X522 no service after update to 5.8.021s? - LeEco Le 2 Guides, News, & Discussion

Bought this phone last week off ebay thought I would update the firmware so I found the 5.8.021s file and did the update ZIP. It updated fine and everything worked except the phone. It shows the sim card as t-mobile with my phone number and cellular data calls and messages as t-mobile but when I try search for network I get "error searching for network". I tried different sims that I know are good and nothing works. I would return it to the original firmware but I wasn't smart enough to back it up. I would flash a new modem if I knew how maybe that is the problem. I have an x829 as my daily driver this was going to be a birthday gift.
Baseband MPSS TA 2.1 c700008-8976 GEN PACK-1.85233.30.76286.2
EUI version 5.8.021S
Thanks in advance.

Exactly the same issue here, was using the 21s firmware as my daily driver and suddenly the sim stopped working, in settings / about phone / status, I can still see the network and phone number being read but no network service at all.
I have tried flashing as dead phone, and updating roms back to 21s but nothing has worked so far, also different modems but nothing still.
The more I read the more common I see this problem is on Le Eco phones !!
Help anyone !!

Fixed it. Installed the small EUI by aurel. He had a note about my predicament on the first page. Great ROM for me and a big thank you to him. So here is what I did. Probably would have worked on the 21s too.
1. Download the adb, fastboot drivers
2. Install it on your PC.
3. Restart the phone in fastboot mode (power + vol down)
4. Type this commands in the terminal:
Quote:
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot reboot
5. Done.
Thanks again

This is where mine had bigger problems, I had IMEI for both sims and MEID but after losing signal and trying this advice lost all information and baseband !! ( stupidly I forgot to backup this info )
At the moment I am screwed, I have managed to get back baseband and IMEI numbers but still no MEID ( zeroed out ), I am guessing because it is a global phone it needs some kind of MEID / ESN even if I am not using CDMA at all !!
...Or I 'm missing something stupid ?!
Tried *#*#4636#*#* and in to try to turn on radio but nothing , even tried with various sim cards but still no signal even with IMEI and baseband good !! Just can't switch on radio !
Any ideas would be great !!

Crap, so sorry for you. You might put a question in the questions and answers section. I should have put a note in saying that I have no idea what I'm doing. This happened to work for me after only four days of screwing around with this stupid phone trying to figure out how to put a new ROM in. My patience had almost run out and next I was going to do a crush test video matching the phone against my 4 door Dodge Ram pickup. Best of luck to all.

Not your fault man, I need someone to upload a backed up EFS/ QCN file from the X522 model specifically and I can change the IMEI back to my original one and try to figure out how to get the radio switched on to receive signal !! The problem I see here is the MEID numer being zeros and LeEco don't put this number on the box with the rest of the IMEI's etc. I always thought this wasn't needed if I'm not using CDMA but I don't know if it is a must on global phones !!

I installed the small EUI ROM by aurel and that is where the bright idea of deleting those two files came from. The new ROM turned my X522 into a X526. I think the base ROM is 5.9.26S. The only reason I originally messed around was I wanted the nav lights at the bottom to stay lit. They do now.
I don't think these phones have a MEID number since they aren't CDMA but like I said I know nothing.

Make sure to backup and then erase the two modem data partitions as well. You can find the fastboot commands in the XML of the firmware packages.

Modem file for dual sim
Can anyone please share modem file for dual sim model as I've accidentally selected radio band as USA and hence won't get the network in sim slot 1. Also, if possible, please share link to a step by step tutorial as I'm a novice. Also plz tell me if flashing is possible without using a pc and will the warranty of the phone get void. A prompt response will be highly appreciated.
Thanks
I think Flashify can flash without an external device BUT having the OS (Android) running with all the options for locks and alarms would scare me.
I do _think_ that flashing original Motorola signed binaries will not void anything, to be more precise: With a locked bootloader such procedure should be impossible.
Before you flash a baseband (modem; for which we'd need your current version - see "my phone"), I would recommend just erasing modem setttings. I suspect this is where the modem config is permanently stored so erasing it should set this to default.
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
I would assume that after you boot, your device crashes once - so it does for me after flashing the modem. Happens when I make the first call. So just try calling your mailbox or something.
Again, I can't and I won't gurantee anything. You warranty is void!
Here's the version of baseband my phone has got.
tinypic.com/r/2ntb49c/9
I strongly suggest you try the fix above before going after this. This reflashes your modem which might be unnecessary.
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
The modem files are in the download, the ones you are looking for are in:

