Need help
My iPhone 4s lost the imei.
Enything is still working besides recognizing any sim card. It is not recognized by any computer as well. I already went to two labs in Israel, but got it back not fixed.
Really do not know what to do and who can help me.
Not installing firmware update and not erasing all data are successful.
iPhone 4S, iOS 5.0.1
A missing IMEI is a critical failure. It can't be fixed. Buy a new phone.
This is almost always caused by attempts to hack or jailbreak the phone.

Congratulations. You killed your phone. It can not be fixed. You could easily do the same thing to any smartphone by screwing around with the firmware. What did you expect to happen? Try putting diesel fuel in your car that burns regular gas, or vice versa, then complaing that the engine has become a hunk of fused sludge...
Go buy another phone. I don't care what kind, but I'd rather prefer it wasn't an iPhone, just so you won't be back here whining about how your phone doesn't work any more after you hacked it.
A jailbreak shouldn't touch the IMEI. Have you tried to DFU restore the device? Call Apple support, they may need to look at your profile and make sure the correct IMEI is attached to the serial number.
It was jailbraked phone but before one and a half year and I have lost my imei during regular iphone use.
Is it not possible to solve it by raplacing the flash memory or apple just is not ready for a such solutions?
All this says - next my smartphone will be not apple if it comes so easely to such internal total loss.
Any other solutions?

Hi commodore,
We don't provide support here for jailbroken devices, and Apple won't touch it ever again - the warranty has been voided...
Cheers,
