Hi. My friend from the US bought me a Sidekick 4G from T-mobile. I live in Canada and we can use it on a certain carrier but it has to be unlocked. I bought an unlock code already but as I was going through the unlock process, the IMEI number would show up as "null null". I don't wanna **** it up even more but is there any way to fix this?
I know there's a thread by cannondale0815 about how he fixed his Galaxy null problem but I'm scared the process won't work on mine. I'm just so frustrated with this phone
I'm an uber noob so I'm not really familiar with flashing or rooting.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
You can try using Odin to reflash the stock firmware, either KD1 or KG2.
But have you tried just using the code anyway? You did get the correct imei from the back of the phone right?

Thanks but I tried flashing KD1 already to its factory settings. Its baseband and IMEI is unknown AND it says that there's no firmware available.
I went to a guy and he said not to try the code because I could **** it up permanently.
I've seen forums here that say they've flashed something and fixed their null problem. The thing is I just don't know what to flash because all the other forums were about other devices.
Any help is appreciated.
did you have a backup involved in the unlock process that you used? which instructions did you use?
did you try checking the EFS clear option in ODIN?

With all due respect, your request makes no sense. Devices have either GSM radios (which include IMEI numbers) or CDMA radios (which include MEID numbers). What does your device have?
There is no way to wipe this number by flashing the device, period. What is it that you want to accomplish/get?

Which software you used to flash your phone?
If you used LGNPST, search for any .nv files
else
you'll have to approach any LG Service Center.
Please Note that It is not possible to edit/change from Others NVs.
I may be talking out my a$$ but it sounds like you need to reprogram/activate the phone. Have you tried dialing that?

Hi all,
My Moto G XT1032 have Unlocked Bootloader CWM recovery and is rooted, running CWM room v 11.

In Moto G I can't find imei file so don't know hot to fix this.
Please let me know how to recover IMEI number.
I hope that someone know how to do it.
Many thanks

I've never heard of this before and it seems extreme that you could lose IMEI number just by flashing a custom ROM. What method did you use?
I would have assumed fastboot flashing stock firmware should solve this.

Hi Sorry for late reply but I lost internet connection on Saturday morning.
When I have been doing some stuff in CWM recovery, had system and data partition mounted.
Then done rm -R * in root dir.
At this point I thought that my current dir is tmp.
After this I lost wifi and IMEI.
I manage to sort out wifi but not IMEI code.
Do you know how to fix this?
Since that I have been re-flashing stock rom and CWM rom but none of them help.
Chris
anyone can help to recover IMEI ?
Thanks
Changing/manually setting the IMEI is illegal afaik. And afaik assisting someone with that is also forbidden here on xda. We used to have a similar problem on the phone I came from, and there was a app which let you backup/restore your IMEI. You need to have a backup in order to restore it so this won't really help you...
This is what I'm talking about: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1591997
Edit.: There actually seems to be a way to manually set it but I'm not sure if it is device-specific.

You can find your Imei on the back of the phone.
If you google android 4.4 set imei you should find something from technostall which might help you
Good luck
Yes, it's on the battery.

I haven't.
I tried to sole this issues re-flashing with different roms, but after several operations it bricked.
It's totally dead, not charging, in linux I can't see device connected, so i think that is dead.
I bought new one.
Good luck with this problem.

I solved the problem, place to charge the phone, let him take some of the load and flash the original ROM, after that flash CM11, and run perfectmente, I think at first it was because I had done without the SIM, the second time you make with the SIM sunset ...

Yes It Does for most of the devices given you should know the proper method.
Mtk is different. It's not the same thing.
Any news?
Also I think the problem is that the imei is on the phone just not on the OS? (obviously, but...)
Maybe when we all reflashed to the original stock (and countless other stocks) they just didn't have the proper folder to access in order to identify what imei they're assigned?
Because every single time I've tried to manually rewrite the imei to it all the methods I've used are futile. Even the ones specially tailored to the Moto G's hardware SnapDragon - Qualcomm...
restore IMEI by Motorola service?
Same problem for me. I am really interested in some experience about restoring IMEI.
Motorola support phorum owner replied that Motorola service can recover IMEI (not covered by any kind of warranty of course).
I have tried to reflash factory ROM with and without inserted SIM card, but unfortunately no difference.
I have seen looking for solution, that for some people Android system sees IMEI=0, but the IME is still untouched using fastboot mode and "fastboot getvar" CLI command
For me it's empty using the "getvar" command as well.
The official service center in Germany told me that they mustn't repair selfmade imei problems :S
Lost IMEI
You could all try this new method claimed to be working but as I have not lost my IMEI I can't say, please report back if it works for you?

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.

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.

IMEI discussions other than restoring from a IMEI backup are not allowed.
Other than flashing your original stock firmware to see if it "by chance" restores your IMEI, we can't help you because you obviously don't have a IMEI to use for the restore process.
Good luck.

I got the IMEI it's written on the back of the phone.
But besides that i'm just looking for a root option i've tried patching the boot.img with magisk but when i try to flash it with odin it just freezes.
also there is no twrp available for my device...
do you have any tips for me on rooting the phone?
