Simple restore your backed up EFS folder or pay for a service repair .

Hello,
I've been looking around for a solution for this issue.
My friend tried to root him phone, and I have no idea what he did... now his baseband is gone... Baseband version unknown.
I tried to install a new xxpe and then ddlf2 still no connection.
I'll get him to JellyBam A4 same as my phone. is there any file(s) I can copy from my phone to his to make it alive again?
his IMEI from *#06# is blank.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
try this method..

since IMEI is blank, i think the only solution there is to go to service center and let them repair it..but, if u have backup the EFS folder which contains the important files then there's a 99% u can use the phone..flashing on different ROM wont make the problem to be solve since IMEI is blank, just like my phone with no IMEI, now it is just like IPOD touch..hehe
Well he didn't back anything up.. lol
What if I took my working EFS file from my phone to his, will that work?
will he get the same IMEI as me?
can I mod the file(s) to his number, which I have from under the battery slot?

you're thinking is good that you want to ask for his EFS but sadly it is not possible coz IMEI is a unique identifier for every phone just like a PRODUCT KEYS to every computer, if that detected that 2 IMEI was using, one will be blocked..that's what i think..
if we can mod IMEI then i think no one will be having problem if in case there's IMEI has been lost..right?

well, I know it is unique, and I do have his original IMEI.
and as far as I read it can be restored in case you already made a EFS backup.
so my phone has a working IMEI files... same phone, only diff numbers.. they have to be encrypted at some level, and we are talking about android here, probably not encrypted.. I Don't know.
guess it is a long shot... but maybe I can alter my numbers to his...
IMEI and product serial number, all the data is written under the battery slot.
I'm no developer just thinking out loud... lol, maybe someone can light up the way for me, if my idea makes any sense on any level.

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.

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.

As fast as I now everyphone has different efs flashing different efs might payment lyrics brick your phone
yes serial and imei would be different but layout surely would be the same, if we can revert original imie then there shodnt be a problem
