why can't anyone from this forum try to help me???? (devs included)

u just have to put the phone in DIAG mode (adb shell -> su -> setprop sys.usb.config diag,adb), any CM13 rom will do

install qualcomm drivers

launch qpst

make a QCN BACKUP file

then use a hex editor to edit your IMEIs to 111111111111111111 and attach the files here

that's it, the file is around 700kb only

i find it hard to believe no one else except me need this file.

If u are an avid custom rom flasher, u need this file too!!!! coz its simply too easy! to bork values in the nvram, just by flashing nightlies, ota updates or just trying a new rom, and there are many roms to try here

btw: I found 2 copies of RAW/SERVICE ROM firmware for ZE550KL, it's vital to revive any hard bricks due to partition failure of any kind, will post links later after I find the original links again

Asus Zenfone 2 Laser ZE550KL (Z00LD, WW) SERVICE ROM or FIRMWARE

Service rom/firmware is vital to recovery from any type of partition failure, it is flashed using Asus Flash Tool (AFT). Note that this is different from the usual Asus ROM upgrades. If AFT fails for whatever reason, simply unzip the file and run flashall_AFT.cmd, it's a simple batch file.

there are 2 files, one from a russian forum, another (can't remember), I lost both links but will upload my copy using a higher speed link, mine is 4Mb broadband package only, upload 512kb max.

nothing worked except a working qcn file (ze550kl), heck i even tried flashing qcn from lenovo/xiaomi which has the same snapdragon chipset, didn't work, radio is dead.

pls make a qcn file, then replace your imei with some other number (111111111111111111) & attach it here, it's for the benefit of others as well.

thank you.

How To Fix Unknown Baseband In Qualcomm Based Phones.

Today 8 out of 10 device by Qualcomm in market and there is one common problem in Qualcomm based phones which is Unknown BaseBand.

Some try to flash phone and some write modems or radio but mostly have no idea why baseband got unknown.

I'm not here just giving solution for Baseband i will tell you reason of this too so you can easily fix whenever you will get device for same.

Reason of unknown baseband & Solution :~

Wrong firmware flashed on device - after flash wrong firmware there is chance to lost baseband because maybe the older firmware look for baseband in c drive (just an example, the author meant 'looking for baseband in the wrong location') and your flashed firmware search it in d drive so you will get unknown baseband cause of wrong path of EFS in firmware, so you can easily fix it by flashing (meaning stock rom)

Corrupted EFS so to fix corrupted EFS you have to erase EFS partition which is MODEMST1, MODEMST2, FSG, please backup these partition first before erase or just erase MODEMST1 and MODEMST2 its safe as FSG is golden copy for them. (FSG is actually a backup of MODEMST1 & 2, golden copy meaning if phone detects erased/zeroed modemst1/2, it will auto copy FSG to modemst1/2)

You can erase partition in fastboot like this "fastboot erase modemst1" and same for other just change partition name,this partition can be erase by adb too as boxes (professional repair kits) do but you will need root and some advance skills

Some time EFS not corrupted, its erased so you can not fixed it by point (2) so you need a working QCN from other working phone (same model) to restore EFS partition.

In order to read and write qcn you need 1 tools QPST ,there is lots of tutorials on net how to read qcn so i will not gonna tell you here same thing so i will cover only important part.

To read write qcn you need qualcomm DIAG port to be enabled and its depend on phone, some phone can enable this just by code and some need root, after root you can use my tool rbsoft mobile tool to enable diag port.

(For enabling DIAG port on ZE550KL, just go adb shell -> su -> setprop sys.usb.config diag,adb Need to disable Windows driver signing first, install Qualcomm drivers to work )

Now you can read and write qcn and you will get your baseband and imei back

To make your work easy i attached QCN in my post for latest phone which come daily on every shop now day.

keep in mind all qcn imei i removed and now its 35000000 (false IMEI) so edit & input your imei with hex editor.

Please if you have QCN which not in our list please post it here it will be helpful for others

Note that the DIAG port cannot be enabled if the phone is using stock rom, so flash CM13 roms so you can enable DIAG port via adb.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Utini:
Hello everyone,

a few days ago I broke my Nexus 6. I am now about to buy a new phone. The Google Pixel L looks really nice but way to expensive.

The Nexus 6P comes next which costs nearly as much (or even less) than a new Nexus 6 would cost. But is the Nexus 6P still worth it?

Battery life seems to be worse than on the Nexus 6, is this correct?

Camera is better than Nexus 6 but worse than Pixel L and other new phones (samsung/iphone) ?

Performance would be more than enough.

Faster decryption than Nexus 6

Feels better in the hand than the Nexus 6

Anything else I should consider?

