Hi everyone!
I recently tried out a new custom rom and it seems to have messed up my IMEI and serial number...
Also, it thinks I have a dual sim model, but it is single sim. Yet it still shows me that I have two slots.

I have been modding my phones for years but I never had a problem like this.
I have tried literally everything to fix it. I've read through all the posts, forums and found nothing.
I'm hoping someone here can help me fix it.
Thanks in advance!
[EDIT]
I managed to change my IMEI number back to the original and get a serial number, but it still won't connect to the network.
Currently it says "Error while searching for networks." when I try to search for them and "Unable to connect. Try later." when I try to automatically select a network.
Try to install latest modem.

I have the same issue. I upgraded to UAEGT3 and it messed up my phone. Emergency calls only and IMEI status is NG from *#0011# menu.
Any resolution?

Install older firmware like S9DTD7.
Download that and install through odin.

Downgrade is not possible due to binary version error. The binary of UAETG3 is 10 which is so far the highest and Samsung restricts downgrading to older binary.
Take it to a Samsung repair facility if you have one.. They can get it back for you.

Hello sir,
I'm in exact same situation as you. Will you please explain how did you manage to change the IMEI back to the original? I have lost my IMEI too. Both IMEI are 00000 .

The only thing that helped was that I took it to a samsung repair station and got the motherboard replaced. Althought sometimes it forgets it has a sim card in it, but it works.
Are combination file for binary B out ?

Same for me! I searched the web for 4 days and have not found a solution!
I had no IMEI and my mobile data was not working, so he fixed the IMEI and my sim card + mobile data is working again.
Thank you very much! fixed by @hainguyenthao
/edit At the beginning he said I can install any custom rom I want (I wanted LineageOS/ArrowOS, so no stock based ROM) and that the fix is permanent, meaning I can reset the phone, do updates etc.
In the end, however, it looked quite different. I can neither use LineageOS, or ArrowOS. I can only use the stock based ROM from alexis. I can't do any updates. (not even security updates) I can't reset the phone, or switch to the stock ROM. When you do a simple wipe, mobile data is not working anymore. Really much trouble, installed several custom roms. Then I asked if an update would be possible (that's where he has to step in again, I can't do that by myself) and he said it wasn't sure if it would work. So now I am stuck on this build forever. High security risk. This is only a temporary solution and not worth it. I paid 30€. I bought a new phone and would recommend it to you guys as well. I will use the phone only for home without mobile data feature and install the latest stock rom.
has anyone find a solution for this?

Hi,
I am looking into getting a European ROM running on the sgs3 I bought here in China.
I tried downloading the official Samsung rom from UK, but I failed during installation of the modem part. It rendered my phone useless, and it took hours getting it back up with the kies and the official Chinese rom.
I used the software called Odin i believe, to attempt the update.
To me, it seems as if it is not that easy, maybe due to the modem thing, but can anyone verify that this will never work?
The main reason for applying a different rom is, that it seems that none of the Google apps are going to work. I can't install them, but they won't run. The apps seem to load, put with no message, it closes and the phone returns to the previous screen.
Anyone with any input on this?

Same problem with me, how you solved your problem?
Hi,
I never solved the problem.
I must say, I have not been working on it either.
I have been searching and searching but have not been successful in finding a solution.

Huum, but you were able to install Google Play? I already installed twice but the app keeps crashing everytime that I try to open it.
And I must say; I was frustrated to realize that my SGS3 didn't came with a SD card on it.
Hi,
I was able to install it yes, but have the same problem as you. It starts to load, and suddenly it just disappears.
No cash message, no nothing. That is why I think this is a limitation that is put there on purpose.

Hi,
Just for an update.
I was looking into getting a european rom on to my phone, but ended up doing a ROOT instead, and then install Google Apps.
Everything is just the way I like them now
To root and install CWM (Needed to install the Google Apps), i followed this guide:
*Can't link to the guide due to forum policies. PM me, and I will give you the link
After having downloaded the software neccesary, it took about 30 seconds for my phone to be ready.
I then did more or less as this guide *Can't link to the guide due to forum policies. PM me, and I will give you the link says.
With the only exception, that I copied the Google Apps zip-file to the SD card from Windows explorer, and bootet into recovery mode by holding the HOME, VOLUME UP and POWER button at the same time, after having powered off my phone.
Now, all the apps are working as I have been used to.
To solve your Problem and install official rom from Samsung to your phone you need to buy Odin Mobile.
For Chinese phone, when you use computer with odin, there is something that is blocked on the Phone so you cannot install any firmware from odin using the pc.
With odin Mobile u can flash >>>> personnally i flashed the one of Samsung GS3 HK because i still want to have some chinese stuff in my phone as i like to have.. And work perfectly !
Hope it will help you ! cordially!

