ANY custom recovery/rom kills IMEI/BASEBAND!!!!

[jreed3786]

Was on 4.4.2 stock NJ2...Odin'ed a custom recovery like TWRP...rebooted.....NO IMEI and BASEBAND. That's about as simple, yet complex it gets. Tried reverting back to stock recovery in Odin, only to find that NO IMEI and BASEBAND still shows up. THE ONLY way I've successfully kept the IMEI/BASEBAND....is by keeping everything stock, from recovery to rom. Why would this be? I've even tried restoring the EFS folder....to no avail!!!! I'M FRUSTRATED!!!! My end goal is to be able to flash a rom, use TWRP/CWM, and KEEP the IMEI/BASEBAND!!!

ANY HELP? ANYONE having the same issue or fix?

THANKS!!!!!!:good:

Possible fix...

Make sure you have not used device encryption on the rom prior to your desired rom...

If you have then a device full wipe script is needed to clean up the phone prior to flashing the new rom...

(don't forget to check your SD card for encryption or data files that may be affected)...

Flash TWRP version 2.8.6.0 and flash your new rom....

Higher TWRP versions have been buggy for me...

Best I've got atm....g

It's because you are using TWRP 3.0.0.1, that one is broken
