I think you have the same problem as I do.
Found any solution? What is your location?
No not yet. I am still a newb. I'm having trouble because I didnt back up my 2.2 froyo. Then I factory reset everything, cache, dalvik etc. Now I have no imei. I live in the U.S.

[Q] The phone has no IMEI

Hello guys,
I installed CM9 on my i9003 and it worked fine. But after some time, my brother installed a GB rom. From that point, the phone is not showing IMEI and I was not able to use it. efs was not backed up. I tried flashing with XXKPQ GB, expecting that the IMEI will restore but it is useless.
Is there any way to restore the IMEI. Please help me.

If you IMEI not backuped I think you totaly lost it. Only one think you can do: try to ask somebody give you him EFS backup and put it to you phone and you're get another IMEI.
Warring: look out for backup are maked not at the same contry as you located!
Also remember: this things (changing IMEI) are not legal.

But if I true undestend: we can restore to phone backup from another phone? And this things just change IMEI.
check dhiru1602 thread about efs backup and restore, you will find how to get fake imei (0049XXXXXXXXXXX) this is better than nothing.
Some users reported that they couldn't give the phone another phone's imei.

There should be a backup of the EFS on your external sd card, this backup is always made when flashing CM. Check your external and internal sd for a folder called backup, efs, or something like that.
/sdcard/backup/efs here is where your efs backup should be, if you are lucky you will find it there.

I don't have a backup of efs on my mem card. I should look for someone's efs backup.

I heard that restoring someone IMEI backup is risky (and illegal) so be careful.
Having fake IMEI si like having a real IMEI so check dhiru1602 thread to know how to get fake IMEI on your phone.

Hello, I had sent you a message to try and help as much as I could but you opened a thread so I'll help you on here.
First. Double check all twrp folders using a file Explorer. Some roms when flashed through twrp automatically back up your efs partition.
Second. If the folders are blank then we'll proceed to try other methods of fixing your imei.
I assume since you went from having a blank imei to that weird number you tried one of the methods you found through Google.
There are ways to manually reenter your imei if the methods found on Google fail. Follow the instruction in the site below (I highly suggest using the terminal emulator method) and report back here. Your imei can be found on your Sim card or the bigger card your Sim came in.
Flash with stock 5.1.1 ROM via odin.

This right here.
I have cleaned this thread, and I don't want to see any posts about IMEI modifying or anything illegal here.
You can try stock flashing, rebuilding an EFS partition somehow (probably impossible) or repair shop, but any talk of anything illegal and the moderators will take action on your account.
Thanks.
Have you tried searching for a Galaxy s6 efs repair script?
If nothing has worked you definitely need to go with a repair shop. Either a third party repair or try to warranty replace your phone through Samsung. If you go the Samsung route Odin flash 100% stock firmware then send it in to them and see what they say
yeh i boght new s6 edge lolllllll bbut i i learned to back up

As fast as I now everyphone has different efs flashing different efs might payment lyrics brick your phone

Hi,
The link was ment for anyone willing to take a backup of their efs for you. Just to make it easier
I would do it, but i don't have a computer available before new year.
Ok thanks no problem, I did try installing another modem and messed around a bit what then happened was imei unknown and baseband unknown. I reinstalled stock and unikernel and everything came back. Im lost on what to do next

Hi I'm using the Galaxy J700H phone its like 2mos old, and have the exact same problem, so please can you help me? My problem is, I think my IMEI number?
