hmmm
so you used the recover too? Then fixed the brick and now no Sim Card reading?
My Sim Card wouldn't read a new one VZW tried to put in there, so its being replaced, this might be an unexpected consequence.
which package did you use to fix your phone after trying the recover tool?

Haha yea, I was so used to doing it on my Evo that it was second nature to me. I work at my local Bestbuy, so I'm sure it won't be an issue. Plus even if they found out I did root it, to them it functions perfectly I used the almost full one. But ironically it only worked for me when I didn't click on the re-partition. I went against the grain and it worked somehow!
Same thing I did, (did re-partition however), The almost one was the only one that worked for me. Then I had to flash ED1 rooted and it came up with the sim card reading error.
Interesting.

You said that after getting a new sim card it didn't work still? Did you end up rooting your new phone? We must remember not to recover!!
That is correct, a new sim card will not work, it seems to be the reader.

OH BTW! Lookie what I found?!
SIM Card - Inserting / Removing - Motorola DROID Pro (XT610)
Do not attempt to insert or remove the SIM card with the battery still installed in the device. Doing so can harm the SIM card and / or the device.
Gentlemen! You may want to check with DroidXcon on this topic.
He had the exact same problem a couple of days ago while building one of the first ROMs for the EE4 release.
There is a software solution for the "dead SIM" issue. I just don't remember who DroidXcon contacted to fix the problem, but it did get fixed by another dev.
P.S.: When you find out the solution, it would be nice to post it here.
Cheers!

I think you are talking about the read only sdcard issue with rooted kernels on EE4... I was the dev who showed him how to fix i.. But either-way its completely unrelated
Sorry - I was sure I saw DroidXCon saying that he had a problem with his SIM card not being recognized (and the SD card problem, too) a few days ago while he was on the IRC, and we were confused how loading a new ROM would affect SIM card reading.
I'm sorry for any misinformation I provided.
My bad.
glad to know i'm not the only one in exactly the same situation
Unknown Baseband Version
Im no expert but i think the sim card is not being read because the phone has a unknown baseband version. Now if only we could find a way to restore that.
I've tried flashing stock ED1 ED2 EE4 and nothing
After flashing all those, everytime i checked settings>about phone>Baseband version says unkown
It would be awesome if a developer could look into this and find a fix for it if thats what the problem is.

hm. I haven't been able to get there fast enough.
I seem to be in the same boat. Unknown baseband version shows:

Unkown
Can't connect to network as the sim card can not be read. Hoping there is a software fix.
I really apologize if this has been posted/ answered before (which I hope it has). The search feature is currently down on the site it appears and I have not been able to find a solution:
Some background:
I followed the instructions herehttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762709
Installed AOKP and google apps and noticed that I had no reception whatsoever.
I did a nandroid restore and had occasional 4g but still no verizon service at all. I did some digging around and all indications seemed to point to my lost imei. I then followed the instructions to repair my imei via QPST.
I now have my imei back, but still practically no mobile network or 4G with occasional roaming. I tried to factory reset via the " *#22745927, then
and ##786#, but have had no luck.
Can anyone help me out?
I'm pretty bummed.
Thanks in advance.

I have also tried that to no avail.
What do you mean by to no avail? The number did not work, or it did a factory reset and you still have data problems?

Sorry for any ambiguity. I did the factory restore and still have no service or data. Maybe 1 bar of roaming that does not allow me to connect.

Hmm. Not sure what to tell you. You didn't dial *228, did you? Hope not. If you did, you could have messed up your SIM, and a new one would be the fix for that.
Not really remembering anyone else who fixed their IMEI and couldn't even get a solid connection after a provision.

Not sure what else you can do. This tool can fix your ERI so you're not roaming - but not sure what else. Looks like you might need a new SIM or something.

So I went to verizon and they gave me a new sim card which restored my data, but I am stuck on roaming now (which looks like it probably just cosmetic). I see that other people have this issue as well and the fix doesn't appear to be in yet.
My question is: If I want to go back and root and install a custom rom, which step do we think is the culprit for losing my imei? Is there a way I can prevent that from happening?
Also, do you think it probably make more sense for people to remove the sim cards through the root/ flashing process?
P.S. my ERI verision reads "none" does this contribute to the roaming in any way?

Update: Went to verizon, after odin'ing to stock. They gave me a new sim card. I configured the phone to allow roaming, etc. I have fine cellular reception (although it still always thinks I am roaming) but my data is really spotty. The data doesn't work at all where I work. I have managed to restore my imei but my ERI restoration does not appear to have worked. I tried it with revskills and went all the way through the steps but it still reads "none" under the version, even after I changed the sixes to sevens, so to speak. I then tried to use the Samsung MEID repair tool by Xda http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1867442&highlight=connect but every time I tried to "connect" the program would not respond and need to be force closed. I tried it on XP and windows 7 with the same results. It seems like there were other people with the same problem but I wasn't sure what the end result was.
Any insights or suggestions would be appreciated.
Anyone?
Same thing here. Benn running Codename Android 3.6.6 for a few days and today after I came out of airplane mode, I can not get any data service and when I try to make a call I am told my account inst authorized to call the number. Tried a nandroid backup and I tried wiping data/factory reset and reinstalling Synergy and Codename both, and still not getting anywhere.
*2767*3855# isn't doing anything in the dialer either, just sits there.
I know I am new to XDA and what not.. but I been flashing CWM roms to my phone for months, normally i never use odin for anything because its not my cup of tea...
Last night I was flashing a ODIN rom to my phone and something went wrong...
I managed to get the ROM straightened out and working... but now my service is screwed...
I am missing a ton of folders and files from my root folders... and I cannot use my phone for anything, 3g, 4g, Calls, MMS, SMS... nothing
My IMEI is missing and just says 0 and my ERI says none... but i believe i was successful in reinserting my imei.
Verizon swapped out many sim cards and still nothing... it also askes me to switch to global mode every 30 secs..
Please let me know if you can guide me though restoring my phone back to functionality..

I removed CWM Recovery,,, back to stock recovery...
restored the samsung official VZW rom and binary.
I removed the superuser and the unlock tools...
I still have no ERI and no service..
when i remove the sim card it tells me to insert it... obviously
when i put it back in an reboot it says "searching for service" and "everything i screenshotted... the imei is what i inputed with the tool in the imei tool thread you guys gave me...
however my wifi does work and my rom boots just fine... and when i factory reset my number shows up in the MDN field...
it honestly seems like the way the phone would communicate with the towers is screwed.

Alright, this just comes off as being a jerk. It sounds like he did (try to) backup his IMEI. Also, I don't see him blaming anyone for his "mishap". He was also very polite in asking for help. So was there a need in being a jerk(not just directed at you, as you were one of 3 or so to act as if he was wrong here)? I mean isn't the community here to help people? I could understand if he said ......OMG, I brickated my fone.....I hate you guys, you borked my phone.......But he did neither of those. It sounds like he read the guide, and still something got screwed up along the way. It happens. But there really isn't a need for posts like this.
Does anyone have a fix to help me???
My Phone detects no service at all... zero bars....
the wifi works, the bluetooth, pretty much the whole rom.
I just flashed the VRALF ROM directly from samsung and still nothing...
My IMEI and ICCID are there...My MEID is also there (dec and hex)
My PRL version is there... still no ERI
It says the signal strength is -120 dBM 99 asu

This owner had a similar problem, perhaps - they fixed the IMEI and related issues as described in a helpful link and their followup post:

You might consider taking the suggested link within that thread, then doing what the original poster did to restore their phone's configuration and see if that helps get out of roaming.

Check out the thread "Comprehensive IMEI Backup" in the android dev section for complete, 100% security in flashing. Its imperative that new users view this thread before flashing anything. No idea why its not stickied or made apparent in the rooting guides.

