Reception problem, faulty HW? - Lenovo P780

I have tried all these modems *sigh* but still having big problems with networks. My phone is 60% of the time off on both sims, sometimes one does better sometimes the other.
Certain modems are better than others but are far from stable.
On my previous P780 with V51+S820.zip I had no problems getting a signal.
I'm on SLXROM v25a currently.
I am out of ideas, may this be a faulty HW?

I have the same problem with my p780. It is a Chinese model, 4GB internal memory.
I successfully installed the P780_ROW_S124_140403 ROM, and tried many baseband firmare versions. Among the others:
V51_modem.S820.for.P780 (currently installed);
V16_modem_P780;
V52_modem.S920.for.P780
V52_modem_P780
I downloaded all relevant zip files from a Russian site (Lenovo-forum, i Russia).
But I did not solve my problems, I continue having the same issues described in the previous post.
Any ideas on that?
Thank you very much

TY m4h38008,
I'll try, also if I'd prefer to keep my current ROM (it should be the most recent stock ROW).
BTW, your English is perfectly understandable

I sent my phone back to the seller as a warranty complaint. I will have the phone pack this week, when it arrives I will update the info about signal reception in this thread.

Ok I got my phone back. The anser was, the error had not occured and they sent it back. At first I was outraged and did not even turn on the phone for one day. Later I saw the reception is indeed stable on both sims.
The current version of software on the phone from the service center is this:
P780_S125_130529
P780 V15 2013/05/27

I have created a patch for TWRP with this modem. It is called P780 V15 2013.05.27.zip.
Hope it helps.

In the service centre they have flashed a rom with modem V15 2013/05/27 which apparently is the only single modem that works with my phone.
I migrated the modem.img file from the rom to slx rom and it works like a charm.
Later I realized the V15 was also present in Stympy's modem's thread .
1 month ago I tested all modems in Stympy's thread dunno if it wasn't there 1 month ago I guess I missed it.

[Q] No network coverage :(

First of all please forgive me that I had to create a new thread for things which are explained already plenty of times. the only thing happening is that all the things explained earlier, are not working in my case. Guys please help me. everything was running fine until I decided to switch to stock 2.3.3. I was unaware with this baseband thing. I switched to stock 2.3.3. I did not like it, so decided to roll back to cm7, I did, and here i am with no signal in my phone... I did flash the old baseband, but am still stuck with no signal... am in real trouble, and now if I again switch to stock 2.3.3, then also I dont get a network coverage at all. Please help me buddies
And yes one more thing, even if I flash back the old stock froyo, via kdz or lgmdp, I cant get the network coverage ... the guy at LG service center says there's some problem with the board ... but I dont think its the board problem, is there any way to diagnose this issue or am I *ucked?

What ROM are you running on, Their are a few ROMs that haven't fixed network issues, If you are using a iHO ROM then have you tried the Airplane Mode Fix?
right now I have flashed stock gingerbread. that 'v20g' one. but if u say, i will switch to another rom whichever u say... I tried stock froyo, mik's cm7, and void.# forever's cm7. none of those fixes the signal, I even tried the new baseband patch provided by mik, not working :'(
What phone do you have. Do you have an optimus v,you have to use a ROM for it.

no there wasnt any problem, and yes I can see my imei in settings, which I found correct.
then i think there is problem in hardware.
Flash original rom and recovery and take phone to service center, if you have warranty phone will be repaired for free.

S2 Phone Sgnal Loss + IMEI Missing

Hi all,
So i have been having some problems with my s2 recently which I hope you can help me with. Phone was working fine a few months ago, then the micro usb socket failed on me. No worries, new board goes in all is well. Then a couple of weeks ago same problems again, again no worries ill put a new board in i thought!
Please with another sucessful fix I also decided to finally test out ICS so jumped on the latest nightly cyanogenmod. Anyway, since these things I am now finding my phone will just stop getting any signal. IT usually eventually comes back after many resets and battery pull outs, and when it works it works well (3g access no problems). Today it has done the same thing and now won't seem to come back, even the IMEI number is missing this time when i type *#06#....
Does anyone know if this is likely hardware or software?
Thanks all,
Ian
Not even generic imei? You dont happen to have a EFS backup?
Have you tried flashing back te original firmware you had before the problem?
Have you tried changing the modem? since it is the one that adresses the signal problem.
And if you're thinking of flashing original ICS firmware do be carefull. Mind the Brickbug.
I face the same problem, but i at least get generic imei and signal.
Please excuse the bad english.
no imei when type *#06#
No backup.
I had this problem last weekend but the imei came back just from lots of resetting. Question is is this hardware or software?

