[Q] Galaxy i9003 IMEI number lost... no recovery? - Samsung Galaxy SL i9003

Hi and hello,
my first post in this great forum.
I (and my family ) own a SGS3 (running on null_19.1), an LG-P990 (root with Custom Rom) and an Samsung Galaxy S GT-i9003 (1&1 - Germany).
I have a big Problem with the Galaxy S:
I lost the IMEI (Phone is not recognizing SIM, Baseband "unknown" > my fault ). I read and googled a lot about this Problem, I have no Backup (shame on me).
I tried a lot of solved Problems (flashing, EFS - Professional, Heimdall, Galaxy S Unlocker,....), but nothing worked.
Current Situation:
Samsung Galaxy GT-I9003
Android 2.3.4 XXKPE with Root
Baseband unknown
IMEI unknown
Tried a SIM - Card: not recognized
IS there any Solution for this WITHOUT connecting the Samsung-Service?
If not, will it solve an USB-Jig?
Thanks a lot for your answers!
Greetings,
Bibaboris

have a try to flash the default efs.tar for i9003 as PDA, it will give you fake IMEI but atleast u can now use ur phone for txting.

same problem here its almost 4 months need a solution

I had the same problem, i went to the samsung store and they said my motherboard needs to be replaced which will take 5400 rs. So i went to another mobile service shop and he did it for 700 rs. There is no other solution to this unless you know how to get change the .bin files.
Hope this helps.

1, Root your phone - there are several methods to do this.
2, Install root explorer or Estrongs file explorer and copy /efs dir to your sdcard - this will copy the files.
and flash this by odin . (tar file on attach)

[I9003][ROM] DDKF1 (Latest Stock 2.2 India) (Build: Wed Jun 1)

Here's the latest Stock Froyo ROM for Indian SL users. I pulled it through Kies.
It is a maintenance update AFAIK (to repair the crashing of Settings while uninstalling any app). There maybe other improvements but I didn't notice any.

It wasn't better then xxkb3 thats why i said its smoother than ddkb2
Sent from my GT-I9003 using XDA App
It is more or less equivalent to XXKB3 in usability, here are few things I noticed as compared to DDKB2:
1. GPS is way better (Got an instant lock on 3 Sat using Sygic)
2. Boot/Shutdown time is less
3. Battery backup is better (but not better than KB3)
4. No more crashing of process.com.android.settings while uninstalling apps
5. Relatively smooth transitions
6. More free space (18MB) in system partition than XXKB3 (11.8MB)
Formatted internal SD and installed this update via Kies. Let's see how it goes...
Any idea when we might have an official gingerbread update?

First of all download XXKB3
Use the link for flashing procedure
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1004622
1)Flash XXKB3 twice with the pit file.
2)then flash DDKF1 since its a single file you need to flash it in PDA( no need to use pit file)
3) connect to kies, if it says device cannot be updated
4) flash DDKF1 again
5) now kies should say latest version
Note: hard reset after every flash that is dial *2767*3855# once you reach the homescreen

IF you have ddkf1 as single files, put it as pda in ODIN and flash. This is how i do to get back from kph. In case you get bootloop, go to recovery, wipe cache and data.

its not a small problem mate... its a life threatning problem,,, A little piece of advice... return it to the person you took from because the chances to recover IMEI are very slim and should proceed on your own risk and then and only then I will redirect you to another method which is a bit complicated.. choice is yours

Unless the gut who gave it to you have the EFS folder backed up. Suggestion: RTS (Return To Sender), obviously he forgot what Dhiru said before flash Alpha 4:'Backed up your EFS folder just in case you lost your IMEI'. Its almost impossible to lost your IMEI on stock unless you deleted the EFS folder, which is a very stupid move, LoL.

since you did not provide much information,
you can go into recovery mode (if you can)
You can buy a JIG from ebay or make your own. there are tutorials about it. all you need is 1 usb cable to sacrifice and 3 100K resistors.
okay,,this phone cannot boot in download mode..as no download mode is detected.

beside finding a service centre.anymore suggestions?
did you try recovery from firmware
Go to settings, power and turn the fastboot option off.
Then you should be able to go to bootloader using the power+vol thing
Also, you could go to developer, in settings, and enable the usb debug stuff
then try adb reboot bootloader
you can also search google for how to unlock bootloader you will get some ideas.
already tried..but stiil the same..when i get this phone.this phone is pre rooted.i cant even install cwm in it..i can only use stock recovery?

