Galaxy s4 att unknown imei and baseband... sim not found :( - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

Hello... this is my first post... and I did search for a solution but was not succesful...
I have a 1 month old s4. I got some water on it so I let it dry out for a few days and it turned on again.... but now it will not recognize my sim card... it says please insert sim.. when I try to turn on mobile data...it says insert sim card to access network.
The weird thing is the sd card tray works... and they are in the same assembly. The whole sim and sd tray assembly was replaced. Still no luck.
I did go into about device. And this is the information I see :
Android 4.2.2
Baseband unknown
Kernel 3.4.0-453947
Imeo unknown.
This is not a stolen device or anything... the water sensor is red.

Was the phone rooted? If it was, did you make a backup of the efs folder?

You can waste time looking for fixes for this an such, save yourself some time, and use ODIN and start over, back in business.
The Ax says Good luck and good day!

Ok... I will look up odin and see what happens...

I just downloaded kies, and it will not recognize my device...
windows does show my samsung sgh-i337 under my devices...but kies does not.
it says this device is not supported by kies 2.0
make sure that your device is supported and try again.
ive now downloaded odin, and am downloading the firmware frrom samsung-updates.com.
it gave me 2 options, stock firmware, and kernel... i just picked stock firmware.

HI also have a S3 i9300 that went into water and now it dosent recognize sim cards and has the imei null/null and baseband unknown problem. Did you manage to fix it on your phone?
Another xda contributor says there is nothing we can do and that it cannot be fixed with those boxes that those guys who unlock phones have, not even by samsung... Is this true? I ordered a SIM/SD tray replacement on amazon but I bet that won't help at all...
Cheers

Guys, you may want to try this before going forward with anything hard...
So, this same thing happened to me. I had Valhalla Black flashed on my phone, it started to glitch (reloading the home screen every 3 seconds or so and not loading any apps), so I did a CWM restore and it went into a boot loop (the splash screen would freeze and never load the ROM).
So, I used Heimdall One-Click to flash the stock Gingerbread ROM, and my IMEI/etc were all unknown. I saw all these options to use hex editors and stuff to redo the nv_data.bin file and was just about to do them...but...
I decided to check and see if it was the SIM card that went haywire. I put the SIM into another phone and the phone ended up getting service, so I thought, "Oh, sh**, I'm screwed...I'm going to have to do all this IMEI repair stuff..."
In the end, I put the SIM back into my t959v after taking it out of the old phone I was checking it with...AND BAM, IT WORKED! IMEI and everything are back and I'm getting service.
Point of the story: check your SIM card in another phone and see if you get service, then put it back in your other phone and see if you get service again.
FU** YEAH!!! No tough stuff afterall! Reflashing Valhalla Black and restoring apps, settings, etc. from Titanium...

I have no imei. I side loaded NB1 firmware. Noticed it was gone. I got the stock tar and loaded that from odin. Still no imei.
Any ideas?

Sorry found out today its unlocked. My friends tmobile sim worked

unknown baseband & IMEI
I only downloaded the Active apk and didn't have a chance to use safe strap yet (to busy) so everything was working fine for almost 2 weeks then wifi went out (it would try to connect but never could) then within the next 24 hours the S4 Active quit recognizing the Sims card. Now i show no baseband version or no IMEI number (just about everything says unknown). Can someone please help me with this or point me in the right direction because I have had to go back to SHE I337UCUFNB1 and I can't root it at all. But I would take either one rooted I just have to send one back to att ASAP. Thanks in advance and sorry if posted in wrong area. If it is in wrong area just let me know and I'll go to the right area. Thanks again.

here is the s4 active thread--may be of more help to you
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-active
to other posters other than OP--i would try your own thread, this one is old
it can get confusing if multiple people add their specific issues to the OP's issues--just makes it easier--:good:

i have an i337 with no baseband
I have an sgh-i337 with no baseband, i've tried to flash first with: I337_UCUFNB1_Modem_RockRatt, then with I337_UCUFNC1_Modem_RockRatt but in both cases i still with no baseband, somebady could help me?

