Haven't seen anything like this before...
So a friend bought a s3 from some other country and the phone didn't recognize Greek sim cards... The thing is that he didn't give it to me and he first went to Samsung. They said it can't be done and when he got it back from them it was like on the photos..
I have wiped, rooted, changed stock firmware, flashed cf auto root and siyah kernel but nothing can remove that box with letters from showing all the time except when I launch any app. Even the stock apps. Any ideas how to fix?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Nothing?Noone?At least any suggestion?
Why didn't he take it back a second time before he flashed everything he could find? Maybe they would fix it in seconds? They obviously messed us

It's definitely diagnostic/debug information, but I'm not sure why it's persisting even through factory resets and ROM flashes. Perhaps it can be disabled through one of the hidden diagnostic or service menus (check around on Google for the relevant codes).

Thanks for the suggestion...I found some codes and went to check them all out...One had many sub menus but I still saw them all and tried but nothing worked...
I will tell him to take it back to the Samsung service but cause it's weekend I got it to try my stuff.
And if this helps anyone help me this is what else I did. I moved on to unlock this device with GalaxSimUnlock since when I inserted a sim card the device wouldn't ask for pin or get signal. So I installed this and besides it saying that my phone is unbranded and unlocked it also says top of the list:
Device Model: Not ActiveVD2
So in conclusion, this S3 has:
1) These yellow letters
2) When inserting a sim card it asks for no pin and has no signal
3) Flashing roms stock or not or kernels didn't help with the letters and GalaxsimUnlock didn't either
4) Hidden menu codes didnt help
I'm going to give up if there aren't any other ideas..

Hi ..you need to provide more info dude ...what country did the device come from ?
Check the About Phone info ...everything is OK ? ....that message displays all the time ?
It may be just a display screen of some kind of process that the GS3 has ....look in developer settings ...is there anything checked to run ?
Check EFS folder ...everything is intact ..all files & folders...nv.data.bin ?
Also check APN settings ....I live in Greece also Chania,Crete & I switch sims often ...Vodafone , Cosmote ,Fido "Canada"
Some devices you need to manually enter the proper carrier settings for the first time
What that message may be is ...a process executing ...a function is trying to connect threw the network ....so the S3 ... doesn't seem to be detecting a network at all ...so it displays that screen message ...instead of a sim unlocking screen or something similar
...leave the sim card out ...does it still have that message
If all else fails ...goto TSAR3000 website & get the original factory firmware ....PIT..Radio ..CSC...all data for the GS3
You can maybe even show them your pics ..maybe they know exactly what it the cause of that message
If you flash an other firmware ...first wipe everything in the device ...format sdcard ...fix permissions ..everything !!
I will investigate this also ...very interesting !
---------- Post added at 12:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:28 PM ----------
Whoops ......if ..when...you reflash all the devices data with Odin ....make sure to check all 3 boxes
It also looks like the Bootloader is corrupted .....that would be my best guess

I have done most things that you said...After more investigation I found out that this yellow letters is called "Factory mode". I read for a solution somewhere and did that and the yellow letters have gone and the phone works great (for solution I went to efs / factoryapp / factorymode and changed the text inside to ON from OFF). BUT after that I still can't get any network although my mobile says that it's unlocked when running GalaxSim free version. So if it says that my phone is unclodked then why don't I have signal with my sim card?
Maybe try a different sim?
sent via xda app from starkissed maguro gnex paranoid beta9
From what I've researched it is either an illegal efs/blocked or carrier locked.
Sent from my Galaxy S3
Factory mode probably isnt it ....my device also says Factory Mode - On
Usually if the issue is just no signal ....its the APN Settings ....goto Mobile Networks / Access Point Names ....& if there are any settings MMS /MCC / MNC ports that have values & they are proper to the carrier ...then it should be good
But yeah after more investigation also ....all day ....it may look like a possible sim brick ......that device may have been reported stolen & the carrier hard locked it.....Or the nv.data.bin is corrupted ....maybe damaged from flashing ...
because all the device info ...that the nv.data.bin stores...it doesn't list those in that yellow message ....& its suppose too !
Like I mentioned earlier goto TSAR3000 & make sure you have all the correct device files & data
In GalaxSim Unlock.. it shows correct device model & carrier id ? .....it says unlocked for all modes & it says ...locking is consistent ?
There are many solutions ...so you need to rule out as many as possible
Something like this happened to an HTC One S... i unlocked for a friend ....unlocking was successful ..but couldn't get a signal ...I just let the device chill out 30 min or so & a signal finally transmitted.....sometimes there are authentication process's going on first time you boot a new carrier ....so you need to wait abit until all process's have completed
2 possible solutions I've found for you via Google
Wipe cache and dalvik
Take battery out for a few hours

