Hello I have a big problem, after I installed a new and updated ROM my phone won't work on any carrier, so here's what happened:
1.I had the ROM FoxHound_Sniper_Wolf_LPD_ICS_GSII_By_SnakeS and it worked great until the GPS started failing so I decided it was time for a change (until now the phone was working flawlessly with carriers and such)
2.I first tried to install the ROM ParanoidAndroid 3+ ROM Galaxy S2 but I forgot to do a wipe first and then I wiped the phone and re-installed the ROM and it still didn't work.
3.I installed WanamLite Clean & Fast JB 4.1.2 v14.3 without errors until I tried to turn on data networking (I had my APN setup by then) and it didn't turn on so I tried calling and this would pop up:"Not registered on network".
4.I try to fix the problem by going to network providers and selecting my network provider and it said: "Unable to connect, try later", so I try selecting the automatic setting and it gave me the same error, so I kept pressing the select automatically setting until it said: "Registered on network" so I try to call again and still gives me the same error "Not registered on network".
5.I try to go back to my old ROM (FoxHound_Sniper_Wolf_LPD_ICS_GSII_By_SnakeS) and it still gave me the error "Not registered on network".
6.I also tried some other ROMs: RR_JB_V3.1.3_AOKP_4.2.1_I9100 and RootBox-JB-i9100-V4.1 and the phone still won't work.
7.I go back to the WanamLite Clean & Fast JB 4.1.2 but this time it's v14.6
PS:it says "emergency calls only" in the drop down menu
info:
county: Israel
carrier: Golan Telecom
phone status: I got it unlocked from the company Cellcom
Network mode: GSM/CDMA (Auto mode)
ROM: WanamLite Clean & Fast JB 4.1.2
Galaxy sII GT-1900T
SSN:-I900TGSMH
Can anyone help me with this please?

I tried flashing another modem and the problem is still happening, I don't know what imei or efs mean and also nothing works on the phone not the data nor the sms or the calling
it says emergency calls only
Go to phone settings and then about phone then phone status look down that bit you will see imei. Is it 0000000? Galaxynoob lol what a name.

No thank you. Is it second hand phone? How long have you had it? Seems like imei is ok unless its blocked. So you have flashed modem it had before you flashed roms yes? Have you tried going bk to stock firmware?

Hey man I tried this fix: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17587351
and when I did step 3 it was fixed but now I have the generic imei (004999010640000)
all you had to do was checking your IMEI online to see if it was blocked listed.
You now ended up with a generic IMEI.
You followed the first 3 steps right?
Please tell me you backed up the EFS folder.

I followed this guide ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ihFRsquw_8E&feature=g-hist&context=G2816d54AHT2JnXgAAAA) to get the official ICS update.
I know the update was for Nordic countries and I live in Sweden so I flashed it through odin.
Now I can't make phone calls, send text messages or connect to my 3G network.
I asked the uploader and he said "Go in to recovery mode and wipe cache and factory reset" so I did.
The phone then started up in Polish and the problems were still there.
Can anyone help?
Try entering AP settings.
Have you checked for service, do you see your imei number in 'About Phone'?

Have you backed up your EFS folder before flashing?
What you have is a standard IMEI, meaning, that IMEI is for phones that are displayed on stores.
First, try re-flashing the package. If that doesn't work, re-flash only the modem.
If even that doesn't work, follow this guide : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1264021

I dont think I have since I don't even know what an EFS folder is
I am going to try all of these.
By the way when you guys (assuming you too have an 19100 and have upgraded to the official ICS rom) press and hold the power button, do you get the menu for silent mode, 3g network, shut down etc or does it just shut down immediately?
My friend have a similar problem too, he got a problem with CSC Unknown and he can't call, text and all phone features....
The real problem where i can find the flashable CSC files because all link are dead

Well... You should ALWAYS backup your /efs folder. Your /efs folder is literally your phone and is what distinguishes a phone from a gaming mini-console
I have that menu, and I'm sitting on LPB, waiting for something more stable LPB...
Always always always backup that damn EFS folder
That imei number is a generic one so you have lost your unique number.
Try this threadhttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1264021
There are others to search for. As a last resort search for odia. He/her has the knowledge to fix it.
Otherwise return for jtag repair.

I'm sorry to hear you lost your IMEI but I hope this will teach you to inform yourself better before doing something like flashing in the future. Anyway simply reflashing the firmware might help it, it certainly helped me twice.
If you get it back make sure you back it up, so you wont have to go through this again.. There are a bunch of apps that can do it for you so it really isnt all that hard.
Anyway, good luck!

