Galaxy S APK Unlock Problem, urgent.

Hi guys, this is my first post and I just made the biggest error ever.
My S2 was (well, still) locked and I tried to unlock it using the Helroz Galaxy S unlock apk, I made the EFS backup, and then tried to unlock it, my phone rebooted and now I have no signal, no gsm, no NOTHING, my sim is completly blocked, I did *#06# and NO imei found. I still have the EFS backup nv_data.bin etc but when I try to apply the BACKUP from the apk it says the backup or EFS folder is not found.
I have no idea on what to do.. my phone works and wifi works, but 0% signal from sim card.
Urgent help is needed, please guys, I beg you.
Sorry for my bad english

HI rehmankhan101
First of all i would like to say thankyou , the ariza patch works like a charm .
But off course i had to root the phone to apply the patch, this disabled the auto updates is there a way to overcome this problem without rooting the phone or buying expensive equipment like NsPro box etc.. ?
I was also thinking, i stay to correction don't know if this will work but , now that the patch is applied and phone is working fine is it possible to make a backup of the baseband ( modem ) and
flash it after flashing a stock firmware with Odin , will this work ? or the base band will get over written with the next auto update ?

i am glad that i have helped even a single person.......updating the phone is no problem u can download new updates for ur phone from sam mobile Link http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/?model=GT-I9300&pcode=H3G#firmware but the problem is u have to root ur phone after flashing new farmware to install ariza patch......i dont think backup up modem will work havn't try it

Certainly no reason you cannot at least write the original modem and CSC down in case of requiring at a later date .

Don't mind him, he does that with every useful thread, troll as **** !!! Nice thread bro i'm gonna give it a shot since my S3 have this problem of signlal drop .

Ok guys knock it off. Posting a file without telling people what it does not only is not wise but will not do you any good to help people looking for a fix.
So it is always best practice when posting something like this to state what is in the zip file and what files it modifies.

zlendel with all due respect, @Theshawty is always being a trol and do anything to tarnish every valuable effort from devs especially if the thread was very helpful. i tried to report several times but ....no response . and as the good member that i am REALLY im gonna check the files in the zip package and give feedback on what modification it does to the phone or the radio since it's for signal drops.

Hi to All
This is a solution just for who has a Changed SN and No Network After The Updating the Phone firmware .
I Dont know what this Hassle is all about & why , The ariza Patch is a tool developed by a 25 years old
Ibrahım from gazıantep – Turkey.
He has experınce and knowladge on pc & Smartphone hardware , software ımage & securıty.
This patch patches the Baseband ( Modem ) & disables it from checking the serial Number of the device .
I had this problem after Flashing a Stock firmware using ODIN , after rebooting the phone will not register the sim on the provider network.
The Patch works 100% and will not harm your Phone .
Here are some Q and A .
Q: This patch is gonna clone my phone ?
A: No,it's gonna bring your network back.
Q: My imei number like 0000**** or 0049**** if i flash this patch it will work or it will bring my original imei number back ?
A: This patch is not about your EFS Folder it is just about network so it won't fix your imei number or bring your original imei number back.
Q: I will do these 2 ways step by step ? Do i have to flash offical firmware first and then flash custum rom ?
A: No,you can choose one of them this is your decision.
Q: Can this patch fix my SN ?
A: No it can't but it doesn't matter because you will always be current.
Q: How can i use it on stock rom ?
A: First change your kernel with CF-Root and follow the steps.
Q: After this operation i will update my phone ? Is it a certain solution ?
A: No after the each update you should flash my patch.
Q: I didn't wipe my daha cache etc. do i have to wipe ?
A: Super wipe will clean your system completely so it is doing everything but if you want to ensure you can do them again.
Q: I have a S3 which has a baseband XXALEF-XXLFB can i use your patch ?
A: I have made this patch for just flash my patch after the each installation. It works if your EFS folder is OK.

IMEI NULL and Baseband Unknown - Note3 n9005 with KitKat

Hi guys,
I red the whole world about finding a solution for my issue, but didn't find anything that worked. I've got my note 3 n9005 flashed with stock 4.4 and the IMEI is showing null and the Baseband is unknown. I red that the IMEI restoring is done through the EFS folder somehow, but unfortunately I don't have it backed up Didn't find anything about the Baseband as well.
Could you guys help me get my note fixed.
Thanks in advance.

SOLUTION:
After investigating my issues forever I finally found out that my note was a Demo version. The guy that sold it to me lied about it, but anyway I returned it to him.
You can check if yours is a demo when disassemble it. You need to be looking for an antenna (it's a long wire coming from the back-right-bottom of the phone, going to the top of it). Unfortunately I deleted my photos showing where the antenna is, but you could search in google. If there is no such wire, your unit is most probably a demo phone.

You must read and learn what causes issues before you try to resolve them, If you don't it can cause all sorts of issues.

Anyway while waiting, do you think there is a way of flashing the SD card itself with the required files from an original or custom rom.
I mean, if I unzip the rom, will I find the files that I need there?
This might be a stupid question, but might be worth asking it.

There is a t-flash method, but we tried it and it didn't work over in the t mobile section. The problem being is you have to use a working phone to do so, and it is always a risk to the other party.

Hi man. People keeps telling you to install new modem, kernel etc...but i think you have corrupted EFS folder.
I hope you backup your EFS folder before flashing ANY rom because, otherwise you will have to go to some repair shop.

Well, I don't understand a lot, but I think you could check if you didn't lost your IMEI. Go on Settings > About Device > Status and check if your IMEI still there.
If it is, I don't know what could be. You could try flash another modem or restore a backup (if you have one) with PhilZ Touch but if it isn't, that means you lost your IMEI. I remember I read about that somewhere, that there is a risk of losing IMEI when you flash a lot of ROMs.
If you have backup from your IMEI, just restore it. If you don't, I don't know what you could do, but I guess you could still do something.
One more thing: Wi-Fi works?
Like I said, I don't understand a lot, so everything I just said may be very stupid. Or not. Sorry for bad english.

help?????......

same problem now as mine my IMEI just became 350050500009692 /01 emergency call only why???

some nice paper weights at least lol none of you have efs back up ? tried restoring it if you do common rule with samsungs all ways back up you efs folder

the sad thing there is mine I don't have my backup

Try NV restore (If you have it Pre-backed up on your phone from factory- at least mine did not have on the N910C but it existed on my N910F) ... Dial: *#0011# , then Menu>Back, then Menu>Key Input> then type Q0000.
After that I don't know where the NV backup is (I forgot, and I don't have the phone now), but you should be able to search here on xda or google it up...
I hope your Exynos has a NV backup....
Good luck
