I was wandering if I lost my rooted phone and someone put a ROM on it and the imei changes. Can my phone company still blacklist it since the imei changes?
And if the phone blacklisted, would the phone work on other carrier if the person unlock it?
Can phone company track who using the phone? Like who login with their gmail and other account? Or which WiFi the connect to? Or which Sim card was used on the phone?

They have a number of apps to help with phone recovery.
Plan b, Prey, and Cerberus are a few.
Rooting your phone doesn't make it easier for a thief to use when stolen, however

the radios just make your device compatible. You can't get service without the providers sim

Hi all....
How I can disable "Hands free activation" ???
my phone not rooted...
Regards
I would also like to know this since my E4GT has never been activated on any Sprint account. Brand new out of the box replacement from Samsung, no plans on activating with Sprint.

The only way I know to deactivate it is flash it on the carrier you want it on... Other than that, it's going to keep trying to connect to Sprint.

My phones flashed to cricket and almost all touchwiz roms do this, if you want it to end flash aosp, it doesn't have hand free activation.
Even on AOSP it shows up when you reboot. You can skip it and it is hidden until you reboot again.

So I have been reading around and people have been saying to be careful flashing because you could wipe your imei...I've never heard of this coming from the t989...I was always under the impression the imei was permanently in your phone.
What exactly causes this, how can it be prevented, and how should I back up my imei?

No one knows the how, what or why. As far as I know though its not much of an issue anymore, but can still hapoen.
Only thing you can do is prep for it.

This happened to me once after flashing several roms and I could not get 4G speeds, it took me a while to figure out it that my IMEI was blank and t mobile records showed I had a Sony Ericsson phone...so weird. I was able to restore the IMEI through the link above, get 4G back and I haven't lost it again.

I've done nothing at all lately and my phone says no sim all of a sudden, I've tried restarting many times and nothing. Any insight into this issue?

Have you tried taking the sim out and checking for dust? I know in my older phone it would say that. I would pop the sim out, blow on it, and pop it back in. It would then work.
If not, just an idea.
Tried it

Did you try another working sim?
Your Imei number maybe blocked a friend of mine paid for a phone on Craig's list and it was working fine and the a week later the sim stopping working so we called sell provider they said the phone was reported lost or stolen also we tried other sim cards didn't work still that's what made us call