Tried reflashing the package, and it doesn't work.
I only have one big (622 mb) .tar.md5 file, should I flash that in the modem?
I am having the exact same problem, although my IMEI number seems fine. By that I mean it is not the generic one previously posted.
I can not connect to my carrier network, or do anything else network related for that matter.
My phone also turns off when I tap the power button once, I do not get that standard menu.
Any suggestions?

Here's the fix: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iY9cDkj4CCw! If it works, make sure to make multiple backups of your efs folder on sd card/pc/drop box etc!! You can view your efs folder using the Root explorer app!! Here's the download link for the kTool fix: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.hellcat.droiddev.ktool&hl=en! Good luck!

First thing first, was it working before? Where did you buy it from. Carriers have start blocking phones that are reported stolen or have balance in the account.
What does it say in settings/about phone/status?
Does that number match the one on the back of the phone under the battery?
Could you please explain what you did to get to this point?
Flashed bad modem?
Deleted /efs folder or contents?
Remote unlock error?

It was working before and its not a carrier block as it does not recognize the sim at all to begin with....

I am not too sure.. i got the phone from a friend who has messed it up...
He said he flashed the bell upgrade from Gb to ICS and this happened.....
I doubt it .... anyhow... couple of other things
the function *#06# shows a null/nunll
*#9090# - shows nothing
*#2263# - shows nothing in service menu
Also, *2767*3855# system format doesnt work either....
Rom is working fine... wireless and internet are all functional....
If i go to adb... i can see the efs folder and other partitions...
Well yeah, the efs folder will be there, is just generated a new one, with a generic imei.
As i said earlier, mobiletechvidoes can fix it, but since everything is working perfectly, and you live in Canada, might wanna just not worry about it?
I read the ota Canada ics update had a bad install script. Just get the zip file and flash that.
too late for that, the "damage" has been done, and he is already running it, flashing the zip won't help now.

So any way i can revive the phone back to life?
Had this happen to me a few times on my sgs1.
Only thing that fixed it was flashing older stock rom through Odin. You can try samfirmware to get it or there is a complete set of stock files here in the forum as well.
Good luck.

I suggest that you Private Message the user.
I'm sure he will provide the answer ...
And I hope he posts here as well, as it would help others like yourself ....g
I'm not sure if this would help at all but it might be worth a shot.It creates TEST IMEI's and other stuff through ADB .Maybe it can even retrieve your actual IMEI somehow? Post back in this thread if anything comes of it so other people with problems can follow .

Here's my fix
I had the same problem with IMEI showing null/null....this happened after I flashed new radio band to get 4g on Tmobile for my AT&T Galaxy note. It appears that I had flashed a zip file for new radio that messes up the IMEI number. I have heard that others have just simply re-flashed their Note using other custom roms that has it's own radio band and IMEI number reappears. I simply used Samsung Kies to force most current factory rom into my Note (search how to do that) and it added factory setting to my Note...including all the AT&T stuff but it did unroot my phone....but it fixed the problem and I got my IMEI back....PM me if you have any questions.
To get to download mode when hooked up to Kies: hold down volume down and power at the same time until download mode comes up. And push volume up button once download screen comes up. Hook the phone up to Samsung Kies and click "Tools" and click "Firmware upgrade and initialization".....enter model using caps "SGH-I717" and enter ok....and enter serial number...using caps....and sit tight and wait...

This flashing stock, did you do it through CWM or ODIN? If you have not tried ODIN yet I would go that route, could just be you need a stock modem.

i am such a tard.. i havent backed up the efs... i did so now after the mess ... i believe there must be someone with tips and a small hope, btw restoring efs make no difference at all, as dont have correct files.
The EFS is fine if you have IMEI, if you have only flashed each ROM once through ODIN you have hope. Try an ODIN flash again. Can you get to recovery to do full wipe first?
Try EFS Pro Here and download to your PC then run it. You will probably need to use your own wireless to get Busybox (free on Play Store) and run it on your phone - if the phone will not go to wireless, DL the files to your PC then copy BB over to the phone in Windows Explorer and run it on the phone.
Then run EFS Pro on your PC (with phone connected by USB, but it will prompt you) and there are a couple of options there to try to see if you can recover things. (NV Recovery and Repair NV Data) - I think the NV Recovery uses info on the phone (.bak file) while repair tries to rebuild the info.
Good luck. Maybe read through the thread first or contact the thread OP if you have questions about EFS Pro processes...

