[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
OK. That means one of three things; your phone is borked & can only be fixed by Samsung/authorised repairer or JTAG, you're not doing something right (really difficult to say what as we're not looking over your shoulder. If it is this, there's no way anyone here can possibly identify that), or there's some clue in what you've done with the phone over the last little bit which might help us work out how to fix it.

So...As I mentioned above, you need to tell us everything (every little step, leave nothing out; the more info you give us, the better the chance you might be able to fix your phone) you did to the phone starting with before you wiped the internal SD card.

I'll have a look thru the details you give us and see if there are any clues.

As to why you don't see any sign of having used non-stock firmware in download mode, I have no idea.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
OK. Not as much detail as I expected, but that's fine. Being completely honest with you, given everything you've mentioned in this thread and everything you've tried so far, I honestly have no clue as to why you can't flash a stock rom in Odin.

Maybe someone else who has a look at the thread might see some clues.

Edit to add - What version of Siyah were you running when you did the wipe ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jim.j:
Go through this - if you can't get into recovery, you probably have nand rw corruption.

That was the first thread l followed when l developed this issue, and followed all the instructions, but no joy...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silverrum:
Wish samsung had a firmeware updater you could use like the one sony ericsson has, which can install you firmware while your fone is off...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Again, not enough detail. It's going to be impossible for anyone here to help you further unless we get details. The exact version of Siyah you flashed. There's a reason I asked you that, that detail might give a hint as to why your phone is currently borked.

Unless you'd rather pay to have it JTAG'd or pay Samsung/an authorised repairer an exorbitant amount to have it repaired ?

Up to you.

Odin is a Samsung firmware updater, I.E Samsung use it. Wishing you could update the SGS2 in the same manner you would another phone is all good & well, but there isn't that option. So you either use the methods available, or you stay on stock. The risks are normally minimal provided you're careful, follow instructions and fully understand what you're doing before you do it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silverrum:
Oh sorry l forgot to mention that l was using SiyahKernel v3.3.2, did l also mention l also removed the yellow triangle..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
OK. There's no issue like that with 3.3.2. I was just checking you didn't flash a version from a month or two back which messed a few phones up when wipes were done.

Given you've tried what Jim suggested & still no joy, Jim's probably right about your NAND being stuffed. I certainly don't have any other ideas that spring to mind (then again it could also be something really simple someone would pick up if they were there with you; but unfortunately we're not).

So I guess the best you can do is sit tight & see if anyone else on here has any other ideas you can try.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silverrum:
Thanx for all the effort in trying to help me identify the problem, hopefully l will get it to work soon, might sell it if l get to work. lm thinking of the sg3, Nexus or galaxy note, which of these would you recommend and why?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
I wouldn't recommend any of them. Why ? I don't own any of them. I'm not qualified to comment.

My Phone

Model #: SPH-D710

Android Version: 2.3.4

Baseband Version: UNKNOWN

Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7-SPH-D710.EG30-CL435734

Build #: Tnz BLEND v1.4

Hardware Version: UNKNOWN

I bought the phone second hand with the Tnz rom installed and it worked fine. I tried to flash CM9 with ODIN and it failed. I restored it and now I have no signal. Now I can't get ODIN to recognize the phone on either my desktop or laptop with any of my 3 data cables and when I try to flash a modem in CWM v5.0.2.7 (Using the .zip from the Wiki) it gets all the way to the end and then I get this message:

script aborted (no error messege) E:Error in /emmc/update-modem-EG30-FULL-CWM.zip

(Status 7)
Installayion aborted

I checked the zip with winrar both on on my computer and when it's on the phone and it checks out. At this point I'm out of ideas so any help would be greatly appreciated
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leaderbuilder:
Why not start over.

Download the EL26+CWM kenel [http://kernelrepo.chris41g.org/defa...Chris41g\ACS\ZIP&filename=EL26_StockACS5.zip], the EL29 modem [http://www.buildarom.com/E4GT/Modems/E4GT_Modem_EL29.zip] and something like Calkulin's stock rooted EL29 [http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1332837] Copy them to the SD card (on you computer) then put the SD card into the device, Flash the EL26+CWM. Use that CWM (EL26 one) to factory reset.

Then install the modem. Then the ROM. and see what happens.

Hope you didn't use ROM manager by the way - that's a BIG no no.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rwright64:
You might be in trouble.

Can you boot into download mode? If you can use EL29 oneclick to get back to stock.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rodeodude:
Thank you both for your quick replies.

