Hello, everybody. First of all, I apologize if this is not the right place to post this.
I got an Ace 2 about a month ago. It was unlocked and running on Gingerbread. I didn't know anything about Android before and I tried to flash a custom ROM. By doing so, I wiped my IMEI and Baseband. I have tried almost anything that there is on the internet and I haven't been able to recover it. I followed this guide step by step (I even asked for help in that thread, did what I was told, no success).
When I dial *#06# I get an "IMEI null/null" message, and on the device's information, it says "baseband unknown". Since I have no IMEI, I can't access the Service Mode, I only get a blank screen. So I couldn't try that method either.
I am currently running on a stock Jelly Bean downloaded from Sammobile (a Portugal version, since I heard that one and the Russian didn't have any RAM problems). I have tried reinstalling several times, upgrading, and nothing has worked so far. Please help me recover my IMEI and baseband. I don't have the money they charge in my country to fix this. Thanks in advance.

As often said: Custom ROM (CM11) on GB will not work. JB is needed.
I suggest to beginn from scratch by flashing (ODIN) 3-Parted GB FW - Be sure you pick the correct one for your Phone 8160 or 8160P

maybe only modemFS flashing (CWM) will also help (DJM is me on Andriod hilfe)

Why in first case did you flash a ROm which isn't intended to be for your device?
Well you killed your EFS partition (bricked)
I hope you mad a EFS backup BEFORE you flashed. So you can restore it and all will be fine.
You could try the Stock Firmware via Mobile Odin if it fixes your EFS problem. No Guarantee here, sometimes it dsoes work and sometimes not.
Good luck to you

I believe the reason you are experiencing this issue is because this new firmware you flashed doesn't contain a custom radio and the n7100 firmware did. You will need to find a n7105 radio, flash that through CWM or TWRP and you should be back in business mate.

thanks for everyone...
Would be glad to help you but you seem to have skipped the first rule : read, read, read before you do anything else. You even admitted that this is your first Samsung device, so why did u assume that everything should have been htc like ?
Anyhow, you can try to flash the newest 4.1.2 update for the 7105, even though I fear that your problem is your efs folder, and since this is unique for each device, no flashing any rom will put it back in place.

yah.. i have flash that ROM just now..
but, why my signal is verry in poor level? only showing 2 bar?
im sorry, im not experienced with samsung devices
Since you said that the phone is from Australia and Optus you may want to flash its original firmware back in place :
http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&model=GT-N7105&pcode=OPS&os=1&type=1#firmware
If you do not use the phone in Australia you may want to find a firmware (if available) for your device/geographical region.

I am facing the same problem you had before, however when i try to Odin the stock 4.1.1 firmware back to the phone, it stops at the Samsung logo when restarting. I have to force back to recovery mode to flash the omega back to have it start again. Can you please tell me the steps you did on putting back to stock firmware? thanks
If you haven't yet reflashed the EFS partition (don't do that, ever ! unless you have a good reundant set of backups), you actually don't need to reflash to stock firmware at all (and I doubt that it'd do any good anyways. It just puts back a generic EFS with the files set at default values, but certainly can't put back the data you had in your own device's EFS, this is unique to each phone).
Just head on over to the Galaxy S2 forums and look for a thread called "Restore your IMEI in 9 steps" (something like that. There's actually quite a number of threads describing the same procedure, you can find them by searching "samsung restore imei" in all forums, works just as well).
I had the same problem the other day (and no backup of course, silly and impatient me... ), it worked like a charm..
It's topics like this that i know that People Will get Hurt on. Come on, read and study before doing anything on a smartphone. There's a reason why android doesn't come with administrator rights from factory.

hi guys,
please before you start judging on me and tell me to search the forums for the answer, please read the thread completely...
i have galaxy S III AT&T which lost the imei after rooting and cwm installation. the full details for the mobile is attached below.
i found many threads for solutions like QPST and Z3X activation box to inject the imei again but my major problem was in both procedures the will not be recognized from the tool due to the DIAG Mode is not enabled...
when i try to enable it with any code like *#9090# or *#0909# and also scripts nothing pop up to enable and according to one good guy here, this issue happen when the imei is lost..
please if any one could fix this issue...help us all because many people need it!!!
one more question which is disturbing me....most of the threads for rooting here does not mention the build number that is capable to apply to !!!! mentioning that i have another SIII at&t which was flashed by friend of mine to:
SGH-I747M stock rom
Build Number : JRO03L.I747MVLDLK4
Jelly Bean: 4.1.1
and i am afraid to flash it back to the stock rom of SGH-I747 ( PDA = I747UCDLK3 ) from sammobile and face the same destiny!!
Please help us guys with every thing i mentioned before...
Why don't you try to ODIN back to stock 4.1.2 and see what happens? No root and stock recovery. I've read where some have gotten their IMEI back by doing that. At the very least, it may cause the diag codes to work. You may need to reroot if you try to re inject it with one of the methods you mentioned.

i have no problem to do so....but does the stock rom for jelly bean 4.1.2 ( PDA = I747UCDLK3 ) has safe root??!!!
because most of the time when i try to auto cf root these devices nothing will happen...the device will restart for root and the red droid will show up, then it will stuck in ( cleaning up..... ) and wont go for rooting !!!
i think these devices has a locked bootloader!!!

Yea, now I see there is no tar 4.1.2 to go back to. I think since that's the case, I would connect to Kies with a PC and do an emergency firmware recovery. Hopefully that will fix you up.

Try this you can update to last firmware too.
Hi all,
I have an Ace 2 I8160 which had the original rom till yesterday. I went through some post and I decided to flash the TeamCanjica CyanogenMod10.2. I did and everything seem to be ok, but I can't get network signal on the phone. I mean, I do a operator scan and I see the operators in my region but no way to select one, or when in auto select, same results. Same with APN, I believe the settings are ok, but still no 3g connection or whatever.
Do you have any idea what could go wrong?
I've been reading and some people says it could be a corrupted EFS folder, but I didn't made any backup at the very beginning so no way to restore it. When I enter in the key pad *#06# it display the word IMEI but no imei is shown... this gives me the felling of being this problem...
Does anybody have idea of what could be wrong? do I flash a new flash? is there any way of recovering the phone?
Thanks a lot for your help!!
More details pls:
8160 or 8160P? You said 8160 - But only to be sure.
Which FW did you have before: GB or JB?
Post your Baseband.
Posted only in 2 forums? Post more!
more info
Hi thanks for the help,
more details;
It is an I8160, at the beggining I had GingerBread 2.3 and I flashed straightforward CM10.2 with JellyBean 4.3 (I think that the problem cames from the fact that I didnt pass by the JB4.1)
When I input on the keyboard *#06# to see the imei, it display the word imei but no number, however from the menu where you get the info of the phone, there I can see the correct email and a baseband (I8160XXLL2) which I don't know if it is the original GB or the new JB (I still have the new JB CM10.2)
Any idea on how to fix it? If I go back to a Stock GB with the 3 files, PIM... and then to my regional GB would it work? any ideas?
Thanks again!
Ll2 is gb.
Yea it would work
Solved
Yea, after flashing the russian version with the PIM and then a EU version is back to life!!!!
Thanks all!!!!!
pls delete...

If your device is N7100...then yes...you can use the stock N7100 rom to repair the device..
Regarding the recovery...you can use TWRP latest version for the N7100 device.
Files can be found in that section on xda...g

i have installed dn4 2.4 rom finally to be quit of the at&t sh**

for a community as this i was thinking that more poeple should help....like we did in the past
I'm running latest ressurection ROM and have this service issues. Sometimes its emergency calls or no sim card. I just replaced the sim tray so it wasn't that. Anyone have an idea how to fix this. Service won't come back on till I reset the phone but only works for 5-15 mins
Does anything think this could be the 4g sensor issue?
Never had any issue here M919/MDL/OK3. Odin the whole ok3 firmware and try again. (Not using ok3 BL myself, still using the old 4.2.2 one, idk if that makes any difference)
I updated galaxy a500h to lollipop but after upgrade there is invalid imei error and no service error occurred. ...any kindly help me ....thnxx in advance

Well did you flash with odin or recovery? Stock or custom rom? Did you use the right kernel? Do you have a backup of your IMEI/EFS? Id try to find an official firmware and flash it with odin. Try one of these: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-A500H/ if you still have problems after flashing stock and dont have a EFS backup...start googling "restore imei galaxy a500h" or something along those lines....good luck and always have a backup of your imei/efs in the future.....also youll prolly get better help if you ask in that devices forum....here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/samsung-a-series/help
I think the problem was I didn't flash the modem after stock. I used the nonhls version which has given me all bars outside my home. Problem solved'
I flash the custom rom