APN settings aren't the problem. Actually apn settings are only for internet. I'm sure that the problem must have to do with the efs folder somehow. Probably something is corrupted there... But don't know how or if I can fix it. I didn't download the firmware from TSAR3000 but I downloaded the firmware form sammobile.com which I think neveris wrong... So that is also ok. GalaxSim Unlock says in all rows that it is unlocked. Also read somewhere how I can edit the nv_data.bin file to unlock the phone and also did the manual instructions but still the same.As for letting the sim card in for time, I did. I left it for hours but still it says not registered to network when I dial.
slaphead20 --> I have wiped everything many many times
Read that thread I linked you to
Did that and I did get out of factory mode which I also did when editing myself the file.The problem now is that I can't get any signal although the SiM card is recognised... Probably will have to go to Samsung.
APN settings ..is not only for internet my friend ....there should be 3 protocals
I know I am insisting ..but I know ...i have seen it with my own eyes
The device should have ...carrier APN....internet APN & tethering APN ....make sure that values are correct for carrier APN
carrier apn ...controls the transmision with the network & MMS ....MCC & MCN must have correct open ports or a signal will never transmit
These ports also control remotely locking the device sim
A mobile network code (MNC) is used in combination with a mobile country code (MCC) (also known as a "MCC / MNC tuple") to uniquely identify a mobile phone operator/carrier using the GSM/LTE, CDMA, iDEN, TETRA and UMTS public land mobile networks and some satellite mobile networks.
If this doesn't work ...the device is blacklisted & hardlocked

I dont know the progress you have had ..if any ...& what exactly has been done to the device
but I've searched around quite a lot & 4 things can only be ...why your not getting signal
Wrong APN Settings ...Damaged EFS ...Network Block...Damaged Antenna
There is nothing else inside the device that would cause no signal transmission
Do you have WiFi & Bluetooth ??
Had seen a similar problem with Note 2 and there the imei was currupted dial *#06# and see what u have on screen it could be that the imei will show something like 00460.

Firstly, follow the steps in:
General > Sticky Roll-Up Thread > IMEI / EFS - Know this stuff
Which, as you can guess by the thread title, you should know.... There are steps to get out of factory mode and also info about the IMEI number. Serial number may be a different issue. Deal with that later
The same problem that i have now
Hi, did you solve it?
I have the same problem with my S3, Yello letters on screen.
I tried to use the secret codes in order to put off the debug diagnostic menu but without results, maybe I put mistake code in order to get it out.
But of course this is not the only problem I have. If I coud put it off, maybe I can use it as a TOMTOM Device with GPS and sometimes with WifFI Tools or put it
in my bedroom in order to look at my ipcams...
BUT FIRST I HAVE TO GET IT OUT YELLOW LETTERS ON THE BLACK SCREEN.
I discovered that my imei is
0049990164000008
This is a generic Imei, and maybe the phone will works if I SAY IF I could change Imei with my original IMEI Wrote on the package of my phone
I don't want to put a strange or a fake imei that is illegal but just MINE.
I have this that maybe help you:
PDA: I9300XXEMC2
PHONE: I9300BUEMC3
CSC: I9300VFGEMD1
So I tried to use ODIN to do a lot of things but without any results.
I read about ARIZAPatch A TURKISH developer has do this apk but I cannot use it cause I cannot root my S3, I tried to do, ok it sais REMOVED but when I install
BUSYBOX and SUPERSU... and ARIZAPATCH.... IT SAYS NO PERMISSIONS.
CAN YOU HELP ME PLEASE?

Yea, this is the exact thing thats happened to me (Indian version).
Fresh out of the box phone, worked fine for the last 3-4 days.
Now I'm out on a vacation, and the network selection on roaming was flaky, I was toggling the network selection manually/automatically a few times to get some network, and the next thing I know I no longer have a IMEI (shows unknown) , and the same for baseband ( shows unknown) .
Tried factory resetting , etc, not helping. Will get back home and have the phone repaired/replaced.

