HELP!!! Phone is Bootlooping!!!

ok here is the latest.... flashed to foxstar, its gingerbread but works like a champ!! Wifi is working!! Its not reading the SIM as inserted, so is that possible my sim has failed? I dont have another phone to try it in? Im a verizon guy, is there anything I can do to force it to activate with the SIM card?
 
Yeah its my friends he has an active account, this is his phone, he gave it to me to fix it or part it sort of thing. His card should be activated and fine
 
Use your phone like you are calling someone. Put this in the dialpad. *#06# Your IMEI number should come up. If it doesn't, you could have a corrupt EFS folder.

If it does come up, power off, try removing the sim and reinserting it.
 
I noticed that app needs BusyBox installed to work. I don't know if you have it installed. If you have a problem with it, use this app to install BusyBox.
 
I tried the app and it fails, so I have installed busybox and we will go from there, I have started to try the guide, and I get the read only permission error.
 
go to EFS folder using root explorer, and delete "nv_data.bin", "nv_data.bin.md5"


should I be worried if those arent there?
I did restart my phone

I don't know. You can always try it. First go into recovery and make a backup so you can restore it later if you want to. Have you tried the Darkside cache wipe?

Before you try another rom, try this gingerbread radio.

Also, the files we can't find may be because that guide is for the I9100 phone (the GS2 International)
 
This might be the perfect thread for someone in my shoes.
So i am getting null/null when I type that into the dialer, here is the things I have tried:
HC-kTool: Didnt work
GSII_Repair didnt work
Manual repairs with hex editor didnt work,
Flashing the Gingerbread Radios didnt work
Trying Darkside Cache now....
What I have been reading is that I might have to assign a generic IMEI, but i dont know how to do that, and google has failed me on it
 
Didnt fix my issue, its not boot looping with this stock image though, which i guess is good..... still trying to even just get this generic imei in place
