Try to flash diffferent firmware. Maybe some fault/incompatibility with the firmware you flashed.

Sounds like the IMEI config in the BIOS has been corrupted. It will have to be reconfigured.

i just flash custom rom ChobitsDigitalisV1_ROM and finished but getting error imei and phone modem unknown..
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.

Did you droppe dyour device? I dropped once and my phone can't read my sim card. No pin needed after boot and can't call. Bring it to repaire. I guess it is the hardware problem

[Q] Help needed, stuck after updating firmware (emergency call)

Hi,
Well my device which is S5 mini g800f working fine, since I have changed the firmware which was old like build on july so I tried to installed latest, but now there is emergency call showing, also I have tried manually and automatically to register on the network but it says unable to register to the (---network). I did it coz my device was not showing LTE network. However my sim supports the 4g and was working on S4 i9505. I have searched on Google and look out many threads on XDA but no success until now.
The biggest mistake was I didn't looked the firmware which was already there and was running with 3g support. I have tried these EUR-G800FXXU1ANL1-20141226162921, SER-G800FXXU1ANG1-20140709112536, MAT-G800FXXU1ANI3-20141218172328. Then I have installed Custom Lollipop but no success was there too.
So now any pro's here who can understand my problem ? My imei is showing, is there any procedure where I can put the imei and it will let me know what was installed on stock :crying:
Sorry for being noobish..
Please any buddy give me suggestions that what should I do ? Or should I look in the specific section of XDA forums ?

Its is mentioned mate what I have written, I said my imei is showing that by dialing *#06# I can see it, because there is a problem where the efs folder corrupted or gone you cant see imei or imei appears to be in these digits 00000 especially by installing custom roms. Anyways my only motive is that I know the imei and how ever I can see it too, so is there any procedure where I can put the imei to the website and see what was installed on stock. Because I dont have the box so I dont know which firmware was there when I installed another rom to get LTE, because it was working properly as I said in my earlier post.
Problem is due the baseband I am pretty sure which is not matching, this is the reason because I cant connect to the network---error msg (Unable to connect).

The baseband firmware is included in the firmware packages that are available on sammobile (.tar.md5 files). If you flash the firmware package with Odin, also the baseband firmware (contained in modem.bin) will be flashed.
If you have problems with a newly flashed stock firmware that were not present with the original firmware it might be because of one of the following reasons:
You flashed the wrong firmware. I don't think that the version name of the original firmware is stored somewhere. Instead check sammobile for the correct one: select the correct phone model and your country. EUR, SER (for Russia), MAT are country codes, choose the correct one for your country, the search function on sammobile will help you with that. You can also try Kies for restoring the firmware. Maybe that is able to determine the correct firmware according to the IMEI or some other information stored on the phone.
Maybe your EFS partition was changed and corrupted. The EFS partition is the partition that contains the IMEI and other information like calibration files that are specific for your device. If any of the files in this partition is damaged, the phone might not behave correctly. If you flash another firmware the EFS partition normally is not changed.
Your hardware is defect.
I guess that you simply flashed the wrong ROM. Otherwise the problem will be hard to fix.

HELPP!!!! Searching..

I keep getting searching on my signal when i put my sim card in but it has bars... How do I fix this? And it keeps saying to register to network and when i do it says its not available..
Hey
Have you checked your IMEI number to make sure the phone is not blacklsited? Dial *#06# and then input that number into www.swappa.com/esn and or www.checkesnfree.com and hat'll tell you.
If you need help with anything and find out you're black listed (which it sounds like you are) or just have questions feel free to Message me.

My IMEI is not blocked...
Could be a damaged NV file. If you're clean imei and everything that would typically indicate damaged software to me. Have you tried flashing stock firmware to the phone? That might help repair the damage, afterwards perform a factory reset and wipe cache. A .qcn file written over a smart card usually fixes those connectivity issues. Just some ideas.

It is a 910T which means its for T-Mobile and I have T-Mobile, it has signal bars but no service it says searching the whole time and this happens everywhere i go and it does not catch anything. I have odin flashed, I have done a modem flash but still nothing works.
I know you're saying your IMEI isn't blocked, but did you 100% check here?

The first thing I'd do is ODIN to restore to 100% stock ( I know you've done it but I'd do it again.. make sure you put it in download mode with the 3 button combo, not any other way.) on the stock rom, do you have this issue?

Been on stock to fix this issue but nothing has worked.. There obviously no other way to odin the phone unless if its in download mode which i did.. I'm thinking hard ware issues
Did you do a nandroid by any chance? I had the same issue when I flashed a Rom, it corrupted my IMEI, nothing worked until I restored from my backup..
Were did you get this device??

