I lost my IMEI and baseband version when i tried loading the literom onto my phone. I tried restoring/repairing through the EFS Professional application but had no luck. I then tried flashing dman's rooted (UCLJ3) rom. The install went fine and when i booted there was No IMEI again. I tried pulling the battery and restarted again and voila it was all there all of a sudden . I have no idea how that happened but am really glad that i am able to use the phone.
See this link for the rom I flashed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1994902
Oh and I've the At&t version and not the Rogers one.

So you didn't delete your /efs. It wouldn't magically appear again, deleted is deleted.
However, I had a similar case yesterday. I first run my phone and it told me to shutdown and insert SIM card. I inserted a SIM card without shutting down. After some time I realized I can't call. "About Phone" said IMEI is unknown. Restarting the phone didn't change it. But shutting down and removing the battery did. This is just my guess that this inserting a SIM card on-line was the cause of the problem. @tanmayk, maybe you did the same?

I know it can't magically reappear. And I am not entirely sure if the /efs folder was corrupted or the folder was deleted!!
I had tried flashing the liteRom when i got null/unknown(got both) IMEI errors. I tried flashing every other possible rom to get it back but it didn't help.
Even now when i try to flash the PAC-man nightlies I end up with Null IMEI and the only way I am able to get it back is going to Dman's rooted stock UCLJ3 rom.
If only I could get PAC-man nightlies running on the phone....

But did you do a clean install ? Or did you just freaked out and started flashing one ROM over the other without wiping anything ?

Wiped and did a clean install..tried dirty installs..but NOTHING has worked ! Just tried the most recent PAC build and i again have no IMEI :crying: :crying:

You won't have IMEI again without the files. Reflash stock rom, go to SSC and tell them you can't make calls.

Lost Data completely after Rooting/Flashing

I rooted and flashed my phone and everything worked great but my data package stopped working Completly. I restored the phone back to stock ROM using Odin but still no data (wifi still works). I checked my IMEI number and it appears fine.
The instructions i followed to root the phone was the one where you do not tripp the flash counter, and I backed up IMEI using the NV reader, and the ROM i installed was the Sonic Rom. The only thing I think I could have done wrong is when I went to use the NV reader I accidentally started backing up the entire array of numbers and I canceled the operation midway through. I then just backed up just the IMEI and installed the ROM.
Is it possible I corrupted something when I hit cancel? And please does anyone know how I can get my data working? I was on the phone with tmobile for over an hour today and they were zero help.
thanks.

Exact same thing happened to me..I used PeopleArmy's method and tried re-injecting the correct IMEI back into the phone for a couple hours, then suddenly, my data started working again out of nowhere. Really weird, but it fixed my issue..good luck to you!

Thanks for the reply. did you use PeopleArmy method to recover a lost IMEI number? My issue is a little different. I still have IMEI numbers but I have no data signal working on the phone at all.
I did not get many many replies, maybe my original post was hard to understand...
My H+ and 3G indicator lights blink as if they are working but my phone is completly unable to use any data services. WiFi works, Cellular Voice works but no data.
When I first got the phone everything worked great but after I rooted and flashed it started showing a screen on my browser indicating that my data plan was not compatible with my handset. Tmobile could not help,since I have the correct data plan, my previous phone is the awesome HD2. Please let me know what I can do to fix the phone.

It would help to get more info on what you flashed and how you flashed it. Perhaps it's one of those wipe things or what not? Or restoring an app?
I get 'baseband unknown' on a few ROMs that I test flashed. I got it on JMT when I flashed it recently.
So you have to restore from the NAND backup just to get the phone working?

[Q] Factory test and minor problem... any ideas???

Hi,
I'm sorry if i'm at the wrong place, but i'm kinda stuck...
This is my probleme : I got a SGH-t889V (with the candadian Carrier Videotron), yesterday was my first try to root and install a custom ROM (my mistake!)
I installed a ROM uncompatible with my device...the omega 6.1 (compatible with N7100 but bot with my device i think...), well what happened after that is that i lost my network, no cellular signal...no imei anymore...nothing, just stuck with a big mp3 player
I finally was able to got my network back...by flashing the modem and read a lots of post on this forum, i made a restore from my nandroid backup, but now, when i boot my cellphone, i Got the message "Factory test stop"...
I tried everything, flashed many times...format everything possible! but still...
I even tried a FULL format factory reset with the commande *XXXX*XXXX# and the message is still there...
I read that there is a command i can put in /efs/factoryapp/factorymode but it's not working... i still got the message.
It's not very a big problem in fact, cuz i got the network working but there are many things who don't like my alarm clock, the lock screen, the power button initially give me access to a menu to reboot, silence or shutdown, now it only shutdown the phone.
So anyone have an idea?
Thanks in advance
Alex
Did you try ODIN to stock firmware....there is a package for SGH-T889V

