Hi,
I recently try to flash my phone; but I made a mistack and I use a Samsung galaxy S2 ROM
I did a backup; but since then I have a truble with the network / I can't call or text, but I have the data
I checked my imei with #*06# and it isn't th same than the one of the back
So, Does my problem can come from this?
can i fixe it?
I already used an RUU , check the radio etc.....
Thank you

I'll look into it a little more once I get off work. (10 mins, 20 mins to get home.)
This thread is going to get locked as changing the imei is illegal regardless...

What I am asking is to repair my IMEI
You have a lot of thread dealing with this in XDA
like here
MOD EDIT: removed link
Even if you only want to "restore" the IMEI, that are still instructions to change the IMEI which can be used for illegal activities.
Therefore: Thread closed.

If your imei starts with a bunch of zeros, you've got a problem. You could try going into cwm and format everything (backup your sdcard contents first obviously) and then flash a different ROM.
If that doesn't help, you could send it to regenersis to fix

I have the fallback one (00049..). Thanks for advice
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA
I've "hospitalized" the phone at a Samsung center. For 30-35€ they'll send it to the OEM to jtag and flash the IMEI.
I've thanked you all for the advices and support (yup, I consider humor as support too, it helps relieving stress )
Now, could i get the topic closed please?

Why are you questioning the people trying to help you?
Look either give it a try or deal with a borked imei.
The reason they are suggesting that is because unless you tried to install a vibrant rom all of the non stock based roms back up your imei and when flashing back to stock it is restored.
Again why are you questioning people offering help?

You will have better luck trying the link I posted :/ It fixed my IMEI about 15 times and I am have sent the link to many others to fix their problems. The link you posted will do you no good for two reasons. First, it is a guide about how to backup your IMEI which you already lost. (can't backup what you don't have) Second, the guide is for the Samsung Galaxy S III. If you do have a SGSIII, then you are in the wrong fourm and my link will screw your device over. If you have a Samsung Galaxy S 4G, then it will flash you back to GB rooted w/ CWM. If you are still secptic about my advice, then don't take it. Hope you enjoy a phone with no service.
Why r u ppl so jumpy?
"Enjoy phone with no service"
"Why r u questioning ppl who are trying to help"
All i try to do is to fix my imei and on the way im trying to understand whats going on.
The link you gave me was for deleting trash from my phone to save battery life (i personally thought that, maybe, you just copy pasted the wrong link), my IQ is well above average, but i guess im missing a connection between batter life trash files on the phone and recovering IMEI.
please enlighten me.
Flashing stock did not help .. and i have always been using the original Tmobile roms... downlaoded from Sampro.pl
Never anything custom.
thank you for your help.

It was the correct link, and it works. What do you have to lose? Absolutely nothing. I will take all the blame if it doesn't work, but in my experience it does work. I have no idea why it works, it just does. I just want you to have a happy working phone. Sadly, I have not been on a "stock" ROM since I joined xda, so I have no idea how to fix your problem and keep you on stock. Out of curiosity, what Android version are you on now?

Well if your main point from that link is to go back to stock (you have mentioned to go part 3, which is just that) then it doesnt work..
Coz i flashed to froyo 2.2.1 and it did not help only thing that changed was that opposed to 00000000/05 i had 000000000/04 ...
I have also wiped the cache
Then i have flashed the GingerBread 2.3.6 kj6.
Nothing changes .. Tmobile doesnt accept phones with "0" IMEI.
im sure its possible to write it in .. just cant find it...
thanks.
Have you actually tried it yet? Anyways, I am sorry about your phone, and I haven't seen a way to write in your IMEI in all of my time on xda.

It might , the problem is that i do not have the hidden menu .. it doesnt exist in SGS4g
I'm assuming changing the IMEI is legal.
NO... You can fix your device though to retain the same IMEI contained behind your battery

Did you put a custom rom on your phone? If so was it a new baseband/firmware?
Have you tried using DME4 or newer modem?
Also are you using the N7100 (normal) or N7105 (4G) I ask cos I see you're on EE who have 4G over here.

You've been answered - search is your friend.
There's a dedicated thread for unlocking, which requires specific ROM and radio that you need to flash in order to unlock. Find the thread - not hard - and do what is says to do. No need to bother people being lazy.
I give it to you this is not the easiest of the searches to come across.
You have to follow directions and know what you're doing in terms of flashing ROMs ...