Thanks a lot, erasing the modems did it for me.
Many thanks mate.
Great. You can hit the "Thanks" button if you appreciate it.
I could fix my phone by erasing modems, after doing that I performed a factory reset, but now I've another problem. Installing apk files takes longer time than it would take earlier, does it have to do anything with the problem I was facing earlier?
That does not make sense - it just takes longer on the Moto X; I've experienced the same...
But it was pretty fast before doing the reset, I tried further resets, both hardware as well as software, but to no avail. The installation process is very slow, it took Facebook app atleast 5 minutes to install from apk file. Even installs from market take time and it's annoying.
See my other thread just posted. Assume this is because installs need to be converted from Dalvik to ART.
I know it was a lot faster under e.g. 4.4.2. But you sure it was also for any device with 5+?
I used this device for 2 days before messing up with radio band, i didn't face this problem during those 2 days and i used a Moto g3 for three months, didn't face this problem with that either. And it's dead slow, like currently my fb app is updating in background, it already has taken 12 minutes and is asking for another 3 minutes for a 45mb update.
I guess getting this phone replaced is the safest bet for me, as i have witnessed one more problem. When i keep the phone aside and pick it up after some time i see some strange coloured vertical lines on display at the right with rest of the screen being black. It gets right only when i lock and unlock the screen with power key. Any idea what it could be?
Hardware issue?! I would try and see what happens when you reflash it to full factory but that's of course only what I would do.

Network not registered issue

Hi Guys,
I am writing this Thread believing that I will get a solution as Yota company has not provided any solution after 15 days trouble shooting. I just brought the phone from Russian seller through eBay.com to India and after 2 months of fight from the local customs office I just got my phone. I was very happy and was floating in air to have the first dual screen phone in my hand. The phone was flawless with dual screen was working awesome. The phone came with lollipop update. I switched on the phone with out inserting the simcard, the phone prompted for a small 350 MB update and I just update the phone. Then I just inserted the Simcard after which i started facing issue. The issue was the phone is able to read and shoe the service provider name but there was no network signal and it was showing only emergency calls. When i tried to make calls it showed network no registered. I tried with different simcard which resulted in the same issue. I though it might be a simcard issue and checked with my old phone but there was no simcard issue. So i just contacted the Yota tech team through mail to help me on this issue. They asked me do some basic troubleshooting but there was no use after 15 days they asked me to ship the phone to nearest service center which is in Russia. The issue is to and back from Russia customs will cost me the price of 2 Yotaphone fist generation phone price. So I through of resolving this issue myself and researched in online. I found that Samsung phones were also facing the same issue after update and tried all the solutions given in internet but there was no use. Finally there was a solution asking to root the phone and install the ariza patch which would solve the issue. I just rooted my phone and when I installed the ariza it showed it was not compilable for yotaphone 2. I just searched in XDA forums and could not find anyone reporting the similar issue with a solution. So I through of creating new thread in hope of getting a solution in this issue. Please help me in this issue by creating a patch or any solution which will me help me out of this. I am not able to use the phone as the basic call function is not even working reset the phone is a heaven.:crying::crying::crying:

