I have an att galaxy note 2. I use straight talk and have been doing so for years with a lot of different models. I have had my note 2 rooted for at least 6 months with no problem. Yesterday I wanted to try a new rom. I downloaded crash rom and flashed it and when I rebooted it I no longer had a a signal and if I try to make a call it says it doesn't detect a sim. I have wiped everything and flashed a different rom and still no detection of sim. Please help!! Thanks!!
never heard of "crash rom"..you probably flashed a rom not meant for this phone..

I would flash to stock with ODIN first to get all your baseband/modem stuff in order. Then i would suggest you check out clean rom. And im kind of obliged to also suggest Xenon-HD

I will check out xenon-hd for sure!! How do I flash back to stock with Odin? Download the newest firmware from Samsung? Oh and clean rom is what I have on here now, but obviously doesn't do much good if I can't use the sim, lol
Is your imei still intact? Check it on your phone's dialer *#06# hopefuly you didn't corrupt your EFS.

Baseband showing unknown for sure and you have that circle thing on top right. Try flash stock rom as stated above and if that doesn't then you will need to restore your efs backup or nand backup if you have one.

Here is round #2 if you get into trouble...g
cant fix it...
Should I just try to sell this and buy a new phone. I have tried a million different ways and cannot get the phone to read the sim card. I can't get Odin to work, every time it just fails. And I can't find a stock att rom anywhere for the note 2. Is this a lost cause at this point? Is it even fixable? thanks

Did you even read the two links above? The rom is there. You have failed to read. I would just flash back to stock and not mess with it until you learn how to read and search. I apologize for sounding harsh but the two posts above you gave you everything including the rom and you have failed to read and search. We are here to help you to help yourself.

I'm helping to get some help from the community on this one. I've already received extensive help from a senior member on here but haven't had any luck yet. I have a T-mo SG3 currently running the fantastic Darthstalker rom. I flashed the latest modem and the next thing you know I don't seem to have a data connection (first at E then G). I tried a few things that didn't work, then I check the imei # and it's at zero. I then tried this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1852255 but when I flashed the zip file the message that came up said "efs backup starting waiting to see if unlocked" then " backup skipped not unlocked". I thought that was weird because I thought it was unlocked already or should be. Anyway I don't know if that method would have worked because I could not get past that step. I then started reading here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1308546 but haven't actually tried it yet because I don't know a lot about it. Phone has been running great and still is prior to this. I did not have a backup of the efs/imei prior to this happening but when looking in root explorer there is an efs file in there, which also contains an imei file. My hope is that I am able to restore my imei number and get my data connection back. Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
That Synergy zip is for Verizon phones. And it won't help you now because your IMEI is already lost.
You need make use of the IMEI restore thread. It's around these forums somewhere.

Any TouchWiz ROM from this phone. Whether that's a modified version of it or not (I don't call TouchWiz stock). It just makes one step of that whole process easier when you're on TouchWiz since you're dealing with star codes.

To avoid confusing and bricking your phone, just ODIN back to stock. Go here --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1771687

fo.Hey there. I managed to inject the imei back into the phone but am still having trouble with the data connection. It's still showing EDGE. I followed the steps to backup/restore and then get the $G back but it didn't work. I used the method by PeoplesArmy. Are there any other ways to get the 4G back? I'm still on my custom rom, should I go back to stock and see what happens. Thanks in advance for any help/info
Hey, i was trying to unroot my phone and reset the counter using triangle away but now my imei number is changed and my sim card doesnt work...please someone help me.....what should i do
Which ROM you have installed? Have you tried to flash official stock rom again? If no, try to flash and see.
If you are on MF2 or ME6 ROM, then you might need to restore EFS backup.. Anyways, give us more details so that we can investigate futher.

Why? When I was an admin in a big forum like this, requests like yours never ceased to amaze me. This is a public forum, not a private messaging service. How can anyone else learn from any of it if its parts are deleted every time something's resolved!?!
It's a selfish request... in exactly the same way that someone saying they'll PM someone to privately continue the discussion, when said discussion is guaranteed to contain information from which others may benefit, is selfish. I'm not saying you're selfish, or calling you a name or anything like that. I'm simply pointing-out that maybe you didn't think it through before asking a mod to remove the thread. It's participants aren't the only ones reading and learning around here.

Which rom are you using? Check that.
Do you have Odin flashable stock rom? If not download that, then you can flash the whole rom with Odin or from there you can extract the modem file and flash with Odin. The process is not actually easy if you have never done it before. Or you can search for the specific rom modem which is flash ready and download and flash that. The easiest method would be to flash stock rom altogether.

I think I didnt make my clear, I meant what ROM did your phone originally come with, which modem or baseband version, do you know that? Was it international rom or country specific? The rom you flashed later didn't have the right modem version that is why you are in this mess, find out which rom your phone came with and then download that rom then you can either flash the whole rom or extract the modem file and flash that.

