Guys...
i always read on xda about stuff on how to root s2 and all...
an everything was going well for me...
the last rom i flashed was Villainrom 2.4.2 and Ninphetamine kernel 2.0.5
Everything was going well for a week or so..
but all of a sudden a call got dropped today...
and after that i lost all service to my network...
it was appearing like the sim card was not inserted (there is a icon like no-parking on the status bar)
at first i just switched to flight mode and back on...no change
and then i rebooted the phone...still the same
i even reflashed the rom and also the stock rom just to see what the problem might be...
but still it was the same...everything other than the sim was functional...
then after searching and reading through xda...i decided to check my imei and baseband...
they both are UNKNOWN
the guys on the forum were talking abt 'efs' folder and stuff...
unfortunately stupid me did not back-up that folder
I purchased this phone 4rm UK guys...n i live in Sri Lanka (which is quite a long way)...
got the phone with a great difficulty...
its kinda impossible for me to send it back...
i got it the hard way
now i feel so bad....
am stranded guys...
please do help me out....
btw i registered just now because of this problem
help me out guys...
please
please help me out guys...
i have placed my faith in u all only

Not sure if this will help. It seems that if you use a back up from another phone and flash it over to yours (might need to be on the same network *shrugs*) it works *maybe* there is a dedicated thread. The OP fixed his problem and stated the solution as well.
Hope it helps.
Cheers.

Just copying efs folder as backup can't solve that. I suggest to flash back to stock rom and bring it to service center and lie about what happened. Just say you were on a call and all of a suden that happened. Don't mention you flashed and rooted etc.

I was on Samsung GT-I9100 / I9100XXK14 / 2.635.7-I9100XXK14 before rooting and flashing custom roms. On 2nd flash I lost all sms and call logs (nothing else) while using Titanium Backup Pro. I also had backed up in Kies. But found out I can't restore from Kies becuz it doesn't recognize custom rom. Purchased TB after I lost original XXK14 firmware due to a botched backup on my part. Can anyone help me get back to my XXK14 firmware temorarily so I cans restore sms and call logs?

Saw this link earlier but the XXK14 download link is broken and I'm not knowledgable as to what other stock roms I can use here in the U.S. on AT&T (not sure that carrier is an issue other than the fact ATT is GSM / HSPA+ 21 Mbps). I'd really appreciate directions to an alternate XXK14 link and/or another compatible GB 2.3.5 stock firmware.

I've checked and can't see anything there. Thanks.
Alternatively use Check Fus, Google it.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Here is what you need to do
1. Get Check FUS downloader: LINK
2. Run FUS Select you Carrier / Region / Model and Download the Stock firmware for your phone.
3. Backup anything you need. You will need to wipe the data and the cache from Recovery mode before you flash the downloaded Fware..
4. Use ODIN and Flash the Downloaded Stock Firmware to your phone. You will loose the root access and you should have your stock back. Yeah before Install Wipe data and cache.
Lemme know if that works. If any doubt... just ask. Dont do anything wrong i'll try to help if i know the answer.

Did you try the "firmwares" link??
I have concerns about you flashing your phone if you can't navigate a website... No offense. I'm not trying to be insulting, but it's really easy to find.
Hi guys,
I'm a newbie so please bare with me. I have a Virgin Mobile UK Samsung Galaxy S2 which was on Gingerbread 2.3.4 or 5. I foolishly flashed it yesterday to yes you guessed it, ICS 4.0.3. Now as far as the phone itself is concerned, everything is working pefectly fine. No issues whatsoever except now I've noticed that my carrier has changed to T-Mobile UK even though the phone has full functionality on the Virgin network still? Also I get the "This device cannot download firmware" message now when connected to Kies.
Have I totally ruined my phones chances of downloading any official firmware in the furture now? And how can I correct the display of my carrier? I'm guessing I will have to find a stock ROM from somewhere and re-install. But doesn't that do something to a ROM install counter someware on the phone?
Thank you in advance.

You are fine. Nothing has gone wrong. Use the FUS and get the stock firmware for you phone. Flash it via ODIN... Read the above few posts.
For your Flash counter and Bin counter, You can reset it back to zero. Look for Triangle.apk . TO use that you need to have a rooted device. Super user permissions... so run Triangle while you have rooted device? If not then root it to reset the bin or flash counter ( If you want) or just flash back the stock Fware..
No you havent ruined you phone. You can download all official firmwares. Just wait for the offical ICS for your region.
Hi,
Thanks for the quick reply. So just to clarify... If I re-install the stock firmware there will be no need to root the device and install the program that resets the counters?
Also, I've noticed that Virgin Mobile UK isn't listed under my territory?
Thanks again.

From memory the only CSC that has Virgin UK is the CPW one Carphone Warehouse . Flash that or enter network settings manually .

hi can someone close this thread issue has been sorted flashed ee stock rom and got imei back lol
thanks though
wait a minute thats not a good sign, So your saying that you lost your Imei and that QCN backup did not work?
The only thing that worked was flashing a stock rom back... this is not in the guide lol HMMmmmmm
I am just thinking why that QPST tool would not work when it should of or shouldnt it, did you use it correctly??? Can you try do the same thing as you did before and see if it you are able to restore it over your imei now? If it works now then maybe it wont work if theres no IMEI when thats the time we really need it to work.....Maybe Lyriquidperfection can comment?
ChwadKs can you try that QPST tool again and do EXACTLY what you did when you lost your imei. If it doesnt work AGAIN then thats a good sign for us as then it must be something wrong on your end or Hopefully you did it wrong which is why it didnt work. But if you do the exact same thing again but this time it works, then it may be a bad sign for us

Messing up partitions can cause adverse effects like phone not being detected in QPST. Don't worry backups do work.

Don't get too excited about ROMS. It's not just partition locations to think about but the hardware differences such as the extra ram and the Qualcomm modem.

Try looking at the RIL. I9300 uses the Samsung RIL but the I9305 uses the Qualcomm RIL. So you will need to alter the Rom to reflect this and you will get baseband back!

hey guys,
sorry to hijack the thread. I have a i9300 with the exynos processor so all the qualcomm leg works to restore the imei are a no go for me.
Is there a way I could fix it? (imei unknown)
I did the same. Thinking I was being smart and not looking into it properly flashed with i9300 and not i9305 and now I have no IMEI. Searched everywhere and cant find a solution. If any one can help out with a solution, I would greatly appreciate it.
I have re-flashed several times, back to original and back to root and still null IMEI.

Perhaps go and read the sticky guides over in general first, before you do anymore damage?
Unless you can afford to throw it away and buy a new one you should make sure you understand and double check everything before flashing files to your phone.
