[SOLVED] Vanished IMIE number - Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)

After flashing final fixed VB i have noticed that when i look up phone info at the IMIE number it reads as000000000000000 and IMEI SV is05. Not sure if it is from this rom because i have flashed multiple roms and of course i have always done major cleaning before flashing but this is the first time that i have needed to look up the IMEI number.

Any nandroid backups?

no just use titanium for apps and data

There is a guide in GS4G section. Nobody is going to hold your hand and walk you through something that has already been laid out step by step

Good luck. Without a backup there aren't many easy options. Most of the options you do have seem to be luck of the draw attempting the many theories to fix it. If you do, however get lucky, backup your damn efs folder.
Did you use SGS Kernel Flasher by chance? I think that might make a backup of the files you need... or I am talking out of my ass.

I backed up my sd card on computer before i even rooted but no nandriod backup. Ill give the thread a read and thanks.

Try taking out the battery for 10 minutes first.

Hell... hold the power button down as Thomas explained in the gremlin thread to clear whatever it was we are clearing. Hmmm.... a light bulb just went off - I suppose that is why it resets the IMEI for some and fixes it.

I tried the gremlin fix with no luck where exactly can i find this efs folder

That is the backup you needed to make before doing anything to your phone. Try the taking out your battery for 15 mins and holding down the power button for 15 seconds. It has worked for some.
Also try flashing back to stock froyo and see if kies mini will let you upgrade. Make sure you aren't rooted when you use kies.
Is your phone making/receiving calls?

I have tried battery removal gremlin fix and yes my phone still works but it is causing my qik account to not be validated. I wiil try the kies method next. I made a backup of sd card on computer before flash but cant locate efs folder anywhere

Efs is a system folder. It is already corrupt. Which happens and now you know you need to back it up.

solved please close

Lost IMEI while off over night?

Hi all! I quiet annoyed with all this (especially cause I am using my Defy instead)..
Two days ago before sleep I turned the mobile off (NS i9200), and when I woke up, turned on again.. For my surprise, no signal.. Rebooted, and nothing..
Since I upgraded from GB to ICS that has not happened, I was using Nexus Beam for about 2 weeks and all was fine..
And when I try to see my IMEI, shows up de generic one, 00499...

N nothing helped..
I also reverted to the stock ROM, locked and unlocked the bootloader (so in that way ALL date and partitions were going to be wiped), and rooted again..
And I have done the process also using ICS and GB 2.3.3..
Any ideas?
Many many thanks..
EDIT
I got a backup of EFS that I found in a folder "efs_autobackup", called by "efs-backup.tar.gz", that has been created Sat 24 Sep 2011..
So why not put the efs backup folder back into place, and rename it EFS? ...

I think you might need to replace the efs files, but also delete three files in that folder. Can't remember which ones, but it's in window7's radio thread in the development section.

First thing you need to do is take a while to read and learn about what you are doing before you make things worse. There is no avoiding this. You shouldn't do anything if you don't know what it is you are doing or what people are telling you to do to fix whatever happened because you didn't know what you were doing. It seems to me an answer or possible solution was just posted for you.

"I don't know or understand how" isn't an excuse when the answer was handed to you. It is up to you to take the advice or not.

For those who have no baseband and null Imei on their i997...

Im not sure were to put this so called tutorial so mods feel free to move it to were it belongs if its not supposed to be here. I was having a big issue with my Samsung i997 thats was showing no baseband on settings, No imei null/null and of course didnt have any signal. I started a couple threads about things related to that. No luck, until a member called Truckerglenn pointed me to a efs .tar file he had made that fixed his phone.
So before i start, credit for the efs file goes to Truckerglenn i had nothing to do with that. Then, i want to make this clear, This worked on my i997, it doesnt mean it could work on other phones but for some reason i think it will. I messed up mine on purpose a couple times after i solve it just to see if it was a real solution or just luck. It worked every single time like a charm. With that said, i got to make clear i didnt have a copy of my original efs file. I have deleted the efs file a couple times also. So i think none of you could mess a phone worst than i did, and i still managed to bring it back to life using this method.... So lets talk about what i did:
First download Truckerglenns efs .tar file located here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1438113
In my case i used the infuse unbrick ODIN file so i dont know if it works with any other firmware or not.
Open the ODIN file located on the infuse unbrick files and click efs clear, yes i know it sounds very risky and people have made clear that is not recommended but hey, you cant mess up your phone worst than you already have so. Anyways, put the infuse ODIN files were they belong, pit, pda and phone. Then here comes the tricky part, i used the Truckerglenn file in the csc box to flash it with the unbrick files.
Click start and the phone will flash the stock Froyo for the i997, wait until the flashing ends. Then when the phone reboots into recovery before hitting reboot go to wipe data/factory reset and click it. Then you can hit reboot phone and if youre lucky enough you will have your signal, restored imei number and baseband version.
Like i said this worked for me and i cant asure you it will work for you. But after all those weeks i spent dealing with this without success and having deleted efs many times and messing the phone that much, i didnt have anything to lose. Also thank Truckerglenn for his efs if this work on your phone, after all im just giving you an idea on how i made it work on mine but i didnt create a file or anything i just flashed it the way i just told you. Good luck guys and keep up the good work!
this happens to me as well, but flashing an efs didn't help me. any other ideas?
Step by step??

