So I've been on the PureNexus rom since I got my phone last week and all has been great. Decided the flash Francisco's Kernel in which I needed to move to a systemless supersu. Did all that and the phone worked great until I kept getting a Google Play Services error. Tried to flash the PureNexus rom back over to get rid of the error and now I have lost my IMEI which seems to be why I have a "No Sim" error and lack of data.
I made a backup of my EFS partition using THIS guide and restored it through TWRP, however, no IMEI is being displayed. Backed up everything on my phone just in case but any thoughts on what I should do to recover?
Any help will be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance.
Edit: Just to make sure there was no issue with my sim, I tried another one that was verified to be working and no success.
Factory restore and re flashing the bootloader took care of this exact problem for me. I have no idea how or why that happened, but it worked.

If turning lockscreen security off temporary and rebooting doesn't work do the above recommended flashing stock. Maybe backup your phone completey and wipe internal. This has never failed me many times with stubborn bugs.

I was able to flash this, but I'm afraid my problem is a bit more... problematic.
What I did was copy that downloaded file to my phone then flash it through TWRP. This then creates some blank modemst1 & 2 files that you have to copy to your computer then send them back to the right partitions via fastboot command.
My problem, which I believe a lot of people are having is not just corrupted files, but the efs partition and baseband is corrupted. That's why we keep getting "no space" "permission denied" etc.
I'm able to "fastboot erase recovery" but no success for radio.
Still trying to figure this out.

In the beginning, i can use my note 3 n9005 SFR as usual. But once i tried flashing rom, it showed as error (fail) because I chose BL instead of AP. And i tried to fix it by follow the instructions as Mr. Firasusman suggest me as said in the this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2614787. It solved the problem my phone can now get into the normal screen but i found a new problem. I put in sim card but there is no network signal and I also lost imei when i checked in phone status. What should I do to fix this problem? Anyone, please help me. Thanks a lot.

Check whether EFS folder is backed up by flashed rom in sdcard. If your lucky you can use backup file to get imei number back. Few posts also suggest that flashing back stock rom also get back imei. I am not sure of it. Better back up efs to your pc.

EFS is a folder in phone's file system which saves your phone model, IMEI number and lot more details, Important folder. Flashing ROM the efs folder got corrupted causing the loss of imei number. Try "radicalisto" reply and update the issue.

If is not hardware, chances are that the efs folder is corrupted.
Try a different kernel
Try a different modem
Flash full wipe custom rom again..
Last flash stock rom...
If all fails the problem most like it is in the efs folder, if you have a backup restore it

Back up before you do anything else do not forget to backup the efs folder
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
same issue.
I have the same issue as described by the op.
I flashed back to official 4.4.2 and the problem persist.
IMEI number is correct.
IMEISV is 01
Ive been trying to fix this for over a week to no avail. Losing my mind. Is there anything else you can suggest to fix this issue?
Phone is an i9500.
Was really hoping for some help by now. This will be the second time ive posted to this site in the 2 years ive been here with zero responses.
As a side note. I wanted to add that at the same time i started having the "not registered on network" error my sd card stopped being read by the phone also. I replaced the sim/sd holder in the phone itself hoping this would fix both issues but it has obviously not. Still not reading the sd. Says its blank or unrecognized file system. When i try to format it it doesn nothing. This is the sd I had in the phone before having issues. It worked fine then.
The phone just suddenly stopped working one morning. I used it to send a couple text and make a call, next time i picked it up "not registered" issue began. No changes to the phone in between those times.
I figured I would add this info in hopes of gaining a response.
Thanks.
Hi,
I've been having problems with my 4 month old GS4 lately, mainly because I was not able to make or receive calls and texts. I looked up my problem, and eventually traced it down to a unknown baseband and IMEI problem. Sure enough, my baseband and IMEI was missing. I researched and found out that you need to backup your EFS folder as it may have been corrupted, unfortunately I was not able to do so. I even tried factory resetting my phone to stock TouchWiz, hearing reports that a hard reset can fix the problem; unfortunately, I'm still missing my IMEI and Baseband. All help is appreciated
This Phone was/is rooted, and has been flashed several times with custom ROMS.
Thank you in advance.
If the problem started without you flashing or doing anything else, then you have a hardware failure. Your emmc chip is probably broken. Bring it to a service center.

I'm not so sure really. I flashed Cyanogenmod and it was working fine, I could make and receive calls. However, my SIM card died and I had to replace it. That was when I noticed the problem.
EDIT: Okay, I failed to read completely. I kept reflashing nandroid backups however, after experiencing problems unrelated to this.

It might be, since my efs folder have nv_data.bin but i can't tell for sure since i'm still a newbie here.
Did you try searching for efs backup on the phone? I know some roms do automatic backup after flash so it might be left there somewhere.

I can't say for sure. My IMEI and Baseband was visible when I was running CM11. My SIM died eventually, so I had 0 service after that for about a week. During this time, I flashed AntaresOne's Unofficial cm12 5.0. Maybe it was corrupted when I flashed it? Anyway, My efs folder appears to be missing files aswell. I can't seem to find nv_data.bin perhaps my efs folder really is corrupted?
Hi!
Really need your help
I flashed my phone and sold it.
Now customer claimed no network connection and sent it back.
Today I checked the phone and saw, that no IMEI were present.
I restored the IMEI, but there is no network connection.

I sometimes get problems just after flashing, and GSM/Wifi 5Ghz take up to 5 minutes to initialize. Deactivating and reactivating the sim card helps. Did u try that?
- Else, I'd get a 7.1.1 factory image and start over, that baseband is *exactly* the same as mine and I only have that "5-minutes-without-wifi-and-network" bug.
- Try looking for wifi just after booting the phone : if you only see 2.4Ghz networks and no 5Ghz network, just turn the sim car off and on, and it's ok, just that bug.
reflash a full stock firmware, if you have imei, you must have then, then if you want, do the process again to get twrp
Hi Folks,
i've done some reading and my problem is a broken EFS sector due to TWRP recovery.
Even after manual IMEI restore, the EFS is broken and causes the no service issue:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/how-to/investigation-recovering-efs-twrp-t3522171
Only option is to get a EFS copy from another device, push it on my one and change the IMEI to my own manually.
If efs was ’restored’ using the signed twrp used for unlocking then there is no fix for that.

Now, when i turn the mobile on, it tells me that the SIM is blocked, but I tried the SIM in another mobile and it works
A/B partition are there so if device is stuck in bootloop it should boot from dormant partition.
You have to flash stock firmware.
Try flashing the persist.img from every build that exists till now. If you manage to flash one of them the issue will be fixed. I've tested it myself.

Please just follow the guide here to get it fixed: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a1/how-to/ota-official-fastboot-image-n2g47h-7-12-t3728929
As it includes all necessary scripts for proper flashing it is secure to use
In worst case, you can also use the appropriate included script to factory reset at the same time when flashing. If nothing else helps, that should do the trick for you

Now I have 2 differents problems.
When I start my mobile, the SIM Pin page shows the message SIM CARD IS LOCKED - NO SERVICE. My sim works in another mobile
When I pu my pin, I get the message "preparing sdcard - Solving errors"
Please just do a full clean flash as recommended by me earlier and your issue should be gone. At least if they are firmware or software related.
After that do a clean flash and that issue should be fixed.

Have you tried another sim in your phone.
If another sim card works then have you tried changing your sim from carrier. It's easy.