Do you still have this problem?
I wasn't sure at first, I thought it was my sim card, but I have tried 2 different networks sims and they both get no signal in my Yotaphone 2...
The network's name does appear, so the sim must be being read somewhat, but I always get no signal.
I literally have no idea what to do.
I too turned the phone on without a simcard, flashed the RU latest rom, flashed TWRP, rooted it etc, surely that has nothing to do with it...?
@bharath9962 ! I fixed it!
I have no idea why this happened, and I spent a few hours trying to fix it, very angry. I downgraded to 4.4 to see if it would help, put back the native China rom that came with my phone (accidentally deleted my backup too...)
I bought a new sim card just for this phone because the old one did not 'work'.
This is not a popular phone so it's hard to find information, anyway... I'm very relieved now. I can only imagine you gave up...
I found the answer here - thewichitacomputerguy.com/blog/how-i-fixed-your-sim-card-does-not-allow-connection-network-g1
1. Open the phone dialer
2. Enter: *#*#4636#*#* (Once entered, you will be taken directly to a "Testing" page) [4636 spells INFO]
3. Tap Phone Information
4. Scroll to the bottom of the screen and you should see a button that says radio off. Hit this button and when it reads radio on Hit it again to turn the radio back on. <-- (Not a Typo)
I rebooted and waited a few seconds, no signal. I turned on airplane mode, turned it off, and it worked!
Now I can go back to RU 1.99 and reinstall all my stuff...

My country is in Asia but I believe this does not matter - the problem was that somehow the radio (cell phone function) was 'off'/glitched, and had to be turned on+off to make the phone function again. Using a different country's sim card would not fix this problem.
As I wrote above, we both share the fact that we first turned our phones on with no sim, and updated. Maybe just a coincidence...
Just try the guide and please let me know if it is fixed!

Hello!
I try to figure out what you did but I get stucked in number 10.
Actually I flashed my Yotaphone with the chinese radio the first time, but I don't get good connectivity.
Anyways I try to do what you wrote, but when I tipe the first line (first fastboot command), cmd keep saying waiting for the device... maybe is that I'm impatient but nothing happens.
I try other USB ports and nothing works...
So actually I don't know if I'm doing it right or if I have to wait for a longer period of time (10 minutes or more).
Any help would much appreciated.
Cheers!
Hi there,
you don't have ADB drivers installed. Google for "universal adb driver" and install. There is driver included with yota 5.0 firmware (C:\Program Files (x86)\yotaphone_flasher\Driver\Google), but any other adb driver should work as well.
And use original yota usb cable!!!
It shouldn't take more that a few seconds for those commands to execute.

Had the same problem
Hi all, I had the same problem when I flashed russian firmware (YD201) over my phone which originally had honkong firmware (YD206).
I can inform that for me it also worked to flash the Chinese firware with yotaflasher.
However, when I tried to only flash the radio, it seemed it did not work. So I flashed the complete chinese kitkat firmware with yotaflasher and then afterward just removed/renamed the radio folder when flashing the newest russian lollipop firmware. Everything working great now, even was able to do some ota's without any problems since the ota's did not update anything of the radio img's.
And indeed you first need to make sure that you have the fastboot drivers installed and your device gets recognized as fastboot device by your PC.
You can test this by doing "fastboot devices". If you device turns up there as a fastboot devices, then the drivers and connection from pc to phone are ok.
Good Luck!
Thank you deepmnd and tomgaga.
Actually I had to activate developer options... And then reinstall the ADB cause, aparently I had it but it didn't work.
After that the instructions worked perfectly, but I still have network issues.
I don't know if it is because I have a MVNO (Mobile virtual network operator) and the phone has to change between the networks ( the one that provides the network and the MVNO).
I think that when it changes from one net to the other is when I lose connectivity and sometimes I have to search the network and choose it manually.
So this problem actually happened to me and the solution was to activate Roaming services (but I dont' know if is actually the same problem).
Anyways I can see that I connect to EDGE, HSPA/HSDPA and LTE.
For sure there is a way to monitor the network and check wich ones works.
Another guess is that being a phone for the chinese market, and the lack of the 900mhz band is causing this ¿?
So at the moment I'm losing signal just by walking on the street and I live in a big city. It seems that LTE and H works fine but I don't have a a way to assure this.
When I will have a spare time I will try to reflash the phone with the instructions deepmnd provided and see if it will work.
Thank you for your help!
Any advice will be appreciated!!
Update:
I try tomgaga approach I will test it just to see if is the network or my provider
Does anybody know which bands different firmwares support?
Reception is incredibly bad in my case (206 flashed with EU firmware).
It'd be nice if somebody has any info on unlocking different bands for yotaphone2.

