[Q] no service after installing ROM

hi guys
I had CM10 and all worked fine.
I wanted to change to a different ROM and wiped EVERYTHING and installed MIUI ROM. I didnt liked it at all and switched to Pardus HD RoM
™ FINAL 4.1.2 ReMastered (12.09.13) - I noticed it did something with my modem during installation.
I didnt liked it too - and installed Omega v48.1 (4.2.2) which I think I do like.
BUT....
I noticed I dont have signal.
I do have WIFI. I checked my IMEI and it is OK but serial number is 000000000
I tried ARIZA patch but it didnt worked.
I tried to install a different modem - no help.
i tried to Install stock rom - I cant. installation fail.
going back to CM10 is ok but no signal, IMEI is 0049 and serial is unknown.
Please help me gain a signal again.
PLEASE I BEG YOU, read the sticky threads. Read general > sticky roll-up > imei /efs.
This has all been asked before. This has all been answered before. Same post 15 times a day. Its getting ridiculous

Are you even on the right baseband? Mg4? Did you try the pre-patched baseband by zuluman linked in the ariza thread? If so, send your device for repair. All covered in the thread!

Its all documented. If you're not willing to put the effort to find the fix, even when I told you exactly where it was, then no one is going to spoon feed you. Want to be spoon fed? Join an android help forum. This is a developers forum and everyone here who wants help is expected to want to learn and be able to follow instructions. If this isn't you, you're in the wrong forum.
The problem with sone people is they expect "flash this" as an answer and are in too much of a rush to read. They skim things or don't bother reading properly.
Fact is, if you'd have read my thread before flashing roms, your phone would still work. If you had followed my thread now, you would understand and if you'd followed my directions properly, you'd have a working phone. But this is too much for the impatient.
Basically, don't flash your phone if you can't be bothered to understand why it broke or how to fix it

and last thing
i know you tired from answering the same thing over and over again.
but if so many people asking it again and again - it means something.
maybe the info is confusing, maybe it is not clear enough
and maybe you can just take a deep breath and just help instead of behaving like this.
im a manager of a forum too... i know what you mean... but when i see a person really in a trouble and confused - i help him.
and yes.... i know the search in this thread... try you to search zuluman in this thread and find an answer.

Yep cwm recovery flash. You cant have MA anything thogh. The link I gave is MG4. You cannot go older than MG2....
There is also another post in that thread where someone else claims to have patched an MH1 baseband. Its later than the post I gave you the link to.... I forget his name. Only a few pages after
ok... thanks...
its good i saw your link to the MG...
so i installed it in recovery mode. after installing it - rebooted... and now -
imei: unknown
serial number is long number - i guess it is ok.
no signal - before that i had a signal bar but no registered to a carrier.
now i have a circle and when going to mobile networks - i get message: insert sim card. (my sim is inserted)

Do you have any EFS backup (from preferably before flashing Pardus)? or at least before flashing Ariza patch initially?
If not, best bet is to flash latest stock official MG4 ROM (or newer) completely unroot (resetting flash counter etc) and take to a mobile repair shop. Any will do. They will be able to re-write your EFS partition for v ery little money (£20 UK price) and then you can start again and have no serial / IMEI issues.
I think in your case this is the easiest thing to do.
Although, try maybe flash standard MG4 modem from my imei therad (without patch) to see if serial stays and IMEI comes back. Or the MH1 linked later in ariza thread.
i have a friend that have a cell lab.
i will go to him tomorrow and fix this.
i dont want patches and stuff... he rooted my phone before and he will fix it for me...
thanks anyway...

Return To Stock No Signal

I returned to stock due to Omega v49 breaking my signal. I still have no signal. I have no idea why. I have no idea on what to do.
Edit: It shows the right access point. No signal. It also comes up with an error when trying to update.
Most common cause of signal issues recently is the efs format change, check if your imei number matches the one under the battery.
Imei numbers do not match. I'm not good with this sort of thing. Efs not working either. Is that it? Nothing else I can do? Tried searching but xda search comes up with nothing helpful.

Have a read of the sticky in general forum 'efs know this stuff'.
Usually installing an EMG modem and kernel will solve the issue, or restoring your backup of the efs folder if you need an earlier modem.
Edit: Hah! The author of that sticky beat me to it!

1) You can only not post on dev section with less than 10 posts. You can post in general just fine. In fact, you posted this thread in general (which was the wrong place actually, questions go in Q&A, except IMEI questions, which go in my thread )
2) Your question is not different in any way. If you take the time to read the thread I suggested you read, you would know that.

You are contradicting yourself here. If your IMEI was 0049 then you did have an EFS / IMEI problem. My thread explains WHY and also WHAT you must do to keep your IMEI correct, so it answers all your questions.

No you didn't Samsung did. Get you're phone to a working state and bkup up you're efs with ktool. It's a must do thing to bkup you're efs folder. And for mg4 modem... you have to stick with that for now. You need to read more :thumbup:
