Can you please share links to download the files you have mentioned?
Update: I flashed the MODEM_I9003XXKB3_REV_00_CL928844.tar.md5 file through Odin but no luck.
I am on CM11 20131121.
to find the firmware related to your i9003 visit this page sampro dot pl
I had to use this site because in the sammobile site it appears to have only the PDA file.
so it only presents you a zip file that contains only the PDA:
PDA: I9003BGMD1
CSC: I9003XECMA1
MODEM: I9003XXLJ1

if you need to know if you have these in your phone use this code in the dialer: *#1234#
pda i9003bgmd
phone:unknown
csc: i9003xecma1
because my phone has the phone (modem file) unknown i had to flash it with Odin with the file i downloaded from sampro dot pl
Don't work

Is there any solution to the unknown baseband and blank IMEI problem?,...I've tried some suggested method on xda but the problem still persists...pls help!
try to flash the default efs.tar using odin it will give you fake IMEI and baseband will appear, if in case u haven't backup of ur EFS the only option is to go to service center with fake IMEI and its easy for them to repair the corrupted EFS..

You can try flashing the matching firmware via ODIN. If it doesn't help, you're probably in a bad position as I suppose you did not backup your EFS before rooting the phone.

Doesn't help as the EFS in "unique". You can't restore your own IMEI with youir friends backup. Best way is to get a local shop or internet shop that offers IMEI repair.

Thanks for ur suggestion.But whatever i know,there is no IMEI repair sollution for sm-n915f yet mainly octoplus box.If u have any idea about this pls pls and pls share with me.
Hi, I would like to help with restore of IMEI. The phone doesnt show right IMEI. I have complete backup from TWRP. Also have IMEI on the sticker and warranty card. Is there some way to restore it? Thank you for your advice.
Whats your model ?
It is SM-G920F.
Btw i tried to restore the backup but it will only boot back into recovery.
Downgrade your phone Nougat to Marsmallow. Download this firmware and flash with pit file use odin 3.12.5.
Samfirm Info:
Model: SM-G920F
Region: EVR
PDA: G920FXXS5DQE2
CSC: G920FEVR5DQA7
Phone: G920FXXU5DQB8
Pit File:
Odin Pit File tab select this file.
Ok, will try and let know.
Thank you very much.
Np man.
OK, done it, now saying
Device does not have DRK, please install DRK firt. Press any button...?
Restored 6.0.1 ? Flash process OK ?
Yea. Everything went ok.
Hmm okey. Lets Wipe data factory reset- and cache partition with stock recovery mode.
Reboot.
Nope, still booting only into recovery.
There is:
Supported API: 3
dm-verity verification failed...
Need to check DRK first
Hmm. u need a z3x or octopus box man. Your phone is pretty bad. I did my best : /
OK, thank you anyway.
Probably will go into service centre and pay for repair.
I suggest you get help from a phone technician instead of service. The cost of the service will be high.
I also tried octoplus and z3x, both saying
card not found. Do you know what to do with that?
my pc has win 10 - 64bit
Ok, found phone technician that can do that, in fact pretty cheap.
In the end thank you for you help, I really appreciate it.
Hello Guys, this forum is my last hope. I have a problem with my S7 (DBT Germany), I think after flashing an older stock rom and going back to newest, something happened that my phone doesn't detect any sim cards anymore. If I type *#06# , it only shows the SN Number, no IMEI. WIFI still works without problem, but I can not use my sim card anymore, so it's pretty useless now :crying:
The sim card works on another devices, so it's for sure a problem with my s7, I might have messed up something. What do you think is here the problem and how can I solve it? Any help is much appreciated, I really hope to fix this because my phone is only 2 weeks old.
I currently have the latest Firmware for DBT from updato, (December 14, 2017 for Android 7.0)
IMEI = unknown
SIM Card status: Not avaliable
Have you tried a stock ROM from sammobile.com? Updato and sammobile.com should have the same ROM but maybe there is a difference between the 2?
Did you confirm that the phone is running the latest modem?

I did not try sammobile because updato and sammobile were the same firmware. Sammobile does have a newer firmware from 28/01 but it says I need to join in order to download.
Is there a way I can fix a damaged/corrupted EFS ? My phone is pretty useless now without sim card detection
Sorry, I know of no way to fix imei issue if a combination of Odin and a stock ROM does not work. You may have to take it to a cell repair shop that can force flash the ROM and EFS using hardware like an octopus box: https://octopusbox.com/eng/features/models

You would need a way to recreate the contents of the folder. Unfortunately, I'm not sure how to create the contents.
Maybe this will help: https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/how-to/guide-how-to-fix-check-drk-imei-issues-t3379516

Hey, I have finally found the solution and my sim card is working again :victory:
It really was just that the firmware was 1 version older.. I downloaded the latest DBT Firmware from samsung-updates (Build Date: 15/01/2018)
Put Bootloader to BL , AP to AP , CP to CP , CSC (not Home_CSC!) to CSC , flashed it and finally my IMEI etc. is back.
Thank you for taking your time trying to help me
Congratulations on your success
