OK, Now that we have our own section. How Many REAL IMEI Issues?

With all of the forums merged it was so hard to get a read on the real amount of IMEI Problems by AT&T Users.
So a quick poll / count. Who has lost their IMEI on AT&T.

I lost my IMEI on my first Sgs3, went flash happy (only AT&T ROMs) but still had data and cell. Not sure where I lost it, but I noticed when I was flashing back to rooted stock from early CM10 preview (official) is when I noticed.
So far with my new phone, I've done the same and still have it. I'm now running Aokp jellybean.

I've had no problems as of today but the fear of losing my imei has definitely caused me to not experiment as much as I would like to! I've rooted, installed CWM-Touch, flashed Ktoonsez Kernel, and flashed back to the AT&T Kernel. I'm honestly afraid to try CM as it seems that ALOT of the people who have lost their IMEI had flashed CM10 or CM9. I bought a Galaxy Tab 2 7" a few months back and it's become my tinker toy to flash ROM's and mess with. I don't want to screw up my $500 Galaxy S3, I like it too much!

I voted as flashed a few, but really it is probably closer to many. Only AOSP based ROMs though. CM9, CM10, and AOKP plus updates for each. Also both Faux and Ktoonsez kernels at various times. IMEI still present.
I do make sure that I flash the EXACT same way every time though since it has worked so far. Only thing I have changed now is moving from latest non-touch CWM (installed through ROM Manager) to latest TWRP (through Goo Manager).
If I end up losing my IMEI without adding variables to my flash process, I will start to believe it is a random occurrence. Until then I have to think partial user error coupled with a bad update script or recovery.
I ALWAYS download the file straight to my phone via WiFi.
Reboot into recovery. Wipe>Factory reset.
Flash ROM.
The last couple days since moving to TWRP I have felt more ballsy and did things a bit differently.
For the first time, I also wiped cache and Dalvik before flashing JB AOKP last night
Still no issues.
Today I decided to flash the ktoonsez JB kernel. I usually only download via WiFi at home (just to keep minimal variables in flashes) but today I did it at work via WiFi. Still have IMEI.
I have NEVER done a Format System so not sure if that might break something.
My process has been if it isn't breaking, try to keep the process as consistent as possible. If something does go wrong, I can say what I did differently. I also haven't had any trouble with the ROMs I flashed despite only doing factory reset then flash.

How do I know if I have any issues with this. What do I look for. I found out and mines good.

I know you found out, but when it happens you will know.
In some cases it seems as though you only get Edge at your maximum speed, in others your mobile data completely died. Generally speaking, there was a lot of confusion and some issues with clarity regarding the issue.
It's possible that there are several different (but vaguely related) issues going around, now that we have our own carrier based forums that should actually help clear it up in my opinion.
Hopefully we will all reach a general consensus on the acceptable recovery (my vote is TWRP!) and method of flashing. The only thing I've personally considered is that it might be an issue with the files transferring via MTP (only because I've never used a phone with MTP instead of mass storage).
I don't think people should be THAT afraid to flash though. If your flash counter is at 0, Samsung should do a warranty swap for you. In addition, it seems like 2 in 25 people (read: NOT FLASHES, but people.) seem to get the issue based only off of the very small number of people in this poll so far.
The reason the issue is so feared is because those that do get it will inevitably be far more vocal than those that don't as they try to find a solution and vent their frustration. Most of the people in the major thread about it didn't have the issue, but were afraid they might lose their IMEI.

I flashed the stock rooted tar that doesn't trip your counter, then injected CWM with dd. I've flashed everything with CWM since then, CM10 included (once) and I still have my IMEI. I'm running AOKP JB now.

I'm about to root and cwm what's your guys input on the best ways

ppl who scared to flash
Go for nontrip flash root + CWM topic - worked for so many people without issues.
The only way to screw up IMEI with these ROMs is via Odin, I think. Odin is a scary tool without much documentation, and in past used to be buggy.
Once you get CWM - do not use Odin.

Odin is a scary tool indeed. Someone in the IMEI thread said if I was feeling feisty to flash stock nonrooted OTA ROM via Odin straight from JB AOKP. IMEI is still intact after all that I have done. :laugh:
EDIT: Also, anyone who reads this. Try out TWRP. We need more people flashing with TWRP, if an IMEI goes missing while using it we can rule out CWM being the problem as some have suggested.

CM 10 from CMTeamEpic nightlies

Has anyone still been getting these nightlies? Just checked this and had an update for cm10.1 which I thought was odd because it says the romantic was abandoned and I installed the update and now there is no service on my phone. Wifi still works though anyone else have this problem?

