I haven't been able to find a solution to this yet. I rooted my phone last night and after that, I lost my signal. All I get in the top corner is the circle with the line through it in place of the signal bars. I've tried everything I can think of. I've re-downloaded the files and re-flashed my phone twice. I've even unrooted my phone and put the stock rom back on there and still nothing. I'm kind of at a loss right now and could use some advice on how to fix this. So if anyone knows a solution to this I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks in advanced for your help.

I am having this same issue...sadly
I've never had this happen with any of my other devices. Will I have to unroot back to stock, or can I use a stock rooted ROM? Because after dialing ##72786# in the dialer, it rebooted, and now says "Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped" every two seconds...and still no service.
I'm worried, but am confident someone should be able to help me out on xda. I'm so impressed at all of the work that takes place on here. I wish I had the time to be able to learn how help others like myself in situations like this. :highfive:
Thanks to whoever can help.

Out of curiosity what happens when you do *#06# in the dialer? U still get a imei? Phone for closing is intriqing. Make a nadroid, wipe data/factory reset and format /system as well then reflash ur rom. If ur good after that advance restore the /data from ur nandroid
Yes, I do still have the MEID.

Hey...I found out why I didn't have service and was able to fix it. When I had flashed AOKP, there is a setting in the Mobile Networks screen to change the CDMA subscription to RUIM/SIM. Somehow (probably playing around) I changed it from the NV to RUIM/SIM. THEN, I nandroided back to stock, and had no service. As far as I know, that CDMA Subscription option isn't on the STOCK ROM...so I was baffled. Good thing I remembered what I did.
Thanks for all of your help.
Can anyone direct me to a link to alleviate an issue with only getting 1x data with AOKP? I can't seem to find a fix for it yet...I think I might not even have data actually...

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.

He restored his imei. Might be your solution as well. Check if ur imei is 0.
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.
any other ideas?

If you let it go all the way through HFA once it won't return. Since you removed sprintandroidextension.apk I'm not sure it will succeed now. Try re-adding that first.

I would have thought so too. As I've been advised by other as well. But...
I have, at least five times, run a return to stock, both through ODIN and OneClicks.
I still have the issue. Baffles the mind. Makes little sense. But there it is. And I'm not the only one.
(Just so it's noted, and before you accuse me otherwise, I am not new at this, and I follow directions fastidiously. I've never once had a problem that I didn't cause myself, and I've always been able to fix them by further reading/researching.)
Just for SnG's I'll quote myself and others from a few other posts in other threads:

Just my 2 cents, my experience with this error.
I'm getting the Chameleon FC, and the persistent HandsFree Activation on every reboot. All started when I lost wifi on the LK8 update zip (I was rooted, thanks to Voodoo OTA rootkeep), and tried to get back to LJC...
And this morning, I tried the following:
Installed TWRP with GooManage, restored a nandroid from my orig rooting using the toolkit, no luck, same two errors.
So then I OneClicked the Full Restore (SPH-L900_LJC_Stock_Restore.exe), and wtf, still there.
As I mentioned in my quote, it (the Note2) works, not broken, but I find the persistent error worrisome.
I am open to criticism, suggestions, whatever. What am I missing?

I'm having similar issues, I was on the release before LK8, then updated to LK8 but wanted to start over again.
Once i downgraded to LJ1? the hands free bug kept popping up every reboot, until I moved onto to LJC then LK8 update file which is fine.
I'm trying to figure out myself how to go back to the original firmware (pre any updates) without the issues... /subscribed.
Wonder if this is tied into it somehow...
I dunno, my head is exploding reading all these posts, replies.... 5 different versions of restore.

Also, I've been reading that re-flashing the LK8 update.zip (via sxtp?) while it seems to fix the HFA and ChameleonFC, it kills the wifi? (it killed my wifi after aprox 2 days use, when I orig updated...)

