Not to be rude, but how hard did you search? Here's how to fix it.... This is a sticky in development

That's ok but I've tried that link. Samsung MEID Repair didnt work for metroPCS R530M just says connecting I have all correct drivers install.

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.

[SOFT-BRICKED][HELP] Lost IMEI and it all went downhill....

Boy have i had one heck of a day. So there i was driving along in my buddies car, minding my own business flashing dhacker's latest CM10 build. But then out of no where, BAM, there went my IMEI, and with it went my day. I had a backup of the efs.sbn so i thought "no biggie" and went to restore it. I couldnt find it and went to the next step and did is with the QPST software. I quickly restored my IMEI and i thought i was home free; boy was i wrong.... I noticed something was wrong: no data still.
So i had a fully intact IMEI and still no data. I headed over to IRC where i pleaded for help. I was given the number to reset your sim card, and without being told it would wipe my whole phone (silly invisiblek) i blindly killed everything on my sweet little handset and went back to square one. well maybe square 0....
My newly wiped phone turned on stock rooted. My data had been turned into Roaming, which was as good as not there . I ran back to IRC and asked about what happened. I was told to try the mms fix for CM10. this meant that i had to flash CM10. I flashed CM10 booted up and my IMEI was still intact (however my MEID soon reverted to 0's) and i still had raoming. i did all the steps and i was left in the same boat, but with mms for when i had data lol
And then i went back to IRC and chadamir said he would help me by walking me through it. He told me i needed to odin back to stock. AND HERES WHERE THE BEST PART HAPPENS: I open up odin, put my phone in download mode and flash invisbleks rooted stripped rom (which i used to root my phone weeks ago) and just like that BOOTLOOPS FOR DAYS. so... you know, as usual, no biggie, right? I flashed root66 BOOTLOOPS FOR DAYS. Maybe a little worried at this point, but i decide to sleep on it. I do, and this morning i flash a completely stock unrooted .tar and lo and behold....... BOOTLOOPS FOR DAYS.
UPDATE: I have no booted into my phone, no data still.
WHERE I'M AT RIGHT NOW:
take back to verizon and tell them it wont boot
flash more
get help from one of you fellows!
cry myself to sleep

can you get to recovery and wipe data factory reset?

OP updated: i have booted into recovery wiped data and am now in Stock unrooted, still no data. No roaming also

Happened to me, no known fix.
I went to Verizon and got a replacement. They'll ship it to you with 2 day rushed shipping.

i did -____-

I wish I could just blame this problem solely on Verizon, but apparently this has been happening across the board. I flashed a CM10 ROM last week but got sick of everything not functioning properly so I switched back to TW based...now I'm scared to go back :/ especially after reading this. I backed mine up, but it sounds like that may not be enough. To make matters worse, I don't have a PC to tinker around with, so no Odin for me.

Same happened to me. My imei went to 0 I was able to recover that using qpst. They my maid went to all 0s. I was able to fix that by pushing the original backup method onto my phone but I was stuck in roaming. So I activated my old iPhone in place of my s3 and tried to reactivate my s3 instead of my iPhone. It would just take me to a black screen so I took it into Verizon expecting to get a replacement phone, nope! The guy at Verizon took out my SIM card did some **** on the comp put the SIM card back in and it worked fine. Now I'm browsing 4g 3g and WiFi

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 had the same issue with 10.1
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.
Credit to nertskull
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

Stuggling - Lost IMEI can't get data back

Ok, I've flashed multiple roms without any problems but after flashing to slim bean yesterday I lost my IMEI. I've done this before but got it back. I'm not having any luck now though and there are too many directions/methods. Can anyone point me to the most up to date methods/downloads to get everything restored for a Verizon GS3?

There's only three ways to get your IMEI back. Each is progressively more work depending on whether you backed up your IMEI or not. Step one though, did you make an IMEI backup using this thread?

Aight, step two: sim reprovision. This dialer code also formats your internal storage so backup this data. It only works on VRALF2 and VRALG1 based ICS roms:

Pull the battery and do a factory reset in the stock recovery. Just to be clear, did you use Droidstyle's guide in the development section for the VRALF2 stock images?

I believe so. I started from section 5. I just tried VRBLK3 with I535VRLHE modem. I'm going to VRALF2 rom now to try the factory reset.
Update: I did the factory reset after getting stuck in the boot loop again. It did boot up after that but I was still not getting service. I then tried the *2767*3855# for the SIM reprovision and all seems to be working!!! Thank you for the help!

That's fine or try Odin flashing the VRALG1 image that he has in section 5 then input the dialer code.

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?

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.

Yeah i have a friend that helped me use Odin but hes not on Skype and he won't be anytime soon i believe, i don't trust myself doing it alone.

The first thing I would try would be to flash the mbf1 radio.
I have had similar issues and that's the easy fix.
Goodluck

I haven't heard of this fixing the missing IMEI issue but if it does that's excellent! It would be so much easier. Give it a try, it couldn't hurt.

He is right, getting your imei back is only halfway home. Your ERI should say 5 and under mobile network is should say Verzion Wireless. 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.

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.
