I was told to post here so:
Hi,
Yesterday I flashed a custom ROM , the rom somehow messed up my IMEI number.
Then i went back to the forum and found out that everyone who flashed the rom got his IMEI messed up and we all got the same IMEI now, i still have calls working but im afraid they will stop working soon, i know what was my original IMEI, can anyone help us please. (Heres the rom i flashed: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1034130)
I saw that the devs on samsung captivate managed to restore their imeis, there should be a way to do that to the nexus s.
Same Problem with my phone...
same here
I'm restore my backup .. and nothing change
and imei still changed :S
Same here, i think the phone is as good as network dead.
Hi all, I also was unfortunate to flash this rom resulting in the changed imei issue. My Phone was displaying emergency calls only and i was unable to connect to data services. I used Odin to flash back to stock GRH 78 ticking the phone efs clear box . After rebooting i checked my imei number but it still displays the wrong number. However my phone now connects to the network and i can make and recieve calls and data is enabled. Not a full fix and i am not sure for how long it will work but definately an improvement on the very expensive paperweight i had. Hopefully a full fix will come soon.
Trying that~!
UPDATE :
Nope Odin again didn't help.
Isn't it kinda stupid to discuss this in not only one or two but four threads? I get it, you guys want a fix and I feel with you, but having four threads will only cause confusion.
How about you all agree on one and work together to fix it instead of dividing your efforts?

Can you explain what version of Odin you used - Odin3 v1.8 ??
What rom did you flash stock GRH78 ??
Did you use a .pit file and if yes which one ??
What boxes were ticked and de-ticked in Odin ??
Cheers mate
Hi,
I used odin 3v1.8 and the stock GRH 78 rom. I opened odin and loaded the
bootloader, Pda and scs files and ticked the phone efs clear box ,this was the only box i manually ticked all other boxes were left in their default state. i did not have a pit. file. Previous to using odin I had just unlocked my bootloader as it was locked. Odin won't work with bootloader locked all atempts to access download mode were met with a unlock bootloader screen.
After flashing I checked my emei no. but was disappointed to find no change. I then checked for system updates and clicked on the update which started to download. It then suddenly dawned on me that i had not linked my phone to my router and that data was enabled. I cancelled the Gingerbread update and went into notifications and saw my network instead of the previous Emergency Calls Only. A quick phone call verified that my phone was now connecting to the network. I then connected to wifi and installed the update.
I am still stuck with the wrong emei but can now connect to the network and
have restored my favourite rom from a nandroid. The only issue i now have is the
wrong emei but for now my phone functions perfectly

Probably something messed with your /efs partition.

I wonder how long it'll work ...
Y'all could try to look in the forums of the various Samsung Galaxy S variants, AFAIK there are ways to restore your IMEI on this kind of Samsung phone, maybe they apply to the Nexus S as well.
Hello guys!
I got a Samsung GT-I5800 for few months but seems I have a big problem from some days actually.
I was using it when I suddenly lost the network coverage. Reboot, factory recovery, tried other carrier usims however it did not start to work again.
It doesn't work nor with automatic and manual network choice nor with enabled and disabled packed data whereas, if I try to send a message or make a call, an error popup appears saying "Data network not available".
I have never performed a root flash or something else so it is always been original factory.
here some info:
Firmware version 2.2
Baseband versions I5800XXJP4
Kernel version 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #1
Build number FROYO.XWJPI
I'm very glad if someone can help me to solve this awful problem given that the device is unusable
Try to add APN(search in the Internet for it) to your phone(Wireless and Network>Mobile networks>APN)
I already know what it is and it is configured (for my Internet plan)...
the real problem is that it cannot take the network signal anymore...there is a blue symbol like a circle with a line instead of normal signal bars

Oh my god. How ones can lost the IMEI?!!
Btw the IMEI on the phone is equal to one on the box.
....and now! If it is this the case, what about the solution?

