So tell me how screwed I am.
I had CM10.2 on my phone, then my IMEI changed to "0", and I couldn't receive calls. So I flashed my phone to 4.3.
Next right before I fixed the IMEI issue the ERI changed to "none", and put me in roaming mode.
Well I fixed the IMEI issue, but I am now stuck trying to fix the ERI, it still says roaming and does not pull an IP Address.
Is the ERI possible to be fixed now that I am stuck in 4.3?
I tried RevSkills it says, "subsys efs is locked", then I tried Samsung MEID Repair (but it locks up, I believe because I am using 4.3)
Any help appreciated! I will be heading to the Verizon store here in a few, but I'm sure they are going to say buy a new phone or something.
Well Verizon store was not helpful, they tried a bit and gave up. But reading more, I am starting to think I can revert back to older firmware because I did not OTA.
Does this sound right?
Because several times, with 4.3, I tried using ODIN to go to ICS, Well ODIN failed each time with a SW REV CHECK FAIL : Fused 1 > Binary 0...
[Quoting toeshot from another thread.]
The problem is that once you install the 4.3 update you cannot use Odin to flash a downgrade ROM even an official Samsung ROM. You will need to install a custom recovery then flash a rooted rom,

I'm going to keep trying things, because basically this phone is useless right now anyways..if I hardbrick it oh well, it was good while it lasted.
Still working on this...
So where I currently am, installed safestrap and flashed over TW Wicked Sensations. Still couldn't access the "subsys efs" because its using the ML1 modem...
Well I flashed over the modem G1, didn't work, tried G7 also doesn't work because they just take it to the "System software not authorized" screen where I am forced to reboot.
I really don't know now. unless there is a TW somewhere out there that lets me switch modems without it bringing up the "System software not authorized" I am stuck forever roaming.
Thanks Odin for letting me flash 4.3 onto my phone without warning me I could never go back. :good:

Even flashing the stock 4.3 odin file locks it... There is an odin file with the MF1 BOOT CHAIN so it won't lock it, but its too late. Plug it into the PC and run the install helper to reload the totally stock 4.3, then call verizon and tell them that since the OTA came, your phone is always in roam mode. They should replace it.

I am in a very similiar boat. I was running 10.1.3 and did the upgrade to 10.2 and my IMEI reset to all zeros. So my question is how did you fix your IMEI issue? I flashed a working backup I took before I upgraded and that did not help. Tried other roms, etc and nothing

Yea the problem is the IMEI and ERI both exist in the EFS, so that is what you would have had to backup..It can still be fixed though. Couple of links for you here:
Youtube1
Youtube2
Software Required/Procedure
So this is the part I screwed up with after finding those links, I immediately flashed to 4.3 to fix the issue, don't do that. Flash it to like ICS ( anything lower than 4.3 ) and then do the procedure part.
Also you can find your IMEI on the sticker under the battery.

After exhausting all possibilities this seems like what I will have to do, its kind of disappointing because my phone is in excellent condition, I may just sell it on ebay for parts or something.
But can you riddle me this batman, even though its says I am roaming, I'm not right? So can I just use my phone like normal?

I have watched these videos but the part that keeps hanging me up are the commands that they have you dial. I put them in and nothing happens. If I hit dial it goes nowhere.

Same thing was happening to me...when I was in CM10.2. I would try the first command to enable Diagnostic Mode / Qualcomm USB Settings. and it would do nothing. I am fairly sure you have to be on a stock ROM for this to work. Also when you dial the commands, after you hit the last number it will perform the operation, you never have to actually press dial.
I saw people posting a bunch of different numbers to try that would bring up the Qualcomm Settings. But I can't really tell you which one you need because I'm on 4.3 and its a different number. But on 4.3 its called ( Enable DM Mode ). Good Luck! :good:

I was able to flash a stock room, use *#0808# gain access to the menu, etc and got my IMEI restored. I have data but am still unable to make/receive calls. Two things I noticed that might be the issue. The IMEI SV is 00 and when I go to Access Point Names that list is blank. I did reset to default but that did not repopulate them.