Here you have the bands

I have the same problem as you, I will try this weekend to downgrade to the older chinese rom and check if the reception get better.
And if then to the latest RU rom.

Thanks for that, it helps a lot to clear the situation regarding the two models.
Now, taking in account deepmnd´s solution above, would it be possible to find those missing bands from the original 206 which are not available to the updated (and then international, 201-) version and add them individually, file by file via the fastboot flashing?
I followed deepmnd's instructions, and my phone now connects to GSM/EDGE, which was not possible before using the EU Radio (latest EU rom). Thanks for this!
Unfortunately it now preferably (!) connects to EDGE, although the LTE/WCDMA-Option is prioritized. I can force the phone to connect to WCDMA by using the WCDMA-only-option, but in this case it does not commit a fallback to EDGE if 3G is missing and I have no connectivity at all, unless I change the band-options and force a connect to EDGE. I'd like it to switch between the bands automatically, as my YD201 did without problems (in Germany).
Any hints to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance, Knut

Thank you! I had missed calls and did not know what caused them. Then I noticed this happened when I was not on LTE network but on WCDMA or 2G network. And this seems to have solved the issue for me as well.

4G networks undetected after IMEI recovery/custom ROM flash (HM2014819)

Hi
Last june I finally got my new Redmi 2 Pro (HM2014819, ergo the Brazilian version) and as soon as it arrived, I decided to reflash it into the latest available Nexus Experience custom ROM. Before that, though, I managed to check that my phone did had access even to LTE networks.
Turns out the GPS got weird because I supposedly didn't attempt to fix it before in the original ROM. I tried the the modemst1/2 format trick and it also didn't work. So I flashed MIUI7 over it again in an attempt to get a fix in the original ROM.
When I got back to MIUI, all celular/signal data was gone, along with my IMEI number (probably from the modemst partition wipe). I had to struggle a lot and I finally was able to recover it using this tutorial. However, as I just noticed recently playing Pokemon Go, 4G networks never came back even though I'm up and running on both H and H+ networks.
Using QPST and QXDM, I delve further into the QCN file and I could notice that the LTE values were actually set for Redmi2 PRIME version, which are Asia-related basebands 3 and 40 (meaning the actual LTE value in binary had 1's in the 3th and 40th bytes). However, the Redmi2 PRO version supports South America-related LTE bands 2, 4 and 7, as GSMArena points out.
Using this information and following this guide, I also tried to change/write over new Decimal values that would match my required LTE bands, but to no avail. When manually selecting networks, only 3G networks show up, even though I'm sure I could see and even pick 4G networks manually when I first booted up my (at that time, unmodified) new Redmi2.
What did just happen? What CAN I do?! How can I recover the intended, factory original version of the brazilian Redmi 2 networks?! Is there something to do with modemst2 erasure, or IMEI loss, or even NON-HLOS.bin file? Aren't they all overwritten when you reflash MIUI through MiFlash anyway?
Please, PLEASE, help me! I'm already on the brink of purchasing another cellphone (and it won't be another Xiaomi, that's for sure) if I can't get this to work. I did purchase this sorely because of the 4G connection and now I lost it entirely. Come on! :crying:
damn.... i've done this mess of erasing modemst's too and got the same problem. VERY LUCKY of me, i had a twrp backup that i did some days before doing this. hope you find some solution to this and dont give up on xiaomi just for a mess that you did xD

Igor, do you think you could at least share your modemst partition and/or your QCN file? I could use this to find the differences between my modem configurations and set it exactly as the brazilian's factory default modem.
If you're worried about IMEI scamming, then a simple printscreen from certain screens on QPST/QXDM will suffice, since I can tell what's wrong from them. If you're willing to help me (and have a rooted device), please, do tell and I can walk you through how to get them. Thanks!

Follow this tutorial.
My signal came back but I'm having frequent signal loss. The only solution is to turn on/off airplaine mode.
I've to send it to tecnical assistant but I don't want to stay without the phone.
Acttually I'm not sure if the 4g works, because my city only supports 3G. When the data connection is on I don't loss the signal.

