Disclaimer: I have searched the forums for this answer and found multiple answers that didn't work for me. However, if I missed a topic (because there were plenty of them) that had the answer and you link it to me, I apologise in advance and thank you dearly!
Device: Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830i
ROM: Jelly Bean V.3.0 ported for S5830i
I downloaded the ROM and made a back up using CWM as well as having backed up my IMEI number using Toolbox
I cleared the cache and cleared data
Installed ROM, nothing went wrong
IMEI number was not there so couldn't make calls
Couldn't connect to my network because of this
Here's what I've done to try and fix this
Restored the IMEI file using Toolbox, but the IMEI is still blank when I dial *#06#
Used a Hex-Editor to manually input the IMEI but it was showing in the editor.
And that's where I'm stuck. Can anyone help me please?
Edit: I seem to have ticked the 'question' part of the new topic forum and flagged this as a quesiton. This was a mistake on my part. I apologise :S
You might be having the same issue I had while trying to restore my IMEI Toolbox backup.
Check the thread I posted with a solution that helped me -

Hi there and welcome to the forum.
Please create a more informative title next time, so people know what it is that you need help with.
I am in the same boat as you only with my GS3 LTE version. If you still have the box to get the IMEI from or look under the battery you might be able to restore your imei using an nv writer http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1804117
Try to do a full wipe then reflash the stock rom with odin.
Good luck!
No sim, imei

Hi Friends,
i have Samsung Captivate SGH I897. two months back it started showing error " Data Network Not available" and i was unable to make any call.
So i did some research over internet and installed Gingerbread 2.3.3 version. now the message shown is "Mobile Network Not available" when i try to make a call. i found some links over internet about the root cause of this issue is IMEI is reset to default 004999010640000/07. I also could not restore the backup of nv_data.bin files as the backup file size is also zero bytes. Kindly help me out in restoring my IMEI number .
Regards,
Ravi
I have the same problem.
My IMEI has changed when i flashed it with GB 2.3.5. I got that same IMEI too.
I hope there's someone out there who could help us.

Hello guys, I am kinda experienced with flashing roms and stuff since I owned galaxy s2 for over a year. However I bought a second hand galaxy S3 one month ago and it has a turkish firmware however when I tried and installed a new rom everything seems to work find except the network service all i see is a circle and has no service and i tried many roms even jelly bean rom (which worked fine with my friend's S3) even i installed the same exact firmware that i had when i got the phone with the same kernel but got nothing :/ then i took it to where i bought it and he told me i can not install any rom on it and just the one i had on it then he took it for like an hour and it was working again... but its really bothering me! what's wrong? i want to install jelly bean or cyanogenmod but afraid to lose the service again i read its something related to radio or stuff? so any help please?? and here is a screenshot of my kernel and rom..
I think you might want to flash different modems and see what works best for you

One search before posting and read the faqs and guides before not after flashing .
Two it requires you to restore your backed up EFS as per the faqs and guides .
Not read the faqs and guides and no backed up EFS then you require a service centre .
#But you can try a factory reset and flash stock rom first .

Hello to all of you 'the valuabe and intelligent' xda members.....
Today i am requesting some of your advice......
Friends every time i install any custom rom on my galaxy ace 5830i my IMEI is undetectable to settings and hence resulting in no sms and voice calls whereas internet is working fine.
In settings IMEI is unknown and *#06# has IMEI blank but apps like GalaxyToolbox can detect IMEI and hence showing the correct one .
So basically i wanted to ask you that is there is something in /system responsible for that may be build.prop. I really dont know the reason hope you can help me.
And also i am on stock kernel
Did you read this first?

Flash a custom kernel first and flash the new Rom ..
And Build.prop has nothing to do with IMEI number ..
Happy flashing

I tried to flash a stock rom via odin but there's the same problem.
Imei is still fine.
I flashed 4.1.2 with modems and it works now. but i cant flash 4.3 without get this error? WHY?!
the whole stroy is: I changed IMEI in laboratory (they changed it to s2 imei, if this is important), because the Imei didn't work and after that I was trying reflash the SAME rom (HD Revolution) with full wipe and then get this network error.
What I tried:
reflash HD Revolution 51.0 with network error then flashed MG4 Modem that downloaded from somewhere then flashed zuluman patch and get null imei.
flashed stock 4.3 via odin>rooted>flashed custom 4.1.2(Gorgoid rom)+modems (XXDME4, DDEMG2)-didnt work>flashed MG4 Patch again>works.
How can I flash a 4.3 rom without get problems? I'M SICK OF IT!
*sorry for bad english, but pls need ur help guys i cant stick with 4.1.2 :S
