Flash stock and take it back to official Samsung repair centre.

It is unnecessary to send it back to the service center (i think).. my serial number was 0000 too.. all i did was flash back to stock and factory reset

Have you tried doing what he said? Flashing stock then factory test? If so and the problem still exists then take all the advice given and go to the service center.

Yes. It solved my problem but i dunno with the others.. this actually happened to me more than once:

a) flashed ParanoidAndroid and i lost my serial number
Solution: i flashed back to stock

b) flashed Android Revolution v11 and i lost my serial number
Solution: i flashed ARHDv11 again and did a full wipe..

I hope this can help the others

I have the same 0000 problem.

My device is international i9300. I corrupted i'ts imei and serial number 1 day after purchase. Today I take my device to a 3rd. party technician and he solve the imei problem but serial 000000 problem remains.

I wiped data and cache after I take it back. And I did a factory reset via android menu. But still the same 0000 serial.

I backed up my efs folder to several locations and make a backup with ktool too. So what is the next step?

Should I flash the latest samsung firmware via odin amd make a full wipe after that?

Or just flash some cm10 rom.

Sorry for bad english and thanx in advance.

Hi, don't worry about bad English mine isn't so good either. Were you able to get your serial number back? If so what did you do? I have the same problem it was gone after I flashed a new rom I had lost the network and the IMEI but thanks to this site and DocHoliday77 the phone is back in order except the serial number but it looks to me that it does not have an effect on the performance. so just may let it go before I do something dumb again. If you did get it back let me know how.

thx Robert'sGalaxy

Thanks JJEgan I see now what you wanted ne to read. I need to flash the new MG basebands because I did update to the XXEMG4 ROM then switched back to a stock rom thinking that would fix my IMEI #. Thanks for not being abusive and just pointing me in the right direction. I hope that is what you wanted me to realize.

No its just a straight forward cut and paste for those that have not read the basics or cannot find the basic faqs and guides . Saves answering the same question day after day .

Hey man,

I read the post and tried using the MG4 modem but I still unable to connect to network. I would search for the network and select my service provider, a pop up would say "registered to network" but when I try to make a call a pop would appear and say "not registered to network".

Now in my notification bar i would see a hazard sign saying: "NO SERVICE selected network (bmobile) not available" any additional direction you could give me to solve this problem would be greatly appreciated.

Thanking you in advance!
