IMEI & baseband 'Unknown' after installing ROM - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

Ever since I've flashed latest SuperMan-Rom V1.5.1 using TWRP 2.0.3-0, Since then I lost IMEI, baseband etc, I can't even able to place/receive any calls. Baseband version is 'Unknown' and IMEI & IMEISV (slot 1 & slot2 ) are 'Unknown' too. Any ideas how to resolve this? Thanks in advance.

You wiped your basband. Did you install incorrect CSC files. Same thing happened to me with the Superman Rom. Got to back up your efs in the future.

How do I make sure if I use to correct firmware or CSC files? Thanks for your help

So check this out. Try this. Go download your odin for your phone. You can download anyone. Just makensure it is newer or the same as what you have. After you add everything to Odin, click option tab and make sure Phone EFS Clear and Phone Bootloader Update are checked. Then flash the odin rom. Lmk if that works.

No luck so far, as I checked both buttons to install the firmware I downloaded from Sammobile site. So my phone origin county is Vietnam, any idea which firmware should I use?

Did you backup EFS before install the ROM?

No, I did not.

Go download smart Switch, boot your phone to download mode. In samsing smart switch click more emergency firmware initialization then click the other tab.... itll ask for your model numeber then a window below will ask for your serial. When it accepts it, it will attempt to restore it. It will show you the rom that came with your phone. Right that down. Let it do its thing. There is another thread on this forum you will need the binary for your phone.

Likewise if you can get into twrp, use the file manager to delete everything in the efs folder. And actually you dont need the original rom. Just download apdn or apdu. But you will nees the binary too.

'SM-G935FD' does not support initializing, Please contact our service center.

Your best bet is that guide to restore your imei and baseband. Do that.

So guys if you are getting a DRK error after flashing the Odin restore? GO ahead and try flashing Chainfire's root. This will get the phone to boot up, that is after you flash the Binary and then the Odin rom, the flash chainfire. Remember, you will have to flash Chainfire going forward forever, every time you use Odin to restore them room. Otherwise, youtherwise you will get a device root key error and refuse to boot up.

Did you flash the Binary of the Rom?
Follow the directions in this rom. See after you flash the Binary Odin, if your IMEI shows up. If it does flash the Odin Full restores, any , it doesn't matter. You will get a DRK error or you should, then Flash Chainfire
http://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/how-to/guide-how-to-fix-check-drk-imei-issues-t3379516
After this if you get DRK errors, Flash Chainfires CF-Root.

Thanks for your suggestion, I've tried flash Binary(exactely followed the steps), Kies urgent recovery, but nothing help, im going to try edit my broken EFS file.

Wait, you don't restore it with Kies, you have to use Smart Switch, then choose more... Emergency Firmware Initialization... Then enter your model number and then it will ask for your serial.
So when you flash the Binary, there is a secret menu, top left corner, click it and then you should see all these menu buttons, choose settings. It will look like stock Android. Go down to backup and reset, and fully wipe through that. Then flash the Binary, see if you get an imei in the IMei screen remember you have to type *#06# in the screen keypad. If you see your imei, good, power down, boot into download mode, and flash the Full Odin Rom.... If you get DRK error, flash Chain Fire CF-Root.
---------- Post added at 02:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:01 AM ----------
*********Disclaimer********** If you get your device working, you willl always need to flash Chainfire CF-Root to get it booting, no matter which Odin rom you flash. Don't ever uncheck oem unlock, then you will not be able to flash Chainfire and your device is bricked for good.

One other thing when you are flashing in Odin, make sure you check Phone EFS Clear and also Phone Bootloader Update

I did everything you said, first I recovered by using Smartswitch, then checked OEM Unlock and flashed binary. After boot in Binary I checked the secret menu and did a wipe in settings from that secret menu. Then I flashed the Binary again via Odin. I dialed *#06# after reboot but imei is still missing. While stay in the Binary screen about 3 mins, the screen became black and display "CP CRASH UPLOAD MODE".
I appreciate your help bro... maybe it will be solved in next few weeks, I feel tired with flashing and flashing, maybe it's time to go with IOS series lol.

