Hey, I have had my Samsung epic flashed to Boost Mobile for about 4 months now and I was wondering do i just update the profile to have it switched back to sprint?
If not, then how would i switch the service back to sprint?

Guessing here, probably using Odin and the stock EC05 tar file.

Yeah... I would prbbaly not exactly sure restet the codes in the phone to stock... but not complately sure.

Use Odin to flash the stock ec05 .tar, and make sure the "phone efs clear" option is checked. I also check Re-partition, Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time, but thats up to you. Just check the software IMEI both before and after. You shouldn't have to worry about the phone bootloader update.
im not talking about getting a custom rom back to stock...im talking about changing the service back to sprint, the programs that were used were not odin but QPST, cdma workshop, and some other program. I would like to know how to get it back to sprint service or have someone do it for me
I believe what BoominSVX is saying is that the phone efs clear option will rebuild all those settings that were changed by QPST, CDMA, Workshop, QXDM Pro, etc. and will make it use the hardware values that were overwritten by software via those apps. I've never done this but after googling a bit about "phone efs clear" I think thats probably a good bet.
same path here

im on the same pathh ... im actually do the odin thing and check the boxes to wipe all that and sort of work i have calls now and txt but i couldnt get any data no background datat no web browser no data apps . . its just voice and txt any sugestions guy s ?
should a flash a modem kernel ?? or what ?? and the phone registracion wont go thru either or update profile . anything to do with data it also tells me your user name and password are not recognized or something like taht . PLEASE HELP GUYS. THNAKS IN ADVANCE !!!
went to bed last night with 4g speeds and everything...turned phone on this morning and now im stuck on EDGE:2 and i just cant get it back to regular hspa+....can anyone lend a hand?? been like this all day and its driving me crazy
EDIT/SOLVED: idk how but it fixed it right up...back in july when the whole IMEI scare was going on,i waited until Peoplearmy released a way to back up and restore the IMEI. All though i didnt have a IMEI problem i was dealing with a random data loss problem and the restore method said it could fix that too. yesterday i tried to restore 7 qnc backup files i previously made( made one for each new modem released and then used the generate qnc option just to be sure) and NONE OF THEM WORKED! 10 minutes ago, i realized that i never tried restoring the very very first qnc back up on my phone; i was busy restoring all the newer versions. so i restored that very first qnc back up i ever made, rebooted the phone and now i get HSPDA with my first speed test resulting in 18mbps! i think a tear came from my eye! this issue drove me crazy all day yesterday so to those who never made a qnc back up on your phone i suggest you DO IT NOW....never know if you wake up one day and just lose your 4g data, like me.
Sounds like you lost your IMEI. Check out this thread:

i have my IMEI...i know all about the IMEI issue and that dosent seem to be the problem im having...imei is in intact, i can text and call but I just cant get pas EDGE:2
i was stock on edge also but i did lose IMEI , if you have a NV backup maybe try to restore it or maybe try a different modem.
Does it stay this way when you go to a different area? You may want to call tmobile, they're doing a lot of work all over their network and it could be an issue with the tower.
Try putting it to wcdma preferred/only and see if that helps. Dialer code *#4636#

YOU Sir are Awesome. Had the same issue and had tried a few of the peoplearmy qnc's as well. I was just about to re-ODIN my S3 as the next step when I came across this thread.... I had never tried my original qnc either, and when I did it worked like a champ! Thanks so much for pointing out something that should have been so obvious to me.! :good::good::good:
currently using the resources i found in this thread.
thanks for the OP. and thanks for the links.....im still working mine out....pretty sure i lost IMEI due to the ODEX app in the FrostyJB rom i just installed......
I am sure this will get worked out and ill post my experiance as well...
OP, did you just notice slower speeds or was your phone stuck on E? I rooted last night and notice slower speeds.

Can someone help me get my 4G restored? I lost my imei number ( was set to 0), I was able to use nv_items_reader_writer along with the SGS3 nv gen to inject my correct imei number back into the phone.
I have checked under status and my imei is no longer 0 & displays the correct imei, but still no 4G - only edge.
I then made a full nv backup, then restored that backup, but still nothing.
Lastly, I have even tried going into the hidden menus that take you into the phone setup/network setup & that did not work.
I am on the stock rooted rom (root66)
I did not have a original nv backup, hence why I am here lol
any other ideas?

I also have this problem on my LG Optimus g (e970) this is the attached version but I'm on T-Mobile. I have rooted and am running a debloated stock ROM. I have never lost my imei info but I had to make some APN files to get my data to work. I can get 4g to work by restarting the phone and then I have 4g until I lose it and then its locked on to edge. I don't believe I have ever seen the 3g symbol either.

