I recently purchased a T Mobile SGH T989 off of Ebay. The seller said the phone was used but in good working condition. When I got the phone, it looked good and had little wear. I went in to settings and preformed a reset to defaults and put my sim card in to test it. The phone seemed to work fine and I tested it for about a week with the stock T Mobile rom. After a week everything on the phone worked and tested out ok. I reflashed the phone to the latest stable version of Cyanogenmod. After first boot and at the home screen, the phone never connected the T mobile service. I re flashed the Cyanogenmod rom thinking something went wrong the first time but again no service. I ran clockwork recovery to the restored the stock rom and immediately get 4 bars or service. Reflash Cyanogenmod rom again no service..back to stock phone works fine. Puzzled I went back to my old phone and decided to call T Mobile support, I read the IMEI off the back of the SGH T989 to the service rep and they told me this phone was part of a business plan that was overdue and was blocked (aka blacklisted). When I rebooted the phone and looked in system info the IMEI had been altered. I reflashed to Cyanogenmod and the phone has the same altered IMEI number as the stock rom but no service. I guess I am confused why it would work with one rom and not the other. Is there something more the governs network provider access? Is there something else I can do to get it to work?
The Ebay seller never said anything about bad IMEI, so I am going to ask for a refund and send it back if I cant fix it...just a better part of a day wasted messing with it only to go back to a Mytouch 4g.

Do I boot into clockwork and perform a darkside wipe and then install the radio from zip?
If I go back to the stock rom will there be any ill effect?
I don't want to have it not work in CM and also not work on stock

You can boot into CWM and wipe cache, dalvik cache and flash the radio. And you can always go back to the radio you have now. To find out which one you have now look for baseband version in settings/about phone.

So I recently attempted to flash CM10 to my phone and I think it royally screwed everything up. After messing around with JB for a bit (no working data) I decided to flash back to stock and stay there for a bit. Well, once the flashing was done, I attempted to activate my phone, and it kept failing. Tried re-flashing just to be safe, and it failed again.
I then tried restoring from a nandroid I had, hoping it would restore service like it normally does. But it didn't. It showed my phone as unactivated. I was still unable to activate my phone. D:
I looked in About Phone > Status and my MDN and MIN were screwed up. My phone number displayed as "000-000-5472" and the MIN was all 0's. Any help or ideas would be much appreciated.

Good Luck
U need to flash the baseband to stock baseband as well as the firmware, and re activate your phone
Happen to me when i flash new baseband and kernel to my R800x
Can't activate since the prl was not loaded properly and i can't get through activation process (ics glitch)
End up flashing to stock, re-inject and activate. Then restore the new ROM via nandroid. This way the phone stay in activated state.

When you flash a baseband before installing a rom, activate your phone on the stock firmware first, then install the rom. Same happened to me but I couldn't see the numberpad.

I had a buddy at work who flashed CleanROM to his phone today at work, he had stopped by my desk and asked me why the phone wouldn't detect his service. I looked and the phone was showing that their was no radio/service. I used Clockwork to flash the ROM again using factory wipe as well as clearing the cache and still had the same issue. Is their a way that I can just install the default radio driver to the phone? I had him try to flash the STOCK ATT ROM for the note 2 back to his phone and still no luck. Gives a message saying that it cant detect the sim? or something to that extent. Any help would be great, thanks ahead of time.
Edit: I also wanted to add that the SIM was working fine before the phone was flashed with CLEAN ROM. There after it no longer worked.

Dunno about your predicament really but in the cleanRom 1st post there is a link to Scotts website where there is a newer modem from the newest ATT OTA update you could try to flash and see if that helps at all.Also I don't know if you tried to take out the sim and put it back in(while the phone is off of course). You would be suprized how many times that has solved radio issues before because sometimes a phone gets bumped just right.In this phone the sim card slot is spring loaded like the micro sd slots.Just a couple ideas for ya.
I can not get any radio to work to make or receive calls! I flashed everyone out there and still can not make or receive calls. What method can I use do to get it to work? I flashed radio from TWRP with Factory reset, delvik and cache and then flash with no wipe and I just cant get that or any radio to work. I just get AT&T when I do a scan, which I use T-Mobile. When I choose search in settings in mobile networks, still nothing. When I try to use phone, it always says no network avail. and yes I have data box checked off. It just seams lately any Rom I flash after the newest stock, (JB) I have radio issues, can not make or receive calls. I even erased, wiped everything and started from scratch with stock. Phones works fine, but when I try any ROM, no calls, no matter what radio I flash. I must be doing something wrong. I must say, that I flashed many a Roms before and all worked well until now! I even download same radios in case I got a bad download. I can use kernels, such as Tiberius with Stock JB. I Flash a Rom and no radio, no matter what Rom. My version in stock is UVMC6, SGH T-989 phone. (T-Mobile). I know all phones are different and thought maybe something in stock files I might be able to use, but don't know which files. I am not a dev by any means and thought if I could use the stock I have now can work with the any Rom here. I never dirty flash anything, all Roms work that I flash from sd card, just not able to use phone in any Rom at all! I thought maybe I can manually put in APN, but I have no idea were to get address to enter. I am from Delaware if that matters as far as APN. Can anyone give any suggestions of what they did to get radio to work?

Verify your APN settings are correct. If there isn't a t mobile APN set up than try creating one. Also go to Settings > About Phone > Status and make sure your phone has a valid IMEI number (anything other than 0)

Thanks, yeah after all reading and troubleshooting it seems APN is where I have to create and/or edit! I found APN settings on Google and wrote down the settings that is on stock Rom where phone is working and will try it. Thanks for heading me in the right direction.

Still no radio, will try your way, thanks!
I've had this Samsung S3 for almost a year now, and in the pass week, my radio has been acting funny, It dropped the IMEI, and pretty must lost all connections with my 3G network, So I ended up wipe the phone and setting it back to the default S3 ROM, after being on cyanogen mod ROM for a few months. After a bit of fiddling, I ended up finally getting my IMEI number back, and it worked fine.... till I connected to Wifi. After I connect to the Wifi, my radio stops working period. Any ideas on what could be wrong?
I'm running a Samsung SGH-1747M, which is an AT&T version, although my carrier is rogers in Canada.

Ummm... do you mean CM10.2 Alpha1? Because otherwise you're sooooo far back on CM revs it's not worth it (latest stable is 10.1.2).
Either way, make sure you're at UVMC6 baseband/radio -- non-JB radios don't work on CM10+ (JB) -- and you get what your phone is experiencing; no cellular network service (WiFi should be OK).

That's bizarre... you're not even rooted anymore, I take it? Did you do a full factory wipe after going to stock ROM (it's probably redundant, but what the hell)?
There's one other possibility -- it happened on my BlackBerry a few years ago and I got a strange error (dunno if Android gives that sort of error or where) -- basically, I had a bad SIM that still worked (it just couldn't connect, but the phone saw it as a normal SIM). I replaced it, called T-Mo and gave them the new SIM number (you can do it online nowadays) and was back up and running in minutes.
Of course, try pulling out the battery, SIM, and SD card, then put everything back in and power on...
