Hey guys! I'm sorry if this is an annoying question. I have a Samsung Galaxy SL i9003.
Not to make it too long i'll summarize my problem.
I had lost my imei once and i was able to get it back with 9 steps to get your imei back thread but now it doesn't work. When i dial *#06# it's BLANK. No Numbers or 0049 just IMEI and okay button. I have a backup but copying it back to Efs didn't work. I dont have an "insane chip" It's normal as brickbug checker app says. I went to a phone shop they couldn't fix my problem with z3x and stuff like that. Samsung service center wanted 175$ for motherboard replacement so i refused that it's too much for a 2 year old device. So yeah, is there any way for me to take it back to normal? 'Cuz i can't afford a new phone and they're all very expensive in Turkey 'cuz of dumb taxes Turkey has.
Hope to find a solution. Peace out!
ps. If this is an emmc problem is there any way to do some repartition to it?
Ps. Today i've flashed DDLF2 and i saw that it rebooted to recovery and there was an error which says "Cannot mount /efs" I hope you guys can give me some tips to solve this..

HI GUYS...
I UNLOCKED MY SAMSUNG GALAXY INFUSE AS USUAL, AND ITS OK "UNLOCKED"...
BUT WHEN I INSERT MY SIM CARD IT WORKED FOR FEW MINUTES, AFTER THAT IT SAYS NO SERVICE AND THERE IS NO SIGNAL AT ALL... BUT SOMETIME I GOT SIGNALS BUT WITHOUT REGISTERED NETWORK.
NOTE:
MABY THE PROBLEM FROM THE IMEI NUMBER, BECAUSE I GOT IT WRONG , IT IS LIKE IN THE ATTACHMENT.
PLEASE GUYS HELP ME ....
Yep, a borked imei number will not allow you to connect to your cellular network...
I'm guessing that your efs folder wasn't backed up... you can try this...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=881162
I haven't tried this but good luck.
thank you brassguy...
but does this work for infuse 4G ?
In addition, I read that we can change the IMEI number using the ADB, or is there another way to do this?
Also, what about the GSII_repair app, can I use it for my phone (infuse 4G)?
i had this problem last night where i flashed a rom. i return it to stock and imei showed up.
was having a imei" unknown error" and i backed up now on my computer.
ps ebay sales unlock service for 0.99$ if you didn't buy the code and just hacked it with hex or whatever
mine is already unlocked and it's permanent
i do travel over seas alot
But i returned mine to stock many times but the imei number still like this.
I did no get you in the third line???

Hello Xda Developers Users.
I have been searching for a solution to me problem for like 4 days non-stop .
Here is my problem .
I have a Samsung Note 2 (GT-N7100 Model) and It has the latest Stock firmware (Rooted + Disabled KNOX).
Basicly I lost the EFS Folder/Partion , and I have no way of retreiveing my backup again , The current IMEI is invalid which is 0499... etc , I have Signal to the Network Provider but I have no means to call neither use SIM CARD functions ..etc .
Anyway , I have Read - tried all the possible solutions on the internet like :-
1 - flashed different Stock roms , no result IMEI still 0049 ... etc .
2 - flashes different modems still no result .
3 - tried EFS professional , still IMEI 0049 with no help.
Yes , i know , I'm stupid sorry guys this is my first time doing this and the device is out of warranty time anyway.
and if you are thinking about going to a repair shop to fix them in my country it's gonna take some big cash .
Also , I have thought about a solution , why doesn't the members who have the same Device model upload their backup for me ? and then problem solved ? right.
Or a slight idea on how to change the invalid IMEI number to the real one , behind the battery.
I know that Changing IMEI number might be illegal but it isn't in my country and I'm holding the responsibility of my actions towards fixing my IMEI , I'll not use it in any illegal way ofc.
Please I'm really trying to fix my IMEI number to the correct one and There is currently 1 solution that i couldn't try even if i could.
It's Fixing the IMEI with Z3X box which is really stupid , because i won't pay 200$ to fix a simple IMEI fix.
And If there is no way to fix that for free , where do i look online to fix it for some cash.
Thanks for reading
Best Regards
Guys , I have found some solutions regarding using Z3X Box or HWK Tornado Box ..etc
But these boxes are for fixing multi devices and require a fortune .
I just want to fix 1 simple device ? Why would it cost 200$ for that.
I mean , why in the world isn't there a samsung utilities and tools for free that has the basic functionality of these boxes ? WTF .

Have you seen this? [Info] EFS/Lost IMEI - Must to read for every Newbies. by dr.ketan
Questions about this device should be posted in Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
Bought a new S6 from Ebay that had been opened up to all networks. Discovered it was rooted which I didn't want so I flashed it with a stock Vodafone ROM. The phone worked fine for about 10 days then all of a sudden I got the message 'not registered on network' when I try to make call. It turns out that the IMEI number has changed. Does anyone know whether this type of problem can be sorted out?
Flash back to stock via odin.

IMEI Corrupted
I'm going to use a Vodafone ROM as this phone was originally on Vodafone before the seller had it opened up to all networks. THE ROM is G920FXXU1AOCZ_G920FVFG1AOC4_G920FXXU1AOCW_HOME.tar.md5. Does this sound like the right one? Sorry for all the questions - I'm new to this. The other thing worth mentioning is the IMEI at the moment is 350000000000006. Where could this have come from? Any ideas? It's weird because the original IMEI was in tact for about 10 days before it changed to the one above. Any help at all would be appreciated

Corrupt imei is known issue when flashing and rooted. That's why firdt thing you do when rooting, is you backup your stock rom together with efs folder. Idk which is your stock rom, you have to do some research, download that rom and use odin to go back to stock. You will lose everything you got on the phone btw so save any pictures or music.

Thanks for that. The problem I have is that there's no backup of the EFS folder or the stock ROM. Without these, is there any way of sorting this out or is the phone dead? Cheers
hi
i have same problem did you fix that if yes please help me
Bring S6 back to Samsung for repair
My guess is the phone you bought was stolen and after 10 days it got blacklisted.
Or the seller claimed he lost his phone to insurance company, sold it you, got a new one on insurance, and then after the 10 days the "lost" phone (your phone) got blacklisted.

but i checked IMEI is clean
Oh right, that's weird then! I guess efs partition could have just randomly corrupted.

I have the exact same problem, bro. All of the sudden my IMEI changed to 350000000000006 and I'm not able to register on my network. Did you manage to fix this? Please, let me know.
The same story, any help?
How I can fix this? Please help
Get Chimera tool and you should be able to fix it no problem
Did you manage to fix?
My baseband shows as attached after installing vador rom so I'm confused
If you didn't formatted/wipe the efs/nvbackup, there's a chance you can retrieve your imei.
But if it doesn't, the only way is to bring it up to Samsung or a good phone technicians to repair or get you a new branded IMEI for your phone. Mine was fixed by a technician using Octopus box tool.
You may try my method, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63693480&postcount=28

Hi guys, does anyone know someone who can repair Galaxy S6 IMEI remotely, for $20? I'm just a student and don't make much money and that's all I have left in my PayPal account. I need to rewrite my original IMEI because it was wiped by the malicious ROM Tonylel posted which erases EFS.
