Has anyone fixed the Serial Number
My phone has been through a lot since it was bricked with the KitKat update. I got it fixed and it came back rooted. I've clean up a lot, learned a lot and I'm left with 2 issues. The serial number is incorrect and whenever it drops to EDGE it never comes back to 4G. I've found a XDA post that should let me fix the EDGE-4G issue but I still haven't found any fix for the incorrect serial number.
This forum has been invaluable in getting things working again. AT&T and Samsung were of no help.

[Q] Very Strange Problem

Hey all, I'm having a problem with my nexus here and its driving me crazy. Basically i was behind on updates and running 4.2.2 (Paranoid Android) until today. I decided I would upgrade to the newest Paranoid android 3.99 RC2. First off, i downloaded the stock nexus 4 images, and flashed em all through fastboot. Then i flashed the newest CWM (6.0.3.8 i think) and proceeded to flash PA.
But when i booted into PA, i had no cell connectivity as well as unknown baseband, imei, and imei sv, even though the baseband is clearly shown in fastboot (its 0.84). I tried reflashing the baseband, no luck. So i reflashed the stock google img's and my imei and everything came back.
So i tried a second time and it still didn't work. Seems like whenever i flash PA, i lose my imei and baseband.
Help me out guys
Anybody?

DID you do a full wipe before flashing?
I would be very careful and stay stock until you get an answer. Without IMEI your phone is illegal and won't work. I've stayed away from C /M as it's buggy and has too much trouble, like this.
Sorry

Try using latest TWRP
I got this last time I flashed paranoid android. I had to use the LG tool and download mode

If you are coming from 4.2 make sure to flash 4.3 Radio and Bootloader!!
Follow this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2389721
Yes, I did a full wipe, even the SD.
I flashed the full 4.3 stock Google image through fast boot first. So I should be totally up to date.
I will try TWRP and see if its the new CWM that's messing things up.

The CWM version you used has a bug which derps your baseband when you flash anything. Simple fix: install any other version of CWM or use TWRP, then flash everything again (radio, rom, whatever). This happened to a lot of people. You'll be fine.

No Imei, no baseband, no solution

Hi there, i recently installed Foxhound 3.1 rom and everything was perfectly. it all went well for almost 1 week and all of a suden i lost my baseband (so no service) and my imei.
I have searched the foruns and tried a couple of suggestion like instaling another rom, trying to flash radio twice, etc but it doesnt seem to work since everytime i go up to the rom theres no service.
any idea on solutions? might this be due to the fact that i am 0x1 ? thanks!

[Q] Int. Note3 wont recognize pin after official OTA

Hello guys,
I have encountered i problem after i updated my international note 3 officially.It said there is a new update for my device so i downloaded and updated it then it wouldnt recognize my pin.I took the sim card out then it said there is another OTA available.I downloaded and updated again in hope for a fix but it didnt recognize this time either.I blocked it and tried the PUK1 and PUK2 codes neither them both worked.Im using it now without my sim card.Its not rooted btw.
Thank you have a good day!
Only thing I can think off is boot to recovery and factory reset, see if it fixes it.
If not then you'd probably need to flash stock via ODIN.
However you need to note that reactivation lock must be off -- do you remember/know if it is off or on?

Its off sir under the Security settings.
You can re flash your stock rom via ODIN, have a read around and make sure you are 100% confident in doing so, then when your phone boots back up, you should be able to enter your puk code to unlock your sim.
I cannot stress enough the importance of reading as much as your brain can take in so that you are absolutely confident in what re flashing etc entails.
Good luck and keep the thread posted on your progress

Cant upgrade nexus 4 past 4.2.2

Hi xda people I have a problem I dropped nexus 4 about 6 months ago and sold to workm8 which he fixed himself for 90quid. Anyway he ota updated to 4.3 fine it was locked and unrooted then he got bootloop in 4.4.2 ota update so I had a look for him. I was able to use wugs toolkit and stock to unroot to 4.2.2 which works then I tried locking bootloader and ota to 4.3 which bootlooped. I also try to revert ro stock and unlock to 4.4.2 but same any ideas? Out of ideas im guessing maybe nand block is not writable maybe? I did drop 3 ft. I googled but only found issues with nexus 7 ota

Did you wipe after you flashed the KitKat factory images?
Does the phone display the proper baseband and imei?
Edit I tried to wipe data and cache thru stock recovery after ota update to 4.4.2 still not 100% from wugs
Not sure I presume I did. I definetly did wipe before going to kitkat by booting custom recovery from wugs and then reverting to stock 4.2.2 I only tried ota update from there. I think when I then tried 4.4.2 same way that 4.2.2 worked I may not of. Guess ill try again at some point but he just wanted to play with new toy so I just put on 4.2.2 for now.
So is the ota flaky as I thought all data would be kept anyway. Thanks for advic3
Imei and baseband show on bootloader but not on hand at mo so dont know baseband it on.
I also tried sideloading stock rooted 4.4.2 zip but same bootloop and sure I wiped after and tried again may be 2rong getting confused I tried for few hours lol

Dunno if it's part of the problem, but remember flashing different versions, make sure that you are using the correct radio.
You can find the IMEI and Baseband in Settings>About phone

Yeah I remember I upgraded or did I downgrade radio about 6 month ago. Ill get the baseband info and get back to you
