Hi all,
I have an I927 with a standard IMEI (0049...) after unlocking it with Z3X box.
The phone is an AT&T I927 and before unlocking I flashed the rogers kernel and then rooted it (as per http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1378082) all this worked fine.
I have a back-up of nv_data.bin before unlocking and I have tried placing it back but this phone has some sort of weird extra checks which doesn't seem to exists in other android phones such as I9100 and the IMEI stays broken.
Anybody out there with the same problem and some ideas on about how to repair it?
I'm currently living in Peru and I was using the phone with Claro and it worked for like 2 months but since a few days it seems they blocked the IMEI (can't logon onto the network anymore, and sim works fine in other phone).
Also I've been searching for original AT&T kernel to put that back and then try to put nv_data.bin back to see if that makes any difference (shouldn't but I'm kinda desperate here)
thanks

Hello i am having an issue with UNLOCKING my optmius 2x from fido. i just bought it and decided to unlock it, so i went out and found the most well know site i could to buy a code and made SURE everything matched up and it all did and still DOES Now my problem is as follows-
I entered the nck code first the phone quickley rebooted and i threw a new rogers sim into the phone but i got no bars and the phone told me there was not network then switched to no sim.
Then i put a bell sim card into the phone with the same response nothing.. so i went and put the rest of the codes into the phone and they all gave me network unlock request unsuccessful and same with the nck one now as well.. and i do not know if it said that it work the first time as it was just a quick flash
Now i have been geting help from people down in the optmius 2x section of the fourms they told me i should revert to stock 2.2 and i did with the SAME RESULTS! i also tryed an ics rom and i could not even get to the sim screen.
Can any one help me on this problem? i am looking to use my phone and i am not able to at this time
The phone is now rooted and runing ics
let me know how i can fix this
Thanks in advance!
So over 300 people have never seen this before anyone one know of a way to see if the phone is unlocked WITH OUT putting in a diff sim card like a terminal command or somthing? also is there another way of unlocking the phone via softweare?
also here is a video of the problem http://www.veoh.com/watch/v33213769CCkKgRTz
Hello all
My ATT glider recently experiences frozen screen and Ive heard of reflashing the stock ICS rom may figure this out
The phone was bought from ebay and is now being unlocked on 4.0.4(not sure if its legit unlocked)
But I learnt flashing rom may possibly lead to re-locked of the phone
And found solutions about backing up the EFS files could retrive IMEI and unlocked status (correct me if im wrong)
Not sure which solution to go with
1. spocky12's GalaxSim Unlock here
2. EFS Tool (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2019540)
3. EFS Pro here
please advice

firstly, what are the first few numbers of the imei in about phone ?
Are they the same as the imei sticker inside the battery cover ? .. That is step 1.
If yes, then backup your EFS not using a tool but with ADB. There's a tutorial you can find that will explain how, its the most certain way to back it up.
then, once you have it saved and emailed and archived to your gmail account, google drive drop box.. whatever ... and clearly renamed to WORKING-EFS-GLIDE-(date).zip THEN start flashing.

I'm running the PA rom and GalaxSim 2.0.2 worked for me. It's not in the market anymore, but the apk I found worked when I paid for the unlock (after a reboot, that is). I've only had to use it once, but it seems like it'll work as many times as you need it without having to pay again.
There is a thread discussing this at length - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2019540
I wanted to unlock my note 2, it was on 4.1.2 so i decided lets downgrade to 4.1.1 and unlock it. I used the sasktel stock rom to downgrade it and it succesfully downgrade and used the free method to unlock it (*#197328640#). Now, for some reason whenever i put simcard it gives me Emergency calls only 9laready checked the simcard, its working fine, however when i try to put my old inactivated rogers simcard it does tell me unregistered simcard). Please help...
So far i tried to put bell stock firmware but no luck, didnt make any backup for efs or anything (i already tried the same thing on s3 and it worked fine so i thought it will be same thing)
Please help me
Just want to add few things, i install original stock rom through odin bootloader instead of pda. I do get the signal from my simcard if i turned my phone for few hours and turned on but when i restart i do get the same error emergency calls only. Please someone should help me here, i dont mind making a donation to any developer whoever can help me...
Can somebody help me here and atleast guide me. Should i basically call Samsung and get it replaced, its still under warranty?
Does it say emergency calls only or no sim?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app

