I have mobile from UAE, When I try to unlock its IMEI Changed from original to 00499901064. Is there any cost effective way to restore it back. As many results show that it is a bad IMEI. EFS or any other back up is not taken

Seems to be a generic IMEI.
Maybe you are lucky and this guide works for you: [GUIDE] Recover your IMEI in 9 steps..
It was originally created for another Samsugn device, but works fine on various (Samsung) devices.
If not, please ask in the Galaxy Note 3 Neo Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting forum.
Good luck ... and make a backup next time

I recently entered the world of rooting and roms etc and yesterday i tried to flash DN3 ROM V5 for my AT&T note 2 GT-N7100.
The flash went smoothly but after the intial set up of the rom i realised I had no mobile service, so I then checked my imei using *#06# and my imei was found to be Null/Null.
I know that this has something to do with the efs folder in my phone but i don't know how to get mobile date back on my phone.
PLEASE HELP

Well you could try flashing a fully stock rom. This has been known to help but the only sure way was to have a backup of the EFS folder. If you didnt make the proper backups then you may end up sending it back for repair.

Hi guys, I have a samsung gt i9300 international bought it last week with android 4.1.1 stock. I upgraded it to 4.3 and then suddenly it could not perform any gsm related action like calling, texting internet etc with a NOT CONNECTED ON NETWORK error message.
I did my homework and found out that
1. the imei beneath the battery is different from the one inside the phone via #*06#
2. I have a generic imei with 00449 etc....
3. I did not backed up the efs folder and ever since I paniced and changed like 10 roms without succeeding.
4. I found out that the solution is to recover my imei
Now I have tried many ways to recover but failed. Is there a way somebody may suggest may be I have not used that one?
Thanks for your time guys I appreciate.

I assume that you have already tried this method: [GUIDE] Recover your IMEI in 9 steps..
If not, please do so.
If it doesn't help, check this thread: Samsung Galaxy S III I9300, I9305 > Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting > [Q] Generic IMEI 0049990106400 / 01.
It's about the same issue and has some useful answers.
If nothing helps, please ask the question in the [HELP THREAD] Galaxy S3 Ask any question. thread.
Best place to get quick help for your device IMO.

Background: Friend's Galaxy S6 ; SM-G920F ; Android 5.1.1 ; Bricked when failed to root
Hello, I am posting on behalf of a friend who bricked his phone. He accidentally flashed the 5.0.2 CF autoroot when his phone had updated to 5.1.1. Normally, this would be easy to fix by flashing its stock firmware.
However, we have no idea what the country of origin or carrier of the phone are. We only know the model number, SM-G920F, the IMEI, and serial number. I have tried using Samsung's new smart switch to detect the correct firmware, but it did not work. Unfortunately, my friend purchased his S6 from a not-so-trustworthy seller from Indonesia and has not been able to get a hold of them. We only have access to the sticker with its model, serial, and IMEI numbers on the phone's back. Any help or tips will be appreciated. We just want to unbrick his phone. Thanks in advance!

I have Note 4 from Europe
I have Rooted it and applied a nice cooked ROM from this great website.
Once I have install my SIM (first time since I have the phone), it comes with the SIM NETWORK LOCK.
Now, how com it is like that if i have ROOT and ROM not from Sumsung?
I need help on that as the prices out there are $35-$66
Can someone help? I have the IMEI and model (910C)
Many thanks to this great site and people

Hello, and welcome to XDA!
SIM unlocks are completely separate from actions performed by rooting, or installing custom ROM's, unfortunately. Also, you may find that if you get an unlock code, it will not work while running said custom ROM (I personally ran into this problem before). Samsung's are horrible for unlock code prices, but if you shop around you may find a good deal from a trusted source.
Ideas for that can be asked through the following thread, where your device experts are found:
> Samsung Galaxy Note 4 > Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting > [NOOB FRIENDLY] Ask the question!
Please note, you will need to have an XDA account to be able to post there.
Hope this helps, and good luck!