I was able to flash the kernel but when I tried to flash the modem I got the same error message. The 1-click recovery won't recognize my phone in download mode, just like ODIN.

I think I'm in trouble :crying:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dante32278:
Yeah u may have bricked....cm9 isn't an Odin type flash. Everytime someone says their PC won't recognize the phone they wind up bricked. Read through the how not to brick your phone thread in general and hopefully someone found a workaround.

Can you get into a cwm recovery even with volume up+power? Not the stock one, but a custom recovery without the android in the background.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rodeodude:
Well shoot, guess its time to start digging....

Yes I can boot into CWM, that's what I was using to try and flash things.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dante32278:
If you made a nand, hope u did, try and flash that. If not then try a safe gb rom from your sd card. Can't be worse than what u have already.

Similar Problem

I also have a similar problem. I have no signal and cannot get out of airplane mode.

Android version: 2.3.4

Baseband Version: Unknown

Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7-SPH-D710.EG30-CL435734

Build Number: GINGERBREAD.EG30

Hardware Version: Unknown

I also flashed A Custom rom.

I have had some kind of luck playing around with the nv_data files using this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1264021

I browsed my EFS directory and created blank nv_data files with root explorer.

After the reboot I had empty signal bars come up at the top and my Baseband fields filed out with the correct version and with my IMEI back.

This however only lasted about a minute before I got a crossed out circle for the signal and I back to Unknown values for the versions.

I had my phone connected to the PC the whole time and I also noticed my PC was repeatedly making the sound that it recognized a usb device (samsung mobile modem diagnostic serial port, I believe) until the phone lost the bars and went back to Unknown values.

Now my pc won't even detect the samsung diagnostic modem at all.

Also when I try to go into Setting -> About phone -> Status, I get a force close of com.android.phone

Same Here

Same issue here :(

Tried odin back to stock EL29

tried flashing modem separately via Odin / phone slot

tried factory reset data & cache wipes then format system/data

So far no luck

WiFi works -- 4g shows signal/searching

Signal area round -- no baseband/hardware info

Can access download mode, but not QPST/diag modem mode

Any ideas appreciated!

what cm9 zip did you flash! what is the file name? did you get it from cyanogenmod.com?

I fixed my issue via tips from other threads

I odin flashed stock gingerbread

After boot, I was prompted for sprint update to FF18, which I let run while I was searching out FF18 modem.

Then Odin 1.85 flashed ff18 modem in phone slot with EFS clear & reboot checked

After reboot, signal bars were back & phone initiated activation

hope this helps someone else
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] GPadraic:
I just had this same issue -- tried to flash a modem and booted back up and no service, unknown baseband version, etc etc. I thought I had bricked it, but I managed to nurse it back to health. Here's what I did:

Went to the recover from bad flash topic in Dev forum and flashed that (though it doesn't flash a modem)

Then flashed FH13 modem

Then flashed Blue Kuban ROM (which is based on FH13)

Then booted into that and I have signal and baseband is recognized as FH13

Baseband Hardware "Unknown" Fix

Just had this same problem, 30k ft. overview of issue; I was messing around with flashing NV-items in DFS and reset RF and must have loaded the wrong .ncf file or something, not sure, and ended up with the same problem. Baseband and hardware versions are "unknown". Tried your fix with fix bad flash topic in DEV and FH13 modem with blue kuban with no luck. Still unknown versions. When I review the cutany app with serial and read the model it is reading out: GT s5 670_EUR and this is the SPH-D7710 Galaxy S2 Epic Touch 4G. SO......umm...

I have tried:

- flashing a few other roms and modems. no luck

- tired editing the NV items. but can't get back into Diag mode. (may try above post.)

- reset the ##7886#

- wiped /efs and restored it.

- went to stock EK02 unrooted

- rooted and unrooted

-

Thoughts:

- maybe get the right firmware radio/ hardware and manually flash them (where to get them or what is it that i need?.)?

- edit the build.prop to get a different build that fits the model?

- some how trying to fix com.android.phone? not sure how it works?

- some how, wipe every thing on root? and start over? not sure this can happen?

- read-only error when trying to edit root dir, ? have adb

So in summary I need some direction asap!

I had a similar issue and finally fixed by first flashing the oldest working nandroid backup I had, then flashing stock sprint gingerbread (unrooted - as if I would be returning to a sprint store) using one click (available here on xda) which restores system to out of box state.

