I have network problems, i have the correct imei, serial number and baseband but in the phone status says "network unknown"i don't have an efs backup, and my actual efs folder doesn't have any of the nv files, another thing is that the phone has signal bars even without the sim card, i have done a lot of factory resets, flashes thru odin but nothing works, can anybody help me to solve my issue please? Sorry if my english isn't good since is not my native language...thanks in advance
Wrong modem.
Thanks for your reply but I don't think that is a modem problem because I've flashed all the possible modems and still the same way, another thing is that I entered to the secret menu and did a erase of efs 1 2 3 or something, is there a way to recover or fix that problem? Please help me I am desperate
if you erased your "efs", your phone is toast

So there isn't any way to restore it?
well, I assume you made a back up of everything before you started flashing and installing all sorts of files on your phone...

I flashed the new JB roms with the JI4 modem and couldn't connect to 4G. It would only connect to Edge and my download speed was super slow. Anyways, I wiped everything, reflashed several times with now progress. Now I've flashed it back to ICS LH2 hoping it would solve the problem but still doesn't work.
How do I fix this? Thanks in advance.

I think your IMEI is corrupted. it happens, sometimes, when you flash non-touchwiz roms. You can try using the tool in this thread to recover your IMEI:

if imei was corrupted wouldnt they get no service at all? also op did you try flashing the i7 modem? might help
Something similar happened to me.does it say 4g up to or edge?
I fixed this by using Odin and going back to full stock image that the phone came with. Let me know if you need a copy and I'll send you a link.

Thanks for the replies. You guys were right, it was the imei being lost. Got it resolved and now all is well.
Thanks again.

He restored his imei. Might be your solution as well. Check if ur imei is 0.
Can someone help me get my 4G restored? I lost my imei number ( was set to 0), I was able to use nv_items_reader_writer along with the SGS3 nv gen to inject my correct imei number back into the phone.
I have checked under status and my imei is no longer 0 & displays the correct imei, but still no 4G - only edge.
I then made a full nv backup, then restored that backup, but still nothing.
any other ideas?
Ok, as I just said, you only need to post once. No need for double or triple posting. Its a good way to annoy a lot of folks who would otherwise be happy to help. Just fyi for the future!

Hi guys, i have been using a ROOTED galaxy note 2 for quite some time now. my phone has been running on the jellybean 4.1.1 version, i decided to manually update to jellybean 4.1.2 with odin (through laptop) all went ok and i managed to upgrade properly. The problem i am having is that once i rebooted my phone (after update) i have been getting an error saying to insert my sim card....it will not recognize there is any simcard whatsoever. Also when i put thw sim card in another phone it works fine and i am able to receive texts etc. Can anyone please offer me some help as my phone is a massive part of my job (as i work on a client basis), and do not have the time to send my phone away for 2 weeks. Any insight would be awesome im up for trying anything. Thanks again! Kes

Hi guys i have just factory reset my phone, i did this by turning the phone on holding the up volume + home + power button, the screen had a picture of the green android guy. I clicked the factory reset and the clear cache options (using the up and down volume buttons). My phone has now restarted asif it was brand new out the box, yet the sim card is still not working (and yes i took the sim out for the reset, only put it back in after i did the initial setup). Have i done something wrong?? did i not do a full reset? could someone please help as i havnt had my work phone for a few days now and its getting harder to keep track of my clients. Any suggestions would be amazing, thanks a lot!

The latest rom modifies the efs folder (where your imei is stored) so only some modems can read it. For unknown reason kies or ota updates don't modify the efs, so the new rom can't use the efs info. The solution is to flash back to an older rom other than dme4/dme6. Your sim will be recognized. I advise you to backup your esf folder and to awlays ve a copy of it

EFS folder mod only gives network error but in his case He says showing error "Insert Sim Card"
Anyway it is wise to flash an older rom or the same rom he was before on

When i click on mobile networks (through settings) it says "insert SIM card to access network services". When the sim is in properly. My phone also has a circle with a line through it at the top of the notification bar.

Awesome cheers mate will try this when i get back! would that mean i would not have the newest update? or could i just flash the newest rom after?
Dude first thing is check if your Imei is corrupt. Go to about device/status and if it starts with 0049, this means it's corrupt and without a backup Samsung are the only ones who can fix as they have to replace the motherboard. If it is corrupt you could try moving your efs to SD card and then rebooting and then moving it back.

