You have a Efs backup?

Have you tried flashing a different modem? That usually fixes it for me. Try flashing the DDUBMF8 modem, it works great for me.

I assume you don't have a efs backup but well let's make this simple
if you do have a backup you can easily get the IMEI back to original state.
if you don't
you can follow this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1264021
it has been working for many users (but i'm not sure if it works for S4) i've never had corrupt IMEI only stone dead one :laugh: (on s4)
i had the s2 with the fake IMEI but i was never able to recover it, now i can't give it a go since the last person who had it "my friend" says her friend of her has it and her friend of her says that my friend has it so it's lost case to try recovering it even though i'd like to recover it
Well i wish you all the best! you will need it samsung and their efs partitions are tricky i know they've got an tool to write the IMEI to the correct partition but not sure its released,

[Q] Not Registered on network (gt-i9500)

I have downloaded a latest stock Rom from sammobiles and flashed it using Odin.
After flashing everything works fine except Sim card. phone detects the Sim card and shows the signals also. and when I make a call on my number, I can hear the tone like call is receiving at other end but phones does not ring.
My IMEI number has changed to something like this 004451121002 .
I don't have the backup of EFS partition either.
I had same problem on my Galaxy s3 few months back and solved it by flashing patched kernel and patched modem.
not been able to find any patched modem for galaxy s4.
Please help to solve the problem.

Hi mate
What S4 model you have?
What rom you flashed now and what you had?
Seem like a modem bootloader mismatch.....

More details needed I think.
Has it EVER worked? (i.e. did you just get the phone and it failed?) (just in case "working on Android 5" means that is what is on the phone and not that it WAS working on v5 )
What was the last thing you did before it stopped?
What firmware or ROM are you using?

Change your sim card .
Check your APN in mobile network settings .

i also have the same problem. possibly hardware issue?

This is sounding like hardware issues. Last thing to try would be download and install fresh version of your firmware, just in case something in your set up has become corrupted.

Backup your EFS partitions with EFS Pro. Then flash latest Samsung stock.

samsung s3 neo (gt i9300i ) not registered on network issue ( only expert)

I am kamran from Pakistan I have issues on my s3 neo ( dual sim) not registered on network issue only in 3g mode but working fine in 2g mode.it is rooted and twrp installed. It searches 3g available networks and takes time after searching when I try to register network it doesn't register .I have flashed it many times and also changed IMEI but same issue so help any expert

Any one expert

Just flash the stock ROM again. That will probably solve your problem.
If it doesn't, try to get a new SIM card, because the SIM can be broken.
Hope I was helpful

Anybody here for my help

No phone calls?

Hey guys, I come here very often and now I'm going to have to open this thread because I've seen absolutely no posts about my problem..
My S6 Edge+ is currently unable to make any calls and I don't know why..:crying: the strange part is that I can still send text messages and use my SIM's mobile data... Another weird thing is that whenever I reboot the phone, my WiFi passwords are forgotten..
Can any one help me? I'm currently running android 6.0.1 and I am considering downgrading it to 5.0.1 to see if it solves the issue...

Still needing help..
No one?? I really need some help since I've tried 4 different roms and modems ano nothing seems to work....

Have you wiped everything and then flashed a stock rom?

Which variant do you have and which MM firmware did you flash? Check your modem, imei, network operator etc and provide that info here.
Also wifi password IMO related with
Code:
ro.securestorage.support=true
this line in build.prop. I would suggest you to add this line under 'ADDITIONAL_BUILD_PROPERTIES' in build.prop but assume you havent rooted your device. If have, add it.

I've downgraded to 5.1.1 and it didn't work, I have the international version of the s6 edge plus and now I'm looking for a new ROM to test to see if I can solve it.. I've checked my imei in two different websites and on imei.info it comes clear, but the other site gives me a blacklisted warning, which makes me think since I bought it online second hand... it probably was reported stolen or lost and now it's blocked... which ise rather inconvenient. .
If I go to SIM Card Status it says "Not Available" everywhere, but on imei information it says my imei and on IMEISV the value is 01. It's network unlocked and right now I'm about to flash a new ROM, probably stock..

Hello, I have the same problem at boot after I receive the call when making a call nothing remains of numbering you have a solution? thank you cordially guillaume

Hi guys, I know this is a really old thread but I'm here just to say that the problem was with the IMEI, it was blacklisted..
I changed it with a friend and then everything worked fine..
Thanks for you help mates!