So I ended up returning my phone to Sprint, the swapped it out pretty easy, let them see the issue and error, they said "yeah, that ain't normal", got me a new one.
kingdazy said:
it would seem that the factors that all of us with this issue have in common are: a) rooting w/ ToolKit ver2 b) flashing LK8 update zip c) trying to return to stock LJC/LJ1 because of a wifi problem... please chime in if you have the issue, but not one of those factors?
After everything, I just returned to stock LJC w/ Flash Counter @ 0 (no) w/ the errors still present, took it into Sprint store said, 'hey guys, this is weird, i've got a persistent error, won't go away after resetting my phone." (IE, acted dumb enough to not have rooted/flashed unofficial shtuff/etc, but smart enough to know that it's a real issue), they looked at it, asked a few obvious questions, replaced it, because obviously something was wrong in a permanent way. I want to a corp store, not a "repair center". I think it was a good thing that these guys were not super techie.
I told them as little as possible, that I had a "wifi issue after an update, tried full reset (through the android settings menu, of course), and the problem didn't go away, no matter what". Once they heard that I had done a full factory reset, and saw the problem/error happen, it was a no-brainer to swap out.
I'll be avoiding the LK8 leak for now, and frankly gun-shy about the toolkit.

kingdazy said:
ok, to get back to stock, first use this OneClick to get to Stock+Root, it will wipe ALL internal memory except SD card:

Instructions are here:
http://www.sxtpdevelopers.com/showt...-TAR-SPH-L900-LJC-(LJC-Modem-Kernel-ROM-Stock)
then use TriangleAway, this will set your counter at 0 (reads as "no" in download mode). it should also say "Official" And "Samsung Official"
Then, if you want to get Total Stock unrooted, for returns to Sprint, or any other reason, use Odin (not mobile) to flash this:

Instructions for flashing that are here:

Good luck to the people with this error, I feel for you, very frustrating. I am hoping that Samsung releases an official OTA soon similar to LK8, that you will be able to flash that will fix the error and the wifi.
And I hope the devs are reading these posts (even if they are not responding), are at least looking into it.
I know we have the attentions of garwynn, he's made the SxTp team at least aware that there might be an issue.
You'll be seeing me.
Yeah, I have to give it up to garwynn, he hooked me up with the pit file for our phone. Good people.

I will test it either tonight or tomorrow depending on real life and get back to you. If you can't wait Odin back to stock and fix it for now then put CM10 back on. Just make sure you do a nandroid and you will be fine. Although your current setup might be corrupt and you will need to run TB or MBP for data only.
EDIT: I tested I already had v3 on my sd card and it worked it even updated my prl. Get the one that I posted which is v3 then d/l the upgrade and follow the upgrade instructions.

I did a hard reset on my phone but could not activate it.. How can I fix this?
Thanks

You could flash a ns4g modem via odin, then use the ns4g modem patch for cm10 with then gives you the option to update profile and prl in settings

Long story short, with above average ROM knowledge, and two previous successful flashes under my belt, I flashed Slimbean JB 4.2.1 Beta1 for my Sprint GS3 SPH-L710, and all was quite fine until I messed with menu/security/SIM PIN. Though I thought I was setting it for extra phone security, I actually implemented an unknownst-to-me feature that upon the following reboot, the phone requested a PUK code for a now-locked SIM card (my phone doesn't have a SIM card by the way).
After a long CS call to Sprint, including International Sprint, I was told to go to a local store. The short part of this story is that no one has been able to help. You see, since I DON'T have a SIM card, I have no ID to provide to Int Sprint for them to find a PUK code for me to enter. Although, I've had many troubles in doing so, I have since been able to reset the phone to stock factory settings; HOWEVER, this has NOT removed the PUK code screen, which prevents me from using the phone at all.
I am out of ideas of things to change, alter or fix to get rid of this issue. I have tried CWM and TWRP solutions with no success. In a sense, although I can do anything with the phone - recovery, download, flashing - except actually use the OS, I would consider this phone as useless as if it were bricked at this point. Any ideas from out there would be appreciated. Thanks.
Have you tried Odin

I would try flashing an odin stock tar, then re-rooting.
Nothing in recovery, such as a full wipe, factory and system reset fixed the problem?
This is good info to know. Please let us know of a solution if you find one - good luck!

