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.

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.
Sent from my USCC-US760 using xda app-developers app
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
Hi there
Hopefully someone can help me I broke the screen on my Samsung galaxy SIII i9300.
I ordered a new screen off ebay it arrived I installed it, everything worked accept the center button so I opened the phone back up and adjusted the tabs up a bit to make the connection re assembled the phone to find the middle button worked but I now had no baseband or IMEI number .
The process I have tried so far is:
Factory reset
Tried new logical board (actually tried 3 different boards)
cleaned all connectors
But still no IMEI or Baseband and doesn't recognised sim

Dids your baseband and imei disappear as a result of you repairing the screen ? Have you tried to flash a stock rom via odin?
Hello,
I hope i can get some help with this issue i spent DAYS trying to figure out this issue out
so i have a Pomp W8 MTK6589 dual sim phone.
I did a factory restore one day and now i am getting a really weird issue. i get a message that says simcard Not detected when i put a valid sim card in the phone. YET if i but a sim card in the phone that is not activated. i reads the Sim card and the contacts but it says no service. yet if you put the vaild sim in "Sim Card not detected" in both slots on the phone.
When you dial 112 it does work.
What i tried so far:
-2 Roms and currently have Stock Rom POMP-W89_V3.06_20130709
-CWR Installed
-When you turn on the phone it says "No Sim Card Detected" When you place a valid Sim in the Phone
-The phone does detect Inactive Sim even asks to pick the appropriate Carrier and reads sim contacts
What i know:
-i dont have a NVRAM BACKUP (I did make one but my Harddrive Died)
-I did a Whole Flash Wipe and restored the Stock Rom Get invalid Sim restore Sims using MTK Engineering mode
-ALL OTHER Functions work great on the phone just not the Cellular modem to make any calls besides emergency.

I honestly Don't know what to do....If anyone has a NVRam Backup of this phone or any of the Same branded version on this phone. Please let me know as this is a Odd issue because i never seen it any forms before.
Does anyone have any experince with this issue or can anyone help me fix this phone for my baby brother!
Thank you in advance.

[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.

Hi
Its been 5 years that i have not used my Samsung galaxy s3, because i did some rooting thing and i was broke . Now after 5 years i have found my Galaxy s3 under a drawer and i seriously want to use it again.
Info i have -- 1) Model number - GT-I9300
2) Andriod Verson - 4.1.1
3) Baseband Version - Unknown
4) build Number - JRO03C.I9300XXDLH6

6) IMEI- Null/ Null
7) ServiceMode - Empty (blank Screen with servicemode written on the top)
I have read few posts from here and there and tried doing the servicemode thing but i was unable to do any thing as my servicemode screen was blank.
when i type *7465625*638*# It prompts me to "personalization" screen where it says " Network Lock MCC/MNC [Space to write] and Control Key [space to write]"
If some one can help that would be so great. I think i did a poor job in explaining. Please ask me what ever is required and ill get onto it.. But trust me i read most of the threads and was unable to understand what to do.
I did a factory reset to get that "servicemode" screen to work but it did not work
