Hello guys,
I`ve been watching all this topics for a while cuz I have some problems with my Galaxy S3. I`ll tell you what i did.
All worked fine, had the 4.1.1 official rom + root, then i wanted to go to 4.1.2 so i flashed an UK stock ROM. After that i kept getting the "Sim has been removed" error need restart bla bla.. so i search all around for a fix.. i changed 2 SIM cards and nothing. Then I flashed a Poland version 4.1.2 Stock. That version was better but I encountered the "Call ended" error.. calls would end after 3-4mins or i could not call at all. Then i flashed (and this is when the problem started) Stock Vodafone Spain and got "No network". I must say my IMEI/ SN all are intact.
Then I patched only radio modem from the UK ROM with Odin, but with "PHONE" option (i know i did wrong).. i wanted to change only the modem and it worked cuz i checked with *#1234#.. but from that moment not even one ROM has worked in showing me the network. On About phone says "Network: Unknown". Sometimes it connects to Vodafone but when I try to call says "No network service".
Now my phone is in second service and they can`t make it get a network on. They tryed the neverlock thing but i think was already unblocked.
I tryed rooting and using this Ariza. and were 2 versions there.. I tryed v5 only and didnt worked.
I tried the ##72786# and I get the following message: Connection Problem or invalid MMI code (found somewhere that for this code i need to have Wifi on to work?)
Now i`m thinking to get my phone back and dunno reflash with a good .pit file ? or just reRoot and try v4 Ariza.. I`m really sad, it`s been 5 days and I can`t think on nothing else to do.. I even called Samsung official service and they said to send it to them.
If you have any idea, pls need help. tnx
Check your IMEI is the same as under the battery .
Samsung will reject warranty .

you are right.. IMEI and SN are not the same.. pff what to do now?
Restore your backed up EFS folder.
jje
But i think i backed up the EFS folder with the modified IMEI. What can i do now?
nothing. replace the motherboard
SOLVED!
Ok so tnx to JJEgan i checked all the IMEI numbers and only 2 of them were modified. Thing is before I pached the v5 Ariza, I did a EFS backup with that program. That backup img saved my phone.
Firstly I got my phone back from service with 4.2.1 official ROM (thats nice, cost me 0 $ ). I rooted with CF-Auto and used Ariza patch (v4). But my imei was still wrong so after that I used EFS_Backup_Restore_new_ADB.rar to restore my IMEI/SN with the old EFS backup then I used another programEFS Professional v2.0. I checked the option to repair No network and clicked Restore. After that I restarted my phone and I got the messages from provider with APN settings and so on.
Thank you for the help :good:
worked till first restart... now No network again, I`m not a samsung/android fan anymore..

helo,
i am using samsung galaxy s2 GT-i9100
i flashed cm9 before and then i flashed samsung europe stock.
and now i see, my imei number has been changed.
can anyone help me to revert or change imei again!
Problem i am facing:
1.) call , message not allowed. (Gprs is working fine)
when i call, it says error "Mobile network not available"
i think its becuase my imei is changed to some europe imei now.
i want to get my real imei back , to make calls etc.
so, can u suggest me things to do?
did you make any efs backup? if you did then just restore if not... then it will be really difficult... there is few threads about it around somewhere in this forum ( seen it few times ) use search and i wish you good luck
ps. next time install ktool from hellcat and backup efs

My GS2 suddenly got stuck in flightmode did a hard reset now shows no service!!!
has no baseband what should i do
I've not rooted my phone neither used any custom rom's please help
Thanking in anticipation
If you've not rooted your phone nor flashed any custom firmware on it, best bit of advice I can give you is send it in for warranty service. You risk losing your warranty if you try many of the 'fixes' on here.
If you do try these & they don't work, you'll end up paying to have your phone fixed, whereas now you should be able to have it fixed under warranty.
hello,
unfortunately it's past warranty period, what do you suggest now?
thanks
Since your out of warrenty then you could give this a try:-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
Look for XWKF3
and download the correct firmware for your region.
Follow the instructions given on the same page to install it.
[Edit].. Power off then go into recovery first and data/factory reset before installing firmware..( 3 button combo(volume up-home-power)) to get into recovery.

Only you know why no IMEI in regards to the past firmware on your phone . Crystal ball not working today .
No baseband possibly you never flashed modem.
IMEI restore your backed up EFS no backup try factory restore .
That fails service centre .

from the phone pad dial *#06#
This will give you your IMEI Number
If the number is 004999010640000
then this is the fake IMEI that is assigned to the phone if the nv_data.bin file is messed up.

