NAND backup won't restore and "Mobile Network not available" - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everybody
I am in a big situation with my galaxy S2 (i9100, in France) : I had Android 2.3.6, rooted, with CF-root kernel (I don't remember which version) and everything was ok (efs was ok, phone was sim unlocked).
After making a NAND backup, I tried to flash a new kernel (in order to install a newer version of android) . But then I made the mistake to try to flash a kernel (recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.1.5-galaxys2) directly from the recovery....newbie mistake ! Then I flashed it through Heimdall and tried to install Cynogenmod 11....but then I had no network (baseband version : unknown ! in the settings). I used the GSII_repair app, and now the baseband version displays well. When the phone asked for the unlock key, which I asked to the provider, and it was unsuccessful...I mean didn't bother to even try to ask my provider, because of the complicated situation!
Now when I dial a phone number I still have the error "Mobile Network not available".
I have this :
*#1234# : PDA: I9100XWL4, PHONE: I9100XXKI4, CSC: I9100XEUKH2
*#06#: displays my "IMEI" correctly
If I try to restore the NAND backup, the process goes through but then I am stuck on the boot screen.
Can you please help me restore this NAND backup or get out of this mess by any other mean ?
Thanks a lot

[Q] No network detected

I flashed my phone to my region but the network icon has a "stop" sign. How do u full unlock the phone ( I tried checking with *#7465625#) and all 4 items are locked. I have rooted the phone as well but I cannot update it at Google Play just keeps downloading.
Just to add the baseband on the phone is "unknown" is this part of the reason? The versions is 2.3.6 with CSC is 5830OLBKT3.

[Q] No network - Samsung Galaxy S3 i9300

Hello guys,
I`ve been watching all this topics for a while cuz I have some problems with my Galaxy S3. I`ll tell you what i did.
All worked fine, had the 4.1.1 official rom + root, then i wanted to go to 4.1.2 so i flashed an UK stock ROM. After that i kept getting the "Sim has been removed" error need restart bla bla.. so i search all around for a fix.. i changed 2 SIM cards and nothing. Then I flashed a Poland version 4.1.2 Stock. That version was better but I encountered the "Call ended" error.. calls would end after 3-4mins or i could not call at all. Then i flashed (and this is when the problem started) Stock Vodafone Spain and got "No network". I must say my IMEI/ SN all are intact.
Then I patched only radio modem from the UK ROM with Odin, but with "PHONE" option (i know i did wrong).. i wanted to change only the modem and it worked cuz i checked with *#1234#.. but from that moment not even one ROM has worked in showing me the network. On About phone says "Network: Unknown". Sometimes it connects to Vodafone but when I try to call says "No network service".
Now my phone is in second service and they can`t make it get a network on. They tryed the neverlock thing but i think was already unblocked.
I tryed rooting and using this Ariza. and were 2 versions there.. I tryed v5 only and didnt worked.
I tried the ##72786# and I get the following message: Connection Problem or invalid MMI code (found somewhere that for this code i need to have Wifi on to work?)
Now i`m thinking to get my phone back and dunno reflash with a good .pit file ? or just reRoot and try v4 Ariza.. I`m really sad, it`s been 5 days and I can`t think on nothing else to do.. I even called Samsung official service and they said to send it to them.
If you have any idea, pls need help. tnx
Check your IMEI is the same as under the battery .
Samsung will reject warranty .

you are right.. IMEI and SN are not the same.. pff what to do now?
Restore your backed up EFS folder.
jje
But i think i backed up the EFS folder with the modified IMEI. What can i do now?
nothing. replace the motherboard
SOLVED!
Ok so tnx to JJEgan i checked all the IMEI numbers and only 2 of them were modified. Thing is before I pached the v5 Ariza, I did a EFS backup with that program. That backup img saved my phone.
Firstly I got my phone back from service with 4.2.1 official ROM (thats nice, cost me 0 $ ). I rooted with CF-Auto and used Ariza patch (v4). But my imei was still wrong so after that I used EFS_Backup_Restore_new_ADB.rar to restore my IMEI/SN with the old EFS backup then I used another programEFS Professional v2.0. I checked the option to repair No network and clicked Restore. After that I restarted my phone and I got the messages from provider with APN settings and so on.
Thank you for the help :good:
worked till first restart... now No network again, I`m not a samsung/android fan anymore..

