I flashed to Milky's ROM on i9000m using odin, and it boot looped, so I flashed with Milky's but no modem. And then flashed a modem. it booted but I had no service. I then tried 10 or so stock firmwares, and none did the trick. I finally fix my product code to get Kies to update, and kies updated to the newest gingerbread. But even after that, I still have no service. Does anyone know whats going on? Is the phone ruined?
ANY help would be greatly appreciated, I spent over 48 hours on this already, and I can't do it myself anymore.
Ok, I had this issue with mine, now I semi bricked my i9000 flashing modems to try and fix this issue, but i had to take it to a shop, i saw this on his screen on a Simpley Honey Rom on XDA.
HOW TO CHANGE THE CSC WITH YOUR COUNTRY CODE:
- Into the DIALER write *#272*XXXXXXXXXXXX# where X series is your IMEI (show the IMEI with *#06#)
- Select your country CODE
- Click on INSTALL
- Wait until it reboots and it do a wipe (automatically)
- Do the first boot
- Enjoy!
But find out ure country code first. And do not try this if ure unsure, remember Im saying I saw a guy that owns a Phone repair shop do it with my phone.

Thanks for the reply, I actually did that before, and retried it again, and it's still not working. I'm clueless as to what's going on.
Have you checked your apn settings?

It's not even seeing the sim card though. When I click on Mobile Networks it says Insert "Insert SIM card to access network services".

Yeah, I tried like 4 or 5 different ones. AT&T, T-Mobile, Telus, some with active service and some not.
I would take it to service centre maybe, worth asking them,

Hi guys,
I have a question about bootloader unlocking. I know it doesn't unlock the carrier, so I've contacted Three UK and they're obtaining a code for my Xperia X8 that I bought on PAYG which will be £15.34 and can take up to 2 weeks.
My question is that if I go ahead and unlock the bootloader so that I can put newer kernels in (and therefore newer ROMs), will it remove the unlock code they gave me in any form, or will my phone always stay unlocked?
Also, if it goes back to locked, can I use that same code from Three and just unlock it again?
Thanks guys.
Also, I assume if anything goes wrong I can use the Pc Companion to practically wipe back to manufacturers kernel/rom/BL/settings?
You guys can't keep posting the Same question.
Anyway, your phone will get locked original network
Sent from my X8 using XDA
I believe if you use code to unlock SIM you' ll have phone same as one that was never locked. And none of your actions should lock it again.
It would be nice if somebody experienced confirm this, though.

I didn't intend to ask the same question again. I did use the search so I apologise if it's already been asked but I'd love a definitive answer.
My guess is that either way, my IMEI will stay the same of course so in theory the same code could be used numerous times on the phone regardless. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
I think I understand from your post that after unlocking BL it'll revert to original carrier lock? Same code or?

factory condition I mean when device is new. Just after you buy it. With no backup of when you had imei, there is no way on getting it back, to my knowledge, without using expensive equiptment and skills like cvxcvx. Samsung itself should be able to do it to.
If you dont mess with device and only do ota/kies updates you dont need it. However when starting to do warrantee breaking stuff like custom roms, even pcodin official ones you need it.
how to: at own risk:
root device, use app like ktool, or alternatives.
Efs backup, is one of the important parts most forgotten as no backup tool does is with other backups.
You can get Samsung, at own risk to fix it too, lol

When you have changed emei youre pretty much screwed. However, a different phone can behave differently. even if same brand model etc. logic is dependant on many variables.
Never seen case of rom corruption changing imei but not efs, with flashback to different rom efs working again. Would be cool if that works for some
No1 you can test that ofc.

If you want to spend money, the z3x box and software can change the imei to what ever you want but the box is $120. I know the box works because my N7000 is using a dumb phone imei. I'm sure there is a way to do it without the box. In using the box, part of it requires flashing GB 2.3.5, so maybe the commands in this video will work worth the 2.3.5, I know they don't on ics.

10 bucks or 120, pick you poison. I wouldn't recommend the 120, cause its pretty difficult to set up, and you only need it once,if your smart lol.
Id recommend to go to Samsung, or cvxcvx as he has good rep on xda and elsewhere.
You might also want to recover pcode if your efs is bust lol. For updatability purposes.
Anyway be careful as it may be illegal to change imei, even if back to original.
If method in first movie works for n7000 its a good find. I wouldn't count on it thought.

No I agree, $120 is pricey, I did it out of expedience and at time I could not find much info about doing it. SoFar I have used it on 4 phones so it was not $120 out the window. When using it, it seems like they are using adb.
As for the OP, he probably just copied his efs folder and then tried to replace it when the orig got fubared. Before I did my mod, I read in a couple of places that just copying the efs folder is hit and miss. I use EFSPro to back up my EFS. I have three different imei's backed up, so if one gets banned, I just connect to a computer and flash another one, 30 seconds and I'm good to go.
Please guys, if your a flashaholic or your going to play with your efs, back it up with a proven app or learn to use DD and backup with it. Link to EFSpro:
Sorry if I've been late on replaying to your comments guys, but I 'm so busy with exams.
When IT will finish I will come back and replay.
and thank you all very much.
If you have warranty then un root flash a stock ROM and head to a service center and feign ignorance. Sweet talk you way through for a free restore. It worked for a friend of mine here in India.

I and I'm sure others are well aware of the law however the entire basis of the rule is under the pretence that you do not own the phone because it is under contract and each monthly installment will get you closer to actually owning the phone. I however bought this phone without a contract and android under the GPL licensing is open source therefore in my case I can unlock the phone (which tmobile all ready did for me). So on a superfluous layer I can see why you think it is illegal but it is not.

Hello.
After root and update my ICS 4.0.4 to v2_c_o_h_s_XXLT4_Lite_Snote2 I got a Yellow triangle in boot menu.
Saw some posts in xda and and installed a old version rom GB 2.3, using the app "triangle away" to reset counter and it worked. After this installed back the v2_c_o_h_s_XXLT4_Lite_Snote2 and v2.1 update. Now I'm having an issue about SIM PIN pop window, it doesn't come on. Tried full wipe data, Live note 4 ROM and the problem remain. The only ways to get SIM card working is removing PIN in security menu or deactivate and activate sim pin in that menu in order to register to sim network. Anyone had this issue or have a solution for this kind of "problem". Before, with first ROM this didn't happened.
Sorry about english. Hoppe you understand.
Regards.
Please check your IMEI. Does it start with 00049...?

Then you will become a user of my Custom Rom , because I have the same problem and solved it for me with a workaround.
From the start:
You ruined your EFS and so your IMEI is a so called "developer IMEI" now. See your original number inside of your device (remove battery). If you didn't backup the EFS you can't repair the IMEI yourself.
There is one polish guy who can repair IMEI remotely (www.cvxcvx.pl) - he takes some money for it.
As a workaround you have to use an android.policy.jar from one of the early JB dumps (I use it with my Custom Rom). Then the Sim card is recognized after booting and you get network connection.
If you do not use this you only can disable the pin check
or
change the sim pin (simply use the old one as new one, so you do not have to remember a new number).
Really?...
I didn't knowed! And if I install a stock rom, it will remain the issue?
So, the only solution is to have the phone without sim pin? (I didn't made any efs recovery if I'm rememeber).
Do you think it could be the "triangle away" app that made it?