I seriously doubt there's anything that we could do for your problem. The tools we have to work with the IMEI and nv items have only worked for the S3 for me. Tried on several other Samsung models with no success.
Plus if it were to work on your device you'd already have had backups created. Like the OP said, he had to restore the original backup he had made before his problem ever occupied.
Have you tried flashing back to stock? Have you considered that with all the network upgrades T-Mobile has done that maybe the changes you made before to make it work are no longer valid? Have you called T-Mobile to make sure it's not a tower problem on their side?
Also, it's completely normal to never see 3g in the status bar...at least for our S3's anyway.

I flashed the new JB roms with the JI4 modem and couldn't connect to 4G. It would only connect to Edge and my download speed was super slow. Anyways, I wiped everything, reflashed several times with now progress. Now I've flashed it back to ICS LH2 hoping it would solve the problem but still doesn't work.
How do I fix this? Thanks in advance.

I think your IMEI is corrupted. it happens, sometimes, when you flash non-touchwiz roms. You can try using the tool in this thread to recover your IMEI:

if imei was corrupted wouldnt they get no service at all? also op did you try flashing the i7 modem? might help
Something similar happened to me.does it say 4g up to or edge?
I fixed this by using Odin and going back to full stock image that the phone came with. Let me know if you need a copy and I'll send you a link.

Hello,
I hope someone has some idea as to what I can do to fix my T889 Note 2 as right now it has no signal, does not register on the TMobile network and even worse, after playing with it some more it seems I have erased the IMEI in the EFS folder... Here is what I did:
I was initially using the Jedi X 7.2 ROM with Perseus Kernel, and everything was just fine. But I guess I was itching for something else :laugh: ... Reading thru the threads here I saw that some of us had flashed AT&T roms like Cleanrom without any problems. They said Cleanrom did not include an AT&T radio so it would work just fine for the T889. But just to be sure, after full wipe and flashing Cleanrom, I have also flashed a Tmobile Modem and Perseus Pernel for T889. That's when the problems started....
After flashing Cleanrom I had NO signal and the network unknown message... At that point the phone still showed the IMEI number... I have tried going back to Jedi X and Odin back to stock, nothing helped.... It still showed Unknown Network, and Not registered on network, impossible to make calls....
Reading some more thru other XDA threads I saw that someone had posted a solution that had worked for him by going into the Service menu (by pressing *#197328640#) and then going to UMTS, then COMMON then NV REBUILD and then ERASES ALL EFS1/2/3....
At that time I was pretty desperate and seeing that it had worked for someone else with a similar problem I tried it immediately... Now that I really give it some thought, I can't believe I pressed Erase all EFS !! :laugh:
That's when I also got the phone showing me IMEI 0.... I guess now I have lost my IMEI as well? I have not made any backups, so restoring is not an option for me at this point !!
Would anyone have any ideas to help me revive this phone? thanks a lot :victory:
P.S. I should add that I still do have the IMEI number of course, it's written on the back of the phone and the original box as well...

Dude i lost my imei when i had my gs3 back in july.. I had no one to help me... thanks for hooking the dude up i can only wish someone like you helped me back then... you da man!!!!:good:
appreciate your kind words bro! I hope this helps him get his phone to work again. :fingers-crossed:
I would love to know if this worked for the people that posted no IMEI... If you could post if this worked... It would let me know to keep these two files in a special recovery folder. Thanks
Thanks very much Addis !!! I truly hope this works, will try as soon as I get home from work, in about an hour or so... After trying so many things I have doubts about everything now, but I am keeping my fingers crossed
(UPDATE) : Have managed to download the rom, I am not sure if the file is corrupted or anything, but I keep getting an error message: E:Can't open / external_sd/deodexed_UVALJ1.zip (bad)
Weird, since other roms have flashed just fine....
guys, one thing you MUST DO with gsm devices... back up your IMEI... this is actually stored in a partition on your device, and as of recent there is a handy little app in the themes and apps section to back it up. it is a free app found on the market and offered here on xda. before this there was a tool somebody created to back up and restore this partition
here is the app... download this, back up your IMEI (your efs partition). https://play.google.com/store/apps/...omizer&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDNd

Have you gone into the settings menu, more settings, mobile network and tried connecting to T Mobile that way? If that doesn't work then try to reflash stock T Mobile ROM with Odin and it should reset your network.

