Hi all..
Ive been reading a lot in the forum for the last few days but cant find a solution for my problem..
My brother threw his phone into the toilet..Has been in there for about 3 seconds, as he told me...
He tried the "rice trick" and tried to turn it on after 24h (although i told him not to so early)..
After a week of drying and a failed warranty claim he gave it to me..
Everything was working fine besides:
- the speaker which would have no output sporadically
- the battery which would drain very fast
- the phone did not recognize a sim card beeing put in
I decided to take the phone apart and clean it with Isopropyl alcohol (99,9%) to stop the corrosion process and remove all residue from the water, which might have bridged or damaged some contacts..
After opening i saw which parts the water got to...
I had residue on the SIM slot, the SD Card slot and some lighter corrosion signs around that area..
So my first thought was "Great..Should work after cleaning"....
When i turned it on after cleaning and drying the speaker problem was gone...
But still no reaction to a SIM beeing put in...
Thats when i realized that baseband and IMEI are completely gone..
Baseband unknown, IMEI blank..
So..I started on B520..
What i tried to get it back so far is:
Factory Resets (Hard+Soft),
No changes..
Reflash B520 with dload SD Card method (wiped before)..
No changes..
Eroot + 5irom Backup
5irom tries to backup but all i got at first was an empty folder..
After a bit of tying this and that i got 2 files.. 5.img (8MB) and 10.img (18MB)..
5irom cant restore anything from this files..All zeros in HEX-Editor..Both files..
Downgrade to B125 via dload SD Card method..
No changes..
Downgrade to B112 via dload SD card method..
No changes..
Thats where im currently at..Im pretty sure i cleaned all residue from the logic board...
Did a second clean in between to make sure..
So i guess, its either hardware failure (the modem/radio part of P6 is right behind the SIM/SD slots, where the water left most residue..) or some kind of software chaos that i cant fix on my own..
Any ideas what else i could try to restore my baseband and imei?
Never been flashed with custom firmware...Just used the root to get 5irom working..
Thx in advance..
