Had my nexus rooted since day 1 and never had any issues. Lately i've been trying to use Barclay's Pingit app which doesn't work on rooted devices. So i reflashed to stock through the galaxy nexus toolkit. I did get service on the stock rom, but i've since tried a nandroid restore of my CM10 and it appears to have screwed something up. First off, the restore completed in 4 seconds, so it obviously didn't work. I'm using TWRP if that makes any difference.
So i tried a wipe and flash other roms, but still no service. Even after going back to stock, still no service. I'm assuming the botched nandroid restore has possibly damaged my radio somehow? I did try to flash another radio, and it flashes ok, but still no service.
APN settings are fine. All i get though when i try to connect to a network is "Can't connect to this network at the moment, please try again later".
I'm on 3 UK. Tried connecting to other networks, but still the same issue
Just tried flashing a new radio through fastboot, flashes fine and shows up in baseband version, but still no service...
Have you tried getril app? If your radio interface layer doesn't match it can fix it.

Yeah i tried it earlier, no luck.
Just tried again to make sure, still nothing
I have had some bad flashes with twrp. If I were you I would try cwm and then flash a new ROM.

Op, do you still have your imei? Try another simcard have you?

Yeah i've tried several new rom flashes through CWM.
@bk201doesntexist - Yeah the phone has an IMEI in the status menu. I'm wondering if it's blocked since my provider accidentally cancelled my contract a few months ago, and i didn't say a word
Scrap that actually, apparently Three UK can't block IMEI's for some reason...
Funnily enough, i tried a sim card from another carrier and not only did it not connect to any network, but now when i go to search networks it just says "Error while searching for networks".
Edit - Called my network provider, they said my IMEI was wrong. At the minute it starts with 0049, which it shouldn't apparently. I dunno how this got changed in the first place.
Ok, so i've looked into the imei 0049 issue and it's starting to make sense. I looked in the /factory folder and it's empty, well apart from lost+found but it's empty. I assume the only option is to send it off for repairs? I do still have a nandroid backup on my computer and it has efs.ext4.win on there. Gonna give that a shot.
Edit 2 - Ok so I updated TWRP as my version was 2.2. Attempted the nandroid restore again and success! Got my voice and data back!
Thanks for the suggestions, its been a stressful day and hope this can help somebody else in a similar position
Yeah i forgot mentioning the fake imei thing. I was thinking about the /factory partition being null, thats why i spoke of imei.
Please edit the thread title to include tag [SOLVED]. Thanks.

I have a PrimoC phone that I unlocked and rooted then I installed TWRP and made a backup. I did not bother connecting to WiFi before doing this, but the phone was showing that it wwas receiving signal from VM. After installing TWRP with Hasoon2000's AIO and making a backup, I went to Settings so I could connect to WiFi and download MSL reader. WiFi is on, but the phone can't find any networks and it is no longer connecting to VM.
Any ideas what's wrong?
Phone is Primo C, CDMA
flash boot. img in bootloader via cmd...

Where can I get that for the stock ROM? I've flashed the boot.img of custom ROMs on other phones, but not stock.
Open up the ROM zip from a stock ROM and pull out the boot.IMG. I'm sure there's some rooted stock ROMs posted in your dev section. Or from a nandroid backup from a stock ROM, if you have one.

Alright, I flashed the boot.img, but it didn't make a difference. Still no WiFi or connection to VM.
Flashed boot.img a couple of times and rebooted a couple of times. No WiFi or service. What can I do?
Hi, maybe your device has lost It's IMEI. Would you mind posting the first 4 numbers of your imei found in about phone? Thanks.

I don't see an IMEI anywhere... Do you mean IMSI? If so, first 4 digits are 3100
Thanks for the help, I really appreciate it. I ported my number to P+, so I don't have a working phone until I get this to work. I flashed another one of these HTC One Vs last weekend without this problem, so I'm not sure how I ran into it this time...
I recommend using SickKernel for Sense roms. Did you flash a kernel through fastboot yet? And did you flash any module files?
No I didn't flash a kernel through fastboot, nor did I on another HTC One V that worked fine last weekend.
I unlocked the phone with this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1598964
rooted with this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1751004
Then I installed TWRP and perm rooted by following Hassoon2000's guide and while using his AIO.
This is the same process I followed last week and it worked fine then. The only difference I can think of this time was I didn't even attempt to connect to WiFi before starting this process.
Thanks for the help.
Someone on another forum gave me a .zip called "Jmz-PrimoC-kernel-ICS-20120820". I flashed the boot.img from it and now the phone boots to the VM loading screen and then turns off and continuously reboots and the process repeats.
EDIT: I flashed the .zip and still have the same problem. I'm wiping the cache, dalvick cache, and doing a factory reset and then restoring a backup.
EDIT 2: Restored the backup, it loaded up the phone normally without the reboot this time. I unlocked the phone and a second later it powered off again and now it's rebooting continuously, but it makes it to the normal screen now before doing so.
Really need a phone for work guys. Please help me.
Alright, I did this on a second phone I got for my wife to try and figure out where I went. I unlocked the bootloader and rooted by following these instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1598964
WiFi worked after that and VM bars were showing up.
I then booted into Bootloader and opened Hasoon2000's HTC One V AIO Kit. I clicked on TWRP CDMA 2.1.0 and then clicked 'Flash Recovery'. The recovery flashed successfully.
I then made a backup successfully and rebooted. When I rebooted, I was getting 'No Service' and my WiFi doesn't work either.
I may have actually had WiFi and service after I flashed TWRP, but before I made the backup. I think I did, but I'm not sure. Anyways, all that is above is everything I have done with this phone since taking it out of the box. No idea what's wrong.
Please help.
EDIT: When I scan for WiFi on the 2nd phone, I am now finding my network, but strength is always poor or fair and it won't connect.
If the imei really is lost, you will not have a chance but taking it to the HTC service try flashing cwm instead of twrp, maybe that changes something

