IMEI & Baseband Unknown (Null) - Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers

Hello,
My redmi note 3 (SD) got bad flash, somehow I had recovered it but now I am facing some major issues which are not solving.
1 - IMEI Unknown
2 - Baseband Unknown
tried these threads, but no change, still same issue.
http://en.miui.com/thread-260943-1-1.html
http://en.miui.com/thread-271552-1-1.html
Due to the above issues unable to use cellular network, if any sim inserted it show No Sim Card/ No Service
Screenshots attached below
Please help me, it'll be very much apreciable.

Does sim work in another phone?
Are the APN settings for the sim correct?

Tried this but no change, still same situation.

I had the same problem and it turned out that I have kate version of note 3 pro, not kenzo.
You can check the version by measuring its height (152mm - kate; 150mm - kenzo) or weight (I don't remeber the numbers).
After flashing kate's firmware everything went back to normal.

it's kenzo confirm 150mm - kenzo

Even I had the same problem when I was on miui 6.12.29, what I did is I extracted firmware and META-INF from the ROM zip and deleted emmc_appsboot.mbn from the firmware to avoid bootloader relocking issue and flashed with twrp. Now everything's working. You will restore your baseband as well as imei also most probably.

Try the steps written here: http://en.miui.com/thread-335643-1-1.html
I had the problem with LTE network described in the thread, but maybe it will help you also because you'll flash another QCN to the phone.
Good luck!

Just extract NON-HALOS.BIN from firmware update folder in miui rom zip. And flash it using fastboot by command
fastboot flash modem non-halos.bin
This no IMEI is due to problem that u can't downgrade firmware version once on new firmware and some miui even custom cm rom have old baseband in them.
Regards
PS use only latest rom zip from miui. I have uploaded the file and link is in last 4-5 pages of rr 5.7.4 thread or use search in that thread as non-halos

[Q] Lenovo P780, China, 4GB, problems with ROMs: 4.2.X - camera, 4.4.X - network

Good day to everyone reading this
I spend long time reading this forum before posting, tried a number of ROM, modem updates, but it seems that I cannot make 100% work my Lenovo without your help.
I have brand new Lenovo P780 with problems after flashing ROMs. On battery there are Chineese letters, so I assume I have China version, 4GB.
I've tried around 10 different ROMs. Stock versions, custom ones from getrom webpage, in desparation I tried some russian with the same result.
When I flash to 4.2.X android phone works just fine, I can make calls, GPS works. But I cannot use my camera. Supercamera app stops, flash also is not working. On some ROM I was able to use frontcam, still flash and backcam were not working. Installing different camera apps is not helping.
When I flash to 4.4.X android camera works great, but I don't have network coverage (in most of the ROM ver.). On some of the ROMs in 4.4.X ver. after the reboot SIM cards are active, but after making 2-3 calls they don't have coverage. After next reboot result is the same. Interestingly network are crashing after I use second SIM, if I use only SIM 1 (the one with Internet) coverage works for longer time. After the network crash I cannot use Internet or make calls from any of the SIM until next reboot. There are some frequency issues in Europe, I will be using it in Poland, but I don't get how the phone can work normally on 4.2.X and on 4.4.X frequencies don't match?
I've spend most of my efforts updating (flashing) new ROMs and checking if network problems will be fixed on 4.4.X. When that didn't help I was applying different radios/modems through recovery tools TWRP and CWM but none of the radios I've tried worked (and I tried lots of them). Strangely I discovered that even when I get to install new modem (I got confirmation that all is OK in recovery, install from zip file) broadband version in system information is not changing.
What I will need fro you guys (or girls ) is to advise on the ROM on which I can both make calls and photos from back camera. I really don't care what version of Android will it be, as long as it will work as a phone...
Other solution would be how to update camera firmware on 4.2.X or how to properly update modem on 4.4.X (and what version).
I went already through all the stages of the device - soft brick, hard brick, hard brick not recognized by the PC, so I', not afraid of trying something new.
One thing that may be not 100% clear for me is different versions of the phone, I needed to switch to 2014 bootloader in order to flash some of the ROMs, maybe that's why ROMs were not working for me.
Thank you in advance for any hints!

Hi Stympy,
I saw your post already and tried some of the modems that you uploaded there, surely not all tho..
Before going blindly into the dark let me clarify couple of things:
1) I have China version of my p780 if I have Chinese letters on my battery, yes?
2) I should use China modem or Europa modem for China version of p780 that is to be used in Europe?
3) When I update new modem should the "Baseband Version" change? (in System Settings ↦ Software Information ↦ About Phone at section Baseband Version )
4) If the "Baseband Version" didn't change does it mean that modem was not updated? I'm asking because I got confirmations that zip file were processed normally, but Baseband Version didn't change. Phone also didn't have range afterwards.