I purchased a galaxy note on Craigslist for a very cheap price that will not recognize the sim card. It was running a custom ics rom from from the dev section and I Odin ed it back to stock kka UK 2.3.6 using the pit file and cant get it to work. Phone boots and works on wifi, ex speaker and mic have problems too. I brought it to a phone repair place in manhattan that said the hardware is fine electronically but the software is not responding. I have a hunch it might be the bootloader. How to I reformat this to 100% stock including the boot loader? Where can I find the bin file for the boot loader?

I don'y think you need to flash bootloader, as your device booting normally
Just flash latest modem n try it
Check the pins that connect to the sim. A lot od users reported thier sim connecting pin got bent by the micro sim convertor, some of those defect notes could be on the market.

Help, please.

I bought my 13 year old sister a mytouch 4g off craigslist (she loses her phones a lot) and it was working fine at first. Set up her gmail and all that. Then I put in her old sim card, installed the facebook app and the phone froze. Went into bootloader and did a factory reset. Worked fine for a bit then it froze again. Now when I turn it on it gets stuck on the logo screen and when I try to reset via bootloader it freezes too. I'm trying to root it but usb debugging is not enabled and I can't get into the settings to enable it. I've been at it for hours, my brain is fried, can't think of anything solution. Someone please help me.
Makes me wonder if the eMMC chip hasn't gone bad. If so, you're SOL. You could try putting one of the PD15IMG.zip files on the sdcard and reinstall everything fresh -- certainly wouldn't hurt to try. If the PD15IMG file fails to install then that confirms you've got a borked eMMC.

That should get you back to normal.

Sorry , you're unlucky man. You just wipe all partitions including EFS (IMEI/baseband lost). Only thing is sending the phone to Samsung service and maybe they will change the motherboard or reflash it. No ROM/firmware contains those hidden partitions so flashing your own will not help .

I think that your phone is quite messed up, from the installation point of view.
You have to try to get totally back to stock.
Get your FW from sammobile (the one that matches country, operator, etc). Get stock recovery. Install both, then do (several) factory resets. It should work....
I would not go on very high level workarounds (reinstall PIT< etc), as you might totally brick your phone.

I had same issue on mine but mine is all stock (for now). I had to go back to the settings and pick network operator again in order for it to pick up the network again.
Well I got it fixed. I had to fully unroot then run triangle away and then take it to the sprint store. All they did was a hard reset (not a factory reset but something with their computer) and everything was back to normal. Whew thought I was going to have to get a new phone.
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda app-developers app
hi, did you check first in your apn list if the settings were present (connexions - more networks - mobile networks - access point names )? If not present check on your operator website to get the information needed. Normally It should have helped you with this problem
Yeah I messed with that for hours. In many different roms. I think I did every thing I possibly could except for hard reset.

[Q] Help - GS4 - Even Best Buy could not Flash

Hello All,
I am quite new to the world of Android, but have searched and read up for multiple days on this site before finally posting my issue.
I have a GS4 that had been running stock with the MF3 OTA update. I finally decided to root and install safestrap to mess with a few custom roms. Everything went well. I was able to create a Rom Slot and load a custom rom for testing whilst keeping my stock in original form. NO issues what so ever. I used the Wicked Rom.... Eventually I decided that I would delete Rom Slot 1 and go back to stock. I followed directions to the T, deleted the slot and selected to boot from Stock. NO GO. This is where the horror begins:
Now, the phone boots up but I see the Samsung Galaxy S4 logo and it stays there...does not go back. I no longer see the SafeStrap recovery screen when booting up. --- I cannot even get into recovery on the phone any longer: it says recovery booting in blue and stays there.
I am able to get into Download mode to re-flash - but naturally none of the stock firmware files are loadable via Odin due to an error I keep getting NAND Flash! (Fail).
I finally decided to drive to Best Buy and asked the guy to flash my phone to stock there. He put the phone in download mode and used their multiflash tool which did not detect the phone and thus he could not move forward. The laptop did detect the phone at best buy, but their software did not and thus flashing did not occur.
I am looking for any and all advice to get this phone running without having to return it to Samsung....please and thanks in advance.
My apologies if my search did not yield a positive result and there is something out there....
Well There is no way to flash with Odin while on MF3, so that effort is completely fruitless at this time. Did the guy try a different USB port, cord or even restarting the computer he was using?
Can you get into your recovery to do a factory reset?

