Well, I don't know about that one. I was answering the op with a Verizon s3. I would have guessed it would work for you too, but looks like it doesn't

I had that same problem when that happened to me months ago. My solution was to wipe and install the stock rom that was shipped with the phone before it would let me connect. Later versions of the stock rom do not work. If this works for you, please post it in that thread that it worked. Apparently I can't post in the Android Development section yet...

If you have lost your IMEI/ERI you a few ways you can try to get it back.
1) You can use Odin to go all the way back to ICS and then reprovision your phone. Once you're on stock ICS type *2767*3855# in your dialer. Go to part five of this guide.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28530394&postcount=1
Once you have service back you then use casual to root,unlock and flash custom recovery. Then before you flash any roms to go Synergy thread and download the HW backup zip to make a backup of your IMEI/ERI and put that folder away for safe keeping..ie hdd, drobpox,etc.
2) I was able to get mine back without using Odin with this method.

I, too had to restore my imei using this method. So much easier to backup in case you lose it and super easy to flash the zip file in custom recovery.

Dadgumit people! Read!!!
Try flashing the 10/17 build or invisiblek's or aeroevan's latest... Then go to settings > mobile > CDMA subscription and change it to ruim/sim and toggle airplane mode.
If that doesn't work, there's plenty of people here who would be glad to teach you how to Odin. OR just read one of the 7 other threads like this one and you'll find the Odin instructions.

Ajrty,
I am in the same boat as the above people.
I flashed back to stock rooted ICS (root66) backup that I have via TWRP. Z NOT via Odin.
Once I was on ICS I did the 2767.. trick and it rebooted my phone, I then flashed back to Clean ROM and still have the issues..
Do I need to UN root and lock via Odin and then try this thing?
What the heck is going on here!

You most likely lost you imei/min or something, you can check in settings>about phone>status. Easy way to correct it is to flash a older stock ICS image and use the reprovision code. Flash this in odin then type this in the dialer *2767*3855# and that should fix ya back up. Flashing anything carries a risk of dropping your imei but it happens much more on AOSP roms.

What exactly are we supposed to read. Clearly all these guys know how to odin. Your instructions while potentially helpful aren't on the op for the cm 10.1 rom so what have we failed to read? The 13 million other posts?
The issue is the 10.1 build being hugely flawed with no warning and how to remedy it. It happened to every other guy posting on this thread. Clearly it's not an isolated incident. So thank you for your suggestion and calm down a smidge please.

I used how to for soft brick to get back to stock, then used how to repair iemi/roaming issue
Follow thoes 2 guides and youll be good, it worked for me
Just make sure that you unlock your bootloader again and reflash cwm from rom manager
Also be prepared to reflash the cm10 nighty from get.cm (make sure it is 10 not 10.1) because verison will push a software update without even going into setting/about phone/software update
Last of all you will need to update your baseband/modem

I flashed CM10.1, first time losing my data.. got it back by ODIN to stock, then typing his magic code in above.
Love you
I found a quick fix
Ok here is how to fix it I just sorta stumbled upon this.. Re flash cm10.1 when it is first activating either pull your sim or go into airplane mode by pulling down with two fingers from the top and accesing quick settings. then finish the setup over wifi- turn the phone off pop your sim out and put it back in and reboot. now when you take off airplane mode it should be fixed but it wont activate so just use Odin and re-flash root66

I heard the airplane fix is in the CM thread where it belongs. It is not a Q&A thread if it is a known issue with a particular rom. It belongs in that rom thread.

i had the same problem, flash back to the stock rom and dial *2767*3855# it will re-provision your phone and you wont be roaming any longer
How to Fix maybe
First, I installed back to stock settings and radio. I followed the instructions in this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1762709
I did the stuff in section 5. Including Flashing a Stock Radio. So I went back to the VRALG1 4.0.4 ROM.
And I did the I535VRLHE radio.
But it still didn't work. BUT, once in stock settings, I did the reprovisioning.
*2767*3855#
And then that finally worked, it went through, and my phone activated.

