Sadly, it seems my IMEI has been set to zero.
I can still make calls and text, but my data is on Edge network only.
I've been doing some searching and reading (by some I mean a lot) and I guess I'm getting a little confused in it all.
Would using ODIN to reset my phone to stock fix the IMEI?
I have the IMEI on a sticker on the phone, could TMobile reset the IMEI for me?
Thanks in advance.
Swap it if you have insurance. If not search xda for fix.

Yes Odin will fix the Issue. Please choose correct firmware to flash via Odin.
Thanks for the response.
Trying to confirm I get the RIGHT rom for my device.
Went to sammobile.com/firmwares/
Looking at all the options for SGH-T999, do I have to made basebands to what I have now (T999UVDLJA) which is dated Oct 2012, or is that something that gets "updated" if I apply the latest rom (March 2014)?
Depends on what you had before all these problems. You must choose that same version otherwise you may hard brick the phone.
*sigh*
And I suppose there's no way to know that? I don't have a back up or anything...
Is there anyway to determine?
Thanks for your help and direction thus far!
Oh Sure. There are other ways to determine. If possible post a photo of the download screen. Otherwise type out exactly what you see when the phone is in download mode.

I'm assuming that is the info you were looking for?
Yes that's what I needed. I suggest please use UVDMD5 Version of Root66 to flash via Odin.
Excellent.
So follow directions and get files from here?: http://www.androidayos.com/2013/05/...y-bean-without-binary-flash-counter-increase/
Well. Yes. I'd direct you to the Thread here under Android Development.
Yeap. The link I posted actually takes you back to the link you provided.
Both bookmarked.
I hope to do this tonight.
If I understand this correctly, this should flash my phone back to stock with my valid IMEI
Using this Route66 I will have root on the phone and should then be able to do a CM install if I choose?
Yes and yes.
If that is your desire, then while you are in Odin, flash a custom Recovery such as TWRP or CWM as well.

... I will have to research on how to do that too then.
First concern is getting the IMEI back so that I can actually USE the phone with data -- regardless if it's CM or stock OS.
As the UVDMD5 will have correct modem, hopefully that will restore IMEI. Otherwise we may have to see what happens.
hmmm sort of seems to have worked... stuck at the "SAMSUNG" screen though.
Reading other links says I should have cleared cache before doing?
Hmmm cleared cache.
Did factory reset.
Still stuck at pulsating "SAMSUNG" logo...
Ok got into phone... ugh is stock ROM just painful. Who designs these things?!?!
Sadly, IMEI is still set at 0
this doesn't seem to have worked

ARGGGHHHH Are you serious? Googling now, but this looks much more complicated compares to Odin
Can't TMobile just restore the IMEI if I take it to one of their stores?

Same thing happened to me today. Maybe it wasn't a mistake. Is it your ROM Jellybam 5.2.0 by any chance?
After odin'ing a stock rom, if still no service, another important thing to check is under "about phone" under settings. Check baseband.
Also look in "about phone" under "status". Bring a screen shot. Lots of blank fields is a bad thing...

Indeed, flashing a stock rom through odin did it.
I tried every other solution (ktool, moving files using root explorer and terminal emulator etc.) with no luck.

Its been about 2 weeks now and I am still having this problem. One day while I was a school I felt my phone really hot in my pocket. and it was off. When I truened it back on the battery was only 20% and then I could not find any wifi networks. It used to work for about 30 seconds when I restarted the phone, but now it does not even do that. Any help?! This is pretty bad.

A modem is what controls your phones communication with the internet and voice and data... Pretty important. Go to Settings/About Phone and flash the one that matches the last four characters in your Baseband (like GB27 for example)-http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1764210

Flashing a custom ROM or doing a factory reset won't mess with your cricket flash, although you will have to follow directions in this thread to get back working MMS and 3g (if you flash an AOSP or CM-based ROM... 3g should work out of the box on stock-based).