LOL don't stop there, but take a break. That is what I did, god I flashed so many times.
When you are rested......
Next step Flash the regular Odin Restore rom, this is different from the binary. BTW, try taking your SIM card out of the phone when you do this. If your phone boots up after the Odin restore, see what your baseband is. If it doesn't root it, then install twrp. I went into TWRP and used the file manager to delete everything in the efs files. I think something gets backed up or stored there from the bad csc files we flashed. No matter how often we flash, they are still there. Delete everything in the efs folder. Then go back to download mode.... Flash Binary.... Then Flash Odin Restore Rom.... Then Chainfire Auto-CF root.
While doing all this, check these options in Odin Clear Phone EFS, and Phone Boot Loader, I have also wiped the NVRAm option and Also repartitioned.

Thank you very much bro, I will try more tonight. I always backup my EFS in the internal storage, but yestarday I flashed superman 1.5 accidently wiped the entire internal storage lol... I was like what the f....
I will let you know the result. Again, thank you so much for the help

And if you are able try to restore through Samsung Smart Switch. It won't work after the restore, but honestly all are an attempt to repair what was done with Superman Rom.
After the Odin Restore, try Chainfire. The rom may look to be chain rebooting. Force it restart yourself.

You both are running custom kernels. You have four options:
(1) Freeze the app called SEAndroid using Titanium Backup or a similar app.
(2) Use Titanium or a similar app to uninstall the KNOX application.
(3) Use Root Explorer or a similar app to browse to /system/app and delete all files beginning with KNOX
(4) Flash the stock kernel.

What kernel are you running? Try a different custom kernel. I can assure you that the messages have nothing to do with your inability to activate wifi. That message is a well known issue.

kernel version says 3.4.0-529760 [email protected] #1 Sat Apr 27 18:12:21 KST 2013.
my baseband ends in mdc and build number ends in mdl. Would that have any effect on it? I can't flash any other roms in rom manager because my 3g is too slow and an error occurs every time I try to flash it.

Well it seems you're running an older kernel on a newer rom. without knowing the ROM I'd suggest you run a new kernel. I use this. It should work well for you.
Make sure you download the correct version. Use ASOP if you're running and ASOP ROM like CM. Use Touchwiz if you're running a Touchwiz ROM.

Thanks. I'll try it out. I'm just running the stock rom. That's the only rom that I'm having wifi problems with.
I'm relatively new to using odin so when I try to flash the kernal i click on pda but the zip file isn't listed. What do?

Ahhh it's not flashable in ODIN. you'll need to install a custom recovery via ODIN and then flash it. I use TWRP 2.5.0.2. It seems to be the most stable.
1) Click this and download the odin flashable version of TWRP.
2) Open ODIN. Click PDA select the file you downloaded
3) click START.
4) your phone will reboot.
Now you have TWRP installed. To flash a zip file:
1) save it to your sd card.
2) Boot into recovery. (to boot into recovery just reboot your phone. when you feel it vibrate press the volume up button until it boots into recovery)
3) click the INSTALL button.
4) find the zip file on your SDCARD. select it.
5) swipe to flash
6) press the wipe cache/dalvik button.
That's it.

okay gotcha. that makes more sense. Didn't think you could install a zip with odin but wasn't sure. When I install different recoveries in odin I can't flash my recoveries and that's why I was trying to get cwm recovery. Thank you for your help. I'll let you know how it goes.

you can take new backups with TWRP.
also CM10 is great but ASOP roms in my opinion are for more experienced users. I'd play around with the stock Touchwiz rom first.
I've been getting this error all day today. I'm on MDL ROM. I restored it from my previous CM10.1 installation. While I was on CM10.1, I flashed the MF9 firmware. Later that day I did a factory reset in recovery and restored my previous NANDROID MDL backup. I started getting this Prevention Information error.
My baseband was MF9 while my build number was MDL. I read that I had to put the MDL firmware back on the phone. I got the MDL firmware from this link here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2338919 . After using ODIN to put the firmware back on, I went into TWRP and cleared cache and dalvik and rebooted. I'm still getting the error even though baseband and build number are both MDL.
Any ideas? Thanks!

