Please, I desperately need some help. I flashed the dreaded MiUI ROM to my Samsung Galaxy S3 (Verizon), and upon reboot, noticed immediately that my IMEI was gone. This is my fault because I had no backup. So I proceeded to take the IMEI off the phone itself (under the battery compartment) and flashed it back on the phone via that one tool (if you need to know specifically what tool I'm talking about, I will look it up). Now, my IMEI shows restored, the phone CLAIMS to be activated and I have function 4G LTE data access, however, when I place a phone call, I get the message 'Mobile Network Not Available'. I cannot get it to place phone calls. In my About screen, the following information is present:
Model Number
SCH-I535
Android version
4.0.4
Baseband version
I535VRLHE

Build number

Hardware version

My phone number, MIN, PRL version, ERI version, MEID, IMEI, and ICCID all SEEM to have valid values, as far as I can tell. Obviously, it's not a good idea for some of that information to be posted on a public forum.
But please, help me, if you can.

The code doesn't do anything on my device. Developer mode is turned on. *2767*3855# is the code I'm finding.
I believe reprovisioning this phone is going to resolve my issues, however, I cannot get the reprovision code to work in the dialer. I have read that may be because of a recent OTA update, so I am flashing back to an older stock ROM and trying again. Please jump in and help if I am going about things the wrong way or with words of encouragement if I'm on the right track.
I was gonna say go back to a stock ROM and try it. If you make a nandroid before reverting you should be able to restore it after fixing your issue and have working miui.

Correct. It was removed because it was a pretty bad security hole. Odin back to an older stock, repovisioning should work.

Go into APN and select the first option (CBS) I believe, make sure it uim not nv and check that you are on LTE/CDMA/evdo. Once everything is selected properly reboot and try calling or texting.
PS. Also when rebooting, fully power off and remove and reinsert sim and power on.

Hey I'm having the same exact problem as you. Could you explain to me what you did exactly and which files you did? Which older ROM file did you use and what does it mean to reprovision a phone? This phone has been killing me for the whole week
Have you contacted the proper authorities or used a rape kit? ER?

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.

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.

Hey guys, so I was running MIUI for about 3 days when all of a sudden after class one day my phone literally wouldnt receive or send texts or calls and when I tried to call something it said no data available...I tried everything, I've wiped data/cache/dalvic, restored a backup, flashed a stock radio, a rooted radio, and even used odin to flash back to stock. My flash counter was never incremented, my bootloader is relocked, I even installed the latest Verizon update to ensure I wasn't rooted anymore. I don't know what to do, can somebody maybe help me? I'm lost and I don't wanna go back to my old phone, any help at all would be more than appreciated...
You have lost your IMEI, fried your SIM, or just need to reprovision your SIM. I would try the reprovision first, but it will wipe all of your data. You can do a search and it will give you the dialer code.
That sucks man. I cant help you with your radio problem but if you unrooted and updated through verizon successfully cant you just take it back. It should still be covered under warrenty. i hope you get it figured out, Good Luck.

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?

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.

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

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.

I would reflash the Hyperdrive ROM with no theme. I've had that happen a few times when applying a theme to my ROM. if you flash the Hyperdrive ROM and it still doesn't work I'd flash a different ROM.
After flashing, (of course after full wipe) test calls and messages and contacts apps. Then if you flash a mod or theme after that. Try your phone,text and contacts again. If they do not work, then your theme has borked them.
I have tried re flashing the ROM and still nothing i wiped everything that needed to be wiped before flashing and still nothing. I didn't think a theme would make this happen. But I guess another ROM wouldn't hurt to see if it works then. Will post back after and I might need some help though if it does not work

Go to System Settings > About Phone > Status. Under IMEI there should be a 15 digit number. If it's missing or just says 0 then you lost your IMEI, which is basically your phone's network ID number. Also is your phone number correct as listed in that menu?

Assuming you didn't make a back up, you're going to have to restore it. Here's the link to a tutorial: http://droidmodderx.com/galaxys3/?page_id=79
It is pretty involved so make sure you read the instructions carefully. Are you familiar with ODIN, because the first thing you have to do is flash back to a stock rooted ROM. Use this thread for that: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762204
If you don't feel comfortable doing all of it I would get somebody that does. You can easily hard brick your phone using ODIN. Also, ODIN will completely erase your internal memory. So I would make a backup of any photos/files you need before proceeding.

Some people have said using Odin to go back to stock and reprovisioning your phone with a numerical keypad entry works but I can't comment because I recovered mine without doing that. Try this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=45019832&postcount=3

I do recommend once you get your phone straightened out go to the Synergy rom thread and find the zip to backup your imei and eri and put it away for safe keeping just in case.
whats the difference between a Ship & NoShip firmware. i have a Samsung Galaxy S3 SCH-S968C TracFone, i semi-bricked the phone trying to unlock it so it doesnt boot, only download mode works. i'm on the hunt to find a full firmware to write to the phone but i'm seing 2 firmwares, one labeled ship and one labeled no ship. the question is what is the difference between the two?

Use Kies to recover it... it works
Viper
help, please!!!!
I'm not really a newbie, but haven't really had an android in my hands for a while and EVERYTHING IS SO DIFFERENT!!!! I have a gs3 (sch-s968c) which is the galaxy s3 available from straight talk. I wanted to reserve power and take out all the bloatware, so I attempted to root it, using Odin. I tried it 7 times so far and it has not been successful. Now when I enter recovery mode I keep getting a screen that says:
odin mode
product name:sch-s968c
custom Binary download: yes (7 counts)
current binary: Custom
system status: official
qualcomm secureboot: enable
followed by: "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies & try again"
Here's the issues: I did not ensure that I had the correct drivers and didn't have kies set up (new to kies). I can not find drivers for this exact model, and the computer is not recognizing my phone when it's plugged in (no opportunity to explore phone files)
Right now I have the sd card out (it came from a sorry explanation for a droid from straight talk (lg optimus, I think). I CAN STILL, HOWEVER, GET INTO DOWNLOAD MODE.
PLEASE HELP ME!!!!

I've lost service as well. I rooted using the Impactor method. Root was successful, I downloaded and successfully flashed the latest version of CWM Touch Recovery, then I flashed the newest version of BeanStalk ROM. The phone wouldn't get passed the "Select Language" section without bootlooping. So I pulled the battery, booted back into Recovery, wiped and re-installed my Nandroid backup. After I restored, my phone wouldn't receive service or data. Also, under About Device/Status, the network now says Unknown, Mobile network type says Unknown, Service state says Out of service, and my Phone number also says Unknown. How do I re-register my device back onto the Straight Talk network?? If I install CM 10.2 will that fix my issues? Or am I at the mercy of the Straight Talk Customer Service gurus? Is there anyway to manually program my device back onto the network?

This APP is asking for a SIM card to be inserted into a GSM phone. MY phone is the CDMA variant that doesn't use a SIM card. Is there any other way to get this phone registered onto the network? I guess I'm about to call Straight Talk to see what their tech support (if any) can figure out.
If it helps any, My Network says Unknown, Service State says Out of service, Mobile network state says Disconnected, My phone number says Unknown, the MIN says Unknown, PRL version is set to 1, IP address is Unavailable, and under device it says Modified.

at home, i have the packet for the BYOP plan, and in it is a QR code for both GSM and another for CDMA versions.. This is supposed to take you to download an app that will up your settings for you. Guess the linked one above is for GSM only. When i get home, I will scan that and give you the latest link.
Good luck with Straight talk "support"..

That would be greatly appreciated! The Straight Talk support line was of no help at all. Basically just told me to get a new phone. I find it hard to believe that it's impossible to get the settings back to where they need to be. I appreciate your help!

Sorry, bad news... that QR code points to the app i already sent you.. so i guess that's not going to help.
I found this though..
http://apn-settings.com/straight-talk-apn-settings-configuration/
Might be worth trying to set your settings to that to see what happens.
I know when i flashed CM10.2 and CM11 on mine, the data settings worked without me having to change anything.. so that maybe something worth trying.
No luck with anything. I believe my problem was flashing a native Verizon TW ROM, instead of just going the AOSP route. Maybe the kernel or the modem/radio conflicted with it somehow, kicking it completely off of the network. What is the PRL supposed to be? My PRL is set to "1". I'm thinking that could be the reason it can't see the network.
Is there any way to either manually program the phone onto the network, or either reflash the stock kernel or radio?

hmm maybe dial which is the number to program phones *228990 .but it could brick (not responsible if it does.)
For what it's worth, check this out. It's possible CM is now ready for your device, but do not quote me on this.

There isnt really a way to program the device manually...but might i make a suggestion? try resetting the phone. now that you have the nandroid restore done, try going ahead and doing a factory reset from the settings. Surprisingly it helped my issue.
I've ran into this problem myself. I tried restoring to a backup and installing different ROMs. The only thing that worked was to Odin back to stock ST and start fresh. I have the file if anyone needs it