Before you do anything, though, I would read read and READ some more. Not to sound rude, but you don't wanna dig yourself into a bigger hole just because you don't know what you're doing. And I'd be glad to help if you need it [emoji2]

I have managed to root my device after the 10P firmware! FYI, I used Android Kingo Root.
After looking into many posts, forums, etc... I have come to the conclusion that unlocking the bootloader is going to be trickier than any other device I have been successful with. I want to install CM 10.2 and CWM 6+, however, I cannot find solid information on how to unlock the bootloader for this unit. I would have liked to install the latest 4.4.2 from AT&T, but the device was rooted prior and AT&T will not honor the phone for the upgrade. At this point, I feel it would be easier to just install a custom ROM instead of trying to put the AT&T stock back into the unit.
Most of the info I see seems overly tricky and doubtful. I have downloaded FreeGee, but, in version 1.9.23 there isn't an option for unlock or disable security,(I have emailed the devs for the app). I also have gprorecovery.apk, but, I am deathly afraid to use it as I cannot find ANY material about it anywhere and I am worried to brick the one phone I absolutely love.
If someone has the knowledge, please share. Also, feel free to add in your experience and pitfalls with this device after manipulating the software. I am not 100% sold on CM, so if you want to suggest a great ROM...Feel free.
I appreciate the help and suggestions in advance.
No unlocked bootloader for the gpro. Sorry dude.

And then reboot to recovery as normal to install the ROM? I have read so much information that states you have to do some special presses of the buttons to get recovery to load. What are you running on yours?

Once you install recovery press power + volume up (asuming you powered down or resetted your device of course) until the lg logo appears ( some white letters will appear on the top left corner, release power button when they do). That will take you to the recovery. I'm. Using a cwm/twrp combo. I flash everything i need with cwm, twrp i keep since this phone has a tendency of going into a recovery bootloop and only twrp can get you out of it. Always keep your flashing files on the internal storage, sometimes flashing from sd card wont work.

How can I backup my stock att kk rom?
New to the forums and everything having to do with rooting and what not, but I may have hard or soft bricked my galaxy s6 yesterday. I searched for hours to find someone with my particular problem and found nothing so I was hoping someone could help me on here. I had successfully rooted my phone and tried to flash a custom rom into the device and I guess it failed and now I can't get out of Odin or download mode. I tried to do the recovery thing where you hold the power, home, vol down then up thing without success. What it does is, it'll reboot, show the Galaxy s6 splash screen for a split second and go right back into download mode. It's android 5.1.1 and I tried downgrading and I get a fail each time. Even tried 5.1.1 firmware also with no success. If anyone can help me with this, I would be so thankful for it since I had to buy an iPhone 4s today lol.

I don't have much experience with device yet, as I have only rooted 5.0.2. With so little available and only TW, I have not made the leap. Hopefully, someone will be able to help you out.
If you have upgraded to 5.1.1, there is no going back. I would think you should be able to flash 5.1.1 stock again. How does this fail? Are you using Odin 3.10.6? Use your original USB cable and put the 5.1.1 tar in the same directory as odin.

You have to use Odin 3.10.6 with 5.1.1. It looks like you are using an older version of Odin. Also, make sure you are opening Odin as an administrator.

Probably this is a common issue, and you may want to kill me after opening a new thread for this. I'm so sorry, at the moment I'm very worried because my phone suddenly lost network services and I have no idea how to deal with these things, I'm really bad at flashing and such thing.
Problem is that after a year and half since I bought my Samsung Galaxy Note II GT-N7100, suddenly today this issue appeared.
The device has root access (not performed by me) with Kingo SuperUser/SuperSU. Once I realized it was rooted, I googled and proceeded to perform a factory reset (restarted device with power + volume up + home buttons, which leaded me to android system recovery 3e), which didn't help at all.
If I dial *#06# the IMEI it shows 004999010640000 / 01 but the one I see under the battery slot is (2014) IMEI: 359xxx/05/853xxx/4 (I don't know if this data is relevant, just trying to help).
I found this thread in this forum, which seems to be the same problem I'm facing right now, but I don't have any backup of those files, plus I don't know how to flash this specific phone :crying:
I'll really appreciate any kind of help you can provide me to fix my phone.
Here's a screenshot of the device info (it's in spanish but some names are easily understandable)

I haven't tried anything but a hard reset. I don't know how to flash a phone, and I'm pretty sure I can screw it up if I try xD
I just heard about sammobile.com, but I don't know how to proceed even on that website.
Anyway, I hope there's something I can try before making that kind of "flashing"
If the imei doesn't get restored after flashing the latest stock ROM from Sammobile.com, you would need to try other methods to fix there imei problem.
Common issue... More than you imagine. Happens to me all the time. But I have one solution in my case Wich is just flash the EFS partition in my previous nandroid backup, but since to be you only were rooted and not custom recovery, I guess you don't have a nandroid backup. Only solution here is flash thru Odin and all will be good.
