[Q] IMEI Trouble, Need help to recover - Samsung Infuse 4G

Need help with my issue. Here's my rundown: I tried to use my Infuse on Straight Talk. Before when it was on At&t, I flashed roms dozens of times with no issues. I was on CyberRom 4.2.2 forever, but the battery seemed to be running down fast. So at the same time I tried to get on the Straight Talk Sim Card program, I flashed my phone to Beanstalk 4.3 and then CM 11, 4.4. When I flashed over to CM 11, the phone called out but all I got was silence and the phone was stuck. Took the battery out and turned it back on and my IMEI has been gone ever since. I tried every single tool and trick here on XDA, everything I could find on youtube, and even other Android sites. Nothing worked. I either had a null/null IMEI or nothing at all when I dialed *#06#. The phone has been doing this since right before Thanksgiving and I have just been using it as a media player. The other day I switched the microSD card to get something off of another one and just like that I have signal bars. The baseband had a value and the IMEI was all zeroes. I got a little excited because there were at least signal bars showing instead of that damn dreaded circle with a line through it. So I decided to try the GTG Unbrick package and TruckerGlenn's efs.tar file. I found a froyo package and flashed that with the efs.tar file. All of a sudden I had an IMEI back with a baseband and everything!!!! I was really excited. But I noticed that A) when I compared the IMEI in my phone to what's under the battery, they are two different IMEI numbers...........and B) if i turn the phone off and turn it back on, the IMEI is gone again. It's like it's very unstable. I called Straight Talk to have them send me a replacement SIM card (now I'm using my Straight Talk on an old HTC EVO 4G, uuughhh!!) and now it seems like I won't even be able to use my Infuse. I love this phone and have enjoyed the flashing lifestyle on it, by far one of the easiest phones I've ever flashed. I need your help please. And yes I have spent almost two months looking and reading every page of every thread about lost IMEI's. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, may even buy you a bee.......a cup of coffee.....lol. Thanks

[Q] Unknown Baseband???

been searching for 10+ hours and no luck or solution.
i was on gummycharged ep1f/ep1h rom and everything was working fine until today.
i don't know what triggered it, but my phone just restarted and then lost all signal.
after searching and looking at phone info, i found first line under baseband version shows "unknown".
tried flashing to every possible roms out there using odin and it would not bring the phone back to life.
funny thing is i have no problem w/ 4glte service, which allows me to surf and download but no voice service.....
do i have no choice but to go to verizon for replacement phone?
thank you.

yeah I'd take it into them, sounds like some hardware got fried.. however I'd probably try to flash a froyo rom for whatever good it'd do, if they somehow can check baseband and it shows GB your warranty is void and they will not fix or replace it
blazing through on my VZ Droid Charge 4G
found this over in the Galaxy s 9000 forum (wc8 posted it)
Mine now works fine
so what was the cause - still no idea
so what did help - rebooting the phone couple of times without the sim inside
heads up !
worth a try and not my fault if something blows up...
Begin minor rant:
Isnt it sad that we (everyone including devs and XDA as well as casual helpers like me) have to put that final line in there so they dont get blamed/flamed if things get f'd up?

Had the same problem with my Fascinate. After a flash I lost all 3G and phone capabilities. What I did was reset my phone line with the esn of an old phone I had lying around. Go to this thread. It will show you what you need to do.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1051543. I took mine to Verizon, and also spent hours with tech support and, to no avail. This esn swap did the trick. Good luck.
did the stuff you were flashing include the radios? like this one?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1172182
or this thread?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1111486
yes, all the roms i flashed had full radio from ED1, ED2, EE4, EP1F
none worked....
i'll try to search and see if esn method works that someone mentioned above.
keeping my fingers crossed....
currently, phone is @ stock ee4 unrooted w/ no baseband for cdma radio.
if anyone else is having same problem, do not run esn swap!!!
it will cancel your unlimited data and there is no way to bring it back.
thank god i read it before i tried it....
phone still no go with unknown baseband.....
HELP?!?!? PLEASE?

i called Verizon and had them do it over the phone. In other words, they moved my line to a dummy ESN on their end and some random number to my phone and then switched it right back, all while my phone was off, so when my phone was turned back on it got re provisioned on their network, which fixed my 3G data issues......but i dont think this is the OP's solution. When i had that problem I had phone service, just intermittent or no 3g data is all

You won't lose your unlimited data unless you switch to an ESN that is not a smartphone. I have switched my line a couple times and still have unlimited.

