very similar problem's like yours..
Hope you get it fixed