This worked for me and i was in the same situation as you
Please help me!!!!!!
I have the same issue with the roaming and am not able to make calls, txt, or data. I have dont all of these steps. Back to stock and put the magic number in an still the same. Thank you in advance
Hey guys, I am at the end of my rope here, so maybe you can help me out.
I have been dealing with the Media service bug that drains battery super fast for the last few days on my wifes rooted SGS3, and I have been jumping between roms, deleting SD files, searching for corrupt apps/media all to no avail. Tonight, in an effort to fix this issue, I flashed the most recent CM10 nightly as I heard it had a fix for this issue. I have no idea if that is true, because when I got to the setup screen after flashing, I kept getting an error that said that setup crashed and could not run. I had to boot back in to recovery, flash again, only to find the same error.
I then attempted to flash clean rom, except now I see that her phone is always roaming where my Note2 right next to it is on 4G. I flashed an older CM10 nightly for her, and the same issue popped up where it is only roaming.
Did the failed CM10 flash screw something up? How can I get her off roaming and back on 3/4G? Thanks!

OK, so I was able to get signal back (shows 4/3G), however she is unable to actually text or call from her number. She can use google voice though, so I am guessing it is something specifically with her number. Maybe the IMEI thing you mentioned. Assuming she has her signal back, would dialing that set of numbers reactivate her, or would I still have to do the ODIN steps?
It there is data then that dialer code should fix the calling, but you need to be in ics to do it

Yeah, I am pretty sure she has data. She is not at home, and when she left a bit ago we thought all was well (since she had the 4G indicator whereas before it said roaming) but she just used GVoice to text me to say that she cannot call or text using her VZW credentials. When you say that she needs to be in ICS, would any ICS rom do? She is in the newest version of Cleanrom right now, so I will have to flash something else I think. As for using ODIN, that is kinda out of the question because we are on vacation and the internet here sucks. It would take 2 weeks to download the stock VZW image, but if that is the only option then I guess that is how i goes. Thank you in advance for all your help!

Im actually downloading a torrent of the stock image for regular desktop ODIN and it is moving fairly quickly. That being said, using a custom rom would be easier (wouldnt I not have to use ODIN at all, just flash it like a normal rom?). If that is the case, can I download your route 66 rom, boot into recovery, wipe, flash then use the dialer code?
EDIT: Whoops, I misunderstood your previous post. I think we are talking about the same thing. I am torrenting the route 66.tar file right now. You are suggesting that I use VZW 4G on her phone to dl the tar file then flash with mobile ODIN? I have never used mobile ODIN to my knowledge so I am not sure how to go about that.
EDIT 2: I just checked out mobile ODIN on the market, and that seems easy enough. So I just finish this .tar dl, put it on her SD, load the app and follow its directions to flash it. Once that is flashed, reboot and dial that code. Then Flash whatever rom I want (say, back to cleanrom). Is that about right?

That's pretty much it, with mobile Odin you'll just click open file. It will put the different parts (kernel, recovery,etc) in the correct section. Then you click flash, support easy and faster then normal Odin. Also if you make a backup before doing this you can just restore your backup after fixing the network problem.

You are awesome! I am sure you factored this in to your suggestion, but if I backup her current rom, then ODIN, then restore, it will not undo what I did with ODIN, correct?

Haha, this is why CM warns us not to flash the nightlies unless we know what we are doing, which you and I did not I guess.
Basically, to get your cell signal back you need to flash back to a different firmware version. You do this through a program called ODIN which is a desktop program for Windows or a paid app in Android. I am going the paid app route mostly because it is a bit easier, but the desktop version is free.
I have not tested the solution yet, but I have read on other posts that it works. If you do the app route, you select the firmware file with the app, run the process (it should be self-explanatory in the app), then once the new firmware is on, you dial a special verizon code to get your signal stuff fixed. Below are the files you need.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762204 (this is the firmware file that you will flash using ODIN)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.mobileodin.pro&hl=en (this is the mobile ODIN app)
Dial *2767*3855# once you have the firmware on to in theory fix the signal issue
After that, you can reflash your rom, but do not flash the CM nightly again!

OK, so a bit of a hiccup. I ran ODIN with the .tar file you suggested, and after going through the expected flashing and what not, the screen went black with my LED notification light blinking blue. I pulled the battery after about 10 minutes of this, booted into recovery then rebooted and it did the same thing. Ideas?

To clarify, it takes me to a menu called "Android System Recovery" with the following options:
reboot system now (takes me to the black screen)
apply update from external storage
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache
apply update from cache
Any idea what I should be doing or what I did wrong?