Help!: Galaxy S2-I9100 - Baseband/IMEI/SN/Airplane-Mode

I have a S2 phone, out of warranty was bought from Spain under the Vodafone carrier. So is not stolen/imei blacklisted or other stuff i saw around.
Was bought by a good friend of mine, now he upgraded to S3 and his old S2 went to me, i think it was rooted, had superuser and acces to /efs/.nv_data.bin. to copy them from /device to /sdcard and also had busybox installed.
Phone shows even the airplane (with ariplane mode off) or the circle with the / inside and IMEI pops with " null/null ".
I did try GSII_repair and unlock software while i had the 4.1.2 software instaled as it came (from my friend) but no use.
I did try to get the nv_data.bin file with a hexedit and search for the 181468 (if i'm not wrong) line for the FF 01 00 00 00 stuff and change the 01 to 00, ofc nothing found about that line. Also between the .bak and .bin file since i remember was no difference at all.
I did try another method to search in the nv_data.bin for the SGH thing about the serial number, again without finding anything.
I tought a stock ROM will help, so i found a tutorial and with Odin3 v1.85 i've put this rom GT-I9100_XEU_I9100XWLP7_I9100XXLPS_I9100XEULP5.tar.md5 with the pda button. Of course the phone turn on and freeze on the S2 logo, than went on MENU+VOL Up+power, and did a whipe and turned on the phone. This went to 4.0.2 with :
Build nr.: IML74k.XWLP7
PDA: I9100XWLP7
CSC: I9100XEULP5
kernel
3.0.15-I9100XWLP7-CL340913
[email protected] #3
Again *#06# and babam, IMEI nothing there.
So i did upgrade again to 4.1.2 I9100XWLSE_I9100OXELS6_I9100XXLS8_HOME.tar.md5 with oding on the pda tab and now shows:
Build nr.: JZ054K.I9100XWLSE
kernel
3.0.31-889555
[email protected] #3
SMP PREEMPT KST 2013.
PDA:I9100XWLSE
CSC:I9100XELS6
Baseband unknown, Imei unknown but now shows something for SN, this: SN: 00195ef068dfae.
Also found some codes *#7465625# -wich shows nothing and than when i try to enter service menu for debung and stuff also shows nothing.
So found another tutorial to add 3 files in Odin, the PDA option (that i used 2 times) and the PHONE and CSC options with 2 more files to upload. I will download, try and post back.
Thanks in advance for any1 wich reads/reply/helps or talks on this theard.:good:
p.s. I tried a soft called SRS with 3 free options to change null imei to 0004999 or something and it tells that phone is not rooted in this moment, and he might be right and here cames the qestion, while you change ROM you lose the root and su because if not, than means phone was not rooted, but hard to think at that because i could acces the /efs folder. Complete mind**** here....
edit: i did try that rom 4.1.2 with I9100XXLSJ_I9100OXXLS1_OXX with the 3 files below
pda: CODE_I9100XXLSJ
csc: CSC_HOME_OXX_I9100OXXLS1
modem: MODEM_I9100XXLS6 Still no baseband/imei and yeah for sure phone is not rooted now, should i root the phone and than .... try what? throw it on window / use it as ipod device ?
edit: found what is suppoused to be my original fimware Latest firmware from Spain / Vodafone carrier (ATL)... i will try to flash it with odin and see what happens.

You do that.
You're looking for a EFS folder back up, check out ktool to see if you can recover the IMEI.
Also call your friend and ask him how the IMEI got lost and if he backed up the EFS folder at any point.