But what I have done, is to find the modem-file for installation, and I am now using a rom called Omega, currently a version 19.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1663656
First off, I install the ROM, and afterwards, I install the modem.
Everything seems to be working just fine.
The Omega rom, is the official Samsung rom, with some "hacks" - during installation you are for instance asked if you want the complete thing, or if you want to leave out all bloatware.
Official Samsung will no longer be available OTA, as the updating process detects, that the phone has been altered.
I live in China and own a SGS3 bought here in china. What you have to do is flash a kernel that is compatible with TRIANGLE AWAY to reset to zero the flash counter on the phone. Then you should be able to flash any original Samsung ROM made for the SGS3. If it doesn't work, you might also have to flash the stock XLH1 modem. Then it should work.

Hello thank's for your support. Are you sure that it will work with a Unicom brandet S3? I tried to flash it before, after this it doesn't work anymore. So i had to go to Samsung service point and pay to recover it. Thanks'
solution
Hello all,
i found the solution. The Chinese S3 has another boot sector, so it can't be flashed by Odin with any other firmware.
I found in a Chinese forum how to make it.
First you have to root, this was no problem.
You have to install mobile odin, because mobile doesn't flash the boot image.
Now you can copy any firmware to sd card and flash.
Best Regards
Hi All,
Some background info:
I have a P769BK, rooted on P76910e running 4.0.4.
The phone has been rooted and I have previously overclocked it through the Basic L9 Overclocking instruction.
I had also frozen some of the t-mobile bloatware using the running the T-mobile P769 bloatware disable script.
...so when I heard about the P769 jellybean OTA upgrade, I tried to get the OTA upgrade and even tried the forced checkin (dial *#*#CHECKIN#*#*) but I keep getting the same 2 results:
1) phone says it is up to date
2) phone downloads the P76910g update but I get that awesome dead Andriod icon after it reboots to install

well i'm posting about why a hard reset would still prevent me from upgrading to P76910g, which according to t-mobile is the correct up-to-date software pending JB's P76920d.
the other threads about flashing roms and such seem to say that a hard reset would fix everything back to square one, which isn't the case for me.

I am in the same boat. Can't update to 10g. Hard reset doesn't help. I only rooted mine no overclocking or custom recovery. I tried unrooting but that didn't help.
I had exact same problem and the only thing that worked for me was flashing the stock 10g update. It was a hassle and I loss root but it will work.
Got the JB update yesterday and loving it so far!

I tried following this guide but for some reason I can't install B2CAppSetup. Little window pops up for 2 seconds and then it closes and nothing happens. I tried different compatibility modes but no avail. Any suggestions ?.
Nvm , I didnt put shttp in root. that was the problem
I currently am using my V10 on at&t.
When I first got the phone I did the temporary unlock so I could use the phone out of the box until I was eligible for a "Permanent Unlock".
I used the permanent unlock and it was successful.
After the allotted time for the temporary unlock ran out, T-Mobile locked my phone again rendering it unusable as far as calls/texts.
I saved a backup with TWRP and wiped it and It worked again.
The problem is when I restore my backup it is still locked.
Any help is appreciated! Restarting from scratch on this phone would be a huge pain.
Since you already did the permanent unlock, your IMEI is whitelisted in T-Mobile's database.
Clear data for the Device Unlock app, run it, and do Permanent Unlock. It will unlock the phone again.
You might need to have a T-Mobile SIM card in the phone when you do it.

Thank you for the reply! I also forgot to mention that I am running this debloated rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmo...-lg-v10-h901-10c-debranded-debloated-t3277305
The T-Mobile unlock application is on the rom but does not function properly. I assume this is because most of the services that are used by the app are disabled in the rom.
Is there any place I could download the T-Mobile services or maybe even just reinstall the device unlock application.
Once again thank you for the reply!

Yes, you're running my ROM. Did you read the first post in the ROM thread?
I clearly wrote there that the Device Unlock app does not work on my ROM (and is not even included in it).
You must flash back to full stock and unlock there, then flash my ROM again.

I will give it a go. Is there any way I can restore the majority of what I have on my phone(apps/settings) without the phone relocking.
I assume that no matter what, if I restore the phone with the backup I made it will be locked again.
In T-mobile's database this phone is unlocked.