This airplane mode sounds dangerous. Unfortunately it may be a necessity when you are travelling etc. Hope there is a known fix or one comes out soon. Until then I will keep my /efs partition backup in 3-datacenter redundant storage place along with my laptop and ext.hdd.
i just recieved an sgs2 in uk and it has this exact problem out of the box.
grrr
if anyone wants to point me to a stock rom for it i'll try flashing it
erm, i dont think flashing will help here.
I reckon that missing IMEI means the /efs partition has been wiped out/corrupted, and that is something which cannot be restored by a simple flash.
finally, after almost 12 days, lots of running around, I finally got my S2 working again.
The service center had to send the phone to their head office since they hadnt received any service info on the new model till then.
They changed the PBA apparently , and finally reflashed it and gave it to me.
They claimed that the flashing was an online process and samsung india service servers were down for nearly 2-3 days, accounting for the additional delay.
Just like my I9000, but I dont think it is the same problem and same way to solve.
I rooted the devise and deleted the nv_date.bin and the nv_data.md5 in EFS file with Root Explorer, and renamed the .nv_data.bak into nv_data.bin, then restart, problem solved
I have exactly the same problem as you guys are talking about. Really weird. The /efs directory, where is it located? Is it located in the main "Root" or is it in a specific folder? I would like to try the thing with the rename trick?

Hi.
I have a big problem with my G2, and have tried many things.
It all started 2 weeks ago. I lost connection to my network.
I tried many things, and ended up giving it to a repair shop, in China, as I was there shortly. They put a new firmware into the phone, and a chinese SIM card worked.
I found an english version of the firmware, and asked them to update with that version, No problem. Everything worked well...but when I arrived back to Denmark, same problem. Not registered on the network.
Now I have tried many things, as Kies could not recognize the firmware version. I burned a 2.35 version into the phone with Odin, and Kies regocnized the version, and now updated to 4.03. Great, but ... I have the same problem. APN settings acc to my network provider. Oister 3 in Denmark.
I really have no idea what to do anymore. And I cant send it in for repair, as the flash counter says 10 times.
Is ther someone here, with a very deep knowledge in Logs etc, as I can send Logs if I am explained what to do.
The short time the phone worked, did I really love it.
And also the chinese SIM can not connect from Denmark.
I would prefer all Logs etc in private email, but if we solve it, I will poste solutions and results here.
Best of regrads
Morten
As for the counter, install and run triangleaway - it can be found in the SGSII section of XDA.
Check that the sim card works (try it on another phone) and borrow another sim card (on the same network). It is amazing how many problems like this are due to a damaged sim card or just not connecting correctly. I had a friend who took the sim card out to flash their Samsung Galaxy 3 and put in the sim card wrongly and couldn't make a call.
Can you copy your contacts to or create one in the sim card?
I doubt that it is a problem with the EFS folder, ie no IMEI number because it was fixed with a china sim, but it may be. Is the IMEI number you get from dialing *#06# 004999010640000 or different from the label under the battery? If so then you have a EFS folder problem. There is an app that may fix it - it requires root - * HERE *
Mobile network
Hi
Thanks for the reply.
A:
I can make, copy, edit etc contact directly at the simcard in the phone, and also copy, edit etc from Kies to the Sim card. And yes. It is the simcard I can do those things at. Double checked that it was somcard and not the phone memory
B:
Double checked the IMEI number again.
Label phone same as *#06#
Further information:
In the first day, I tried many many things to get the phone working.
I searched the internet a lot, and I found some kind of help. Like with IMEI check, I should type a code like *#xxxx# or *xxxx* Stupid as I was, I did not write down the code, and also did not safe the page on the internet, so I have no idea what code I wrote. I am sure it was something regarding Mobile network or CSC.
Reg Triangle away.
My phone is no longer rooted, as I try to have it in original mode, so its ready to send to repair, if needed. Triangleaway needs the phone to be routed, right ?
And will that not require an unsafe kernel ?
After resetting, then I suppose I need to install an original kernel again, and will that not make the counter go to 1 ?
Any other ideas ?
Regards
Morten
can you be little clear....
no network or no data (internet) on your current network
1: do you have a locked phone or unlocked. [carrier locked when new]
2: no network will be no signals at all, no phone call....

