Hello guys,
I installed CM9 on my i9003 and it worked fine. But after some time, my brother installed a GB rom. From that point, the phone is not showing IMEI and I was not able to use it. efs was not backed up. I tried flashing with XXKPQ GB, expecting that the IMEI will restore but it is useless.
Is there any way to restore the IMEI. Please help me.

If you IMEI not backuped I think you totaly lost it. Only one think you can do: try to ask somebody give you him EFS backup and put it to you phone and you're get another IMEI.
Warring: look out for backup are maked not at the same contry as you located!
Also remember: this things (changing IMEI) are not legal.

But if I true undestend: we can restore to phone backup from another phone? And this things just change IMEI.
check dhiru1602 thread about efs backup and restore, you will find how to get fake imei (0049XXXXXXXXXXX) this is better than nothing.
Some users reported that they couldn't give the phone another phone's imei.

There should be a backup of the EFS on your external sd card, this backup is always made when flashing CM. Check your external and internal sd for a folder called backup, efs, or something like that.
/sdcard/backup/efs here is where your efs backup should be, if you are lucky you will find it there.

thanks for the help.
I don't have a backup of efs on my mem card. I should look for someone's efs backup.

I heard that restoring someone IMEI backup is risky (and illegal) so be careful.
Having fake IMEI si like having a real IMEI so check dhiru1602 thread to know how to get fake IMEI on your phone.

hello everyone..
a couple of days earlier i had flashed a CM 10.1 JB rom for i9003
and everything was working well... kudos to developers.
but then the phone turned itself off automatically and when i rebooted it it showed me no network..
further checking in about phone i saw there was no imei and no baseband and no service obviously
further after a bit research on xda i found out somehow my efs folder got corrupted...
i have a backup of that folder on my pc.. this backup was of a month ago when phone was working fine..
and i tried the possible ways to replace the efs folder with root explorer etc.. nothing turned up.
i really need help regarding restoring that efs folder..
thank you.

Just flash back to stock rom in this sequence. first flash xxkpe (with .pit file) then ddlf2. Many times IMEI gets restore just by flashing stock rom.

Do this then u'll have 049 imei. Then go to dhiru's thread and flash the zip which deletes your efs and then flash the other one which brings your backup to efs folder then u'll be good to go

Nobody would do it including me cuz EFS Folder has the most important info for your phone which is imei and copying is an illegal action. You may try to find efs.rar from google

As fast as I now everyphone has different efs flashing different efs might payment lyrics brick your phone

Hi
How would this help if your efs is corrupt?, or does it fix it when you restore?

Hi Xda Team!
I have A Galaxy s6 G920F and i need a EFS backup !
Thank You all !
Are you saying you need to make an EFS backup, or you want someone else's backup?
I'd advise against anyone giving you their backup, as it contains their IMEI.

Do you want an EFS backup or you ask how to make one? If you want an EFS backup it is impossible. The EFS partition is unique for every device. But if you want to make a backup your best bet is with TWRP.

Can you boot to system? I mean can you get to the OS. If so, according to a friend of mine a Xposed module called "IMEI Changer Pro" works.