1. Lets be clear for the beginning! ALL this phones are made in china!
2. You could install any modem you wish! It depends on your GSM provider. It is true that this modem software is modifyng baseband on your phone! You could see that with MobileUncle Tool if your phone is rooted!
3. Yes.
4. No. The modem software is not installed properly. You probably installed the wrong version of android modem software. Example: JellyBean modem over KitKat firmware.

Hey!
I've managed to force my phone to make calls! I couldn't change my modem due to wrong recovery.
I couldn't change modem before. The problem was with my recovery. When I swapped to recovery_cwm_kk_mod_P780 modem was changed and my phone started to ring, I used kitkat modem europa V52.
Thanks for great work on the forum! Issue is solved so quickly that I'm really amazed!

can u explain what was wrong with the recovery. i am unable to update my modem. it goes into recovery then asks " update zip from sdcard /sdcard2" after selecting sdcard/sdcard2 it boots and nothing happens. ie modem remains the same.
secondly that kitkat modem europa v52 where did u download it from. i am from india. will it work here. europe and asia follows different frequency bands i guess. i am not getting 2G services presently only 3g. thats y i want to change my modem.

Sooo... You dont have any custom trecovery installed.
Go to my post Rooting tutorial for KitKat, read the tutorial, download recovery for Baralajbi firmware and install custom recovery.
Or install MobileUncle Tool, give app root rights download the recovery from my post unzip, put it on the root internal partition, , start MobileUncle Tool, go to recovery option and install the first recovery that appears there.
Good luck.

thanx stympy.
my mobile had bicked again today. so this time i flashed it with the original 4.2 version. ie P780_ROW_S123_131231_rooted_twrp_gapps by baralajbi
now 2g is also available.
in this i checked the band mode. here in UTMS mode WCDMA-IMT-2000 and WCDMA-GSM-900 both are enabled. so i guess there lies the catch.
if it bricks once more then i will try out ur recommendation also and thanx for educating me

If you can't flash the kate firmware, do you will have to reinstall the latest stable version of MIUI using MiFlash. Take a look at Google how do you do it

Miflash will not relock your bootloader. There is just an option to do it, but you can install latest dev weekly through miflash and get back on custom rom immediately. Maybe i dont know some specifics but i did it multiple times.

Network/IMEI Lost and WiFi can't be turned on

Hi there.
I wanted to unlock my bootloader, root and flash a custom rom. So I first flashed the global fastboot rom 7.2.5, later flashed the s-twrp recovery and flashed the lineageOs 7.1. I realised that my sim cards weren't working so therefore switched to resurrection remix. Even then, I couldn't get the network even though wifi was working. So I flashed the global fastboot rom again. I still couldn't get the network. Then I realised that my IMEI number might've been erased while flashing even though I followed every step correctly. I dialed *#*#4636#*#* and found out that my IMEI numbers were now unknown. I got to know that my IMEI numbers were definitely wiped. I tried flashing recoveries, boot images, modem files, etc and now I can't even use WiFi. I tried using the WriteDualIMEI application but unfortunately it isn't finding the COM10/20/9/11 port. I have no clue what to do as of now. Can somebody help me with necessary links and details?
Thanks in advance.
Had this problem yesterday. You may refer to my thread on MIUI forum and see if it can help you. Assuming you have Kenzo variant like I do, refer to this and this first to recover IMEI number as well as EFS, then read the rest of my thread to get signal once you recover the IMEI.

Hey there! Thanks for the quick response! It really means a lot.
The EFS thing makes sense now since all my details such as MAC Address, Baseband, IMEI number, etc are all unavailable or unknown. I tried flashing the modem files but are still unknown. Any tips?

Did you try this guide to restore baseband/IMEI/MAC etc first? You may also use this QCN in case the XQCN in the guide didn't work. Follow carefully the guide. Then after you get everything, you may change the IMEI using tool found here . After that, follow my thread to flash everything possible to get all the connection back.

Imei gone null!! Please help!!