What did you end up doing to fix it. Just for future reference.
Ok I exhausted all options I could find in the forums to fix this issue. I lost My IMEI and ERI. I was able to get the IMEI back using the Samsung repair tool. The phone works fine (text, phone data) its just telling me I am roaming. I have tried all tools, RevSkills (tells me the EFS subsys is locked) Tried the samsung repair tool and click repair ERI (tool freezes and becomes unresponsive) . Tried QPST (that worked but ERI version still none and I have the little triangle on my 4g. I tried the reprovision, but the menu must be disabled or something because nothing happens when I put that in the dialer. Any guidance would be appreciated. I am running 4.1.1 stock rooted. Thanks
If on TW, I believe you have to be on ICS. After which, you're going to need to reprovision.

FIXED!!!!
Ok everybody. I think I got this fixed finally. Heres what I did
Figure it out yourself.....J\K
I am not sure if you will have to, but I Odined back to ICS because you also need to downgrade your Modem (will explain below). Not sure if those modems work with JB.
First I used the Repair IMEI tool found here to get my IMEI fixed. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1867442&highlight=subsys
(this is where I was stuck) Like I said before you need to downgrade your modem. For some reason the the new modems lock the EFS Subsys. You will get that error in Revskills if you dont downgrade. I Odined VRLF2 found here - http://rootzwiki.com/topic/34053-modems-vrlk3-verizon-sgs3-sch-i535-odin-or-recovery-flashable/
Next I used the Revskills program found on the same page (copy the ERI file and unzip it also you will need that) to fix my ERI. Watch the youtube video linked on that page and it will show you how to do it. It was really easy. Reboot and you should have ERI Version 5 with no roaming!!!
Let me know if you have any questions, I am not very good at tutorials as I am usually the one reading them

My friend tried to root him phone, and I have no idea what he did... now his baseband is gone... Baseband version unknown.
I tried to install a new xxpe and then ddlf2 still no connection.
I'll get him to JellyBam A4 same as my phone. is there any file(s) I can copy from my phone to his to make it alive again?
his IMEI from *#06# is blank.
Any ideas?

since IMEI is blank, i think the only solution there is to go to service center and let them repair it..but, if u have backup the EFS folder which contains the important files then there's a 99% u can use the phone..flashing on different ROM wont make the problem to be solve since IMEI is blank, just like my phone with no IMEI, now it is just like IPOD touch..hehe
Well he didn't back anything up.. lol
What if I took my working EFS file from my phone to his, will that work?
will he get the same IMEI as me?
can I mod the file(s) to his number, which I have from under the battery slot?

you're thinking is good that you want to ask for his EFS but sadly it is not possible coz IMEI is a unique identifier for every phone just like a PRODUCT KEYS to every computer, if that detected that 2 IMEI was using, one will be blocked..that's what i think..
if we can mod IMEI then i think no one will be having problem if in case there's IMEI has been lost..right?

well, I know it is unique, and I do have his original IMEI.
and as far as I read it can be restored in case you already made a EFS backup.
so my phone has a working IMEI files... same phone, only diff numbers.. they have to be encrypted at some level, and we are talking about android here, probably not encrypted.. I Don't know.
guess it is a long shot... but maybe I can alter my numbers to his...
IMEI and product serial number, all the data is written under the battery slot.
I'm no developer just thinking out loud... lol, maybe someone can light up the way for me, if my idea makes any sense on any level.

wrong understanding..hehe i have 1 phone and becoz of my laziness flashing some ROMS my IMEI has been corrupted and never been use for a months, and after how many days, weeks or months searching and reading here at xda for an answer, i found out and tried that we can use fake IMEI which starts at 0049xxxx and flashed it, now i can use my phone now with fake IMEI and i am happy with that eventhough it is not the orignal one..now i am thinking what will be the risk if we use the fake IMEI and asking here at xda..i open new thread, hoping for someone will explain it to me.
