Hi,I have bought a galaxy s3 of ebay locked to orange.I rooted the firmware(Orange Stock rom) I had back then and it was successfull,I wanted to root so I could sim unlock the gs3 and put my 3 network sim in.I used the galaxSim Unlock,I put my 3 sim in and everything worked out fine.
Next I wanted to go and flash the Android Revolution Rom v16,I flashed it successfully and I put my 3 sim back in and I get this :1258.photobucket.com/albums/ii526/IATrAckxShoTz/unknown.png .If I put any sim in the gs3 that is all I get.The signal strength does move with all the sims I insert.I then inserted an 02 new pay as you go sim and I get my mobile internet and it shows 02-uk in about and the internet pops up but I have out of service.my eri is not available
I have tried many sims,I have factory reset,re-installed my rom and intalled other firmware and it still doesnt work.If I go onto the free version of GalaxSim off the android market it says I am partially unlocked,how do I lock again so I can unlock or just unlock it.
When I try to make a call I get error unregistered on network.I go to setting>More settings>mobile network>network operators I get a full list of networks,when I try to select one I get error plz try again later.
My imei isnt blocked because I still get interenet
Please help

I have no backup of my efs,shall I use odin3 and clear my efs?
If you used gsu and didn't format your internal memory, you have an efs backup in /sdcard/galaxsimunlock/efs_backup.tar.gz
Just use gsu to restore it.

I did not use gsu,I was stock rom,I have an efs backup but its the same one as I am running right now so theres no point.
This is what displays on your free version of GalaxSim

GSU = GalaxSim Unlock, sorry for not being clear
So, GSU makes a backup of your efs folder before unlocking your device. If something happened to your efs data, just click on "restore efs" and your stock efs will be back on your phone (and the lock with it of course), then clicking again on unlock will unlock your phone again, based on your stock efs folder.
If your efs has been tampered somehow, it will fix it. If you still have the problem, the issue lies elsewhere (you might want to flash a radio or full rom)

I made a gsu backup of the same 'corrupt' one I have now so it doesnt make any difference if you restore it.I have flashed to stock on the 3 network for the uk,thats where I am,I have also rooted,the problem definitely lies in the efs folder.I have flashed many roms including radios...nothing..still the same.
Shall I give you my efs file so you can fix it?
I have also tried http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18524176
still no luck
This is what I get on gsu pro version : i1258.photobucket.com/albums/ii526/IATrAckxShoTz/Screenshot_2012-11-22-17-22-32.png
and this is what I get on the free version: i1258.photobucket.com/albums/ii526/IATrAckxShoTz/Screenshot_2012-11-22-17-00-43.png
and a sim lock read error if I try unlocking it on voodoo Galaxy s III unlock

hi, recently i rooted my sgs3 , made a full backup using cwm but didnt backup my efs folder and flashed 4.2.2 PA rom which causes the phone to lose its imei and signal . instead of doing recovery procedures i tried to fix the problem by flashing other roms ( 4.2.2 leaked XXUFME7 , CM 10.2 , restored the backup and even tried the stock firmware ) and then tried many repair procedures and none of them worked!
1 - is there any way i can get my imei back ( like re-partition )
2 - any way i can extract my old efs folder from the backup
i am in pakistan so i cant send it to a trusted repair center because there arent any
If you did flash MG4 previously
if you fash MG4 before the problem, try to flash again MG4. But if you did not flash the MG4 ever on your phone, try not to because it changes the structure efs. if you flash MG4, will no longer be possible to flash in a previous firmware. But if flash MG4 in a unit that had been flash with this firmware, it will again play the efs and will get right back imei
The backup does not contain efs.

ive tried flashing mg4 , but it only brings up the 0049** generic imei not my original one and if i try modems before mg4 it says imei null/null
Listen up you require a service centre you flashed with no EFS backup end of story .
You can of course read the thousands of identical posts for further information .
corrupt imei/no signal >> i did not backup my EFS

Are you doing full flash via odin? Id do that. If still not - repair. Local phone repair shop should be able to fix
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 4
i did same thing ...only option you have is to send to samsung repair centre.....if its under warranty still???..Unless you know some one who can reflash the chip which contains all the firmware and efs files cause flashing through odin wont work as that only over writes the files....the phone simply needs to be reprogrammed from scratch...

how can i sort this problem. CSC:LL2 (XXX)
i've checked the csc on the phone and its O2U
I restored the phone via kies using firmware upgrade and initialization
that didn't help so i installed recovery-cwmtouch-6.0.3.2-GTI9300 via odin, factory reset phone, cleared cache, wiped delvik file then to make extra sure i went in and wiped everything one at a time, sd card ext sd card, preload ect... then used kies again to restore phone and still the same problem.
please don't just reply saying read all the other threads on the same subject.... i have.
many thanks
lee
Kies has decided your phone csc doesn't match the update.
I've never used kies so can't help solve problems with it, apart from recommend you uninstall it.
If your csc has really changed, I've read that the 4.3 update can cause this, then you can download the full rom for your country from sammobile. Check the md5 then flash using odin (remove kies first), factory reset from recovery and the csc will then be set.
CSC is pretty useless for most people, it just seems to complicate Samsung issues.
I've done everything you have recomended apart from removing kies first. I have downloaded every O2U rom from kies from 4.0.4 upto the latest 4.1.2 and I've backed up the efs file for every rom as I've updated via odin. I don't usually update via kies but I just wanted to try and get everything back to stock