I am not sure abotu this (not saying it is wrong but I never tried) I say take the 20 minutes on the phone with VZW and let them do it...
UPDATE
took it to verizon store twice, got sim cards replaced twice at two different locations.
still no go, rep recommended me to contact replacement center.
talk to tech for and hour trying to figure it out,
the tech announced that my cdma radio is fried.....
so i asked when i'll get the replacement and he said sometime on tuesday.
and i asked if i could use my really old LG non-smart phone for time being and he said i'll loose my unlimited data and moved to 2gb tiered data plan...
so i guess i'll be out of service until tuesday....

Hey I believe ya, I am just in the better safe than sorry frame of mind when it comes to the unlimited data structure. It does make sense though since i did switch from the fascinate to the charge without losing it
they told me this will only work if you went from smart phone to another smart phone.
however, if you went to non smart phone and then smart phone, you'd lose your unlimited plan.
I'm surprised this couldn't be fixed with a software flash. I came from a Samsung Epic and this was a regular occurrence on at least one of the Gingerbread leaks. Happened to me at least once - used ODIN and reflashed the whole shebang (full TAR with modem) and got it back up and running.
i wish there was an easy fix like you said.
then i don't have to wait for them to send me replacement device and also saves me from hassle of reapplying invisible shield. the maximum protection kit is pain in the ass to apply.
i've flashed with every single rom+radio out there in many different order with both odin 1.3/1.7/1.8 and samsung pstlite.
i've also tried flashing radio only and still no luck.

[Q] No network or sim card detected after flashing GB rom

After flashing a GB rom I am no longer able to access the T-mobile network. My sim card is no longer detected and I have absolutely no network connectivity. I have tried to flash back to froyo and back to other GB roms without any success. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Check under phone info and see what your baseband version is.
There is a dumb little problem that I've seen pop up a few times where the IMEI goes missing and the baseband number with it... then this happens...
If the sim card isnt being read at all, as in (please insert sim), shouldnt matter with imei as imei has nothing to do with service. Even with a null/ 000000000 imei, calling, texting, data all works. Its probably your sim card tray.
If your sim card is read, but just no bars, etc, then try reflashing and factory resetting.

I had the same problem a month ago, and found a good handful of threads on it. Most of those threads also reported missing base band and imei. I resolved it by flashing back to 100% stock and starting over. Not saying it'll fix you for sure but it worked for me.

Had a similar issue a few months ago, flashed a different ROM and it went away. Not sure is it was a coincidence but recently upgraded to stock KJ6, everything was fine for a few days then all of a sudden no T-Mobile network/ Manually logged on, crappy signal, white 4G icon, calls dropping, I can hear caller, they can't hear me etc... Figured the network might be swamped due to Thanksgiving holiday, waited a day but it got even worse. My wife's SGS4G meanwhile continues to have great signal- not a sim issue as I swapped hers in to my phone and it still sucked. Called T-mobile tech support, new phone arrives this Friday. They blamed it on the upgrade to VUVKJ6, I wan't going to argue with them as I didn't have the phone insurance (I do on the new one) and they said that because it happened after the KJ6 upgrade it was on them .... it only cost me $20 for a brand new replacement.
I do have to say that T-Mobile customer service kicks ass.
Try flashing a different rom to see if itll fix the problem. The last resort would be resoldering. Try all other options first.

Thanks for the replies. I tried flashing to 100 percent stock and nothing changes. It doesn't matter what I flash to or how many times I restore factory setting and wipe all user data. I always end up with a phone that doesn't detect the T-mobile sim card or the network. I requested an exchange for 20 dollars since my phone is still under warranty... I hope I will be able to flash to a different ROM next time without the same problem.

I seem to be in the same predicament after flashing KJ6.
Spent the whole day flashing different ROMs, to no avail.
Guess my only option is contacting t-mo, and see if i can get a replacement.
Will they know if i updated through Kies, or Odin?
i'm in the same boat. bought my phone unlocked through amazon two months ago and upgraded to stock KJ6 through Kies when tmo released it. worked fine until two days ago. SIM works in other phones, IMEI number looks good, APN settings look good. Haven't tried switching to other builds because all the threads I've seen here at xda and other forums seem to show that doesn't change anything.
didn't realize how much i liked my phone until i went to the backup motorola zine the last few days. bogus.
Before you send your phone back make sure it is 100 percent stock ROM and not rooted. Also, factory reset and wipe all user data.

Thanks.
I did know all that. Just wasn't sure of they could still tell I didn't do it through Kies.
Anyway, just contacted T-Mobile, and my new phone should be here Monday.
Awesome customer service.
My t-mobile exchange phone arrived and I upgraded to latest GB via Kies and then I flashed Dr. Honks latest kernel and everything works. No network or sim problems.
I am really happy with T-mobile customer service too. My phone arrived only 3 or 4 days after I requested an exchange. No questions asked.
From what I have been reading on the forums, it doesn't matter if the phone was upgraded via kies or flashed via odin. The phone just has to have 100 percent stock
Damn having the same problem,no sim card detected.No baseband,no IMEI.Went stock via Odin,nothing.Went to stock Froyo and still nothing :-(
sgs4g, same problem...only mine im sure is the sim tray. this was a refurbished phone i bought from craigslist, brand new.
stock froyo, gb, rooted ocataine, doesnt matter- every few weeks it would say insert sim..
Now im just gonna call and tell them it happened after the upgrade because it was there faulty phone to begin with.. now how can i go back to perfectly stock? and does that mean i should send it back on froyo or gb?
I've had/am having this problem. I brought my phone to the UK and I had this issue when I tried a new carrier. 3 weeks ago I was able to plug my phone in to the charger and then put it in airplane mode and out and I had no issues until I tried a 3rd carrier today and now the issue is back and my previous fix isn't working. Because I'm not using T-mobile and bought the phone off of a friend I'm hoping I can find a way to fix this without sending in my phone because that really isn't an option.

Glad you found the battery fix, I have stated that fix in a couple of threads, and started a thread called No carrier signal + IMEI problems = Take out your battery, but it has been pushed down like 3 pages cause no one comments on it.

The link you posted is no good, can you tell me where it was at? Also what are all of the steps to get SIM or IMEI working again just the remove SIM and Battery for 10 Minutes?
There are a lot of people who flash custom ROMS on Telus, Rogers, Wind and T-Mobile who have this problem and if what you are saying works then that needs to go viral. What is strange is that some have the issue same ROM and Phone and others don't it's a hard issue to try an troubleshoot to say the least.
Any more info on this subject would be awesome bro.