That's the exact tutorial I've followed to recover my IMEI. And I even mentioned that in the OP, bud. My problem happened after that. Please read more carefully.
Sorry, I just saw the second link.

Oh gosh guys, I hope you can help me too! I've got the exact same problem with my HM2014819!
Did you manage to fix that?
Hi the exact same thing happened to me, I had no mobile internet at all and I fixed that qcn stuff but all I could find was asian versions, I get no 4G network and I have no other brazilian file to compare. If you managed to fix that, please please share, thanks a lot.

No Network

Hi good people, I am facing a problem. Around 8 hours back I tried calling someone but the call didn't connect so I restarted the phone and then I lost the network. I tried reboot, flashed different ROMs (unofficial CM14, cm13 nightly build n MM nougat backup), tried with GAPPS and without GAPPS but the problem is persisting. I even tried swapping the Sim cards before that but of no use. I tried debugging by using *#*#4636#*#* but ping test is failed and also there is "TURN RADIO ON" I believe ideally it should be "TURN RADIO OFF". please have a look at the screenshots. I'm almost dying without making important calls.
Update: Guys I have got it working.. Kindly look into my below posts. Please don't misguide people for small issues.
Thanks
In the screenshot we can also see, GSM SERVICE IS OFF. it stays the same even after clean flashing a new custom ROM.
Got it working. Flashed latest COS ROM file however the situation was still the same. Then I removed sim, switched on airplane mode restarted. After reboot inserted Sim then again restarted n then I got the signal
1. Removed Sim card, switched on airplane mode from both power menu and notification toggle.
2. Restart, inserted Sim card and switched off airplane setting from setting. (Notification toggle and power menu didn't work) then got the network.
Please note I tried with only one sim in sim 1 tray. Later I got the network for 2nd sim as well

Which rom did you flash and what was your method of flashing?
You also said simply flashing didn't work. It was what you did with reboot, aeroplane mode and taking out and reinsert the Sim that worked?
I've had the same problem for almost a month now... and i gave my phone to the service center. They called up to inform me that its a motherboard failure and they'll fix it.. I'll provide further info when I get my phone back (probably in 3-4 days)
P.S I tried almost every method to make it work. So if you couldn't make it work in first 2 days or so, dont waste your time and just give it for the servicing (make sure its in Stock OS so that they dont ask any questions about root xD )

I flashed almost every latest ROM. But no ROM got the network back. So as a last resort I flashed COS 12.1 and still didn't get the network. Then I removed both the sims, activated flight mode restarted the device, left it couple of minutes and inserted only one sim in first slot. Holla I got the network. Then everything is back to normal
If u r facing the same problem I would suggest u to activate flight mode n restart. If it doesn't work try by removing sim cards, if it still doesn't work try COS 12.1.

Usual procedure of flashing. Wipe cache, dalvik, system and data. Flash ROM + Gapps. Reboot
Try to search in the forum. There is a lot of threads with the same problem with the Zuk Z1. It is a hardware problem.

Your modem and baseband sections may be damaged. Modem structure is hidden under qualcomm structure. To Access and repair those sections, you need to do some modifications. I managed to make my Zuk Z1 worked again with some tweaking. Altering that part of the phone is illegal due to its restricted elements such as IMEI number. That's why I cannot post a tutorial here. İt is not allowed. However, I can help you if you personally contact me. I hope you get your signal back soon.

Please follow xda rules and don't tell people illegal things where they get in trouble. Keep in mind, that's not an illegal forum
Sure thing but I have already mentioned it. I didn't post anything illegal. So, take it easy.

Hi, I haven't still gone to the service centre. Kindly pm me the tutorial for getting signals back.

Moto X Play - No incoming calls, callers get 'busy' tone. No notifications either.