4: counter can be fixed easy as now your on ics

Well, this : not registered on network only happen if phone idle for more than 3hrs, meaning phone just work normally if I don't let it idle for long time. This very frustrating as every morning after wake up I have to switch between airplane mode for phone working again.

Mobile network problem
Hi.
Please see my answers below
1: do you have a locked phone or unlocked. [carrier locked when new]
The phone worked before, and was not locked, but as I send a command to the phone, could I have locked it ? How can I check that ? And it does not give me any warning when I start the phone up.
When I try to make a call, it right away says: Dialling ...Call ended.
2: no network will be no signals at all, no phone call....
No mobile network. It is ONLY a problem with phone calls and reciving calls.
I have plenty of signal
3: no data will be you cant browse, send receve emails
Data is right now not working, WiFi works.
I cant get correct APN settings, as my provider sends this as system configuration to the phone, but cant recive it.
3A: My provided is named 3 Oister, and normally this provider is listed under Network operators. On this phone it is NOT listed. 3 Oister is using network of 3, and only network of 3 is listed.
If I pull down the menu from the topbar on the phone, it actually says 3 Oister, but 3 Oister is not listed under Network Operators.
On my other SG2, 3 Oister is listed in Topbar and under Network Operators.
I bought a new SG2 as well, and we are 2 persons using SG2 here.
4: counter can be fixed easy as now your on ics
How ? Can I do that without rooting and install different firmware ?
I do run ICS ver 4.03, updated by Kies.
In worst case, I will send the phone in for repair, but for sure, needs the counter reset.
Regards
Morten
Put a new firmware in the phone then probably wrong modem and CSC for your location .
Chinese sim unlikely to work 4000 miles away but that is easy to swap sim .

As my counter says 10, you can see, I have tried this several times, and its also written in my first post.
Please send the code for check of CSC and changing CSC. As I remember it is set to be NEE.
Chinese sim unlikely to work 4000 miles away but that is easy to swap sim .
Chinese SIM works all over the world, as long as Roaming is allowed. And it works in the other phone. Now I have the Denmark SIM in, and same problem. Yes, I did close down the phone, changed SIM and started the phone again. Exactly SAME problem.
Rom counter for ICS use the search tool for the relevant post .

1: forget all your idea's do exact as i say
2: remove your sdcard
3: using cwm format system, cache, data, sdcard [system is a must]
4: remove battery / insert back goto download mode
5: flash the ROM you downloded using odin, after restart dont do any restores
6: wait for few minutes now dial this *2767*3855# [important]
dont restore any backups including titanium stuff.
if your phone works now put your sdcard back and do whatever now you want.

Followed the guide very detailed
3: using cwm format system, cache, data, sdcard [system is a must]
Wiped all data in System and also Wiped Cache, using:
Root the Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-I9100 running XXLPQ firmware and install ClockworkMod Recovery: CF-Root-SGS2_XX_XEO_LPQ-v5.3-CWM5.tar
Done with Super User Granted.
4: remove battery / insert back goto download mode
Done
5: flash the ROM you downloded using odin, after restart dont do any restores
Flashed with Odin 1.85 in PDA: I9100XXLPQ_I9100HTDLP3_I9100NELP2_HOME.tar.md5
6: wait for few minutes now dial this *2767*3855# [important]
Done. Phone shows Factory Reset in big letters
dont restore any backups including titanium stuff.
Nothing restored.
Booted up, and automatic installed APK's
Same problem.
Only difference is that now the counter says 11 counts
But thanks for a detailed and well told possibility.
As I see it, the problem is connected to the standard the phone connects to the Mobile grid. As I told earlier, I made a stupid thing. I send a command with *#xxxx* in the phone, and I cant remember what code, and I did not save the page on the internet. I really think the problem is about a standard. That the phone is setup to a standard that the 3G net is not using in Denmark.
I can dump logs etc, if anyone can help. But I need to know how.
Regards
Morten
buddy your problem was.... network right? is it working now?
forget counter it will be fixed....later using triangle away with ics bootloader

if your phone now works fine with calls send and recieve, manually add the apn to get 3G.
Mobile network problem
Hi
Nope. Did not solve the problem.
Just ran Triangle away, and moved the Firmware: I9100XXLPQ_I9100HTDLP3_I9100NELP2_HOME.tar.md5 to the SD card.
Will try now to install it by CWM
And then I give up. Will try to send it for repair ..... really a shame, as I really would have liked to solve it here
Cheers

