[Q] Imei Null - Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I've been googling for some time now with no luck, my phone shows imei null and I get no signal..
Yesterday I was going from MF3 to NE3 and had no troubles at all except for this at the end.
My brother has this same phone already on NE3.
*I was trying to get it to MTP + ADB and messing around ended up with *#9090# and I think that I accidentially pressed option 1 before updating, phone was still working fine until I did the update.
Please help! Im using a blackberry now.....

i think i broke my phone :( help needed

hi all
i thought i would attempt to flash my samsung s with the new beta froyo update.
i followed this guys tutorial.
( cant link to it sorry its the noobs guide with detailed instructions through kies and odin)
i used the odin approach
i managed to root the phone.
on reboot it asked for an unlock code (o2 uk) so i went on to try and follow the steps about unlocking it. which neither worked all the way through the steps.
on reboot it appears to have signal and in the about section it says i am onnected to the o2 network but when i try to make a call is says "data network not available with an ok button, which when pressed will return you to the ome screen.
any help would be greatly appreciated thanks
Almost the same problem,
installed 2.2 update successfully, the phone worked for like 3-4 days very well and after that today i discovered "Emergency calls only"
so the question now is did i bought phone which later was reported stolen? or somehow i broke it?
Anyone have any idea?
hmmm, I have the same problem! In the status menu, the number is shown, but the network, says "unknown"
Hi! I have this exact same problem except I was unlocking my phone using this tutorial:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=906255
But I didn't back up my Efs folder, now my phone is unlocked but when I put a sim card in it I have very little network and when I try to make a call I get " NO DATA NETWORK AVAILABLE".
I've tried everything but I don't know what to do!
I was thinking of two ways to fix it:
1. Reinstall froyo (not quite sure how using the samsung software as my laptop oesn't recognised the phone as a pone)
2. Downgrade to, get unlock code using market app and then upgrade to froyo again.
I know I messed up but now I really need to fix this.
Can someone PLEASE PLEASE help me out.

might need to change the modem in odin i think. just heard about it
did u try restarting the phone... just a wild guess...
I had the same issue before and was puzzled. Its actually a very simple solution:
1. Re-lock your phone, search through xda there is a code you have to enter
2. Unlock your phone
All done! Surprisingly easy
Try the Odin method in block 2 back to Eclair if ok then upgrade to Froyo .
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=818556
However your non connection might be due to not flashing a firmware with your network settings in which case manual settings of APN .
If your IMEI has changed due to flashing and you did not back up your EFS folder then little hope but do a google / search of XDA as some have reported success .

Emergency calls only
I had a custom rom that was giving that to me too. I think it means that you can access a network different from your sim (because usually emerg calls can be made from any phone I think?).
I'd try and find a rom that is optimized for your carrier or at least a modem file from a stock rom that is for your carrier. You may also need to reselect the APN settings (or enter them for your carrier). Its under settings/wireless and network/Mobile networks/access point names (use the menu button to add an APN).
you could also try re downloading and flashing the rom to make sure that is the issue. Mine said it installed OK but never booted up, redownloaded and reflashed and then it was fine but the install screens looked identical.

Hi! Thank you so much for everyone's replies!
My IMEI isn't changed and someone helped me check my efs files and they are all ok. I'm going to try and reflash froyo through the samsung software to see if the network lock comes back and then try to unlock again. For this I'm going to unroot the phone and follow samsungs' instructions.
I'm afraid to relock the phone as there are reports that say it completely messes everything up!
But I'll keep you guys posted! Wish me luck!!!!
PS. Any other suggestions are more than welcome!
So, a quick update on my situation.
I uninstalled busybox and unrooted my phone using the oneclick root tool.
Did a factory format and, surprise surprise, my phone now works perfectly!
Apart from the fact that it doesn't connect to kies, but that's a whole another issue!
Tank you so much to all of you who answered my cry for help!

check your apn settings, if they arent there phone your carrier up or go to their website and get the settings
Tried that, they were correct settings so i activated them (green dot) rebooted a cuple of times, still no signal

have a play with some different modems then would be my next suggestion, and try turning radio off then on via airplane mode also
Ok, still a noob and kina frightened to mess around with wrong files with Odin, any chance of a link, UK Vodafone is my network carrier.

