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.
You may try my method, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63693480&postcount=28

Hello!
I have a very strange problem with my Nexus S 9023.
At some moment phone have lost cell network totally. Rebooting device did not help. I tried to reinstall ROM and to change it (same with KRENEL and RADIO).
Sim is ok. No sim works on my phone.
Specs:
Rom - 2.3.4. SuperAOSP ST 8.6
Kernel - Matrix cfs v 6.5
Radio - D1
UPD:
-netmonitor app does not find any signal
-system says "radio version unknown"
-phone was not damaged
-*#*#4634#*#* shows "disconnest GSM: State: DCInActiveState Disconnected with last try at 2:29 fail because No Error". Preferred network type in this window can not be changes from "unknown"
-IMEI is "-"
If anyone have some ideas please help me
Have you flashed a new radio recently? If you have you need to restore the EFS folder using root explorer and reboot. It sounds like you have corrupted the EFS folder somehow if your imei number is not showing.
I found this folder. How should I restore it?

Put the stock ROM on your phone, lock the bootloader and ship it to a samsung repair center.

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

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'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

Yes, it's on the battery.

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?

I purchased a g930f off of Swappa and somehow soft bricked it to the point where it lost its imei and even if I get it to boot, it won't access my provider (ATT). I bought another one (yeah) and it appears to have exactly the same firmware that the bricked one did when I got it. I wonder if by making a nandroid backup of the new phone, I can get the old one working again, and somehow get the original imei reinstated on the bricked phone. I do NOT want to fake an imei, or do any other illegal thing, just get the first phone working again and hopefully reinstate its imei and serial number. Anyone have thoughts on this?

Try using Odin and download mode to get back to stock. That should bring back your imei. I think because you restored a backup from another phone, it tried to write the new imei on the old phone causing an error. Let me know how it goes.

I never did get back about your reply, but you were on track with your suggestion. I ended up finding the factory binary and flashing that, which got me back my IMEI and able to boot again, and then flashed the proper firmware. All is well since then.
Hi guys. I'm posting here in a desperate attempt to solve my problem.
A year ago I purchased an used N8000 with Omega 4.1.2 ROM installed, and worked very good. But a couple of days ago, I flashed my tablet to get the 4.4.2 update, because I need some apps not compatible on old versions.
Everything is ok except for the fact that my sim card is not recognized anymore, if I select the operator manually, I get a "network not available" error.
I made a lot of research, with no results so far to fix the problem. The only thing I learned is that I think it has something to do with the baseband version. Currently I have the N8000XXUDND2 version, the IMEI is ok.
I live in Paraguay, the 3G band of my operator is on 850MHz.
If there's no solution, can I just downgrade to the omega rom by flashing as usual? Or the process is different?
Thanks in advance

I don't even know how can I check the original imei of my device, since I forgot to write it down. On phones they are usually printed behind the battery, but this doesn't have a detachable battery.
If your IMEI is wrong then restore your backed up EFS folder .

It's written at the bottom back of the tab & on the box seal as well. Or dial *#06#. I tired hard reset & stock rom still imei error
I checked and indeed there's the original imei written at the back of the tab, and it's not the same number as of dialing *#06#. Don't know how to restore though since I didn't back up any efs folder.
You can do a search on XDA there are a number of posts regarding users that failed to backup EFS and null IMEI .
I have the same error, after root, imei and baseband are gone.
don't have efs backup