Thanks for your answer and support.
1. This stupid problem came out of nowhere and he did not had a backup on anything.
2. Found out the device was not rooted when that happen (4 days ago) and his bigger brother tryed to use suroot and some tools like ktool or something and another useless tool, and that was the moment when he created the backups.
3. So backups were created after, phone was not rooted when it happen, no backups at all. Now i've put the 4.1.2 baseband, rooted the device, installed jeebo kernel, did try some Dalkvin wipe from cwm but still no result, when i got the phone had no serial number at all, and i don't know how i managed by swamping from rom to rom to get a SN like 00195ef068dfae, this is not the SN but make me feel better than a empty SN field.
I guess that Z3X box would do miracles, but in my city (Brasov, Romania) no1 has one at workshops, found one for about 120$ but at around 100$ i can get a MB to swamp...but still i can not afford that at the moment...
Did try Ktool/gsII_repair and efs repair (chinese verison smthing) without any result like the 3rd time but now with my own root and cwm and stuff. This is another backup made with ktool 5mins ago http://dl.xda-developers.com/attach...5454/2/1/3/5/1/7/5/EFS_Backup_with_K-tool.zip
Also managed to use EFS pro, did a backup, tried to repair baseband/format efs... nothing works
When i try now to repair emai /baseband-again, show an error about mounting /efs

[Q] Wrong serial number after CM 11 install

Hi everyone,
I just flashed my phone for the first time from 4.3 Stock to Cyanogenmod 11 (Snapshot M10) following these steps :
Using ClockWorkMod I backed up all my device.
In recovery mod I did a factory reset
I installed from sdcard the CM11 file
I installed from sdcard the GApps file
Reboot
After 1-2min, before I can do anything (reconfigurate my "new" phone"), I have to log on my phone via SIM's PIN.
Even with the right PIN, I have a "login on the network" screen and can't do anything.
At this point, I though it would be a network (modem ?) issue
I disconnected the SIM and rebooted the phone and here is what I figured out :
IMEI is OK (the same on both Stock and CM11)
Serial Number is broken (different from Stock)
I've searched on the forums but I couldn't find some people with the same problem : generally IMEI and Serial Number are both broken
I have no clue how to restore the serial number only.
Would a EFS restore do the trick ?
For information, I don't know if that's relevant : my device is a Samsung Galaxy SIII i-9300, and I live in France, using Orange as provider.
Thank you for your help
PS : I just restored my phone via the backup I did. All works fine (but I'm back on 4.3 :/ )
There are problems with the recent CM11. Try another CustomRom: AOKP-, Omni-or TW-based.
First flash full stock room with Odin, if serial not recovered then restore your efs backup.
Once it's all working again then start custom flash again.

Problem with my phone (firmware)

Hello Guys. I have a SAMSUNG (WCDMA) galaxy S II GT i9100 (CMIIT ID: 2011CP2751)
Is from Koreea, original device. I rooted this phone using odin, i flashed a european firmware, because on his original firmware i had restrition on apps. Recently, i gave him hard reset (wipe data factory reset, wipe cache) and after rebooting,he shows me the steps for configuration (language, wifi, samsung account, etc) and at this time it rebooting and is stuck on samsung logo. Now i have to flash again but i don t know baseband version. I downloaded a firmware and shows me FAIL when i flashed with odin. I need this baseband version. Cand i find if i know the IMEI ? or can anybody help me?
I think you can find 'the best match' using chimera software which has sort of a firmware search for your phone's serial (11 characters long).
Your phone serial should be under your battery, somewhere near the IMEI.
If you want to use chimera, after you've registered, logged into the software and all that annoying stuff connect your phone, and after it gets recognized go to "Firmware Update" and complete the "serial number" field press "Autodetect latest" and it should give your some sort of a match. At least that worked for me.
Or PM me with the serial if you want to skip all the registering stuff because I already have a working account.
