Hey guys,
I installed S3-Evolution-Beta-3.1 in my SGA a week before and just 2 days back, I found the strange problem that even if my phone had a SIM card in it, My phone was saying "No Network". First I thought, I was in the No Reception area, and ignored it. I restarted my phone, did the couple of tricks of restoring the Nandroid Back up etc. ***Nothing Worked*** to resolve the "No Service" problem.
I just flashed the DDKQ8 firmware through Odin, and the problem still continues.
Just a couple of hours back I observed that there is NO IMEI number in the settings. I tried going into the service mode and tried turn off the FTM and choose proper network bands. But nothing worked.
Now I am getting worried, Please help me out.
PS: I knew this kind of problem, and have the original IMEI number with me.
Please help!
So there isn't any possible solution?
Dial *#06#
If you can't get you IMEI number, I'm sorry but you've bricked your device, go to support service if you' ve your warranty available

Hi all,
Today I find out that my phone is not connected to Rogers network. I have US phone unlocked and unbranded. I had for 4 months now and never had this problem. Right now, when I go to Wireless setting and try to find operator it keeps looping to find one, any help appreciated.
I had to RMA my phone when this happened
I'm sorry to hear that you lost signal to Rogers. My Captivate had the same problem over the weekend (not connecting to AT&T).
My local AT&T store couldn't find anything wrong with it but recommended it was a hardware problem and can be exchanged for a working phone. Even trying a new SIM card didn't help. Luckily I had flashed to stock and had complete Titanium Backups of my apps & data.
Typing *#06# in the phone dialer brought up my IMEI number. The IMEI displayed should have been the same as what is shown underneath the phone's battery but it was not. It started with 004 instead of 351.
At this point I'm not sure the malfunction had to do with a hardware issue or my ROM flashing hobby. All I know for sure is that I made sure to backup my EFS folder before flashing another ROM.
Generic IMEI number starts with 004
It's hard to stop a TRANE but harder to BRICK your GalaxyS. It's not a hardware problem U have software is your problem and it's easy 2 fix. Just flash back to stock JH7, after that do an ODIN3 Master-Clear. When ur done all will be GOOD ur IMEI will b correct, network will be back
Hi All,
I need help with my phone samsung i9305t urgently.
I've finally hit the null imei problem and I can't solve it.
I'm currently on Cyanogenmod and when I press the *#06#, the imei comes up with a blank, and it doesn't try to connect with the network.
When I go into settings -> phone status it shows imei unknown, imei sv unknown as well.
The last thing I did before the imei died was restoring my cyanogenmod backup with clockworkmod, after installing slimrom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/development-i9305/rom-beta-t2535996
(Background : I've been having problem with slimrom as it doesn't show my SD card and switched Cyanogen nightlies. I saw that the it updated and thought I should give it a try, and it doesn't doesn't show my sd card so I just rebooted into recovery and restored the last backup I have.)
I'm not sure where to go from here, and I've been insanely frustrated in the past as I have tried to back up my imei via this procedure and using EFS professional:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...warning-guide-backup-restore-imei-nv-t1946915
... but to no avail. I really need help now as I use my mobile for work.
Please if someone can help me troubleshoot this I'd be ever so grateful. You may have to be patient with me, as although I am tech savvy, I'm currently very frustrated with the whole rooting/imei/rom thing as it just never seem to go my way.
Thanks anyone in advance!
Hmm... I'm not sure what happened, but I have an even earlier backup with Slimkat and I thought I'd try to restore that, and my imei came back on?
I'm just not sure what is happening right now... can anyone point me to the right direction to get a clue? So clueless right now....
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!
Hi everyone,
Hope you can help me solve this, cuz I'm way out of my knowledge..
My phone broke the lcd and was out of action for a few months.. After I finally got a replacement screen, the phone wasn't working and said IMEI unknown, I've tried to flash a few roms via recovery but nothing. So I just went crazy and flashed it via kies. It worked, the imei appeared but the phone was locked again..
Back to the shelf a few weeks until I could afford to pay for unlock.. When I picked it up, it was unknown IMEI again and the guy at the shop basically told me he couldn't help.
Was he right? I refuse to believe I can't recover the phone.. Can you please help?
Thanks!
Anyone?
Are you sure is that phone imei is not blocked, because provider may block if it is stolen reported.
I had the same problem after changing display IMEI unknown
But somehow it was saved from 'unknown IMEI' I don't know how.
restored efs from previous backup (twrp & philz recovery)
- no imei
I flashed stock
- no IMEI
asop
- no imei
tried different modems
again stock
- suddenly its worked
(some users reported flashing different modems worked for them)
Yes I'm sure imei is not blocked by network. Have a friend that bought a phone which he discovered the hard way it was stolen, anyway, blocked imei by network behavior is completely different.
This is what happened to me first time only valid imei after kies rom update.

If you see imei again, Make a backup using pc, there is a guide in development section. So, you can easily restore again.
My IMEI shows 350000000000006. Most of the advice I've seen on this is to flash the stock firmware. I've tried this multiple times and it hasn't worked for me. I don't have a backup of the EFS partition that I can restore, but I do know what the actual IMEI is. I'm not really sure where to go from here. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Chad
There is no way to fix that, I was facing the same problem after I updated my phone to Nougat, after trying every possible solution i.e. Odin flash, factory reset, contacting T-Mobile, I couldn't find a solution, and I had to get it fixed by a Z3X box, so find a good repair shop with Z3X box, and they will repair it for you, also, changing the IMEI is illegal in some countries, so you may have difficulties finding someone to repair your phone. After the repair, I couldn't upgrade to Nougat and I am stuck with Marshmallow because the Z3X fix didn't support Nougat at that time (a month ago).
My friend asked me to fix her phone and I am seeing the same thing, however when I boot to download mode and use the "show barcode" option (push home button instead of vol+) it shows me the proper IMEI, and the IMEI is also printed on the back of the phone. I thought that maybe because I can still see the IMEI in the "show barcode" that the EFS partition is not corrupt, but I'm starting to think it definitely is...
If I remember correctly you can change your IMEI with an Xposed module.
This had happened to me before theres 2 ways to solve this
Either replace the motherboard with another one
or take it into your carrier and say the sim card doesnt work(make sure its on stock firmware