That's stock recovery. Not sure why it's not booting correctly. I would say just use desktop Odin and re flash

I did not reboot after the driver install, so I will do that. As for the MD5, what is that and how do I verify? You are talking about the firmware download, right?
Hello guys, couple days ago I bought a SGS4G, the T-Mobile one, not sure if there's another versino anyways the model is SGH-T959V.
When i turned on the phone everything was alright, but it wasn't recognizing my sim card, so i thought it wasn't unlocked, but that wasn't the problem.
I checked the settings and the phone info and i saw baseband unknown, imei unknown, everything! so i did a factory reset, flashed to stock, got 2.3.6 rom on it. Nothing worked only thing that appears now is the MAC address, can someone please help me!? I'm really desperate and I need to use that phone, really need to use it!

hi. don't sure how i fix this everytime i had this issue but a few days ago i encountered it again. took me some hours, done flashing to stock to restoring and so forth but still it was no good, still no signal because of unknown imei and baseband. then i re-read some things about this issue. finally it lighted up my mind and solved this.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1480418 - The Definitive Noobs Guide to Flashing and/or Fixing the SGS4G! POST QUESTIONS HERE! by Juls317 said that Modem ([Mo]dulator [Dem]odulator) -> helps your phone interpret wireless signals sent from your cell network and wireless routers and also send data back to them (flashing different modems can help improve your cell reception) (thanks FB) . once i re-read this , i assumed that this is what i need to bring back my lost imei. (credits to him)
tried flashing a modem of galaxy s 4g and boom! the signal,imei and baseband of my phone came back.
so here's what I did:
I flashed a stock rom of galaxy s 4g. froyo or gb, doesn't matter which two. (via odin) check the pda then reboot
next, I flashed again via odin a bootloader with cwm. (check the bootloader and let it reboot)
then, flashed again via odin a modem of galaxy s 4g (i used kj6 cause i remember mine is kj6) check the phone then reboot
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192436 - here's the link of modems by fbis251 (credits to him also)
the reason i flashed a bootloader with cwm is that i have a zip of sgs4g rom in my sd card which i'm using currently.
then i reboot into cwm and flashed my saved rom in sd card via install zip from sd card.
after that, i restored my backup in cwm and there my phone is, still good as my last backup.
i'm not familiar with using the adb terminal emulator so i don't know about those things they said about the efs folder in renaming the .bin files to recover the imei. sorry for not giving the whole step-by-step flashing things but i'm sure you'll understand some things i said especially those who uses Odin. hope this helps!good luck!

Tried getting help. I recently tried a fresh install of cm13. When it booted up it searched for a network. Went to network settings and let it look for a network. Found sprint and said it was trying to connect or register. Now I'm only getting schity 3g data sometime. No 4g. Almost seems like its not using the sim card. Tried booting up without it and it was still working?
Edit: using the g900p for sprint
Someone please help. All is appreciated

it was the 6-27-16 nightly build. had a few little issues and tried a clean install. when it booted, it couldnt find a provider i guess so i went to settings-cell networks and tried to search. it found sprint, under network operators, tried to connect and couldnt. just sat forever saying registering. also its working the same with or without a sim card. i thought it should be using the sim card for the 4g?

If you're that desperate go back to a stock rom. Your sprint network will work. Then when you have time play with other roms.
i have tried to go back to stock through recovery and doesnt work. im on ok4. do i need to odin that?
ive tried stock ok4 and its stuck at the booting screen with samsung. is there a one click thing for this?

Use Odin to go back to complete stock. That should fix this issue. If you should then wish to do so take the OTA to MM. After you do that make a backup in TWRP that way if you screw up you can restore a full backup in minutes. I have trouble getting everything to work on the other custom roms as well. That's why you keep a good copy of a backup to restore in twrp just in case. Anway, get odin and flash the stock 0K4 tar through that, it will fix you.

Okay so you tried to Odin flash that OK4 tar? That should have worked. Do you have the 4g lte sim card? I bought my s5 used and it wouldn't connect to lte until I got my sim in the mail. Otherwise I have no clue. Did you follow those instructions exactly and make sure you wiped your phone completely before taking the tar file?

this phone was bought new, with 4g working. has worked fine up until now. took the tar file from the link, flashed with auto restart and reset time unchecked, said it passed, then got to the samsung splash screen and got stuck there. is there another link or file i could use? i really just want all stock at this point so this dam thing will work. i can do what i need after

Hmm. Beyond trying to download the tar again I have no ideas. If it's pretty new maybe take it in?
Its not new anymore. Had it for like a year and a half. They won't touch my phone with custom stuff though....

What did you do to resolve this??
was it connecting to LTE before? if not then you might be best served getting a new sim from sprint, but if it was working before then id get a fresh tar.md5 and flash it in Odin. Here is the place ive been getting my tarballs from as of late. The server seems to be pretty fast and i can attest to the tar.md5s working quite well.