I also had the same problem with my wifes s3. I had to unroot, rest binary counter and so on. I then took it to Samsung and all they did was flash the latest stock rom from our carrier and it fixed the imei problem. if only I researched it here first would have saved me a lot of trouble. a thread such as this one would have answered all my questions. plz don't delete this thread.

Hello,
So bought my note 2 from amazon, international version, sim free.
So i rooted it and fired a custom firmware on it.
Decided i prefer having the functionality of the s pen and wanted to reinstall the original f/w.
So managed to get an original samsung firmware (BTU) csc.
All is well on it apart from my sim card does not work in it (no service).
works fine in my old phone still.
It doesn't allow me to update it over the air and kies is a nightmare.
So im stuck with a tablet at the moment that I cant update.
I think I may not have the correct original firmware but I dont know how to determine which one will work!
Any input would be appreciated....
Thanks
Dan
You seem to have stumbled upon the problem introduced by Samsung in their newest kernels (they are used in newer ROMs).
The kernels cause IMEI number to not be recognised after flashing old firmware once the new one was installed. The only recourse is to root again and flash back one of the newer roms (Phoenix, Omega or Android Revolution will do nicely) or try to find original Samsung firmware for your region, but it has to be one of DM6, DF1 or DG1 at the end of the name and flash it using Odin.
Look here and remember to match your phone model number as well as firmware region.

Efs partition is where your phones unique identifiers like imei are stored. If it gets damaged or wiped and you have no backup then your phone is a brick, pure and simple.

Try and Flash an official dme6 or dmf firmware as per above poster. If imei is still blank then your phone is a brick.
I don't know why there are so many how to root blogs on the Internet and none of them tell you how to back up efs or why it's critical. It's a complete tragedy.
I've had to restore imei once to save my gs3. Was very lucky I'd flashed an omega rom earlier and the aroma installer asked me if I'd like to do a backup and told me it's important. I heeded the developers advice and backed up said files to drop box. Now I always do it immediately after rooting - all custom recoveries give an option to back up efs.
I hope it's not too late, it's sad for people to have to learn the hard way, best of luck.

Ive just read that if you flash the latest modem you should be alright. The post to guide you on this is by Dr Ketan in the original android development section.
I dont think your phone is bricked I think if you flash the very latest modem you should be alright. Just remember when flashing anything to your phone you should always make a nandroid back up first and copy it to your pc just in case for safe keeping plus a copy of efs folder. I hope for your sake you can sort this. And remember to read thoroughly all instructions before anything else. Look here and click the read this first it should help you..

I'd suggest you backup your efs before trying anything else.
Does your baseband version display now?
If you've already had your baseband updated to the new versions then you can't use it with Perseus kernel. The new modems are interdependent to the new kernels and Perseus hasn't been updated in awhile.
If baseband is newer one then you need an up to date kernel and flashing a newer firmware will obviously address this.

You have nothing to lose at the moment your phone is a semi brick. I think by reading Dr Ketans guide you will be able to get that phone working again. I take no responsibility from the following link but I think you need to give it a go. If you havent backwd up your efs folder than this link may help you. Id say download this latest modem and recovery and again I take no responsibility for your device.

Do i have to flash it when I am flashing the firmware?
Or after?
the new firmware has no imei details etc.
Not so good.
I did back up the efs

No just flash the modem only using odin.
I hope this should work for you.. your efs backup is no good at the moment as you have no imei to display..

i don't have backup of EFS
i am running custom rom and works fine i get my real IMEI but when i install n7100 stock rom with kies or odin i get 0049 fake IMEI and i can't use my phone for calling and all
i want to go back to stock so bed but i cant trying everyday LOL
help if you know how to do it...
Only way to go back is to have previously backed up your efs partition, while you were on your stock rom. Then once you downgrade to older version modem/rom simply restore your efs.

Indeed flashing older modem (and so ROM) causing this.
I replied on other thread(my prerooted)
Flashing latest ME6/MF2/MG1 should solve this.
OR simply you can flash modem, you can find modem on my All in one thread(look my signature) post #6
And don't flash 4.1.1 , it can brick device.

Please stop creating duplicate threads for the same issue. In any case, changing your IMEI is a banned topic on XDA as its illegal in most countries,
You should have taken a backup of your efs partition before you started messing around (this is in all the guides). If you didn't then that's your fault and your loss.

Well, I was reading the bionic sheep kernel thread, and it states in the op to reflash the rom, then gapps, and then the kernel, and your imei should return... Maybe try that first? Can't hurt any...

trying that now, ive tried reflashing it already but worth trying again since the download says 11 hours
Maybe you should try flashing a new modem? Pretty sure that's it.
