What do you mean official 2.3.4 which one .
Did you flash the correct CSC for your network .
Is your IMEI correct and if not restore from your backed up EFS folder .

no i dont have my efs backup
oh well just use the phone as MP3 player Camera etc
Or search the restore IMEI threads / restore EFS folder threads might even be in the stickies section .
Next time follow rule one Back up your EFS first ..Rule two is understand before you flash what you are doing as it saves another brick in the SGS2 wall .

If you have root, try this tool if it doesnt work, flash your phone back to stock, reset the flash counter with a USB jig and send it to samsung saying that it suddenly stopped working.
If you have never flashed a custom rom, then just send it back to samsung (Make sure the flash counter is 0 and you have no yellow triangle and that its on the firmware your phone came with)

HELP ME PLEASE!!:crying:

If so flash modem for your local area network

Hello everyone.
Had a custom rom installed (Yes I know that can be dangerous, but do it allmost everyday) But my problem is that my IMEI changed to 00049 ...... and now I don't have any network.(Nope never used that efs backup)
So I did find a guide to restore my IMEI by deleting the efs folder and copy som date back from from my SD card, but that didn't work, tried to flash another rom and now the internal SDcard i also formatted, så no backup at all
My problem is that in the efs folder somthing is missing the imei folder and now my phone don't connet? What rom do I need to install and hvad tool / guide do I need to follow to restore my network connection.

Usually when the number changes it is due to the folder just not being read by the rom, flashing a stock rom via odin often resolves this. By wiping the partition you've completely destroyed it, as above you can't now do anything without a backup.
Following the first thing you find can often make things worse, best research fully before flashing anything.
u have flash a MG4 rom ? If so then u MUST use the MG4 modem .. all other modems not working and let u lose IMEI ... its bec of change EFS partion ..its not broken only change other format .... u can read here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2377731

Hi
I decided to try one of the leaked 4.2.2 roms for my Samsung galaxy S3
I made a nandroid backup in CMW recovery before doing so
Flashed the rom and all worked ok but would not connect to my network (EE/Orange UK)
I tried another custom rom same story
Ok so i thought i better recover my nanroid recovery
booted into CMW and it cant mount the SD card
So i used S3 Toolkitv7 to download a stock rom and flash via odim
Again stock rom will not connect to EE/orange
So now im truely stuck

If your IMEI is unknown that's why you're not registering on the network and with no efs backup that's a problem.

See my previous reply.
0049990 is a generic IMEI if your efs gets deleted/corrupted..it won't register on the network.

Ive had a look and can see a orange and a UK generic stock rom but i dont remember my phone coming with any orange branding

Sent it back to Phones 4 you they had it for nearly 1 month
But got it back fixed and done under warranty

You couldve just flash Mg4 baseband, because your efs partition was changed. Because the latest MG4 baseband does that. Read Efs /IMEI sticky in general section.

No idea really... but if you know how to flash a stock rom via ODIN you can try that. If flashing back to stock again doesn't help then you probably need to send to Samsung for repair.
No service as per the basic guides stickied in General section .
Please check your IMEI is correct if not restore your backed up EFS folder .
No EFS backup = no fix .

I've just falshed a official firmware rom again , and still no coverage but at least it recognizes the sim .. If I have this new OFFICIAL ROM , and Flash Counters are reseted , I can go with it to warranty ?
If you have followed all the steps in the guide then you will probably get a warranty repair .

Hi !
I'm sorry, , either you flashed it on Odin with "Clear EFS " box ticked, either you flashed firmware for wrong device. (Ex: i9000 for i9300. )
Anyway if you didn't backup EFS the only issue is Reparation Center.

you might be able to restore service if you flash an MG4 or MG5 official rom through Odin. This is only if you previously used an MG4 or MG5 rom and then flashed some other rom which uses an older modem . read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2377731 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2393289

I don't think it will work.
alexalghisi, can you go in Phone Information and check if you have baseband?
If no, warrently, no luck.
In the black box the phone or modem is Mc2. This is an older modem than MG4. When a ROM that uses an MG4 Modem is flashed , it alters the files in the efs Folder making the folder unreadable for earlier firmwares. If OP had ever flashed an MG4 or MG5 ROM . than an MC2 ROM would not be able to read the EFS. as it can only be used by the newer firmware that can read it. If the folder has not been corrupted than it should work.

You say yours is neither mg4 or mg2 correct? well those are the only modems capable of working with the new EFS. perhaps if you flash an MG4 OR MG5 rom. you may be able to get your signal back as long as the EFS folder is not corrupted. It doesnt alway work but I have read that sometimes it does. worth a shot before service center
Nah as long as there is generic imei there won't be any 'catching the signal' AFAIK. Look in sdcards . some ROMs have automatic efs back up scripts maybe you ll get lucky..
