My amaze randomly one day just lost mobile connection. From the settings I says Baseband Unknown and no IMEI number. From the HBOOT (1.90.2005) system info it has the imie number listed there fine. But in Android it doesn't show.
Tried restoring using OTA tmobile rom, still no radio. Contacted tmobile and they said the phone is not blacklisted.
Is there anything that can be done to fix this?
ive read about ways to restore a missing/lost imei so i know its possible, but im not really sure off hand right away... id do a google for restore missing/lost imei and see what turns up...

The ones I found googling did not apply to the amaze but tried some anyway, they didn't help. There is also a post here in amaze forums but it gave no fix.

I have read the and tried multiple times the method you said. Still no luck. Do I have to keep doing the steps?
Since my HBOOT is able to read it fine, but Android is not. I am thinking the problem is at Android side. Even stock rom does not work.

My internet won't work. My carrier is Iwireless I've never had issues with it. I put this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1531135 rom on my phone and afterwards the internet stopped work. I flashed back to stock and the internet still doesn't work.
So earlier I odin my Samsung vibrant back to stock, Thing is I forgot to take my sim and my SD card out... It still worked and I still get service I can text make phone calls and all that. For about an hour or so afterwards my internet worked just fine. Now it doesn't work at all. I'm not sure if this was because of odin back to stock while leaving my sim in or not.. Any help would be appreciated.

if your sim card was damaged youd have more issues i think, it seems like a software problem what id do is do a full odin back to jfd and try out different modems, you may also have to set your APN's manually which can be a pain in the arse but could be the source of your issues, check your apn settings to be sure.
also seems to be a problem ongoing and being discussed in the thread you linked to, it may be helpful to read through it.

Thank you for replying, I have done a full odin back to JFD and it doesn't seem to help, I've also set my APN manually and I know its 100% correct. Still can't seem to figure out why I'm not getting an internet connected. I'm doing a full ODIN again back to JFD. But its most likely not going to change anything.
just an fyi for the future, expecting answers and giving the attitude you were before is not gonna grant you alot of help on these forums generally speaking if you are having an issue with a specific rom its best to ask in that thread and if you ask politely you are more likely to get someone who is receptive and willing to help you.
There was no attitude? At all.. If you took it that way I'm not sure what to tell you.

Pretty sure he was referring to this. But yes, it is better to ask in the ROM thread and then if many people are having the same problem it can be worked out there.
No worries though.
One thing. When you put in your APNs did you hit save? I have done that a few times and facepalm each time I forget.
There is an app in the market called APN backup/restore that I have used many times. Something is breaking your connection for some reason. I'll work on it later tonight. Let us know is Odin solves it though.
That doesn't seem like I had an attitude, I just figured someone else would of have the issue. I've posted in the rom thread as well, and no odin didn't solve the issue. From reading in the rom thread it sounds like a modem issue but I have no idea how to go about fixing it. Anyway thanks for taking your time to look into this problem for me. I appreciate it. I also made sure to check the apn, its saved and 100% correct
iwireless APN
If u don't mind me asking, what APN settings are u using? I have iwireless w/ a Vibrant as well and can't get my MMS & data fully working. I have the unlimited monthly plan not Megatalk.
Did you pay the data portion of your bill?
Yes I have.. I'm not dumb thanks. I've also posted in the Rom developers thread and he wont even respond to me. No one seems to want to help, everyone says flashing another Kernal fixes the issue but It hasn't fixed it for me. I still have no data and my data worked just fine before flashing his rom.
hello ,
suddenly my s2 won't read any sim card and it's always on flight mode ! i tried to restart the phone and it didn't work , also tried to take the battery and the sim card off for a while and it didn't work also , i did factory reset still nothing.
- the sim card worked normally on another phone
- the phone is running on android 2.3.5 because we didn't get the ICS in the middle east for some reason.
- the phone is not rooted.
- kies doesn't recognize the phone anymore .
so how do i make it work ?
and sorry for the bad English because I'm not a native speaker .

I'm pretty sure you EFS folder is messed up. There is a guide in general to recover it altrough most likely it won't. Other way is to contact xda member odia, I think he can recover it.

Do one more factory restore but this time without Sim card and SD card.
Use the dial code to wipe.

