I have spent the past week looking through Google, rooting my phone, learning about Odin and EFS Professional. Everything I've done so far hasn't been much help. My friend got a free Samsung Galax S4 LTE from his other friend, but he didn't need it, so he gave it to me. Everything about it works great. Connecting to my router, adding music and videos... all except one thing, which is the IMEI number; it says Unknown, and I've ran out of ideas how to fix it. I did download some other 1.4GB file and used Odin3 to "PDA" it, but I'm not sure what that even did. I've checked YouTube for suggestions. Mostly it just says to dial some numbers (like #*06#) but when I hit dial after that, I just get a "mobile network not available". I need help from a forum that seems educated on this matter. What do I do? I imagine I'll have to install something, but I can't seem to find out which one. I would really appreciate some help. I need the IMEI number to activate my service for this phone. These are the specs:
Model #: SCH-I545
ANDRIOD VERSION: 4.4.2
BASEBAND VERSION: I545VRUFNC5
KERNAL: 3.4.0 [email protected] #1
BUILD NO: KOT49H.I545VRUFNC5
Hardware: I545.00
anyone with any luck??? I have the same problem.

I got my new Vibrant, since my other bricked.
Anyway, I decided not to root or anything, and officially update to froyo using Kies mini. It worked, but I have no reception at all, and when I go to Mobile networks, it asks to "Insert a SIM card". Also under Baseband version it's unknown WTF!
Model number:
SGT-T959
Firmware version:
2.2
Baseband version:
Unknown
Build number:
FROYO.UVKA6
It's not my SIM because it works on my blackberry. I have some bad luck...

give it 10 minutes on that baseband thing
It's been two hours.
I suppose the phone would at least recognize that there is a SIM card in there, but it does not even do that. In settings under Status everything is Unknown.
Mobile network state is Disconnected and Service State is Out of service...
Try reflashing back to stock and then re-down load the 2.2
Nah, don't want to risk getting another brick. Tmobile is sending a new one with express shipping paid on their part. The phone, I just got it today, and it feels cheap, if you shake it, you can literally feel the vibration.
Thanks though.
Hey,
My Samsung galaxy s2 will not receive or send any calls or texts whilst i have my contract virgin mobile UK sim in, the mobile internet still works fine though. I can use the phone with a 3 sim in even though it was locked to Vodafone when i got it, It's not a problem with the sim either, i can put in in other phones and it will work just fine.
I've tried flashing many different kernals and firmware in the hope to fix this problem but none have worked.
Some of my device info is here if its needed:
Model number: GT-I9100
Android version: 4.0.4
Baseband version: I9100MUGKG2
Kernal version: 3.0.15-I9100XWLPT-CL941023
Build number: IMM76D.XWLPT
Thanks for any feed back!
UPDATE: Whenever i enter the call settings on the device it won't let me enter call forwarding settings and additional settings, it' comes up with the message: Network or SIM card error.
Hi!, I'm new here i'd like to say thank you in advance.
Here is the story. My Uncle just brought me a Samung Stratosphere G4 Verizon(I'm out of the States). It came with a T-mobile miniSim, but it has network lock.
First it had the lastest update FF1,
When followed some tutorials, here and at XDA, and manage to flash it: this is the current Info:
Hardware Version: I405.05
Model: SCH-I405
Firmware: 2.3.5
Base band: I405.05.V.FF1
SCH-I405.FF1
Kernel: 2.6.35.7.EI2
Compilation: SCH-I405.EI2
IMEI: 99XXXXXXXXXXXX (So its working)
The phone is rooted, when i got to the efs folder y didnt find any nv_data.bin, so i found an application nv_datarepair so now it appears, and with some tools it said it unlocked.
But it still doesn't reconize any Sim. but before i do anything with him (flash or sim unlock) if in the dialer i type: *#06# it doesnt show anything, not even if i press the call button(it show network not available) and no code work there. since I got the phone and even now.
Do you have any idea?, I'm about to flash it again to an FF1 version I found here, but even I get to do it right I need to get the simunlock.
I hope I explained myself enought.
Again, thank you in advance. take care.
Edit: I just installed FF1, but it says it need activation, and I can't... I used TESTMODE, to bypass but ask on every reboot, I noticed that even if I buy an unlock code i won't be able to use it since no hash number can be used...
Edit 2: I managed to bypass activation with Titanium and/or editing build.prop, but now i know that I need to change something to make the phone global capable.
Is there any way to flash baseband to get the phone global?
Afternoon all.
I need some help. I have been searching forums all day trying to find a solution to my problem, but I'm just getting more confused. So please, if there is someone out there that can help, I would be grateful.
Bit of background. Yesterday, my phone was working correctly and when I went to make a call later in the day I had no network. When I tried to check the network settings, it stated "Insert SIM card to access network services".
When I checked Settings>About device the Baseband version is listed at "Unknown"
I read somewhere to try *#06#, which I did and it shows IMEI/MEID "null / null"
My phone is a Galaxy S2 GT-I9100 on UK Vodafone network, the rest of the phone info is as follows:
Android version: 4.1.2
Baseband version: Unknown
Kernel Version: 3.0.31 - 462349 [email protected] - 111 #3 SMP PREEMPT Tue Nov 6 02:42:23 KST 2023
Build Number: JZO54K.I9100XXlSJ
I have already tried the following:
1. Removed battery, waited 10 minutes, rebooted - Failed.
2. Wiped data and factory reset - Failed.
3. Installed a completely new version of 4.1.2 from HERE - Failed.
4. I have also tried my SIM card in my misses GT-I9100 and it works fine, so it's a handset issue.
I am at a loss of what else to try.
Can ANYONE help me, please!!!
Thanks in anticipation.
Pete.
If you've never 'messed with' the phone (rooted it or run non-stock firmware), send it in for warranty service if your warranty is still good. Trying something that could potentially bork that warranty & end up costing you money isn't worth it, and there's a fair chance they wouldn't work anyway unless you had an EFS backup which you wouldn't have if you've never rooted your phone.

The rom you linked to is the older leaked pre-public version of Sammy JB. You should try flashing the latest final public version from here.
You need to flash another modem ... Tell me if it works or not
Or try this

I have the same problem with me & I also tried the above methods but failed every time I also changed the sim slot but failed
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.

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
