First thing first, was it working before? Where did you buy it from. Carriers have start blocking phones that are reported stolen or have balance in the account.
What does it say in settings/about phone/status?
Does that number match the one on the back of the phone under the battery?
Could you please explain what you did to get to this point?
Flashed bad modem?
Deleted /efs folder or contents?
Remote unlock error?

It was working before and its not a carrier block as it does not recognize the sim at all to begin with....

I am not too sure.. i got the phone from a friend who has messed it up...
He said he flashed the bell upgrade from Gb to ICS and this happened.....
I doubt it .... anyhow... couple of other things
the function *#06# shows a null/nunll
*#9090# - shows nothing
*#2263# - shows nothing in service menu
Also, *2767*3855# system format doesnt work either....
Rom is working fine... wireless and internet are all functional....
If i go to adb... i can see the efs folder and other partitions...
Well yeah, the efs folder will be there, is just generated a new one, with a generic imei.
As i said earlier, mobiletechvidoes can fix it, but since everything is working perfectly, and you live in Canada, might wanna just not worry about it?
I read the ota Canada ics update had a bad install script. Just get the zip file and flash that.
too late for that, the "damage" has been done, and he is already running it, flashing the zip won't help now.

So any way i can revive the phone back to life?
Had this happen to me a few times on my sgs1.
Only thing that fixed it was flashing older stock rom through Odin. You can try samfirmware to get it or there is a complete set of stock files here in the forum as well.
Good luck.

I suggest that you Private Message the user.
I'm sure he will provide the answer ...
And I hope he posts here as well, as it would help others like yourself ....g
I'm not sure if this would help at all but it might be worth a shot.It creates TEST IMEI's and other stuff through ADB .Maybe it can even retrieve your actual IMEI somehow? Post back in this thread if anything comes of it so other people with problems can follow .

Here's my fix
I had the same problem with IMEI showing null/null....this happened after I flashed new radio band to get 4g on Tmobile for my AT&T Galaxy note. It appears that I had flashed a zip file for new radio that messes up the IMEI number. I have heard that others have just simply re-flashed their Note using other custom roms that has it's own radio band and IMEI number reappears. I simply used Samsung Kies to force most current factory rom into my Note (search how to do that) and it added factory setting to my Note...including all the AT&T stuff but it did unroot my phone....but it fixed the problem and I got my IMEI back....PM me if you have any questions.
To get to download mode when hooked up to Kies: hold down volume down and power at the same time until download mode comes up. And push volume up button once download screen comes up. Hook the phone up to Samsung Kies and click "Tools" and click "Firmware upgrade and initialization".....enter model using caps "SGH-I717" and enter ok....and enter serial number...using caps....and sit tight and wait...
IMEI NULL

Hello everyone...
I bricked my galaxy S2 HD LTE (SHV-E120L) when I wanted to flash the TeamLeader 1.3 ROM. I managed to have it unbricked, but now I have a modem problem.
The phone is stuck in flightmode, and impossible to disable it.
What do you think I should do now?
Thanks,
Mark
What did you do specifically that blocked it in the first place, aside from trying to install the rom, is that specific rom not compatible with the S2 HD LTE?
I would say reflash a STABLE rom or try flashing a MODEM and see what that does for you, unless you're not sure why it got bricked in the first instance, or you're confident enough that if anything went wrong you can bring it back again
Did you check for your imei number in settings?

Almost got a similar problem here...
phone got struck in flight mode or no mobile network is detected... i dialled in the dialer to make it show the IMEI no... it said IMEI:____________ well nothing
Info: i am on my stock ROM, not rooted nothing... 2.3.6
i uninstalled norton internet security, that's where this problem started... (it actually asked me whether i wanted to renew the norton software, since my 60 days license is got over...)
Thanks in advance!!

I got the EL bricked because I wanted to flash the TeamLeader ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1468998) with Odin. In that process something must have gone wrong because I had an error. And then I made the capital mistake of rebooting the phone. Since then it was bricked.
Is the MODEM part of the TeamLeader ROM or where can I find an adequate modem to flash?
Also, I didn't make a backup of the original efs directory. Stupid, I know.

I didn't make a backup of the efs directory, so the original IMEI is lost I'm afraid.
Hey guys, I'm in desperate need of some assistance here.
I have an international Galaxy S3 i9300, rooted and with CWM.
I flashed Criskelos XXDLH8 ROM yesterday, and I followed the instructions to the dot.
The flash seemed to be problem free.
However, once the phone booted and i was on the new ROM, i tried to make a call, but I kept getting an error message saying "not registered on network".
I instantly freaked out, and wiped my phone+cache, and flashed stock Samsung ICS (XAALE8) via Odin.
The phone booted normally into the stock ICS. But instead of seeing signal bars on the status bar, all I can see now is just a circle with a line through it . :crying:
I did some research on the net, and didn't really find anything to help me, which is why I'm here, seeking ANY help from you guys.
I'm freaked out guys! Any assistance would be SO appreciated! thank you!
don't panic
go settings >wireless and networks more settings > access point names
make sure you have something in there
mine says Vodacom ( internet)
look up apn for your area.
otherwise you can try flashing a different modem for your region or even try another region from here

I have no idea whats wrong with my S3

sorry seems like you've tried all my ideas.