SIM lock status is not stored in the Android OS. It's stored in the baseband processor, which is a separate chip with its own proprietary OS that Android can talk to in a very limited and specific way via the RIL (Radio Interface Layer).
The SIM lock status is NOT stored in your TWRP backup. You can backup and restore at will.
Once the phone is permanently SIM-unlocked, it should stay that way forever, unless the permanent unlock did not stick. After you do a permanent unlock in the Device Unlock app, you must reboot the phone and wait for the toast notification saying "device is permanently unlocked." If it worked, the Device Unlock app will disappear from your app drawer (it disables itself). If you still see it, the unlock did not stick and you have to open the app and do it again.

Yes, that means the app failed to unlock the phone because it's already permanently unlocked. There's nothing for you to do there.

Unlock t-mobile LG v10
Did anyone figure out how to get this unlocked? I am in the same situation and would love to collaborate with anyone on getting this unlocked.
In a similar situation with a LG K20 Plus unlocked third party. Restored a TWRP backup of Lineage OS 14.1 from stock OS. All was well I thought and then i noticed i lost UNLOCK + 1) IMEI 2) BASEBAND 3) SERIAL NUMBER. I restored IMEI, BASEBAND and working on SERIAL. Cannot get the Unlock back. Flashed back to stock to repair all and got all done but UNLOCK. Doesn't make sense.. I have tried a number of things but no success. I since flashed back to LineageOS thinking i might get the UNLOCK back but all i get now is a code input prompt like you get on LineageOS and most importantly code based unlock phones.. ATT,SPRINT,CRICKET etc. I got the same thing on Stock as well.. odd eh? Anyone have some suggestions?
Will post some screenshots soon.
Figured it out.. Flashed back to stock but a build newer than what i flashed before. Then I simply used the built in MetroPCS unlock app and it worked. lol... Flashed my custom stuff back and nothing lost at all. Got serial # back as well.
Hi, I just joined this forum and I'm hoping you guys can help me with my problem:
I have an S9+ with the FRP Lock on, a guy on Reddit told me that there is a way to unlock it. The phone in question is a SM-G9650 made in Argentina. And the other number that appears on the recovery menu when you do the Bixby + Vol Up + Power button is G9650ZHS6CSK4.
I've downloaded the correct firmware (I think that version was Android 9.0) for that number up there, and when I try to flash the phone with Odin, everything goes great, I first flash the AP file and the phone reboots, but it doesn't boot into "Factory Binary Mode" it just goes straight to the normal phone setup and in Odin I get no errors as you will see in the screenshots below:

I've downloaded the correct firmware (I think that version was Android 9.0) for that number up there, and when I try to flash the phone with Odin, everything goes great, I first flash the AP file and the phone reboots, but it doesn't boot into "Factory Binary Mode" it just goes straight to the normal phone setup and in Odin I get no errors as you will see in the screenshots below:
So, what am I doing wrong? If I'm missing the combination ROM does anybody know where to find it? Please if any of you can help me I would be grateful!
Have a nice day!

YOU have a great day!!!!! Stop telling people what to do!! (totally joking)
all joking aside, yes, the combination file is the way to get past FRP. I have not looked at your file to make sure its the combination file needed in order to get past FRP, but that is indeed the process. You flash the combo firmware (not called a ROM) and then the phones actual firmware you need and the phone shouldnt ask for the google account info anymore.
Reddit is a good place to have quick conversations about how to address issues, but youll find that 99% of the people over there just refer back to XDA. Wonder why! LoL Anyways, ill look at the file you posted, but i am at work so some of my research will be limited due to the vile creature called Citrix.
here is a link that Citrix wouldnt let me get to due to the net nanny configured within the evil bastard Citrix.
https://combinationfirmware.com/combination-samsung-galaxy-s9-plus/
i cannot verify that link due tho the aforementioned evil gremlin Citrix, more so the netnanny, but you get my point
Thanks! I'll get started

Thanks! I'll get started with that link, I'm not near my PC right now so I can't check the link comfortably, anyways from what I saw I didn't see the specific one that matches this code *G9650ZHS6CSK4* completely, does it has to be the EXACT same?

no, it doesnt have to be the exact same, but certain parts are important. G9650 phone model #ZHS6 bootloader versionCSK4 build version

So, technically can I just use any combination firmware with the G9650 part in this case? I've been googling earlier but I haven't found one that completely matches that code, most likely I'm not looking on the right places

model number and bootloader revision are the only really important parts as far as getting the phone to boot and/or not brick, the rest is mostly to determine which security update its on and what carrier its for
also the images in the OP dont show even on my daily driver home computer. I could check on one of the others too, but i dont think thats necessary.

