Okay, I had upgraded to 10.1 Aries and it was working fine and I tried changing some things with UOT kitchen and I got a "no service" problem. I have tried reinstalling from stock a couple of times but it doesn't make any difference. tried flashing a different modem and that didn't work either. The phone boots up and wi-fi works, but not the phone or data. Tried flashing an efs restore file and that didn't work either. Bill's paid for tmobile. I tried restoring from a nandroid backup and there is no change. IMEI is all zeros IMEI SV is 02 mobile network state is disconnected.
what to do?
Flash back to stock then reflash cm10.1
I use this one click to restore my IMEI/service issues

Then flash an ICS ROM

er... I flashed back to stock about three times and it didn't make any difference. I used Odin to flash KC1, then KJ6, then a kernel with CWM.
Have you upgraded from a GB ROM to an Team Acid ICS ROM? Their upgrade script automatically backs up you efs files.
Try extracting the tar file from the backup and taking the contents and stick it in the efs folder. That worked for me once :/ there is also a script Team Acid posted per my request somewhere in the Stupid Questions Thread.

Flash back to stock then flash aries release 3. Next time u get the no connection turn off wifi and just wait longer. Sometimes it just takes a bit after boot. Reflashing the modem (make sure you are flashing fb padded modem). That should do it. I started reflashing a modem after aries every time then realized i just had to wait an extra 20 seconds after booting up. Release 3 pretty good with this

I have the same issue. Had been running Aries beanstalk since it came out, switched to dao's pacman and after a couple days it seems the radio chip quit or something. Tried different modems, restoring nandroid, flashed back to stock, went and got a new Sim card. Nada. So... Yeah I had to pay 5 bucks for a new phone lol

After doing more testing.. Kb5 and kc1 dont flash... You need to flash kd1 and up and make sure they are padded.

And if u do install aries then flash kc1 by mistake it will say baseband unknown imei unknown.. But you dont have to do one click.. Just flash padded kd1 ki1 lb6 anything besides kb5 and kc1. I think it has to do with byte size of modem file.

I don't remember exactly where but there should be a folder on your SD card with all the efs backups created when you upgraded to mtd.
The filename should be efs-backup.tar and it could also have numbers in the backup name

I tried restoring from some other efs backup but I'll look around and see if there is any more backups. I have the sd card saved on my hard disk as well. There should be several backups. Somehow, though, I don't think its the imei or 10.1 is storing the IMEI in a different place or folder. This is too bad because the Aries version of 10.1 is really nice.
I pretty much have the same problem. After upgrading to 10.1 I can't get any reception even though I tried flashing stock and padded modems on 10.1.
i found several efs backups in the backup folder, but expanding them and replacing the efs folder on my phone makes no difference at all, IMEI is still 00000000 ..... unless 10.1 uses an efs folder in a different location that is. This is acting like there is a second backup location for the phone information that,if you don't delete it or overwrite it, restores the bad efs informaiton.
Nvm... deleted.

Does anyone know whether the imei information is located in a different location with MTD roms? I have been using the efs folder.
back on my old Galaxy Apollo for the time being -- they are still developing for this phone. Must be a lot of them out there.
I have the same problem. I was using Aries 10.1 just fine. Everything worked great. Then all of a sudden I get no signal. I tried restoring back to stock oneclick w/ factory reset several times. I have an EFS backup which I've restored several times both manually and automatically. No signal, no baseband version, no IMEI. It says unknown on settings for IMEI.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm currently running a SynergyROM r64 nand and my lte doesn't seem to work. I checked my IMEI in phone info -> stats and it's the same as before I flashed CM10 beta 9/3 build. Could flashing CM10 have corrupted my IMEI? Before I flashed, I entered su reboot nvbackup from andriod terminal to backup my IMEI so idk if that's the problem or not. I also have a Qualcomm backup, but I shouldn't need to restore it if I already have my IMEI saved correct? Or should I just Odin back to stock?

If his IMEI is intact, then there's no reason to restore an IMEI backup or anything. Toying with it could have negative consequences. Since it seems like phone info isn't working, flash to stock through ODIN. You can make a backup prior if you want. If that doesn't work, reprovision your phone via *2767*3855# . That will wipe your entire internal SD so back up anything you want.

Thank you sir! Reprovisioning did the trick. Would it be possible to use this with SynergyROM or CleanRom, or is this method strictly stock? I got my 4G lte back by dialing *2767*3885# from root66 stock touch wiz.

