Sounds like you may have bought a phone that was flashed with the wrong rom. Or it was a refurb, Can you get into recovery? If you can then flash a n900p rom or better yet get a tar file of a stock n900p and flash through Odin. Once that is done contact sprint so they can give you the correct imei through the hands free activation.

Sounds more like someone had issues with their efs folder and used a backup from an S4. If it boots to android, it doesn't have an S4 rom flashed.

Get a hold of a stock n900p rom and flash that. Then root your phone again and flash your new rom

If you flashed the stock bootloader and modem for the n900p, through Odin. All you have to do is call or chat online, with the service provider for your phone. Tell them your imei number is corrupted or changed and you would need it corrected. I have sprint and told them this, they asked for the sim card number. Afterwards my phone did a factory reset and went through the hands free activation. This corrected my imei and I had to reroot my phone

Hi
I've used SP Flash tool to replace rom, and accidently pressed "Format" instead of "Download".
now, the phone recognizes the SIM card, but could not connect to mobile network at all!
also, on engineer menu, I go to Radio Information and it doesn't display my phone number.
and there's a "gsm service: out of service".
I've managed to restore my IMEI using MTK6575 Imei Restore tool.
but still it doesn't work
please advice
thanks!
SIM IS DETECTED CORRECTLY -
PHONE INFORMATION
IMEI LOOKS GOOD
BUT SIM STATUS IS WRONG...Even the phone number not displayed
PLEASE HELP....

Hi guys!
I am new to rooting and all these things. I got my one max where it has already been rooted. Then i stupidly flashed a sense 6 rom and was happy the flashing was successful.
but the rom had lots of bugs. So i sent it to a phone repair shop to unroot it. Then the guy at the shop said that and only then did i realize that the imei is missing.
he cant unroot it without an IMEI.
so what do i do?i was so happy to get this phone but this comes along.
how do i regain my IMEI?
Thanks for the help guys
What recovery are you in? Try the latest twrp recovery
How do i check what recovery im in?im sorry i barely know these things, it was the previous owner that rooted the phone.

The best thing you need to do is flash an RUU. I am going to send you a PM.
Also my host is down and you would need to click on the mirror button anyways.

I recently had my phone flashed to page plus with working 3g, and been talking with my dealer and they now have the 4g cards for page plus. In order to use them i need to be able take my phone basically back to stock and remove the flash to page plus from the phone. what is the best way to accomplish this is at all possible, could i just do an OTA update, or can i just download the stock firmware and flash it back using odin. Thanks

This is just a guess, but somewhat educated one. I would never take an OTA while running a modified ROM especially to try get back to a stock state. OTA are generally just patches not the whole system it most likely will cause major issues if not a soft or even worse a hard brick. I would go with the odin route for safety reasons but make sure you read all the directions and get the right images for your hardware model and maybe even the same baseband you were originally on before switching.
Lets see what other people think before you jump in...

Odin back to your the original firmware you were on before switching carries like the other person said. Your radio will be included in whatever full wipe Odin tar you use. How did you flash page plus? Did you just boot into download mode to do it?

You have to flash firmware compatible with your bootloader/kernel. What was/is your firmware version? It is under build number in settings/more/about phone.

You are on MK2. The last three characters of your build number tells you what firmware you are running, the last three under baseband version tells you what modem you have. This thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2735172 was created for the NC5 wipe and no wipe Odin Tars but the poster was kind enough to include links to the MK2 tars as well. Make sure you click on where it says MK2 for your downloads and flash in Odin via the instructions in the post and you should be good. Backup whatever data you need as you are basically going to be factory reseting your phone to MK2 so if you need text messages/call logs/contacts/calendar stuff back it up cuz you're going to lose it.

I'm speaking entirely from ignorance but did you flash the right variant? E.g did you flash 925F firmware on a 925F device? If I were to hazard a guess (and that's all this is, a guess) I'd say your radio firmware seems messed up (with baseband also being unknown).
What happens when you revert to your original firmware?

Only way to flash it back would be if you made a backup of the EFS partition when you first rooted/installed recovery. The EFS partition contains all the IMEI data which is unique to your phone and flashed at the factory. Since you corrupted it, the only way to restore it would be to flash the EFS backup if you made it or send it back to Samsung for service. AFAIK there isn't a way to recover lost IMEI's if the EFS partition has been corrupted/wiped.
That's ducks really badly

Yeah. I suggest sending it back for repairs and when you receive the new one, root and do a backup of the EFS partition after root. There are several guides online on how to do a backup of EFS using adb/terminal emulator. Keep this backup in a safe location and don't lose it.
You can flash what you want now, nothing will help you. Your EFS partition is gone and without this specific backup you cannot restore the IMEI number. Send the phone to Samsung, they can generate the IMEI number and restore the entire phone.
new trwp recovery have a option to backup.. will post the thread here as little warning in the twrp thread..
Yep I always backup my efs/imei folder as soon as I root phone.
ernell said:
Hi.
I did the same stupid thing a while ago with the same result (without efs backup). Forget about reflashing. The phone is now a mediaplayer.
I asked our local Samsung repair shop, but they wanted to exchange the entire motherboard. Thats how they fix these things in Sweden.
BUT there is an easy way to fix it.
If you have been flashing 5.11, then I dont know, but if you havent, then you can contact an IMEI fix website, and they will help you
by remote service. It works perfectly well. You will get a new IMEI and new serial number. Send me a PM for a link. There is not so many
people doing this, and it took me a while to find the right guy, but guess if I was happy when it was fixed
It will cost you some dollars (60 in my case), and you cannot upgrade to 5.11 later (I dont know why), but thats better than brick.
Hope this helps.

Is that actually legal? I'd send it to Sammy and get it properly fixed, rather than putting up with some dubious services. What if you want to sell the phone later? Have fun explaining why updating to 5.1.1 won't work. I wouldn't ever buy a phone if I heard that someone changed the IMEI. Changing the IMEI is usually associated with a stolen device.
I had the same problem (but IMEI dissapeared), when I flashed 5.0.2 didn't work. But Then flashed 5.1.1 and it worked. Try this. You will loose root.