"No sim" issue on Skyrocket

I've been using NexusMod on my Skyrocket for a few weeks now, and all of a sudden while walking around in the mall today, my phone said "no sim" while it was low on battery.
I couldnt' do anything about it, but by the time I've gotten home, I've looked up everything about a "No sim" issue, and tried the following:
reflash to Buoyancy 1.3.1 (GB) via restore
flash to different radios, then back to UCLA, then to Rogers, then to Telus, back to Rogers, and every other combination
restore to stock via Odin
after restoring to stock, reflash the original K7 radio (when it didn't work)
more various flashing of roms and modems
Ultimately, nothing has worked. I've tried putting a piece of paper to force better contacts, and obviously switching sim cards which didn't help.
I've noticed some other people had this issue, but it looks like flashing the T-mobile modem worked, but didn't work for me. Any other tips or experiences?
Thanks in advance!
You try giving the carrier a call to reset the signal?
Sent from my I727
Called up Rogers, they asked me if the SIM worked in another phone (which it does because I'm using my SIM in my old HTC to call) and they said it's not an issue on their end. Not to mention they weren't too eager to help fixing a phone I didn't buy from them.
Anyways, it's been brought back to stock now, using the sammobile (also tried the XDA tar) and neither fix the issue so it's probably a hardware problem unless someone can suggest otherwise.
I've tried the Blaze, Tmobile, Telus, Rogers, and various AT&T (UCLAx, UCLDx) modems to no avail against a combination of ROMs.
Oddly though, occasionally on certain radios, I noticed it would show a reception bar, but also say no sim at the same time. It doesn't happen in stock GB, as it only says no sim and then a "x" on the reception bars.
I'm sure it's a one-off issue, but can't say I'm impressed with Sammy right now given I've had the phone for only 4 months and it's never been abused.
It does sound like a hardware issue but for future reference for when you call rogers:
Don't tell them you didn't buy the phone from them.
When you ask them for help, say x isn't working so can you do y. They will say have you tried this, this and that, say yes and get what you want.
This is the only way I have survived rogers since inception (long time customer helps too I guess).
Sent from my I727
This may sound crazy to you but from many years of experience with electronics and in IT I would say that since it sounds like a component failure or loose contact I would say try gently tapping it with the battery out and reboot. If under warranty tap a bit harder
Just my opinion please no comments if you disagree...
Turns out the sim card tray was loose. Samsung wouldn't fix it saying this is not a warranty item and wanted to charge $120 to fix it or $35 just to return it to me.
Luckily, after complaining, rogers graciously footed the bill since the phone is less than a year old, though the Hup period got extended 6 months (but not my contract)
Kudos to rogers but shame on Samsung for not taking care of its customers. Aside from day to day use, the phone was never abused nor was there any external physical damage. Not sure how they reached that conclusion. Sure it might have slipped out a pocket or what not over the few months I used it, but it should be able to withstand abuse from daily use. my old HTC Evo 3d withstood a hell of a lot more damage than that, I dropped it down a flight of concrete stairs that dented the entire side of the phone. it worked perfectly fine until I lost it. I am sure I will get a lot of heat from the Samsung fans here but I can't help but vent my frustrations.
To think I supported Samsung by buying a GS2 for my wife and I...

[Q] Strange issue with 4G, doesn't appear to be IMEI issue.

Hey guys.
I just got my i535 Galaxy S III a few days back, and decided to root it. Paranoia wasn't for me, so I tried CM10. Somewhere along the lines of that, my 4G stops workings. Luckily, I already backed up my IMEI.
I've been trying for a few hours to fix it. I already used the following methods of "fix":
Restoring backup from CWM
Going back to (rooted) stock,
Changing my Mobile Networks settings around,
Phone Info (Couldn't honestly find out what to edit in there, or if anything WAS editable),
restoing IMEI
From what I can see, I have my IMEI, MEID, and phone status reads: "Normal". Yet, when I look at my bars, I get 3 of 3G, instead of my usual (and what my other galaxy S III devices are running currently.)
Samsung's firmware mirror site is down at the moment, so I haven't tried that last resort before returning to Verizon, but do you guys have any thoughts?
Thanks
I have a similar issue - except my phone does not recognize the verizon network. I was rooted with CM9. i've since replaced the SIM and flashed to factory rom. I am seeing my IMEI number, so I don't think that's an issue (right?).
I took it to the verizon store and they want to trade it in, which i am fine with
My biggest concern is removing any trace of root.
I had the same issue when going into cm9, got a new sim yesterday and I got my 4G back.
I'm in the same boat. Just gonna get a new sim card and hope that fixes the issue

4g works... That's all. Help getting calls and texts please.

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?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=31051731
This is my next option. Will it help? Come on xda, I have faith you can save me! Thanks all!
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:

Definitely boot loops for days after flashing stock.vzw_root66.tar Any other ideas?
Alright. Flashed stock.vzw_root66.tar and it bootlooped. I pulled the battery after ten minutes and went into recovery and f/d reset. Network unknown. Signal strength and network type is the same. now service state says in service. Mobile network state still disconnected. PRL changed to 15173. phone number is correct. MIN is 3194421067. ERI is still 5. MEID now reads DEC: 256691456608999046 HEX: 0x99000206895086. IP address is now unavailable.
Can you read all that?
Okay I got the reprovision number to work. Going through that now.
I FIXED IT, Thanks to ya'll.
Now use the dialer code listed earlier

min number is a number i dont reconize 7722167376
eri version 5
imei number is correct from the back of my phone
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
