Hi all,
i was wondering if anyone could give me a hand after messing up my phone a bit.
after trying to upgrade my phone to firmware 4.0.1 it would no longer make phone calls, so i downgraded the firmware to 2.3.5 to see if this helped but it is still the same, it currently says on service state: out of service, anyone had this problem?
ive tried reloading different firmware versions but with no result.
any help would be greatly appreciated

Did you try a factory reset? Sounds like you may of bricked your phone.
What does it say your IMEI number is? Should be under settings>about phone>status.

Hi All,
I got the SGSII GT-I9100 running LRv6.1 on the VHA network.
(2.3.4, I9100XXKH3, [email protected]#20)
usually underclocked to 1Ghz.
For some reason, it wont show caller ID and all incoming calls appear as no numbers/private
I know for sure that those numbers aren't private numbers either.
I've tried reflashing the original ROMs for the I9100T on VHA (got the ROMS off XDA, flash them through ODIN) and I just kept getting bootloop.
I've hard reset the phone and everything...only thing that I haven't done is get a new SIM card, but I'm not sure how that is going to help me at all.
What I want is for my phone to start showing numbers again..
please help me - if anyone else can think of that might help would be much appreciated.
All,
I blew it while trying to flash my Sprint-based Samsung Galaxy SII. In any case, right now, I'm not getting a carrier (No Service) as it appears the phone doesn't know my MIED? Also, my "home" and "menu" buttons don't work while the phone is booted (although I can get into diagnostic modes, etc., so they do work in the strictest sense). It also appears that my wireless isn't working..
I've tried to do a factory wipe/reset, but it didn't solve these problems.
Here are the specifics from Settings->Phone Info
Model number: SPH-D710
Android Version - 2.3.4
Baseband version - unknown
Kernel version - 2.6.35.7.I9100XWKJ3-CL647431
Build Number - GINGERBREAD.EG39
Hardware version - Unknown
Is there any way I can just slam the stock Sprint kernel back on here to get this back to some sort of a baseline. Also, I guess there's the MEID issue.. I think I can get that from Sprint or on the phone, right?
Thanks in advance..
Maybe start searching for threads about losing your EFS folder??
Hope this helps
I didn't find anything specific to Sprint... maybe it doesn't matter? I dunno. I'd appreciate a little more guidance if possible.
When I try to go into About phone->Status to see this stuff, I get "The process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly."
Hi, I'm no expert, when I saw that your phone could not find the SIM my first thought was that you had lost your EFS folder (which is really BAD), however on looking again at your first post I see it says baseband unknown - maybe you need to reflash the modem?
Sprint doesn't use SIM? So I think this might not (?) be an issue.
I will begin to look for how to reflash the modem--if you know of a thread that is better than another for this, I would appreciate it if you could post it here. Thank you, in advance.
Yeh, sorry should have typed carrier rather than SIM.
AFAIK to flash a modem with Odin, you can use the firmware for your phone selecting only 'Phone' .
You would probably be safer to search first or you could reflash your firmware and take your phone back to baseline as you put it.
I can't find a Sprint baseline ROM, could/should I try this one?:

There is a site called www.sammobile.com which used to be www.Samifirmware.com it was always a good source of up to date firmwares.
Unfortunately I am at work and we only have IE6 (I know), so I can't search the site for you.
Hi everyone,
As i wrote before on xda (my topic), i disrupted my device's touchscreen while doing TriangleAway process. Then i tried many ways to recover but i convinced that it's not possible to fix it without changing the touchscreen parts. I left my device to warranty and they fixed in 15 mins. and it works great as before.
But now, i have another issue. While i was trying to recover my touchscreen i flashed official firmwares (downladed from sammobile) and rooted several times. And i disturpted device's imei somehow. I tried all methods which r given on xda but they didn't work unfortunately. I I have a last option, gonna leave my device to warranty again but don't know they gonna fix it under warranty or not. What do u suggest me to tell them? I mean, they gonna ask me how that happened but i don't wanna say i flashed firmware with odin cos i guess it ruins my device's warranty.
I need to learn, is that possible to lost imei while doing update with Kies or OTA? Or is it possible to happen with any legal application on an unrooted device? I need an acceptable reason to fix my device under warranty. Does anybody have any suggesion?
Thanks in advance.
I think you better not getting official firmware on other websites. You should use the "Firmware Upgrade And Initialization" in the "Tools" of Samsung KIES 2.5. It is totally original and it will download the latest firmware according to your model and serial number.
I tried using this function on my SHV-E210S and the IMEI was not lost but I don't know if there will be any problem on SHV-E210K.
At the same time, do you know how to make SIP registrations on SHV-E210S/SHV-E210K/SHV-E210L? I need that for putting the phone on LTE network and able to receive calls

It seems that it is a must for you to lose the warranty because the IMEI cannot be lost if the phone is unrooted or coneect to the computer with USB debugging mode. However, how come you receive the warranty as I see your location is not Korea?

In future before creating topics use the search button. We have MANY topics about loss of IMEI etc. Been spoof fed is not a good way to learn.
Hello All,
I am from Pakistan, and I have a Galaxy S3 I9300. I have upgraded it to 4.3 JB recently. I have flashed XXUGNA8 4.3 firmware for Pakistan, downloaded from sammobile. Everything works fine but I cannot make any calls. It says "not registered on network". However when I call the number from another phone, it rings but s3 doesn't receive any call.
I have tried many fixes given on the internet to no use. My IMEI is not corrupted. I have the same IMEI on the back under the battery as in the phone itself.
Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks.
Problem has been solved by flashing XXUGMK6 firmware and the patched kernel and modem given here.