My IMEI SV is also "00".. but I can still make/receive calls. It sounds like you may have set your IMEI wrong. But I'm not sure, couldn't really help you past this, because I am no expert, like some of the people on here.

Hello,
I am using my OnePlus One (64GiB) several days already but today i expierenced a total no data connection. It connects to WiFi and uses the Internet with no problems but if it comes to the mobile data connection it can't connect to the Internet while I have full network shown on the upper right corner. I can call and send SMS with no Problems. This Problem appeared just today and i called my service provider and they say that there is no problem with there network availability and I should check my APN settings which I checked and they are correct. Then the customer consultant said it could be my phone.
I inserted a SIM card from another service provider but it also does not connect to the mobile Internet connection.
So it seems to be that there is some faulty settings on my phone or even an defect. How can I fix that?
Thanks in Advance.

That's strange! It seems like a very random glitch then, which often seem to fix themselves as randomly as they occur.
Have you tried rebooting your device, turning off/on data? Also, in Settings>Mobile Network Settings, is your preferred network type set to LTE, or the highest that's there?

If yes and yes, then I'm not sure what could be the problem, considering how it WAS functioning previously. I would just suggest to keep rebooting and fiddling with the Network settings, such as turning off/on data, verifying APN settings, checking Network Operator, making sure SIM is properly inserted, etc.
I wish I knew exactly what was wrong, but I'm not sure.

Hi,
I have the same problem. I only had the phone for three weeks now and two days ago internet stopped working in the middle of browsing/watching you tube video. Did not start since even though I've tried several methods (except factory reset, as I want to leave that one as last resort.
Is there any other way than factory reset to fix it ?
Do you all have franco kernel installed?

I lost the internet connect when I installed CM12 Nightly -> thought it was a bug in the ROM and sorta lived with it.
But when I reverted to 11-S I realized that the internet connection didn't work on that rom either. I've tried everything factory reset - Soft/Hard - reset -> flash other rom's on it. EVERYTHING!!! -> I also tried a couple of different SIM-cards none of them worked, I tried to contact my ISP, they couldn't help me, they said I had all the right settings so it's most likely something with my phone...
I've got no idea on how I can fix it. and would love if anyone could help me sort this problem out -> I don't have any important data on the phone so we can reset it as much as needed...

I did ask One Plus about it, they send me this zip (re-uploaded) http : // www . mediafire . com / download / rmuaie7f8ch5dji / ONEPLUS % 2BONE - StockRecovery - Windows . zip
(can't post links yet) which I then ran to fix the problem. just be aware of that it locks your bootloader again, if you don't want it to lock your bootloader edit the .bat files and delete the line which says "fastboot oem lock" and you should be good to go (worked anyways for me).
Thanks a ton this really was Helpful.. I guess OnePlus One has a glitch 11.1 and now also with 12.1 CM.. Will try Factory Restore and will update.. Same thing happen with my Frnd in India.. who switch between SP's. He had to restore to fix the internet issue.
I have had the same problem on one of my oneplus 2's. One phone works fine. The other phone was working but is not connecting to Internet using data connection. I have checked the settings and they are exactly the same as the other phone which is working fine.
My phone has suddenly stopped having any service whatsoever, I have tried everything, factory reset, format data, but have still been unable to get anything. I tried playing around with the radio settings and the APN but that hasn't worked either. If anyone has some ideas, they would be welcome.
Did you try putting the sim card into another phone?

Does the SIM status screen show your phone number and IMEI? I had a Galaxy Nexus once that quit working, and those were blank (or maybe it said unknown) in the status screen. I figure possibly the EFS partition developed a fault or got corrupted.
I flashed the 5.0.1 radio and was able to get service again and can now text but I'm still unable to call anyone.Whenever i try to dial the number it simply goes silent, loses service and ends the call. I am also still unable to receive calls as well,all calls people attempt seem to cause me to lose service and only get a voice mail afterwards.
I haven't checked the sim status screen yet and I am unsure as to how.

