Hey guys,
I ran the Suckit Verizon boot unlocker exploit, and it was successful. At which point I used TW Recovery to flash Android Revolution HD 8.0 (N7100 ROM). My phone wouldn't connect to the Verizon network, saying I did not insert the proper SIM card. I found this strange, but realized Verizon locks their network to international phones. I then used the Verizon Toolkit to flash back to stock recovery and ROM. After doing so, I still had no luck in activating my phone.
I called tech support (now having stock everything) and they told me it was likely my SIM card. After spending 2 hours at the store today, it is clearly not the SIM card. They have no idea what the problem is...
When I flashed Android Revolution, I wiped my efs. Could that be the problem? Is it possible to flash a new EFS or COM3? I have no clue how to reactivate to the network..
Anyone have this problem? I did a search on both Suckit Verizon and the Verizon toolkit thread and no one appeared to suffer from this. Please help! Any solutions are greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Will update if those guys at Verizon come through.
Definitely has to do with wiping my EFS and not saving it. Under Settings > About > Status IMEI is unknown as well as all other carrier info.
Can someone send me their EFS or is their a way to restore the EFS without having backed it up?
Flash the full Odin restore image and that should fix the problem. Note, it will wipe your data and re-lock the bootloader, but it should at least connect to the network again.
If the stock Odin doesn't work since your imei is unknown this may be what you need, but listen to imnuts first

Flashed stock rom. No luck. Now I have to root back, as one of the prerequisites is being rooted. Will get back.
I kind of had this same problem right after I rooted/unlocked and before flashing any ROMs. I was getting signal bars but kept getting a cannot connect to network error every time I tried to place a call. I called customer service and they "reset" my account, whatever that means but it still didn't work. Started driving to the Verizon store and decided to try one last factory reset and it started working! An IT guy at my work said the account reset plus factory reset got my device sync'd with Verizon signal again. Don't know if what he said is true...don't know why it worked...don't know if this will help you but I thought I would share my experience. I know what you are going through so good luck!

I had almost the same problem using MIUI for AT&T's variant. I was able to get most functionality back by accessing the hidden menu and doing the ##RTN#, but still cannot get 4G LTE back. Maybe this will help you get started too.

According to the OP instructions - which I have done entirely correct. Put phone in Debugging, Went to Qualcomm settings in Hidden menu and set to "RMNET + DM + MODEM" , connected to the proper COM port, clicked the READ on top, however when I go to click the second read to populate the information -> Says cannot set device into DM mode.
The instructions and accompanied video do not reference having to place the device into DM mode at all. The fact that I am getting this error message is also a unique problem.
Anyone know what this could mean or how to fix it? Could it be due to the USB Qualcomm settings not "taking or shifting", although it does confirm that I changed by saying "Saved"
Also, can Verizon Wireless sync my IMEI in store if I bring the original box with the IMEI barcode on it ? Can they flash / scan it to the phone?
anybody?

I know with a fact that the stores do not carry any flashing software for any smartphones. So there is nothing they can do.

I have a unlocked Samsung SGH-I747 from ATT its mobile data tethering is not working. Error message "Mobile data is not available or invalid SIM" appears. I have rooted the phone with SUPERSU. I am a amateur at this I rooted the phone following instructions on youtube and xdadevelopers. Its working fine otherwise.
Could someone help? I don't have internet at home and want to use the simcard to connect. I am using a simcard that allows tethering on a normal smartphone. No problem with the simcard.
Thank you for your help.

Hi folks, I have a 5830v, (5830i rebranded for Vodafone Australia)
I had been running ace-i-sure rom, but flashed back to stock via odin, to have a
fairly simple and foolproof setup for my luddite girlfriend. All of that went fine,
but after rooting with update.zip the phone is unable to access the network, giving
a "mobile network is unavailable" error.
Searching around, it seems the usual cause is a missing IMEI, but the IMEI seems
to still be there, verified through *#*#4636#*#*
Running unroot.zip removes root access, but still doesn't let the phone access the network.
So far only way I've found to restore the access is to reflash with odin.
I have rooted the phone before using update.zip, and had no issues at all, so I'm not
sure what's causing it this time around, or how to fix it.
Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance
Edit - seemed to work on the 4th attempt :S
Hello,
I have a Lenovo K3 Note (k50t5) that I bought from China.
Since it came preloaded with a lot of bloatware and without an option to update to newer builds from Lenovo, I flashed the Indian ROW (rest of the world) k50a40 version and updated to the latest S121 version.
The problem is that the IMEI got deleted and I couldn't fix it with numerous methods I found in various forums.
I rooted the phone using the CWM method.
I tried using Mobile uncle app, but it doesn't have the engineer MTK option for some reason, only Android.
I accessed engineering mode through the dialer (*#*#3646633#*#*), and tried using AT command but it gave me the common error that it cannot send the command in user mode. Making a space before the + sign just gave me an ERROR, without specifics. I modified the build file from user to userdebug, and now I always get ERROR.
The weird thing is that I get a data connection from time to time, but I can't make phone calls or send SMS. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
I managed to fix the problem! I'm posting this as it might help other people with this problem (invalid IMEI).
Just download an app called "chamelephon" from google play. it allows you to type in your IMEI.
It fixed the problem in 1 minute. Now I can call and send/receive SMS as normal.

Anybody make any headway with unlocking this phone without having an activated SIM card installed?
Current MetroPCS/T-Mobile rules are 180-days consecutively active. Use the device unlock button while your service is still active on the 181st or 182nd day. After service is up, confirm IMEI is unlocked by asking the carrier if your choice.
I'm all for the official way of things (sometimes)... but I was given this phone and since it's a few leagues above my Cricket/AT&T ZTE Z835 (regardless of it being 6.0.1 instead of 7.1.1.) I'd be pretty pleased if I could just throw my cricket SIM inside without issues.
