Hi all,
I have been searching and trying to mend this before posting here but have come to a dead end so need some more advice if possible.
My sister has the S2 and one day it just stopped receiving signal, she restarted the phone and it was asking for the network unlock pin! She got sent some new sims to try and none worked. She had googled around and see that people had success with rooting the device.
I tried this and got the unlock code from chainfire app and tried that but it didn't work. I thought I had unrooted it successfully but it appears not because when she sent it off it came back as warranty was void.
So far I have tried chainfire app to get the unlock, tried the other S2 unlock along with the GII_Repair app from market. None seemed to have worked and I was getting prompts. I flashed clockwork and then CyanogenMod nightly hoping that the factory reset and the modem driver change or something might get it working, but nothing has worked.
Does anyone else have any ideas of any possible next steps I can try?
Thank you
Rich

I've also ran into this issue. As you've tried, I've also tried reflashing the factory firmware via Odin, and rerooting it. Sometimes I could get signal, and the baseband is fine and sometimes the baseband is unknown. Coming back from the screen lock, the phone will have no signal.
I've tried everything from every forum on the web and still couldn't fine a solution. I've done a different SIM card as well and things still don't work. Also flashed multiple modems and still, connections just wasn't stable.
Afterwards, I gave up and exchanged it for a new one. Hopefully you can restore factory firmware and exchange the unit as I don't think anyone has solved this issue yet. Good luck and hopefully you find a way to fix this issue.
If you want to restore the factory firmware, you'll have to do a little searching on the web here, and look for factory firmware and flash it using Odin from either your computer or using the odin app.
Okay, I was able to get into pink screen by erasing the dload folder, removing the battery, and connecting to my PC via the USB cable. I then copied CWM 5.0.2.7 over and then flashed Stallion-51-ICS onto the phone. I now have a very fast, rooted and customized U8800-51, BUT no mobile service. IMEI and APN info is correct but it won't access the mobile service that our other phones access, SIM is the same one that I use in my current phone.
I know you are supposed to back up the IMEI partition and APN before flashing a custom ROM, but since my phone got broke trying to restore a full backup done with CWM I was caught off guard.
Still looking for any suggestions you all might have.
Seriously???

Not to be negative or anything but I think this is the least responsive forum on this site. I have spent hours searching for possible solutions to various problems I've encountered over the past several months, asked several questions and received little if any help. I was only able to get back from a bricked phone to where I am now by using information found on other websites. Pretty sad if you ask me.
In contrast, whenever I have asked a question on my tablet's forum I've received fast workable solutions/answers to my problems/queries. The threads are informative, well organized and contain answers to any situation I have encountered.
Granted, my current problem with my phone is my own fault for trying to customize it. And I suspect part of the problem is due to the age of this phone thus most of the "experts" have moved on to other ventures. It is also hindered by the lack of information available from Huawei and the service providers.
All of that said, if anybody has any suggestions for how I can repair the ESF partition or whatever is causing this lack of mobile service issue I would be extremely grateful. It isn't the end of the world since i have a new phone (Consumer Cellular) that I am currently using but it would be great to get this one working since it's much faster and more streamlined than my stock Consumer Cellular version.
I have experienced something similar on my regular U8800, and it seemed like there was a baseband & modem partitions conflict. In stock 2.3, there should be some kind of hwefsupdate tool, it may be renamed though. This tool gets run on the first boot after 2.3 and it restarts the phone shortly after. Try to reinstall the stock ROM, see what happens. It can be fixed in strange ways - for example, my original U8800 got a USB failure, so I sent it to the repair. I had 2.3 installed. When I got it back, they tried to write over some old 2.2 firmware, which softbricked the phone. Being clueless, I wrote the 4GB image of some other phone's image on my phone, and got everything working again. Then, when I tried to write back my original IMEI, I got the same issue as you. The only way to get it right was to rewrite the "other phone's imei".
The baseband/modem errors are actually very hard to debug, hence no replies. And since it's a Huawei, these guys have even failed to provide a good update system, as seen from the IMEI getting nulled issues. The mmcblk0p5 stores the OEMInfo of the phone, it contains serial numbers & other information about the phone (like accelerometer position up/down for example). It also has the boot image (the very first splash screen). The data is loaded onto modem processor, which provides an API to let userspace access it.

Thank you very much for your reply. It seems that you have found the answer to my problem. But unfortunately, I don't have a copy of the original stock ROM. My phone is the -51 version and any links I have found to the stock ROM are broken. There is a version I found but it is for Venezuela and I don't think it will work. I am leery to try it and totally brick my phone. My backup is apparently corrupted. I backed up my new working phone with Disk Image and attempted to restore it to the broken phone but all that did was cause it to come up to the ATT logo screen for a few seconds and then shut down. It wouldn't do anymore than that. So I restored the Stallion 3.5 image I made and am back to a great fast tablet with no phone service. I also tried backing up my IMEI on the working phone and restoring it to the broken phone but that had no effect.
It is my understanding that the -Pro version of the ROM will work, but I don't have the stock image of that either. I suspect it work might since I was able to use the -Pro version of GB on it. All of my internet searches have only turned up custom ROMs and other desperate people looking for fixes for similar problems or worse. I agree 100% with your assessment of Huawei's lack of meaningful support. It really is a shame, because these phones aren't half bad when they have been customized and OC'ed a little.
I have just about given up on it and resigned myself to using it as an MP3 player for my car system. I have learned my lesson and am leaving the working phone stock. It is rooted and I have cleaned off all of the bloatware, and set it up so most apps run from my SD card, so it really isn't half bad. At least it works.
Again, thank you for your reply and advice.