So, let me see if I understood correctly, even though my phone's version is G9650Z, the G965U will work just fine? I get the joke but at the same time, what I meant is that I couldn't find any combo firmware that has the G9650ZHS6 in the name

im glad the art of humor isnt entirely lost here these days!! honest to god
G9650ZHS6 is the first part of your devices firmware, but the firmware combination file you want doesnt need to exactly match the first part tho. From what you have here, its telling you that the G9650 is the model number, the HS6 part is the bootloader, but in the US models, there are 2 characters following the model number representing the country code but this one only has one before the bootloader version. So, as long as the combination file is the same model number and the same bootloader version, it should be just fine. Odin will fail if you try to flash a BL revision lower than what is currently on the phone and i wouldnt recommend going higher if avoidable as you cant go back to a previous BL version once youve installed a newer one.

So, in this case, I already have the model number which is G6950, now, I need to find one that has the "S6" in it, being that, the bootloader version I'm looking for right?

I found this combo file G9650ZCU6ASJ2 , will it work? One more thing, the phone right now is on Android 9.0 and the combo I downloaded has "FA80" on the name, which, according to what I've read, it's Android 8.0, do I need to downgrade the phone to 8.0? Can I just flash the 8.0 firmware into it and then continue?

the android version doesnt really matter too much (outside of the requirement of factory resetting when going between versions usually). I am not 100% that the file you listed will work, but as long as it is for your device and is the correct bootloader version, it wont harm it.

And now I have another problem, when I flash it with the combination firmware, it starts and then immediately after Odin says "Fail" and the phone shows this:
FRP is enabled, ignore PIT download.
FRP is enabled, not allowed to download non-FRP abl binary.
What could it be?

My s8+ had UAE firmware on it, settings showed FD version but all other apps like HW info and antutu, Samsung members said F only.
Moving forward I tried to flash a custom official noble rom, and I clicked install twrp too. Fast forward after installation my phone only is stuck in downloading screen, and holding down volume down and power button keeps taking me back to download mode, and it won’t even boot or do anything else. It’s just stuck. I tried to flash official firmware from Odin, i wasn’t sure what my csc was so I flashed and tried every single rom of UAE and I could not flash a single one. It keeps failing. My sister has exams, and I’m being held responsible, I’m poor and my mom can’t buy her a new phone let alone fix this from a shop. I beg any kind soul to please help me out of this.

Alright, lets fix this. Looking at what firmware is available for your phone. Can you please give me your CSC? Dial *#1234#" to figure out what you're current CSC code is.

I am in Bangladesh, this is a second hand phone and I’m not sure but I sense that this used to be a single sim phone and the previous owner put a dual SIM card tray and installed firmware for FD model, and somehow both sims did use to work just fine.
I’ll tell you where everything went wrong and what was the state of the device so that you can make a better judgement of where I ****ed up.
1. I used adb fast boot from cmd to reboot the phone into fastboot.
2. I installed linageos 19.1 android 12 version and the phone was working perfectly. The custom rom was installed.
3. Then I wanted to tweak the phone to increase battery life, stop over heating and screen flicker so I did some research and downloaded hadesRom v12.0 Pie S8/S8+/Note8 and stored it in my phone memory and flashed it in the similar way as linage OS. I also went ahead and tried to install a2n kernel. When trying to install, I received a message saying that I’m trying to install a wrong kernel where my g955 is “N” and not “F” which indicates that it’s a Korean variant but this contradicts everything I’ve done before, anyway that didn’t create a problem but I did this without even rebooting after the hades rom. Ever since then, I’ve been booted back to download mode and I’ve tried flashing official firmwares but nothing helped. It failed every time I’ve been up all night since yesterday and my mother is on the verge of kicking me out, I’m pulling my own hair to find out what is actually wrong but I can’t find anything.
All details of what has been done to the device***

Is this with F, or FD as the end of the model firmware?
It sounds like the PIT error happens when the firmware isn't the right version.
Also, do you want the BNG (Bangladesh) firmware or something else?

BNG firmware is fine, I don’t know if I should flash F or FD, as I’ve tried both and both have failed. I’d rather go back to A9 and then work my way around. And I have all the firmwares downloaded. I think I’ve messed up my boot loader somehow.

Look at this tutorial. I've followed it before. Just make sure that you're flashing it properly with Odin, as you need to make sure you wipe the device:
As you can see, flashing the CSC file will wipe, whereas the HOME_CSC will not.
