Hi
Im gonna unroot my phone when i get home.....will this change or have any affect on my imei number?
Reason is, i called t-mobile to get them to unlock phone ( and gave them my imei number) they say it takes about 10 days, will flashing my phone again during this time balls up the process ?
thanks
As far as im aware this will not change your IMIE < Thats actually illegal in the uk and various other countrys.
the IMIE should be device specific, whatever the mod or rom flash.
cheers Potter

Baseband already repaired with specific firmware.But not luck for unlock.
Simlock corrupt, we are waiting for repair efs to fix this problem.
Hi all, I bought a new Galaxy Note II overseas in Malaysia in February. It is an original set fully network unlocked. I have tried using Vodafone New Zealand SIM card in it but to no avail. I tried flashing new modems and stock firmwares, ariza patch, backup and restore IMEI before and after flashing. My serial numbers and IMEI numbers are still the same and are matching to what is on the box.
If I insert a Malaysian SIM card it works on roaming mode since I am back in NZ, however if I insert a NZ SIM card and try to connect to the local network it says 'Unable to connect,' calling and messaging only results in 'Not registered to network.' And it only allows me to make emergency calls. My firmware is XXDMB2, baseband is ariza, kernel is Perseus.
I would be grateful for any help.

Have you checked the Mayalsian phone model supports NZ operator frequencies?

Just a sugestion to you, root the phone or install a pre-rooted ROM from drketan and then install Galaxy SIM Unlock to check and be sure that the phone is fully network unlocked and also not SIM restricted.
To check the SIM restriction make sure that under Details -Accepted MCC/MNC - it is writen "all" and not some numbers like 5021x were x can be any number.
Under the next line I expect your phone to have Network Lock -unlocked, because you could use any SIM and make SOS calls, but if the above line is showing some numbers instead of "all" that might be your problem.
It is worth checking this because the aplication is free to check the status of the locking.
My new Note 2 was locked, I got the official unlock code from my carrier, entered the unlock code, the Network Lock was showing as unlocked but the SIM restriction status was still showing as locked to my carrier , under Accepted MCC/MNC I had my operator network code instead of "all".
I paid 3 euro and unlocked my phone fully with the Galaxy SIM Unlock, small price for a full unlock if your phone is rooted.
Good luck
Hi mendo, thanks for the suggestion. I ran galaxsim and I will post a screenshot. I am leaning towards the serial number being generic 0. Flashing Dr Ketans rom didnt help but thanks for the advice.

The Serial Number is showing 000000000000 on mine as well, this is not an issue it must be a bug in the tool.
Use some other tool or in Settings- About Device - Staus - Serial Number to display the S/N if you want to make sure that it is the same with the one from the box.
The Product Code should be GT-N7100xxxyyy, where xxx is the HW version and yyy is the CSC (country sales code) for the country/carrier.
This Not Active product code, could be the result of your problem and it might signal that your nv_data.bin and md5 files don't match.
I found an old post for a Galaxy S phone where changing the phone code or modifing the nv_data.bin is an issue and the SIM won't register.
I am sure that there are more topics about this but I'll post the link for the Galaxy S issue where you can start investigating more.

The rest looks OK and your phone looks fully unlocked.
Here is a N7100 topic about the product code.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2045278
tried galaxy s/s2/s3 csc changertried galaxy s/s2/s3 csc changerCheck Fus is the only apk that will show the product code of your device with no need for root.
Unfortunately the apk doesn't work for the original purpose but at least it reads your product code.
Also it looks that the md5 checksum file is not autogenerating anymore if you edited the nv_data.bin and deleted the md5 file.
You need to restore the original bin and md5 file from an original efs backup.
I've just noticed that in your product code I can still see the CSC code as BTU.
Here is some info on the CSC and a free tool right at the end of the post if you need to change it, but it needs root and it will wipe your phone.
The apk is "galaxy s/s2/s3 csc changer".

Good luck, but I think you are in trouble and maybe only Samsung official service might be your salvation.
Wipe your root and install an official ROM before sending it to Samsung with the "product code missing" fault.
You may wish to hide the imei number as that is the one unique number that gives your phone an identity.

Product code is not active no matter what. I edited the nv_data.bin, made a backup of it, and did not delete the md5 file. I'll restore it and send it to Samsung service center. Thanks for the help brother, would've donated if possible but I'm a broke uni student

Editing the nv_data.bin will make the md5 original file useless because the checksum is different and you can't generate a valid md5 file anymore to match a modiffied nv_data.bin file.
Copying/Restoring the original nv_data.bin and original md5 files from a backup and set the permissions right, as in the Galaxy S topic might help.
Hello, did you solve your problem? I'm facing a similar issue with my N7100, I got the same message not registered on network and my sim isn't recognized. How did you fix it?
my IMEI is correct, I got exactly this problem
thnaks for help
Hello to everybody,
First of all sorry for my english.
So about what is the tread
There is arround 10 bricked phones in Bulgarian Android Forum.Becouse we cant find where is the problem I decide to ask here.
Problem: After flashing stock test 4.3 and downgrade after back to 4.1.2 the result is --IMEI 0049 and Permanent Test Mode.
what we know until now:
Phones bought from shops for phones reported they downgrade back without issues
Phones bought from mobile operators -bricked IMEI
Flashing again 4.3 after brick do not restore IMEI
P.s
Sorry if the tread is on wrong place and 10x for your opinions about problem
Find someone knows English better to translate it for you
Impact on device/How I know I have corrupted EFS
When there is EFS partition is corrupted, device loses IMEI and due to this device can't gets connected to network. Baseband info also sometimes shows unknown.
-Check your IMEI in setting / by dialling *#06# if it is null OR if it starts with 0049** then IMEI is generic and corrupted. In Normal case IMEI which you can see in device setting or dialing *#06# is exactly same you can see on bill/box/sticker under battery compartment
-If you are unable to connect to network in spite of correct IMEI, chance are
A. Your device is Locked to specific Network OR
B. Your device is banned due to tempered IMEI
-If your AP,CP,CSC all are correct and even you are getting error (unknown CSC XXX) on kies update, it may be due to corrupt Product code in EFS. Read This for detail.

If you dont have efs backup then you probably need the z3x box to make repair for your imei and change it to the original one didnt test the ariza patch on this kind of problem but why not give it a shot
