Hi all,
I was a bit stupid and thought that I could flash a Samsung Galaxy S6 bin.file / radio on Meizu Pro 5 to gain a different frequencies for 4g to work and now there is an unknown baseband and IMEI says NONE. Have tried to flash the FLYME bin.file /radio back, but no success. Tried to reflash the whole system, complete wipe, fastboot -w, different ROM's, tried to recover with so many tools and nothing worked.
Is it possible or the modem chip is broken for good? Anyone has a clue? Thanks in advance.
I think i can help, i have dongle that can flash factory firmware, not original stock, real factory, but problem is ... need to use something like usb gate then i think.

Hello everyone. I think I've just messed up my device really bad. And I think there's no solution. I've search everywhere to no avail.
. I have a gt i9500, I was flashing through Odin (4.2.2 OS for my country) and my computer got stuck while installing the software. After a while Odin finished flashing the software. When my phone boot up I had no signal. It took a while until I realized my IMEI changed to Unknown. What's wrong is that I deleted the internal sd card prior flashing the software, and i did not save my efs folder. (I've done this a thousand times! )
I've tried flashing the software again, restoring cm backups but I still won't get any signal! I'm wondering if there's anything u can do to get an IMEIand gget signal, any help would be awesome. I attach what I have in my current efs folder.
Thanks... I don't fell like spending $700+ dollars for a new device

Three questions:
What version of odin areyou using?
You were flashing 4.2.2 but, what version did you have previously?
Can you see your baseband version on settings-> about the phone?

Try and flash the stock firmware and do a factory reset, hopefully this helps

thanks for the repplies, i wiped my device and i was on 4.2.1,,, however i got it working flashing the modem again, my device is working again, thanks for the asnwers
Hi guys, I'm lost, i tried flash almost everything to my freshly bought board from aliexpress but I had only success with "N9005-hlte_PDA-XXUEND6_CSC-OXXEND2_MODEMS-XXUENC2_REPACK.tar.md5" and some others but after locking and unlocking display stays black ( buttons under screen lights up and system seems to work but no visual after unlock - after swipe to unlock. I cant flash any custom rom and only some 4.x official roms. And no, i don't know what firmware was originally on it (stupid me)....
download mode info:

Are you saying you bought a motherboard ??
If so the new motherboard defines the firmware not your old setup .
Yeah i got new, i didn't know there's so many variants of software for phone, my good old note 2 is almost unbrickable. Any suggestions how to get it alive ?
Ok guys, I got some progress, I successfully flashed 5.0 SM-N9005_1_20160121153514_7lzesanh3b_fac tgy coz i think this is hong kong board. Everything works but i have extremely low wifi signal even when I'm standing next to router, gsm networks mostly same bad signal and whats odd, I can see sim signal without sim in phone. Isn't it coz of bad modem ? How should i continue ? Thanks.
edit:
And i still cant flash any custom rom trough twrp, always stuck on writing system partition - sometimes with error 7 and sometimes just endless loop of writing system :/
Try Philz Recovery .
I tried philz - works but cant flash rom, stucked on system, cwm - same, twm - works only some older versions not the lastest one, only sometimes it boots to lastest and cmr - not working. After rooting using supersu zip had some random reboots for some time.
The Story
Don't even know where to start. Okay so I have a SM-935W8 (Canadian Version) and it was working perfectly fine running Project Dream rom the S8 one. I decided to flash angelo's Pixel rom for S7 Edge and for some reason when it booted, the network had a cancel sign meaning no network. Once I finished the initial setup, calling, messaging , and data weren't working. Luckily I have a backup for EFS and RADIO in tar, img. and tar.gz formats. So I downloaded the Partitions Backup app and restored the EFS and Radio files, it said successfully restored. I rebooted my device and the issue was still there, no network. So then I installed the stock ROGERS (Provider) rom from SAM MOBILE and it came up with some DRK error and my phone would not boot. So then I quickly used ODIN to flash twrp and then flash Superman Rom (Love it) and use dm-verity bypass.zip to get past the drk error. Then I attempted many other things but to no avail such as flashing the EFS tar through ODIN which caused a "Software Error" and phone to be stuck on a light blue software error screen so I had to use smart switch to FULLY restore the phone back to booting up, then once again I flashed twrp and Superman rom with dm-verity so I atleast have root and a decent rom to work from.
The Problem and What I Have at Disposal
So essentially, I currently have a new section in settings under Connections called "SIM card manager" for managing sim cards even tho I only have 1 slot, it shows that the SIM is ROGERS and LTE/3G/2G in there, but it can't connect to a network and keeps saying Not Registered on a Network. Also, there are 2 IMEI's since my phone thinks theres 2 SIM slots but I really only have 1 slot. BUT HERE IS THE MAIN ISSUE, THE ROOT OF ALL PROBLEMS, the IMEI is reading as "000000000000000" and the IMEISV is "01". Hence im getting Not Registered on a Network. No secret codes such as *#06# are working, keeps giving the Not Registered on a Network error.
I have the EFS and RADIO backups in img, tar, and tar.gz formats as well as screenshots of all my MAC and Bluetooth addresses, IMEI and Serial #'s and all that information. So essentially I feel fully ready to solve the problem but everything I try keeps failing. My EFS restoration says successful in the APP but upon reboot, theres no change. Flashing the EFS through ODIN messes up phone harder. When I use EFS Professional Tool, where do I place the partitions so they show up in the tool?
I used this post to try to fix it: https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/how-to/guide-how-to-fix-check-drk-imei-issues-t3379516
BUT when I'm flashing the combination through ODIN in AP, it goes to NAND write or whatever and gets stuck, sometimes it gets stuck on Analyzing files or something. I tried every single ODIN version. I really could use some expertise on this issue. A step by step written tutorial, some method anything!!!! Help on this post or even teamviewer or skype for live help would be appreciated. Please help and I'm willing to compensate for successfully helping me fix my issue..
Did you ever sort this out? I'm in a similar situation, except that it does occasionally show my IMEI but also 'baseband unknown'. But still no network access.
i hope i dont risk a warning, but you can use xposed and with root you can change your imei and baseband info.