Mobile network problem
Hi Buddy
It finds a lot of Networks, but cant connect to any of them
3 networks with 3G and 4 with 2 G
But not the Mobile network I need to connect to> Oister 3
My other SG2 finds that network without any problem
Cheers
Morten
I had the same problem too. At first I tought it was a rom issue, but it wasn't actually. I turned my phone off and removed and placed back my sim card and it worked.
Mobile network problem
Finished programming original firmware using CMW as source for Odin, after counter was reset to 0, and the pnone status is the same as before, but counter is 0.
So will try to send it in for repair.
Thanks to u all.
And SIM card has been removed several times, even tried with a different.
No luck at all
Cheers, and thanks again
Morten
Did you ever get to the bottom of this?
I've been using my phone in Brazil and now i'm in the UK, it's doing exactly as you describe.

How would you go about checking these?

Compare the IMEI that displays when you type *#06# to the IMEI printed on the label under your battery. They should be the same.
For your own sake, do NOT post what the IMEI under the battery actually is, whether it's the same as what's displayed when you dial *#06# or not.
As for checking IMEI blocking by the carrier, that should be obvious. Call your carrier.
This thread is outdated and not related to the new problem with EFS coruption. Solutions proposed here wont help you if you lost your network after downgrading a ROM from MF6 to earlier.
Ok it's not the first thread about this but no one seems to have an answer. I'm trying again.
I flashed a custom ROM on a friend's phone i9300. After the flash the phone keep saying "Not registered on network". I tried everything I know.
I changed modem
I changed ROM (3X) (with full wipe)
I returned to stock
I installed GetRil (changed the baseband)
I installed Galaxsim (phone already unlock)
when I try to set the APN I get a message "registered on network" but when I do a phone call I got "Not registered on network"
Is there anyone who knows any way to solve this problem?
New sim? What all works?

everything works fine on the phone except the call/ 3g. She came with her own Sim card but she left me the phone and I'm using my own Sim card and same result.
Now I see that the IMEI SV is 01, My phone Number is UNKNOWN( is it normal?)

Get a new sim from your carrier. Either your sim tray is broken or your sim card is. Sim card is cheap/free to replace so try that first.

sounds like (both of you) your EFS folder is corrupt - the only way i've read of repairing it is to have a back up. service center for repair is the only option AFAIK.
The IMEISV means nothing, don't even worry about it. Know what you're talking about before you blurt out crap.

Usual suspects .
Sim you tried another .
Sim carrier unusual to be damaged .
IMEI wrong .
No phone number details standard with many roms .
Network details not entered or incorrect or wrong CSC .
Wrong modem unlikely .
Best to restore phone to original firmware .

First I restored the phone with the nandroid backup I made just before flashing. (still not register on network)
Then I restored the phone to stock Samsung with Odin (still not register on network)
The IMEI is still there(most thread I read with this problem people lost their IMEI)
The phone can connect to the network because it can retreive the time from the network.
If I make a network operator search it finds China Unicom(This is my sim card) and when I choose it it says "register on the network" but as soon as I try to call, I get the "not register on network" again.
I thought the IMEI might be block as it might be a stolen phone but I made a search on two IMEI database and it says CLEAR.
I flashed 3 Asian modems( I used to have a S3 I know the XXELJ2 was working with my sim card) and same result.
Have you tried flashing a different modem to your device and reporting the problem to your provider.
May sound obvious but the provider's logs may clearly show what is wrong and they can report it back to you.

anyway, tried this metod too now, and still the same ~
Hey guys, had a very similar problem to kremata (everything in EFS folder seemingly ok (IMEI and S/N were fine)), and for me it got fixed by applying Azira's Patch ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1918601 ).
However this solution only works by rooting and if you try to return it to stock it will reverse to being a 500$ PDA sadly.
In any case, the phone is now fully functional (calling/SMS/mobile data).
hey

