Hi guys,
I have problem with my friend phone.
He asked me to install Blekota s5 Lite on his phone.
I installed him and phone worked great about 1.5 months, then he got a message that he need to update rom.
When he updated rom he couldn't call anybody, use SMS or Mobile data.
Then he without my knowledge reset phone to " factory reset" through settings.
After that he has full formated mobile phone ( even storage has been formatted ).
Then he called me and said what he did.
I tried do factory reset through CWM, but the problems haven't gone.
Then I flashed phone with odin and stock firmware but nothing has changed.
Then I tried install stock firmware with Kies3/Tools/Firmware Upgrade and Initialization.
Kies flashed firmware successfully but again nothing has changed.
I tried GalaxSimUnlock, but it show that phone is unlocked.
I then tried to backup EFS, but it showed that it can not make backup.
Then I tried *#06# and it showed that IMEI is normal.
I know it's a long post but can anyone help me?

Hi!
I have a problem with my Samsung Galaxy Y from T-Mobile Poland. I upgraded soft witch KIES to 2.3.6 and everything was ok. But after a two weeks there was a problem witch internet via 3g. It wasn't too bad for me. But from yesterday wifi is not working. So i reset to factory settings via recovery menu. it didn't help me. So i tried reset from phone's settings. And after that the IMEI number is gone. And when i connect phone to pc KIES says "Your device doesn't support firmware upgrade via apl." And generally i can't install aplications for root which means i can't restore backup via MyBackup or Titan Backup. My phone was rooted.
What can i do? Sorry for my english i'm from Poland.
Could someone help me?
Hello.
I have a problem which annoys me a lot for a half a year now. Here's the story:
I bought my S3 from secondhand in 2012. It was Android 4.1.2. I was complete newbie that day. When update came off, I wanted to update it via my phone, bu then i threw errors. then i tried it via Kies but also did not managed to. I googled the problem and saw that I am rooted. I listened to people, who said that I should use Odin to upgrade my firmware, So did I. Downloaded latest firmware from sammobile.com. i did everything following the tutorial, but I got the network problem - no connection to the service - no sms, calls, 3g and so on. Only wifi. Then I spend three days trying to google out the problem. Tried almost everything, but as I didint had any backups made for my EFS, and my IMEI was "unknown" as phone said, I assumed that there is nothing i can do there. So I gave phone to the repair service. They fixed it in a day. I got it with the old 4.1.2 firmware version and enjoyed my phone like a year for now. And immediately backed up EFS.
So today I thought that im very bored with this old 4.1.2 and encouraged myself to try upgrade it again. So as I have efs backup, (I also did modem backup) I tried downloading latest 4.3 fimware from sammobile again. (as Im from Lithuania, there is no firmwared for LT, so I downloaded Croatian, because the carrier was the same (Tele2). And here I go again. No network, only wifi. I tried to restore efs, modem - no change with network (Did not managed to recover modem corectly, Odin fails when i want to recover it). then I tried several modems from Perkas file Stash, which i managed install via Odin, but still no change. I truly tried almost every app ant searched every thread in this forum for solution.
Now I tried to flash in to 4.1.2 I9300XXEMG4 firmware. And now im stuck with Samsung logo, mobile does not even turn on.
Any solutions? I will apprecaite any information. Thanks
There is no single solution, once the efs is damaged only a reputable repair centre can recode it properly. If it comes back with 4.1 then it isn't hasn't been fixed properly.

Hi everyone, I have an LG Optimus G (F180K) and I've been using it fine for the last couple years and most recently under the V30D firmware which is KitKat 4.4.2. I've flashed CM11 and MIUI on it previously but restored it to the stock rom several months ago and have stuck with it since. About a week ago I flashed MIUI again as it seemed there were new builds avaliable. The installation went fine but when the phone booted up I realized I didn't have any service and my service provider was not being recognized as it just said "No service". It did show there was a SIM card inside though. So using CWM backup I restored back to my original stock rom and realized there was still no service so I did a clean factory reset. That didn't fix the problem so I tried updating the phone with the kdz files straight from LG's servers which still didn't fix the problem. I checked my IMEI which was not broken and the phone number of my SIM card is recognized but it just always "No service". I tried reverting back to stock rom and factory reset multiple times the past week but it still won't work. Any help? Thanks
Hi guys,
A month ago my phone got stuck on Samsung's bootscreen (I was using CM10.2). I tried to restore a nandroid backup but the recovery wasn't able to mount /data, so I had to restore my phone via odin flashing official firmware. Then /efs was corrupted so I lost my IMEI (0049...), therefore I wasn't able to connect to the mobile network (no calls, no data connection...) and I hadn't a backup for that (yes, really dumb). Yesterday I took it to a repair service from a mobile store (definitely not the official one) and they restored my old IMEI number, as I can check it comparing the one behind my battery and the one shown dialing *#06#. But it still doesn't connect to the network, only emergency calls. When I try to call, it displays a message that says that it isn't registered in the network, and if try to register it manually, a toast notification displays saying that it's registered but another one in the notification bar says that the network it's not available.
Things that I've already done without success:
- Back up and restore /efs (kTool).
- Flash CM10.2.
- Flash official firmware.
- Tried with other's SIM (mine works fine in other phones).
Any thoughts? clues? anything that cross your minds? I need to bring my S3 back to life and I don't really know where to begin the research (I googled like hell, though).
I'll appreciate any contribution (even if it's just a description of how network connecting works at low level, codes to check, etc),
Thank you (and please forgive my poor english).
Try patched modern and kernel, if that doesn't work then take it back to your repair store.

Thank you for the quick response, I'll give it a try right now!
EDIT: It worked, thank you!!
I'll explain for others. I had CM10.2 before repairing it following the instructions of boomboomer. I've downloaded the firmware I9300XXUGMK6 from here and flashed it with Odin v3.04. After this, I had to get root again and flash cwm recovery (CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4 with Odin). Then just flashed the two files listed on this post. Now it works again.
Hey everyone, I'm hoping someone is able to point me in the right direction.
I have an S9 Plus with TWRP installed and DevBase v5.9 as the ROM. I have made two backups using TWRP, one from when I first got the phone and a more recent one (within the last week).
When I first got the phone I removed a lot of the bloatware that came with it (Samsung stuff and other junk). After using the phone for a while I realized I needed to keep a couple of the Samsung apps, mostly Samsung Themes and Galaxy Apps (to keep other Samsung Apps up to date). This is where the problems first began.
I restored the backup I made when I first got the phone because I didn't remove any of the bloatware. The backup restored without any problems, I started updating apps, getting it back to the way I had it and noticed I didn't have any reception. I tried to make a phone call and it displayed an error "Not registered on network". I thought something went wrong during the restore, so I tried to restore the phone with the more recent backup I had. That, too, gave me the same message. I checked the IMEI number it was displaying 0000000000000/01. Definitely not my IMEI.
I tried my SIM card in another phone and it worked without any problem. I tried my partners SIM card in my phone and it displayed the same 0000000000000/01 IMEI. I downloaded the latest stock firmware for the phone in an attempt to try and get it back to normal, however, even on stock android it displays 0000000000000/01 IMEI.
So I'm in a sticky situation at the moment. Is there any way to recover from this problem?