Check your IMEI by *#06#. If it is all zeros then it is corrupted. If it's old one then it is fine
You can try disabling then enabling flight mode. Wiping data or dalvik cache. Good Luck!
PS: Backup your efs folder to PC using Root exlorer. It contains IMEI and must NOT be deleted. Just for safety advice!

thank you so much for the support
anyway the imei was one of the first checks, it's the correct and old one.
what do you mean with wipe data and dalvik cache? isn't it the same of a factory restore? (factory restored lots of time but nothing happens)
Did you tried zerofill? You can easily find by searching this forum.
Also have you tried putting the SIM in other mobiles? Do they work?
BTW, I know that feel bro. I know the feel to live without calling/sms for few days

of course every SIMs work in other mobiles. It isn't a problem about how I feel and so on. It stopped to work and bye bye no more mobile phone just a paperweight...
I had a search about zerofill. is it useful to delete everything, right? I didn't get how flash it and re-flash the original firmware...by kies?
You'll need ODIN for that to flash the ROM. [Make sure you read instructions]
It will wipe all phone data so take backup from Titanium backup first.

It doesn't matter the phone is empty due to several factory restores in order to try to solve the situation
Ok, thank you guy, I'll try to search some instructions. I'll give a feedback here...hoping it s gonna be positive
p.s. I found a zerofill G3.tar on this forum. Is it good for my galaxy GT-I5800?
Yes, It wipes everything in phone memory. All the previous traces. It might solve your problem.
PS: Or Flash any other firmware. It always works.

last 2 questions
so, zerofill to erase EVERYthing and the I have to download my original ROM to flash it?
the zerofill tar contains 3 files .rfs: cache, datafs and factoryfs. Do i have to flash these by odin? sorry guy but i don't find any tutorial about odin and zerofill
It looks you have never flashed a ROM in ODIN. In that case I would say forget zerofill and just flash a firmware you want. Because you'll need to flash a ROM after flashing zerofill too. I recommend Custom ROM as it is fast and more features, it will void your warranty though. But you can always flash stock ROM to get your warranty back.
If you want to go Stock, then you can find stock ROM at samfirmware.com. Download anyone from there. Post here when you finish downloading. I'll post the instructions.

I don't know what i can try now...
Hi all,
So I've decided to root my Exynos International Galaxy Note 3 (SM-N900) using Chainfire's CF-Auto-Root. Problem is, Odin gets stuck at cache.img, then fails after a couple of minutes. Phone then displays BSOD whenever I try to boot. I can access download mode again, but not recovery. My phone is stock 4.2.2.
It's the first time I have such a problem, I flashed a couple of phones before without any trouble. I searched XDA for a solution and tried other Odin versions, different cable/ports, even tried on another computer, still doesn't work.
My first concern is not to lose any data as I didn't back anything up. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Feel free to ask about any missing info.
Thanks!
I see. It didn't say on the XDA thread it was only for Lollipop, but I checked in CF's website and you're right. I've wanted to update to LL ages ago but I didn't get it through OTA. The only LL release that's available for SM-N900 in SamMobile is Russian :/ I don't know if I should flash that one...
Would it be safe to flash back my stock 4.2.2 to at least get my phone back working? Or would the Russian release work for me (assuming it has language choice)?
Also, once I choose which ROM to use, would I loose my data when I flash it? I assume it is flashed the same way than root.
Thanks!
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. I assume you've seen this,http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2466423. In regards to flashing a Rom you should always clear data, dalvic cache and cache before flashing. That will erase data so backup first. You should look into titanium backup on the play store.

Yes, that is the thread I've used to flash the root. Now I have a BSOD phone and need to fix it without losing data :/ I didn't back up so I guess flashing ROM is out of the question. Any suggestions ?

You're not going to like it, but you need to flash the stock firmware in Odin and lose your data. It's the only way to get your device working again.

I'm surprised. Can you at least explain why the root didn't work? I did everything as stated in the tutorial. I didn't expect a simple root operation would result in me losing everything on my phone; some data I cannot afford to lose.
Also, the phone says that using Kies in recovery mode is what should be done. Kies doesn't recognize the phone as needing repair. Any info?
Thanks !

Sorry, but live and learn. Always backup before doing any thing new on your phone. Especially rooting and flashing roms as they sometimes go wrong and rooting bypasses some of the safe guards the manufacture builds into the phone to avoid problems. Kies is crap. Learn to use Odin, if your rooting and roming you'll need it sooner or later. And you're at the sooner stage.
Edit, I'd really try asking your question here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/help. I'm not sure on your device if you can go back to nb1, 4.4.4, firmware. I'm assuming there is no 5.x firmware for your device at this time. You can check at sammobile.com. But Samsung has updated the bootloader with each update and you have to flash the firmware with the same bootloader version. You can't go backwards.

SOLVED. I can't believe how easy it was. I was about to flash it over from scratch but then it struck me.
Chainfire ships Odin with all its root bundles, a version where you cannot untick "Auto Reboot". Because of Auto Reboot being ticked, Odin freezes at "cache.img". It might not freeze for some people but for me, having Auto Reboot activated causes the freeze
Downloading a different version of Odin (any version, I used 3.09) that allows changing parameters and LEAVING EVERYTHING UNTICKED BUT F. RESET TIME works like a charm.
Don't forget to reboot your phone after Odin displays PASS or RESET (Long press power).
I'm going to PM Chainfire about this, and tell a max of people about it.
Thank you for your support
EDIT: Also going to NANDroid my phone. I'm tired of panicking over failed roots
I recently purchased the Metropcs version of this device. The Google, Metro and Samsung apps constantly want to update after a reboot although I've updated them several times. Other apps I've installed and setup to my preferences reset as if I just installed them. I've factory reset and also reinstalled via Smart Switch using PC. Still the same issues persist. I've been unable to enjoy my device. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Also, where can I find the latest Odin flashable firmware ending in APK6. None of the suggested links/sites in this forum have it. Thank you.

You have a Nandroid problem brother. Go to sammobile.com and look up your model, SM-J700T1 (you can also flash the SM-J700T firmware the devices are identical) and download the APK6 firmware update. You can find a download for Odin here at xda. Now, before you flash anything at anytime ever, make sure you have USB debugging and OEM unlock ticked in developer options or you're screwed. After you download the zip extract it with 7z or Winrar on your computer and put the file in the AP slot in Odin. Once it confirms the md5 go to options (the second tab) in Odin and click Nandroid erase all, bootloader update and factory reset time. Make sure auto reboot is NOT clicked. Flash your phone, once finished unplug your phone and drop the battery for about thirty seconds. Power your phone on holding the recovery buttons so the update can erase your system, data and files and install it's system. You should see this screen twice. Once recovery runs twice you're good to go bro. Let me know how it goes.

Thank you so much for the reply. Believe me I searched for the answers using the Xda Google Advanced search as I've been around the forum for a minute and understand the dangers of being flamed. If there is a Xda link to the latest firmware for Metropcs please link me to it. At this moment I'm downloading the SM-J700T firmware. I never could find a straight answer as if it was compatible with Metropcs. As far as USB debugging, OEM unlock and unknown sources, I enable those on any phone/rom. Anyway, as soon as the download is finished I will follow your instructions and get back to you. Btw, are you using Titanium Backup and have you had good results restoring backups?
Yeah I only use and trust TB! Works great most of the time, I've only had a few issues with restoring data. That could be related to switching ROMS though. I haven't seen any APK6 firmware downloads on xda yet, unfortunately. I trust sammobile though, I've never had a problem with their firmwares.

Hi OP, not sure if this will still help or not but last night I downloaded the APK6 software from this site:
http://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?record=B165AF8AC6E611E69215FA163EE8F90B
Once downloaded, all I did is flash it in Odin via AP. I did not delete any data, and just let Odin reset the phone after it was done. Not only did it get me back to stock completely, but I also am now able to check for official updates. I am on Metro PCS as well, and it works great so far. Hopefully this helps, and hopefully you don't have just a bad lemon. All the best of luck to you.
EDIT: Forgot to mention that once I flashed ROM, I did have to factory reset due to apps that were on the custom ROM I flashed from not being present in the official build. After that, everything was golden.

