best thing you can do is flash stock 407. so that all your low level files are in sync and then do a factory reset and let it boot a few times before you start tweaking

sorry for being not specific but I wanna know what is "send it for RMA"; as I already got the original ROM and nothing change; still have the same problem
Could you please tell me what to do?
RMA = http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Return_merchandise_authorization aka send it back where you bought it
If you have original ROM and no Yellow Triangle or increased custom counter (if yes use TriangleAway app), so they can't know you were messing with your phone then you can send it. Do wipe cache/data and factory reset.
Hi ive just got message from my friend asking if i could help his friend with takeing back to life his galaxy s2.
As i know he tried to remove simlock, but after this he brick his phone. I know that is hard to know what is wrong from this small description, but i know that he "broke his galaxy s2"
He is getting on phone:
Step 1
error not saved
You have busybox problem, fix it or if you have plugged your phone on ypur computer, unplug it

Or similar. Im third, so there can be some mistakes.
Its sth with busybox, but i dont know what.
Maybe we need only to install busybox or reflash soft? Or its permanent and only service helps?

Why dont you reflash firmware? A fresh install?
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
unfortunately you have given little and vague information.
What rom is he running ?
Can he getinto recovery or download mode ?
If he can get into one of these 2 modes, then a simple reflash may solve the problem.
If he cannot get into these modes, then you may need to send it in for repair.
He didn't mess with the EFS folder, did he?

I dont know to much too.
He is using stock ics firmware as "normal" user.
And u gave me an answer that firmware reflash can hel. Thanks. We will try it
EDIT: Ok friends friend dont want to wait and gave device to service paying 60pln (~15€, ~20$) for reflash and it helped.

Spoon feeding is not allowed here.
If you're a Android n00b and want to know how to root or flash custom or stock roms I suggest you do some reading/research. We have plenty of Q&A and guides that cover this.
Asking "how do I root" is a silly question to ask because its already been asked and answered so just look/read.
If you lost somehow your IMEI number(0 under *#06#), rooting the device won't help.
First, before any movement, backup your data and then restore defaults. Maybe it's some king of bug?
Settings->backup &restore -> restore defaults, erase memory.

yea i did type *#06# but imei is not showing up . its empty!! its not a bug. its a corruption in the imei ... i have no idea what to do now
First, relax. Its just a phone.
If the phone is still under warrenty - get it replaced/fixed for free where you bought it from.
If not, try to recover the iemi like it's explained here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1264021

well i checked out the link . but i dont get the cmd, adb shell part .. the whole 8th point i dont get it ???.
If you don't get it, there isn't anything further anyone here can do to help you. Send it to a Samsung service centre/authorised repairer, or ask local mobile repair shops. This is not something you're going to fix yourself.

hmmm.. well i went to them . they asked me to change the motherboard whith a total cost of 800 dhs.. which my parents wont give
CMD is command line - like MSDOS or Linux terminal. ADB is not something that you'll get by asking questions and getting answers, you need to read about it and understand it. It will take you a couple of days to figure it out.
I'd try going to several different phone shops/labs. Hopefully they will diagnose the problem without replacing the entire PCB. It's worth a shot.
If every shop says that you must replace the board, ask around. Maybe one of your friends knows someone who is able to fix this.
From what you described it seems like water damage or other hardware fault.

If you want anyone to -try to- help you get your phone back you should at least consider searching for easy questions.
Check what ROM you are on and perform a search at xda or google (or both).
Now, are you sure warranty is voided? if it was 2 years you still got time....If you root your devices, warranty will be off the table for you.
Seat back and get you sh*t together, take a long breath and then report back to see what's up.

Hi all,
I have exactly the same issue on my Galaxy S2 on Vodaphone in the UK. It's out of warranty and not rooted. I did an IOS upgrade to ICS v4.0.3 and at that point it shows no signal and the IMEI no. is blank after dialing *#06#. Somehow it has lost/corrupted the IMEI no. during the upgrade.
Is the only way to recover the IMEI no. to root the phone? Or is there another method?
Thanks all!
An iOS upgrade ? No wonder you borked your IMEI
Go to Samfirmware, find the latest stock rom for your carrier/country. Flash it with Odin. How ? Search/read/learn. If you're lucky, yours is a case where the IMEI disappearing is a transient thing & doing a 'good' flash of stock (as opposed to the update that obviously barfed in some way - I presume you're talking about an OTA update as opposed to something you did manually ?) might well fix the problem. We've seen a number of similar problems on here lately.
If you're unlucky, you're SOOL & it ain't coming back. Rooting it isn't going to magically fix it unless you have an EFS backup, which you won't have if you're someone who's never rooted their phone. Take it to a local mobile repair shop, they may be able to help. A Samsung service centre/authorised repairer will also fix it for you regardless of the warranty status, they'll just charge you more than a local mobile shop who isn't an authorised Samsung repairer will, likely.
Thank you for your response! I took the S2 to a phone repair shop, the guy tried flashing it back to stock IOS but this failed. He ended up replacing the motherboard, all fine now. Would like to find out the safest way to upgrade the IOS to Jelly Bean now, it's currently running Gingerbread v2.3.3. Any advice appreciated, in the meantime will do some reading up.
Thanks all, great forum!

Okay i might be able to help you .but tell me your model number ......
if its GT-I9100 then you can update easily ,but if its gt-i9100G or smoething else,im nt sure i cn help .. u might have to do some readings ..
The model is GT-I9100, I managed to successfully upgrade the IOS to 4.1.2 using Kies. Perhaps I should've done that first time around instead of selecting Settings-About Device-Software Update over Wifi - which resulted in the phone losing it's IMEI no.
Many thanks for the replies!
okay dude .. enjoy your JB ...
My IMEI was 353************** and changed to 0499901********. So I am not able to make any phone calls right now.
I have no idea how it happened. I am flashing ROMS for 8 months. I have no EFS backup because i didn't know how much important it was [I AM REALLY STUPID ]
I know 049999**** is a test imei. In every forum there is a solution for SGS / SGSII. There are things for SGS3 but threads are very old like 5-6 months ago and they don't work...
I've tried installing softwares called NsPro or Samsung Tools. But I know they need some special stuffs and they are not free..
I've tried stock roms, modified Roms,kernels,modems after this happened.(Yesterday i was on 4.2.2 now 4.0.4)
So i gave up
Is there any suggestions? Any help way ? Because if I can't find any solution until tomorrow, I'll give the phone to technical service and i don't like it.
Last time I gave my phone to the service it took 25 days and they changed the motherboard with new IMEI (Nokia C7)
And the most important question : Can I update my phone if technical service fixes it? Android 4.2.2 original firmware or 4.3 , 5.0 in the future?
Sorry for bad English.I live in Turkey,Istanbul if there is anyone who can contact me.
Thanks!

If you have no backup there is nothing you can do. Return to stock. If still an issue, needs sending for repair.

Good your issue was resolved. It is always bettwe to keep a back up of efs folder. nv_data_bin would have corrupted which restored on another flash of ROM and you are lucky. Most of the time flashing an unsuitable kernel would lead to this problem.
