[SOLVED] messed up radio, need advice...

---

I made a real dumb mistake just now and hoping there is a way out of this. I was in titanium back up after updating to 4.0.4 GSM and decided it would be a good idea to use the integration of updates to rom option, one of the apps was phone or contacts or something like that and it was the first app to be processed and it appeared to be stuck not doing anything, so I made the real bad mistake of force closing titanium backup. Now I don't have signal, my baseband is unknown. I tried restoring all system apps and tried to flash the 4.0.4 update which gave me a status 7 error.

I was hoping there might be a way to fix this without opening my boot loader and having transfer all my stuff to PC which is painfully slow on my window xp PC. Then fast booting the full factory 4.0.4 and set up literally everything again.

Please advice...

you'll have to unlock your bootloader to fix this. its inevitable. after you get it up and running, you can relock it if you wish to do so.
TIP: you NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER want to restore system app data. it is calling for bad news.

This is NEVER a good idea.

I honestly don't have any ideas for you. There are so many things that may have messed up.

If you want, I can give you a link to the /system dump that I made for adrynalyne, and you can boot into CWM and try to copy all those files overtop of the files currently in your system and see if that will work. But my suggestion would be to unlock your bootloader and flash a fresh image...

Pretty much would be the best and easiest way of resolving all of this. Unlock bootloader, fastboot flash stock google images. And relock your bootloader (if you desire... I see no purpose of relocking it) and be on your way.

Thanks guys didnt think I could do it without unlocking my boot loader. Here's to spending all tomorrow morning on the PC and getting in the neck from gf who is meant to be phoning me in the am!

Will fresh flash entire 4.0.4 rom in the morning as its 2.45 am UK time now, got alarm set for 7.30, just hope I can fix it before going to work! Thanks again guys

Easiest way is to do this:
1) Plug your device into your computer and open a command prompt in the same directory as your adb.exe file
2) Get all your data off your device by typing: adb pull /sdcard
3) Follow this guide for a fresh yakju IMM76D install.

phone fixed now finally. In the end i went back to 4.0.2 as i had it on my pc flashed that then rooted it and then moved 4.0.4 back on to my phone and used stock recovery to flash it and then booted into cwm and flashed su.zip. Now to just put all my stuff back onto my phone...
