Hi all!
I just installed the latest Black Android Theme V2.5 LIVE (runnin' Lightning ROM 6.1) and everything looks good but I can't get any mobile connection... In the upper right corner there's a symbol for "no SIM" but my SIM is in and was working fine just awhile ago???
I've tried restoring old backups, with and without wipe and i've also installed new fresh ROM's but nothing seems to work.
I've even tried my girlfriends SIM but it's all the same....
PLEASE does anyone know an answer to my problem? I really don't want to restore the phone and send it on service!
man just go to settings > wifi and networks > network operators (something like that) and search for your sim carrier operator after the search choose your operator and it wil register to it and you will be able to call and it will recognize your sim..
if it does not work then try to update you modem and change apn settings (maybe even update to your carrier csc).
Your sim is probably after getting corrupt. It happened to me. Got a new sim card and it was fine again.
They only have a certain lifespan and do pack up all of a sudden without any particular reason, especially if its a few years old.

Thanks for the answer but I can't reach the settings for your talking about...it's grey'd out and if I hit it then a "OK" box appear which tells me that I don't have a SIM card.

I've tried my girlfriends sim and still no function. So I don't think that my sim is the issue.

Maybe a stupid suggestion but did you check flight mode or data connection, if those aren't enabled/disabled?
check your emai...if your phone has one *#06# iff its corrupted its a big problem for you mate

Yeah, i've made 2 backups. One on the internal SD and one on my computer. But when I've been reading about it, it seems that people that made the backup with root explorer might be in trouble...like me.
It has something to do with permissions getting lost...
Do you know which way is the best to copy the backup and overwrite the existing one? Terminal or Root Explorer?
When I'm doing it with root explorer I can't get rid of the existing nv_data.bin and nv_data.bin.md5?

mate regular back up is not the one you need. efs folder is a folder that contain your imei - and it need special comands in order to back it up. there is a way to do so in android original development thread but i am afraid its to late for you. but i have seen few people solving this issue by getting copy EFS of second SGS2 and they made it work. i cant help you futher in this issue but i really feel for you.
when i saw your thread i though omg...i hope this guy didnt f...up his galaxy...and i just gave you an idea to check imei hoping that it wont be that case...well at least you know whats going on... and i wish you all the best..
You are lucky you have a backup, install a terminal editor.
copy your nv_data.bin to your internal sd card
Code:
su
cp /sdcard/nv_data.bin /efs/nv_data.bin
rm -rf /efs/nv_data.bin.md5
remove your sim card and reboot the phone then
do this
Code:
su
busybox chown 1001:1001 /efs/nv_data.bin
taken from here
If your phone is more broken than it was before its not my fault but this should work.

I have just updated from Leo's 2.6 to 2.7.1 and when it booted up I noticed I had no signal at all so I rebooted with no difference. I then booted into CWM and flashed Cognition, which had the same issue when it booted. So I restored an old CWM MIUI backup with no difference.
I have removed and reinserted the sim card and tried my wife's too with no difference.
Any suggestions or is this phone a write-off needing a hardware repair? Is it possible the flashing of a rom can kill the radio?

Just checked and the is no IMEI, wifi Mac or Bluetooth address. How can this have happened from a flashed rom.
I don't recall backing up my efs. Would anything have done this automatically?

Thanks that helped and I managed to solve the issue, although where previously the /efs folder was always read only, it's now the opposite.
Also, can someone tell me if, when first booted, the wifi and bluetooth have 'unavailable' next to their address in the status screen on a reboot until first used? Mine do now but I can't recall if they did before. However, as soon as they're used the wifi mac address appears for example.

What do you mean by status screen? ill have a look on mine for you.
EDIT: I see what you mean now and have checked. Yes mine are unavaliable at first boot before connecting.
Superb, cheers mate. Looks like my phone is fully functioning again. Scary 4-5 hours that was.
Just need to find out the default permissions for everything in the /efs folder now and set it back to what they should be.
Could someone please list the permissions of the files and folders in their /efs folder please? I just want to make sure mine are back as they should be should any rogue app try to mess around with the contents.
Cheers in advance.

Hi,
I've flashed my Galaxy ACE a few times and now i realized that when i try to see my IMEI it gives me 0000000000000000.
I've tried to look for /efs folder and the nv_data.bin file but they don't exist.
Is there anyway to recover/generate this file? I have no backups
Checking imei with *#06# ?
Your phone is bye bye. I am sorry for your loss.

What is weird is that i can still make calls and sms.
I only noticed that i had no IMEI because Viber became deactivated all the time, and i checked their foruns and saw that this behaviour was due to no IMEI.
Maybe it's better send your phone to tech.
Try to either remove the sim card or turn on the airplane mode.
I've burnt a sim card by flashin with odin. IMEI did show up if the above procedure was done.