@Blefish
hi there, can you please give me the exact steps do to so, because im experience the exact same problem.
I've lost the imei in the upgrade process, and them flashed the 4GB image from a user, and then when i try to update to gingerbread, i can't have 3G signal, only 2G.
in the past, i had made a backup of the imei after flashing that .img file, and i think that after update to gingerbread had restored the imei and the 3g was working nice. But this time i cannot acomplish the same, don't remember very well the exact steps that i've made.
I already tried with the B517 and B518, and can't get it to work...
Can you give me some help please?
Thanks in advance

In my case, I restored the full 4GB from some russian community's provided image (it was named Huawei_U8800_FullFlash.bin), which returned my device to stock 2.2. From there I installed 2.3, and everything still worked. The problem in my case was that I could not restore my own IMEI, it never gave me connection & failed to register to a network. The only solution was to use the "wrong" IMEI that came with the 4GB image.
Huawei has some sort of backup mechanism if they think the "data" is corrupted. I can't tell how it works, but it likes to break things that were working before.

i have exactly the same phone than you, because i installed that backup too. After installed it, the IMEI SV is 36, after installing B518 it says it is 18, but before it was 17, and i had 3g signal, but not now.
My question is, wich SV is your phone reporting?
Thank you
I also have a problem like this, but I think it's a bit more severe. My phone got stuck while charging. Couldn't reboot. Was getting stuck on the aurora loading screen(using DZO 5u20). Than reinstalled whole rom. But now I don't any signal and the phone doesn't even see a SIM card. Showing 'baseband unknown' and the IMEI and IMEI SV are also unknown. Not 0's but just unknown. Is this is a similar problem? And can something be done to fix it.
I had some backups on my sd card, untill the sd-card got fried in the phone a couple of months ago.
Hi,
I am new to all this so please dont think me too much an idiot. I have searched nad searched but yet am unable to find a solution for my issue.
I tried rooting my s8+ last night, after a few attempts I managed it and installed a ROM (Renovate ICE)
all was ok phone restored and i was happy except unable to use banking apps. after some research I decided to change roms for one with built in supersu so i could install rootcloak and hopefully be able to use it, I then installed KING ROM, but i believe i selecteed an incorrect option which then deleted my network settings and imei so although the phone was working I lost all signal and my imei. i then tried installing a different rom and many other things and have tried several times to flash it back to oem software (UK H3G0 but it jusst keeps failing can anybody try and decipher what to do next to get my phone working again please.
thanks

Did something happen to it, or did you just notice it is not connecting?
The most easy things first, is your sim card correctly in place?
Which ROM are you on and have you reflashed it?

The phone started with problems since I upgraded to Android Pie, I have taken care of it very well but I do not know if it is a hardware failure, but note that in baseband turns out to be unknown, I installed several stock roms from fastboot without any success, also I thought it would be a problem of the EFS partition, but everything is fine I even took a backup in case the doubts, what could happen?

Did you originally update via OTA, meaning, was it the official update?
Then when you noticed it's not working, you tried to flash several stock ROMs?
One possible problem that comes to mind, is that for some reason, you have the wrong radio/modem firmware. That can happen for example, if you have flashed a ROM, which is not meant for your region.

Yes, upgrade to Android pie via OTA
I already put a stock rom of the same region, following each fastboot command one by one, but everything continues the same, I even installed RROS 7, to see if at least it turned on the wifi, and it is in bootloop.

Go with the modding guide index: how to restore stock ROM etc., and flash a stock ROM that you know will work. Flash the radio/modem file too, and make sure it's the correct one.
Just to say, I had connection problems too, and in the end they were because the sim card did not latch correctly in place i.e. was not correctly in place.

Great that you have an idea. ?
Here's an idea: take a backup of your current config in twrp, move it to the computer, take a copy. Replace the files in that copy with the ones that you want to flash.
Did you mean this? You are aware that you can try different radio/modem files through fastboot, not having to flash everything else every time? That said, go with your idea. ?

Ok, but WiFi should work even if there is no mobile data available.

