First of all, this is not my first time flashing a custom rom. I've been using different roms for months. Before this tragedy I was using MIUI as my primary rom and CM10.2 temasek's UNOFFICIAL Build - V10 as my secondary rom with Googy-Max Kernel 1.6.7 installed. Everything works perfectly fine. Yesterday I decided to install Resurrection Remix® v4.0.6 as my secondary rom. During the installation the installer asked me to choose one modem. And I randomly chose one of them. After that I rebooted my phone into secondary rom, but there was only black screen. Then I took out the battery, reboot it into my primary rom. UNFORTUNATELY, THE MOBILE SIGNAL WAS GONE. I tried to flash different modem/baseband and tried everything I can find on the internet. Now the signal shows" Emergency Call Only". I used Odin to restore my phone to stock rom, everything on my internal storage is gone BUT THE SIGNAL IS STILL "Emergency Call Only". The SN is normal (not all 00000000) but imei is wrong. Can someone tell me what the f*** is happening to my phone? Thank you so much! :crying::crying::crying::crying:
Update: I sent my phone to Samsung care. And they said some sort of chip on my phone is broken. And they charge me 200 dollar for replacement! Hell no! Any ideas??

...and the IMEI matches the sticker?
Maybe look on the internal and external sd card for an efs backup. Maybe a rom you flashed took one.

The stupid thing is I didn't know efs before this. And there is a backup. But nothing happened after I restored it. Another thing is the Titanium Backup on my phone became a free version. It should be a premium one. Does that mean I lost my efs? Then how come I still got the correct IMEI and SN?
Well if your imei is intact what's the fuss ? stick to the newer base bands

hi can someone close this thread issue has been sorted flashed ee stock rom and got imei back lol
thanks though
wait a minute thats not a good sign, So your saying that you lost your Imei and that QCN backup did not work?
The only thing that worked was flashing a stock rom back... this is not in the guide lol HMMmmmmm
I am just thinking why that QPST tool would not work when it should of or shouldnt it, did you use it correctly??? Can you try do the same thing as you did before and see if it you are able to restore it over your imei now? If it works now then maybe it wont work if theres no IMEI when thats the time we really need it to work.....Maybe Lyriquidperfection can comment?
ChwadKs can you try that QPST tool again and do EXACTLY what you did when you lost your imei. If it doesnt work AGAIN then thats a good sign for us as then it must be something wrong on your end or Hopefully you did it wrong which is why it didnt work. But if you do the exact same thing again but this time it works, then it may be a bad sign for us

Messing up partitions can cause adverse effects like phone not being detected in QPST. Don't worry backups do work.

Don't get too excited about ROMS. It's not just partition locations to think about but the hardware differences such as the extra ram and the Qualcomm modem.

Try looking at the RIL. I9300 uses the Samsung RIL but the I9305 uses the Qualcomm RIL. So you will need to alter the Rom to reflect this and you will get baseband back!

hey guys,
sorry to hijack the thread. I have a i9300 with the exynos processor so all the qualcomm leg works to restore the imei are a no go for me.
Is there a way I could fix it? (imei unknown)
I did the same. Thinking I was being smart and not looking into it properly flashed with i9300 and not i9305 and now I have no IMEI. Searched everywhere and cant find a solution. If any one can help out with a solution, I would greatly appreciate it.
I have re-flashed several times, back to original and back to root and still null IMEI.

use app from market HC-kTool it will do everything you need. but once is lost you are pretty much ****ed
As you have a habit of breaking stuff and no warranty .
You would be best finding a non samsung phone repair shop .
But first just try a factory reset.

Re
Hey,
I tried everything my EFS was already away before i flashed and rooted.
So i wasnt able to do a backup.
And if i flash JB (Stock,CM everything tried) it stuck on BootLogo Factory reset did already but didnt worked.