Doing what I've suggested will put the phone to completely stock, apart from your flash counter which you've increased by flashing a custom recovery.
If you want to reset this as well then follow the guide in general forum, sticky threads.
The only definite way is for you to flash back your original saved rom .
Alternative would be under search Kies Emergency Recovery .

i've gone back to an O2U rom and i have managed to update to the latest version using ota update but kies is still showing the (xxx) problem
i've wiped the counter with triangle away and unrooted the phone so it is now totally stock.
Totally stock and correct registry entries ???.
Suggest you find the Kies forum some place on the web or try a Samsung forum .

one bit of info i forgot to add.
if i flash a new rom the imei and sn numbers stay correct but if i try and put the efs file back it doesn't work, but if i reset the imei number and sn number with my nspro box i can then install the efs file and it works.
I am hoping someone here is able to help me as my problem is doing my nut in.
Our puppy tried to taste my phone the other week so I had to replace the entire front screen ( glass and LCD ). The replacement phone had an issue where it wouldn't detect any sim cards at all ( I had no IMEI number, baseband or anything ). So i took my working motherboard ( I knew it was working as I could still ring it while it was in the old phone ) and replaced the mainboard in the replacement phone.
When I first put it together and turned it on everything came up as normal but somehow my IMEI had been corrupted. I dont know how but somehow I have managed to partially get it back.
When I installed my last ROM ( OMEGA V58 ) I created an EFS.tar back up which I kept on my SD card. This is it

I still have that sat there but no matter what I am unable to restore it. I have tried to copy it over from the SD card file by file, I have even tried to use EPS expert but I cant figure out how.
Could some one please please give me some clues or a point to a simple guide that I could use before I turn the oven onto gas mark 6 and stick my head in

Efs backups in .tar format can be restored with Odin,SGSIII EFS backup / Restore,Philz recovery and other tools are you sure that the file above is in .tar format because screenshot say's different.Also if you copy manually you have to set all the permissions of the files to the same as what is is currently in your phones efs folder.
I have a RAR file on my phones SD car that is called EFS.tar
I have tried to install it using Philz but it says it cant find it even though I have but it in the clockworkmods/backup directory. In case I have ballsed things up in the EFS directory where would I get a list of the permissions so I can send everything over manually and use ES explorer root to manually set the permissions.

Put the tar file in root of internal sdcard or memory card and select it from recovery (like when you install a ROM).
Yes that's the file I would try like @RazorMC said or just flash it with odin or try this >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/general/tool-backup-restore-efs-imei-sgsiii-t1901098 <<
I would probably backup your current efs ( even though it is corrupt) just in case anything goes wrong
It would have been better if OP had continued the discussion in the original thread.
It has a better chance of solutions since members can see the full history of the issue.

CM12 all go good but the phone stil not reconzied my sim card imei empty
after searching in some forums maybe lost my EFS (no backup done)
any one can help me solve the problem
I'm not sure if somebody already fund how to restore IMEI on the opx.
Try to go back on H2OS maybe your imei will be back.
Also you could try to find some imei restoring solutions from OPO, maybe you will find something useful but be careful.
And if you can't fix it by following any of these ideas you will need to wait for somebody to find out a way to restore IMEI on our OPX.
I'm sorry for your situation. Keep calm and wait for a fix
EDIT: Also you could try opening a ticket at OnePlus tech support, maybe they will offer you a solution to fix it (like RMA).
thanks for your replay

If you don't have efs backup then nothing can be done.
You can only hope to clear everything ( system, data, cache, dalvik ) and flash the full oxygenos 2.1.3-X zip.

Hi,
I have a question about my old kenzo. I flashed Pixel experience and since then the phone lost its SIM signal. I already flashed the stock ROM (MIUI 8 & MIUI 10) from recovery and fastboot, I flashed the NON-HLOS.bin file, I restored the IMEI too and it's still not working. Anyone has another approach for this problem?
PD: It's curious because I can see the SIM provider's name and the phone seems to have SIM signal ONLY if I have turned on the WIFI, but if I try to make a call (even if the WiFi is turned on or not) I receive the following message: "mobile network not available".

Ok, i'll try it and I'll edit this message with the results. Thanks!
i also have a similar problem.
*flashed Pixel experience and lost network
*flashed the stock ROM from recovery and fastboot,
*flashed the NON-HLOS.bin file
* i never damaged the IMEI. still looks fine
* the default APN settings are stuck on a belgium provider (this hasn't changed no matter how many roms i try to flash)
* i can see the provider in the sim settings but whenever i add the providers APN the setting disappears. (particularly when i ad the mcc)
*i can't unlock the bootloader because i can't receive text messages