Check first your IMEI is correct .
What do you mean by not read sim card network or you cannot read the data on the sim contacts etc .

the network doesn't work and i can't show the data , it basically tells me to "insert the sim card" so it's like the sim is not even in the phone at all.

Then it may not be you efs folder (IMEI!) becoming corrupted after all! Try cleaning the contacts on your sim & inside your phone & make sure none of the pins are bent or broken internally also, then try somebody elses sim card in your phone first before replacing your own! If your sim works in another phone then it's got to be something to do with the contacts/pins, as you haven't flashed your phone or anything to corrupt stuff in the first place!!

Annoyed with Android
I have the exact same symptoms except I did not play around with any software updates or “internal settings”. The memory on my phone was filled with photos I took over the weekend and some apps refused to start up because of the lack of memory. Probably the mistake, I took the SD card out to try to read it from my Win 7 notebook, because the “Gallery App” did not want to open to allow me to delete of some images to free up memory. (Well why not, most other equipment allow their SD cards to be read by Windows.)
Whatever the reason the phone is completely stuffed; the SD card is not recognised and that result in no phone connection!! The phone can't be used. This is absolutely ludicrous. One cannot sell equipment that can be made unusable this easily. I can understand maybe losing image/data on the SD card if I took it out, but now the entire phone is useless, and it seems (from other forums too) that it is quite a process to get the so-called IEMI folder back. I am really frustrated at this point and have a real annoyance with Android. Judging from the amount of hits returned after a Google search, this SD card problem is a fairly common one. I am not going to fix this; will rather get a new phone, one that works, and it will not be an Android phone. Yes I know hardcore Andriod followers will be all over my post, but just think a bit, this kind of problem should not happen and is really nonsense
(PS: People that moan about multiple postings, can't you just answer the question, even if there is another similar thread, do you have to nit pick on everything.)

- There is no need for you to start spamming this thread.
- Ask questions with common sense, that will help you get the much needed assistance.
- There no need for you to threaten anyone. If you are not going to buy Android device again, million more people will still buy it.
- You must understand that, people who give assistance here on XDA, do so without any monetary benefit. It's not your right to be given assistance, it's a privilege.
- Xda just like any other forum/organisation has rules and regulations, you must follow them.
- stop spamming around, it will only make things worse for you.

Apologies for the double messages. I tried to fix it numerous times, but it does not seem to take effect.
Jokesy, the fact people don’t get paid for commenting here is completely irrelevant; I also have a day job and don’t have 6 hours in the evening to get a phone to make a call. Pointing out severe problems with a product is not spamming.

Posting the same thing 3 or 4 times within 3 minutes and again in another person's thread is indeed spamming.

Jokesy you sure are not very observant. You should have noticed the multiple messages were due to an editing problem. Report my post; hopefully an administrator can clear up the extra messages as sure as tax this editor cannot. Do you think for one moment I value membership of a site where some rude one-eyed geeks hang out?
To the $20 guy; the phone is not worth that much. I will probably not come back to this site, so it is pointless, but I would even mail the phone to you in its original box, free of charge, if I could.
could you please tell me how did he fix it? Because I apparently have the same problem!:crying:

Interesting...
I am in a similar situation with a t989 phone that doesn´t recognize my simcards.
Some days ago I tried to upgrade my phone to the latest official ICS using ODIN as KIES
was always giving disconnection errors before finishing the upgrade.
Finally I got my phone stuck at the download mode with an error message and a yellow warning triangle.
I thought I had a bricked phone, but fortunately I managed to recover it using an old
official ROM. The problems is that now it doesn´t recognize any simcard inserted.
The current installed software versions are:
Android 2.3.5
Base band: T989UVKID
Kernel version: 2.6.35.11
Compilation number: GINGERBREAD.UVKID

Hello please i just read your post and would need your advice, my S2 just stopped recognizing my Sim card yesterday night, i was playing a fast action game on my phone and the phone suddenly went off, when it came back on it did not recognize my Sim card any longer. I tired putting the same Sim in another phone and it worked but when i returned it to mine it still did not recognize my Sim, please can you tell me what to do with regards to this issue?
Hi There People,
I'm sorry if this issue was already solved in another thread, I just couldn't find it. =/
I've gotten an ATRIX MB680 that is not connecting callings. I've seen that some other users have had this same problem and solved it, however I wasn't successfull in solving it myself. I've turned it to stock Gingerbread ROM, changed radios but NOTHING so far. I REALLY need this phone working ASAP. Does anyone know how to and if this issue is solvable? =/
Anyways, thank youbso much for the help.
Aquele Abraço...

