I see that there is a growing number of people losing their IMEIs and their 4G data service from T-Mobile, as I had the same problem after trying to flash CWM Touch through ROM Manager. After flashing the recovery, I turned of the phone and turned it back on only to receive EDGE speeds. After further research I also realized that my phone has a IMEI of 0. Even after restoring my IMEI through GEEK's method, my data speeds are still EDGE even after flashing complete stock rom through ODIN, data speeds are still EDGE. Just want to know if anyone else had the same issue, after flashing CLOCKWORK Recovery or Clockwork Touch Recovery through ROM Manager.
UPDATE: Would like to know if anyone flash Clockwork TOUCH Recovery through ROM Manager and not the regular clockwork, as I remember when I flashed the regular clockwork first, everything was fine until I paid the 2 bucks and got TOUCH Recovery, is when my IMEI and 4G were lost.
I originally had CWM touch 5.5.0.4 by using the DD method through terminal emulator in order to preserve my binary counter, but then I flashed the standard clock work recovery through ROM manager and then CWM Touch which caused my IMEI and 4G to go bye bye.
I flashed cwm through Rom Manager last week and everything seems to be working fine.

Me too. Touch version. Everything is fine. IMEI I believe is lost by using wrong root method.

I would like to know this as well. I rooted using the Sprint way and have not flashed one single thing because of the imei issues.
I used that method(sprint) and still have my imei. I've flashed FreeGS3 a bunch of times and a couple of themes without iussue so far.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
I used the Sprint method, and pretty much immediately flashed CapRom then redrum's FreeGS3 and Lean build, along with the Adama003 kernel. Then even flashed CM9 and AOKP. All of this was through the Sprint CWM. I finally got ancy and pushed TWRP through terminal emulator(since nobody had issues with losing IMEI with that recovery), so I would feel safe flashing JB AOKP.
I would suggest backing up your IMEI so you don't have to worry about it anymore, push a different recovery, and then go flash crazy! Here is the link to backup/restore: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29514187.
Happy flashing! I'm really digging the new Wicked blue ROM!

I used the sprint cwm & odin...via some video found in this forum that said it won't trip the counter. Lost imei & only edge. The vid did say that it would work for tmo & I read other users posts after they had done it. I didn't do anything else after that, I only wanted it rooted. Not sure what I did wrong and I really want to know.
Curious...what do they do with the phones that are returned by a customer?
You guys can back up your imei now. Its in the development section. There's even a video walkthrough.
I've flashed, backed up, and restored through different ROMs including CM9, CM10, TW roms, and EuroSkank builds...IMEI is still intact.
Used Odin to Flash recovery then used ROM Manager Premium to update to latest CWM.

i used odin to flash CWM but then i try to flash CWM through rom manager and it freezes??
any help guys?
Thanks
This thread needs to be renamed as there is no proof at all to what the op said, they lost their IMEI and want some one to blame sadly they try to blame the peeps behind rom manager and cwm touch, the same people who put tons of energy and free time to make every phone better for us.
Please op change the title or mods change it, it is not fair to the devs who work hard to have one person who has 1 post to blame them
This post is a little bit misleading. I'm sure that Kush over at Rom Manager would not appreciate a post that scares people away from using his application. This may have happened to a few people, but to state that you will lose your IMEI when you flash Rom Manager is just not true. I may be wrong, but losing your IMEI probably has a lot to do with not taking the proper steps to correctly flash a ROM.
Omg guyz iz flashed a I9300 ROM and it screwed my phone! But it was probably the CWM! Stay away from CWM guyz!

So I have previously rooted my phone. I flashed it back to stock using the stock firmware. Updated my phone to the official ICS release. Now after i upgraded the phone would not recognize my sim and it would only display the notification bar. There is nothing where my background and apps used to be. I tried samsung support and they suck balls. I also tried the leaked rom and the same thing happens.
Did you try to call ATT?
Getting this exact same issue, and I updated from stock. Never rooted or modified the device at all.
The same thing happened to me, I updated from stock. ATT had me wipe the whole phone and now I have to send it back for RMA.
Yeah, we're in the att warranty center. They're trying to flash it, and are going to replace it if it doesn't take.

All they did was flash the device back to 2.3.5 and give me a "try again and see if it works."
Well, tried it again. It didn't work.
Need to find a way to get back to 2.3.5 at home so I can use this phone until I've got a chance to RMA it.
--Edit--
Got it back to 2.3.5 using by flashing CWM6, Inception, then using Odin to get back to 2.3.5, factory resetting at every step. Tried using Kies, the ICS leak, the CWM Flashable version of the leak, nothing works. I get no information other than it force closes the Installer after about a minute at the black screen (which has a status bar, and allows me to pick WiFi networks and set up a Samsung account).
I'm at a loss. Going to have to wait for AT&T to either RMA it or update their warranty center flash to ICS. Either way, leaving it at 2.3.5 for now. If any dev feels adventurous and wants to try to tackle this, just PM me and I'll get you any info you want/need.
It happened to me when I updated to ICS two days ago. Exact same thing, black screen, notification bar only, no service. Once in a while I would get a message about "application installer" not responding.
Long story short, I just waited and it sorted itself out. Maybe something was installing the whole time, I don't know. It took an extra day for my service to come on.

Maybe 2-3 hours? I would give it overnight at least before sending it in.
Gave it about 24 hours and it completed. It's having issues seeing the SIM card. It's weird, it connected to the network without a SIM card (emergency calls only), but didn't pick up the SIM when i put it in, so i restarted it. Now is doesn't connect it see the card.
I'll play with it more tonight, just dropping by to say thanks for the help so far!

Did you flash them with CWM? And when you flashed them, did you have to wait the giant amount of time for them to come back up like I said I did earlier in the thread?
I flashed stock att the regular "download" way however I wanted to get keyboard light to work so I installed cwm6 then installed superuser and keyboard fix through cwm6. For some reason the first time I went from ics rooted to att ics I got stuck on samsung loading screen. I think it all comes down to permissions. I hope I'm making since here.
And to the time thing, no I didn't have to wait.
Try what others have said... wipe everything, install which ever version u want. But if u get stuck on samsung thing reinstall devs ics root to fix samsung loop

So I have my S4 unlocked and am using it with Metro now that they started to offer SIM cards. Everything works great with the stock T-Mo ROM. However, I would just for a day or two like to use the Metro ROM. If anyone is willing to upload a copy or knows where I can get one, let me know. Thanks.
Also waiting on this anyone have any info. Also if anyone does upload or find one will this stock rom bring everything back to stock including the recovery mode to make it look as if nothing ever happened. I guess what im really hoping for is a stock firmware anyone have a download link to one. or know of any info.
You guys should be able to use samsung keis .I used it to get back to stock when odin failed on me and it works .However you must provide the full model number and serial number of the device for it to work and it works like odin but its slower but it works it always a good when you have options especially when you need to revert to stock rom in order to send it in for repair's or exchange after you have downloaded samsung keis on your pc or laptop go ahead set it up and you will see the tabs at the top it will be the one on the right click it and follow the directions to the letter and if you've done everything correctly it will install the stock firmware and rom to your device and when its done it will reboot the s4 and your back to stock good luck

Hey thanks for the advice but for some reason samsung has not support for our device yet i installed kies before reading this trust me i tried looking everywhere for the stock firmware. in keys it just says your device is not supported. but what is weird is i dont know if i should call it a tmobile phone or just a knock off tmobile phone reason for this is. in google play store if on browser it asks u witch device to install to and it says the correct device number but at the end states tmbile. now even in kies it does this it says m919n tmb for tmobile. so im not sure what to do should i just flash tmobile firmware and then just unlock it cuz i mean from everything im coming up with it just seems that this s4"metropcs" phone is just a tmobile phone with an n and if thats the case a tmo firmware should work on it right??
Before you start flashing firmware's did you take out the battery .because thats where you can confirm that it is a sgh m919 if there is another letter at the end of m919 then you should do more research that way you dont end up with a bricked device. However if it's sgh m919 I would flash the M919 firmware for tmobile and call it a day and by the way you can get the stock firmware from chain fire's thread

To be honest with you I dont think you guys would ever see a stock metro pcs rom on xda because it wasn't sopprted in the past thats why you guys aren't getting anywhere with it .as a side not it always better to be safe than sorry even if is a extra step to take out the battery and check the model number there and you can check the serial number at the same location ive witness it countless times all because they wanted flash stock firmware a xtra step never killed anyone the last time I checked.

Your didnt understand what I was saying . Xda has never supported any stock firmware for metro pcs.thats why your having a hard time getting any support for the stock firmware .and as a side note it is clear that you can't flash the stock firmware for the tmobile variant code name SGH M919

Since you have a M919n, notice the N at the end of the model number, why don't you do a factory restore and save the image before you boot up again? Once you have that back up you can then upload it and share
This is all assuming you have the stock Metro ROM to begin with.