Hello again,
Bestplayer55 and anyone else who might need this, this is the tool I have used:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1801997
It's written for the Galaxy S3 for AT&T and other carriers, but it worked for me on the T889 Note 2. Try to read all the instructions carefully .
One of the things you have to do is change a setting in the hidden menu which you access by dialing *#7284# using the stock dialer. In the hidden menu or PhoneUtil menu select USBSettingsMenu choose the correct mode and click ok. The correct mode for the Galaxy S3 is called RMNET + DM + MODEM mode, there was NO SUCH setting for my NOTE 2, but there is one that's very similar, so I chose that....
Then you jump to the section called IMEI Injection ... Pay attention to the way the IMEI is entered, it's a specific sequence, almost backwards....
You have the Instructions in the original thread there, or here:

In the end thanks to Peoplearmy for developing this tool.
P.S. I just got home from work, so I will keep trying to flash different roms, now that I got my IMEI number back... Hopefully I can restore service as well...

Have you gone into the settings menu, more settings, mobile network and tried connecting to T Mobile that way? If that doesn't work then try to reflash stock T Mobile ROM with Odin and it should reset your network.

Thanks a lot for the suggestions, I believe I have tried them before I lost my IMEI number, but I will try them again, it won't hurt !!
Phone is going back to Samsung for repair.... Nothing I have tried has worked ... Let's see what they can do
Hey I was messing with this on my T-Mobile Note II and I changed my RAT mode to WCDMA and now I'm unable to get LTE.
I've done EVERYTHING. I've even ODIN restored it. It WILL NOT connect to LTE anymore. Nothing I do to it makes it want to connect to LTE.
What do I do? Why won't it connect to LTE anymore even after flashing the factory image?
Will erasing EFS1/2/3 do anything to help or is that a really bad idea?
I have no clue what else there is to do. I've tried loading NV defaults but it gives an error for whatever reason.
I got a rooted G3 D850 from a guy, and flashed Cloudy 2.2. 3G is not working when I select WCDMA from network mode even all the APN setting s are correct. As soon as I select WCDMA, the mobile signals disappear. I had D850 in past and never had this issue over cloudy or any ROMs. What might be the issue, maybe some messed with hidden menu (3845) settings?

Could it possibly be a problem with the network frequency that your carrier runs on>?

Check your EFS data.
IMEI # should not read 0
NV data could also be corrupt.
In that case you have to research how to get it back to normal or pay a shop to repair it back for you.
Back to stock .tot or .kdz flash wont fix this problem.
Neither will a factory reset.
Always backup your EFS data especially when your phone is healthy and everything's working normally!

Actually I was not expecting that the values would be affected by using the hidden menu to fix my network to LTE only. I later changed it to sort of GLOBAL (GSM/WCDMA/LTE) but that didnot fix it.
I then backup my EFS and tinkered with hidden menu and i was successful in bringing back LTE, however, I am stuck with no 3g. I guess I will need to work with QPST and QXDM now. I am now making a second backup with EFS tool.
I just thought it wouldnot go too far that I will need to JTAG it.
Imei is fine. Just need to see NV values and would update!
UPDATE :
Strangely all the NV values are right. I restored my EFS to old state (I have two backups). The LTE is gone again. (this was immediately after LTE and 3g were gone) while flashing other EFS does enable back LTE. So it is all in the hidden menu!
I tinkered with LTE again in hidden menu and it is working again.

1. go in backup tab
2. select all partitions
3. Select 3 partitions
backup modem, modemst1 and modemst2 and upload it for me so I can try to restore the settings to see if that works.
You will need root and busybox installed.
Many thanks!
Thats awesome!
Glad you got it working quickly.
Took me a week with my G2 trying to figure it out since most of the guides didn't fix my problem 100%
It would fix then 3 minutes later I'd lose 3G & 4G again
I had to find a QCN file load that and then work with both QPST and EFS Pro to get it working.
Needed all #s to correct it.
Mine finally fixed when the MEID was corrected as well.
That was weird bc I dont ever remember changing it the first
Place!

Cheers mate but actually , 3g is not working. Could you get me the two files / QCN etc for me to flash on my device ?
Not EFS because that has device specific information as well.
I would be really glad if you can mate!
Many thanks!

It was for my G2.
It's a different phone.
Google gsmforums lg g3 qcn and see if you can find the qcn file that way.
Thats how I found the one for my G2
Edit
Did a search and found this site.

Thanks alot for guiding me in the right direction. Restoring QPN file really helped via QPST > Software Download Mode > Restore QPN.
However, the qcn file you mentioned is for another device!
QCN file must be device specific.
Good Luck to all of you and this is going to be a reference in case someone wants to fix their QPN (updating the link below)

Thats why I mentioned looking for the LG G3 and gave the proper link.
Always confirm before you flash!!!