I can use and have used Odin - no problem. I have full access to the device, just none to the OS.

I have successfully returned boot, system and recovery to stock, but this has not resolved the overriding issue. I don't believe I have tried to re-root since doing so. Perhaps that is worth a try.
EDIT: rerooting after Odin stock flash did not help the issue.

I am afraid none of these tasks worked. This issue must reside somewhere recovery can't get to, and only the OS can. The software is likely built so that a regularly performed task can't override a security issue - even if it is a false issue.

This happened on my nexus and I had to get a new phone because your phone is basically locked at that point and I did try random codes and one of them worked but my lte didn't work after that neither did MMS so I just kept calling sprint non stop for a replacement and they finally gave in and gave me an exchange for free

Did you have to contact International Sprint CS or just regular? How long exactly did you badger them? Had you flashed the phone, increasing your Binary count? If so, did Sprint not hit you with a bill after replacement? Just curious, as I have really upped my count due to recovery flashes to try to fix the phone. I think I can still get a Samsung E-ticket through Sprint store for about $37.00. But again, I am concerned about the flash count, and being unable to reset it. Perhaps I should do what I can to really brick it once and for all before I turn it over.

I don't think this will work seeing as he's already flashed an odin stock tar which brought the phone back to stock everything. :/

He wanted to reset the flash counter and go to pure stock so he could take it to the Sprint store.

Handsfree Activation?
I don't think Sprint even implements that rule anymore so he should definitely be fine. Have you tried handsfree activation ------>
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1670131
Maybe give that a whirl. I believe you must be on stock tw for this to work effectively which it sounds like you should now be on.
On second thought, your phone may not even allow you get as far as being able to dial the activation number, but just thought I'd throw it out there.

Yeah, I don't have any access to the phone OS whatsoever. Sprint tech has it now; doing some kind of process which includes a 40-minute file extraction and a 30+minute flash. Perhaps that will finally reset everything. If not, Sprint has already said it will then replace the phone.
Received a new GS3 today and I'm back in the game. Thank you to everyone who tried to assist me. In the end, no one on any forum, not Sprint, and not even Samsung could correct the original phone problem. The moral - be very cognizant and careful when flashing any CMDA variant of a native GSM ROM, as there could be settings within them regarding the SIM cards that GSM's do have, but CMDA's do not, or perhaps other harmful settings if messed with or changed. This warning is really nothing new to anyone flashing custom ROM's; it's simply another hard-learned lesson by one person whose adding more truth to the usefulness of such warnings.
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...

Sorry you had to go through this man.. i was going through the same thing when i first got my phone. Xda didn't have a forum for the T-Mobile Note II so i decided to root and flash one of the international version Roms without even making a backup first (dumb of me) then i went ahead and flashed "Android Revolution HD" Rom and lost signal and IMEI showed Unknown.. so i asked for help but no answers.. and then "cmenard" dropped a stock Rom which i'm going to link you to.. i flashed that and flashed the modem on top and that solved the problem for me. So i will go ahead and give you the link to the Stock Rom and the modem i flashed to get my phone to work. Please follow the instrucations. Hope this helps!

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

Thank you Addis, no need for you to upload, it seems I finally got a proper download... Flashed it with TeamWin Touch Recovery and no changes, I will try to flash it with CWM also, but that has given me problems with this file.... let's see... Thanks for your help, I will hit your thanks button as soon as I finish writing this...
If all else fails, I will just go ahead and return everything to factory settings and send it in for repair....
P.S. I should mention that I have used a tool found on the GS3 AT&T threads which has worked for my T889 to re-inject my IMEI number back... So now my IMEI number shows up again... But that's about it... Network is still listed as UNKNOWN and Status is listed as Disconnected...
Bestplayer55 I will send you a link to the thread where I have found the program used to reprogram your IMEI, in the evening when I get home.... While it has helped me get my IMEI back, I am still stuck without network or signal, but it may help you more

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:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2077805
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...

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.
