[Q] after installing custom rom sim card stopped working please help - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i do not know what have i done to my mobile... it is an international model i purchased it from canada. it was not locked to any carrier.
my android version was 4.1.2
yesterday i installed custom rom to my mobile with the help of odin3.
when i reboot my sim card stopped working.. i can not make calls.. my mobile does not ask for any code.. it can read messages stored on sim but no network.. is it because of custom rom? what should i do?
i do not know what is wrong... please help me..

You should have read the basics and guides before you flashed, also backed up your efs folder. You might be able to resolve the problem if you read the thread efs 'know this stuff' over in the general forum, sticky threads.

You now need a service repair as you have no EFS backup.
But as you say sim card not working then get a new sim card .

thank you so much for your reply.. my IMEI number is changed and my sim card is not working.. can u please tell me if IMEI number is fake (as mine right now) what problems can occur?? if i dont get original IMEI what can go wrong??

[Q] Need HELP "No Network Available" in Samsung Galaxy SII

Dear Sir(s),
I am facing problem in Samsung Galaxy s2 which is as follows:
I have a Open Sim Samsung Galaxy S2 (Indian Market) which I had upgraded to 2.3.5 unofficially from Samfirmware.com. After that I root it & upgrade too many times but all of sudden I am unable to make calls from it then I change the Sim card but the facing same problem, I cant understand the problem. Then at last I downgrade with I9100XXKI3 but problem is still as it is..
so please help me..
Dial *#06# and check see if your IMEI is ok.
Yep, check IMEI as above. If it is different, it may need to be returned to Samsung for repair.... There are a few threads in XDA on EFS folder being corrupted, and this is where the IMEI info is stored. Some may have had success repairing, bit most I've heard have restored an EFS backup.
Hope its not this though...... :-(

Please suggest
After too much Googling about IMEI restoration I came to know about EFS Folder, I dont have backup of that. but I took backup of OLD rom from CWM Recovery, Is it helpful to me..?
Yes replace old rom.
If that does restore your efs and imei then back up efs.
Multiple posts on xda re efs may help.

yes .. but why ?
IMEI - removed
Sorry, remove your imei number from the post... I was asking in case your EFS had corrupted. Maybe I should have been a bit more clear lol.
If you go in About > Status, check if the IMEI shows up.
When you flashed the phone, did it also update your radio? What is the baseband version?
Edit and delete that emei!! That's for you only ;-)

YES IMEI is showing over there
dun know abt Radio ... and are u asking about baseband ver. before or now ?
now it is I9100XXKL1
Why dont you try different modems for your country or a custom ROM that has your countries CSC also.
And you've tried already to turn off airplane mode? If not, try that and just let me know if it's giving you Emergency Only or just not connecting to the network at all. Were you using it OK before? Downgrade your radio if ever
reboot couple of times and if you rebooted while charging then remove charger and reboot
Thxx all .. Problem was solved .. Jst changed my modem and it was all set ..

Restore your backed up EFS folder by the same method you used to backup .

Try searching for and downloading the ARIZA patch from the xda website. Should work if only the serial number is all zeros.

it should have everything you need
It's only illegal to change it, you can restore it if you have the backup file.

A paid for service repair is probably best for you at around £25 .
As its 1/100 that you have no EFS backup judged by our question .

Sorry , where i can find this model forum ? or a solution for the same case ?
I think this is normally caused by a corrupted EFS partition, which can be caused by downgrading to a ROM that uses an earlier EFS version. Is this likely in your case? If so try searching "corrupted EFS" for a solution.
