So, I installed CM10 on my Galaxy S3 on Bell, and I was having trouble connecting to the network, so I did a full restore back to the stock rom, and still I wasn't able to connect to my network (Bell). So I checked the Status, and it's saying: Network- Unkown. and IMEI - 0 (IMEI- 01)
So, how can I get my IMEI number back and connect to my network.

imei says 0 on s3 i747m
I have an s3 i747m and i flashed CM 10 then restored to stock rom. After that i found th imei is 0, Mobile Network State: Disconnected and its Roaming. I have tried everything. I've tried NV-Generator to create a .txt file for my imei and use NV-reader-writer to inject it in my phone but it always says, "Failed.. Phone does not answer". I even tried the QPST RF NV Manager to put my imei back and it says phones not connected. I have searched everywhere on this forum and tried everything and nothing is working. And yes I do have samsung drivers installed that's how I rooted my phone in the first place. As of now my phone is like an ipod running android I can't use any phone featuers.
PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!! total noob here :crying:

Just simple thing and I was also having the problem and there was no solution. but I found a solution on my own. I just flashed custom ROM and wprkrled great. Please try it and tell me, because it worked for me
My Radio stopped functioning earlier in the day IN THE MIDDLE of a phone call. I have not been able to get it to find a network provider since that time. My details are as follows:
Phone: MAGURO
ROM: Rasbeanjeally 4.1.2
Kernel: Trinity Stable 67
Provider: T-Mobile
Baseband: UGLH1
RIL: UGLH1
Location: Hawaii
I tried putting my Indonesian Telkomsel SIM into the phone to verify the problem was not a physical issue with the SIM and the phone could still not find a network. My Nokia phone works just fine with either SIM. I tried flashing another baseband to see if it had something to do with that but this did not help. I did update Busybox last night from the Play Store but i dont think that could have done anything as the phone was working this morning for a while? The Wifi is still working. Someone suggested that I reconfigure the APN which I did but that did not solve the problem.
After I reboot and go to About/Status, i see the following:
NETWORK: Unknown
MOBILE NETWORK: Unknown
SERVICE STATE: Out OF Service
MOBILE NETWORK STATE: Disconnected
Does anybody have any idea if there is some code i can run to talk to the radio to see if it is alive? Or does anyone have any other ideas what i can do to fix the situation?

The radio is gone. I just flashed the stock image after trying many other things and it is just not working no matter what I do. The phone recognizes different SIM chips but cannot get service no matter what I do. I have locked the phone and will send back to Samsung for repair.
Thanks all and especially to SIMMS22 for helping.

So I have a Telus I747M (Canadian) and I used ROM Manager to get CWM 6 on my phone. The thing is that I chose the Metro PCs version and I installed it. Now I have no signal at all. I flashed the firmware back to the stock telus one via USB and Odin. Still no service, anything to do now?
are you sure you flashed the right stock rom? Stupid question but it's always best to check. And did you get your phone from Metro or did you unlock it?

Try flashing any rom (like Cyanogenmod) and then use any of the many methods to re-unlock your phone to Metro and see if that helps.

If your IMEI shows 0, no amount of flashing will help you. You must restore you IMEI to have data working again. If you backed up your IMEI or EFS folder your set, just restore it.

Great reply, but yeah, I'm left with the same problem of slow connectivity. Same problem as linked post, and followed his process to the letter. Oh well, spent most of my Sunday trying to fix this. As long as I can make calls and transceive texts, that'll have to do.

Well if you have problems still and the imei is back, I don't see why there's anything wrong with taking it to the store to get it checked out.

I am in the same boat. Slow connection, rarely actually works. Had lost my imei, but restored it with the NV whatever.. Saved my QCN using QPST, then tried to use QCN restorer app, and am getting an error occurred blah blah.
I brought it in to AT&T yesterday, had a full restore completed and new sim card installed... no luck. guess i will keep trying stuff until its either bricked or back to normal haha
Hi everyone!
I need help again, I flashed Vanir ROM (http://www.emccann.net/nuclearmistake/VanirAOSPNightlies/geehrc/) but it didnt work, so I flashed it back to Cyanogenmod 11 but forgot to put the sim card back during flashing, but the thing is, after i put the SIM back after flsahing, the SIM card is being detected (it says "No Service - Globe" [Globe is the name of my provider]) but there is no signal. I tried reflashing back to stock ROM... then restored EFS backups... its still not working ("Service Disabled"). I even did a complete wipe, including system folder and reflashing to stock ROM... but its still not working.
Also I tried playing adb earlier because i tried copy/pasting a rom to my phone. i tried adb kill-server, then adb start-server, adb usb, adb devices... did something on these commands affected this issue?

Hey guys I bought my sg3 about 3 months ago from a friend who had cynogen mod on the phone and it worked fine but I had cynogen mod on auto update and now my imei shows as 0 via *#06# and I cant call or text etc. Unfortunately I do not have a backup from when the imei worked because I didnt expect it to do this. So far Ive removed cynogen mod and reset it to stock firmware but im having the same issue any suggestions?

Your baseband is probably corrupted. You may try reflashing a stock modem/baseband via recovery. I had a similar problem once, although I was on stock ROM, and re-flashing the modem zip worked.
I, however, tread very carefully here as I am aware the forum is wary about discussions relating to IMEI.

You can look up peoplearmy's method (google it). You will not find help on how to fix IMEI on XDA. I had my IMEI wiped out a while back after flashing a bad rom. I had to get it put back, and then had to get LTE back.
Good luck.

Can you go to Settings => About Device and see what you have under Baseband version? Whilst you are there, also check what Android version it says and the build number.

Everything looks OK as your baseband version would likely read 'unknown' if it's bad. You may, however, still try re-flashing the modem via the method posted in the attached thread ... Please proceed at your own peril as I offer no guarantee that this will work or will not result in damaged phones,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1831898
Please note you will need custom recovery (e.g. CWM or TWRP). You will find instructions for installing custom recovery at the bottom of the thread. If this doesn't work, then you may try doing a hard wipe from recovery and reinstalling everything including system ROM, modem and kernel.
Hope it works out for you.
Simple fix is to reinject imei which located behind the battery.. But sometimes for some reason if you do this, you'll stuck with edge network, can be fix though but you gotta go back to stock in order to do so

you will have to google peoplearmy imei lte and find the tutorial on how to restore imei and get LTE back.
You will not be able to find the thread on XDA because XDA deleted it sometime ago. I was like you and lost my imei. Once I re-injected it using a tutorial on XDA, I was stuck on edge. Then I finally found peoplearmy's tutorial, downloaded the programs and followed the steps to get LTE back. I got it back and haven't lost it since.

I can't find the link, can you PM me it?
I had that happen to me with a 0 on my phone and was able to get it back I had no backup either what I did is go on the NV Data restore or NV writer thread and downloaded the NV writer and put myself back on stock ...I went thru a few pages in the post and someone had a file where you could put your IMEI into that file maybe it was set up thru notepad but you could fill in the zeros with your IMEI and name it I think a txt.file after then open the NV writer and instead of backing it up cause you can't just restore that file where you fill in you're IMEI and it went right back into my phone. There also a video on that page how to do it. You just need basically that file to put your IMEI back in. I might still have it if not keep going thru the post took find it. There a picture of what it looks like to restore if you list it but every time I tried to open that link to restore it wouldn't let me. Hope it wasn't to confusing but it's basically a white box with a bunch of zeros and replace the zeros with your IMEI and save it as atxt. File I believe and just restore it as shown in the video for backing it up but just restore instead it does work cause I didn't have an IMEI on my phone it just had a zero
