Dids your baseband and imei disappear as a result of you repairing the screen ? Have you tried to flash a stock rom via odin?

[Q] IMIE Missing

Afternoon all.
I need some help. I have been searching forums all day trying to find a solution to my problem, but I'm just getting more confused. So please, if there is someone out there that can help, I would be grateful.
Bit of background. Yesterday, my phone was working correctly and when I went to make a call later in the day I had no network. When I tried to check the network settings, it stated "Insert SIM card to access network services".
When I checked Settings>About device the Baseband version is listed at "Unknown"
I read somewhere to try *#06#, which I did and it shows IMEI/MEID "null / null"
My phone is a Galaxy S2 GT-I9100 on UK Vodafone network, the rest of the phone info is as follows:
Android version: 4.1.2
Baseband version: Unknown
Kernel Version: 3.0.31 - 462349 [email protected] - 111 #3 SMP PREEMPT Tue Nov 6 02:42:23 KST 2023
Build Number: JZO54K.I9100XXlSJ
I have already tried the following:
1. Removed battery, waited 10 minutes, rebooted - Failed.
2. Wiped data and factory reset - Failed.
3. Installed a completely new version of 4.1.2 from HERE - Failed.
4. I have also tried my SIM card in my misses GT-I9100 and it works fine, so it's a handset issue.
I am at a loss of what else to try.
Can ANYONE help me, please!!!
Thanks in anticipation.
Pete.
If you've never 'messed with' the phone (rooted it or run non-stock firmware), send it in for warranty service if your warranty is still good. Trying something that could potentially bork that warranty & end up costing you money isn't worth it, and there's a fair chance they wouldn't work anyway unless you had an EFS backup which you wouldn't have if you've never rooted your phone.

The rom you linked to is the older leaked pre-public version of Sammy JB. You should try flashing the latest final public version from here.
You need to flash another modem ... Tell me if it works or not
Or try this

I have the same problem with me & I also tried the above methods but failed every time I also changed the sim slot but failed

[Q] [I9070] Unable to call/receive calls and send/receive messages.

Hello everyone. Today I was in the middle of sms conversation and suddenly I realised that my phone lost it's ability to send messages as well as calling/receving calls.
Here is info about my phone:
Model/firmware:
Currently flashed rom: I9070XXLQB_I9070OXXLQB_HOME.tar.md5
Model number: GT-I9070
Android version: 4.1.2
Baseband version: I9070XXLQB
Kernel version: 3.0.31-66490; [email protected] #2; SMP PREEMPT Tue Feb 15:52:28; KST 2013
Build number: JZQ54K.I9070XXLQB
Network information:
Network: T-Mobile.pl
Signal strenght: -79 dBm 17 asu
Mobile network type: EDGE
Servise state: In service
Mobile network state: Connected
My phone number: unknown
Offline mode is obviously off.
APN matches network.
*#06# shows correct IMEI.
I searched an answer on xda and did everything that you advised (flashing another rom, factory resets, swapping SIM card, removing battery for 15 mins, etc.). Only thing that I haven't done is flashing modem, because I don't know if I can flash it on i9070.
Ask anything, I propably forgot to tell you about something.
Bump.
Please help me guys, I'm very desperate.
Is the phone number unknown so you won't display it in forum ? I wouldn't think it should say unkown. Also, maybe check the smsc number and make sure its right.

Try flashing modem.bin or whole new firmware once again of Samsung through Odin...hope it helps you...
@custom-tisto
It literally says unknown. SMSC number is also correct.
@Shrihari007
I had tested few roms from sammobile.com. It didn't help
And just to make it clear- phone works perfectly fine, except of any sort of "phone" service. I'm worried that it could mean some kind of hardware problem

so the kernel says to me, you arent rooted or are you ?
did you try a firmware from sammobile ?
get a firmware from sammobile and connect your phone via usb and go to download mode
flash it via Odin3 v3.04, drop the one file to PDA
I am rooted and the firmware i am using is 4.0.4 nordic.

[Q] Restricted access changed - MT6575 S4 Clone

Hi,
I purchased a MT6575 S4 Clone from abroad.
I noticed that with supplied IMEI number restricted access changed message would appear and there would be no connection to my UK mobile network.
Afters pending numerous hours researching and failed attempts to change to change from GSM to WCDMA only - even using apps such as mobileuncle etc.
I changed the IMEI number to another S4 clone I purchased and this appeared to have temporarily resolved the problem.
It connected to my UK mobile network and the phones voice calls etc worked.
However 24 hours later I noticed that every 3 minutes or so it would revert back to restricted access changed message and no network and then back again to the mobile network.
I don't want to have to keep entering new IMEI numbers every 24 hours or so for the mobile to work.
Although I noticed the other S4 clone appears to do something with auto generates new IMEI numbers by itself.
Can someone help me resolve this with a permanent fix please?
I would be willing to install a new firmware etc if basic instructions are provided which include backing up?
Ideally keeping the workable S4 theme and features.
I did briefly try MTKdroidTools and backing up did not appear to work on there.

Help recovering null IMEI on AT&T Samsung S3.

[Not sure if I am in the right spot in XDA. I am still trying to learn how to navigate the forms: p ]
I have a blank IMEI. I was running CM 12.1 and then I went back to the stock ROM thinking that would work. I tried to get into the service mode via the keypad but it's blank. I do not have the proper cables to connect my phone to my PC.
