hi there all - just bought an s3 from someone on gumtree - tried it with couple of different simcards and it worked fine... it had ics on it (csc xxale8) so i though i will change it to jellybean - so following a guide here i have downloaded stock firmware BTU (UK generic) and flashed it using odin. than put a sim in and boot and it asks me for sim network unlock code... any idea what is going on?
FYI i have reset the flash counter before flashing the rom and wiping data and cache
any help?
Some older methods of simlock break after flash. Also latest releases, non of these methods work anyone (the free methods).
I'd imagine you need to buy an unlock code now. If you do, get one that will refund you if it fails
_
I'm assuming you've flashed mg4

You root it before flash?
You make a EFS backup before flash?
Did you already check what imei shows your phone with *#60#
thanks both!
yeah flashed mg4
the ics installed when i bought it was already rooted
i have not backed up EFS prior to flash but rooted and backedup EFS after flashing JB
I have checked the IEMI before flashing which corresponds to the IMEI on the box
any one can recommend an unlocker which will guarantee unlocking or money back?
I think cellunlocker can help you but, if you already have a backup of your EFS folder try to flash others modem here in xda is an mg4 especially to work with all roms, a few days ago I try it because cyanogenmod roms have no signal and after flash that modem it love because give signal to all roms, you don't loose nothing try, before spend money.

Forget modems. This cannot help you now. You need to continue your search for a recommended unlock code provider.
I have the file but I can't post it try to find XXEMG4 modem patched, in the Web or xda developers, if no work, get the code. and remember create a backup of your EFS.

Patched modem is for Serial number 00000000 issue. It is not for anything else.
Like I have already said multiple times, there is only one option.

My czn galaxy s2 is working perfectly has xwlpd 4.03 except he detects sim but shows no service for sim...
plzzz help me...
i will be very thankful to u.........
Hi!
Since you are new here, it might be the best time for you to read the forum rules just to get you informed.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/announcement.php?a=81 check it out!
1. try inserting your sim in another phone, if you find a signal in the other phone, then there might be something wrong with the s2..
if there is still no signal, then it is a network related problem and call your network operator
2. if you find a signal in the other phone and not in your s2, then you must flash a modem..
DEFINITION:
*Modem/Radio/Baseband is all the same thing and can be seen by going to Settings - About Phone - Baseband. It's basically a driver which receives and sends Mobile Network signals as well as handling switching between GPRS, 3G, HSDPA etc....... (but not WiFi connection, that and switchover between Mobile Network and WiFi is handled by the kernel). Reasoning as to why Modem has no influence on WiFi can be found in this post by Entropy - http://<b>http://forum.xda-developer...count=6556</b>
USAGE:
*There is no one "Best" modem for everybody. Unfortunately you actually have to try to find the modem which works perfectly for you on performance, strength and battery drain levels. The good thing is that from my lengthy 8 month experience with Galaxy S2, I'm happy to report that there are a few modems that seem to perform well geographically for most users. These modems are KE7, KH3, KI3, KI4, KL1, LPS, NEKF2, NELP2 & NELP3.
COMPATIBILITY:
*Modems do not need to be matched up with firmware like it's done with ROMs and Kernels. For example, a KI4 modem can be used with a KL1 ROM and the other way round. The only thing you need to pay attention to is what model your SGS2 is. 9100 and 9100 modems are compatible across both models. However, 9100 model and US variants are not cross compatible since the devices are designed to work on different bands.
INSTALLATION:
*I will add a flashing guide to post number 5 soon, hence why it says "Work in progress.....". For the moment I suggest asking Mr. Google to do a search for you. Bottom line is, for CWM packaged modems you need to be rooted and have a working CWM recovery (flash the CWM modem zip within recovery). For .TAR packages, all you need to do is flash it while your device is in Download Mode and connected to ODIN. The .TAR file should be selected in the PHONE field. Don't touch anything else.

did.. even used efs pro to try to fix... imei is correct the same as on the box. only serial number changed... strange thing is that i can locate find networks that are available in my area but i cant connect to mine...
Basics that you may haqve already tried are
IMEI then Modem then CSC
Manual setting of APN for mobile network can be used for wrong CSC .
Faulty Sim is another on the list .

tried all above.. only thing is that i cant change csc * # 272 * # imei aint working.. not registered to network is my msg..
apn are correct as i flashed stock form sam firmware. so i dont know..
sim - i used 4 dif no luck.. all are working on other device..
what makes me worried is the serial number, that is preventing my phone to get connected i believe
so here we are... IMEI is corrupted - i was noob and i just quick checked the number on box and under the battery, but after further inspection i have spoted difference between the imei in d phone and the actual on casing / box. so its corrupted. thats why i am unable to register to network.
somehow it get corrupted during the flashing process... so now i will try to restore the imei from the scratch... i am not sure if i iwll be able to perform such a thing but i will try my best.. any tips wil be apreciated.

its amazing how people still think.. just get over it and read my story.. _--->my phone was purchased by me in vodafone store, after one week i cracked the screen ... fall off my pocket. no warranty anymore. now i wanted flash cm9 due to flash player was needed and my imei is lost.. its a generic now 004..... so i am screwed. i need someone with some knowledge and feelings for such a mistake like this.
I know what you are going through, my first droid lost the imei the first day I bought it, no warranty.
So far I haven't seen anyone solve this problem. Did you back up the imei? There is a post from someone who said they are trying to fix it and would post their results. Another user has had some idea of how to fix it, I'll try and link his post.
Really feel bad for you, it's made me stick to stock until i see some development concerning these losses.

You need to provide details of what modem you are on.....I'd your imei starts 0049.....and it looks like it does, then you have probably at some time had one of the new format modems, so you need that (probably MG4) to get your imei back, unless you have a back up of it which I doubt.

No you will need proof of ownership and a Samsung repair centre .
Check first did your custom rom backup efs
there is no any efs folder.
what should i do?
did you try to flash an emg2 or emg4 baseband? some have reported that this can restore network connection
i didnt try it yet,

ariza patch is for serial no not imei.it does not help withj the new modems and may actually make things worse.
i tried to flash alot of roms so far, nothing helped.
the problem is the the devide was bought outside the country and there are no service center for that device..

Hi,
It's likely that when you updated, the EFS format changed. All you need to do is to update the Radio/Baseband.Modem of your device.
Since I'm new around here, I'm not allowed to post links. Try replacing the hxxp with http.
hxxp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2393289
See point number 2 of that post, download the EFS2 compatible modem and flash it with Odin.
