Get into download mode and flash stock pulled kernel in Odin, from Chris41g. The one with cwm included. You will be looking for the tar file, not the zip. Unless you still have cwm installed. Then you could use zip file.
You may not be aware, but you should have placed this in general section. Mods will move it.

Your ROM bricked my phone, thanks a lot buddy.
Those YouTube videos on how to root, flash, and use Odin are a world of help too.

In before the move...

You need to do a data reset. Been through this same thing. You need to dial ##7-----. Don't remember the rest. Google how to do a data reset or maybe someone on here knows the numbers you need to dial.

You beat me!!! Cheers!

I bet he wrote to the phone partition instead of the PDA, he hosed his radio if he did. He might not have realized it by not paying attention. Hell need to flash the modem.bin to phone then the stock restore to PDA in Odin.

I was thinking maybe a way to get the imei back? Syncs to some other storage location. But might just as easily be putting current imei in efs back up as going from back up to efs.

I tried it already. But it says "EFS_SYNC() was not supported".
You can always restore from the firmware's Restore/Backup.
Main Menu > UMTS > COMMON > NV REBUILD > [4] Restore Back-up
The firmware will use its default backup (they call it Golden-Backup). For me that default Golden-Backup is called Ca//NV. This is the first thing I look for. Then if I make a mistake I can restore.
But I still love learning.

I don't know if it helps but there is a option in the toolkit to Backup your EFS Partation?

How did you access those menus?

Dial the following keys *#197328640#
From another post in unlocking Galaxy Note 2 sim.
And from another post in getting SGH-T889 to work with AT&T. But still need stock APN. Work for some and not for others.
We also notice both LTE and WCDMA radio bands are included.

Found out
Ok i used some of my Google mojo and found this What is EFS? It is a place that stores your Android smartphone important data like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth MAC address and IMEI (nv_data.bin). Do take note if you are a frequent ROM / firmware flasher or rooted your Android phone. Install unstable or poorly cooked ROM might cause EFS partition to be corrupted or missing. This will make your Samsung Galaxy Note 2 fail to make voice call due to missing IMEI number. Therefore better to make a backup of your Samsung Galaxy Note 2 EFS partition.

When I follow Main Menu > UMTS > COMMON > NV REBUILD >
I get ....Not supported on custom firmware.
I am just rooted on stock rom...may be it needs totally stock without root

[Q] How are people losing IMEIS?

I want to root and flash cm10 on my galaxy s3, but I hear their might be some complications. I want to avoid all complications.

nobody know why we lose IMEI when flashing from ROM to ROM, its just bad luck i think, me myself been flashed more than 100+ but never happend to me.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium

I've never seen that happen.
But you should do a nandroid backup. If you are concerned.
I never do, but it doesn't hurt.
It's pretty straightforward.
Root with the right software and files. Odin is your friend. All, available in the stickies of the dev section.
I think people from other forums try to make it sound scary to root the s3.
Easiest phone I ever rooted. I have a cell phone store.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium

I lost my imei in my first flash on the s3, actually in pretty sure it's because i chose the wrong .pda. I was in the international version lol. I'm on cm10 now.

IMEI numbers are lost when you mix and match the PDA files or Modems of one version with another or if you flash any other ROM not intended for your phone. ALthough sometimes this doesn't happen. I lost my IMEI for my Galaxy S(international) but thankfully flashing a Stock Rom restored it. That is why people recommend doing a NANdroid back up or atleast backing up ur efs folder.(though i never do )

I could be wrong, but I don't believe that just a nandroid will restore your imei. If it were really that simple, I don't see why there would have been so much time devoted to coming up with a specific method to backup and restore your imei.

Is there a fullproof way of not losing imei?

I would recommend using efs pro and back up your imei..its happend to me and if you dont have a backup you could be in a pickle!

Nandroid backup will not backup your imei or efs file..you need a special program..and by just making a copy if your efs will not work because there is a file signature. .

for me a simple flashing of my stock rom sufficed..or else normally you could do an efs backup and restore. well for nandroid backup never actually did one,but most people told me it was a solution so i assumed it to be one.

Does this only happen to the galaxy s3 also? Or do other phones lose IMEIs when flashing.

I'm starting to think the risks outweigh the rewards.

How exactly did you lose yours? I'm getting that its random every time, but there must be something specific that is making people lose their IMEIs.

I might've said it wrong, but i had the original IMEI in the first place before i flashed the modem, and it would not work at all. But i have now flashed the new modem, but it just wont register now to the network.

well, im not sure if i understand what you meant anyhow,what was your modem before you flash the new one? was it working and able to connect and regster to network? if you made nandroid backup before flashing,restore it.
