No Service No IMEI on my T999

Hello guys, I need help. Last week i happened to install a custom rom on my t mobile s3 and after a while i decided to return its stock rom just to get a "no service" on the notification later after going on the settings there was no IMEI i have been trying to recover both but nothing seems to work. If anyone knows a way to gain back the signal and also the IMEI please help. Thanks

Same thing happened to mine, I tried to fix it, didn't work. So I just hard bricked it and switched it out for $5

Remember to backup your imei on the new phone

Days Later:
Problem resolved. You need QPST v2.7.378 and SGS3 QCN Generator (Peoplearmy). Although both I believe was created for the I535 (Verizon) it resolved my problem in which I'm able to get 3g/4g on my phone (T999) using the AT&T network after I repaired the IMEI.

Can you still see this thread? It says invalid thread specified for me.
I've been looking for this problem for almost a month and almost every xda thread link people post is dead.
Been stuck on Edge for almost a month, so finding these links that supposedly solve everything and then seeing they are not accesible to me is very frustrating. :/
Thanks in advance.

Need Help ASAP. No Service on S3

So I have a Telus I747M (Canadian) and I used ROM Manager to get CWM 6 on my phone. The thing is that I chose the Metro PCs version and I installed it. Now I have no signal at all. I flashed the firmware back to the stock telus one via USB and Odin. Still no service, anything to do now?

are you sure you flashed the right stock rom? Stupid question but it's always best to check. And did you get your phone from Metro or did you unlock it?

Try flashing any rom (like Cyanogenmod) and then use any of the many methods to re-unlock your phone to Metro and see if that helps.

If your IMEI shows 0, no amount of flashing will help you. You must restore you IMEI to have data working again. If you backed up your IMEI or EFS folder your set, just restore it.

I am in the same boat. Slow connection, rarely actually works. Had lost my imei, but restored it with the NV whatever.. Saved my QCN using QPST, then tried to use QCN restorer app, and am getting an error occurred blah blah.
I brought it in to AT&T yesterday, had a full restore completed and new sim card installed... no luck. guess i will keep trying stuff until its either bricked or back to normal haha

If your phone is SIM unlocked but region locked, RegionLock Away will unlock your phone. If it is SIM locked in addition to being region locked, RegionLock Away can't do anything for you on its own. There's two different locks in play here. If regular unlock methods didn't work (including paid methods of entering in the code), RegionLock Away should finish getting rid of the lock.

If you're on a custom rom, and you're on 4.3, you do not have access to the service menus. You need to be on a stock Samsung rom and on 4.2.2.
When I'm talking about paid codes, I'm talking about the unlocker services online that require you to tell them your IMEI, not the RegionLock away app.

Ok, so rnd 2 happened last night. I reverted back to 4.2.2 via http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2258628but yet again i cant make calls. So now what can be wrong? Is ot cause on on mk2? I tried to go to md modem but i kept gettin fail in odin...if i make a call the recipient sees it...but nothing..

When i try this method i an get all the way to step 6. When there i do t have an option 3, just 1 option. So wtf??????? Grrrrrrr

I would have thought the stock MDL firmware would have also reverted the modem to MDL. I suggest finding one that does (re-ODIN this one first - I recall a few people said they had to do it twice) , as possibly both the ROM and Modem need to be MDL for the unlock process to work.

OK. You have to be completely stock in order for this to work. I am not sure why you are getting a fail message on Odin. Can you maybe give us a description of how you are doing it? The Sim unlock thread clearly says you have to be completely stock which will be android version 4.22 with MDL. You are back on 4.22 but you still have the mk2 modem. We will have to figure out how to get you completely stock before we can go any further.

Go here http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=14362 and download the 4.22 file for M919. The link should go directly to it. Follow their instructions and you should be completely stock one you're done. Once your done be sure to test your device and make sure you have sound. If you don't have sound you most likely have a hardware problem so you will have to root again and reset your counter then unroot so you can return your device if you haven't voided your warranty. If you do have sound then go back here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2283068 and Sim unlock your phone and profit. Good luck!

Will not register to network

hello ladies and gents I bought a note 3 yesterday from some dude thinking I could fix it and get a note 3 on the cheap. I was wrong the problem is hard to fix.
1 It will not register to network
it is not blacklisted or network blocked.
Ive read somewhere that after you register to many different sims it wont allow it to connect to network anymore.
what can I do I wonder as a last ditch effort if I replace the motherboard if that will work any suggestions please?

Have you tried updating the firmware? check the APN on the phone once you insert the sim.

You could try taking it to a T-Mobile store to see if they can get it to register. Sometimes they can activate it when you can't.

Well, that's interesting.
If you go to settings, mobile networks, and search for networks, can you select the network and have it register?
Also double check the apn settings. I borked my hidden apn settings once and couldn't get back on the network until i wiped and reflashed full stock.
If none of that works, try also resetting the nv. Look for my thread on 900t service mode for instructions.
Sent from my leanKernel 3.16 powered stock 4.4.2 SM-N900T

I've already rebuilt the nv build. It's a family mobile sim(tmobile)
Also the apn settings I can try that again haven't changed them since I did a flashed back to stock. I doubt it will change anything usually you can still register.
oh the sim doesn't even have service anymore anyhow. Yesterday was the last day but I don't think that would change being able to register anyway.

Notice that it turns off mobile data when I try to register it may be a clue but I haven't been able to make anything of it.

Man, that is some shady looking **** right there. Let me know how it goes haha.

Tried root it failed on me.

My guess is as of right now it only works for the N920AUCU1AOGG firmware, it is the original firmware that came when the phone was introduced. Now everyone is rocking the N920AUCU2AOJ1 firmware that came out some time in between September - December.
If you search for the firmware available in chimera root tool, the one they have is the original one OGG. I guess the only way for this to work is to downgrade then run the utility.

how do I stop the now constant security warnings, and dropping of wifi on reboot?

Getting the same myself.

maybe I'll try the unroot option after my 3 hours runs out? don't see much harm in hacking this thing up anymore...
factory reset via recovery and restoring from smart switch did nothing. other than wipe away my screen and app drawer settings :'p

package Disabler pro is your friend for the security warning thing. just disable security log agent

That works for the message, Thinking about trying to Odin to OGG and try root again when the 3hrs is passed

I was wondering about this tool. Let us know what you guys come up with. I might give it a shot. It's already a plus that it didn't leave you with a brick[emoji106]

if nothing boots up, take it to the local best buy they can re flash the whole os.

It boots into the OS just fine but there is no IMEI and the baseband now says unknown
Whew, Complete ODIN back to the newest firmware fixed it.