I don't think this will help with the Serial issue, but maybe for the service all you need is the APN/Service info from Vodaphone? Go to [Settings] [More Settings] [Mobile Networks] and check both Access Point Names and Network Operators.
I flashed a ROM and found I had problems so I went to a Telstra page, entered my phone number and it sent me a text with a security code - when I entered that it sent me an install that connected all my services again. Maybe Voda has similar? Or even just a page with APN info?

I flashed a ROM and found I had problems so I went to a Telstra page, entered my phone number and it sent me a text with a security code - when I entered that it sent me an install that connected all my services again. Maybe Voda has similar? Or even just a page with APN info?

apns are correct ,,, first thing i checked.. :L( there is no service logo...
UPDATE---> after flashing 10 roms on Jelly B i can get the reception - MEAN phone find signal - it find networks in options like - vodafone, o2, meteor, 3 but after me choosing vodafone triangle apear and msg "SELECTED NETWORK UNAVAILABLE" ---> the reception is there but phone status is NO SERVICE - i mean somehow i cant get it connected.
guys help me out... i am stucked ... any tips? i am willing to try "almost" everything to make it work.
Beyond what I know so far, sorry. If it was me I'd be making sure I have back-ups of everything I can think of (Data, System, Nandroid, EFS) then I would start from clean phone - wipe everything in recovery, factory reset etc. then load as close as possible to the original Stock for the phone. If that doesn't do it, with official stock and counters etc. I'd go to vendor and ask what gives. I'd start with the service provider and if they can't help, phone vendor, then failing that, Samsung.
Maybe some of the more experienced here can assist otherwise...

well according this forum here i am not the only one, but i am seaking solution.... i need one ..
some people have the phone working even with serial number 000000 so tahts should not be the problem.. my imei is grand ... so dont know..
As the title says i cannot connect my SGS2 to my Mobile Network. No Status in the Top Bar. Connects to WIFI ok.
I have the correct APN settings.
I have flashed the International JB Stock ROM, does the MODEM file need to be from the UK?
I am with o2 and they said to enable packet data but that option isnt listed on the Handset. I think what they mean is 'Mobile Data' which is
ticked.
Sorry if this has already been posted elsewhere...Lots of posts to trawl through.
Thanks for any replies.

It's probably your efs data that got wiped. Hope you've got a backup.
Can you make calls?
Thanks.
No havent got a backup, its a new to me Handset from another person. Yes i can make and receive calls.
I used to have a GT-I9000 so i am pretty clued up on these devices although a little rusty.
Whats that EFS data?
It was on 4.0.4 ICS previous to me flashing via ODIN v1.85.
The efs contains your imei amongst other thing.
Dial *#06# and check your imei matches with the one printed under the battery. If it doesn't then it is your efs data.
Did you make a nandroid before flashing? If so, restore that.
If not, follow this thread to get it sorted. Good luck.

Got excited too soon as i have the Same IMEI. I will try a different SIM Card it may be that, i think its quite old and from another phone a
couple of years ago that was reactivated. Seems a likely candidate although O2 says that everything looks correct on their side.
Any other replies still welcome.
Cheers.
I think losing your efs data without a backup is as bad as it gets so it sounds like good news. You wouldn't have been able to make calls if it was that anyway, but worth crossing that off the list of possibilities.
Is it definately a 3G sim? Other than that I'm out of ideas.

Dude the ROM is not final build so expect some bugs in it:good:
So I got my S3 last night. I've tried to install PureLook ROM but failed. It got stucked at 10%. I rebooted and tried again. It worked this time but now when i try to call or send a text i get this error : "not registered on network". My signal bar is full, but when i try to manually select my mobile network provider it tells me that it has no signal.. I've tried with different ROMS. I pulled the SIM out and rebooted. I've tried my SIM on another phone it works perfectly.. Please HELP!
check your imei is correct. report back. did you make a backup of your working rom before you flashed?

Sadly no . I am new to all this flashing custom roms thing, and I didn't do that. A friend told me afterwards that I should have.
To be fair, if you read up on everything before flashing. You would have made a backup. I was a noob once too but I backed up my efs!

would i be being insensitive if i said "yes you can recover it from your backup"?
AFAIK, you can repair it only if you have a backup. (someone with far more knowledge than I may know otherwise)