Did You check the efs Folder ???
Hi, I cant get the efs folder as the phone isnt rooted, so cant choose zip from sd.

i9305 no mobile signal..what else can i try ?

I Have had this i9305 now without mobile signal, with a vodaphone it did used to show signal but in all cases it always says 'no mobile networks' or 'not registered on network' i have tried with every sim i can think of... it was suggested to flash a stock rom which i did..this made no difference, i then tried installing CM11 and followed the guide to the letter.
I know this phone is not blacklisted as i checked with the imei, i have tried flashing different modems but to be honest im not sure what i am flashing to it..i have tried three different ones now starting with XX as i am in uk...i really dont know if i have missed something or doing something drastically wrong..i have read and read and usualy i would have had this resolved by now...can anyone please help me as i want to give this handset to my girlfriend for a present very soon so we can keep in touch..i am at my wits end with it:crying:
Thanks
Try an emergency restore through Samsung Kies - this should eliminate any software related problem. Sounds to be a hardware problem though so get Triangleaway going and send it for repair if that doesn't work.
Flash 4.1.2, then enable and disable the LTE-only mode hack in the hidden service menu (the *#2263# one, not *#*#4636#*#*). (If you have root, you can also access that menu in 4.3 or even the 4.4.2 port, but it's a bit more involved.)

it won't let me do that as it doesn't list the phone as needing an emergency recovery. I flashed a stock rom and the signal is showing but it keeps saying not registered on network.. if I do a search it finds providers but when I opt for the provider of the sim it just perpetually spins at registering on network.

when you say 4.1.2 which rom.. A stock one or a custom.. could you point me please ?.. The stock rom I have flashed is 4.1.3 I didn't flash a radio after as being stock it would be there already ??
Have just followed a guide to root this unit, upon installing root checker it says this device does not have proper root, Odin reports that everything went ok and i get the red pirate android..when the phone boots a pop up comes up saying unfortunatley SU has stopped working... not sure whether KNOX is stopping this ?

please start your own thread as it is not relevant to mine.
Someone's suggested this phone is barred.. I have run a check which says it's not blocked but it's been suggested that this is unreliable...I have bars showing but just never registered on network.
Does your IMEI reported in *#06# match the one printed under the battery?

Corrupted efs. If there's a way to restore it then do it. If not then sorry for your luck.
I just got a Note 3 secondhand. It was also on 4.4.2 and showed unknown for the baseband and IMEI. I flashed the MLG modem through Odin and the baseband and IMEI now display correctly.
BUT...I cannot set up the mobile network because I am getting an error that says no SIM card is inserted. Any help guys?

i537 no sound at all (calls, music, ringtones)

Hi, I hope you guys can help me get this phone back to usable state. Recently I got a S4 Active i537 that was stuck on ATT logo, so I did a little research on how to restore the stock firmware to get it working again and came across with various threads; I finally downloaded the I537UCUBML2 stock rom and used Odin 3.07 to flash the files all worked fine except the BL_I537UCUBML2_2244695_REV06_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar but th phone booted anyways so I thinked that was the end of my problems. But after putting a sim the phone did not get any signal so I checked the about screen on settings and found that the IMEI and BaseBand were blank.
I did another search to fix that and finally could make the imei and baseband came again by flashing the Modem.bin 50,791kb file found in the GPS IMEI FIX THREAD but after getting signal I realized the phone was completely muted and calls were not working, at first I believed it was a hardware problem but now Im pretty sure that it must be some software issue because it wont even play music, ringtones. When trying to open a mp3 it shows a message saying Unsupported.
Back when it was stuck on ATT logo it was making the att boot sound so Im pretty sure that the problem its in the software itself. Please help me find the correct rom/firmware to get it working again.

Flash the NE3 firmware so you'll be on 4.4.2 and see if that fixes things. If not, report back.
Would you please share the link to that? I don't want to mess this phone even worse by downloading wrong files. Thank you