You can always flash back if their is no improvement
Thanks for the suggestion but I have already done so and I have observed no improvement. am beginning t suspect that it may be an issue with the EFS but I'm not sure what steps to take to verify this.

After flashing 5.01 radio, did you try to wipe cache and dalvik cache? Maybe the phone process still has bad cache (if possible). Just a try! I hope it works. Otherwise there is some big problem

If you suspect EFS corruption, try restoring any TWRP backup you made prior to the problem.
The EFS partition will be present in the backup, unless you unchecked if you checked that partition in TWRP Backup.

I have a similar issue. After I updated to 5.1 my mobile data doesn't work. I tried everything listed before in this thread with no result. I don't know what is happening. The first one I updated using 5.1 factory image. Reverted to 5.0 Factory image and it worked again. So, I update by OTA to 5.01 and then to 5.1, same results. This drives me crazy! I want 5.1 on my Nexus
BTW I have D821 model. Any suggestion?

There is another topic on this matter (i.e. common problem): http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/help/sim-card-recognized-upgrade-to-nexus-5-t3054267
For me it helped, ejecting and reinserting the SIM card. But I had also flashed other ROMS and cleaned the SMS/call/contacts database. So not sure why it worked.
I also notice that my System UI frequently stops. Does anyone have a stock System UI for me? Many thanks!
I am having similar issue and SIM status shows Radio off, how do I turn on?

This problem is killing me -- "Not registered on network" -- I've tried everything
I have the SM-G920F model S6.
Custom rom initially was XtreStoLite 1.4a with the latest bootloader and modem installed via Odin.
It was working fine for a month or so... Then suddenly I received network connectivity issues (doesn't connect to 3G/4G and I can't make or receive any calls or texts). I thought the sim was damaged, I bought a new one with a new number, still not working.
I upgraded the rom from 1.4a to 1.5 via TWRP (doing a factory reset too).
Still nothing.
I've tried turning phone off and on, clearing the cache for the "phone" app too.
Also checked the IMEI number, it's fine, no mismatch and it's not banned/been blocked either. Tried the whole selecting a specific network/finding network automatically thing too, no dice T_T
Nothing is working.
Anyone help? It's crazy that my phone isn't working despite all these actions I'm taking!

Maybe you really should try stock ... Or if you managed to root without triping Knox you could unroot and go completely stock and if it works test it for some time and if stock dose not work ... Then at least your phone is stock ( taking in account that Knox is not triped ) go to service and see if they could help you in any way ...
Also if you have warranty at all ...

I have a SPH-L720 from Sprint, it was running the 4.4.2 stock rom, the phone was unlucked and working under Movistar here in Mexico (i dont have idea of the method used for unlock the phone).
So, yesterday i rooted the phone without problems, installed de CWM recovery, made a backup of my stock rom, wiped data and cache and installed the cm-12.1-20150413-OPTIMIZED-jflte ROM (from this tutorial tinyulr .com/ooqye9s ), the install completed, i started the phone with no problems, proceeded to install the Gapps, and the phone was working good, my network and data worked (had internet, could make calls and send sms), but the phone drained the battery too quick and the camara had some issues, same thing with the dialer (i wasnt able to hang up a call, the red button didn't anything).
So i decided to download the CM Downloader app, search for an update and the app downloaded the "cm-12.1-20150625-NIGHTLY-jfltespr" ROM (i didn't saw or knew about the "JFLTESPR" part), the phone rebooted and installed the update, tha camera and the dialer problem disapeared but the phone didn't recognize the network anymore, it says "No SIM card". i tried to install the cm-12.1-20150413-OPTIMIZED-jflte ROM again, tried to restore the backup of my stock rom, but nothing works, my network s not working and i dont know what to do.
Please help :c
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. Check your apn settings. They probably are not set up correctly for your carrier. Go to settings, wireless and networks, more, cellure networks, access point names. Google yourcarriername apn. You can usually find the correct settings there.

Well, you might have to return your device to stock and start all over using Odin. But first see your device's specific forum here,http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-sprint. All and specifically ask your question here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2374543. They are the experts on your device and will be off more help than I.