Are you talking about CMTeamEpic's CM10.1 nightlies? If so, I have flashed them as well. Once I do (regardless of a CM10 --> CM10.1 or Stock rooted GB/ICS --> CM10.1), I get the same problem with the modem. Under the about tab of settings, I see "Baseband Version Unknown". As seen in the attached screenshot. I'm going to continue to play around with the builds to see if I can find a workaround. Have you found one yet?
EDIT: I have also tried flashing the build then flashing the FF18 modem and then FL24 modem (both are ICS modems from rwilco) to no avail.
EDIT 2: You might want to change (or ask a moderator to change) the title of the OP to CM10.1, since that's what you're asking about.
EDIT 3: I figured out what the problem was. Some files leftover after flashing conflict with the 4.2.2 CM10.1 build. What I did to fix it was this: backup any important files on the internal memory, flash back to a stock ICS build (I chose FF18), factory reset from within the build (this clears everything on the internal memory), flash to a rooted ICS build (again, I chose FF18), flash a safe CWM bootloader, and flash the nightly you want. Hope this helps. Respond or PM me if you want more details.

dastin is using phantom freaks build bot and will be generating his nightlies. that's what your seeing. The other dev works was abandoned.
clean flash since its an entirely diff kernel now.

Sorry tried a couple different ways then gave up and went to CM 10.1 wild on the night. But what had happened was I was on CMTeamEpic's CM 10 4.1.2 and it sent me a CM 10.1 nightly in the CMupdater and I Installed it and the modem was crap but now that there is a work around for Netflix on Wild I'm sticking to this one. sorry I responded so late been crazy busy with work and what not.

[HELP] WiFi not working on any ROM but CM 10.1

WiFi is not working on any rom except CM. I have wiped everything clean and done clean installs of Liquid Smooth 2.9 and AOKP MR2 and still nothing. I have event switched recoveries from CWM to TWRP and the GAPPS im using are 20130301. I am totally out of ideas here. I can live with CM but I really want to try AOKP MR2 as I hear it is quite good.

Sounds like you might have flashed a newer Kernel with update WiFi drivers. I've read where that's happened and you have to revert (somehow?) to the old drivers for compatibility. I think this was an issue in KT's kernals, but you might want to do some reading and research on your own.

Could be. I'd go back and read the instructions and changelog for it. If it loaded a different driver, you will need to re-flash the stock wifi driver, not usually included with other ROMs. Not sure if flashing the modem files would include those either.

So where would I score the default driver?

I dunno. I suppose you could flash back to stock using one of the "toolkits" available and go from there. That would probably be my choice, but is probably the long way home, too.
Where have you looked so far? I don't use CM, so I haven't read those forums for you, but I would assume you aren't the only one to switch from CM to some other ROM.

[Q] WiFi not working on T-Mobile 4.3 Leak

Hello,
I've been having trouble getting WiFi to turn on for DocHoliday's T-Mobile 4.3 leak ROM. I'm coming from Stock UVDMD5 4.1.2. I performed a full wipe (formatted system, data, cache, dalvik cache) before installing the new modem and the rom. At first, data and wifi weren't working. After flashing the new modem again, data worked. WiFi however isn't fixed. When I turn WiFI on, it immediately turns off. Does anybody else have this problem? I also cannot access the internal storage on this phone via a computer.
T-Mobile 4.3 ROM:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=46862241&postcount=575
I downloaded the PureStock version. I performed an MD5 check and it verified with the one posted on the site.

What time did you download it? The first upload was corrupted and would only be about 400-500mbps in size. That was kinda early this morning though. You may want to consider redownloading.
Another thing to try is go to saranhai's AT&T port and download and flash the kernel at the bottom of the first post.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2501303
If that doesn't work, Odin flash.the root66 firmware, then try again.
And I don't ever suggest wiping /system prior to flashing a Rom. The Rom will do that for you, and if it won't flash for some reason you could get stuck with a device with no O/S!
The only time I had WiFi not work was due to a kernel btw. But I never released it so that shouldn't be the cause here...

I downloaded it after you edited the post saying that the upload was corrupted and that a new one was posted on the directory folder. I checked the MD5sum of the file that I downloaded and it matched the one on the site.

Try rebooting. That should solve it. If not flash the same kernel again. I know it's weird, but it's worked for others.

[Q] Need Help Flashing a ROM

Hi guys, sorry if this is stupid. I've flashed ROMs to 3 or 4 phones before this one and didn't have any issues with them, but this time around it doesn't seem so easy. My phone is a virgin mobile galaxy s2 (d710)
My phone has been rooted for a while and my stock ROM started randomly freezing up on me 4-5 times/day, so I finally decided to flash a ROM. The stickied post says to use odin mobile to flash to GB - EL26 Stock w/ CWM then to flash the ROM I want. Any ROM I tried flashing gave a status 7 error and aborted, EXCEPT for one ROM, and on that one I didn't even have working 3G? I believe this thread implied doing it any other way would be a hard brick.
I finally ended up using samsung's official upgrade tool in download mode to flash back to stock ROM, but it would be nice to get a custom on now that I've put time into it.
Can anyone point me in the direction I need to go?
Thanks
EDIT: I'm currently on the 4.1.2 stock ROM

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=50070702
I'm guessing you're trying to flash a KitKat ROM? Using Mobile Odin and EL26CWM will work when flashing 4.2.2 (and under) ROMs, but not KitKat. You'll need the last Blasphemy 6.6 kernel (just for the updated ClockworkMod), located in Original Development, for that.
In your case, you'll probably want to flash FJ12 or FL26 (if you can find it) modem zips, as you're on Virgin Mobile, and those are ICS Virgin Mobile modems, which you'll need to have working data/internet on Any AOSP ROM (JB modems won't work).
And this guide is assuming you're completely stock JB firmware, not rooted.