Just odin full mf9 stock tar. This happens because of different firmware versions together or if your rooted and such just use any root file explorer and delete all apps in system that begin with knox
Downgrade
But if I go to an older stock then I receive update notifications again and that is something I see even more annoying than selecting inform me no sooner than in 30 days option offered by Prevention information popup. Correct? Or when flashing stock through Odin again (not downgrade but doing the same thing again but through Odin) the problem dissapears?

If you go to mf9 thats the newest update we have really so you wouldnt get a update notification. But theres three ways to solve your problem. One odin back to stock MDL and accept then accept the update. Or second you can reflash the same firmware you have again thru odin to make sure everythin is where its suppose to be or 3rd use a root file explorer and in system/apps delete every app that begins with knox.
Also i had the same problem after i updated the S4, my problem was with K9-email client i just remove it and all things now are good.

[Q] Problem creating a TWRP Custom Recovery with Odin

Hi everyone. I have followed the YouTube video by Chris Nacca (http://youtu.be/Ov6BXOu7SwA)that uses TWRP 2.5 custom recovery (file: openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.2-jfltexx.tar) on my unlocked GT-i9505 S4 using Odin 3.07. Unfortunately, despite the message from Odin indicates all worked fine (<ID:0/004> RES OK !!), on rebooting my phone back into Recovery mode, I am greeted with the Android character telling me there is an Error and then "dying" and saying "No Command".
The phone isn't bricked as I can move the highlight bar through the various menu options at the top left-hand side of the screen and reboot back via my stock ROM but clearly the Custom Recovery hasn't been installed correctly and, despite the Message screen in Odin showing <OSM> All threads completed. (success 1 / failed 0).
I have a rooted and unlocked GT-I9505 with a baseband reading as: I9505ZHUZME1. Anyone got any ideas or advice as to what may have gone wrong as if I can't sort this out I can't move to a custom ROM. :crying:
Many thanks in advance, Jim

Thanks for your reply. Being new to Android, am I correct in assuming that I merely download the last .tar file from the page you provided the link to and install it as I did the TWRP custom recovery file using Odin? Am I right in believing this will leave me with my Stock ROM but I can then do a Nandroid Backup and move to a custom ROM from there when I am ready?

use the above link which is PHILZ recovery
Edit : u have to have ur phone into download mode which u can go by
power off device unplug press volume down home power all together till u get download mode and connect to device
the file extension will be .tar use it on PDA at odin and flash it
then u can take a backup of the entire current firmware and keep it to safe place like PC Hard drive and move to ROMS

Thanks. One (hopefully) last question: The link you provided has both *.zip and *.tar.md5 files. I presume you mean I should use the latter, and do I need to remove the last portion (.md5) to make it a *.tar file or use it as is in Odin 3.07?

User .tar one philz_touch_5.06.6-i9505.tar.md5 since u dont have recovery
No need to remove md5
Odin 3.07 is fine use
below line is Just for info
Zip files are " flashable made" can be used if a one is already having recovery etc like how u flash a rom from recovery

Sorry, back again. I have done as you suggested (twice) and still can't get my phone to install a custom recovery. While Odin once again reports a successful install (as it did when installed the TWRP custom recovery), when I reboot back into custom recovery mode after installing PhilZ Touch custom recovery (as indicated by the blue text on the start-up screen), I no longer get the dying Android figure as I did when installed TWRP custom recovery, but the screen goes to a black, vibrates and then the phone reboots normally (which is a relief). So, needless to say - I am stumped. Can you or anyone else offer any suggestions?