See if that works

Hi All,
I flashed the Samsung newest 4.1.2 and when I did it I noticed I could not call anyone as no network etc. Since then I have done some digging and found that my imei on the phone under status is different from the one in the back of the phone under the battery. I have read about an app called gsII - repair to try and get it back to normal as it has done some damage to the efs backup file (I think).
I have been flashing for well over a year but have not got a clue how to get my phone working again, can anyone help please??
I have read loads on here but as I am a noob with code etc it looks extremely difficult, so any advice would be great as I have a phone that does not phone at the moment and my wife is doing her nut in as I am away on business and she can't get hold of me...
Thanks in advance, Phil

There are plenty of topics on this for you to read or reply to, no need for creating another one just to get same answers you could have got from the others.
Hello, recently I've been getting a no signal problem with my S2 running SuperNexus ROM. Basically, I have no signal. I have a IMEI (I checked online, and it's legit) and I have a efs folder backed up from when the signal was working.
This happened to me already, and It was fixed by reflashing SuperNexus. Not this time.
How can I get signal back? The phone is unlocked. Shall I restore my old efs? Also, when I search for networks it says "Error while searching for networks".
Please help Any help is appreciated.
THE SOLUTION WAS:
Install https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.helroz.GSII_Repair&hl=en
Do step 1, and step 2. After step 2, reboot. Problem is fixed.
Either you factory reset & restore or you flash stock.
Are you sure it happened overnight?
Check the supernexus thread to see if this is a known issue.
Sent from the little guy
I checked the supernexus thread, and I didn't find anything. Also, I'm pretty sure it happened overnight. It happened like that the last time too. Also, I kinda want to avoid flashing more stuff. I flashed enough already. Can't be bothered to waste 30+ minutes getting everything configured again in settings.
I put my SIM into another phone, and a different SIM into my phone. On the other phone, I can call and I have signal, so not a SIM problem. Now, this is the stupid part: the other SIM works well on my phone! I get signal and I can call etc. so its not a phone problem.
What is this? So is it just my SIM can't work on my phone? I never saw anything like this! Anyone can help?
Network locked.

What does that mean? And what can I do about it? I tried other SIMs from other networks on my phone, all work fine, and from my network, orange too.
Maybe your SIM is f#@$/d up.
I dunno, if you don't wanna come across these issues flash stock.
Sent from the little guy
I'm gonna try my luck with stock and then flash SuperNexus again. Also, how can my SIM works with other phones, but not with mine anymore? I don't really want to flash stock and then SuperNexus again, because I'm pretty sure it's just gonna come back again, like last time. Last time the solution was simple. I want this to be done and over with. My SIM is 4 years old, so maybe I should go to EE (as that's what orange is called now) and ask for a new SIM? I don't know :/ Also, what did you mean by network lock?
Try galaxy sim unlock just for kicks.
You could also ask for a new SIM, yeah.
Sent from the little guy
I tried Galaxy S2 ulock by chainfire, and it said that the unlock code is a few 0's. Does that mean anything?
I installed a few more unlocking things, and stuff related to it. I installd SGII_Repair, and after r/w mounting efs, I got signal back Such a weird solution! I kinda want to keep this thread going, as I don't know why that happened.... twice. I want to avoid this kind of problem, so I would like to find the source of it. If anyone can say something, that would be awesome.
Your EFS folder was kind of messed up then.
And you're right, it's weird because EFS don't get fu&*%%* up overnight.
Sent from the little guy
The problem is that I don't know how it got messed up xD Might do a totally clean flash, from stock ICS when I get some spare time. And I don't think that it actually was messed up. The first step of the app was to back up current efs. The second one was "force rw mounting on efs folder". I tried the app last time, the time I temporarily lost my IMEI, and it didn't work. So glad it's finally fixed, but I'm scared it will come again