restoring efs with nvtools/qpst

hi guys, i flashed the lte modem on my phone and it seems that its wiped out my efs folders, ive been trying to restore my efs folder with nvtools and qpst, neither seems to work since somehow dm mode is not responding to them
any solns? ty in advance for any help
a couple of things:
ive already odin'd back to stock, no luck on restoring efs(perhaps im doing something wrong?) i dialed *#7284# and put it into the RNDIS+DM+MODEM mode, nvtools says phone failed to answer while QPST says that comm7(the samsung serial port) is not a phone
its pretty had to do this since the phone is rebooting itself every other minute
Questions and help issues go in Q&A
Thread moved
Thanks

Been there, sucks. For me to get out of the constant restarts I had to flash the lte modem again. Flash stock (odin) flashed cwm (odin), put the modem on my external sd card and flashed that.At least that way I could work on it a little. And below is basically what I did to finally get it to work. Hard to say all my steps as I was trying everything.
Well I dont really know how I got mine back to life, tried all the standard stuff from the threads,got my imei back but had no network,network type,service nothing helped. last resort I said whatever ill try anything now. Came across this
http://galaxynote2root.com/galaxy-n...3g4g-aws-bands-on-att-galaxy-note-2-sgh-i317/
whatever it did it restored everything (cold see carrier,network,etc)but corrupted imei, next i followed this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1804117
If you need this is a complete no imei nv backup I used before flashing my imei with the generator
http://db.tt/4hunZ7qy
used the imei generator, then the writer (link on post does not work for the imei generator,so found it here
http://d-h.st/vVV
Wrote my imei back and presto, back in action. Fully functional again, including 4G
Like I said this was a last resort, but worked

got it fixed on friday, was so tired that i went to sleep
basically i followed someone's post on the forum(forgot name) and flashed the tmo modem, since the mct one always gave me the bootloop, then i enabled DM mode and finally got nv tools/qpst to recognize my phone, it appears that the issue was that the drivers does not recognize the new modems..
anyway, once i was done restoring nv, i flashed the tmo lte modem and paranoid android
now i have my imei back and i can use lte
although my bluetooth address still says unknown..not sure if normal
My bluetooth also says unavailable, I would think if you are not hooked up to bluetooth then it should say unavailable. Im to scared to flash the tmo lte modem again...

No mobile service available

Good morning, from yesterday evening I suffer this annoying problem on my HTC 10. After tried to install Xposed Framework, on the next reboot I have no mobile service. It appears, in the upper left corner, "no service available". If I try to remove the sim card, it says that there isn't any sim card. I've tried the RUU but nothing, tried to flash some custom roms but nothing. It seems like something being corrupted in EFS, the IMEI it's ok and not null. Any suggestion to solve?

Did the RUU format the phone? I would try a format of data with twrp then install RUU. If that doesnt work could be a simcard fault. Try another sim.

I've tried with format data before flashing RUU, yesterday late night, but nothing, still no signal. I have tried the simcard in an old Samsung Galaxy ACE and it works flawlessly.
Can you use data? If you can I would get your IMEI checked to see the status of it.
Do not post it online here has it is personal information.

I cannot use data. Can I send you a private message to check my IMEI?
I have seen it be a bad IMEI if you can use data but not get any phone signal. That does not sound like the issue here.

If I send you my IMEI could you check if it's bad or not and if my issue it's IMEI related?
No it is best not to share with anybody. Just google search check IMEI and it will bring up a number of sites. One other thing is, if your s-off you could try flashing firmware to see if that helps.
I had this problem. Try flashing a stock RUU for your specific device. Shut down immediately following the flash, don't boot into ROM yet. Boot into STOCK recovery by holding volume down and power to get into download mode, then select bootloader, then recovery. Once in stock recovery do a factory reset from there. Then reboot the stock ROM and let it do it's thing, optimizing apps, etc. That should fix your problem.