I own a moto x style (XT1572) (DUAL SIM) and have a problem regarding my IMEI number gone null
I did wait for a long time to receive nougat 7.0 update on my device but since I could'nt resist i went for flashing my device
after i unlocked my bootloader i flashed super su zip which unfortunately was a BETA version and hence my device got caught up in a boot loop.
To avoid wasting my time i searched for a restock tool and immediately flashed it.
It was 5.1.1 stock but for XT1575 *post the flash thing* my sim was not detected (both the sim cards).
i went on searching for the problem and found out that both IMEI and BASEBAND version was null and unknown respectively.
Till now i have downloaded lots of recovery patches and boot images including all other stuff but no positive result.
never ever this happened while flashing a device until with this one.
i hope you guys will help me ?
why don't you download the right one for XT1572?!
downloading and flashing wrong firmware cause issues like you are having now, try downloading the right firmware and flash it with that stock tool you used before.
I did but could not get a stock tool for XT1572
Will I get my IMEI number back after flashing the correct firmware?
When the phone is switched on it shows XT1575 on PC where as it shows XT1572 on PC in recovery​ mode

LG G8X sprint model sensors not working after messy crossflash

I tried to crossflash my G8X to the US Open A11 software and screwed up quite badly during the process. I've had to restore my phone from having no partitions and do not have the original LUN5 files, only the 7 required for the crossflash. I've also rooted and installed twrp on this device so if anything that could help needs that I'm able to use it.
I expected the fingerprint sensor not to work, however now the light sensor, accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer, etc. don't work either.
Is there something I can do to get this functionality back? I've mostly given up on fixing the imei and network issues but I would like to at least have the phone in a usable state on Wifi.
If more details are needed please do tell and I will do my best to provide them.

The same thing happened to me, I came from a10 sprint and installed a11 from Canada, I was left without a network and without a fingerprint sensor, but the other sensors work without problem, to fix network and ntcode I think it is only possible by box, I don't know if of the fingerprint sensor is caused by the lack of serial and imei.
if you come up with a solution let me know bro

When you flashed the A10 kdz, you followed netmsm's guide right? Did you get any errors when flashing the partitions with fhloader? When I extracted the kdz a few files were missing from the ones used by that code but every kdz I've extracted doesn't have them either.

When you flashed the A10 kdz, you followed netmsm's guide right? Did you get any errors when flashing the partitions with fhloader? When I extracted the kdz a few files were missing from the ones used by that code but every kdz I've extracted doesn't have them either.

yes, the netmsm's guide, fhloader only use it to restore the luns, restore the kdz partitions one by one with qfil, just try what Surgemanxx suggested first and tell me how it goes.

It works very well.I tried 30c,and noticed it was slow and laggy and rolled back to 30b and it worked flawless.Fingerprint scanning and all worked with a T-Mobile sim with no issues.They should be good with 30b,all but the IMEI issue they have.
All right I completely erased the flash again and reinstalled following the steps very carefully. I'm now on 30b and can confirm that the sensors work once again. Although the major issues I think were deeper than just the update, because I updated before doing a full erase and it still wasn't working. Now I just have to keep trying to fix the IMEI and FP sensor.
Also I think I may have found my IMEI number thanks to having the ftm partition backed up and therefore still having the serial number. The first 8 digits are always 35886110 for the LG G8x sprint model (and maybe others in the US), the next 6 are the last 6 digits of the serial and the last one is a check digit that you can look up online. I've checked the number on multiple sites and it seems legit so I hope it's actually my number. Now I'll try to write it to the phone somehow, but at least having the IMEI back is a very big step forward.
IMEI is fixed, or at least it appears as such in the phone. I went through with the tutty method of installing the IMEI, and after much trouble (and tutty saying error to my command to write the IMEI) I was able to restore the IMEI to the phone. I confirmed this first using EFS Pro and going into qualcomm NV tools. The IMEI was still as 0 in my phone but after putting in a sim it appeared in the OS and has stayed there. However it still appears as permanently locked when a sim is inserted and the nt-code error does still happen, so the network doesn't work yet.

That LUNS backup is for the Sprint U.S. model G850UM9.The IMEI is stored in modemst1 and 2 which is LUNS5 that I didn't include for that reason.The NT Code error shouldn't be there if it's the same model/region.Keep me posted.

I've flashed your backups and the NT Code error indeed disappeared. However I've still got the perm locked error (so my doesn't work), and the fp sensor still refuses record fingerprints. Was your phone network unlocked when you made that backup? Idk if that maybe interferes with the sim or something

Yes,it was network unlocked for sure.You're not the only one that has faced this after trying to repair the IMEI.It's perma blocked because it's embedded in the chipset itself,and so far I haven't seen any fix for it as of yet.