Hi XDA ,
Am new in the Forum & First of all thanks to all of you for helping the forum and people. I'm having difficulties and I cant seem to find the way to fix this(its been 2 weeks)
My problem is the following: I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 details:
software version: N900PVPUBMI3
hardware version N900P.00
Status: network: Digital roaming
mobile network type CDMA-AxRTT
Android 4.4.2
KERNEL:[email protected]#1
A friend bought me this phone and called my carrier METROPCS and made them set up the phone so I could use it. they asked him for imei and sim number. He was able to use the phone and 4GLTE(he was doing this to verify it was unlocked) later on he gave me the phone and I had to do the same procedure he did but first I did a factory data reset.
After it I wasn't able to set it up again.
I've noticed that APN SETTINGS has disappeared from the menu, cant search for networks, when I load IMEI it no longer shows the imei but it shows MEID B0000000 and besides all of this I have a message that says SIM CARD INVALID.(but the sim card works perfectly on my other phone)
I will all my life appreciate if you help me with this matter please!
PS. phone is rooted as far as I know(root check on Google play store said it was)
Sir,
Please wait until mods will move this thread to the device specific forum for more relevant answers.
Stand by
Good luck

You might try installing this app it find/gives all the hidden info on your device http://forum.xda-developers.com/not.../app-one-click-hotspot-enabler-menus-t2816159 it will give you APN's MEID AND IMEI . All you have to do is download to your PC, it my download as a zip file. Just use 7zip and rename it to an apk, then copy and paste it to your internal sd card via your charging cable. Then click on apk and install. Enjoy !!!
BTW your MEID is on a label under the battery !!!

Hi Jim/XDA
I'm still not able to connect to the network. Regarding the IMEI on the back part i know its there however what im saying is that im not able to see my imei through command when i dial *#06#
i as well had this errors today when i woke up:
: LTE:ESM-x EMM-14(ive seen this error when this issue started but it dissapeared and it came back know)
data roaming: you have lost data connectivity because you left your home network with data roaming turned off.
On mobile networks i remember i use to be able to select many(GSM,CDMA,etc) now in network mode i only see 2 options LTE/CDMA,CDMA. Currently LTE/CDMA is selected and if you just look at the network mode option without actually opening it it shows CDMA/LTE/EVDO.
Also when i opened the SCRTN it shows on black screen.
I tried to do some minor changes on Galaxy tools like the SIM UICC UNLOCK all mps,sales,default code on XAS. Factory & keystring ON. MSL/SPC show 222222.
After i did SIM UICC UNLOCK and restarted phone know took away all errors but i see the signal bars faded out and with a little red x on top of it. I've read the manual but im still wondering if there might still be things to set on a particular way that are not specified on it Can you please help me set this up properly?

Is this a Sprint variant? If so, you shouldn't have factory reset the phone. It looked like the phone was previously flashed to MetroPCS and by resetting the phone, it removed all the carrier data.
You will have to reflash the phone to get it working again.

Hey guys, for those who need to edit an APN (Access Point Names), there is a little secret.
Go Settings, and scroll down the list. You will find a search box. Type there Access Piont Names and here it is.
The steps above are neccesary, since APN setting is hidden.
Its been a long slog but ive got the os - I thought id open a new thread. I cant seem to register on the phone network. Its not the sim as ive tried another on (another provider) and that's the same and its also been a problem across all (even the stock images) that ive tried. Ive read on another thread is there a folder that I could have formatted which holds network or radio information....?
Just a thought....
Cheers.
ok - I believe its something to do with me imei number being forgotten....found a tool called the ARIZA patch but for some reason my cm13 build isn't rooted. Ive installed superuser but I still don't get root access (needed for ARIZA to work) I assumed the cm13 build would already be rooted....and idea's - I'm probably missing something...
Edit: just found the root slider - ariza patch doesn't work though - error is "phone not proper"

You could try this guide
Yep - looks like that's what happened - my imei number currently is that....well, at least I know now how to get it to a custom rom so ill have to reflash back to stock first - thanks for the link, that's a great help....ill report back in a bit...thanks again.
Nope - no luck so far....but that's definitely the problem.....lost the imei....ive never had the issue before - ive flashed mine loads of times (Note 3) and never had a problem so I never thought to back it up....if anyone has any other option I can try that'd be great....
Cheers
Ive followed the walkthrough but its not 100% clear - I might run through it a few times....
Supersu does not work on CM13, yet.
You need to turn on developer options in settings.
Well, all the stuff ive tried so far hasn't worked....I think id be looking at a manual entry (the imei is under the phone) so will try to find something along those lines....
I did try going back to a stock rom but seemed fruitless. ive gone back to cm13 as it seems the system is more open (obviously). It looks like the imei changer programs will work if xposed framework is installed....which I'm currently trying to work out how to do....easier said than done...
I think I'm done - I cant see any way of getting the imei back on there....think the phone has had it....my first loss...the xposed framework does not support the s2's architecture (that I can see)

