So, I flashed CM7 before I unlocked my phone and now I can't find the IMEI anywhere. Is it hiding somewhere or am I just kind of out of luck? Or would it pop back up if I reset to stock?
Thanks for your help!
Never mind, crisis averted. I just reflashed the stock ROM and it came back.

Hi,
I'm wondering if anyone has accidentally bricked a galaxy S3? If so, how did it happen?
I am also curious if anyone has tried to return or exchange an S3 after flashing? What was the outcome?
What are the recommended steps to bring the phone back to a near stock condition after having had flashed? (general steps, such as flash stock rom, reset flash counter.... Anything else?)
Thanks.
Hey,
My phone is faulty, and I need to return it under warranty. I had unlocked the bootloader and installed custom roms, so I just want to check that I've managed to undo all that, and that at the factory they won't be able to tell that I had it rooted.
The main-version is 3.14.980.27, which I couldn't find an RUU to work with, so I downloaded the Stock Nandroid Backup, flashed the boot.img it contained, restored the stock nandroid backup, flashed the stock recovery, relocked my bootloader and deleted eveything from the internal sd card. Having done all this am I ok to send it back for warranty?
The fault is nothing to do with rooting it, but just a little worried that if they find any evidence I rooted it, then they will refuse to fix it and I'll be out $600.
Thanks in advance for all advice.

There's plenty of threads about going back to stock
You are as stock as you can be ..... they can always tell by the relocked bootloader that its been unlocked ..... so its sending it in and hope for the best.
This is somewhat related. I need to send my phone under warranty due to the dreadful green tint camera problem that arises when some people update to jelly bean, what are the chances of them repairing my phone even though I'm rooted and have a custom ROM? Surely they must know this is not a problem caused by rooting or flashing since it occurs on the stock ROMs as well, right?
Hi,
I was running the stable cm10.1 build for my Verizon Toro, and then decided to restore my stock, rooted 4.1.1 nandroid in order to take the update to 4.2.2 so that I would get the new radios.
Ironically, somewhere in this process I lost service and now everything in the phone status menu is unknown. Then, I flashed the stock image + unroot option in the Nexus root toolkit and lost my nandroids as well. Is there some way that I can regain service and restore my IMEI to the one on my sticker?
Please help me if you can!
Hey guys, so I finally decided to go back to a stock rom for the t989 (4.1.2)
i downloaded tiberus for the kernel
uvmc6 stock for the rom via this thread <<is that even a legitimate stock? i'm not sure because that's the only one i could find that doesn't seem to be tampered with.
and uvmc6 for the radio
for some reason, after flashing, everything works great but i have no signal. the baseband in the "about phone" reads "unknown"
I don't know what i did wrong because it seems like I did everything right by getting the same version, kernel and radio for it but it's still not working.
even tried going to an earlier radio but still no success.
can someone tell me if i'm missing a step? did i do something wrong? can i even downgrade (specifically coming from this ROM and i want to go back to stock)
I am facing the exact same issue. Can anyone please share any pointers. Thanks so much.

Not sure about the rom you linked, it's not official stock is about all I can see just from the filename.
If you really want to go back to official stock 4.1.2 ROM, then you need to download either one of these, this is for T-mobile/T989 or this is for Telus/Koodo/T989D
Either of those I linked are flashed through Odin in Download mode. unpack and flash in Odin, If you need a re-fresher on how to use Odin check here, at Step 9 just replace that with the rom you downloaded/unzipped.
Hi, I have just flashed Rooted Note 2 on 4.3 to the latest stock ROM which I downloaded from the SamMobile and now it will not register on the network.
The new version I flashed was the same as the old as i found it with the CSC N7100BTUEMK2 on sam mobile.
I checked the IMEI and it says 00499010640000 in status menu which is different from the one under the battery.
I did not perform a backup of anything as I was not worried about losing any data.
Any ideas what has happened to it and how to get the IMEI correct again?
I understand this is something to do with an efs file but in what way it has become faulty from flashing the same rom I cannot decipher
Any help much appreciated! :good:

From my experience:
1) Reflash the ROM.
2) Flash a custom ROM.
Both worked for me.

Click "Thanks" if I was of any help!
Thanks, I have reflashed the current 4.3 rom UEMK9 and a slightly older UEMK4 with a DEMJ9 radio.
I have tried lots of radios - DM3, XXDME4, XXMI6, XXMJ5, XXMJ2, and some other modem.bin
From what I understand its when you go from newer to older roms that you get IMEI problems, so its prob useless to try pre 4.3
Its all a bit confusing to me and which rom has which radio seems like an arcane mystery.
It is quite possible that I flashed a same version 4.3 rom but my old radio was different and not knowing it was such a minefield on Galaxy phones I never checked that or bothered with a back up.
I may have to resort to paying the people at unlocksamsung online £26 to reset my IMEI
Can anyone tell me, is it just the radio that causes the IMEI problem and should I just trawl through flashing radio zips until my IMEI comes back so I can save the efs file?
BTY everything else seems ok SN is correct and wifi works fine, I just can't get on a network without my correct IMEI
Thx
i also have the same issue on my note 2 gt-n7100 and now phone does no respond to the touch post rooting and all..i am tired of rooting and unrooting the phone like 100 times allready and now my phone is stuck in loop
