Hi all
I bought a galaxy s 4g from ebay usa, shipped it to my friends place in new jersey who delivered it to me in india.
Later I found out that the phone has corrupted imei due to which I cant register it to any network here in india. I tried searching for recovering the imei but all in vain. So any of u ever been to this situation and come out of it, plz share what method u used to recover it.
And if anyone one know any solution plz share it.
Thanks

There is another thread around here starring a few solutions. I think the one that works for most is to pull the battery for ten minutes or more.

what happened to it to get it that way?
I have the same problem no way of fixing it to my knowledge I guess ill have to send it under warranty no other choice

Did you try to unlock it with a program? Cause there is a thread that addresses this that talks about fixing the "null/null" problem. Even if it is not the same problem, try their fix cause it supposedly fixes the imei

What were you doing when this happened.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
Phone will not power on and will have blank screen. PC will detect the phone in QPST mode
Yea it hard bricked. From my knowledge there is no fix.
We're you messing with Odin when this happened. What was the last thing you were doing with it working?

It seems like there have been a disproportionate amount of people running into this problem...it makes me nervous.

Especially when, op's are so strangely adverse to telling us how it happened.
It's ok ro tell us if u were doing something stupid. We all do stupid stuff to these devices at some point or another, you now have the ability to tell us @ least 1 thing NOT to do.
That's why this works...

I'm guessing he clicked something in ODIN he shouldn't have.
I was trying to install SKY ice cream ROM and was following - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21507135#post21507135
When i run odin it just run into errors and reboot was blank screen... i don't know what happen... i have done this before many times but this was my bad luck i guess
Was your battery low when you did this?
Have you tried pulling the battery for a few minutes?
I tried all option no luck... Ordered USB jig to see if that helps... other option is to get bin file and flash using QPST... I think someone who knows and are expert need to extract the bin file from the phone using QPST.
Jig won't work. I'm guessing you mucked something up in Odin.

any idea if i can charge my battery using the phone now... doesn't give me any indication of charging
You can get a charger on eBay for $4 shipped.
Cheap Chinese crap but it works for me and my cheap Chinese spare batteries.

If anyone knows how to get the device recognized as a COM port, I can take a shot at it. Got real familiar with QPST when I flashed an Epic over to Virgin Mobile.

Doesn't download mode do that? Excuse me if I'm wrong.
Edit: LOL not if your bricked it doesnt. Could we use a working skyrocket to get the correct files to fix a bricked one using QPST?

Download mode does, yes, but you can't read or write from QPST in it. You get a "Phone did not answer/respond/whatever" error back.
What I would say needs to be figured out first is how to get a non-brick and a bricked one recognized as a COM port. Really annoying, but QPST doesn't work otherwise...
Sorry for the question, but what exactly is QPST? I've never heard of that before.

Qualcomm Product Support Tools. It's a program used by Qualcomm to program Qualcomm chips in phones. Can flash/backup software, program the phone's service, check/change EEPROM settings, EFS settings, etc. It's free software, but I do NOT recommend looking through it and tweaking things if you don't know what you're doing... Quite a bit in there that's really easy to mess up.
Guys?
Yesterday I flashed newest version of freeGSM update 5 after that I lost my IMEI I started reading and unfortunately I did not back up my EFS folder now I cannot find my.. Nav_data file which I'm guessing I need to restore.... Please help I have about a month with the phone..

Tried this a few days ago, worked well. Sucks that this phone doesn't operate on many networks in Canada.

Hm, Anyone know how I can input my SIM Unlock Code? I tried putting an invalid SIM (Rogers SIM and a Bell SIM) but I can't get to the SIM Unlock page. I also tried the 2945#*999# But it gets stuck at USSD Code running on the WIND Sim card and doesn't work on any other SIM.
Are you running a stock ROM? I did it with mine using the special menu, but I had to flash the stock ROM in order to do it.

Hi G2xer,
Thanks for sharing this great site. I am a Canadian Wind user. By following the instruction, I am able to get an unlock code to unlock my phone.
For all the Wind user out there,
If you are on CM7 based rom, you will need to restore back to stock rom first. Otherwise, you will not be able to get to the unlock screen.
Thanks,
Hi all,
Works great as advertised. Thanks to the OP for sharing this gem.

If you report a missing phone to your carrier along with the imei they can disable the phone..

Could be a scam to get IMEI numbers to clone phones/enable activation of stolen phones.

My phone book search become case sensitive.
For example if I have a phone book entry as "David Paul", then to locate the same I have to put first or last name in search window with the same format (D or P Capital). If I put "david" or "paul" in search window then it doesn't work.
Few days back there was no such problem.
Can any body guide me, how to correct this...
Thanks in advance.

Maybe try looking at the settings and see if you can find something there?
What app do you use ?
Thanks friends.
I have gone thru the settings, but nothing there related to my issue.
I am using Samsung Google Nexus S 4G, rooted, using Custom ROM of Slimbean with OS 4.2.2, using stock app only for Contacts.

So then try extracting the contacts app from an older version of the ROM found within the zip in the system then app folder, it might be called secContacts.apk. Move it into the /system/app directory of your current ROM and it might work. If not, tell me.

Actually in the process of fixing this small issue I might have mis-handled few system files and my mobile had stopped working, network signals had completely vanished and I am not able to use my phone for calls as well as texts.
Then some body had suggested Odin Restore, which is something difficult for me, but while searching the remedy I got a ROM in xda only, after flashing the same, my phone got started and the contact search issue has also resolved.
In have attached the image of flashed ROM.