I had a similar problem when I switched from ICS to JB, tree years ago. My phone would not register on any network no matter the SIM I put in (I tried 3 different operators). The only way I could solve it was with an apk called "Galaxy S2 Sim Unlock" - I had to work with that a little but after a little headache I could solve the problem. Since then, everything is ok - I can register on any network. My personal lesson from that experience is: "Never do a Factory Reset when upgrading Android (eg. ICS to JB, JB to KK, KK to LP and so on)." But that's only my experience. Now I'm on MM 6.0.1 (Cyanogen 13).
Ok- ill go take a look now....thanks for the link - I was hoping that someone could offer (something like this) so ive got another way of tackling it...cheers.
Edit - just gone looking and I cant see an app with the exact description....do you have the authors name (to narrow it down a little??)
Just to add this phone wasn't actually sim locked in the first place...are you saying that the side affect of using the sim unlocking software will insert the imei back in??

I bought my phone unlocked in 2011 - brand new, official release, so on.
I rooted it right away and started experimenting, installed tons of unofficial/official ROMs, playing with kernels, tweaking and everything, upgrading as soon as a new unofficial version would show up, from Stock Android 2.3.3 to... to X ... to Y... up to MM 6.0.1 (CM13) now.
I had few bricks over the time but I solved them in few hours to two days. But this problem with network registering was the longest of all and the scariest - it happened as I described it in the previous post. My understanding on that time (as I remember) was that the Factory Reset wiped my EFS.
That (Galaxy S2 Sim Unlock) apk gave me few codes I could use. Below is a note I made on those days (pretty confusing for me now, but it might help you):
-- Introducing "SIM network unlock PIN" didn't help me. I restart the phone and when it asked me the "SIM network unlock PIN", I introduced first the "Unfreeze code" but the network didn't unblock and then I introduced "SIM network unlock PIN" and the network unblocked."
As I searched now on Google Play I could not find "Galaxy S2 Sim Unlock" anymore. There is something called "GalaxSim Unlock" (by Spocky) - updated on december 2015, with support for Android 6.0.
Strange as mine I believe is the same as yours....unlocked generic phone. Ive not had any messages atall regarding "sim unlock" - my issue is theres a dummy imei in there - that's it although ill go and look now....any more information you have would be great...
Its the little things that help sometimes....I couldn't get the partitioning done atall then petrolcan mentioned a user and his script...then from that little bit of info I had a flashable zip that did everything for me...so everything helps.
I'm just not sure on the correlation between the sim unlock software and the imei missing....

Again, I'm not a specialist, but If I remember right, the EFS has to do with the IMEI, and on that time I have lost my EFS, and, I guess, my IMEI....
My S2 was usable (apks, games, wifi...) but not as a phone (for calling and receiving calls & SMS).
Or, you may want to try finding some ways of restoring EFS/IMEI....
yes, the efs folder holds the file which the imei is in (a bin file) but from what I read if you remove the efs folder completely the os will generate a new one....once you've got a new file then effectively you "should" be able to inject the imei into that thus renabling your phone (and therein lies the problem - getting the imeil back in) - yes, mines the same....everything works bar the phone access to the network...

Just guessing: Maybe "GalaxySim Unlock" injects the IMEI??? Check the description on Google Play:
"Detects errors like lost imei / serial in nv_data caused by third party apps"
You can give it a try with the free version - see what it founds on your phone.
I did try it....just gave me an nv_data error....nothing more than that...

I'll check about that tomorrow as I found few threads on XDA and I have to go now.... Hopefully you'll be "up and running" by the time I come back!
Heh - I hope so but I doubt it - spent about 5 hours Friday night, a good 12 yesterday and 12 the day before....any information you have would be great! thanks very much.
After looking around I think my best bet is the NV-items reader writer v1.0. but, I cant get it connected to the phone.....anyone got any clues on that one?? once connected it looks like you can edit the nv file and add the imei back in....
