Hi itamarsea, have you tried checking settings/wireless and networks/mobile networks/access point names
check if your settings are stored for 3 network.
Or check settings/ about phone/ status/ IMEI
check that IMEI number is still the same.
re setting
imei-unknown
network-unknown
imei sv-unknown
phone no-unknown
Type
*#06*
in dialer and see what number comes up.
Also what firmware are you on, jv1?
Type in *#1234# for firmware info.
It could just be a corrupt install. Iv flashed 2.3 on my sgs with odin about 5 times and tried about 3 2.3 roms and iv had no problems (Other than some buggy memory handling)
pda xwjn1
phone unknown
csc unknown
2.3 is beta A greek word for unfinished .
Factory reset that fails
Flash different rom via Odin .
You started at step two of flashing i presume and failed to backup your efs folder .

Same thing on my phone, I flashed one JPM firmware with odin and nothing, tried with gingerbread and nothing... any info would help. thnx in advanced
Hi,
I have the same issue: NO SIM CARD!
My phone is locked and today I wanted to try insert another sim card, just to see if the message: "Insert the unlock code..." appears. After this, I noticed it's not working, so I put back the original sim card and realized that I have no network and got this notification message: NO SIM CARD.
I checked the IMEI code and it's the same, any hints, tips?
Is there some kind of problem with my sim?
If anybody can help me, I'd be more than grateful.
Firmware version: 2.2.1
Baseband version: I9000XXJPY
Kernel version: 2.6.32.9 (Voodoo stable 5.4.1)
Build number: Darky's v9.3.XWJS5
As a few people mentioned before it's a beta rom so it contains bugs. This may be one of them. If your imei isn't a lot of 0 you probably won't have problem after they fix this bug

IMEI appears as unknown even after flashing darkys rom os a stock rom :S
I don't know how the Galaxy S stoores the imei, but my spica uses the efs partition for it, and this partition doesn't change when you reflash a rom (even if you used odin).

EFS file may change after flashing a rom enough posts on here about it .
Rule one of flashing is to backup your efs folder .
Copy backed up efs to phone to fix
Probable fix as you have flashed custom roms is to use Odin and flash stock rom that may fix your efs .

Stock rom doesn't fix the efs. There is a guy at samdroid.net who can restore Spica's imei, maybe you should ask him if he is able to do it with your phone. Check out this url: http://forum.samdroid.net/f28/complete-imei-restore-how-1817/
Sorry, I found that I9000 is not supported.
theres a post about imei and pcode prblm check the forum,if u ave a backup of efs than ur lucky.usually if u screwed ur imei thts prblm m8.flash ur stock rom,get ur phone rooted,,there r good free apps for tht.download astro or root exp or lynda file manger.u can c a folder efs check tht out first.if u ave a backup of efs u can restore.for doubt pm.....cheeerz

[Q] How to recover IMEI when no backup was done

Hi there,
I have a galaxy S I9000. The IMEI i have on my phone when i press *#06# is 004999010640000.
I have NO backup of the EFS folder. Sure.
However, I know the IMEI has it is written on the back on the phone.
How can i restore that?
i have to say that i tried downgrading using ODIN... phone is ok in download mode... I did a lot of research but no luck so far.
Thanks
Hello to recover your IMEI you have to flash a stock 2.3.6 ROM and then backup your EFS folder.
After installing new version, if the problem is persist then restor simply your EFS folder.
Hi Higgins91
Thanks for your answer. With all due respect, I dont think it is a correct solution as I tried it and it did not work.
However, maybe before reinstalling the Stock 2.3.6 i should have tottaly delete the EFS folder (the one with the wrong IMEI). Then the Stock "could" recreate the EFS with the correct IMEI on the phone... (thats only what I did read in another forum - But I have not tested).
Luckily I found my previous EFS backed up. (I thought i never did it, but i did 2 years ago ehheh).
Subject closed, even if there is no real bullet proff solution for that.
Thanks
theres athread in here somewhere about that sorry cant remember where read it about a year ago and if it wasnt here it was on darkyrom Q&A maybe

Lost IMEI

Hello, I lost IMEI data from my i9305 :\
Trying to fix it whole day, but I give up now, im done.
I tried several guides (sammobile.com/forum/showthread.php?t=15196) but nothing helps.
Basicly biggest problem I face is that when I dial to *#7284# it shows "Network is not avilable" so nothing happens, or with another method with removing EFS folder, after backuping it at SDcard1 I have no .nv_data file to modify it and fix everything.
I use SentinelROM v6.0, I tried installing some modified modems, but it was retarded from me. I installed one from orginal firmware today meanwhile I was trying to fix IMEI :\
Can anyone help me?
@edit
I dont have backup. Imei and baseband - unknown ;(
I also would like to add that I know my imei (have it written down :3), but can I somehow rebuild efs based on it :3?
I feel so lucky, I flashed orginal firmware through odin and everything is fine now I just need to upload 4.4 again, and make backup for future!
That was my lesson :3 Thread can be closed.

[Q] My IMEI was deleted. Factory data reset doesn't help.

Hi All,
Something really strange just happen with my GT-I9295.
So I got the 4.2.2 version from the box. I recived an automatic upgrade which I have accepted and installed. But strangly after installation the version still 4.2.2. One week later the IMEI number just disapeard durring the night and cannot recover it anymore.
Network
Unknown
IMEI
Unknown
I didn't installed any custom ROMs, nothing.
I found that the IMEI number should be in EFS folder after factory data reset, but this file is missing there.
I have my IMEI under the back-cover, but how I can re-enter it in my phone ?
I heard the param.bin for gti9295 could help ? Could somone drop it here ?
I bought the phone 2 weeks ago
When I tried to repair it I have root it. How I can check my KNOX counter to see if I can send it back to Samsung ?
Thanks in advance and sorry for my english!

[Q] Lost IMEI

Hi guys,
A friend of mine made her Galaxy Note "fly" on a wall (being a bit bored obviously... )
After that the phone had no network.
Checking it, I found the plane mode was ON and unable to turn OFF, and the IMEI was null/null typing *#06#
I tried then to flash via Odin the only firmware I found at the moment, which was a 1 part 4.1.2 XEF (found and got on Sammobile), which made a real update though the phone was still on 2.3.6
The flash got OK, I could turn the plane mode OFF, but still no IMEI
Tried to flash the 16 Gb pit > all the same.
I eventually found a 3 parts 2.3.6 firmware, and as we "saved" some SGS with the 3 parts JVU, rebuilding EFS rep like magic, I tried.
The flash was OK, but still no IMEI.
Guess what, no EFS save to restore.
If someone has any idea, though I definetly think it's over and needs to be sent to repair...
Thanks by advance
One more detail : sneaking the efs folder with ES Explorer, I discovered that the nv_data files are missing!
My feeling right now?
"Houston? We have a problem! "

I have the same problem I have my IMEI number at the back of the Phone but no way to write it to my Note2 I wish someone can please help us.
As far as I know, we don't have simple ways to rewrite an imei.

Did you try this one?
I did personally not, though the nv_data files did not exist anymore in the efs folder.