Are you sure the firmware is suitable for your model for your phone's factory? There are at least three regions of producing Galaxy S3 International version. Some final product made in Vietnam and Korea has a lot of problems and need to be changed to the board made in China due to software problem. You should try using the "Firmware Upgrade And Initialization" in the "Tools" in the Samsung KIES 2.5 because it will download the latest official firmware according to your model and serial number and it will wipe your phone at the same time.

I tried to repair using the firmware update and initialization, but I could not find exactly where it is. I could reach a pop-up window saying that if my phone had a problem it would be listed in this window... Not sure if I am doing it correctly.
Do you have any tutorial link/post where I can find the proper instructions for it? I am familiar with odin, but not kies...

You can find this function in your Samsung KIES 2.5 which is the software to be installed in your computer. Then you will see the top bar, one of them is Tools and you will find the function in the Tools menu.

It sounds very much like a locked phone that was unlocked in a suboptimal way
Unless you have the original EFS (on which you might try to do a cleaner unlock) you will be "condemned" to always need a patched modem.
The short story is that network locking is done in a protected/checksumed database in the EFS partition and some older unlocks were not even attempting to keep the database "clean" - they were forcing a flag there but since there was some other check at a later time you need a special "patch" in the GSM modem code - that is located in a different partition and might be a little different from one country/carrier to another. Unfortunately the modem is (usually) updated with major ROM updates, so you have now lost that patch - but you can take a look below for a fix:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1918601
The bottom line is that (unless you restore original EFS and do a very clean unlock) you will always have to re-apply the modem after you program a new full ROM!
THE PROBLEM
I have a problem with my phone where I can't receive or send text messages or phone calls however i still have signal and can use mobile data. The problem occured from a rom flash coming from Kalgecin's CM10 builds to Chameleon 1.2.
ATTEMPTS AT SOLVING
I have tried taking the phone back to stock ICS rom and re rooting but still have the same problem.
I have also contacted my provider's, T-Mobile, they have told me that everything is fine with my settings.
I have used my sim in another phone and my sim works
I have used a friends sim in my phone and it experiences the same problem.
THOUGHTS
I have yet to try flashing the stock T-Mobile firmware through Odin. I have also read that similar problems have occured with people whose CSC code has changed, could this be possible?

Could it be possible that my IMEI code has been blocked?

Hi,
I purchased a I9100 secondhand online, the previous owner tried unlocking it and corrupt the EFS and it was not recognizing the SIM when I got it.
So I flashed I9100XWKK5 and have run the repair tool on play store and tried deleting EFS manually (after backing up) also run EFS Pro but no luck in putting my IMEI back on.
I have come across this tool unlocksamsungonline.nl/unlock-samsung-I9100, they claim to be-able to fix the IMEI, before I buy the login has anyone tried this before and does it work?
TIA

Users have mixed results when repairing /restoring the EFS folder. You can search and I mean thoroughly search every folder on the phone for a backup of the folder. Previous owner may have rooted the phone and many custom Roms and kennels backup the EFS folder as part of the installation process.
All the best

I have searched through the phone and cannot see any sign of a backup of any sort, any other ideas? or should I go and try this software from unlocksamsungonline.pl
TIA
No backup means you have 3 options:-
1) Service centre/authorised repairer.
2) Local mobile repair shops (you may find one who is capable of doing the things Odia/service centre can do).
3) Contact Odia by PM & wait patiently for a response (which means no sending him 'reminders' - if you do, he'll quite rightly ignore you. He isn't your servant). He may be able to recover your IMEI (for a small 'donation'). But on the other hand, I'm not even sure if he still does this kind of thing (he used to). I cannot stress the 'send him 1 PM & wait' enough. You may think this is urgent, he won't. So if you do go down this path, respect that.
SHW M250 no signal after flashing to I9100 ROM
I flashed my SHW-M250s with I9100 4.0.4 ROM, everything was working good for about 2 months,
suddenly my IMEI changed to 0049 fake IMEI and I lost signal on SKTEL.
I tried to reflash with SHW-M250S after that my IMEI is ok but still no signal and an unknown text appear on the home screen whenever I flash with SHW-M250S ROM, (SCREENSHOT ATTACHED). also I tried different ROMS of SHW M250S and still same problem.
whenever I flash to I9100 my IMEI changes to 0049 fake imei,, and when I flash to SHW-M250s no signal and an unknown text but the IMEI changes to original.
I tried to insert different network SIM with SHW-M250 S ROM, it was working, but still that annoying text on home screen is there.
Also I tried everything on this Forum , try to repair EFS folder etc but no luck.
Do anyone has the idea...?
Please reply to me.
You're mixing thing up here, try backing up your EFS folder while on m250s, make sure you back it up with 2 or 3 app. (ktool and simlar).
Keep flashing your devices ROM till you get all networks going and stick to the cell's original region.
Now, once on I9100, start with GB ROMs.
And then some, try sii_repair from play store and give it a shot at restoring those previous back ups with the same tools.
Try to keep them ROMs apart till you solve one of the two issues.