I m assuming u have some issue with root
So first use the above link and root the device downlaoding the .tar file
and then flash the recovery as u did earlier u should have root and recovery both
and all this process is abt 10 mins

Definitely a rooted phone. I have SuperUser on it and a range of applications from Titanium Backup, ROM Toolbox, GooManager etc all confirm that they have root access.

Ok can u tell me how u have rooted the phone ?
Also download a app from play store "root checker" and see what its saying
possibly the recovery is not getting installed on phone coz of some root access
Edit : Superuser etc can be there from play store without root also wont work thought

Happy to try but could you point me to how I get back to stock firmware and then reset the device? I thought I was still using stock firmware (rooted I understand) so I think you must mean that I need to unroot my phone some how, reboot and then use the rooting process you just posted before install Philz recovery. Would you mind describing a little more - I know I have taken up a lot of your time but greatly apprecriate your help,

U can download the stock firmware from ur device I9505 will be abt 1.4 gb
once downloaded extract in a folder then flash using Odin pda - need to select .tar here again as u did b4 for recovery flashng etc
This will flash a Firmware and u will have stock phone unrooted
from there reset the device from ur phone which will remoce all the bad files etc and all the data also from ur Internal phone memory
after that as told Root and install recovery hope fully this will work without issues

Okay, got all that. I am surprised that you can flash stock firmware back on to your phone as I was under the impression you needed a custom recovery installed before you could add a custom ROM. Is that purely a "safety" precaution and I could bite the bullet and install a custom ROM now (should I be silly enough to try)? I do have may SYSTEM, APPS and USER data back up. Obviously I will loose everything on my phone doing this but can I expect that I can restore the APPs and USER data from my existing backup but not attempt to do this will the system files in fear of recreating the current problem?

Yes u can flash stock with Odin no need to install recovery for that..Custom recovery is needed mostly to flash custom Roms more or less u can say
and this method is 100% safe as long as u do properly
make sure u have 60% plus battery on the phone dont disconnect while its running / installing
and dont re install backup u have taken b4 with system files etc myte create plm
rather use titanium / mybackup pro app just to backup messages/ apps etc and save it else where or SD card for later use

Hi, I have done as suggested and flashed the stock ROM and performed a hard Reset. I didn't expect the flashing of the ROM would leave all my apps and screens as they were. Is that normal? I did confirm that the baseband number had changed, which is has. I then moved on to install the root as suggested and all seems to have worked well with the red Android figure appearing. Unfortunately SuperSU is complaining of not having the necessary binary files and Root Checker doesn't seem to be able to determine whether I have rooted phone or not as it just sits there complaining that my system seem slow. Any advice? Thanks.

Yes flashing a stock firmware using Odin keeps all the files and data intact however we should do Reset from the device imm to get rid of all the issue coming from the old used files/ custom files etc could be anything i cant say
have u tried updating SU etc from play store try that
And u have used CF ROOT method rite ??
After flashing the Firmware using odin did u reset the device from phone Back up & Reset option ? deleting all the apps etc u had B4

Hi, yes I tried SU from play store - same issue. I also reset from the Backup and Reset option on the phone which did delete all the apps etc so to the best of my knowledge, I followed all the steps as described by you and on the various pages you gave me links to.
I have just tried SuperUser. It noted the binaries were old but when it attempted to update, said it "failed" to gain root access. Despite getting the confirmatory Red Android after the root process, I now wonder if it didn't go entirely as planned despite trying 2-3 times....?

SM-G900F Root Help

hello guys, i have a Samsung galaxy S5 (SM-G900F)
i installed the latest OTA updates,but today i tried to root my device with CF-auto root file,odin did successfully but the phone didn't restart,it keep saying
recovery rooting,
recovery is not standadid enforcing or something like that
set warranty bit : recovery
it keep saying for like 10min but nothing showed up,then i flashed phiztouch recovery file,then the device reboot successfully but after i went to the recovery mode,there is no phiztouch recovery,its the stock recovery
can anyone help me to root the device n to install a phiztouch recovery
CF Auto Root should have worked, I'd try that again
Make sure you use the G900F version
Run ODIN as Admin
Only have F.Reset Time and Auto Reboot ticked in ODIN
Obviously phone in download mode
--
Other alternatives are to flash TWRP with ODIN, then SuperSU from TWRP

No luck bro,i installed Cf auto root file like 3 times,still it keep saying the same thing,then i installed TWRP
its successfully boots up,but when i go to the recovery still i have the stock recovery :'( :'(
Are you using a native PC to flash with ODIN?
Got the Samsung drivers installed?
Mine is the G900F and CF auto root works fine with all firmwares to date, wonder if your bootloader is locked?