Hi, bought my daughter an X Play, October 2015. A few months ago we realised that whenever anyone tries to call the phone, they just get the 'busy' tone. Daughter also says notifications don't come through, and options have disappeared from the pull-down menu.
The phone makes outgoing calls with no problem, no problem browsing online, no problem with using Snapchat, Whatsapp etc, but she has to check for messages manually as she isn't receiving any notifications. As far as I can see, no option has been accidentally selected to turn notifications off.
Is this a known problem? If anyone can list the things I can try to make the phone fully functional again, it would be highly appreciated. We have not made any modifications to the phone at all, it's just the standard phone, not flashed any custom ROMS etc (I'm really not technically minded enough to do it if I wanted to!). Hope someone can help.
Many thanks, Andy.
I have similar problem,but people say that they call me normally.my phone doesnt ring or screen opens,or missed call appears anywhere.very weird.
Reboot > reset network settings > factory reset > reflash radio firmware > reflash whole firmware. If this doesn't help, there's 99% chance you've got hardware issue.
thanks.where can I find radio firmware?

You need to download the whole firmware. The NON-HLOS.bin file is for your radio. You also need to erase modem stats after flashing it. The fastboot commands are as follows:
Code:
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
thanks.I will wait till new firmware with January OTA included,is ready for download,or someone creates a flashable rom and then I will do this.

Many thanks for responding. I've never flashed or reflashed anything, so I think this is something beyond my capability. I have some techie friends who I'm sure can help with this though. If it needs anything doing to it beyond changing some settings, clearing the cache, or factory reset, I don't have a clue! But at least now I have some info I can show a friend when I ask them to see if they can sort it for me, in return for booze. It seems to be the currency of my techie mates.
Thanks again for the info.

You can clear modemstats without firmware, it helps sometimes. Just execute
Code:
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
And roms are very unlikely to contain radio files. They usually have system and kernel only.

No prob. What you can also try yourself is dialing
Code:
*#*#4636#*#*
This will open Testing menu. In Phone information section you can set preferred network type and check the following settings:
GSM only
WCDMA only
LTE only
(2G, 3G, 4G respectively) and see if your problem persists on all types of network. It could be that your phone will work normally on 2G but not on 3G for some reason, so it's still usable. If you change these settings they will persist until reboot.
BTW: is your Home button working?
if we clear modemstats is safe?I mean we do this with commands and then just reboot?

should be ok. some say it's better to remove sim card when you do it, but I never've seen explanation why exactly.
ok thanks i'll try.can u also remind me the process to make these commands?I have forgotten the process!

The process is the same as when you flash firmware in fastboot, so you need pc with motorola drivers and fastboot software, you then boot your phone in fastboot mode (bootloader) and enter two commands:
Code:
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
thanks dude.I think I press and hold vol down while power up..but if I wait to flash the new upcoming rom...shouldnt be the same as I would flash the modem?I confused a little sorry,because you said roms doesnt contain radios...just system and kernel files.

Yes, just turn off the phone and then powe and volume down and you're in fastboot mode.
and for the second thing - firmware is everything - system, kernel, modem, recovery, bootloader and all the other stuff and that's what you flash in fastboot. Rom is just system+kernel we flash in TWRP.

Hi, no, the Home button isn't working. I'll run through the tests you've suggested but I think I need to put a SIM card in, as my daughter removed it to put into her new iPhone Not my decision, all down to mother... think I have a spare PAYG SIM around the house I can use though. Thanks for the suggestions.

Don't bother the tests. If Home button is not working then your phone went into setup mode, it's a software bug and you can fix it yourself.
1. get Activity Launcher from Play Store
2. find Setup Wizard on the list of All Activities
3. launch com.google.android.setupwizard.SetupExit activity
Your phone should be back to normal.

I think it is!!! home button works, notifications showing, pull down toolbar shows all options, this really seems to have sorted it! I need to test with a SIM inserted, but whatever the hell you told me to do, seems to have worked....thanks so much! We now have a very useful spare Smartphone. I'll comment again once I've done a full test with SIM inserted etc, let you know if it really is all good. Cheers for now! Andy.
hello again.I reflashed firmware with pc commands.it seems that I have the issue again.my phone doesnt ring at all!which commands can I execute without reflashing again the whole firmware??thanks.