Thanks for your reply Bro.
I tried everything you mentioned but still no luck.
Is it possible that SKTEL has blocked my IMEI on their network.
While I still can access other networks..?
Check you IMEI status online.
Don't think so tho, if it would be blacklisted then you wouldn't be able to use any nerwork.
Are you using the same partition lay out for m250s & I9100?

I am using diffrent PIT files for each I9100 and M250s.
On the online status it shows an old model of Samsung, not the SHW-M250s while it says IMEI is ok.
Alright, when in "I9100 mode" flash from GB to JB (thru ICS 4.0.3 and 4.0.4).
We need to see if you get your IMEI right at some point on those ROMs.
Flash CM 10.1 to see if that helps.
You're not having any trouble with m250s ROMs right?

Hi,
I purchased a I9100 secondhand online, the previous owner tried unlocking it and corrupt the EFS and it was not recognizing the SIM when I got it.
So I flashed I9100XWKK5 and have run the repair tool on play store and tried deleting EFS manually (after backing up) also run EFS Pro but no luck in putting my IMEI back on.
I have come across this tool unlocksamsungonline.nl/unlock-samsung-I9100, they claim to be-able to fix the IMEI, before I buy the login has anyone tried this before and does it work?
TIA

Can you give me the original CSC, Phone, PDA, Bootloader link of SHW-M250s, and I am having problem in SHW -250s as I attached the screen shot. some unwanted text appear on the home screen, which says CSC: Unknown, PDA version etc.
And now:
My phone is not starting in SHW-,250S after flashing one of the I9100 ROM , CSC, MODEM from sammobile
I've got no idea about your device's model.
Check the thread posted in the general forum, they've got a site in which you can download ROMs and all.

Hello I have a big problem, after I installed a new and updated ROM my phone won't work on any carrier, so here's what happened:
1.I had the ROM FoxHound_Sniper_Wolf_LPD_ICS_GSII_By_SnakeS and it worked great until the GPS started failing so I decided it was time for a change (until now the phone was working flawlessly with carriers and such)
2.I first tried to install the ROM ParanoidAndroid 3+ ROM Galaxy S2 but I forgot to do a wipe first and then I wiped the phone and re-installed the ROM and it still didn't work.
3.I installed WanamLite Clean & Fast JB 4.1.2 v14.3 without errors until I tried to turn on data networking (I had my APN setup by then) and it didn't turn on so I tried calling and this would pop up:"Not registered on network".
4.I try to fix the problem by going to network providers and selecting my network provider and it said: "Unable to connect, try later", so I try selecting the automatic setting and it gave me the same error, so I kept pressing the select automatically setting until it said: "Registered on network" so I try to call again and still gives me the same error "Not registered on network".
5.I try to go back to my old ROM (FoxHound_Sniper_Wolf_LPD_ICS_GSII_By_SnakeS) and it still gave me the error "Not registered on network".
6.I also tried some other ROMs: RR_JB_V3.1.3_AOKP_4.2.1_I9100 and RootBox-JB-i9100-V4.1 and the phone still won't work.
7.I go back to the WanamLite Clean & Fast JB 4.1.2 but this time it's v14.6
PS:it says "emergency calls only" in the drop down menu
info:
county: Israel
carrier: Golan Telecom
phone status: I got it unlocked from the company Cellcom
Network mode: GSM/CDMA (Auto mode)
ROM: WanamLite Clean & Fast JB 4.1.2
Galaxy sII GT-1900T
SSN:-I900TGSMH
Can anyone help me with this please?

Go to phone settings and then about phone then phone status look down that bit you will see imei. Is it 0000000? Galaxynoob lol what a name.

No thank you. Is it second hand phone? How long have you had it? Seems like imei is ok unless its blocked. So you have flashed modem it had before you flashed roms yes? Have you tried going bk to stock firmware?

since the beginning of 2012 but it used to work fine and I've been installing a lot of roms on it
Go to google and check imei isn't blocked mate. Also delete apn and restore them first.

Hey man I tried this fix: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17587351
and when I did step 3 it was fixed but now I have the generic imei (004999010640000)
all you had to do was checking your IMEI online to see if it was blocked listed.
You now ended up with a generic IMEI.
You followed the first 3 steps right?
Please tell me you backed up the EFS folder.