Same problem here
Odin 3 V1.85 does everthing correctly, then phone boots correctly, but when I go to recovery, still stock:crying:
Could it be that it has something to do with lollipop 5.0?
Please advice
So long as your bootloader is unlocked, CF Auto Root works fine with the G900F and all Android versions up to the latest

Yes I did.
This is what I did step by step:
I have odin 3V1.85 installed on my pc and from there I followed all instructions
I put following file in PDA. philz_touch_6.26.6-klte.tar.md5
After that phone rebooted succesfully. But when I want to enter recovery it gives me a warning sign and it enters stock recovery
Android system recovery <3e>
LRX21T.G900FXXU1BNL9
I have flashed alot of roms with my previous phone but this is new for me.
So again appolize for all the "stupid"questions!
I hope someone knows the solution.
Hmm odd, i had the exact same problem when rooting about 3 days ago, now it works but i can't for the life of me figure out how i managed to get it to work. Ill get back to you.

Ok guys, try this.
1. Download philz kernel that matches your modem number. I think philz_touch_6.26.6-klte.tar.md5 works good.
2. Put it in ODIN on PDA/AP
3. Uncheck "Auto Reboot" and make sure Re-Partition is NOT CHECKED (keep F. Reset time)
4. Flash
5. It will say RESET on Odin and nothing further when it is done so just wait 2-3 minutes when RESET appears to be entirely sure that the procedure is done.
6. Pull out phones battery.
7. Put it back in and now go into Recovery directly (Vol up+home+power)
8. ???
9. Profit
Hopefully this might work, i think i did the same

Soft Brick??

Hello all,
Today I updated a custom ROM on my rooted Phone (android 7) . In the aroma installer i select no root. After a good restart i though i root my Phone true Odin. I was thinking it went all good till it was stuck on te Galaxy s7 edge black screen. I couldnt do nothing. After that i was thinking to flash to stock. Every time i try to flash true Odin it give me fail.
Please help me.
Best regards Sidi
Hi there, I have same issue, have s7 edge sm-G935F stuck at logo. I downloaded 2 different firmware from z3x box(shell) and if keep failing when using odin (latest) and also getting error when using Samsung tool.Also I can't get in the phone menu to check the baseband..can only get model from download model.any advice to this?
Same issue as well on my sm-g985v Verizon variant
Flashed an update to work out minor lagging bugs and soft bricked my S7. Can access bootloader and recovery. Beyond that, the phone gets there but with black screen and it is sputtering off and on. Tried reflashing stock firmware with odin, and its not taking. Running into a permission error while trying to write the image. Anyone here have any ideas?

Is this a 935F? Where did you download the orginal firmware from and what version of Odin u use?
When I root my phone I always use the steps from this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-e...0-0-0-t3334084
Have never run into issues.
Flash twrp trough Odin first, let the phone start
Boot into TWRP, format phone with the options you have to type YES, then install dm-verity force encryption disabler
Now restart TWRP
Then flash the Supersu file from the thread.
Now restart phone

Download orginal firmware fro sammobile, unpack and flash with Odin 3.12.3.
Download the firmware from your area, the one that comes with your phone.
Use the right regional code and everything when you download firmware.
Also, have you guys flashed the right bootloader and modem beforehand?

So you flashed a beta firmware, the name of which you don't feel is necessary information.
OK. Shame I hate popcorn. How about INFORMATION instead?!

