Well I would suggest you in the first place to backup your IMEI and only after that you should install custom roms So if a rom would mess up your IMEI you can just restore it. You can install any kind of rom Kitkat, Touchwiz, MIUI, Jelly bean your choice.
I recommend installing ultimarom trust me on this one

Hi,
I am a noob to XDA and this is my first post, please dont be mean!! I recently bought a galaxy s2 unlocked version from amazon.com and when i received it i flashed in the new leaked jellybean rom:
Android version: 4.1.2
Baseband version: I9100XXLS6
Kernel version: 3.0.21-462349
[email protected] #3
SMP PREEMPT
Build number: JZO54K.I9100XXLSJ
After flashing this new rom my IMEI number had been reset and i am currently getting no network service. The samsung SRS tool is not picking up my phone for some unknown reason to let me reset the IMEI number. Before flashing the new rom i did not take stock of what the original rom was!! Is there anyway to know what the stock rom was before flashing?
Please help!!!!
Well if it was the factory unlocked version, my guess is you had stock unbranded gingerbread.
unbranded

When you say, your IMEI number has been reset, I think, the efs folder got corrupted. its where the phone data like IMEI number is stored.
And if you want to flash stock kernel, you can visit this site, but I'm not sure how you can retrieve this efs folder data.

Your IMEI is also printed on the sticker beneath your phones' battery.
Your probably seeing the sim lock bug and getting confused. if you flash the leaked JB rom your sim lock will be enabled so you will need to use a unlock app.
Use search, we have plenty of topics that cover this since JB leak.
and then some.....

yea i know it is but the imei number behind the battery and the one i am seeing when i dial *#06# are different. i am seeing alot of 9999's and 000's in it..when i googled it i saw it was some sort of manufacturer's default imei or something. i flashed in an unbranded uk rom xwlp7 but when i try to root it using cf-root it is not working now!!!
Hi guys. I need some helps. I'm from Malaysia and the android that i used before is android 4.1.2 I9300XXEMF6 (original firmware). Then ive upgraded it into android 4.3 (I9300XXUGMJ9) for UK region. Even though it is an official samsung firmware, i found out it is unstable. I flash it back to android 4.1.2 (Malaysia original firmware) but something happen. The "network have not registered" problem. I then found the solution by rooting it and install the modem. But it act funnily as the android seems unstable from before. I flash it over and over again hoping that reverting back to 4.1.2 will be the same as before but i ended up using 4.2 as the 4.1.2 have network problem. I already search the forum and find many solutions but none provide the files that i need. I also have tried KIES method by recovery and initializing method but it resulted the same. "Network has not registered. The only solution is to root it and i would really like to NOT to root my phone.
My question is, can someone provide me with necessary files such as the pit files, phone (modem) and the CSC files that specifically for Malaysia regions? I already have the firmware file. Please guys. The instability of 4.3 is driving me crazy.
BTW im using i9300.
Stop.
You are going to brick your phone if you flash things without understanding them.
Go to general forum and read the sticky post, especially efs 'know this stuff'.
Flashing a pit file WILL brick your phone.
When you flashed 4.3 you upgraded to efs v2, there is no way back. You can only use EMGx and later modems now, find a later modem that will work in your country, either with 4.1 or 4.3.
Edit. Backup your efs, perform a factory reset, flash your 4.1 country rom then an EMG modem.
hey man, thanks. One question, where can i find this emg modem?

What you`ll need is a new version of 4.1.2 with a mg4 baseband or latest, the 4.3 rom changed your efs folder format. If you want to stick with your 4.1.2 go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43946365&postcount=15 and flash that emergency.zip (mg4 baseband), it should do the job.
Hi guys. Already solved the network problem by installing the Modem DDEMG2 files via odin. Thanks for your guys helps and advice. For some that thinks that i haven't read many posts, i have read them but cannot grasp the concept. Sorry for the inconvenience. Many thanks.

Hello,
Recently I updated over-the-air to Andrioid 4.3 (baseband version I9300XXUGMJ9), build number JSS15J.I9300XXUGMJ9.
It was running android 4.2.2 before, updated over-the-air aswell. I have not rooted or modified the phone in any way. Since updating to android 4.3 it's has been painfully slow during unlocking and I wish to downgrade it to 4.2.2 however I can't find any official ROMs, I can only see 4.1.2 or 4.3.
Does anyone know where I can find official 4.2.2 ROM ? (and how to downgrade). The phone was bought unlocked, I believe.
Thank you
Hey
If sammobile.com doesn't have the 4.2.2 firmware then it's not there for your region s3..
Try a Google search or use 4.1.2..
