[Q] No network and CSC Unknown

[Sparkymatt]

Hi

I need some help. I flashed my i8190N with Maclaws CM11 KitKat ROM but have now lost network and sim and CSC data. My baseband is showing ok along with my IMEI.

I flashed back to stock ROM but still no network. I think I need the CSC file. My baseband is i8190NXXALL6 and im on H3G UK network. My wifes stock i8190N is on same network and her CSC is i8190NH3GALL2. Is there anyway I can pull a file from her phone to mine?

I have read on a couple of threads that Tyson can supply a modem file. Does this contain the CSC file that I need?

Thanks in advance

Matt

Specifically, which stock rom did you flash and by what method (via Odin)?

I flashed with a stock rom downloaded from Samsung-updates.com, i8190NXXALL6_i8190NH3GALL2_Home.tar.md5. I have flashed via Odin. Flash passed ok but when I reboot phone, still has no network and CSC shows unknown. I have also downloaded same rom from other sources and same thin happens.

Did you try to factory resetting the device?

Did you try to factory resetting the device?

Yes several times. even tried flashing again after a factory wipe/reset. Still same. Could I copy the rom from my other i8190N which has same stock rom and network?

Yes, if you have the same device (I8190N) you could technically do a nandroid backup (excluding EFS if choosing TWRP full nandroid backup) on the 'working' device and restore this backup on the 'broken' one. But its highly advised to make a nandroid backup on the 'broken' one prior this (suggest using TWRP and taking a full nandroid backup - including EFS).

OK, I will try this later as wife now wants to use her phone. It is exactly the same phone, with just a different colour shell. Baseband and rom the same. I did just do a full nandroid backup f the working phone but I think I included EFS as well. I will try another one without EFS.

Will post how it goes.

Thanks again.

Its crucial that you only restore a backup from and to the same model, which in your case is i8190N. Furthermore be assured that you do not include EFS in your transfer attempt, as it contains IMEI, potential carrier lock and other vital device specific (unique) information. The recovery partition can be excluded too.

They are both i8190N and locked to the same network. I will NOT include EFS in the backup of the working model.

It worked. I backed up the working phone excluding the EFS and recovery folders using TWRP. Renamed the backup folder to match the non working device ID. Restored backup using TWRP on non working phone. Rebooted and everything now working. CSC data now showing correctly.

I also did a factory reset/wipe as it had all the other phones settings etc.

Can make calls etc now.

Thanks for your help.

Did you ever get to the bottom of this issue?

I flashed my i8190N with Maclaws CM11 KitKat ROM but have now lost network and sim and CSC data. My baseband is showing ok along with my IMEI.

I've come across exactly the same problem. I'm back on stock again now but want to use CM.

Can anyone advise?

Many thanks,
Andy.