Ok, here's my story. I rooted my MetroPCS Samsung Galaxy S4. I wanted to unroot it but used the T-Mobile .tar file when I was unrooting it and now when I boot my phone, it shows T-Mobile on the booting proccess, though when I am brought to the lock screen, in the bottom it says MetroPCS. Does anyone know how to go back to original stock firmware? I don't know how to get it for the MetroPCS version.
Tired of waiting. Went with 4.3 GPe, haven't looked back. Owning a Nexus 7 I couldn't be happier. Still wouldn't mind trying out that Metro ROM for fun. There is a demand for it. Just saying.

Thx, I look foward to it, also I have a question. How exactly do you upload a tarp stock backup, my family member also has the galaxy s4 from metro and I could borrow it from him and upload it but the problem is I don't know how to.
Well number one you will need to root it and numder 2 you will need to install a custom recovery and number 3 once your custom is installed I suggest cwm and the person that needs the tar backup must also have cwm custom recovery as well .boot into recovery and do a complete backup .When thats done go to cwm backup folder and you should see the tar backup .now you upload it to where ever you need it and that s it on your part is done .Now it's up to person you've uploaded to and all he or she needs to do is download it and then move it to the cwm backup folder and when thats done your ready to flash the backup all should go well as long as the stock tar backup doesn't get corrupt .good luck

When you go to settings , then status it says:Network unknown, Mobile network type unknown, Service state out of service, My phone number unknown , Mobile network state disconnected, MIN unknown, PRL unknown, MEID unknown, IMEI unknown, ICCID unknown. The internet works only via wifi. I called sprint to verify that that my services are still current and i even got the MSL # from them. Any ideas on how to solve this problem is greatly appreciated.

I have the same issue and have tried using the latest modem but it still happens. I also have the same issue when restoring nands from cwm and twrp. Going to try a couple of the older modems and hopefully one of them will work.
What I did I installed the modem again and the kernel. I had started a thread in which I helped myself lol. But it's either the kernel or the modem. After that I never again had an issue.
The reason I eliminated the kernel is that pretty much every ROM has its own kernel.
But then again im no expert. Just a guy who got the same problem resolved in the same device

Anyone have any other dialer codes that I can try that may help? No problem sending or receiving texts, no issues making calls.
I've tried a few different roms, clean wipes, restores of nandroids, mc2 and ma7 modems. Right now, I'm on Synergy. Updated prl and profile as well.

3. What version were you on before the issue started and/or before you started flashing roms 4.1.1, 4.1.2, or 4.3?
4. Have you flashed any roms through odin?

Well my first suggestion would be to flash a stock mk4 (4.3) rom via odin. I will edit this in a moment with a link.

Use odin and flash this. If you need help with that feel free to ask.

I just tried that but still has the red x
Guys you have to do a manual provisioning of the phone. Since your phone has no valid entries you will not get a signal or be able to provision via data connection. I can't recall the hash code to get into manual provisioning but that's exactly what you have to do in this case. It's best just to call Sprint tech support and they can step you through it as well as give you the correct parameters, min, etc. Been there done that.
Handsfree sprint activation is ##72786#
Hoping this helps

I would have suggested Hands Free Activation but it won't work because the phone can't connect to service in its current state. Manual provisioning is the only way to get the phone back in service. Call Sprint tech support because they can give you the correct numbers and other entries that must be correct in order for the phone to connect to any service.

So, a while back, i decided to convert my ATT galaxy s3 to a tmobile build so i could run LTE from tmobile on it. Now, my problem is, i want to revert back to full att again, in which i have tried, but im getting something wrong (Status 7 errors and what not, i feel related to the changeover) and i don't want to brick my phone trying over and over. I could use some help with what ill need to FULLY get back to at least stock so i can root and install a fresh kitkat rom. Any help is appreciated!
I attached a screen of my build as well.
How exactly did you go about this? What were the zips you used to do this? What zips are you trying to flash? These are all things that can help us out in figuring out what went wrong.
Well i had read around of a test rom created especially for tmobiles GS3 variant that ran on att in order to run their LTE. So i flashed that rom and i believe custom kernels and a modem. Only thing is i cant backtrack what i did and the original files i used are lost.
Anybody? Hehe I really need to get to a computer soon ..
That's an easy fix.
Odin back to a stock 4.1.x, rooted or unrooted.
Then on first boot hold volume up + home button and to a factory reset. Done.
PS: make sure you're not running 4.3 OTA latest bootloader or you will get a semi reversible brick.

Ok awesome! Ill look up the odin stock guide on here....but you daid it jad tp be 4.1.x right? And what about updating it later on?
Also, as another option, what would I be able to flash it to to keep it in its current tmobile state but updated to a shiny new rom.
Your cwm is out of date.
Update your recovery at that error will go away when flashing