I had to switch out to different usb cable AND a different usb port to get comm port to be recognized. I also restored a QPST backup.

After reboot, baseband & IMEI were restored. Sprint prompted to install system update, which I believe corrected the other remaining glitches.

I then flashed FF18 and all is well now, except...

I did discover day or so later that usb charging port is going --- I suspect that may have contributed to the freaky disappearing baseband.

Perhaps a bad connection (yikes!) during one of my marathon flashing sessions.

Now having port replaced.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leaderbuilder:
Sounds like you are heading in the right direction(s) for a possible fix.

You can't get into diag on some ROMs because you can't access them via the dialer and/or they are not there and/or supported.

What I'd do first is use one of sfhub's One-clicks and do a

full reset

. (I'd probably choose FF18 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1721229).

One other thing I'd mention is to check the md5sum on EVERY download. Bad downloads are the cause of SO many issues.

Then, once it's back up 'Activate this phone' then try a update PRL and Update Profile.

Again this is what I would do. You could spend days trying to figure it out and not get the solution. But if you'd like to use your phone why not bite the bullet; do a full wipe and make sure your phone works as, well a phone.

Then add a safe CWM kernel (Agat 5.4 or rujelus22 1.8) via sfhub's Autoroot or Mobile Odin.

From there you can then mess with other ROMs, modems and kernels. Check out rwilco's repository for modems and kernels. He's done a great job of organizing and putting together CWM flashable zips, tars and One-Clicks

Good Luck!

Lol "during one of my marathon flashing sessions"!! started this journey at 4pm PST today.

Thus far>

- Back to stock unrooted applied all updates ota (wifi) at FF18 4.0.4b (IMM761.FF18)

- reviewed my anycut serial number still says 1. model GT-s5670_EUR with blank imei and s/n (this may have been from the bad NV flash in DFS?

- will try QPST restore my.qcn file,

HOW did you get into Diag mode? tried ##8778# with CP and ALL but QSPT still can not find my usb connection? so I can restore the qcn?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leaderbuilder:
OH wow, was this flashed with an international version!? Looks like it.

You may need a jtag repair or replacement.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
Did you try flashing with regular Odin - not the one click downloader - and checking the EFS clear option?

There is another one that someone mentioned but I can't recall what it was now that will force the NVDATA back to factory setting. I'll see if I can find it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Volcom1600:
Thanks, been working on this one for almost 18hrs. Have a timer going. Might be a new record...I'm sure of it that the root of all evil here was DFS and the lack of programing literature, basically trial and error, just in this case more error then trial....

I spoke with a tech in the Sprint back repair center reaching out into the dark here for the lowest guy on the ladder, not much help, but just gave it a shot in the dark with all honesty, and technically they are not skilled to handle this kind of thing, they have manual programing ability with some internal portal software, but not Samsung hardware programing or chip Qualcomm tools. (not sure that is the issue here) basically said exchange it for a referb. Or find hardware firmware or something..Wasn't sure what to say....

So about to toss in a towel here, but, yes tried using different odin's and clearing efs. Also tried again to delete /esf and place /efs.bak with edited nv_data.bin etc.. from other topics. I have a back up of my nvf file from DFS demo. I just can't get to the port to flash it on CP mode, as it will not connect. I don't know were the files go within root to replace them manually?? Some how have a hunch that its a simple copy and paste or delete edit some where.

The wrong model no. is what is driving me off the wall, maybe though the phone usb with some other software (NVFlash? ANYONE know if that needs Daig mode of just a usb to root access? Also maybe ADB shell cp those specific modems and flash files for that EURO model?.humm..

(Thinking out-loud here, but I think it is possible to in theory to flash other phone model and have them working on different networks if the hardware provides it. Would be cool idea and ultimate hack to get the Mifi and clone it to E4gT or find a way to tape it to the back of your epic for $34.99 all you need is data to use SIP Droid and G voice for all voice and text and the SIP following you as long as your either on good wifi or a 3g data connection, not sure about 1x and SIP but if you lived in a good coverage area this would work great no more $100 bills, otherwise Boost Mobile for $15 a month for data Pay as you go using SIP..Cool Technology these days pretty soon there will be no more cell phone channels it will all be data..

That's about it for me, maybe one more hour of reading posts and googling for any other leads to fix this mess, other wise hale marry and turnover on the 20 yard line for this one man team.

Thanks to all that replied.:confused::cowboy:
