This is a warning to others and a call for help in the unlikely event that someone has a fix. I forgot what the Phone EFS Clear checkbox did in Odin. In trying to fix another issue, I selected the box. I now get a Sim card initialization failed error after boot.
So - don't check the EFS clear checkbox, backup your EFS folder (I think you can do this with root explorer). Does anyone know how to restore the EFS data if you cleared it with Odin?
Thanks.
I believe you fried your sim card

Thanks for the suggestion, but they tried two new sim cards and it didn't fix the problem.
I'll see if I can get my efs for you

Did this work? I have the same issue, and I have been unable to find another solution, or even a EFS file on my own.
Any other solutions are welcome as well. Thanks for reading.
Wouldn't you restore that info if you replace your sim and odin back to stock ee4 or is it something more hardware oriented?

I'm contacting Verizon today, the replacement SIM they have sent me is showing as not recognized or registered. I did Odin back to stock before I put the new card in. I'll do it again when i get home from work, just in case.
Phone is acting like it doesnt know what network to connect to.
Under Phone status it says Searching for service.
Mobile Network Type: UNKNOWN
Update: After talking with Verizon Techs the sim card seems fine, however, my phone is unable to contact their tower to update information on the Sim.
AFAIK, you can't recover from EFS clear. Could be wrong, but I've never seen anyone get back to a fully working device after selecting it.

Long story short, I bought a bricked charge, got it unbricked and noticed it has the IMEI but no MEID(all zeros) in the settings menu. The phone is clear on VZW but I am stuck. I am guessing when it was bricked (or unbricked by who I used to fix it) my MEID was wiped cuz the unbricker gave me the phone with a custom ROM.
I was wondering if someones charge with a good efs restore could be edited with a hex editor or something to match for example my valid IMEI less the extra digit to fix this?

Just to confirm, if you read my previous/above post I tried to activate my charge via my vzw accout online. I entered my MEID number and vzw prompted me to swap my sim(had an active thunderbolt) which I did. I saw that I had no signal with the vzw network so I popped my sim back in the T-bolt. To date when I log into my vzw account it shows I am using a charge.
My charge works on wifi fine

I took a look at my efs and it is basically a FAT16(RFS) filesystem with a few files and directories. There are 2 files, one of which has the Bluetooth MAC and the other that has what appears to be a MAC for something. On mine there is also a directory structure that contains the DRM stuff for DIVX. If there is anything in there that relates to the MEID, it would probably be the /efs/imei/.nvmac.info file that has what appears to be a MAC.
That being said, it looks like there is no linear correlation between the value in the .nvmac.info file and the MEID or IMEI (or even the serial number portion for that matter) There is a possibility that there is some sort of hash function being run on it to derive the MEID.

Hi, thanks for the reply. What you find looks close to my charge. Here is my last message to the unbricker. He asked me a question about the efs folder/files content in my charge for a possible restore. I replied with my findings and never heard from him again, this was 2 weeks ago.
Question: What files are in it? Do you see a .bin file or a .Bak file?
Answer: The efs folder has a couple sub folders \imei and \.files and one file named .nv_state
The sub folder \ .files has 3 more sub folders that are empty
The sub folder \ imei has the files .nvmac.info & bt.txt
I don't see any bin files.

Yeah not sure, but I can tell you that that's how I fixed it. 4g/Sim card might be different but I know GoS did the same thing. You can prob find his panick thread in the fascinate Q and A section. GizmoDroid explained what it does and how to fix. Again, 4g/Sim card might be different story. Good luck...

Uh... I'm going to copy and paste this here since it's really the only answer you are going to get, and to help anyone who might come along later:
If your MEID number is still valid in Settings -> About Phone -> Status -> MEID, then you are probably ok.
You may be able to *228, option 1. If that doesn't do it, try *22899.
If that doesn't work, activate an old phone on your account, then after a few minutes, reactivate your Samsung Fascinate. This will hopefully restore any of the EFS data that wasn't getting pushed by the *228 activation.
If your MEID in the Settings menu doesn't match the one printed on your phone under the battery, then the EFS data was corrupted and unable to rebuild after you cleared it. The only realistic option at that point is having it sent to Samsung.

I have read a few threads about this issue, but none of them seem to be the same exact problem..
Right now I am running ParanoidAndroid 2.15 with InstigatorX 6.3.6 kernel.
When I first noticed the problem I was on PA 2.13/IX 6.3.6 I believe and I was using the UCLF6 modem.
My network connection was fine until one day I noticed that I had 0 connectivity and when I tried to make a phone call it said I wasn't registered on the network.
Sooo the issue..
My network connection constantly shows that I am not connected to the ATT network, sometimes the network is out for a good 5 minutes or so before it connects to it again. When it does connect to the network it usually shows up as connected to the Edge network..once in a while it will show 3g; I used to have full bars of 4g/hspa.
After a few minutes go by, the network connection cuts off and I am again once disconnected from the network.
From the time I had no problem with my connection to when it started disconnecting from the network I have no idea what happened.
Yes, I do flash ROMs a lot, but this seemed to happen over night. (I had not messed with my ROM for a good while and then BAM my network blows 'all of a sudden')
Things I have tried..
I have tried different roms, different modems, I have tried the whole airplane mode deal, tried pulling the batter, I have reverted back to stock using Odin and the stock ROM file. My IMEI number shows up correctly, my settings are default as far as allowing data connections ect.
I am not sure if there is anything I can do besides call up the warranty department and try and get a new phone, but I wanted to ask here before I did that.. I've already returned my phone like 2 or 3 times since February lol.
Try getting a new SIM card from AT&T. There is a $10 fee for it, but I had a similar problem and this fixed it for me. My phone would lose service and say "No SIM card inserted" then I would hit restart and everything would work except phone calls. I had to remove the SIM for a few minutes and put it back in in order to make or receive calls.

Not sure if this will help or not, but in the past I have had AT&T "re-initialize" my phone on their end and it has fixed some connectivity issues.

Backup and odin back to stock I727UCLF6 and see if the problem goes away. If yes then its possible you need to look for the AT&T LTE APN settings.

I've tried using Odin to stock ICS and also GB, but the problem still occurs =\
Did you unlock it?
Hey,
Did you unlock the phone? I have a similar issue, having had tried many different modems kernels and ROMs including the stock ones. It turns out that if the phone is unlocked then it will lose connectivity to lte and 3g. I get edge sometimes and one bar max but I cannot make a call out ever.
Unlocked it as I was travelling in the states and now Roger's says I voided my warranty by unlocking it. Tried a different sim card but I am only able to text right now, no calls. The only silver lining is the big three are starting to lower their prices a bit to compete with new competitors.Then again they make budget brands like koodo and public mobile to directly compete with the new entrants so unless the crtc steps in looks like we'll always get gouged.

I'm not 100%, but I don't have any warnings about my SIM card or anything
Same boat
I'm having the same issue with my Galaxy Note 717r on Canadian carriers Rogers and Telus
I keep getting the Error 'Not registered on Network'
On Rogers, if I select GSM only, it will register on the Network and connect with EDGE speeds
It has been Carrier unlocked at some point but it was working that way for a while. You can check by using this service code: *#7465625#
Tried multiple SIM cards that work with other phones.
Verified that the IMEI number matches what is on the sticker *#06# Rogers told me if I can make calls on the GSM network than the IMEI isn't blocked. Don't know if that's true but it makes sense.
Went back to stock everything (Modem, CSC, ROM) then I upgraded to ICS OTA.
Enable SIM lock, Disabled SIM lock.
How do you know that carrier unlocking blocks you on the 3G/LTE networks? Can the carrier be relocked?
I've got another 717r coming to me. I think I'll try backing up the EFS folder and restoring it on this phone just to verify it's not corrupt or a blocked IMEI.

I'm not sure about that one.
But what ROM do you use? It seems like this only happens with people who have JB ROMs..it looks like..
I just called ATT , they did some kind of wireless number reset, nothing happened.
They are going to send me a new SIM card which I can test and see if that fixes the problem, but I'm not going to hold my breath though.

I was running CleanRom 4.5 and installed the 4.5 keyboard and clock and all of a sudden I lost my network connection. what is weird is the 4G works fine. I just can't receive or make calls/text messages. Does anyone have any idea what may be the problem? I've returned my phone to stock, cause I'm thinking I'm going to have to take it back to Verizon.

Yeah, i dont know what caused it to happen. I didn't even really notice it wasn't working, cause I never lost data. i've always had 4G signal. i just can't make phone calls or send texts. at one point it did say mobile network not available, but now it just doesn't make calls at all. the screen looks like its making the call, but you do not hear any dial tone or anything. For sure it was working yesterday because i was on a four hour call last night. Just stopped out of nowhere today.
I had the same issue the other day. Did you backup your IMEI/MEID info? Check and see if they are still there in about phone, also check your ERI and if your network is listed.

I just got back from the Verizon store after spending 2 hours there. It did seem like it was an IMEI issue. They mentioned my phone having a different number than what was on the phone itself and they could find no way to correct it. The verizon tech support that they called were insisting that it was a network issue and not a phone issue, so they opened a trouble ticket to try and resolve that. they said 24-72 hours to get it resolved. luckily, the store clerks and managers thought support was full of it, so they decided to overnight me a replacement phone anyways just in case, even though they were told not to. so hopefully the new phone fixes the issue. I'm just glad that they helped me out because I didn't buy warranty or anything on the phone so they probably could have flat out denied me. Fingers crossed that all is good in a couple of days
I did back up my IMEI the first time I rooted the phone, but since they're helping me out, I'm just going to wait for the new phone and hope that that fixes it.
I had the exact same issue I just call this number
*2767*3855#
If that doesn't work flash back to stock lock the phone do the number again

Take out your battery and look for the IMEI number that is listed underneath it. Write it down. Then boot your phone back up and go to settings, about phone, status, and make sure that the number your wrote down matches the IMEI number on the phone. If it doesn't, then you'll need to restore your IMEI and probably repair your ERI.
Read this thread. It explains how to repair them both:

I had this exact same problem yesterday. I noticed it occurred when I left a 4G area. I couldn't connect to the network anymore and it prompted me to switch to global mode. My IMEI number on the back of my phone matched the number in the status too.
The way I fixed it was by doing an nvrestore in terminal emulator. You need to have a backup in place in order to do this. I believe you can find more about it in the IMEI thread in android development. It should be the first step and they'll probably be able to help you more there. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1852255

Thanks - will try this out and let you know if any success.
My phone was on clean rom 5.0, Loved it. Everything worked great for 2 months. 3 days ago I flashed CM10. Worked alright. Then flashed MIUI (pre-most recent update). Also worked fine except for some screen flickering. Decided to go back to stock. Did a nandroid restore and when it was finished I had no data or bars period. Restarted the phone to no avail. Called Verizon. They assumed my simm card was fried. Then I went and got a new simm card. They tried to activate it to no avail. After changing my PRL from 00000 to 15154 they were able to get 4g on my phone. It's a little slow but it works. Still no calls and text.
My phone number is 0000004548. Any ideas on fixing this?

Still no luck
I completed the guide in the first post. No dice. I got everything sorted out, My phone number is now correct and all but... I cannot get signal still and I cannot boot into recovery. Weird. Any advice would be great! I'm sure others are in my spot.
Is your imei intact? I also had this problem prior to flashing miui. What I did was go back to completely stock, there is a guide somewhere here, make sure you backup all your data. Once you've boot up to stock, you have to dial the re provision code which is *2767*3855# , it will wipe all your data I believe, then reboot it should work then. After that just reroot unlock flash roms. I hope it works for you. If you've lost your imei you have to do something else which a guide is written on here, but I'm pretty sure you haven't lost your imei.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
Yes, first thing to do is to check if your IMEI is intact. Also check your ERI (it should be set to 5).
Just a heads up, the re-provision code @Watoy mentioned only works on early build stock ICS. You can use the code in Root66, so my advice is to Odin back to Root66, which is available for download from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762204
If your IMEI and/or ERI is not intact, the following tool and guide will bring you back to life. You will also need to be on stock ICS for this, and I again recommend Root66 because many users need to perform the re-provision code after performing all of the steps in this guide to complete the process:

I am thinking I need to flash back to stock in order to make that phone call to activate my phone but i want to do this as a last resort. Any help will be greatly appreciated. I hope I may have missed something in the hidden settings when i used *#22745927 and **22745927. Can someone tell me what my settings should be and thank you again.

A quick look at the thread you linked to, it looks like you need to be back on an ICS ROM (at least for TW) to use the factory reset/reprovision(?) code, after repairing the IMEI.
The key to make it all work together seems to be this order: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33609227&postcount=160

Really? That's not too bad of a price. I thought the screens were going for close to that on ebay, and that's without installation obviously.

I've never had to do it, but in other three I hear people say it's $168 shipped both ways

You didn't miss anything, you just need to do that re-provision code. Flash back to this, do the re-provision, and you will be back to normal. No other way about it unfortunately.

Dead serious. I just dropped it 2 feet onto carpet and there is a small crack above the menu key. Phone is a goner. Black screen and all. I still claim this endeavor as worth it, hopefully it helps others out. Off to buy a $40 droid x on craigslist. ugh
Again, Thanks!

This just saved me! Thanks a ton, sorry about your phone though. Just fixing the IMEI and ERI didn't work for me, I had to reset with the code
Same Issues
I suffered from no sms and no calls, reflashed root_66 tar from odin, then reprovisioned with *2767*3855# and i got sms and calls back but was stuck on roaming with it always trying to get me to install dual clocks, i figured it was a sim card issue as my imei was proper and everything was as stock, i took it to local Verizon, they installed new SIM for free, but it did not fix the issue. With a few kind words and pointing out the extras i spent on accesories, i ended up getting into the Note II. Keep In Mind i was still in my 30 day worry free, but for the SIM card it didnt matter, he did not look up that info till he told me he was going to replace my device if the SIM didnt take. I STRONGLY advise to approach them with kindness, i also informed them it happened when i kept toggling connection when transfering media thru the usb cable, i figured the heat and constant connect/disconnect fried the sim, they never asked if i tried to download any off market apps or anything along the MOD lines. Hope this helps anybody that may need it.. i did follow step 5 of the guide everyone references about rooting jellybean(root,custom recovery,stock), sorry new to forums and havnt figured out the linking yet, but once on the stock file with this name,( COMBINATION_I535VRBLK3_I535VZWBLK3_381038_REV09_user_low_ship.tar)everything read stock except my binary count, but i heard this is only an issue if sending to samsung as verizon reps are unaware of binary counts and odin and stuff related
Just checked in about phone, status tab and my phone number is saying unknown.
I am able to phone etc, I'm just wondering why my phone number isn't showing up.
that number is read from the SIM card. You can write it using another phone that knows that.

In all my phone's its been showing unknown only!
Its not an issue. May be there's an issue with your sim or network!

It's not a network thing. It's what @geemaan said. It's whether your SIM card has it's phone number written to the phone number field (within the SIM) electronically. It is used for the sole purpose of showing up in your handset as "your" number.
Android has never had the ability to write the number to SIM for you. It's been in Several CM builds for years and there have in teh past, been apps on the play store that can do this for you too. Otherwise, put the SIM in another phone and wrote it. Or, don't care..
I saved mine in an iphone 3gs. Hangouts was having issues recognising my own number until my SIM card had it.

Once the xposed framework is compatible with KitKat then you can use this to set the number of your sim.