It looks like I'm on GB28 stock. I think agats caused a soft brick. I'm reflashing back to stock again now....I don't know what's going on with this phone.
Edit: Retried, got it to work this time. Thanks.
Is there a reason why you have to flash one recovery just to move onto another one? Would any recovery work installing any ROM? I'm a bit confused by all these different recoveries, since my last phone only needed one.

On this device, recovery comes bundled with the kernel. When you flash a ROM or kernel, the recovery that was on gets overwritten by the recovery that comes with the ROM/kernel you're flashing.
The reason everybody started using EL26CWM (gingerbread kernel) was due to a bug in the stock ICS firmware that was causing some people's devices to be permanently bricked when doing a factory reset.
Status 7 error when flashing is usually due to using a recovery that's too old.
So to answer your question... No, there is no "be-all, end-all" recovery for this device. Sorry [emoji20]
Glad you got it working though

Thanks for the help. Now that I'm running CM11, I don't have visual voicemail and it looks like I can't receive MMS.
Serious props to the people that use custom ROMs that aren't driven insane by bugs, I'm irritated by it already.
Know of any fix?

I don't know about visual voicemail... I'm flashed to Cricket and just use the built-in voicemail statusbar notification. Have you tried pushing the apk manually? I'm pretty sure I've seen Virgin Mobile fixes here in the d710 forum.
As far as MMS goes, have you tried messing with the APN's? I don't think MMS will work as-flashed, out-of-the-box for you without modifying them for Virgin.
If you're getting annoyed by bugs, have you given stock, rooted deodexed GB28 a try? When i get the TouchWiz itch, I run deodexed GB28, along with Agat's 1.3 kernel, TD's AIO mod, and Missing Link mod (both found in Themes and Apps of this forum).
I'm currently running Slimbean build 7 (4.2.2) as it's super lightweight, stable, and has good battery-life.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk

Do you know where I could find the voicemail apk?
Also, where can I mess with the APNs/what would work there?
The only reason I want a custom ROM at all is to be on KitKat. It honestly disgusts me a bit that google hasn't standardized versions....I don't get why every phone needs it's own ROM and never gets updated....
Thanks man.
Edit: I did find a MMS fix and visual voicemail all in one zip, but flashing it screwed the phone and I had to restore in recovery.

As far as editing APN's, I use Nova Prime launcher to create a shortcut on my homescreen to access them. Create shortcut to Activities/Settings/APNs and make your edits there.
Have you tried extracting the contents of the zip and manually applying those changes? Sorry but I wouldn't know anything else about configuring for Virgin. Maybe you could ask in that respective ROM thread, as I'm sure there are Virgin Mobile users there that have everything working.

Thanks for the ideas, I'm a bit slow sometimes when it comes to android/linux. I pulled the apk out of the zip, installed it, that's working fine. I just need to find a fix for my MMS. I can send but not receive.
Edit: I found a way to open the APN settings using voice dialer, but it's blank and choosing to add one, it does not save.

Just for clarification, if I want to flash a new ROM when I'm already on a custom, do I need to use odin mobile to flash back to that GB rom with CWM before I flash the recovery and new ROM? Or can I just wipe and flash new recovery from the one I have now?

If the new recovery you are talking about is safe to flash from...and the one you are currently using is safe to flash from...then you can just reboot recovery and wipe cache and dalvik, then flash new recovery and then reboot recovery. Now you will be on the new, safe, recovery. So do your wipes ( data, cache, dalvik cache and format system ) and flash the rom.
If you want to go the mobile odin way..in case the recovery you currently have cant flash the new recovery you need, in order to flash the rom of choice..which im assuming is kitkat. As it needs the most up to date recovery to flash properly.
Then i have a simple guide you can follow to flash a safe kernel/recovery, in which you can then flash the newer recovery for flashing the rom you have choosen.
Link to guide. Post 5 is what you need to read.
If this sounds complicated or confusing..please post a link to current rom you wish to install and i will read the op and point you down the correct path.

Thanks, I was looking to use either of these. I've had issues with ROMs so far because I'm on Virgin Mobile and lots of stuff is buggy. Not sure which of these will work best:

Yeah, I tried that one, it continually crashed my launcher every 3 seconds, had to reflash the ROM. It did give me the voicemail apk I needed though! Really if I could just get flash instructions for going from one rom to another, I'd be set probably.

Have you tried applying the changes and setting permissions in the zip manually, like with Root Explorer?

No, I'm honestly not sure how to do that. Linux's file structure is confusing to me. Granted I'm also having wifi problems on this rom too, it disconnects all the time.

It honestly isn't too difficult at all. All I see in the zip is a new apns-conf.xml (permissions are rw-r-r), 2 build.prop edits, and the deleting of telephony.db located in /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases
