Flash back to stock KK4 (without bootloaders). That should fix your IMEI problem.
To avoid further problem, once on KK4, make a backup of your efs folder. Which can be used if it ever happens again.
You'll have to work your way back up to CM10 from KK4. As always, follow the full instructions.

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
Lost my IMEI flashed stock rom reset it .

Corrupted /efs folder. If flashing to stock ROM didn't help, then it's over, you're stuck with no GSM, and possibly all other wireless features (GPS, Bluetooth, WiFi)
Sorry to hear that, but next time flash ROMs that are tested by other people and are reported to have no problems. Yes, it can happen with every flash at any given time when you don't expect it, but I'd rather go for tested "safe" ROMs. Unfortunately, for those who are scared, I can't seem to find a way of backing up the /efs folder on Galaxy Mini!
Anyway to backup efs without the use of pc.

[Q] IMEI number is invalid !!

I'm Using Now JB Rom And That Message Come To Me
A problem was detected with your device. Your device IMEI number is invalid. An invalid IMEI number Could cause network issues including the inability to call emergency numbers.
And By the way If I Flashed ICS It Work Fine With No Problem
I Don't Know Why This Problem Show In JB Roms
Any Ideas ?
CyanogenMod10 (JellyBean) is checking the validity of the device's IMEI during startup; ICS doesn't do that.
Try to restore your efs folder from your backup.
If you don't have a valid backup (i.e., same fake IMEI like 0049... is generated), you should install Samsung stock Gingerbread firmware. That should generate the proper IMEI. Backup the efs folder, so you can restore your IMEI incase it gets lost again after having JB installed.

[Q] How to restore my IMEI?

Hello everybody,
I just installed a new rom and I booted my phone and it gave me this message: A problem was detected with your device. Your device IMEI number is invalid. An invalid IMEI number could cause network issues including the inability to call emergency numbers.
Does anybody know how to restore my IMEI?
Thanks in advance
Rick
first thing always provide more detail stuuf like what you did...which rom, version so some ones can help you quickly
are you able to connect to network if yes then don't think you need to worry.
if you're are not able typo connect to network then try flashing different modems and even that not solve your offside them go back to gb and then flash the rom after rooting

GT-9305t NOT REGISTERED ON NETWORK/CORRECT IMEI

HELLO EVERYONE.
i have a samsung i9305T i flashed it wth L.P rom then suddenly
my imei went 0049. i tried anything bUt no luck. so i decided to flash a stock one
4.1.2 my imei was back. But when i try to insert my network sim it says.
NOT REGISTERED ON NETWORK . tho ived used this phone before here in the philippines
so im sure it is unlocked.
any help guys.? thank you in advance does my baseband caused the issue?
please help ...
Hi,
I'm not an expert at all but i have a theory :
I think you get a corrupted EFS. You flashed L.P rom so the format of your EFS changed to V2. So when you tried to return to 4.1.2, the phone can't read your efs anymore.
I think the solution is to flash a newer baseband, for example the L.P baseband or a KK baseband.
Read more about efs format => http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/general/ref-imei-efs-stuff-i9300-including-t2393289
Hope it helps.