I've never seen anything like this man. I've had to delete all data and system before but once Odin ran nandroid I didn't have any problems. Good luck bro.
Hey guys, just an update. I have not returned the phone, but this is what's going on. I believe Google Play Services is the culprit. I can't get it to be stable. I've tried uninstalling updates and installing a update via a downloaded apk, wiping chache and data..all to no avail. But I discovered multiple copies of various files duplicated over and over. I was wondering why my nandroid backup was over 9 GB. I want to try to flash a custom rom to see if it remedies the issue. I see that there are only 2 in this particular forum and they both seem to have issues. Are there any others that are compatible from the other variants. Again I've searched, but there seems to be no straight answers. Here a screenshot of what I found in data/app. These files are multiple copies of Google Play Services. There were many more copies of maps and other apps.
where can i find a list of stock firmwares for this phone my is metropcs j700t1,im trying to remove frp

Can someone please confirm if this clears existing data? I thought Odin doesn't work in this case because of the locked bootloaded on Verizon?

Yes, it probably will. If you are that worried about it, backup your data first. Odin will work even with the bootloader locked. Locked bootloader does not prevent you from loading official firmware.

Helium or My Backup Pro, but they are limited without root, which means some data can be restored, but not all.

I extract and I get several files? None of them being .tar files. Does anyone have the 4 files to flash in odin? Am I the only one who didn't get the 4 files mentioned when extracting the Md5? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Nobody?

You have to go in odin and select PDA and then add the entire md5 file! If you don't want to do it that way, then you have to download a zipping app like 7z or similar and create the .tar yourself.. Which is pointless unless you're planning on flashing 1 file like the boot.img for a reason or other.. The md5 file has all of the files that need to be flashed there's no need to unzip the files. Just flash as is!
If you're downloading from the OP then you need to unzip the file from the .zip because you can only flash .md5 or .tar.

Thanks. I have issue of my note saying "searching for signal" with full bars until i make a call. I dont think flashing the full file in Ap reset my modem to stock.

Try flashing a modem only file then which is for that signal.. Also boot into recovery using the 3 button combo and clear your Cache after a flash..

I've cleared it after flash and no fix. Does anyone have a modem file I could use. Does it have to be from the same firmware version? Sorry just not really experienced just need to fix this phone it's killing me. I got it off Craigslist don't know the history of it I just know that flashing a fresh stock rom didn't fix the issue.

Is it an actual Verizon phone? And do you know for sure that it's Verizon? Go into settings then about phone and tell me what model it says. If it says other than SM-N920V then it's not a Verizon one.. You can only flash firmware for a specific carrier.. Also check the APN settings too.. And about the modem no you don't have to use the same exact one from the same firmware version you can try a different one however I don't think that'll fix the problem.. Try checking the APN settings first.. Also if you just dropped a sim card into it without first giving Verizon the IMEI then it's not gonna work! You'll have to give them the IMEI and if the IMEI is bad the phone will never work at least not with Verizon.

It is indeed n920v clean imei through verizon prepaid. It gets apn through SIM card which is accurate I have signal T all times and internet/mms work. However when I boot my phone or randomly every so often it will say 'searching for service' throughout the day while still full having signal. During this time I don't receive calls/messages/internet notifications and it is stuck that way until I notice it and dial my voicemail which it then displays "Verizon wireless" and then all notifications come through.

Maybe try using this downgraded version from my Android File Host and flash it using odin but before flashing take the sim card out and after it's done flashing immediately do a factory reset by holding the power and volume down button and after the screen turns off and then back on select shut down and then boot into recovery and do the factory reset after it's finished put the sim card back in then turn it on and go through all the setup and see if it works.. Let the phone charge some first don't try doing this at 3% battery cause if it shuts down in the middle it can brick the phone. Not likely but it could.
