check if your IMEI no is correct. if it begins with 00 it means efs has changed. u need to restore it from ur backup. guides how to do it are available in the forum.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swaroopkatargunde:
Yes its starting from 00... but i dont have any backup... how to restore it ???
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unubtanium:
Big mistake not having a backup when you are flashing. For help just search this forum for invalid IMEI note 2
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bearusa:
If you use the search feature and tap in "lost imei" all your questions will have answers. It looks like you have an n7100. And by the look of things you were on mc3 4.1.2 and flashed an older rom of 4.1.1 I dont think you can do that..

GT N7105 with XDA Premium......that is all......
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] virgo0669:
for that u will need to flash stock rom via odin. do not panic. this thing has become very common now. search in android development section of note 2.guides are available todouble bled it ok. just do not panic.read the guides carefully and double check what u r doing.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Boymysterio29:
I had a problem like this except it happened when I flashed a rom. The rom corrupted my SD Card so I lost my backup and even after flashing stock it did not work. Eventually I sent it in to Samsung. Now I have learnt my lesson to keep a backup on multiple locations
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] virgo0669:
yes my friend,unfortunately the service centre is the last resort.hope his works without it.

Go to a alternate servisse centre and ask to change your IMEI with a Box! only way to solve the problem! tried all that is possible and this is the only solution! it´s not about crime we are talking here! it´s about solve a problem!
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MBariya:
It is because of downgrade of your rom.

Some time downgrade results in conflict modem and efs data corruptions.

It recommend to immediate take a backup of efs files after root.

Now do fiollowing steps

1. flash DMC3 full rom( Not only modem).

2. Wipe data and cache.

3. Wipe dalvike cache.

4. Reboot device.

It may solve your problem.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
DMC3 also older rom for countries mentioned above.

Flash mg1 or simply look N7100 all in one on my signature, look post #6 and download modem for mg1 (it will have kernel, recovery and modem) you need modem only for network issue but I recommend to flash all three as your current rom I think not sds patched.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Marlz:
After my phone updated to JB (just standard update from Sony, nothing fancy) the dialer behavior seems strange. I actually use an alternative dialer (have tried a couple with same results) and when I make a call the phone always uses the stock dialer. When I try to edit a contact it always uses the stock contacts program.

This doesn't have anything to do with defaults because I have none set. I cleared the cache as well. When I try to make a call through the alternative dialer it actually asks me if I want to use "phone" or skype, but not the dialer I want.

Any ideas what's going one?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Mr.AnakinSkywalker:
Repair it with Pc Companion.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] georgesmh:
Have you tried installing another dialer? The problem might be from the alternative dialer

Yes tried two other dialers.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] fuzzybee7:
The phone was plugged in to my computer (I was doing development) and was running all the time. Suddenly, while I was not doing development or doing anything, the phone died and I have have never been able to turn it on again.

I've tried:

Hold the Power button

Hold both Power and Volume down button

Take out the battery and put it in again

Replace the batter with another one from my friends' working-perfectly-fine Galaxy S3

The result is the same: no response from the phone at all - it's completely cold, no sound, light or vibration at all - all I've seen is the blank unchanged screen so please don't ask me about the start up screen

What can I do?

*Notes: I've read this thread but my warranty has ran out so bringing it to Samsung is not really the best option.

If you are going to replacet the motherboard and use the same phone, your data should still be there.

If you are going to use a new phone, you have to take out the hard drive and connect to it to get the data from there.

[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] fuzzybee7:
Are you sure all people on this forum are developers? Also, just what kind of developers?

Again, my answer could be wrong but how can it cause problem for others?

Let's break it down:

I said data should not be lost after motherboard replacement

There is no action required here so how can it lead to anything harmful?

Last time I checked, the data in my S3 was still there after its motherboard was replace

Taking out the hard drive from the phone was the part I wasn't sure

As of now, I can see that it's apparently wrong as someone pointed out

However, if there is no hard drive ==> how can one take it out ==> how can one damage anything?

How can I be responsible for anything here?

What do say now Mr. smart developer?

Please provide something concrete and convincing.

[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] lospower:
After checking my hard brick phone by a bestbuy technical, i was told my phone was totally dead. The phone wouldnt connect to PC, can't do power charge, no any response even the jig method. And the data is gone. However, I am not sure how the data backup works. maybe they just don't wanna do it or their lack of doing it.

Normally, the data recovery from damaged hardware is expensive. cause it need plenty of time and they probably think the customer wouldn't pay for that.

Directly replace a motherboard could cost less than repair it. In some cases, could even replace a new phone cost less than a new motherboard. Technically, backup data from hard brick phone could be possible.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] mattparkour:
Similar problem with my Samsung Galaxy S3. Mine turned off randomly and wouldn't turn on again for half a day each time. The last time it happened it wouldn't turn on for a day, so I tried the DOWNLOAD MODE combination, cancelled it, got prompted to RESTART PHONE then it turned on again.

I took in my phone directly to Samsung Customer Service in Albany, Auckland (for New Zealand people). They found that the "current was not stable" and all they had to do was replace the mainboard. It only took them half a day to repair and it was covered by warranty. He said the cost of the mainboard, outside of warranty, would cost around NZD $260.

Replacing mainboard shouldn't affect your memory but it is always best to back up your phone via Samsung Kies (or something similar) before taking it in for repair. According to the Samsung guy, in New Zealand, they are not legally allowed to back up a customer's data on any of their computers, but there is no harm in asking them if you trust them to do so.

Hope this helps :)
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] humzaahmed155:
Replacing the main board replaces all data except the External SD-Card, as the EMMC is built onto the motherboard, they can always backup the /data over QPST, where it isn't readable by any program except that one.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] computer4less:
You're wrong

If you replace the motherboard you are going to lose all your information. All the information its in the old motherboard so there is no way to save your data if your motherboard is replaced.

For less than half the price! Net 10 is the exact same service, hspa+ speeds, which is fast enough for me, i do all my downloading and youtubing off my wifi at home. One thing to note is that the data part is NOT truly unlimited. If u stream videos, and dl large files, they will throttle u until the next month. And if it happens to often, they will disconnect u for good. But for me.....i couldnt b happier, like i said im constantly on wifi for the data part of it.