Note 2 GT-N7100 - No service
I will borrow this thread as I have the same issue.
Hello, friends.
I have a interesting problem and would like to ask you experts for help. I know this is a thread for GS3, but the problem is similar for my Note 2.
BACKGROUND:
I have Galaxy Note 2 N7100 which was working fine for a year and then suddenly died of SDS. I returned it to official service for repair where they said they replaced the chip (i am guessing they replaced the whole motherboard). When I got it back everything was working fine except when I inserted my SIM card phone had no service.
I went back to repair service and after few days they said they don't know what is the problem and how to solve it and I can get another N7100 in around two weeks. At that time I was developing Android App, so I managed to get the broken Note 2 back for developing. Eventually I got a new, working N7105 and they also let me keep the old, broken one.
I would like to get the broken Note 2 working again, as I believe it could be fixed, or at least I could try.
PROBLEM:
After motherboard replacement (because SDS), phone has No service. Phone appears (*#06#) to have a valid IMEI number (3536270500*****) BUT it is a bit different than on the sticker under battery (last 6 numbers are different, * chars). Serial number is also different.
I am guessing it changed with motherboard replacement? Could this be the problem?
Sometimes it shows that the phone has signal and has connected the right service provider, but it is just for a short while. When there is no SIM card, phone has No SIM icon, but shows signal bar, which appears to be working for Emergency calls only.
Phone was never rooted or flashed before SDS happened, so I don't have original EFS backup before motherboard replacement. First thing I did now, was Root, EFS backup and ROM(4.1.2) backup.
PHONE INFO:
Model: Samsung Galaxy Note 2, GT-N7100
Device Type: t03g
Product name: t03gxx
Phone is unlocked and unbranded (at least it was before SDS).
Currently it has [ROM][4.3]N7100XXUEMK9 DeOdexed & Zipaligned installed.
PDA version: N7100XXUEMK9
Baseband version: N7100XXUEMJ9
Bootloader version: N7100XXDME6
CSC version: N/A, but under CSC info it says Sales code: XTC - which I believe is Philippines. I am from Slovenia, Europe.
IMEI: 3536270500xxxxx (www.imei.info says it is valid)
IMEI on the sticker: 3536270501xxxxx has last 6 digits different
S/N: R31C80xxxxx
S/N on sticker: R31C90xxxxx
WHAT I ALREADY DID:
Phone had Stock 4.1.2 ROM installed.
I rooted the phone, did EFS Backup, entire ROM backup with cwm ROM Manager.
Excluded SIM card issue. My SIM card is working in other phones. I also tried other SIM cards in my N7100 and they all have no service.
Tried flashing different modems on 4.1.2 Stock ROM.
Tried Ariza Patch.
I flashed it to [ROM][4.3]N7100XXUEML6 PreRooted, DeOdexed, Zipaligned & KNOX Free
I flashed it to [ROM][4.3]N7100XXUEMK9 DeOdexed & Zipaligned - Current ROM. Because UEMK9 is installed on my working N7105
Tried flashing different modems on 4.3 ROM.
Tried deleting EFS folder to rebuild itself with generic IMEI (0049..). In that case it shows as connected to network every 10 seconds for about 5 seconds and then disconnects. Then copying old nv_data.bin to new EFS. It didn't work so I restored EFS.
I tried other stuff and did a lot of search but I am also quite new to all this rooting and flashing stuff. So if you guys have any suggestions that I could try (even if I already did it) please, do suggest and I will try. If you need any additional info, please ask and I will gladly post it.
I attached some pictures with SIM card inserted and without SIM card.
I have had the note 2 for about 2 to 3 years and its been working fine I have a S4 too,I swap between phones so sometimes I use the S4 and sometime the Note 2,I was using my S4 for about 6 months and decided to use my Note 2 for a change and put my sim in and turned it on and it would say there is no sim in the phone ,looking at the settings it had no Baseband and no IMEI ,showing as Unknown ,it was on CFW DN4 and was working fine 6 months ago.so I downloaded a ROM from the SamMoblie website for O2UK cos I am with Sky Mobile and they use there network and didn't see why it wouldn't work.
Anyway.
I flashed the ROM with Odin 3.07 and now it recognize the sim but thinks it on O2UK ,it has a baseband now but the IMEI is the wrong number,and it will not registered on the Sky Network,if you go to More Networks in Settings you can see Sky in the list but will not register on there network.(Can't connect to network,try later)
Any ideas why the IMEI has changed,it not the same as the sticker under the battery..?

Hi,
It looks like your EFS partition either got corrupted, formatted, or simply did not mount. The reason you cannot connect to the network is because you're not allowed to. You NEED IMEI because it is used to identify your device. Flashing stock rom wont help you. If you have a backup, go ahead and flash it via recovery. If not, try this link: http://www.androwide.com/2015/07/recover-lost-imei-number-of-android.html
(Insert the exact IMEI that you have on the box/under the battery. It is illegal to fake your IMEI in a majority of countries.)
Regards
Can't do any of what it says on the page cos its for a MTK chip,MediaTek,Galaxy Note 2 N7100 don't have that chip.
Have you tried flashing other stock ROMs? Does the imei start with 0049...?

Yes it dose 0049... going to try and fix it with BST dongle,I have flashed original firmware on it now,its 4.4.2,It did have RESURRECTION REMIX on it but can't remember the version maybe the one with Android 5.1.1,then when I put my sim in it to use it after 6 months It would't read the sim,like it was not there and had Baseband Unknown on it..very weird,flashed original firmware on it then it was able to read my sim but then had the 0049... IMEI...??
Hopefully I can fix it with BST dongle,just waiting for the updated version of the BST PCB Adapter V1.1 to be delivered,coming from China.
Looks like the folder containing the IMEI has been corrupted.
Good luck with the cable.
It worked,BST fixed it by puting the IMEI back on the phone,I had to type it in,now it connecting to the network,wow,the best thing I have brought in a long time.. so all fixed.
oh and BST works fine on Windows 10 too.
So Now I have backed up its EFS file and can put custom roms on it without worrying about losing my network,at the moment it has original firmware on it 4.4.2.No plan of puting a Custom ROM on it at the moment,just glad I can use the phone again.

I got it from eBay and had to buy a new BST PCB Adapter so it was compatible with 4.4.2 cos the UART cable didn't work ,now it does with v1.2 of the PCB Adapter,I got thats from AliExpress.

Hope this helps someone.