Nothing you can do about lost IMEI. There's someone who managed to copy it between phones but then that makes his phone have another phone's imei so I guess it's not a good solution.
Return for warranty!
Can someone tell me if the /efs folder in Galaxy ACE is a partition mounted on /efs or a folder created on the / filesystem?
Also can someone provide me a zip with the contents of a Galaxy Ace /efs folder so i can try to modify the nv_data.bin to get my IMEI back, i have a friend that has a sptbox and i've eard that with a nv_data.bin file it's possible to change the IMEI.

my gf lives in another country atm and i cant put my hand on her phone, that atm isnt rooted and still on gb.. she had a prob on her sg2, we were talking on skype we ended the call and suddenly she lost all connection to networks and seems the phone using *#06* doesnt show any IMEI.
any chance i can restor it? i dont have any bkup tho.. but ive seen somewhere that ODIN has a feature to clear EFS folder and android reassign a new IMEI..
is that true? is it working? this thing will kill the warranty from samsung?

Hi guys,
I have searched high and low for this issue. I have found a lot of forums on how to fix the problem but none of them pertain to my circumstances. I installed Omega ICS ROM v 13.1 a week or two ago. I then decided to install Omega JB v18. I then upgraded to Omega JB v21 as well. In preparation for the official Samsung JB ROM, I went back to ICS. I started by downgrading to Omega v13.1 ICS followed by stock Samsung ICS ROM I9300XXALE8. A couple of days after doing this, all of a sudden, whilst on a call, I lost signal and then the stop sign icon appeared in the top toolbar. I have no radio, no wifi, no bluetooth and no lock screen & power menu. After all of the reading I have done, I have managed to discover that my EFS has disappeared. I have rooted the phone and installed ES File explorer and have looked inside the EFS folder only to find that it is blank. I did have a Nandbackup but managed to delete it in my attempts to recover my phone (yes I know im stupid but I didnt realise the significance of the backup until I realised what was missing!!). So, no EFS backup. Seemingly nothing in the EFS folder on the phones root. Any help would be greatly appreciated. One thing I did notice, which I am sure is significant in some way, is that when I put Omega JB on it, my sdcard mounted as "sdcard0" or something along those lines. Again, because I am fairly new to the custom ROM world, I didnt realise the significance of this until I had down graded back to ICS.
Please help!!!!
Thanks again.

If you do not have backup of efs folder. You have no chance of getting imei back.
You can go to service centre for rebuilding efs folder.

Flashing any roms can destroy the EFS thats why its always rule one to backup EFS folder . Multiple flashing up down up down increases the risk .
Did not Omega backup your EFS .
You say
have no radio, no wifi, no bluetooth and no lock screen & power menu
Thats not the signs of IMEI corruption as it plays no part in power menu or lockscreen .

I think that S3 has some problem in securing it's EFS folder.
I flashed my S2 with hundred's of roms and never faced this issue.
Secondly in my experience lock screen and power menu is efs folder issue.

A reminder about 2 things:
1) swapping/changing/etc IMEI's is illegal
2) giving someone else your EFS folder wont work, your phone will just default to the generic IMEI which is normally no better.

Hey. This is one of the things I had read about and tried and it came back with nothing. I don't recall the error message but I think it said it couldn't find the partition or folder or something. I am certain that it has to do with Omega Jb and the fact that it installed and mounted sdcard as sdcard0 and somehow, when going back to omega ics, this has occurred. Another thing I have just now remembered is that I had also setup a swap partition on my ext sdcard and had it mounted. This was all working fine for a few days though so I don't see how that caused it. Was really odd. Anyways, thanks for all the help, but I am going to pay for it to be repaired.

Imei NULL/NULL - EFS Folder Lost.
Hi, I have a i9300 which lost efs folder, already tried restoring it through the box octopus, but at the time of writing the imei, it reports the error. (Write imei fail). Anyone have any idea what I can do?
So this morning I woke up and i couldn't get on my carrier network.. Which made me wonder wtf was going on. So I tried to go into settings to connect, but it wouldn't let me. I then realized my IMEI number was "unknown" which made my face one huge questionmark. I've tried using this guide; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1264021
But I can't find my folder? BUT!!! I found a EFS backup on my internal sd card.. which is good. I just don't know how to use it now?
I have CM 10 Nightly built from about the 15th of December (2012) and Siyah kernel... I think..
The folder i'm talking about is a zip named efsbackup.tar.gz
Can anyone help me? I tried going back to an old backup I had from october, but it didnt work either..
Try using an app like kTool (there are others) to restore the EFS backup (but obviously you only want to try this if it's definitely borked). There's a thread devoted to it on here (and you can get it from Google Play) which should have instructions on how to restore with it (never had to restore one myself).
The backup would have come from Siyah, which automatically makes an EFS backup. If you manage to fix it, thank Gokhan

yeah, you've got a generic IMEI. Did you look under the battery? there's your REAL IMEI.
Still, dial *#06# and tell me what number pops up.

I downloaded following;
ES File Explorer
GSII_Repair
HC-kTool
BusyBox
Terminal Emulator ( because I found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19522938&postcount=10713 but I don't know how to work with it, but it seems to be this might be able to fix my problem..) but I don't know how to work with this.. or what file I should use in this.. extracted or unextracted.. etc. haha I checked the #1234# or whatever.. For what I can see everything looks legit - still.

Well, you got a couple of guides to use those apps.
First of all get try locating the efs back up with root explorer app, so you can move it to a folder where hc ktool can restore it.
If that doesn't work get busybox running in the background and open gsii repair.
and if all the above don't work, your up for reading threads time.
