Hi there and welcome to the forum.
Please create a more informative title next time, so people know what it is that you need help with.
I am in the same boat as you only with my GS3 LTE version. If you still have the box to get the IMEI from or look under the battery you might be able to restore your imei using an nv writer http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1804117
Try to do a full wipe then reflash the stock rom with odin.
Good luck!

No sim, imei

sim signal problem showing no service

My czn galaxy s2 is working perfectly has xwlpd 4.03 except he detects sim but shows no service for sim...
plzzz help me...
i will be very thankful to u.........
Hi!
Since you are new here, it might be the best time for you to read the forum rules just to get you informed.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/announcement.php?a=81 check it out!
1. try inserting your sim in another phone, if you find a signal in the other phone, then there might be something wrong with the s2..
if there is still no signal, then it is a network related problem and call your network operator
2. if you find a signal in the other phone and not in your s2, then you must flash a modem..
DEFINITION:
*Modem/Radio/Baseband is all the same thing and can be seen by going to Settings - About Phone - Baseband. It's basically a driver which receives and sends Mobile Network signals as well as handling switching between GPRS, 3G, HSDPA etc....... (but not WiFi connection, that and switchover between Mobile Network and WiFi is handled by the kernel). Reasoning as to why Modem has no influence on WiFi can be found in this post by Entropy - http://<b>http://forum.xda-developer...count=6556</b>
USAGE:
*There is no one "Best" modem for everybody. Unfortunately you actually have to try to find the modem which works perfectly for you on performance, strength and battery drain levels. The good thing is that from my lengthy 8 month experience with Galaxy S2, I'm happy to report that there are a few modems that seem to perform well geographically for most users. These modems are KE7, KH3, KI3, KI4, KL1, LPS, NEKF2, NELP2 & NELP3.
COMPATIBILITY:
*Modems do not need to be matched up with firmware like it's done with ROMs and Kernels. For example, a KI4 modem can be used with a KL1 ROM and the other way round. The only thing you need to pay attention to is what model your SGS2 is. 9100 and 9100 modems are compatible across both models. However, 9100 model and US variants are not cross compatible since the devices are designed to work on different bands.
INSTALLATION:
*I will add a flashing guide to post number 5 soon, hence why it says "Work in progress.....". For the moment I suggest asking Mr. Google to do a search for you. Bottom line is, for CWM packaged modems you need to be rooted and have a working CWM recovery (flash the CWM modem zip within recovery). For .TAR packages, all you need to do is flash it while your device is in Download Mode and connected to ODIN. The .TAR file should be selected in the PHONE field. Don't touch anything else.

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.

No service/network after Root + Custom Rom Install - PLEASE HELP ME.

I have an S3 i9305 4g lte version, on orange network uk. I rooted the phone using CWM. Then installed the Panorama ROM, using the guide on here. And yes i have used the search function, followed pretty much every guide there is. Still no solution. Im beginning to think my phone will forever be caught up with this problem
on top of there being no service. The phone itself has started to randomly turn off, and also lags!
I regret rooting lol just wasn't meant to be.
Can anyone help me? Literally, I would be so grateful if someone can actually help me fix this problem. I basically just want my network service back, regardless of unrooting or not.
Thanks a million in advance!

Don't let one unsuitable ROM tarnish your experience Try flashing a different modem.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1740061
Also, if you're unhappy with the ROM, flash another one. Plenty of good roms out there.

Try different ones to see which one works best for you. Also search those threads for your network/region to see what other people are using.
Does your IMEI match the one under the battery?
Do you have an EFS backup?
Also, this is a section for the i9300

i think the problem is with the fact i dont have an efs folder, and that there is no back up either. There is no baseband number on the status, and also no imei is showing.
What do i do?

In the last thread, especially this:
Provide details - ALWAYS tell us exactly what happened if you are requesting help. Always describe in detail what is happening.
"Flashed my phone now it doesn't work" is useless information.
"I rooted my phone 3 months ago and flashed a custom ROM. I decided today to flash ROM X from recovery Y. I booted into recovery and flashed from my internal SD card. I rebooted the phone and it is not starting up. It is looping at the boot animation" is GOOD information. We need to know What, when, how. We need to know if you followed a guide and which one (links where possible)

1, you can backup your efs, revert to stock, root, restore efs, and unroot.
2, now that you tell me your going to iOS i dont really want to help you...