Hello, colud you solve the problem? Because I am havig a very similar one...
Hello group friends, I'm new here. I have a similar problem, I was using the Havoc 2.4 rom, when upgrading to 2.6 I no longer recognize my SIM card and the wi-fi does not connect, I can not install another rom anymore, nor rom stock, recovery TRWP has been replaced by the Havoc and the Wipe System function does not work, and for a few days you can not stay in recovery mode anymore, it restarts every 3 seconds, not the time to click the options. Can someone help me. I'm without a cell phone, and I need it.
I have a similar issue after flashing the latest firmware. SIM goes to "SIM locked" every ten seconds or so, and Wifi drops at the same tie. It's like networking is being reset every 10 seconds. No network settings I've tried change that.
I've flashed several stock ROMs; the one I had previously, newest, oldest, both for RETEU and retail. I used Lenovo restore to upgrade but that resulted in soft brick, after that I flashed the latest firmware via Fastboot and that's when the problem started.
With Oreo, wifi and cellular don't work at all, nothing detected. With Pie they're connected and dropped in a loop. I can't help thinking that the Lenovo restore broke this somehow, but modem files have been reflashed several times after that with no change. I'm not getting the baseband error.

I have the exact same problem, I wasn't able to repair it so I sent it to service and tomorrow they will try to fix it for $35. The problem with goign back to previous versions is that you loose the IMEI and MAC . The problem with the pie version I believe is the baseband. If the service is able to fix it I will post the solution here for you to fix it .

I believe you already tried puting it into bootloader mode. If that's the case, I had a similar problem recently an it solved alone, I let it loop for a while and suddenly fell, into dtock recovey, i factory reset (with stock recovery) and somehow stock was booted ( i believe it was because it was in inactive slot).
Hope this helps you

I am still working on this, I actually did this to a work phone (I had permission to root/unroot). Something that has helped me so far is just getting familiar with the whole flashing process - https://android.gadgethacks.com/how...actory-images-android-using-fastboot-0175277/. I think from this article the problem lies in the modem/radio rom. That *should* be the only thing you need to flash on. However, I have noticed with a lot of roms on here, a modem rom is not included on the stock firmware. But that needs to match well to your phone from what I understand. I have tried a few modem roms already, unfortunately, but no luck.
I originally posted this on the Lineage 16.0 thread, but I figured it might not hurt to post this in a stand-alone thread.
I'm having some issues with the baseband/wifi after successfully flashing Lineage 16.0
I did do a complete nandroid backup in TWRP before flashing the copy-partitions-ab.zip, and I followed the instructions at the beginning of the thread, sideloaded the ROM, and it booted just fine, but I kept getting "No SIM card inserted" . Now when I try to restore the EFS and Persistent partitions from the backup, I still don't get a working baseband...
I even tried restoring the backup I made previously, but I still was not able to make the baseband work. I then tried flashing this stock ROM: https://forum.xda-developers.com/g6-plus/how-to/rom-official-stock-pie-9-ppw29-116-11-t3892935 through fastboot, and since this hasn't fixed the problem, I tried restoring the EFS and Persistent partitions from the backup, but still no go.
Does anyone know what I can do to fix this? Not being able to receive/make calls or connect to a wifi network basically renders this phone useless...
Seems the problem was that I didn't flash the correct version of the stock rom. The linked thread has the first version of the Pie stock OS, while previously I updated the phone two times after the Pie update. Flashing the latest version of the stock rom brought back the IMEI numbers and the WiFi MAC address. After seeing that the problem was fixed, I decided to try flashing the Lineage ROM, and that worked as well. Not sure what happened, but I'm glad I was able to fix it with no hassle.
You can get all versions of the stock ROM here: https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/evert/official/RETEU/

After seeing that the problem was fixed, I decided to try flashing the Lineage ROM, and that worked as well. Not sure what happened, but I'm glad I was able to fix it with no hassle.
You can get all versions of the stock ROM here:

Thanks man, you saved me ! I tried everything to restore IMEI on my G6 Plus, and that was the only thing that worked. Like you said, I flashed the newest firmware for my channel (RETEU), from the link you provided. I was going to get crazy to solve this !

How did you get updated? asks for the OEM Unlock and I can't do the unlock because I don't have wifi or 4g to connect to the internet, which is a must for OEM unlock. How did you install new stock without oem unlocking?

The restore of the stock firmware can be done through fastboot and you don't need to unlock the bootloader for that. Just search on Google and you'll find a lot of guides to do that

I originally posted this on the Lineage 16.0 thread, but I figured it might not hurt to post this in a stand-alone thread.
I'm having some issues with the baseband/wifi after successfully flashing Lineage 16.0
I did do a complete nandroid backup in TWRP before flashing the copy-partitions-ab.zip, and I followed the instructions at the beginning of the thread, sideloaded the ROM, and it booted just fine, but I kept getting "No SIM card inserted" . Now when I try to restore the EFS and Persistent partitions from the backup, I still don't get a working baseband...
I even tried restoring the backup I made previously, but I still was not able to make the baseband work. I then tried flashing this stock ROM: https://forum.xda-developers.com/g6-plus/how-to/rom-official-stock-pie-9-ppw29-116-11-t3892935 through fastboot, and since this hasn't fixed the problem, I tried restoring the EFS and Persistent partitions from the backup, but still no go.
Does anyone know what I can do to fix this? Not being able to receive/make calls or connect to a wifi network basically renders this phone useless...

Thank you!!! It is the only solution for the problem of WIFI not working and without MAC. The NO IME is solved and SIM recognized.
Hold the Collective Knowledge!
Cheers
nope