A note 2 clone? There's no development support so hope there's a service centre for clones.. Good luck.
If u are in stock recovery put the philz kernal+cwm match to your rom in the ext sd card and then choos the option update from the from sd card u will find philz + kernal zip select it.
It will help u I think

Take it to a service centre which offers Jtag. That is your only chance to get it working again. Flashing kernels wont do anything if your bootloader is messed up.

You can not flash any ROMs if your bootloader is messed up meaning it won't load any kernels and let alone a ROM. Recoveries are parts of the kernel or the TOM but since you can't use any of those you won't be able to use a recovery. I'm sorry but seems like you've hard bricked your phone, making it as useful as a paperweight.
for the bootloader part..i did not break..it come with this intact..

Nice one, will be helpful for noobies
Why is 4.1+ needed in this case?
Good job.
However doing this with Odin is much easier. Odin does the same.
Also Odin does not require installation like Kies and very less disk space.
And some devices like Galaxy y GT-S5360 are not supported by Kies.
It is not only for 4.1+
I used this 1-2 months back on my SGS+ I9001 to install Android 2.3.6 from 2.3.4
Anyway, keep it up!
this method does not apply for all devices
some do not support firmware upgrade and initialization like gt-n8000
yep

yes u are right... my GT-i9505 doesn,.t support initialisation... my device is already official but i want to make kies updates again...
1 silly question. will this method can be apply to old samsung device? i have samsung galaxy SL (gt-i9003) with CM11. thanks in advance
'GT-I9500' does not support initializing
iNITIALIZING MY DEVICE BREAKS ALL NETWORK CONNECTIVITY.IN MY CASE,
FOR EXAMPLE IF I WERE TO ENTER THE PRODUCT NAME AND SERIAL NUMBER OF MY SAMSUNG GALAXY S 111. KIES WOULD OFFER TO INITIALIZE MY PHONE WITH AN ANDROID 4,12 FIRMWARE THAT USES A MODEM/RADIO THAT USES AN EFS VERSION 1 PARTITION.
SINCE MY PHONEIS CURRENTLY ON ANDROID 4.3 AND CURRENTLY USES EFS VERSION 2 . GOING BACKWARDS TO THE OLD EFS STRUCTURE WILL CAUSE MY PHONE TO NO LONGER WORK AS A PHONE.ONLY WIFI WILL WORK
. WHEN I TRY KIES TELLS MR THAT IT WILL INITIALIZE WITH THE LATEST VERSION FOR MY PHONE PDA/MF6 /PHONE MA5/CSC MF1 (AFR) WHILE THAT FIRMWARE IS THE LATEST FOR (AFR) IT IS OLD AND ANY MODEM FOR GT-I9300 THAT PRECEEDED THE MG4 MODEM WILL NOT WORK UNLESS THE EFS FOLDER WAS BACKED UP AND THEN RESTORED AFTER REVERTING TO THE OLD EFS STRUCTURE.
THIS UNFORTUNATELY MAKES USING KIES TO INITIALIZE MY PHONE NOT AN OPTION.
Thx for this guide!
ML1 has a KNOX bootloader. You are doomed Nice guide but I prefer the old school Odin way!

Will this work for my AT&T I337 Stock MK2 Locked Boot loader ROM. I Followed the steps and it's telling me that it will restore to MDL ROM. Don't want to get that firmware upgrade error message. Thanks in advance
So I have an ace II ( Novathor phone like s3 Mini ) and I'm on Kitkat custom rom now.
Do you think this will work to come back to 4.1.2 official?

I dont hav experience with locked boot loaders and no idea about that. better i think you should accept that restore to MDL ROM i hope, because this method will restore to official stock like that comes from Samsung.
Question
Is there a way to determine what firmware is it installing?

Pretty sure that transferring IMEI from one device to another is against the law too also it can brick device also You just cant simply use someone's else efs backup EFS partition on your phone is made ONLY FOR YOUR PHONE.
Bro don't just misguide anyone with all this if they brick their device do u take the responsibility for that so just dont do all these weird things n dont lead a massacre to take place because of this its illegal n against xda rules so take it down
