Dial *#06# and check what msg pops up?
If it is null than its because of downgrading or wrong update
If its 00something than its a corrupt imei

You probably upgraded to a new firmware type of rom, then went back. This can cause the EFS(Root folder for some phone information) to be corrupted. Did you make backup(Which are most likely to be suggested in any rom thread found here)? That could solve your problem quick.

[Q] Need help with GNote2 SGH-T889. NULL IMEI / No Service

To start off with, I'm a complete beginner on rooting/flashing and I didn't even cause the problem in the first place, but I may have a better understanding. So a friend was trying to downgrade his phone to 4.1.1 so it could be unlocked through the service menu. I'm not completely sure what files were used but it did downgrade to 4.1.1 but it now says no service and the IMEI says NULL. Please help!!
Also, it's not the "not registered to network" error I have seen mostly while i was trying to search.
Thank you

First of all you post help in the wrong section.
It's against the law to change the IMEI so this fourm will not be able help you.

Well then, from what I know I the easiest way is through efs backup. I really hope you have made a full Rom backup if not I remember there was another method but it wasn't going to be easy. Hopefully someone here can guild you in that direction.
no I don't have a backup of the rom. I thought that the engineering mode menu can help. I saw a video tutorial online about it. And if u still have a better option pls guide me through

I never face this issue myself but did you set Access Point Names in Settings?
Check IMEI and hopefully you have a backup of it.

Is your IMEI at the back of your phone the same as you see in the phone info?
If you have conflicting IMEI numbers, you may have a grey market phone..i.e. a network locked phone that was unlocked using an hacked ROM or other method

The problem is that it has been unlocked in a dogy way.
I never heard of the z3x box.
I have to go check it out and will be back later.
Looks like an interesting box.
But very dangerous if you don't know how to use it.
I see that z3x has a repair function for restore damaged imei to original only.

Good luck.