If its a different number
Then remove the battery and check the underside of the phone
your IMEI number is written here...Does it match!!
If stiil not working then it needs to go into the service centre
Did you flash a modem? Do it. If you don't see the baseband still try this:
Airplane mode ON. Power off, take out battery for 5 minutes. Put it back. power on. Airplane mode off.
no i"ve not flashed the modem, it's got NO iMEI
thanks all for your time.
Flashed my phone with latest Lite'ning Rom, everything is fine now.
I hope you've backed up your EFS stuff.

Could you tell me where you got your lightning ROM from and how you did it? I am facing the same problem and tried flagging xwke8 and xwkf3 but both didn't work.
Thanks,

I'm having the exact same problem..... please advice!
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?

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 there!
Ive read all I could and despite coming across several similar problems, haven't found an answer (so if anyone has an idea, plz help!)
I'll try to be as concise as possible:
I have a message that says: not registered on network
I have a China Unicom galaxy S3 (international model, gt-i9300) not copy, original version, bought from service provider store, running forever on android 4.0.4 (no updates available, via kies, or software update whatsoever)
As you know, because it was bought in China, it's blocked from factory settings (no svoice, google play, among others and of course a reduced overall functionality and an alarmingly high used of RAM despite of every app being closed) and even you can download most apps, they're in Chinese and they're different and not completely working versions of them (i.e. fb, skype,...)
Read and read, until managed to do rooting via heimdall (only have mac available), once installed SU, managed to download and install google play, but it kept on crashing, along a previously (VPN only) functioning fb app, and twitter.
After a while of more research I came across odin mobile, and by downloading an international ROM from Hong Kong via Sammobile, managed to install 4.1.2 from HK (I9300OZSEMC1). Despite the now no restriction phone i had, i came across a problem: cannot call or message or use mobile data, only with a message that says " not registered on network"
I did check the sim card, and selected the network manually, without success.
I checked the AP, CP and CSC and they were unknown.
After much frustration i remember i had a backup if the original carrier, and after re-rooting, managed to get back to the super blocked version of it, bu t the problem remained: not registered on network.
I checked again the ap, cs and csc and now are back to factory default (just like they were before all this odyssey began).
I changed the sim card to my gf's iphone and it works there, just not on the galaxy....
I repeated the above two times more, using roms from HK, Taiwan and UK..... same problem, even when going back.
Any ideas? I'm quite desperate now
thanks!!!
Is your IMEI the same as under the battery .
If not restore your backed up EFS folder.
No backup = service centre .
Do you have the correct modem and CSC for your network .

yes, imei is the same
before doing all the process, i verified and saved screen captures of how it was before and after, both pictures coincide, but still nothing...
(what is EFS folder? , i've done this with little knowledge on the topic, so i've no idea what's that ^^"
I guess service centre might help, but well, since this is China... i expect the worst.

I'm assuming you may have changed the modem during the flashing of the HK fw, try finding a Chinese Modem and flashing that. TBH this is why people tell you to read and read again before rooting and flashing custom roms.
Hey Guys;
A month ago my phone died on me. After a 1 month hassle of the company trying to dodge doing repair the phone on the warranty, they finally gave up.
They replaced the motherboard and when I got it, it gave me zero bars and no network. I took it back and they returned back with a different rom but it was working. The first was some samsung s3 in arabic version rom. The second was a chinese samsung s3 rom. Since I couldn't get arabic keyboard I decided to flash super nexus rom but now I have zero bars and no network showing.
The hardware specs are in the attachments.
Any idea how to fix it?
Stock reply
IMEI correct
Modem correct
CSC correct ??

Imei: unknown
Imei sv: unknown
Baseband: unknown
Can't find PDA, CSC and modem?
Looking at different posts. Tried Ariza patch didn't work. Am assuming I only need to set the imei to get a network. But what am I to set it to?

You cannot set an IMEI .
You either have a backed up EFS folder you can restore or its a service center repair .
Can't find PDA, CSC and modem? either you are clueless or its more than just IMEI is a problem .
Suggest you flash a stock rom for your area via odin from sammobile.com .
Fails then its a service centre .

I am a bit clueless, nut when I had the S3 before it died and had its motherboard replaced. I would press *#1234# to get the pda and modem and csc or you can get them in the about area. But now with the super nexus rom if i press the code it gives " no mobile network" and it does not show in the about area.
I didn't back up the EFS. This problem was present as I said before when I got it back from the in the service center they had a rooted middle east stock rom and it showed no service, they took it back, I thought the reason was loose wiring. And when I got it back it had a rooted Chinese stock rom which was able to connect to the network. The previous Original motherboard had an unrooted African stock rom, they also cheated me by giving me a 16gb motherboard instead of 32gb.
Tried to flash chinese stock rom via odin and got fail. now it will only go to download mode anything less it gives a yellow triangle.
You need a service centre but you have no warranty .
