hy guys,
cause my s6 motherboard is gone by an "i don't know what happened", during a normal wipe data from twrp 3.0.2-0 i don't know how my s6 don't turn on anymore. dead completely. a friend send me an efs backup from his s6, i've flashed that and my s6 has turned on. the only BIG matter is the imei, that don't work for nothing the ril. i've done a billion things to try to let my s6 working, but it doesn't. so i will know if possible replace my mainboard with an 64 gb version, and if there is things to know-modify ecc, because i've found in ebay an 64 gb mainboard for g920f, and i've started thinking thank you!!

IMEI is unique to each individual device. If you wrote over yours with his.. thats a whole other world of problems.

What exactly are you planning to do with that?? Yeah you'll be able to get it in there, maybe even get it to boot. But you still won't be able to use it on a network till you get your imei back in there

OK. What happens next?
Yes same size motherboards so no reason it wouldn't work with everything else

the new motherboard comes with a different imei. he just needs to register the new imei on his account. To prove ownership he may have to show proof of ownership.
Did it work after you replace it? I was thinking to do it on mine as well.

Hi, this is my first post
Last year I found a new Nexus S outside Undergroung (subway), when I got home I checked and it worked fine with my simcards (vodafone and t mobile) I but never used it really.
My phone is now broked and I tried to use this Nexus but any simcard I insert is now not working everything else is fine, wifi, apps etc. It just won't recognise any simcards.
When I try to make a call it says " mobile network not available".
I searched the forum but found nothing to solve the issue. I have taken it to my local repair shop and they couldn't help me. It has the ice cream sandwich android version 4.0.4.
Can anyone here help me with getting the sim to work ? : )
Did it have ICS when you found it? Also, what model is it? (I9020A, I9020T, I9023?)
It did not. I updated it.
Its I9023.
Any more info required?
How did you update it?
I'd try to flash the factory image with fastboot and see if simcards work.
Maybe it got reported lost so IMEI got disabled

Right, did you obtain the phone legally (purchase), or did you find the phone lying around and picked it up?

Try flashing it back to an earlier version like 2.3.6

Hand it in to the police. If no one claims it within some time frame, it's yours (at least true for uk)
Then if you do get to keep it, then you can ask your network to unblock the imei, and cite the police reference so they know it's legit

Do ths first: http://nexusshacks.com/nexus-s-root/how-to-root-nexus-s-or-nexus-s-4g-on-ics-or-gingerbread/
then using the recovery (power+volume up) flash the second one if your phone is i9023 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1572307 there you go, stock 2.3.6, rooted.
I do suggest you hand this to the police, for legal purposes only

boost CDMA asking for sim card
Hello. First time posting in a forum. Many thanks to all who have guided me..
I had to give a friend my boostmobile moto g because I was so lost trying to get it back to working order. When he gave it back it worked in all ways except it now asks for a sim card. Its CDMA and never had a sim nor is there a spot for one. Does anyone know what went wrong and how to fix it. Its the 8gb and now has the cyanogenmod on it. I have no service on it now

I did it on mine about two months ago and it's perfect. Give me one good reason why I shouldn't have done it.
@OP
No, there is no other method. Either by rooting or unlocking the bootloader, will break your warranty. Live with the second sim icon or do it already.

Well the XT1033 variant has two versions, and the one I bought is 16gb which is the only reason I bought it instead of the XT1032's only version of 8gb. I don't give two left f*** about the two sims, only about the internal space. Also I was interested on the extra shells for design purpose. There you have it, the connection you wanted.
Anyway it's not the point of the topic and I believe the OP has been given the choice above.
Hey guys ...
I really need some help here...
so... I changed the IMEI on my nexus 5, that required an unlocked bootloader and a root... now I want to relock the bootloader and flash the stock image...
my question is:
Will the imei in my phone is going to be restored to the original phone imei? or can I still have the new imei after relocking and flashing the stock image
thank you
How and why did you change your imei?

The Nexus 5 is carrier unlocked and it should work all over the world(except 4g LTE ). Not sure why yours didn't!

the mobile carriers in turkey let you use your phone for 2 weeks ... if you bought your phone from outside of turkey... to make you buy a phone from them instead of buying it from other countries
and it costs me 35$
so... back to my question (vin4yak) are you sure about that? cuz I don't want to pay 35$ again
Ok well changing IMEI is illegal in most countries so it cannot be discussed here.

Technically it shouldn't... The factory images don't touch the /efs partition which contains the IMEI... But since it's been changed illegally, there's no way to know "how" it was actually changed.

All discussion pertaining to a change in imei is banned

I don't think they changed anything, just maybe allowed that IMEI within the networks.
Changing IMEI is illegal in many countries therefore cannot be discussed on XDA
So please do not speculate on or discuss the process

Hi everyone.
This is the first time I publish in this forum, so apologise my beginner's manneer
I did a big mistake, when I bought my new Nexus 5, I wanted to restore all data from a backup I made on my older nexus 5 via TWRP custom recovery, and unfortunately i checked the EFS case, this caused my IMEI lose, & at the beginning, I had no network signal until I set up this one on Only EDGE. Now i have just no 3G & 4G network. This is so bad with a NEW purchased phone hope it will be an issue for this.
I tried flashing back to stock, everything failed, no IMEI (0) & NO 3G/4G.
Btw there's no Google/LG service in my country

There's not, unfortunately. You gotta send it in.
That's a harsh lesson to learn. I've made it a habit of backing up partitions separately for a few reasons including avoiding this situation. So easy to not pay attention at the wrong time.

We can't. No Kernel source has been released, and Android M needs a new bootloader which is unique for each model.

I was going to but after reading thru the threads, I'm gonna hold off for official release (which should be soon for European S6) becasues apparently the battery drains from an unofficial upgrade path is pretty serious. And some people are getting force closes. I really really want to tho, so I may. I mean KNOX isnt important to me. Still debating.
