camera chip+lens=complete camera
=> colors rendering+capturing=complete camera
color rendering = NOT WORKING
capturing=WORKING
SO WE CONCLUDE THAT YOUR PHONE's CAMERA CHIP HAS DAMAGED( i m no expert but it seems like so)

Maybe you can't clams this on to warranty because your phone camera is broken and its out of warranty

I think you can claim it because a two feet drop is not that high
hell_lock is correct, I did some research about mobile phones hardware and I think the same

claimed it,
funny reason : i got the damage after a software update from kies, well the one who checked it gave me my warranty and will be repaired by them.
But i will have to wait since it needs to be shipped to another place since we dont have a service center in our place

Odin back to stock and then reflash your ROM. Backup your internal sdcard before, Odin to stock wipes it.

sorry i didn't see this sooner.... sometimes simply rebooting your phone will fix it... it is probably lost indefinitely now. shouldn't have odined the device with it not showing your IMEI, that was bad advice.
in your spot right now, and somebody please jump in here and correct me if i am wrong, i know of no way to fix it. sorry buddy

yeah there is, but you have to have a backup of your original IMEI... which i assume you do not have. there is a thread about this issue in the dev section, and toolkit to back up your IMEI
just out of pure curiosity, what recovery are you using?

Nope, I do not have a backup.

Just search in the development section for imei recovery and there is one to get it back even without a backup. Might be issues with you not actually getting 4g again but this way you can return it back to complete stock.

Will do. Hope I get 4G.. that was my main purpose on T-Mo.

flashing without following the instructions
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium

That's not true. Very experienced android flashers have lost theirs, it's a fluke within the recovery and flashing a rom or modem anything being flashed has been reported to make it being lost. Only thing is I think TRWP hasn't been reported to cause it being lost. Anywho... back it up.

Unless the s3s in diff batches are really different.
Has to be sloppy flashing. Jumping to jellybean without wiping data or using superwipe from the Hercules or something.
I've tried losing my imei.
I can't do it.
I had 3 s3s in my hand tonight. Posted with 2
Maybe using cwm from a different phone besides Sprint?

Please help ! [Q] Galaxy note 2 showing NO SIM after update and root

As the title says I update to 4.1.2 on thursday from stock 4.1.1 after update chexk everything worked and went ahead and rooted this beast . So then I had rooted stock 4.1.2 NO problems. Everything worked perfectly until Saturday afteroon when I went to exchange my batteries and accidentally took my sim card out also , which I thought was no big deal . Placed sim card back into phone booted up and then I got the Notification of No Sim please insert Sim . Checked and double check I put sim in correctly even tried different Sim but it doesnt work at all.
So I thought I could just figure it out on my on so just did some searching and trouble shooting attempted to flash a few different kernals and modems for phone found in the Dev section Stickies .
EVEN UNROOTED and went back to stock 4.1.1 and updated again to No avail tried root injected stock roms Nothing works .
I REALLY NEED HELP GETTING THIS TO READ MY SIM CARD AND WORKING BACK TO NORMAL , AS I USE IT FOR WORK AND SCHOOL .
Edit : when I rooted I made a back up but while flashing odin and unrooting I forgot about it and guess it got deleted wish I would of rememered right away and used it to revert back and see if that could of fixed it .

What method did you use to root?

I bought it in store but from an Tmobile Employee about a Month ago still had everything brand new basically jist used for for 3 weeks still have receipt and box .
Also I cant really tell if its the software just not reading it or me messing up something with the hardware or tray as u said . (Which I doubt ) read up in seen other people had this problem when phone was first release but no real fix posted but did say usually software issue .

Still Show NO SIM in phone but does show my imei number .
soo now im on root injected 4.1.2 with twrp recovery and mb4 modern to no avail. PLEASE HELP

if every software didnt work then i guess it could be hardware problem

I was sarting to believe my self also that thos could be a hardware issuse questions is I see on samsungs website my drvice is still in warranty so should I send it into them or tmobile ? Also would it be easier to try and replace sim card try my self ? Another option and some local phone repair shop ?

Make a nandroid and backup you're apps...
Then flash a stock rom... when you're done changing the number... flash back...
I'm just guessing this is the easiest way... somebody else might know a trick to help without the flashing..

May not be the swiftest, but it seems valid and sound. I recently had the mother board of my phone replaced, and used the nand I had on my SD card restored in minutes. The repair shop had to port my phone number to the new board. New board equals new serial number equals required to port number equals nand not impacted by new number.
