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.
What carrier are you using the device on?

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?

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:

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

So I got an identical Verizon Note 4 to the one I had. I had both unlocked and rom'd. Then I made a total backup of my old phone and attempted to restore it to my new one. Now when I start the phone I get an error saying "An error has occurred with the fingerprint sensor. If this message appears repeatedly, restart your phone".
I assumed it was due to the fact that each fingerprint sensor has hardware/software unique to each phone, and that I overwrote this software when I restored from one phone to the other. I attempted to flash back to stock retail bpa1 firmware hoping that maybe it would be automatically restored but no dice, still receiving this error.
Does anyone know how to fix this or have I permanently lost fingerprint functionality with this phone?
edit: going into the hidden menu, under "fingerprint test" it says Version: null :\
I did the EXACT same thing and have the EXACT same problem Did you ever figure it out?

Try booting to TWRP and delete /data/validity, and locksettings.db, locksettings.db-shm, and locksettings.db-wal from /data/system/.
NEVER MIND. PROBLEM RESOLVED ITSELF AT ATTEMPT #57.
Hello Friends,
I have been running stock unrooted PD1 for about a month. I need to get native hotspot working for my job now.
I noticed that reactivation lock is on and can't figure out how to turn it off.
Settings/Security/Reactivation Lock
When I enter my correct password, I get one of two error messages:
1) Sign-in Again
2) Processing Failed
I've tried this on both LTE and WiFi. I've also tried restarting the phone several times in between attempts...
Has anyone else had this problem, and found a solution?
Thanks!
Ok there's a short version to this and a long version, I'll start with the short version....
After a lot of tail chasing I've almost got the phone 100% back to how it should be, it seems that the only thing left to sort out is for me to be allowed to use USB instead of UART to reset my IMEI (got wiped out, "unknown"). Is there any reason why it wouldn't stick or a way to resolve it? The phone states "USB_Diag selected", "Change Complete", etc.... but when I click back it's still on UART. I've tried rebooting direct from that screen, coming out and rebooting, using the home button, etc, etc, etc. For whatever reason it just wont stick?
Long version......
I wanted to unlock the phone so that I could try out a payg sim that I was having issues with (only phone with a micro-slot). At first I tried to unlock it which didn't work, it suggested installing a prior baseband version of modem to get it to work so I tried that and it came up baseband unknown, imei unknown, etc, etc, etc. Fun fun fun. A bit of panic set in and I started installing anything I could find, I soon found myself with a "image resolution" boot error, which I believe was down to me trying to downgrade to 4.2.2 when 4.4 had already been installed. I eventually got myself back on an even keel but I'm still left with the IMEI unknown error. I'm trying to set it to the default using Samsung Tool Pro (24.3) but I keep getting an Access Violation (004074E0). I've disabled UAC just in case it wasn't fully running in administrators rights (which I had set it to do) and I've tried everything else I can think of. The one thing through browsing around that I can't get set properly is the 9090 menu to have USB instead of UART.
Info:
Model - GT-I9195
Version - 4.4.2
Baseband - I9195XXUCNJ5
IMEI - Unknown
Oh, one other thing that I recall. When selecting "Reset MSL" in the Samsung tools it said it completed successfully but my phone didn't reboot? I wasn't sure if that had anything to do with it. Secure boot status shows "Samsung"?
I have managed to force the IMEI using xposed but I would prefer not to go down that route if possible.
Thanks for any help
Hi, my roommate has encountered a situation with his phone, yesterday out of the blue he wokeup to find his phone screen with error message" Security Error: This phone has been flashed with unauthorized software & is locked. Call your mobile operator for additional support. Please not that repair/return for this issue may additional cost." He has not altered his phone in any way. He went to Verizon and they couldn't resolve it, they recommended a cell phone repair shop they couldn't either. Ive tried to flash the latest firmware using Odin Ive used updated version and a previous one and process fails on both. Has anybody encounter this problem and been able to resolve? Any help will be appreciated thanks.
