Hi, I'm new here and a novice flasher. I recently flashed HellKat 4.4.2 rom on my SGH-T989. Everything runs OK except for a few bugs.
I just noticed that whenever I tap "about phone" in system settings, there is no IMEI number. Gone. Does anyone know why? Is there a way that I can recover my IMEI number?
Thanks XDA
I don't have one either. Mine is a T Mobile and it doesn't seem to bother Telus. I had Hellybean when I noticed and flashed the stock ROM/radio but it never came back.

Probably just not reading it. Try typing *#06# in dialer - see if it shows

OK. It does show up on the dialer. So I guess it's not completely "gone", just doesn't appear on the "about" section. (I also flashed a jellybean radio before flashing rom. Don't know if that has anything to do with it)

Hi,
Please I also have similar problem with my phone. When I dial *#06# it shows "null/null". As a result, I am unable to get mobile network.

If restoring stock doesn't fix it... And you didn't back up the EFS partition, there's nothing you can do.
A service place can maybe restore it.

So, whenever I restart my phone, I have to re-import my settings file for Enhanced Email. Anyone else have this happen to them?

It would be great if they update soon. It's been a while, and I really prefer EE over stock email.

im switching back to straight talk and found someone willing to trade their at&t note ll for my sprint note ll. i'm having a slight problem. i cant delete all my data and personal info off the phone. it still shows my phone number and name to the phone. i've done a complete factory reset. i dont get it. how can i completely delete everything off the phone? will rooting do this for me? how can i completely erase everything off the phone except the os?
your phone number and name are shown because the phone is still activated under your account... it's like a sim card until you deactivate it it will do that

Get your MSL and use ##786#. That will reset back to factory.

The imei was broken, then I repaired it. Still no data, then I tried to use an application called SGS3datarestorer, didnt work. Checked my apn, didnt work. Unrooted it, still didn't work. What did I miss? Help me out

There is something in a hidden menu I believe. Read the thread and search it for more info, you're not alone in the issue, been discussed many times.

if you have fixed the issue please share..also how do i check to see if the imei is broken
Look in Settings, About Device, Status.
Under IMEI it should show a string of numbers. If not, its gone.

There's three steps to getting the issue resolved. Did you follow all the three steps?

Title says it all. Imei is unknown in settings, and when I type in the dialer code I get --/05 (-- meaning blank). All phone functions work fine though which is weird. I know now because I tried to get a replacement through T-Mobile and they said the imei had no recent activity on the account. Any ideas on how to get it back?

If you have a nandroid backup, you can restore your /efs folder.

Unfortunately the phone was like this when I got it. My efs folder is missing .nv_data.bin.

I'm running Beanstalk ROM, latest build, I believe it's 4.4.4.050 with BMS kernel, and lost data connection after clean install of this Rom on T-Mobile SG3 (dtle). I've searched and performed everything I could find concerning restoring data connection, but none of them seems to work. Anyone else having this particular issue?

Try replacing your apns-conf.xml with this one. Don't know if it'll work on that rom, but I don't see why it wouldn't. Rename old one in case you need to revert.

Replaced the apn-conf with the one you sent, restarted to see if it would take effect, still no data...

Pretty sure I saw someone else with the same issue on the same rom. Can't remember if it was in tmobiles or att forums though. But it may be a rom issue so I'd watch the thread and maybe someone will find a solution.

I believe Beanstalk uses Cyanogenmod code, and their latest build had a broken radio.. No data, no phone signal..
I am using Carbon at the moment at their 9-07 build had a broken radio, no data no phone..
Try reverting to an older version, that should clear your problem
Yeah I reverted to an older version and got data connection back... Thanks... It was boggling the heck out of me... Lol
