Hi,
Have searched around the forum looking for a solution to my problem. I have seen many threads about the same situation that I am in, however none of them have given me an answer.
I cannot make calls/texts or use mobile data.
I am on 3 network and can confirm that the SIM is working fine as I have used it in another phone.
The IMEI number remains intact, and I had made a backup of the EFS prior to making any changes to the phone.
Signal bars appear however a message saying 'Emergency calls only' does also.
Puzzled as to what this problem is,
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
which ROM did you flash?
Did it include a modem?

It was Anonoromv16. Unsure whether a modem was included, however have flashed a modem which i know works in my area. I have also tried to revert back to my previous Rom (cm10) and even official still with no luck
Have you checked your APN settings?

Have you restored it?

Have done a restore and still nothing has changed. I though that if the efs was corrupt, then my serial and imei would be also?
"No sim card" error is not solved yet (27/02/13)
Same problem here. Problem is reported in other threads with different situations. Some were lucky and just managed to get rid of it by re-inserting the sim card but most are stuck with it. Wondering if it's not an issue with ICS/JB

Change the csc with an app of the market and set it to your region. That might work.

Hello, after i flashed Oxygen 2.3-2.3.1-2.3.2(In that order) In CWM i lost the ability to make calls, receive calls, text and receive text. I have tried by flashing back to stock rom via odin, still nothing. Though the signal is full.
The IMEI under the battery is the same as in the phones info menu. And ive my sim in other phones and it works, and ive tried other sims in the my S2, still doesnt work.
What can i do guys?

What do you mean by full wipe? Wiped dalvik cache, cache partition and data/factory reset in recovery
Sorry, I mean wipe data/factory reset + wipe cache partition. Or if you have backup of stock ROM, you can restore it.

In CWM? Yes i do have and have already done one
I don't know then. I said everything what could help you. Maybe is something with SIM. Or try to flash other FW.

What's the imei being displayed? You might have a corrupted EFS.

Good news. It's not a corrupted EFS. What do you get when you enter #*1234# into the dialer?

Its says "Mobile network not available"
Any news? Same situation.. emergency calls only..
I tried to restore efs folder but I have not solved..
Imei dispalyed is correct.
Service State: Out of Service.
Roamning: Not Roaming
Mobile Network State: Disconnected.
when the phone boots it ask the sim pin code.
but emergency calls only..
Whoops. It should be *#1234# and automatically take you to a screen giving the PDA, PHONE, CSC and build info values.
Same problem here?
my IMEI is ok.
How did you solve it?
My SGSII is not rooted.
*#1234# gives:
PDA: I9100BUKJ3
PHONE: I9100BUKI1
CSC: I9100SFR§KI3
Build info:mon oct 17 14:37:12 KST 2011
Enter network settings APN etc manually and test .
jje
APNs are right (set manually)

My imei has an sv number 01 at the back. After flashing the rom, it becomes a 04. Thoughts? Imei at the front still intact though.

This is very odd I have heard of the EFS becomming corrupt and changing the imei to 0000 but not SV part of the IMEI. Have you tried flashing back to stock and reflashing the rom.
Also did you back up your EFS I think omega rom automatically backs it up or at least there is an option. If so there is plenty of tutorials on here
Yes backed it up already. Whats sv number? Should i restore my original EFS? I still can call out though. Will restoring my original EFS make it back to /01?

I think as long as everything is working see how you get on. The SV number is Software Version Number but I dont know why this would have changed and what are the effects of it changing are. I have flashed several roms and not come accross this, keep your efs back up and see how you get on.
If anyone disagrees with that statement please reply, I am not an expert and this is purely my own opnion.

May also be worth asking in the Omega Rom thread.
Ok tried doing a restore using ktool, still nothing changed, imei still intact and sv still 04. I guess it might have changed when i flashed the omega rom. Btw, i have lots and lots of backup of my efs. Everything in my com, phone etc so that if anything goes wrong, i still have hope. A trip to Samsung sucks tho

Yes, calls and sms works fine! Just that i'm bugged by the sv number change. As i said above, i keep efs backups everywhere just in case something goes wrong. Pays to be a lil paranoid about it.:fingers-crossed:

Same here after flash of v29
But device seems to be still okay...
I recommend to do this:
- Flash phone back to stock ICS
- Root phone
- Restore EFS backup
- Check IMEI again
Hope this helped,

Yep same here, I was on 01 on v28 now 04 on v29.

Could you explain me, why we should do so, hence the fact that there are no real problems?
You're recommending a method that is possible to brick a device if something goes wrong...

IMEI changing isn't a good thing... OP says it's just changed after flashing a ROM. I'd take no risk and would flash stock back. BTW, you're really stupid if you break your phone with flashing stock.

Nope...I was referring to the restore efs part

Try to flash the rom again.

I was trying to install a modem for t-mobile to get their 4g as my phone is unlocked. I seem to have either wiped out the imei or something because now my computer doesn't detect the unit being there but I do have CMW that I can reboot to. Is there something in there I can try to reinstall?
What steps did you follow?

I'm sorry if this has been posted already. Can't seem to find any thread.
The thing is I updated my s3 from 4.0.4 to 4.3 directly via Odin.
And now I'm getting an "Emergency calls only" error.
I tried reading every thread. If there is someone who would help me??
Please.
Thanks.

Yes. The IMEI and serial number are intact.
When I call on that number, I can hear a ring.
But phone doesn't notify!
Have you cleared the cache (and dalvik if rooted)?.
Factory reset?.

I have the efs backup. But it's v1
Usual reason a phone is on old firmware is the efs had been badly repaired and won't work with v2 firmwares.
