Greetings Folks,
Yesterday, I was trying to install the Resurrection Remix Kitkat ROM on my GT-i9082, and it got installed fine, but I wasn't getting any network, no network bars. So I tried that SIM in another phone, and it works fine. That thread said that this might happen, and I may need to flash another modem, which I did, but still nogo. Here is the loist of 3 different modems which I tried:-
I9082XXUBML1 (INU)
I9082XXUBMK3 (INU)
I9082XXUBMJ3 (INU)
I had taken a ROM backup through ROM Manager before flashing the new ROM, so I tried to restore that backup. Restore completed, and I could now see some network bars, but I still couldn't make calls/sms. I noticed that my IMEI number was coming up all garbled, which is probably why I can see signal bars, but can't make any calls/sms. I tried a different SIM in this phone too, and same issue. I have 2 old ROM backups taken from ROM Manager when the phone was working fine, but no separate EFS backups taken, as I wasn't even aware what EFS was until now. I know what the IMEI number is for both the SIM slots. Is there any way I can fix this?
EDIT:- The funny part is, in the status bar, I can see an "Insert SIM" icon, as well as full Network bars, even though there is no SIM inserted in either slots. Sounds fishy?

If it was working before, I dont think it is hardware related. Download and flash a new modem. Or download your stock rom with your contry specified modem. while flashing custom rom, dont update modem.
That shall do it

happened to me as well after a nandroid restore.
Just reflash the modem. I also had a EFS backup and restored that also. Worked like a charm.
If that doesn't work, then ODIN a stock ROM - it should definitely do the trick. Be mindful though that it will erase your internal SD card unless you go for the modded ones.

Hmmm - tough one.

Hope you get it fixed soon

happend to me on a 4.2 aosp rom... after flashing rom, my mobile internet doesnt seem to perform as expected... so i flashed my fave modem at that time which is dddlk6... then i get no signal but i have internet, i didnt notice at first until the next morning when the internet started acting up again... i restored to my previously used stable rom and the problem is gone...
Hey Guys,
I have an AT&T Model SGH-1317 Note 2. For use on other networks, I unlocked the phone using the *#197328640# menu option. However, the phone failed to start the hot spot stating Mobile data was unavailable or Invalid Sim. However, I am able to tether perfectly using the same sim on an another S3 so I was sure its nothing to do with the sim or network operator settings.
I looked up and found XDA website with tons of information. I assumed my phone was locked by AT&T. Hence, I rooted the phone using CF-Auto-Root, backed up complete data using Titanium and using Rom Manager I installed the Crash Aroma 4.1.2 Rom. I wiped the data and cache 3 times as suggested. However, after the boot I am unable to connect to any mobile network. A Click on Mobile Network says "Insert Sim Card to Access Network Services". Dialling for IMEI number prompt a Null.
During Installation I noticed the Crash ROM has overwritten the Radio.. and I am assuming this is were the problem lies. but I leave it you experts.. Request Help!
Sunil.
What carrier are you using the device on?

Am currently on Du - A network in Dubai, UAE. I have been reading more forum information and some suggest that this may be related to the EFS folder getting corrupted which may cause the IMEI number to fail. Some suggest that there are software to rebuild this information by using the IMEI number behind the handset..
I also noted that my phone model has also changed to GT-7100 instead of SGH-1317, Wonder if the Crash ROM was apt?
Would you suggest installing a Jedi Rom specifically built for SGH-1317... or is the damage already done?
Back Online
Since I found no replies.. I had no choice but to give it to the Pros.. I handed my phone day to one of the Unlocking experts at a mobile store… He was confident that his technicians would resolve this. But after 2 Days, they have given up.. He suggested the phone would fetch me US$ 10 if someone used it as a demo unit at a mobile shop..
I was sure this was something to do with the Modem, IMEI and the all important NV folder. I was able to find a Stock ROM for the SGH-1317 and I also found a link at XDA about using EFS pro to change the IMEI.
Using Odin software, I flashed the phone with the stock rom. Unfortunately, there was one error when it tried to communicated on com1. Having no choice, I continued. Restarting got the AT&T style boot but it again froze on the Samsung screen. Dreading the communication error, I restarted several times with no results. Finally I realised if would be due to the cache and user data. I reset the phone to factor settings wiping out the user data and Whola.. The phone sprang back up..
Lessons learnt.. Backup your rom and data before playing with custom roms. Read Read Read and don’t flash in the middle of the night..
Since I am back online, I plan to stick to the stock and crappy 4.1.1 with all the AT&T dead weight. Will live without the ability to Tether until my fingers get warmer.. It won’t be long as I am already bit by the Custom Rom Devil..
Don't Give Up Easy..:good::victory:

Please I am having the very exact same issue and can't seem to have it fixed
Using CMW I also flashed it back to stock rom, didnt have any problem or errors doing it but im still getting No SIM Inserted. I have deleted cache and user data several times... Tried flashing CM10 and CrashRom see if they made a difference and still No Sim Inserted... tried 3 different kernels and still same issue
I have the exact same problem since yesterday. I've tried everything and anything to no avail. I'm very close to returning the phone.
I would really appreciate any input.
Same issue
I flashed crash rom 4.5, over the stock kernel and it gave me that same message. I've tried everything I could think of, which included everything in this thread to no avail... any further advice would be greatly appreciated.

Your username suggests that you have the N7100 device ??
If so. ..you are in the wrong place for support. ..As this is the SGH-I317 section.
If you are showing IMEI NULL with no baseband you may have to restore your backup image to correct the problem. .
If no backup image exists. ..you will need to flash a factory N7100 image from your section.
Look for the return to stock thread for your specific device and that should fix you up...
The CF AUTO ROOT files are device specific. ..so I hope you haven't damaged the partitions.
Good luck. ..g
Edit:
This will help. ..and will place you in the right section. ..
Just go to page 1...good

I lost my IMEI and baseband version when i tried loading the literom onto my phone. I tried restoring/repairing through the EFS Professional application but had no luck. I then tried flashing dman's rooted (UCLJ3) rom. The install went fine and when i booted there was No IMEI again. I tried pulling the battery and restarted again and voila it was all there all of a sudden . I have no idea how that happened but am really glad that i am able to use the phone.
See this link for the rom I flashed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1994902
Oh and I've the At&t version and not the Rogers one.

So you didn't delete your /efs. It wouldn't magically appear again, deleted is deleted.
However, I had a similar case yesterday. I first run my phone and it told me to shutdown and insert SIM card. I inserted a SIM card without shutting down. After some time I realized I can't call. "About Phone" said IMEI is unknown. Restarting the phone didn't change it. But shutting down and removing the battery did. This is just my guess that this inserting a SIM card on-line was the cause of the problem. @tanmayk, maybe you did the same?

I know it can't magically reappear. And I am not entirely sure if the /efs folder was corrupted or the folder was deleted!!
I had tried flashing the liteRom when i got null/unknown(got both) IMEI errors. I tried flashing every other possible rom to get it back but it didn't help.
Even now when i try to flash the PAC-man nightlies I end up with Null IMEI and the only way I am able to get it back is going to Dman's rooted stock UCLJ3 rom.
If only I could get PAC-man nightlies running on the phone....

But did you do a clean install ? Or did you just freaked out and started flashing one ROM over the other without wiping anything ?

Wiped and did a clean install..tried dirty installs..but NOTHING has worked ! Just tried the most recent PAC build and i again have no IMEI :crying: :crying:
You won't have IMEI again without the files. Reflash stock rom, go to SSC and tell them you can't make calls.

*#06# just says IMEI - no number etc
Im also having same issue.. Is it due to TWRP..? updated TWRP to 3.0.2 n flashed RR rom 5.7.2 over 5.7.0. Then No sim.. tried to flash back 5.7.0 no hlp, tried eclise v2 after full swipe.. No help so far.. Pls guide, many ppl getting into this prob i think..
Flash back to a stock rom to see if the imei returns. If it does, make sure to backup the efs folder before flashing anything else.
If the imei does not return after flashing a stock rom, you'll have to recreate the efs folder and inject the folder back to the phone.
The lack of an imei could explain the SIM card issue. You may not be able to connect to wifi either.

mine too, after i install cm 12.1.1 when i start the phone there's no sim detected. i really need somebody to fix this problem.
With a sim card error, the first thing I would check is the imei and whether the phone is running the latest bootloader and modem.