You shouldn't have to do it again unless you have problems. Just flashing a Rom will not do it unless something goes wrong. It should work on clean because that is a stock Rom, I have not tested it though nor have I read where anyone else has. Good luck!

It depends. Some of the ROMS cut out stuff that makes the number not work properly. I only know it works for sure on stock, and is unlikely to work on CM, but maybe other TW roms will allow it to work also.
Sometimes you have to put a # dialing command into your contact list and it will work from there.
Ok, EVERY ics or above rom wipes my imei and renders the phone useless. I'm not a noob by any means, I follow the directions to the letter, and the imei number is toast EVERY time! I even backed it up, restored it... but it still shows just a bunch of stars. What in the world am I doing wrong?
The trouble started when I flashed the a mtd jb rom. I restored from the backup, got data back, but phone had no sound during calls. I had to go back to stock via a one click to restore the imei number. I was running jb right up until the mtd change. Now, I can't run ANYTHING, CM7 or above. No matter how or what I flash, it wipes the imei
I've been working on this for a week now, can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. I'm lost and back to gingerbread until I figure something out. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Just wondering. Did you back it up with the EFS in the Infuse Toolkit? According to the OP, EFS Partition Backup (protect your phone's IMEI information, find unlock info) forum.xd
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1702026
No, I used what ever the app is posted on the jb pages. Quick and simple. Makes a folder called eds backup. Inside u find a .tar file with the whole folder zipped up. I didn't find a place in the toolkit for restoring just that info. I can't even do.cm7 now, anything above gingerbread wipes the imei number, every single time.
If there were a one click to ice or jb, might would help. Beats me. I'm.completely stumped now. Never had trouble flashing anything.

Which JB were you trying to use? You might as well one click back to GB, try the toolkit in CWM, back up the EFS, and then flash one of the ICS ROMS. After flashing ICS ROM and before you reboot, use the toolkit to restore EFS and test it to see if it works. Not sure why it is happening with ICS but you never know what will work sometimes. That's half the fun of testing and most of the frustration of testing.
I know ALL about frustrating! You know, with all I've done, restoring it BEFORE I reboot on the install hasn't even entered my mind! Ill give it a shot. As for which one.... all of them of course!
Ill look closer at the toolkit, maybe it will work. Ill let you know!

Just curious, but what version of cwm are you flashing from? It was suggested somewhere that it may depend upon if your flashing from cwm5/6 or 3/2, and I believe it may be true.

OK, I've backed up the efs folder via the toolkit, BUT, nowhere.in there is there an option to restore it. I looked and looked! Whole rom,, different scripts, nothing about restoring the info u just backed up.
Now I went from red cwm to cm9, blue, early version. Everything was working fine until I switched from Scott's 8/31 build to cypher.(is that right?) Cyphers worked fine, but I've never been able to flash any other rom since, unless its a gingerbread rom. They all fail. The failures started with paranoid 2.0 9/6 build. I had no trouble until then. I've run every rom out there at one time or another, never had a moments trouble. Now on the other hand, I'm stuck!
BTW, I've even tried roms prior to mtd, still wipes the imei number. That is cm7, cm9 early versions.

The windows file, efspro I've found is missing files, or doesn't work in.windows 7. I've not made it to trying Odin yet, but I'm gonna try tonight. The part that is confusingbme is, why can't I flash files BEFORE mtd? Something has changed...
I've been flashing things since the very day the captivate came out, I've not had trouble till now. Maybe someone can make a heimdall one.click to jb with the new filing system...? I'd pay $20 for for one!
This happens every time I flash a JB ROM.
Everything else seems to work fine.
But...
As soon as I disable wifi, my mobile data greys out and I have no internet connection. If I re-enable wifi, my mobile data comes back.
If I am out of wifi range, mobile data greys out and no internet connection.
When mobile data works....it works.
Looking at my APN settings shows no APN's at all. It will let me populate a new APN, but when I press "save" it just goes away and leaves nothing. I've tried rebooting after also.
My IMEI information shows up in the settings screen. Not jibberish.
Flashing back to stock restores my mobile data fine.
Mobile data works fine when I upgrade to ICS from GB before attempting JB.
The phone reacts to flashing exactly as the instructions indicate.
This has happened every time I try to go from ICS to JB.
I tried completely wiping (int sd and all)my phone before flashing (over and over again) and I'm following andros instructions fully.
While on JB, could using Odin to restore an efs backup I made while on GB help this? Is it possible to just upload the backup without returning to stock? I tried to restore the efs backup with Root Explorer but it didn't fix anything obviously. And I can't seem to even connect fully using EFS Pro (won't see com ports on the Qualcomm screen). Nitrality is an app that claims to backup/restore the efs folder but I haven't tried restoring one yet.
I'm not even sure the problem lies within the efs folder.
Ive gone through this a million times and it is the same no matter what I do or "try". It is the same for me with any JB ROM.
Searching the forum has gotten me this far, but now I'm stuck. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I refuse to accept failure.