Thanks in advance !
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TokedUp:
I upgraded from the N6 to the 6P about a month ago and I couldn't be happier. Camera is better. Battery life is double what it was on the N6, at least for me it is (I'm not arguing over it). Performance is similar. The one thing that makes it an upgrade for me is that the 6P is easier to use on the go, it's not as wide, really makes a difference.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kinfolk248:
Im in the same boat, need a phone. Only thing that scares me is all the complaints about the 6p battery starting to degrade after long a year ;-/
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ibsk8:
I recently "upgraded" from a N6 to a 6P, I'd do it again . Similar performance, camera....Not a huge deal to me. battery life isn't as good as my n6, it seems maybe my used 6p has had a rougher battery life than my n6. It gets me through an average days use but no 5.5-6 hours of SOT.

It feels much better in the hand than the n6, the sRGB mode is a winner in for me, finger print scanner is a nice feature. It's also a nexus, unfortunately the last.

I say do it if you can get a good deal.

I was able to pick up a 64gb for under 300 USD!!
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Utini:
Hm thanka for the input. I am not sure if there are any real alternatives for the same price anyway?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riley Williamson:
I too manage to get my Nexus 6P for under 300, I got mine for 130 and I have to say, it is well worth in getting. :)

I also am coming from the Nexus 6 as mine has recently broke last month, a day after Thanksgiving. I ended up cracking the screen whilst having the screenprotector on it and you could tell, there is a difference in using the 6P to the 6. With the 6P, it is less wider and feels good in the hand whereas with the 6 it sorta felt like you were holding a brick. The Gorilla Glass 4 which is used on the 6P feels very strong than to the 6's and the screen resolution is amazing. I think if you are able to find a good price on it, it is well worth the money.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TnT_:
The degrading battery issue mentioned below, is false for me - completely. Yes, I get degrading but this is normal for ANY lithium battery on the market. And I have a estimated capacity of 3,223. This is only 6% degrading over a year and a half. Plus you can get the phone for half the price of google, on swappa and various other sites in mint condition.

Side note: I feel the degrading issue is more of a myth caused by the recent battery drain issues of Nougat, and users probably blamed their device rather than the software.

Otherwise, I love this phone. Would absolutely get it again. Hope you come to a decision that satisfies you!

---------- Post added at 12:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:22 AM ----------

The 6P is a bargain now that the Pixel is out but if I had the money I would probably purchase a Pixel instead. There are bugs (random reboots; phone shutdown at 15% battery) that are affecting a small but still significant number of 6P users. If you buy a 6P make sure it has a full warranty.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigblueshock:
The "used price" for performance ratio for a 6P now is excellent Hovering in the $300+/- range depending on condition and storage size.

If my 6P broke, I would have an insanely hard time justifying buying a Pixel XL for over $700. Hell, I am on Verizon and I still couldn't justify buying the Pixel XL for the $15 a month promotion going on recently.

Originally I was on Pure Nexus, but decided to lock my phone down and go factory stock locked bootloader. The only major thing I miss is Miracast.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhs39:
I think you need to be brave at this point to buy a 6P used with no warranty. The boot loop of death, early shutdown battery issues and random reboots are affecting enough people that dismissing the possibility of buying a bad one seems foolhardy. Don't get me wrong--I love my 6P but I'm also glad it's under warranty through July. I absolutely would not buy a used one unless it came with a warranty.

I connect to 3G network and PIE, Media Net works well. I disconnect 3G and connect to WiFi, open PIE which is set to Media Net home page and popup reads "Cannot connect with current connection settings. To change your connection settings, tap Settings." It will not go to Media Net home page but most other websites (ie. google, weather channel etc...) work fine. Cingular video reads "having technical difficulties, try again later". Mobile CNN reads "Cnn wireless content is restricted. You may be attempting to access us from an unauthorized mobile service provider, or it could be that your service provider is authorized but has failed to register a new gateway IP with us."

That's with PIE. With 3rd party applications like XM Radio, Windows Live Search, they work well with WiFi but not with 3G. XM pops up "A network error has occurred. Please verify your cellular or WiFi connection is active and restart the app." Live Search will open but wont download maps or get directions.

I've done searches here and in different forums with no success. This happened before and after phone calls to AT&T, HTC then online chat with AT&T tech support I got it fixed with a hard restart. Then after downloading HTC Home Plugin, KaiserTweaks and remapping the PTT button, it started having the same connection problems again.

Now aside from doing another hard restart and having to dowload/install those CABs again, does anyone know how to fix this?

I know the AT&T/Cingular browser settings by heart, but this alone wont fix the problem.