Well, if you had a backup and restored and it would have worked it we could have ruled out the hardware.
Otherwise it surpasses me. I would have an experienced forum member answer your question. I am sorry i was of no help.

Without a backup you're not fixing it. Service centre if you want it done properly, or ask local mobile repair shops (which can be very 'hit & miss').
It's unlikely to be a hardware issue if the IMEI has disappeared. It's a firmware/software problem that's caused it; exactly what however, would be conjecture on anyone's part (and irrelevant anyway; knowing what caused it isn't going to help you fix it, trust me).
Edit - Given you've only got a few mths till you get a new phone & given the probable cost of repairs, I'd be bringing forward my new phone purchase.

cm-10.1-20130212-NIGHTLY-i9100
When I used to run GB Miui (>12 mths ago, shortly after I got my phone), the IMEI would occasionally disappear immediately after boot for anything up to 30 seconds.
Why did it happen ? I'm no developer (I'm not even sure the developers of that particular rom knew), but it always showed up or after another reboot.
Essentially, if the IMEI doesn't come back after rebooting a couple of times, you're cactus.
Maybe do a clean install of stock & a reset (stay away from 4.0.4 stock). I wouldn't get my hopes up tho. First thing you do when you run non-stock firmware/root your phone is backup EFS. Always.

i rooted a couple of years ago when i got the phone, don't ever remember mention of efs and never had problems until now...
well a couple of data wipes and a reinstall of the same rom againand i have signal again...
i think this confirms it must be software related...now to backup efs.
Tell the developers of the rom you're using. Could be useful to them.
will do! any suggestions of a ICS rom that is more stable than the CM nightlys?

Lol I would say so, however you have realised it and that's a good thing. If you can already flash a rom then you can flash modem. It's exactly the same. The only reason I've mentioned it is that I run CM nightlies myself and if I use any modem other than LS8 I have the same problem.

[Q] Loosing signal every couple of seconds with Omni Rom 4.4.3-20140618-i9100-NIGHT

Hi guys,
I'm having a very weird issue with the latest omni rom nightly (http://dl.omnirom.org/i9100/omni-4.4.3-20140618-i9100-NIGHTLY.zip).
I'm loosing signal every couple of seconds (see attached screenshots).
Before using this 4.4.3 Omni rom build I was using a 4.4.2 Omni rom build (released in May 2014).
Before installing this 4.4.3 Omni rom I have done a full wipe (cache/dalvic/data/system).
Because of this connectivity issue, I'm experiencing a battery drain that consumes my battery in 5 hours (even using Greenify).
I'm fully rooted using SuperSu v2.
I would like to use a 4.4.3 rom without this issue (if possible).
Ps: I've been using Omni for a very long time and I like it a lot. I've heard CM11 for SG2 is not that stable yet and there some battery drain issues and also an issue with the camera. Nos sure if I should give it a try.
Thanks in advance,
Roberto.

Thanks for your quick reply.
Your idea help me to find something very strange on my phone.
Please check the attached scheenshots. Compare than and you will see what is going on when I lose signal.
Also, it's strange that this rom cannot recognize my number from the SIM card.
I have another smartphone for testing (Moto X) and I can load my SIM card in there and see my IMEI and all the information that is stored in the SIM card.
Thanks once again for your time and help!

Well, I think this is the issue I'm facing: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/help/signal-dropping-constantly-t1776211/page4
I'm happy I'm not the only one!
Not sure if changing the modem would help. I have check APN, changing from auto select network operator to manually selected, selecting only 2G network, nothing has worked so far.
I have also posted that link as I was facing the same issue few days back. in my case, it was waterlogged mainboard which I had to get replaced.
Anyways, you can try flashing different modems, not sure whether it will help or not but there is nothing much we can do in this case.
Maybe at the hardware side, your antenna module is not functioning properly. Get that checked too if nothing else works.

