For a test dial #*06#..
Does your imei starting with 49 or 0000 then you have an problem..

ty for the tipp, after 2 hours of googling i make it

Problem solved or? Did you mean something else?
Next time make an backup from your efs with adb or root explorer..

i found an old nandroid backup and i that restore my efs folder so im lucky

On my old phone GT-I9000 aka Galaxy S, to restore an imei you just needed to flahs any stock ROM via ODIN and that will restore your imei. Although I'm not sure if that the case with I9001. Never tried.

I flashed a lot of Stock ROMS to get my imei back ... no one will bring your emei back. Most problems with emei are caused that sometimes on custom roms the baseband is missing. just flash a modem than anf basebabd and emei will be there.
flashing stock is doing the same, it flashes basebend and thats the only thing.
restoring your imei by flashing stock doesn't work!

Hmmm, sorry but I'm confused. If you're on cm and you can open recovery I can only think you are still rooted (check this with root checker app) so not sure why you think you need to root. I see you tried to restore, what to? I can only suggest flashing back to a stock rom and then do the rooting process again.

Dude, I've no idea what you're going on about! You seem to be quoting your own posts and replying to them, and they don't make sense! Go to sammobile.com enter your model number under firmware, find your country and download it. Then flash it with odin!

Mobile odin support i9500?...can someone confirm this?..tq
Sent from my GT-I9500 using xda premium

mobile odin is not yet supported for 9500, but you can simply flash either modem or any other files via flashify on both 9500/9505

hmm
EDIT.. yeah I think I have that wrong, apologies OP..

Hello yes mobile odin pro will work but it is easier to flash through recovery on the i9500 follow link to modems currently i9500 is the only version that can flash modems in recovery

I wasn't sure if aptoide was a pirate app store or not. one thing I've read says it's used by developers, other things say get paid apps for free.. if it's the later, this wasn't the best place to put that link.

Do note that if your phone has the nasty habit of sometimes not booting up when charger is plugged in, it will fail and you'll have to flash a new stock firmware with odin.
This happened to me yesterday.. Very nasty.. Recovery wouldn't boot neither except for download mode.

That's the problem. It broke my recovery. It couldn't boot anything up except for download mode.

everroot ?
while I'm here, was wondering if everroot works with all the things Samsung has done to make rooting more problematic.. it's gonna be a while before I flash a stock fw to find out for myself and I don't have a laptop to use on a regular basis..

(Q) how do you know if efs is corrupt

Hi just a quick question, just wondering what the tell tale signs of corrupt efs is. I'm a noob about this and seek knowledge, reason I ask is I reflashed stock over stock just because I had battery issues and relocked bootloader etc. But do not have a backup efs, what signs should I look out for if there is any issues.
Thanks

What are the main causes of a corrupt efs is it a bad flash or something like that.

U8800Pro WIFI & IMEI Problem

Hello, I use is a Huawei U8800Pro and I am currently using CM11 4.4.4 and TWRP 2.7.1.0
Before switching to CM11, I was using the official ICS rom 4.0.3 (B928) which I downloaded from their website.
My WiFi was working perfectly before I flashed ICS 4.0.3 after that, wifi stopped working. I thought flashing CM11 would resolve the issue but it didn't. I later on realized the IMEI of my phone has the last 6 digits wrong.
I also tried flashing stock ROM just the way I used to and it failed.
I am a novice at this and I would greatly appreciate it if you could help me.
Thank you.

your efs partition is jacked up from flashing. hopefully you made a backup before flashing and can restore it, otherwise, i don't know how to fix it.

this should get you started with your imie. use google search to help you find any other parts of efs that need fixing. i dont know how to do it, so thats how im finding this for you.
your imie should be on the box the phone came in and i think its under the battery too, on phones with removable battery.
