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.

Use my guide but with an appropriate firmware from samfirmware.
Not a hell lot you can do about the download speed. I suspect it might have something to do with hotfile - I get incredibly ****ty speed from hotfile, but not from any other file sharing service.
There should be a few threads lying around in the general section about stock roms. Try downloading from there instead of ****ty hotfile.

Before you flash anything you gotta make sure you have 2 backup plans. One is, of course, the nandroid backup. The other is having a stock firmware file you can flash with Odin in case everything goes to hell.
In my case, I have a JPU stock firmware stored on my home computer and on my work laptop. Every time I screw up so badly everything is FUBAR I go back to JPU and works like a charm.
Ah also, along with the JPU I have a CF-Root flashable file for JPU (just needs to be Froyo specific, not firmware release specific) so I can have root.
That's the only advice that hasn't been given to you already.
In reality, the Galaxy S is pretty hard to really brick. The bootloader may get corrupted but there's almost always a way out.
ok thanks guys +1
i will flash my phone with 2.3 and when I'am bored with it i'll flash it with some custom rom

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??

Alright guys?
I want to go back to gingerbread, after having been tempted by the bright lights of ICS, and realising that actually they really aren't that bright. I've played with all sorts of roms, from aurora to shendu to pacman to cyanogenmod 10, all over the place. I've only very recently realised that the best thing for my phone, is to head on back to gingerbread, and install cm7.2.
But I can't. I keep trying a million different methods, and my phone simple responds with 'update failed'.
This is what's in the .log file:
Failure: OSBL°æ±¾¼ì²éʧ°Ü.
dload_sd_ram_data_proc->(retry >= DLOAD_RETRY) failed!
Does anyone have any idea what's going wrong here?
I've tried it with no battery, same result.
I've followed the guides on here, same result.
I've tried only flashing part 2, same result.
Can someone please talk me through this? It's doing my head in and I just want a phone that works.

It can't be happened like this.
Try to reflash official ics with all steps and after that, boot the phone once to stock ics and then flash step 2 from official gb.
Note.
Rename the step2 to, UPDATE.APP , if you're not rename it.

Okay, I've done it.
I used roadkil's disk image to install the froyo. Then I flashed gingerbread 572, and it installed, finally. Excellent stuff!
BUT now the phone is network locked (I think). It's refusing to connect to the network. I installed the cm7.2 rom (which incidentally is very nice to use), but yeah. I can use it for everything, other than as a phone.
Any ideas? I need it unlocked tomorrow, because I have a date and if my phone doesn't work, I can't contact the girl! Help!
EDIT: I'll make a new topic.

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.

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