How would I know if the IMEI is lost? I just don't see anywhere it would be in the settings under about phone. Can I just flash CWM over TWRP?
I followed this:
http://www.androidauthority.com/one-v-clockworkmod-recovery-6-0-1-2-custom-recovery-115527/
and flashed CWM.
Still no WiFi or service. I don't need service with this phone, but I do need WiFi.
EDIT:
OK, so I am getting WiFi on the 2nd phone, but it's weak. When I'm right next to my router only the circle fills up on the meter and occasionally one bar will with it. Still no service though.
Hi, well I do not know the exact noun for this, but you can see it at settings, about phone, phone-identity. Sort for my bad English sometimes, I'm from Germany
Sent from my awesome HTC One V using Tapatalk 2
Under phone identity I only see Phone Name, Model Number, Device Serial Number, MEID, MEID Decimal, Phone Number, and IMSI. No IMEI. I checked a friend's working HTC One V he got on the CM sale too and he doesn't have an IMEI under phone identity and his phone works fine.
Also, I am now getting WiFi on the 2nd phone, but it's weak. When I'm right next to my router only the circle fills up on the meter and occasionally one bar will with it. Still no service though. When I go up to my room where another HTC One V running AOKP says ~35% signal, this phone drops.
Thanks for helping me.
You do have the back cover on right? Did you root both phones with Hasoons program?

Strange. I've set the language of my phone to english for testing, and I'm getting this (1st screenshot).
Instead of using About Phone, you could try opening the dialpad and dialing *#06# (star pound zero six pound). Now a text box like in my 2nd screenshot should pop up. Please only tell me the first four digits, because an IMEI is unique and private.
EDIT: zmk76 is right, in the back cover is the antenna built-in, so signal drop without the back cover is normal (I have really heavy signal drops without the back cover)
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.

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:
Flashaholics anonymous will help.

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

this is a known issue with AT&T. not only the S3 but HTC's One X and several others as well. i would imagine the problem is based on network location. you could try powering down, removing the battery and sim card for a few minutes and then clearing the data and cache in the phone app once its powered back up. otherwise, give a call to customer service. cheers
Ahh right. I forgot my dad had that when he had the s3 and he traded his phone for an iPhone..lol. I panicked and thought it was because I rooted my phone so I flashed stock with Odin. Guess I'll root it back and backup my efs folder this time lol

I recently experienced the the same issue but with a different rom. I did a clean install, everything booted up and seemed to run exceptionally well. After 30 mins or so I lost my data icon and signal bars disappeared all together. My imei showed 0 along with eri version and serial number. I panicked a little bc I was at work without access to my laptop, booted into recovery and restored a BlackJelly cwm backup. Luckily everything was seemingly normal again after that and going forward has been fine. But a couple of months prior I flashed the wrong recovery.img and completely corrupted the efs folder. None of my cwm backups worked at fixing the imei, eri and serial. Thankfully there is an amazing guide in our development forum that addresses exactly how to fix this.
Sent from my Atat S3 that now thinks its a Galaxy Nexus.....
Those darn s3's haha Lol. I don't get why it seems like restoring a nandroid is temporary but going back to stock with Odin erases the problem. I don't even know what I did wrong while flashing. I basically read how to root then started flashing things.

I flashed beans new build 14 ROM, clean flash, wiped cache, factory reset blah blah blah....Every time I send an mms, the person receiving it says it was coming from a different number than mine. I checked "my phone number" under status and it's showing the phone number to my second line I added but never use. I have searched all over and can find no help. What can I do? I have re-flashed, wiped and re-flashed several times. Anyone ran in to this before? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
I've never run into that before. I would call sprint and see if they can fix it. It's probably a glitch on their end.

Never heard of this. But i suspect you had to go throug hands free activation again? If so your second line somehow got activated instead of your main line. One way to check ia to sign into sprint online and see which number ia activated there.
I would suggest going back to unrooted stock and see what happens, if it still shows the wrong number call or go see sprint.

Be sure your on a touch wiz ROM and do hands free activation. To do that simply dial ##72786# and wait for your phone to reboot. Upon boot unlock your screen and DONT touch your phone it will do an activation and do your latest prl and profile and your phone will reboot again. Let it finish booting and unlock your phone again and wait for a screen to say activation has been successfull and that should fix it.