2. take out sd card

4. cm9 flash twice..run it to see it imei and data is intact. then boot into cwm. factory reset
5. flash a 4.1.1 build..check imei and mobile data.
6. then flash 4.2.1 build
...disclosure: i'm guessing

I first re-downloaded all my ROM's and GAPPs on the computer.
I've been able to keep mobile data all the way to 4.1.2.(Paranoid) But after that it's as I described:
IMEI shows up and is correct.
No APN's listed and can't save a new APN.
"Mobile Data Status" shows disconnected.
If wifi is on and connected, mobile data "works" fine, but still shows no APN's and disconnected in settings as above.
Resetting to default APN says it completed, but nothing's there. I tried rebooting after and checking.
Wanna hear something really strange...
Since I knew I was going to have to go back to stock once again, I decided to step back to 4.1.2 just to see what would happen.
4.1.2 installed fine and my mobile data was once again working correctly.
Still working on it.

Thanks but nope.
This happens every time even when starting fresh from stock.
I am not altering the ROM itself before flashing in any way.
Immediately after flashing a 4.2.+ from 4.1.2 the APN's are not appearing. But my IMEI info is.
But if I go back to 4.1, the APN's are there so I'm thinking the APN's aren't being deleted during the flash?
In the process of flashing, I've made sure all the ROM's "worked" and the APN's were there before stepping to the next one.
I feel like I'm insane.
Re: [Q] Loose mobile data and APN's after any/every JB flash.
Can anyone tell me what controls the migration of the APN info when flashing from 4.1 to 4.2?
Also, what controls the addition of new APN's and where are they saved?
Is there any place I can look within the ROM or kernel to help see if the APN info is really missing.
Personally, I think the APN info is there, but something is not installing completely when flashing.

I had to flash a different modem. Not sure why, but it fixed my problem. What I did was:
1. Downloaded a few different modems from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=31097259
2. Reboot into recovery.
3. Select to Install zip from SD card.
4. Locate one of the modem. (In the folder).
5. Flash the modem.
6. Clear cache and dalvik cache.
7. I selected to fix permissions. Probably don't have to do this. But I did.
8. Reboot and test. If it doesn't work, flash another modem and try again.
If no modem works, then its probably not the modem. Hopefully you removed the SD card when flashing from ICS to JB. And hopefully your IMEI # is showing and correct.
It goes quick. I hope this works for you. If you need more detailed instructions, just let me know.

So here's the deal, I'm trying to restore my stock rooted 2.3.4 GB ROM. Eaglesblood is cool and all, but as of yesterday it started doing a bunch of sketchy stuff. I can't even connect to my t-mobile wireless network anymore. Just doesn't work. I also need wi-fi calling and video recording, so it's time for me to leave ICS (after a week or so lol). So I did a full wipe, formatted the system, cache and data. Went to backup/restore chose restore and chose the backup I made the very first day that I rooted my phone. It starts checking the MD5 sums....after about a minute I get an error saying "MD5 SUM MISMATCH." How do I fix this? I'm trapped in ICS and want back to GB please someone help free me. So after all of that I had no choice but to reflash eaglesblood and now I'm at where I started.
There's an option in cwm under advanced to toggle off md5 check, I think. That may work. But if the md5 is different than before it means something changed in your backup so it may not work.
If you're transferring stuff over usb a lot it gets messed up, I always have issues with that. I use airdroid to transfer files between pc and phone.
You gotta be kidding me......I transferred the back up to my PC to save room on my phone. I put it back into my phone yesterday because I knew I was probably going to use it today. So you're telling me there is no way for me to get back to my 2.3.4 stock rooted ROM because I transferred the file over a USB cable?

Thanks for those man. As an afterthought, idk if this means anything but I realized that my Emmc folder was mounted, which contains the backups in cwm. Cwm under the SD card did not contain a backup file. Could this be an issue? I discovered this using file manager

I tried flashing cm one day and after hours of not being able to connect to the network I realized my imei was deleted. I restored it flashed back to paranoid 4.3 but have been having connection issues. Next to no service in my house and places I had 4g I have 1 x or searching for service. I noticed my prl is 0, imeisv is 0 and also my eri set to 0. I flashed back to stock and everything was fine but as I excepted ota to upgrade firmware the mentioned above went back to zero. I believe I didn't do something correctly it's more than bad reception. Any ideas?

So, to clarify, on stock you have normal connectivity and the imei and meid is present in settings>about phone>status?

Sorry about that, the phone had normal connectivity when I went back to stock and in settings-about-status all values were present
Imei hex dex
Imeisv
Prl
I'm completely lost I have a feeling I didn't do something correctly when I restored imei. Either in qpst or In hidden menus on the phone. I just tried going back to out the box without any firmware updates and I have the same connectivity issues

Restore from a previous TWRP or CWM backup. I had the same problem before and restoring a backup was the only thing that worked. I even tried manually restoring the IMEI through QPST without any progress.
I'll give it a try thanks

For whatever reason I can't access my back ups. In twrp I go to restore and folder is empty. My back ups are on my sd card which I've used several times before. I tried going into install then go directly to that folder but nothing happens just goes into sub cater gory. I'm so lost this seems to not be a common issue so there's. Of a lot of info out there

I recently got through this issue too. After fixing my IMEI, ERI and MEID my phone would recognize a network but could not make calls. What I had to do was ODIN back to a stock unrooted ROM then complete a factory reset from INSIDE THE ROM, not from recovery. Reflashing a nandroid from recovery wouldn't work and simply flashing to a stock ROM wouldn't work, it was only after doing a factory reset using the ROM (Menu->Settings->Backup and Reset->Factory data reset) that I got connectivity back fully. This might work with a Touchwiz rooted rom but I don't know for sure. Obviously after that you'll need to re-root and re-flash whatever ROM you want or restor from a previous saved backup. ABSOLUTELY backup your IMEI information, if I knew what I was doing the first time and knew how simple it was and how little time it takes I would have done that first and avoided all this hassle!!

This seemed to of worked. This is the one issue I've had with this phone that seemed I wasn't going to be able to fix. It also doesn't seem to be a common issue so there isn't a lot of discussion about it. Thanks again I though I'd be stuck with my iphone5

I'm glad this worked for you. I was banging my head against the wall for a few days trying to figure this out. If you haven't already done it, back up your IMEI using the link in my last post. It literally takes only minutes and saves TONS of hassle.

I was at the point I was gonna chalk this phone up as a loss. It doesn't seem like a common issue so there isn't a whole lot of help out there for this issue. I'm so glad I decided to check back in this thread. I can now afford to buy better presents for Xmas lol. You saved the day.

I noticed the same thing. I've been using the same file for the last couple years without fail pm if you want it. Goo manager also has it.

OP you MUST backup your IMEI. If you don't you are going to have a serious headache getting it back.

Sorry I fell off the map on this, life's been busy lately!! All the links to the files I used are infact down. Were you able to get your hands on a stock rom? For all the repair work I used CleanROM, but I only flashed a stock ROM to do the factory reset. I'm actually wondering if doing a factory reset from the menu in CleanROM will do the same thing. Do your research so you don't brick your phone.
I went and looked on my computer and saw the file I used for a stock rom was a Root66 (pre-rooted) ROM.
For what it's worth, here's the links I used:
I started with this return to stock guide. Step three led me to this guide to flash a stock rom using ODIN. Step five of that guide had the links to the stock ROMs and stock pre-rooted ROMs. I was having trouble downloading a 4.1.2 ROM so I used a 4.1.1 instead.
If you still need a stock ROM let me know and I'll find a way to get the one I used to you.

Hey, no worries.. Life is much more important. Thanks for responding. I did get fixed.
I went back to a 4.1.2 ROM, couldn't fix everything. Eventually got back to 4.0.4. Got everything straightened out. And backed that _ _ _ _ up.
Was than able to upgrade to 4.4.2 aosp ROM, of course without needing the backup. But I have it.
Thanks again....as is usually the case, not reading enough up front did me in. Let that be a lesson kids.

Thanks