Best buy should be able to do it. I remember reading somewhere that someone had to go to 3 different stores before they found someone smart enough to do it.. Lol
Sent from my SGH-I337 using XDA Premium HD app
I cannot get into recovery at all, it just says recovery booting and sits there....recovery booting is displayed at the top left of the screen in blue.
The guy did not try a different port or reboot. When he plugged the phone in, in download mode, the computer did recognize the phone but his Samsung software did not.

Well he is an idiot for not troubleshooting his system. I have had the same exact thing happen with multiple different computers and phones. The computer detects the device correctly, but the program I needed to use would not. More often than anything a quick changing of ports or a reboot of the computer fixed it. I have had to completely wipe out the drivers a few times and reinstall them to get it to work. 9 times out of ten, it is not the phone that is the culprit, it is something else before the phone.

FIXED
Well it seems the guy at my best buy was a TOOL! I took the phone in again today, had the battery pulled before I arrived - put it in download mode for him. Told him that Samsung tech support said he should reboot his pc. He did. Voila, reflashed to stock. Thank goodness....thank you guys for the advice.
Apply cold water directly to burned area.

Anyways, glad you are back up.

I think it's BRICKED this time!

Ok, I was on a custom ROM for LS980 and all of a sudden it rebooted and I had no control of anything. There was no service either.
So first thing I did was a reboot. no good. Then I went booted into TWRP and restored my last backup, thought this would surely fix it but nothing. Still booted but had no functionality, plus now it started to go into a boot loop. Tried recovering different versions and no luck.
Then, I decided to use the Flash Tool recovery method. It worked in the sense that there was no longer a boot loop, but I still had no service and could not use a lot of the functions like updating PRL/PROFILE and few of the apps would not launch like the quick remote, it would say "SIM not ready"
I'm pretty much out of ideas at this point as I only have the flash tool option and since I lost recovery.
Is this considered BRICKED or does anyone have an idea? thanks

If you are still able to enter in the ROM it's not Bricked....
Put the phone in Fastboot and flash a recovery via Fastboot commands.
Then you can wipe everything (except internal) and flash a new ROM.
I've never fastbooted before. Is there a quick tutorial link for this?

So I tried the flash tool again using different TOT files. ZV8 and ZVA files caused boot loops. The only file that almost worked was the ZVC file. By almost I mean, there's no boot loop, and i'm able to use the stock ROM however certain things don't work, like when launching the quick remote app, it says "SIM not ready", or stock video cannot play "Unsupported file type" error, and most importantly I'm not able to get any service.
The good part is, my wifi is working. So next I tried to root, however I get this a "unable to open /system/xbin/su: no such file or directory" (i'm attaching the photo for reference).
Thanks for any other tips of directions.
remove sim card and reinsert try that. Not working.
also check your imei. If its not there you may need to recover it from a twrp backup, (recover the efs that is) at least from the time you had no issues. Not working?
Also I read nothing about wiping. (wipe everything except internal sd) before performing a clean instal. Check for same issues, not there victory.
be carefull with full backups, they might contain the issue you are experiencing.

this is a ls980 so I can't remove the Back cover unless there's a way I don't know.

I am not very familiar with your model. But on the d802 there is a small slot on the side of the phone with a small hole. With the phone in box was a small metal device which you could poke in hole and the slot would open. Maybe other user could confirm.
Did you backup your twrp backup of the phone? Then now is also the time to put it back if the tot method deleted it.
Anyway did you check your imei, (dial *#06#, it should show your imei). usually when service is lost there is something wrong with imei, or simcard.
imei can be recovered by the efs backup in a twrp backup. Simcard via putting out back in, reboot, etc.

Thanks for all your help! sounds like its definitely a imei and Sim related issue.
I don't have any backups but I can get to the factory recovery which has an adb side load option. Do you think I can side load a stock ROM this way? If so, what type of file do I use?

this is a ls980 so I can't remove the Back cover unless there's a way I don't know.
Also, I lost twrp recovery when I used the flash tool and tot method. Now, i'm trying to root and get recovery back but can't even root.

So I removed Sim and reinserted it and still no imei. At least I know there's a Sim card access.

Well if you got no imei and no backup, you can't fix it home.
