If i remember correctly flashing rom doesnt wipe out ur imei

IMEI will not get lost in any circumstances... So far flashed as many roms & zips & still not a single error. Also, I think that there's no particular method for backup or restoring IMEI.

better not use that.
without doing something wrong while unlocking, your emei will not be removed/corrupt or what else.
so just dp the right things, no need to make a backup, wich may result in losing it top

[Q] HELP!! No Data? AOKP/Cyan10

So for several months I been just floating around on a rooted stock rom, and honestly no troubles there what so ever.
I decided to flip back over to Cyan/Aokp to see what the new updates were all about, upon doing this I installed Cyan mod just like any other day.
Wipe Data/Caches/Dalvik/System Format etc etc.
Boot up Cyan, all works great. But can't connect to my network. At this time I figure ya know it's just the file, I wipe and give er a go with AOKP.
Same results!!!
What am I missing here people?! :S

Have you checked you IMEI ?
Could have lost that or maybe a re-flash is needed. What ROM did you specifically try ?

There you are, hednik. I was wondering where you'd been.
If you flashed the carrier-appropriate rom, check your APN settings too.

Hey!
Thank you so much for the quick reply.
I Flashed to the lastest Cyan10, and after not having using my data I flashed to AOKP also the most current. Using the newest GAPPS and Clockwork Mod for flashing purposes.
IMEI is that where you dial *XXXX#? if that is the case, I am unable to make any dialing commands due to the network loss.

I went into the Mobile Network settings and tried to find my Networking manually/automatic and nothing came up.
I've flashed the correct AT&T rom to my Bell Galaxy S3 Device.
I apologize, I also went into APN and selected PDA.Bell.ca and nothing.

You'll find your imei under settings in the about phone > status and about half way down is imei.
If your imei is 0 you'll need to do the steps on the page above to restore it.

I've never had to restore my imei so I'm not fluent on this.
You need to be running a stock ROM for this as far as I know. You need to go into a service menu and enable modem before the phone can talk to the program to reinject your imei.
Someone please correct me if on wrong. I know I had to flash the stock ROM to backup my imei.

I'm looking for the service menu to enable modem and not seeing anything.
Any idea if I can flash rooted stock for this to be okay?

The service menu is after flashing stock and entering the dialer code.
Unfortunately flashing stock will not restore your imei

Is you IMEI listed in about phone ? Is it correct to the one behind your battery ?
Did you go back to stock and do a factory reset ?
What are you on right now ?

All hope lost after incorrect flash?

Hello everyone, firstly I'd like to apologize in advance if this has been answered before. I searched and could not find a resource to help me with my problem. Here goes, I recently purchased a SGH-T889 Galaxy Note II. I managed to unlock the device and popped in a AT&T sim card. All was well until I decided to flash the AT&T varient stock firmware on it and that's when everything went wrong. Odin failed at the very end of the flash and the phone would not boot. I flashed back to TMobile stock and the phone boots into the OS fine but now the IMEI is blank, the baseband is unknown, and it says there is no SIM inserted. I also noticed when the phone is connected via USB the internal storage is not accesible, says there is 0 space. After searching around and reading up a bit it seems I have screwed up my EFS partition. Being the extreme noob that I am unfortunately a backup was not made prior to flashing. Am I screwed? I've tried reflashing different versions of the stock but I still get the same results. Is it possible to use a EFS backup from a different phone and insert the IMEI from my phone? Any help will greatly be appreciated.
:crying:

(Please forgive me if you are an advanced user) Are you sure that you are following the step-by-step instructions for flashing that are available here on the forum? I have resolved many problems myself by reading from the list of steps as I flash rather than relying on memory.

Flashing to stock is not your problem. If you're booting you're fine. You will need to restore your imei now. There is a guide in development (edit I actually didn't find it when I just checked, but that guide above should work). I'm sure you realize this now, but never Odin something not made for your phone.

Thanks for the links. I don't have the phone on me at the moment but will give this a try and hopefully this will fix the issue. When this happened to you were you able to see any internal storage from your PC and or the phone itself? When I went into the storage area under settings it displayed how much space was being used by the apps but it also said 0 was available.

I think you'll get it. If it's booting and showing life there's a way to fix it. It may just take a lot of work. When you get the phone check out that link above. It should fix you up.

So I was able to generate my IMEI file with my phones number but I cannot write it to the device. The only way I can get my phone to communicate with my PC is if its in download mode. I really screwed up my partition along with the EFS.

(Resolved!) Disaster ... No Signal after installing different ROM

My phone is LG Optimus G Pro F240K
I installed E988 (United Arab Emirates) then after that I got a message that my storage is encrypted and I have to supply a password to decrypt it, which I managed to solve by "Hard Reset". The Decrypted storage is solved but my IMEI disappeared and No signal!
I flashed back to my original ROM, F240K10r_00.kdz , using the XQ55 method.
after flashing original ROM, still no signal
Now I am very very upset and in need for urgent help sense there is absolutely no enough resources on the internet.

Hi! The same situation was with the LG Optimus G Pro F240L - after flashing from F240K.
corrected as follows:
1. flash the firmware from LGE980H (TCL / TELCEL (MEXICO))
2. flash the firmware of your phone. radio is turned on

You rolled the dice by flashing a rom For a different model. Not so sure that was a wise move.

Guys he needs some help not reproaches

Unfortunately there's nothing that can be done unless he has a backup that he can restore. Once you loose the imei it's more than likely gone for good. I lost mine on the e980 twice. First time a backup restoration fixed it. Second time I had to swap the phone. And as for the app for restoring imei, I tested it but it doesn't work with our phones at all.
Edit: you try reinstalling the baseband. As for how you would get it, I know have no clue.
