Hi Guy,
Yesterday I unlocked my phone in hopes of placing it to another carrier I have at&t. That was successful. I then flashed the modem in hope to get Tmobile 4g working on my phone. But it was giving me issues. I was running Rooted Stock ICS at the time. After doing some reading amount the threads, I've concluded that I probably needed to get a ROM(?) in order for this to work? So I flashed ParaniodAndroids JB on it. Well my new problem is, that I lost the baseband and my IMEI number...and I have no way of getting it back. I did write it down. So I know what my number is, but is there any way to get it back? At this point, I'm ready to give up. I've spent hours looking for info on how to fix this issue. I actually wish I was back to my ICS now. Right now my phone is useless without any signal.
So does this mean that I have a bricked phone? Please let me know if there's anything I can do to salvage my phone.
Thank you.
It was on a Vibrant 4G firmware CM9. Lost IMEI, the field is empty.
Put the stock firmware and IMEI came back from somewhere. I was surprised!
Another story, Vibrant t959 without IMEI fell into my hands. What should I do? As a result, the system folder EFS copied from another of the same phone.
IMEI was not a native, the other 00044400111 started with something like this. But the phone rang and worked!

Hmm? This is my original thread. I'm not the author of the other. Sorry for the bad grammar but I was up all night trying to fix my phone. I am at work and still reading up on how to get this fixed or restored. Any help will be appreciated. I have PM'ed a couple of people hoping for some assistance. I hope they get back to me, but if not, I guess I will keep reading.
Right now, I am aware of two choices.
#1. Get Samsung Kies to factory reset my phone in hopes of restoring my IMEI number and basebands. [But what if Kies doesn't recognize my phone?]
#2. I bricked it and can't do anything about it. [I really hope that's not the case]

I have scoured the forums and google. Im pretty good at figuring these things out. Not sure if im experiencing a factory mouse issue or not. No pics in the threads.
Issue: System info window keeps popping up in menu.(check img)
Occured: After flashing a stock Att md5 from liquid smooth ROM
Attempts:
-Reflashed several stock variations of the md5 through odin.
-installed terminal emulator and tried the typical "factory mode" that is pointed to Verizon users. Entering "echo -No...."
-Initiated self doubt then banged head on wall.
-ReReReFlashed stock ATT with injected root (downloaded from XDA thread)
Interesting points: All my roms and stock md5's have been downloaded from XDA. Im 100% sure im using the correct version. I noticed in attempting to finally sign up for XDA I was initially blocked from doing so because "in attempts to block spam, Verizon IPs are blocked" That's Weird because I'm an ATT user and was on my 4g network.

ha I just typed the whole darn thing in there and it worked fine. sweet deal. I was really puzzled!
I've bought this Coolpad 7295 phone for less than three days from China.
It seems that I couldn't flash my phone back to the state where I could get the service for calling the first day.
After the second rom flashing with my flash tool. I kind of formated the Yl-parames and NVRAM section of the phone.
I don't know these two mean! Could someone explain how they work? Are they related to the hardware or the motherboard of the phone?
After the wrong formatting action, my phone could not make any calls. (But everything works, and network works also. And later I flashed many roms, all of them work, just no signal)
So the third picture shows that this device has a different partition compared to the most smartphones in the hardware called "YL-parames".
My friend who is good at making custom roms in Taiwan said I might accidentally screw up with the hardware partition.
I just want to know with this problem appearing, is there any other way that I could get my signal back?
I've tried several methods like rewriting IMEIs, reinstalling the official roms, but none of them work.
Or should I just send it back to the dealer to get it fixed? (I'm doing it right now...)
Just want to know in case the phone is back, how should I operate this flashing tool because I'm really a tech-savy
1) The first picture represents what i chose for the outcome of no signals later on.
2) The next one is its interface
3) The next one is the official flashing tool, but I still can not flash the CPB provided by the official since my hardware seems to be broken.

I would really like somebody to develop the custom rom in the English version for this device, this device is pretty good!
Or is there anybody using this phone as well? It's nice to have someone to exchange info with!!
Hey guys,
I'd a Galaxy s3 before changing to an M8 this year, the s3 was rooted and had Lightening Rom (I think) when I changed phone I gave the s3 to my sister and about 2-3 weeks later she complained that it wouldn't turn on, I fixed this by using Odin but the IMEI changed to the generic 0049, now I know there's a million threads about that but that's not the problem, I never reset the binary or anything on the phone but when I gave it back to her it would turn on just no signal, she decided to hand the phone into a "professional", I don't know what the guy did hence why I'm posting but is this bricked? It will go into download mode and can be recognised but cannot receive anything.
TL;DR - Phone had IMEI problem (0049) was sent to repair place and came back with this on the screen it will go into download mode and can be recognised but cannot receive anything

I would take it back. When you say it can not receive anything you mean Odin fails?
Can you get into recovery?
I have a Samsung Galaxy S3, which I have root and unlocked. Its a AT&T SGH-I747

Phone has been working a treat for sometime and I settled on the "StockMod Rom", see below:
What I didn't know was that the S3 has an issue where the it stops registering the SIM on the network. Note that it did show the correct IMEI number. The first time this happened I just turned it off/on a dozen times and reset the SIM. But the second time this didn't work. So I spend about 10 hours trying to fix it and I only made it worse. One of the options was to reload the modem files which I did from the link below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1831898
and that made things worse. Now I have no network at all, see screen shot:
Also I note that the above status is showing the phone as model SGH-T999, which is the T-Mobile version. So thats obviously a problem.
Can anyone guide me through how to recover my phone. This would be hugely appreciated as working with my old rooted and rom'd motorola MB860 is tiresome.
Many thanks Darrin.

Read this: [REF] IMEI / EFS - Know this stuff (i9300) - including "no network"
Hi guys, I have a problem with my S3, it keeps asking me to insert sim card, i tried different sim cards, none worked, tried changing the whole card reader/slot with a brand new one, but it didn't fix the problem.
everything started approximately a month ago, i tried rooting the phone after applying the 4.3 update but i missed up and almost completely killed the phone, after allot of effort I managed to bring it back to life and re-installed the firmware update, but the phone started giving me the "Not registered on network" error, and the IMEI changed to that 0049 thing, then it started telling me to insert sim card (at first it was just saying "emergency calls only").
the thing is, before all this happens I had no idea how important it is to backup before applying anything with odin, so I have no EFS backup, the IMEI is apparently fixable but this "insert sim card" thing is what i have no idea how to fix, since the last hope was changing the slot and it didn't help either.
I tried going through other posts but none of them had an answer.
so, any ideas what could be the cause? and how to fix it?
PS: the signals bar is still moving, i mean when i'm somewhere with no signal at all it becomes that circle that indicated no signal, and i'm where signal is strong it goes all the way up to 4 bars, time as well is still accurate, done a downgrade to Android 4.2.2 to see if it could change anything, still same problem, now I upgraded again to 4.3 and am hoping for an answer to what could've been the cause of the problem and how to fix it
oh and one more thing, i have a question, does patching the wrong Kernel and Modem have any relationship to this problem? when it was telling me "Not registered on network", one of the things i tried was patching a Modem, that's actually what was shared the most through forums, and I remember reading that it does no harm but it can help fixing the problem even if it's not on the same exact firmware. the firmware I have is XXUGNA7 and the ones i patched were for XXUGMK6, both are android 4.3 (HOPEFULLY )
