In order to prevent imei loss back up the efs partition. you can google how to do that.
I'd just flash the appropriate modem, or try the rom with the one you're using.

Some people have reported that even after restoring efs partition and re flashing their modem , their imei number still remained 000000. I don't know what wrong they have done, but will it re store the imei number and signal?

If you backup the efs partition, you should be able to restore imei and everything else.
I've never heard of any case where this didn't work.

Hey everybody, my supervisor was installing a custom ROM (IIRC cyanogenmod) when something happend and he lost his IMEI and IMEI SV number making the phone unsuable.
I believe he didn't backup the EFS folder and lost the contents which included the IMEI.
Is there any way I can fix this phone and get it back up and running?
I've found another thread which refered to re-programming the IMEI with some expensive device.

U could JTAG it, or try hemidell, u might be able to rewrite a new imei number, if not idk, how did he lose that? Flashing a ROM shouldn't have erased his imei ?

Thanks guys for the response.
What he flashed to/what he did etc...I have no idea. I have the phone with me and I'm trying to start fresh and get it to work. I have no idea what he did so I'm just trying to start at the begining and learn myself to see if I can correct the problem.
All I know is that when I check the IMEI on the phone info, it says 0 and IMEI SV says 0 also
so there is successfully a ROM installed right now correct ? go into about phone and check what it is running and what kernel what baseband the whole nine bro gimme something else to work with other than being blind trying to help bro lol . are you familiar with any rooting or odin flashing at all ?

It currently has a ROM installed, the phone functions but has no IMEI at all listed in the ABOUT PHONE section. I will get that info later today after work, thank you very much!
I myself have a Galaxy Nexus which I flashed from ICS to Jelly bean and used the ICS radio file rather then the JB one. I can follow instructions but I am new to android. I'm a Blackberry guy from the past and work with blackberries in a corporate enviroment
lol i know it has a ROM installed but when you go into about phone it tells you what your running ?? and no problem man
Honestly, the only way I could think of where he lost the IMEI of the device is if a nandroid backup was created lacking the EFS partition and was restored or the ROM didn't create an EFS while flashing. I've heard of some ROMs, mere flashing of updates or a clean install, mess with the radio/baseband and leave the phone without one, rendering it unusable when it comes to connecting to a cellular network until you flash a radio but not something like this where the IMEI is borked and lost.

i don't have backup of EFS
i am running custom rom and works fine i get my real IMEI but when i install n7100 stock rom with kies or odin i get 0049 fake IMEI and i can't use my phone for calling and all
i want to go back to stock so bed but i cant trying everyday LOL
help if you know how to do it...
Only way to go back is to have previously backed up your efs partition, while you were on your stock rom. Then once you downgrade to older version modem/rom simply restore your efs.

Indeed flashing older modem (and so ROM) causing this.
I replied on other thread(my prerooted)
Flashing latest ME6/MF2/MG1 should solve this.
OR simply you can flash modem, you can find modem on my All in one thread(look my signature) post #6
And don't flash 4.1.1 , it can brick device.

Please stop creating duplicate threads for the same issue. In any case, changing your IMEI is a banned topic on XDA as its illegal in most countries,
You should have taken a backup of your efs partition before you started messing around (this is in all the guides). If you didn't then that's your fault and your loss.

check if your IMEI no is correct. if it begins with 00 it means efs has changed. u need to restore it from ur backup. guides how to do it are available in the forum.

Big mistake not having a backup when you are flashing. For help just search this forum for invalid IMEI note 2

If you use the search feature and tap in "lost imei" all your questions will have answers. It looks like you have an n7100. And by the look of things you were on mc3 4.1.2 and flashed an older rom of 4.1.1 I dont think you can do that..
GT N7105 with XDA Premium......that is all......

for that u will need to flash stock rom via odin. do not panic. this thing has become very common now. search in android development section of note 2.guides are available todouble bled it ok. just do not panic.read the guides carefully and double check what u r doing.
I had a problem like this except it happened when I flashed a rom. The rom corrupted my SD Card so I lost my backup and even after flashing stock it did not work. Eventually I sent it in to Samsung. Now I have learnt my lesson to keep a backup on multiple locations

Go to a alternate servisse centre and ask to change your IMEI with a Box! only way to solve the problem! tried all that is possible and this is the only solution! it´s not about crime we are talking here! it´s about solve a problem!

It is because of downgrade of your rom.
Some time downgrade results in conflict modem and efs data corruptions.
It recommend to immediate take a backup of efs files after root.
Now do fiollowing steps
1. flash DMC3 full rom( Not only modem).
2. Wipe data and cache.
3. Wipe dalvike cache.
4. Reboot device.
It may solve your problem.

DMC3 also older rom for countries mentioned above.
Flash mg1 or simply look N7100 all in one on my signature, look post #6 and download modem for mg1 (it will have kernel, recovery and modem) you need modem only for network issue but I recommend to flash all three as your current rom I think not sds patched.

flashed the wrong modem and now i can't boot up. It just keep getting in the ''Downloading... Do not turn off target !!'' do i need to flash stock rom to fix this?
I think you may need to. Make sure you flash dmc3 or older otherwise you will lose choice on modems/ tw roms

Just flash the respective modem file you were using alongwith DN3 rom.

Check whether you ESN is correct. If it is corrupted you might have to do a EFS restore from a back up. I hope you have a EFS back up?
All steps can be found in this thread:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2536418
In short you just have to download modem file from the link given in the above thread and flash it via odin in the PDA tab.
Gud luck.

You can check the ESN by dialing *#06# and compare it with your original ESN which should be in your original box or with the documentation.