Flashing an official ROM should not mess with your EFS. What do you mean you lost your GSM network? Have you checked your APN?

The ROM I was using was flashing with cloned IMEI after flashing my N920C with fresh version of official ROM the GSM network is gone and when I install my Sim Card it is shows only "emergency call". I checked while the IMEI is gone or not and saw it is still there. I need a solution for activate GSM network and see GSM signal. Some of my friends said that my ./efs file is corrupted so I need patched ROM that can fix my ./efs file automatically after flashing. Is there any why to recover it ?

I understand your situation now. As far as I know there is not a way to recover your EFS. I could be wrong. I have heard of others getting their EFS back after flashing official firmware. You may be out of pocket on a repair. Good luck to you.

I am sure Samsung can fix it. You will have to pay though. You could also try searching for efs recovery because you might get lucky. I do not know a whole lot about it but from what I have seen, if flashing official firmware does not fix it you are out of luck. I am not sure about future releases of ROMs that may fix it.

Thanks for your replay. I fixed my phone and its working now. I did these steps:
1- Untar the official ROM.
2- Delete Modem file from the rom.
3- Re-tar the ROM.
4- Flashing using Odin.
5- Fixing EFS by repairing it using z3x box.
Thanks again :fingers-crossed:

URGENT: Re-installed Stock Firmware (update-6.0.1) - NO NETWORK ACCESS

Hey, everyone, I need some help:
On my SM-920G, I re-installed stock 6.0.1 (last official update before 7.0) and, now, I don't have access to the network (says emergency calls only). IMEI and serial number are both intact. What can I do to regain access to my network? I know it's not a motherboard problem because it happened after flashing stock software. I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR HELP.
Thank you,
VinceLupe

Did you install the right firmware for your region? You should check that or flash right modem file. If all else fails use kies to restore phone to factory or flash a custom rom and check if everything works.

So, I actually had to have an IMEI change... Long story - but, my question now is: is it possible to return to stock (completely stock) and NOT lose my IMEI number? I've heard some people say, "yes," and O be heard some people say, "no." Is it possible?

I don't think there is any risk of losing IMEI if you flash stock with odin, but if you have root then firstly take an efs backup, just in case, efs is where your IMEI is stored.

If you have root then in the root folder you will find a folder called efs. Just copy it and save it to your SD card or your computer. If you have custom recovery then you can save it from the backup option but I guess that won't help much if you flash stock with odin then it will remove your custom recovery. There are also some apps on the play store but I never used them, I use the first method.

Yeah, I'm just on stock, so that won't work - but, now I have another issue:
So, here's what happened... I got my IMEI changed, and all was good. But, then I realized that my phone was rooted. I tried to flash magisk to have magisk installed, and then my phone wouldn't boot up. Afterwards, I flashed stock to restore official device status, but when I did so, I realized that my network wasn't working. My IMEI (clean IMEI) is still showing, but I DO NOT have any access to my network and can't search the web or anything. What could be the issue, and what is the easiest way to fix it?

Did you flash the correct firmware? The same region as it was when it was working? Flashing a stock rom from a different region sometimes causes this and you need to flash the right one or at least the 'modem' file of the right one to get it working. Or you could use Samsung Kies software to completely recover your phone to its original state when it was bought. Also, What do you mean by saying changed IMEI? Did it not show it correctly or got corrupted and you fixed it? or you changed it completely to a different one from the original?
If you have a good IMEI just call your provider and give them your IMEI and your sim card numbers.

CodeNameRedNeck,
So, I have a good IMEI number, but I cannot register the network service. It tells me "Emergency Calls Only" even though it shows a signal in the top right hand corner. Are you saying that I just need to call TIGO (I am in Bolivia) and register my IMEI number as well the SIM card numbers - or, could it be that there is an even deeper issue? Also, which SIM card numbers are you talking about? Thank you, my friend.

Mufrad,
I completely changed the IMEI to a clean one because, apparently, when I traded for the Note 5 (I am in Bolivia, and that's what people do here), the original IMEI was put on the blacklist. So, now I have a completely different IMEI that is clean (unreported), but I do not have any network access at all - furthermore, when I access the menu using *#0011#, it says "IMEI Status: NG" under IMEI Status. I'm not sure if it's a software problem? I have a friend looking at the phone, but I do not have any idea how it's going because he still hasn't been able to fix it.

When my son switched from an iphone to Android we had to call AT&T and give them those numbers before it worked. I had an Xperia phone that I had to do the same with. There are apps that can read your sim card number. It should also be printed on your sim card.
