IMEI issue Totally Lost! HellyBean - Captivate General

I flashed over the new HellyBean rom successfully after hours of work and hardship. It was a lot of trial and error till I finally fixed it. Now the only issue is an IMEI issue. I have checked out a few other guides....... long story short I'm lost and need help. Also something weird a few minutes ago when my phone was sitting locked doing nothing I got a bunch of texts and then I tried to make a call. Didn't work and all phone service is gone again. What should I do?

Are your apn settings okay?.... Is your imei restored to original now?

Flash Odin Gingerbread stock.
After that do the CWM and flash your ROM.
It happens to me when I repartition it will wipe everything.

Try to reset your apn settings and if that doesn't work then you might have to use odin to flash back to stock.

Help :/

So... I left my phone off for 3-4 days, and when i turned it on, all my installed apps are gone. And the market force closes and the search function in the market doesnt work. And cwm recovery is gone too.
I dont have a computer right now, so anyone know how i can install cwm on the phone? any help would be appreciated.

Download this and flash it with Odin.

You might need to re-convert to ext4 afterward.
EDIT
It goes on the CSC section by the way.
Can't Odin without a PC.lol

I should've read the whole post. It appears that he's on gingerbread though, so the modified recovery file won't work. He'll have to wait till he gets on a pc. :/
What FBi said. Ughhh if only the cwm didnt get erased. Do you know the cause of this problem or is it just random...?
P.S. Currently running stock KF2 deodex. Rooted. :/. Ahaha. I was on kh2 but somehow it went back to kf2..
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA Premium App
Only way it could've gone back to KF2 would be that you flashed it. The thing is that a lot of people reported having more trouble with the earlier GB builds, I'd stick with anything past KG6, so KG6, KH1 OR KH2 for now since that'll get rid of a lot of your problems.
If you do wanna stick with KF2, you'll have to flash the CSC file from KC1 through Odin, then do a factory reset. That should fix the disappearing apps problem. (Raver figured that one out).
u can factory reset from the phone if you can get into blue recovery also do factory reset and wipe cache then do it again from in the phone itself...
that should fix it..
@fbi. The thing is. I was running kh2 then after the 3days, it suddenly changed back to kf2?. idontevenknowhow. I did not flash anything or even touch my phone at all during the 3 days... And i cant get in blue recovery. Even with quickboot. . gotta wait till i can get to a pc.

Guys I was thinkin of flashin that and staying in kf2... BUT I decided that I dont really like it. Moved on to kh1 audiophile. Thanks for the help.
P.s neone know how I can fix the force close when I go to manage apps ->all

Freeze during calls

Starting yesterday my phone started freezeing during calls. I pull the phone away from my face during a call and after the screen comes back on I can't press any buttons or end the call. I have to end up pulling the battery to reset it. Everything else is working fine. Anyone have any idea what the world is going on here?
More info would help. Are you running stock or a specific ROM?

I had this problem while running stock deodexed roms. I switched to just the leaked roms and it took care of the problem.

Try doing a factory reset.
Tried factory reset, tried gtg's ultimate unbrick to go back to froyo and nothing. Also tried rooting and installing cyanogenmod but my phone kept booting i to android recovery mode instead of clockwork recovery for some reason

my friend has the same issue fixed by:
Wiping Data and doing a complete factory reset.
For the very first time I noticed this today. I think this has something to do with some random app we installed. Mine hung today even on incoming calls. A reboot fixed though.

[Q] WiFi will not turn on. WiFi ERROR

Was running 2.3.5 TPC ROM no problem. Then one day my phone started doing restarts, one or two times a day, and gets hot. Since then my wifi will not turn on. in settings it says error. I have restored nandroid backup, it worked for a day, and wifi quit working again. Then I installed SKY_ICS but no luck. Phone works perfectly, but wifi is not working.
Any idea is it hardware problem or software?

Have you tried Wifi Fixer in Google Play?

That's what I did. Just installed stock non rooted ATT ROM. Still no luck with wifi. Everything else functioning perfect. Need to send for warranty repair, but one little problem. I have download counter set to 2. I can reset it with counter reset tool through CWM, but how can I flash stock 3e recovery back without tripping counter back to one?

Flash the counter tool via ODIN, restore to factory which will remove the recovery (CWM), then your good to go for a replacement. But first try restoring to factory to see if it solve the wifi issue.
No, wifi does not work with stock ROM. Phone is fully restored to factory condition. Just counter set to 2 downloads.
How do I flash counter reset tool with Odin? Is it possible?

Problem solved with counter. Flashed stock ROM, then flashed CWM via ODIN. Then installed reset tool zip in CWM, and flashed stock recovery in ODIN.
Now counter on 0, phone goes for warranty repair.:thumbup:

Going to root/Rom my phone

I'm going to give cm10/aokp ago, my? Is if I decided to go back to a tw rom will I have to flash back to stock and restart everything from scratch or can I flash back to ics from jb through recovery with data wiped.
On my fassy I never got it to flash backwards, always put it in bootloop.
Thanks!
Just make a nandroid and you can flash away.

I always make nans between rom flashes, never flash dirty....
Will the phone boot a nan of stock root from jb?
I currently don't have a comp, so I'm using a buddies to get root....just trying to save myself from a bootloop lol.
I have had no problems so far.... But have only been on stock base ROMs though. Haven't jumped to the aosp ROMs yet, still waiting for the bugs to be worked out.

Ice to jb with butter

I'm currently running cm9 with 4.0.4. I followed these exact steps

Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app
I did this in the past and wanted to verify my cwm was the right version. I went into cwm and it showed it was the blue and grey (6.0.1.0 or something like that) however, when I clicked the "reboot button" my phone started to do bootloops and would always wind up back at cwm main screen. The rom had no problems while running it and I still don't understand why it was bootlooping.
I was able to return to stock and then progressed to Get back to cm9 with 4.0.4 (the same way I did before) I now want to make the move to JB but am unsure if I will be able to flash due to my last experience with cwm bootlooping. I like to watch a video tutorial before I flash and found this video to go from ics to jb.
http://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=plpp&v=xWBcSyj8vzU
Should I be able to follow this videos steps without bootlooping again? I have not heard of anyone else with this problem.
Thanks
It should. You might want to back up EFS. Use Zen's toolkit for that. Sometimes the IMEI get lost in the flash from ICS to JB. I like to wipe Dalvik cache, under advance, too but the wasn't in Scott's OP.
You can find link to both off the ISET page.
Sent from my SGH-i997 using xda premium
Practically same process as the one described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1878458
The video doesn't mention wiping dalvik cache and formating system.
And as psal already suggested, backup efs in case you lose imei. That would save you a trip back to stock.