Hi, apparently some genius developing CWM decided it would be fun to allow the factory partition to be formatted with the newest versions of CWM (I'm on 6.0.4.6). Well guess what, I managed to format it on my GNex (it's quite easy to do actually).
Anyways, I've lost my IMEI data and unable to access mobile network (data connectivity is fine, however, surprisingly). Somebody please help me restore my IMEI because I don't have a nandroid backup either.
Thanks a lot!

Paul how did you manage to mess up your phone? Was it the same way I did? The thing is, all is not lost, I'm absolutely certain of that. It's not a brick until it absolutely and completely refuses to power up...
@osm0sis, can you please help me out here? I know there was even an IMEI changing tool but most probably considered illegal or something by the "powers that be" and hence removed most likely. I just need my original phone IMEI back, that's all. Thanks a lot!

I think I screwed up and flashed my phone with the wrong image (LTE instead of CDMA) that wiped the factory info and all the attempts I have tried do not do anything to get the phone back. I have a nice tablet that just upgraded to 4.3 via WiFi since it isn't on the Verizon network.

i have gone through your cwm thread. it's suggested taking it to a shop and getting it fixed with spt box or something. unfortunately, i can't do that because nobody in my location has anything even remotely similar to one of those. apart from that, i've done everything i could think of, flashed radios, flashed stock samsung rom, flashed google factory images. what else would you suggest?
i don't have a prior nandroid either
Resolved
Problem solved. Took it to repair shop and got it fixed. Everyone that helped or tried to help, thanks a lot! Mods please close thread, thanks!
I was thinking more along the lines of restoring a backup and grabbing what you need to fix Factory from Radio, which was detailed a couple of times.
Glad you got it fixed, nonetheless. :good:

the guy connected it to a couple of external devices which in turn were connected to his pc, i guess one of them was something along the lines of an spt box, the other thing looked like a miniature spaceship, so maybe ET was involved in fixing it as well...
Not CWM's fault, though I definitely understand your sentiment. But "with great power.."
I make damn sure I know what I'm pressing Yes on when I'm wiping.

anyways, I was just browsing through my phone with root explorer and with twrp's file manager and surprisingly there's no efs folder there! is that normal?
i've taken a twrp nandroid backup to include efs as well but i'm thinking to take a raw backup as well as described here. i've also copied the /factory and /data/radio folders.
i was wondering whether flashing a stock samsung ROM might result in the creation of the efs folder? on yakju 4.2.2 stock google image right now...
Nah efs is the partition but it's mounted to /factory :good:

That's great thanks!., I'll clean flash 4.3 yakju in a day or two and see if the IMEI sticks after the wipes. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to backup using EFS Commander or the terminal/shell commands (got error both ways) so I'm hoping the TWRP backup (without MD5) and manual file copy should be sufficient insurance...
Just randomly today, my Galaxy Nexus lost the signal to the network, its IMEI number and the baseband version.
It also keeps switching Airplane mode OFF and ON but there is no symbol for it on top.
The phone is NOT rooted. What should I do?
Thanks.
EDIT: I reset the phone, wiping all the data, and that has not solved the problem.

Well to me it sounds like the /efs partition of your emmc is corrupt.
Either way as far as I know there is no way to restore efs without a prior backup.

Hello everyone,
I was messing around with my phone yesterday, and installed EZKat ROM from this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2747733). The phone couldn't connect to the network, so I flashed the T-mobile modem included in the thread, then the phone started showing 'Unknown' under the Baseband version under the about menu. So I decided to restore the phone back to the way it was through the TWRP backup, however, it still had the same problem (no connection, unknown baseband) and I just discovered that the IMEI is unknown (null) as well. The phone also keeps rebooting every 2 mins or so. I tried restoring the phone through KIES, but it didnt fix anything. Tried restoring it by flashing the original firmware through ODIN, still no luck. I tried following the instructions in this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2145967) however, QPST shows my phone as unavailable, and when I try to go to *#9090# it shows me a blank screen with "service mode" written on top. Is there anything I can do to fix it? I have tried to restore just the EFS by itself from the TWRP recovery, and it didnt work. Is the phone gone for good?
Thanks in advance for any help

@madmajd : If you've flashed the whole T889V firmware through Odin and the problem didn't sort itself out, then your NV items have probably been corrupted.
Have a look at my LTE guide, most everything you need to restore service should be there or linked to. You might be able to fix it with the T889V modem, or you might need to use T-Mobile USA T889 modems going forward, it's hard to tell at this point.
Good luck,
