My imei no got lost while restoring backup using cwm..... i looked around the forum and the ".nv_data" method will not do because my efs folder has a file named "essiv" only and nothing else.....
if someone would confirm what files are contained in thier efs folder and mail it to me also i'll be grateful......
I don't think the 'efs folder' of one device can be used with other devices as it contains the device's IMEI number.
Could you elaborate a bit as to what did you do that resulted in the loss of your IMEI number ? It would help others avoid it in future.
Well.... i restored the same backup file couple of times 'coz i was trying to flash a new theme...btw i am on stock indian 2.3.5......
the files in efs folder can be edited using hex editor (read somewhere in the s2 forum...i don't remeber which thread) so the imei no. in that file can be modified...
I've tried to restore the EFS of my girlfriend's phone. Time ago, i've made a backup of efs folder by tar command. I've a file called efs-backup.tar.gz. The problem is that when i flash blank file EFS with odin to restore EFS partition and i copy all file in my efs folder with tar command (removing md5 file) the smartphone shows me that it hasn't an IMEI or a baseband. The phone shows only the row IMEI with no number and no null string. I've found this thread http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f634/riff-jtag-how-repair-samsung-baseband-imei-2-a-1661209/ when users says that I need a JTAG RIFF box to restore with the files in the thread. Anyone knows an other solution? I've tried also with my i9003 efs with no success.
thank you in advance for help.
Try convert you tar.gz backup to odin flashable tar, than flash with odin3 ver 1.85 in pda

Using any other efs than the original is illegal but you can use your phone as a ipod

Ok for friends who have completely corrupted EFS folder then the phone is "without imei" just write this file via ODIN in PDA

This file restores EFS with a standard imei 004999010640000 then proceed to restore your imei staff with the method you prefer.
I used Z3X.

Thank you., I got this file with Flash Odin software, but unfortunately the problem is not resolved or you have any suggestions?
After flashing the above file, you need to restore your own imei number, to get the network working. Check the bill for the phone, or the box it came in to find your imei number.
Ok my imei peinted in phone box and i have this number.How to restore this imei number??
Use Z3X. Search here in xda forum for more details.