Funny thing was that I flashed an old Omni 4.4.2 build (February 2014) and after a couple of reboots it seems to be working fine...
I can't tell if it was the modem or something else... now I'm using exactly the same modem version (I9100XXLS8) as before but on this old build it just works perfect...
I've seen the Omni guys are about to introduce 4.4.4 on the next build. I will wait a few weeks before giving it a try...

You should have seen my happy face when I saw my phone working again!
I have replied on the omnirom 4.4.X thread for SG2 as I would like to know if somebody else has experienced this with the latest builds.
I investigated a bit and it seems modems do not come with builds. However, there might be something in that 4.4.3 build that the modem didn't like.
I'm wondering if I would experience the same once 4.4.4 is released by Omni.
Time will tell...

s9+ International - How to Fix SIM Network PIN Blocked/Enter SIM Network PUK

Folks,
I need help in a big way. I rooted my s9+ International several months ago and had the Renovate Ice Rom on it. It was working fine but I wanted to try out a different rom. The title of my post says it all. Since loading the other rom I have not been able to get it to recognize my T-Mo sim card (tried a new one also) to make/receive calls or texts. I can access the internet just fine. I've done everything that I could think of from doing a factory reset several times to flashing the original stock rom several times, trying 2 internet services in an attempt to "unlock" it. T-Mo is obviously no help and even after flashing the stock rom twice, I sent it to Samsung Singapore thinking that they could help but they want to charge $400 to put in a new motherboard which I declined. It's on it's way back to me.
Any and all suggestions will be greatly welcomed as I've reverted to using my LG V20 for the time being. I paid $1,000 for the s9+! This is the 1st time in years of flashing rom's that I've had this issue and may never flash another rom again due to this.
Help......please.

Thanks but as I'd mentioned in my post, T-Mo was no help. Only typing in the PUK code does not resolve it.

I got this before days ago and fixed that.

Thank you but as I'd said in my post, I've tried several resets and even flashed the stock rom several times without success.

I looked through his entire thread, even saw some of your postings and couldn't find any mention of my issue. Mind pointing me to the exact place in his tread? Btw, I had his software on my phone prior to this coming up and it worked perfectly.
I'd appreciate it.
Flash the devbase rom. You most likely flashed the detonator mod and that can mess with returning to stock. Also follow the advice others gave and look in tek's thread. Easy solution for me when this happened was to clean flash devbase and go from there.

I'm currently on the stock rom after 2 factory resets then flashing the stock rom twice. I did have tek's mod on it "prior" to the above. Wouldn't all of the above have wiped his mod off the phone completely leaving nothing to uninstall?
I've done nothing to it since all of the above so supposedly it's a clean phone at this point. So based on that info., what would you suggest?
AND, thank you for the response as perhaps you and ddloco are on the right track....

Did my response make sense? Wouldn't all of the wiping have gotten rid of tek's mod?

Wiping doesn't eliminate it. You have to properly restore or flash with a rom that overwrites the mod.

Are you saying that I should root again and flash either a stock or another rom and that overwrites/deletes his mod? And doing so "may" fix that issue?

Flashing devbase rom has fixed it for me previously. After you flash it make a nandroid and save it in a safe place.

By devbase you mean any rom other than a stock one right? And thanks for your time as well in helping me with this.

The rom by alexandr in this forum. Install twrp and flash his rom. Boot up and hopefully your phone works. I ran into a similar problem right after I got my S9+.

As you're vouching for his rom, I'll root and install twrp again and flash his rom. Did you flash tek's mod afterwards as well if you're still on T-Mobile?
I'll get my phone back from Samsung Singapore this week and give it a shot. If it works, how do I get a "donation" to you?
Either way, thanks again for the help.
I can vouch for his rom cause I've run every one of them. If your getting it back from Samsung see if it works fine first. I don't need any donations. Give it to a charity of your choosing if you want. Yes I'm running teks mod on TMobile now. Having volte is a godsend on TMobile as I get to many dropped calls on 2g and hspa.

Samsung told me that they would have to charge me $400 to replace the motherboard (yes you read that right) as a fix which I obviously declined. As soon as it's back, I'll try starting from scratch again via rooting, etc. as you've confirmed about. And I'll let you know 1 way or the other as to the outcome.
Your time is definitely appreciated.... Sabresfan.
