hey guys,
i have a big problem. i just flashed the newest cm7 nightly for my i9000 and now there is no baseband version anymore. i tried to flash a lot of versions but its still "unknown" and therefore no connection is able.
i also tried to restore my old nandroid backups with a working baseband version but didn't help.
can you please help me to get my phone working?
ty in advice
Treat it as a fresh install. Flash back to froyo to restore your baseband then flash cm7 again.

but isnt it possible to do something else?
and have you a good howto for me? ty!
Baseband unknown is probably a corrupt IMEI, If you made the efs backup before flashing CM7, then restore that, and make sure you have a compatible modem (i had this issue with MIUI yesterday)
Then after restoring the efs backup, reboot, and that should fix it.
If not then as mentioned above, do a fresh install.
Search for EZBase / EZROM to flash back to froyo. and then follow the installation procedure for CM7...
always have a current backup of the efs,. leave a copy or two on your PC, this will save you from having to do this whole fresh install again
trust me... i learned the hard way.... 3 times lol
mhm it seems to be the IMEI stuff. once i did an efs backup while installling the cm7 with a script called something like efs_backup
where can i find this backup and how to restore it?
ty man!
does someone know how to restore the IMEI. I did a backup before and i think i found the folder: /sdcard/backup/efs

Yes thats correct, copy the NV_data.bin and the NV_data.bin MD5 to /efs using root explorer or similar.
once done reboot and check when the phone boots back up.
should i delete all files in the directory /efs first before i copy those 2 files in?
another hint. i tried to backup the efs and then installing a fitting modem:
when i try to install the modem (JVK - definetly working before) i get this message in cwm: asser failed: write_raw_image("/tmp/modem.bin","radio") insallation aborted
so can help me?
ty
Ok first of all, copying the relevant items from /backup /efs to /efs will just overwrite, so no need to delete - you can if you want.
as for the modem issue, maybe it was a bad download, try re-downloading. Also, make sure THAT particular modem is compatible, there have been some issues with the latest CM / MIUI releases, there is a link somewhere to all modems for this specific release..
EDIT: here are the modems for the latest release of CM / MIUI http://codeworkx.de/download/cyanogenmod/
I have a feeling in the end you will find that just going back to froyo first is still your best option.
Search in the General thread for my name and CM7 install to find my guide. Follow it and you will be fine.

No, there is no way to do this. As far as I am aware, the only way to restore anything created with xRecovery (system.img) is through xRecovery, as it checks for MD5 sums, etc. If your USB port is broken, as you stated in your other two or three threads you have created about this issue, then I am afraid you are stuck on 1.6, for the reasons myself and other people have given you in your various threads.
In the future, please only create one thread.

I take no responsibility for creating a brick if something goes wrong. May be a good idea to create a CWM backup prior to flashing.
? stock recovery or cwm flashing?
so can i just flash this
I had rooted right out of the box and i regret doing it cuz i dont see a real reason to overclock when everything runs fine as is..
can i flash in cwm(power vol.-) or stock recovery (power vol.+)
thank you for this i wanted to unroot and go back to stock but every time i tried to update it said network coverage is poor please find a different location ..
Im on wifi so this made no sense so I hope this help and works ill wait to flash till i hear from you on what to do im a newbie on the acer.. so help is greatly appreciated thanks !

Yes and no,
You can flash with CWM however after downloading the archive you will need to extract it and only use the update.zip from within. You need to place the update on the EXTERNAL sd card for it to work. It is running great on my a500.
Make sure your version is running the same as the before I have posted in the OP. I don't know if it will make a difference but it might.
Ok yea before I rooted it wanted me to update to the ver. You had before you updated to your current build.
I wounder if you are correct about update to 3.1 then 3.2 cuz it definitely was trying to do the other build not the 3.2 unless that is new..
I hope that the update help fc'ings with some gameloft games asphalt 6 was downloaded while on 3.0.1 tried to play compatibility issue then used a501 rom and others all popular roms still didn't work...
Frustrating ..
Is there a way after I update to do a factory reset to delete every and start over .. everytime I try it just delete apps kinda all programs are still there though ex. I go to market after factory reset and it says open insted of install so the apps are hidden but still installed lol..
Sry for writing a book but I'm getting frustrated.
thank you again bud!

Well they can search this forum for the fix and apply it. So far all evidence seems to suggest that you cannot do this on your own.
While restoring from an efs backup, it's important to restore the appropriate rights for the files too. A simple copy-paste doesn't work. If you have properly backed up the efs folder (not copy-paste), a correct restore action should work.
Even if everything fails, service guys should be able to regenerate the efs folder with the correct IMEI, but they won't do it for free, since your warranty is invalid by now.

You can do this on your own if you follow the steps in a few guides knocking around on the forum.
Can anyone point me the exact thing to backup so that I can restore when I get issues? I'm worried now.
I've made a copy of my EFS folder. Isn't that enough? If so, Can you point me out to the correct direction to backup and restore b ack??

Hey guys, well I need your help pretty much. I flashed MIUI to my u8800-51 powered by entel, with 2.3.7 but I think I've lost my baseband because when I go to check it at settings, it says there is unknown baseband, so I would love to know what can I do now.
I have an *.IMG file of another GB I had, I did that backup long before. Can I use it? Or just replacing an amss.mbn file? Please give me some steps of what should I do.
Much appreciated.

If you have mobile network working then you should have the baseband already. If it is so then it most likely is a problem with the miui rom u flashed. It may have some files missing or improper although I can't tell you which.

First of all I'd like to express how I feel. I feel like crying! I honestly just spent my entire savings for this year to get my note III and now I have no idea how to get it back to work. Phone is working but IMEI is null and baseband is unknown.
I wanted to install a custom ROM and thought it would be a great idea to backup my EFS. I used EFS Professional v2.0.91 tool, and for some reason instead of backing up my efs this tool got rid of my imei and baseband. I have tried every solution there is and I reached a dead end and the point of I just wanna cry now! Please if anyone could help me!

OK I'll chime in here before you mess up your device due to advice that is very poor IMO.
The fire script only works if you lose your BASEBAND not your BASEBAND and IMEI!!!
By flashing the fire script it actually messes the device up more. And it should ONLY be run if you lose basband not IMEI/SN.
Read THIS thread and learn the risks, your device can be fixed, however you need to use ADB and be prepared for a bit of a headache to restore your IMEI.
People need to stop recommending that fire script until they know what the hell it actually bloody does.

Your issue would have been loss of BASEBAND not IMEI and BASEBAND, there is a HUGE difference. I suggest you learn the differences and how they vary before recommending a script that can ruin a device.

you are mistaken bro, the brickloop fix was actually made for efs/imei loss,. that was being caused when the note 3 was first released and the custom recoveries deleted imei
