Help required...IMEI number changed

Hey, i was trying to unroot my phone and reset the counter using triangle away but now my imei number is changed and my sim card doesnt work...please someone help me.....what should i do

Which ROM you have installed? Have you tried to flash official stock rom again? If no, try to flash and see.
If you are on MF2 or ME6 ROM, then you might need to restore EFS backup.. Anyways, give us more details so that we can investigate futher.

Why? When I was an admin in a big forum like this, requests like yours never ceased to amaze me. This is a public forum, not a private messaging service. How can anyone else learn from any of it if its parts are deleted every time something's resolved!?!
It's a selfish request... in exactly the same way that someone saying they'll PM someone to privately continue the discussion, when said discussion is guaranteed to contain information from which others may benefit, is selfish. I'm not saying you're selfish, or calling you a name or anything like that. I'm simply pointing-out that maybe you didn't think it through before asking a mod to remove the thread. It's participants aren't the only ones reading and learning around here.
Food for thought.

if you don't know what you are doing read everything many times and watch tutorials on YT. backup is the key feature when you flash anything.

Which rom are you using? Check that.
Do you have Odin flashable stock rom? If not download that, then you can flash the whole rom with Odin or from there you can extract the modem file and flash with Odin. The process is not actually easy if you have never done it before. Or you can search for the specific rom modem which is flash ready and download and flash that. The easiest method would be to flash stock rom altogether.

I think I didnt make my clear, I meant what ROM did your phone originally come with, which modem or baseband version, do you know that? Was it international rom or country specific? The rom you flashed later didn't have the right modem version that is why you are in this mess, find out which rom your phone came with and then download that rom then you can either flash the whole rom or extract the modem file and flash that.

I also had the same problem with my wifes s3. I had to unroot, rest binary counter and so on. I then took it to Samsung and all they did was flash the latest stock rom from our carrier and it fixed the imei problem. if only I researched it here first would have saved me a lot of trouble. a thread such as this one would have answered all my questions. plz don't delete this thread.

If you're not worried about data loss but don't want root, I'd download the Odin flashable 100% stock MDL tar from this thread.... and obviously flash via Odin. That would leave you at 100% stock state with the latest T-Mobile MDL firmware.
If you plan on rooting and flashing custom stuff anyway, just follow this guide. After that, you'll have root and a custom recovery from which you could flash any of the modified/stock TouchWiz ROMs or CyanogenMod or whatever other ROMs you wish.

[Q] Switching ROMS?

hi i have a note 2 sgh-I317m and im currently on CleanRom 5.0
ive been looking at the new Ditto rom for note 2 and i want to switch, but is there a certain process i have to go through to switch? or can i just upgrade on top of cleanrom atm?

You should follow the op's (developer) instructions..Some of these 4.3 roms want you to flash a file for the 4.3 bootloader...I'd read the instructions very carefully and read as many post as you can because more then usual you'll face the same issues they had...
good luck

If your on 4.1.2 you will need to either flash the att I317 leak if your on att it's on post 226 in the general forum att 4.3 leak or flash a 4.3 bootloader as per the ops instruction in the rom you want. Both use Odin. If you pick the first option it will wipe your device and make you fully stock. So it will require you to root again and flash twrp. The up side it's the most stable way. The second uses Odin to flash. Some have reported problems. Read through the first few pages of the rom to see the issues.

OTA will only work with a stock 3e recovery...
But taking a factory update over the top of a rooted rom is not a good idea...
Backups are done with a custom recovery...and yes...you need to start reading and learning the proper steps or you will end up making a paper weight..... g

For warranty there haven't been reports of denial, but don't know about trading it in.. I don't think they will check though

Why not just factory reset? Probably the easiest way if you just want stock.

[Q] VM S3 can't get newest update

First of all, I really appreciate the help and expertise this forum provides!
So back in June I rooted my phone with directions here on xda. I am an extreme noobie (in my 40's) and had no business going down this road lol! I used the Phil Z method and everything actually went pretty smooth. The problem came when I tried to unroot the phone to get the latest software update. I eventually had to take my phone to a schiesty cell phone repair store. just to get the phone working again.
The problem is that I still can't get the latest update. The update fails because there is "not enough space available to download system update." The picture I attached shows the screen in download mode. It seems that not all of the original root was removed.(?)
Does someone here have an idea what I can do?
