I was going to repair the imei only to find out the owner has already tried, and now the imei is not right. He tried converting Imei to meid. So what do I do now.

thanks.. but this is to backup and restore
i am looking for a repair for a non backed up EFS.
i didnt backup my EFS initianlly, and the EFS is corrupt and need to repair it.
otherwise, if it is possible, i am looking for someone please who has an SM-N915S who can backup their EFS for me and help me by adding my IMEI or whatever else is needed to get my phone working
2 weeks now, and no where to go. (my phone is from korea, so sending it would be a waste of time, since i cant reach anyone there anyways), so i read somewhere on the web that it can be fixed if someone has the same exact model, with a good EFS backup, then they can modify the files by changing the IMEI number stored in the backup and other stuff, and thats it.
Willing to pay to anyone who can help me

Actually I don't know how to do it either. I found out about that way after doing 3 days of research. I appreciate you offering to help but it's the how to make the changes. The efs backup is easy. Tons of apps can do that. But to edit some files and change the imei and mac address and stuff. Requires someone who has the tools and knows how to do it. I don't sadly. Wish I did.

If all else fails, search for a JTAG Riff Box owner. It can repair some hard bricked devices and I believe IMEI. If it is not yet compatible with your device, unable to repair IMEI or owner lacks knowledge, then Samsung is your only hope.

Nobody in their right mind should give you their device IMEI.
It's unique to the device and a way for the carrier and authorities to identify a device, particularly if it's been cloned, lost or stolen and possibility used for illegal purposes. Tampering with or modifying (unlike repairing) a device's IMEI is illegal.
I have only heard of one (ex) XDA member "Odia" being able to repair a corrupted IMEI. I think it was a Samsung Galaxy S2 or similar. He did it remotely via TeamViewer.
Repair is the only legal way and any other method should not be openly encouraged in these forums.
Best of luck.

Thanks. But I never asked anyone for imei. All what I was asking if anyone knows how to do and I would provide him the imei to modify their efs backup. So basically deleting their imei from their backup and putting mine. Not planning or wanting anyone's imei or anything regarding their phone. But thanks for the input.

Greetings,
Changing the IMEI is illegal in most countries. Therefore the discussion thereof is prohibited on XDA.

As far as I know only the police can track an IMEI number, this thread explains it a bit better

i got a used galaxy s5
but i found that the imei on the back behind the battery refers to G900H
and the one at the status or by dialing *#06* refers to G900F
Both the imei numbers are valid starting with 35 and dont start with 00 that mean efs not damaged
what is the original model of my phone ?
i checked it by antutu and its saying G900F
but maybe this because the app saw the status imei and displaying the spec for this imei ?
and i want to know what caused the imei to be changed
and the sticker on the phones is back is red . does that mean the phone dropped in water before and
repaired by changing the motherboard or circuit ?
i have 2 days warranty to get the phone back to the seller and restore all of money i paid so replay fast as you can please
thanks
i forget to mention this also the serial number is different
and the G900F got 4g network , the G900H got 3g Network
but its displaying lte in mobile networks preference
maybe someone flashed a G900F rom in G900H phone or what ?
It could mean that the mother board was replaced or that it is stolen and they changed the imei.

If it changed then there was something wrong with the rom as the imei is on the efs partition that shouldnt be touched by a rom but samsung devices are known for corrupting the efs on its own, requiring it to be sent in to the oem.
As for the phone model there is no way to know. What may have happened is someone took 2 broken devices and made a single one.
any other opinions about this phone ?
do i have to give it back to the seller ?
and what phone equals to it if i wanted to replace ?

Open the device and examine the motherboard, there should be something on the motherboard to identify the model number that it came from (if it has been replaced/switched).

Your hardware is G900F, so your software should be for G900F. Should be no difference between what you have and an un-repaired S5 G900F. As long as the new motherboard is SIM/carrier unlocked, you can use it on any network with no issues. Any future software repairs to the device will require G900F software/firmware.
I'm not sure whether you can use the LTE capability of the G900F motherboard, that will depend on whether it is compatible with your network, you might be limited to 3G like the G900F that it originally was because LTE doesn't always work when using a device on a different network. Some can be made to work with a little troubleshooting/flashing/modifying, attempting to do so, in some cases, can cause serious issues so research it before you attempt it, if you attempt it.
I believe it will be fine to keep it instead of returning it.
