Does your imei starting with 49 or 0000 then you have an problem..

Problem solved or? Did you mean something else?
Next time make an backup from your efs with adb or root explorer..

Could you give us tutorial in q&a section? That would be nice just on case, when someone start searching for answer probably will find this thread.

i found an old nandroid backup and i that restore my efs folder so im lucky

On my old phone GT-I9000 aka Galaxy S, to restore an imei you just needed to flahs any stock ROM via ODIN and that will restore your imei. Although I'm not sure if that the case with I9001. Never tried.

I flashed a lot of Stock ROMS to get my imei back ... no one will bring your emei back. Most problems with emei are caused that sometimes on custom roms the baseband is missing. just flash a modem than anf basebabd and emei will be there.
flashing stock is doing the same, it flashes basebend and thats the only thing.
restoring your imei by flashing stock doesn't work!

[Q] Does Samsung track my IMEI if they know I am rooted?

Dear all,
I got my Galaxy S2 about a year ago and first thing I did was rooting it.
After several months my phone broke, I sent it to Samsung but I had forgotten it was rooted.
So they sent it back and said they wont repair it because its rooted. So I went home and unrooted him,
and if I send him back can they tell if it WAS rooted? (Like check the IMEI or somthing?)
Thanks all,
MrThori

After unrooting the phone no one can tell if the phone was rooted or not. And rooting has nothing related to imei or any other number so they can't tell. If they saved your phone info when it was rooted maybe then they can

Samsung Galaxy tab GT-P6200 - Compatible ROMs

Hi, i wanted to know if there is some way i can flash a Rom onto my Galaxy tab GT-P6200 which will make my device id show as a phone rather than a Tablet.
The reason for this is displayed here in another topic i posted: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2426142
Any help would be appriciated!

You may try the latest 4.1.2 as it is phablet based. But i doubt your problem will be resolved because carriers connect your device's IMEI no.to their service and IMEI no will always tell them it is a TABLET!!!. Changing IMEI no. is illegal.

[Q] Where can I go to fix my SIII in London? efs/imei problem

Hi Guys..
I've tried all methods but I can't fix my SIII international version. Basically flashed incorrectly without saving the efs folder.
Anyway.. I've taken in to a few shops but none can fix it. I need a shop which is more knowledgable about this.
Can anyone recommend somewhere to take my phone in?
Many thanks

Did you use qpst? I erased my imei while flashing a cm Rom and qpst restored it. It's not hard at all. Remember to do a factory reset afterwards it doesn't mention that in the instructions.

If you have nandroid backup of your stock rom then just restore it..i think this works.. becouse i solved my imei problem from this method..

Ive tried QPST and a nandroid backup of stock rom. None can restore the efs folder.

Not sure why qpst didn't work it. Are you sure you did it properly?