Boot into TWRP, format phone with the options you have to type YES, then install dm-verity force encryption disabler
Now restart TWRP
Then flash the Supersu file from the thread.
Now restart phone

Download orginal firmware fro sammobile, unpack and flash with Odin 3.12.3.
Download the firmware from your area, the one that comes with your phone.
Use the right regional code and everything when you download firmware.
Also, have you guys flashed the right bootloader and modem beforehand?

It was my understanding it was already in the package. Questioning that one now. Where do i look for that? And thank you for responding back. Downloading your first suggestions as i type this...
I have downloaded two non branded firmware for the Netherlands from samdroid. I had unpacked the zip and flashed the files. For the csc selection I put the one named home csc

When downloading original firmware there should be 4 files when unzip.
1 for each of the options in Odin, without the last one named home.
Some of the custom roms comes with bootloader and modem, but NOT ALL.
Most times you have to flash the right bootloader and modem in Odin beforehand to get the phone to boot.
Im unsure of what has happened because I have never run into issues myself.
If you can not get the phone to boot with firmware from Sammobile and Odin flash I am out of options.
If I do experience a problem like this I would:
-install bootloader and modem according to the custom rom used. Try and flash these with odin more than ones, if not working.
-if no recovery, try flash recovery again
-try flash another custom rom then another custom rom
-return to stock firmware downloaded trough Sammobile
If none of these options work im out of things to do, sorry
The times I have experienced phone stuck on Samsung logo, it has been because of bootloader and/or modem.
Flashing the right ones have always fixed the problem.
That said, I have never experienced problems with returning to stock firmware trough Odin, maybe one time.
And this time my firmware download was corrupted.

This is wrong, you should use the file named only CSC.
Home_CSC, is to keep your setup on phone as is.
I also remember that you have to remove the meta data directory, and then repack firmware or the install will stop.
And this is also NOT a good option if you use another firmware than the original on phone.
Installing firmware with Odin, always use BL, AP, CP and CSC.
Try this and forget about the Home_CSC.
I don't have anymore info, sorry
Thank you very much. I will try it. I will let you know.
Gentlemen, my appreciations and thanks. Was able to finally get the stock firmware to grab. After more time disecting the problem i learned about and was able to uncover the maintenance boot screen. There it had the option to do usb debug . Once i hit that, next flash finished fully. It must of reser in the dev options after the initial root. Damn, i was sweating balls for a bit thinking i must of hard bricked it somehow. I will take it throufh the toot process later today glitch free i imagine. Thanks again for assisting,

Buy pressing and holding power and volume down key, until you get to the screen.
Same procedure as download mode, but without the big button

Even this thread is old:
Thank you so much, bricked my phone unknowingly flashing custom recovery using a defektive usb port struggling to get it working again. This worked like a charm.
Don´t understand why the orthers did struggle with that method.

S7 Bootloop

I have just rooted my phone to fix my efs partition finally. I unrooted my phone. I went and clicked uninstall on magisk and went into settings and factory reset my phone. It rebooted and TWRP said something that i forgot. I slid the bar and now I am stuck in an endless bootloop with installing updates and then no command. What do I do now? I have tried to reflash firmware with odin and tried to redo recovery but it is not working. The recovery comes up with an error 'Device 4 Binary 0'.

The odin error tells you that you're trying to flash an old firmware. Use latest stock firmware(released in October) and no error should comeup.
stock firmware

so i flashed the phone, it looked good so far, it said installing updates and erasing then when i try too turn it on its still says no command. I think this phone is permanalty bricked after i factory reset it i will have too get a new phone now. :crying:
The strange thing is that when i open download mode it says that current binary is samsung official but the system status is custom as i had it rooted before. Can this mean anything?

The phone should reboot itself once your odin install in complete.
Connect phone to pc
Put all the stuff in odin Ap Cp Bl and csc
Go to options and select nand erase and autoreboot and repartition.
Flash

If this doesn't work either flash TWRP again and install a custom rom.