You cannot use Kies or OTA to update and will have to flash updates via Odin .
You may have no network connection with no IMEI but phone should work as Not A Phone .

Hello
I've only just flashed my Samsung galaxy ace GT-S5830i with jellyblast 3.0.3. ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1976674 ) Everything went fairly smoothly and now I have an almost fully working jelly bean 4.1.1 install.
Unfortunately, I can't connect to my Network Operator which is Tesco Mobile in the UK.
If I go to " Settings > Wireless & network settings > Mobile networks > Network Oporators" jelly been searches for available networks and comes back with a few options, one being O2, which I think tesco uses. But when I select O2, the phone says that my sim card does not allow connection to the network.
So... my question is, how can I connect to Tesco mobile network if the option is not available in the options provided?
You don't have Jelly Bean 4.1 on your phone, let alone fully working

I thought the imei number was hard coded. meaning, part of the hardware. is that not the case?
What does loosing the imei mean?
Ok, so the imei number was stored in the EFS folder right? and if I haven't backed that up, then i guess i'm screwed?
If that is the case then I guess the only option is to take the phone back completely bricked?
Is there any other way I can correct this problem?

Lol. Thats a nice way to get rid of this phone...and buy a new one if you are out of your warranty period. You will get your imei number back....just flash any stock rom through odin again. Once you get back on stock...backup your imei number using galaxy toolbox app so that you dont think about crucifing your phone again. ( I wont be surprised even if you want to....because i usually feel like doing that.

I've actually just bought this phone with a new and very cheap contract (what a dooch). Flashing hadn't even crossed my mind 2 days ago when I got it. If only I'd known what I now know, I definitely wouldn't have got this particular phone, seems as though its a real pain for everyone.
Thanks for your tips by the way.
I've downloaded the stock firmware from sammobile.com for this phone, will the combination of restoring the imei, backing it up like you say and flashing with sammobile's rom be enough to restore the original setup?
If so, I might use the 14 day grace period to change my mind about this phone and get a slightly more flashable one.

I sorted the phone by putting the stock firmware back on, deleting offending files and unrooting it. I then went back to the shop and swapped it for a Galaxy S II GT-I9100 (wohooo what a phone!)
I will be rooting it at some point but I have to be sure I can do it without problems.

I will be rooting it at some point but I have to be sure I can do it without problems.
Thanks again

Well, you surely should have a look at these:

I'm pretty sure anything that concerns this thread will be already answered in there.
These are also useful, and a must read (before any sort of flashing, any ROM download page will indicate so):

In the last thread, especially this:
Provide details - ALWAYS tell us exactly what happened if you are requesting help. Always describe in detail what is happening.
"Flashed my phone now it doesn't work" is useless information.
"I rooted my phone 3 months ago and flashed a custom ROM. I decided today to flash ROM X from recovery Y. I booted into recovery and flashed from my internal SD card. I rebooted the phone and it is not starting up. It is looping at the boot animation" is GOOD information. We need to know What, when, how. We need to know if you followed a guide and which one (links where possible)

Hello everyone, I have a serious problem. I use my GT-i9300 international version with CM10.1. so far, so good. The problem started after I flashed omega rom 46.1 (4.2.2) and once a 5-6 hours the signal dropped dead. I thought it was modem Incompatibility, so I flased different kind of modems + RIL. nothing helped so I did a nandroid restore back to cm10.1. Unfortunately, the problem did not disapear. every once in a while, every day, the phone suddenly lose signal.sometimes it comeback to life by itself, or I reboot the phone and the signal is back. I have tried different modems, this time no RIL (cuz of cm10.1) , and nothing have changed. I just want to say that I do have the correct IMEI number. I flashed Ariza patch and it didn't help.
Is this a carrier problem ? because 6 months earlier with the same carrier -had no problems.
Please, I would be thankfu if someone can help me.
Could be carrier. Could be sim card. Maybe return to stock to rule out software

Sorry I missed the SV part.