Thanks, I've done so much to this phone now...
I did try xposed and have tried a different IMEI, it seems like it's a modem issue but there doesn't seem to be a firmware solution - I have tried so many stock roms(All the way back to the first Marshmallow and a bunch in between) and different custom roms too but in the end the error is always there: Not registered to Network.
I saw somewhere in my troubleshooting that some kind of cert needs to be patched because the phone did an update on a modified rom without the OEM unlock being on and then the EFS data was messed up or something like that (all of the research and troubleshooting is starting to blur). It seems like that fix isn't doable without a rather expensive piece of hardware (expensive if your just fixing your one phone I guess) and there isn't any firmware-only fix that can accomplish this patch so I'm stuck again.

i think i can help you out with that. install that with odin, it should get your efs and imei back:

Sorry, I should have clarified. I have an S7 (SM-G930W8). I only tried this thread because the issue was identical to mine and I couldn't find anything similar referencing the S7 specifically.
For anyone coming across this thread in the future, although mine was an S7 I think the issue would apply to both. I ended up ordering a z3x in order to use the patch certificate. But it wasn't that easy; the firmware had to be downgraded to marshmallow first which wouldn't work in Odin until I tried just flashing the BL and CP files first, then rebooting and flashing the AP and CSC files separately. In fact, the AP file froze the first time but passed on the second attempt. After that, everything was downgraded to android 6 and then the patch certificate option worked and my s7 connects to the network again.
I'm having a similar problem with my sm-g935w8 Rodgers but has been unlocked. A couple days ago i looked at my phone and it was showing a no signal symbol and I look for my phones information and it showed unknown in all categories, the imei say unknown, and it's not reading the sim. Help me

This one for advanced users who know what they are doing.. it isn't specifically for s7 series but has a universal approach to understand concepts.. don't use the provided drk (prov data) and csc restoring files, they aren't for s7 edge.
Always backup efs and all radio/serial related info firstly after rooting. Good luck

Hi everyone, I have a Samsung Galaxy A3 6, and after using this rom JX's check ur SIX aka L'oogleRom 2018 for one week, I decided to reinstall a stock rom. So, i do a full wipe than I try to flash with odin my stock rom but it's noi working ! I tried many different ways but none of the roms work. Worse, my phone doesn't recognize my sim card Help me please
Wiping is still OK? Wipe after (or delete something specific in /data/data that probably changed), I'm guessing it was done before the flash. Or try firmware with a newer modem. If the efs was wiped, well it's not supposed to be wiped. Only if the efs isn't there, load a backup. Else, maybe only the partition/volume is gone and only the content remains, that'll be difficult to restore...

i had the same problem, try Combination rom (its made for fixing phone), it fixed my phone.
fixed, i've install an other rom and it works
basically this is how it went, installed an android 10 rom, it was buggy so i flashed back to stock miui with adb to fully reset everything, installed a recovery and went back to pixel experience
now the phone won't recognize my sim card and wont find any wifi connections, miui also did not find any wifi connections and wont recognize the sim either
am i screwed? is my device bricked?
Have you used the tool from xiaomiflash.com for the stock ROM?
Probably lost IMEI too? Modem could be broken and needs to be reflashed. No way without edl i guess. I dont know. Needs some pro advice. I would like to know about this too.