So, I am having same problem as u were. One thing that I want to make sure is do i clear efs and then flash ?? or just click the box on the efs clear and put everything and flash it??
So here is first option - You check on the clear efs box and then click "start". After it's finished, put other files and click "start" button again.
Here is second option - You check on the clear efs box then put all files and click "start" button and done.
which one is correct way to do this process??

Thanks!
OMFG...I bricked my Infuse a while back and I thought all hope was lost. I have bought a Note since then but I wanted to sell it and wait for the Note2 while I could still get a pretty penny for it.
This worked like a champ.
I basically followed your instructions using the Unbrick package here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=27286083#post27286083
I also checked the EFS clear checkbox. I didn't have to factory reset from recovery either. It just rebooted and I popped in my SIM and it worked!
So I haven't gotten to the stage where I do not have signal... but do plan on moving my infuse from 4.0.4 to 4.1.1. Through this process, it has been noted that you could lose efs. So before I tried to install the rom, I backed up my efs through root explorer. Within this app, all I did was copy my whole efs file and pasted it to my SD card. After this, should my efs be fully backed up? And if I were to install jb and WERE to lose signal, how would I go about restoring it? My efs is on my internal storage..

@TokyoLee
It would be best if you informed us of the upgrade path you took.
Slim ROMs (I am assuming you are trying to flash a JB 4.2.2) are known to cause loss of IMEI if flashed directly from ICS. Best solution would be to flash a CM10 and then a CM10.1 before flashing SlimBean. I have followed this path and have had no problems although I have gone on to Rootbox 4.2.2.
scott.hart.bti's Unofficial CM10.1 post has instructions for the proper upgrade path, see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28842232&postcount=1
andros11's "[Guide] How to Flash Jellybean" here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1878458
is an essential and important read to avoid any IMEI snafus.
Also, and this important since almost every JB ROM thread mentions it at one point or another: REMOVE your external micro-SD card from the device before flashing a JB ROM.
Hope this helps.

You may have to start fresh from GB [or Froyo]. That would be the best recommendation.

Unless you have your EFS backed up which you can flash via ODIN or Heimdall it is impossible to get tour IMEI back.
Best is to go all the way back to GB.

Do not even think about doing such a silly thing. This is an Infuse specific efs. You cannot flash it to the I-9000 or I-9100, for example. The partitions are different on different Samsung phones, they are not necessarily interchangeable.
Unless there are clear instructions available, you could end up with a very expensive brick.

Help, deleted nv_data.bin

I was helping a friend to unlock his phone, and I accidentally delete nv_data.bin and dont have a backup. I know the original imei, is therea way to regenerate the imei? If I dont have backup. Please if somebody know i need help
Try one clicking back to stock
ok, i will download in my house, but, i was reading that one clicking dont touch the efs partition, and that file was there
Was the phone on gingerbread or ICS/JB? If it wasn't on gingerbread (Assuming it was a rom not based on CM7) you'll be able to restore the files by using a one click
the rom is in 2.2.1. Thats ok? I download T959VUVKJ6_STOCK-UVKJ6-One-Click.
So, if I use it, this will restore the nv_data.bin? I ask before doing anything because i have fear of make the this worse

No it won't. lol The OP is already on a BML partition structure. That trick only works if you loose it switching over to MTD.
Sorry OP your IMEI is gone and short of some fancy hex editing their is no way to get it back. Your phone will still work with zeros but data might be an issue. If you wanna try the hex edit way look in the dev thread for OLD unlock threads. Good luck.
So, i will have issue with 3g data or something like that?
I see a way that i can input the imei with a z3x box i think, and in my city there is someone with that box, that can work?
i search and only found: ;

Now I have no imei, no data, no WiFi... In addition my files don't show the files on my phone anymore I only can see them in my recovery, all is still there. My problem is I don't have an extra efs backup only two ROM backups. First I would have liked to know how I can rescue my data? Cause its not showing on booted phone and because of that also not on computer via USB. Is there a proper way to save and what can I do to maybe save my phone. I flashed ROM for years on many different devices and something like that never happened before any help appreciated thanks!!!

OK saw this but my problem is I can't copy anything on my phone. Tried via USB and adb I can't get this file on my phone... Is there another possibility?
And its very strange that computer doesn't show files but my recovery does. And I have installed all drivers
Edit: ok found a way^^ through twrp recovery I could mount it to show on my computer so now will try

You can use TWRP to drag and drop files as MTP is a feature in TWRP now.

I firstly flashed the coloros ROM then flashed back to cm11s and then followed the instructions of this brickloop thread you posted. That's the way I got my imei back and a fully working device. Hope this may help.

There is no reason for you to lose IMEI while rooting...
