[G930W8] Lost IMEI/Baseband, tried all methods, nothing worked - Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers

I was trying to install Ryzen ROM in which I made a mistake, there was no compatible CSC in is so I went on with UK's csc but it landed me corrupted IMEI/Baseband. Though I backed-up the EFS before installation. So I tried installing Stock back with Smart Switch and it gave me error while installation. Then I also tried installing stock with ODIN which also gave me installation error. I have 13 canadian firmwares and I tried each one of them, no one worked (some of them fail at 10-20% and some of them fail at 30-40%, no one ever crossed 40% and no one ever succeded). Then I installed Custom ROM and I also tried to restore CSC with Terminal command, which was successful but when I rebooted it was as is.
Can anybody help me get my IMEI/Baseband back?

Make sure you're using ODIN 3.12.3 or newer

Hey, i had a simular issue. You can try the samsung emergency recovery. If that doesent work you can better send it in for repairs. I also thought :"thats a easy answer but didnt solve my issue" but in this case its the last resort since i lost hours of time without being able to fix this issue. I tried several restoration methods resulting me in extra expensive repairs since i completely messed up the partitions because of trying too much.

Restored imei but not connecting to network like it should

I tried flashing cm one day and after hours of not being able to connect to the network I realized my imei was deleted. I restored it flashed back to paranoid 4.3 but have been having connection issues. Next to no service in my house and places I had 4g I have 1 x or searching for service. I noticed my prl is 0, imeisv is 0 and also my eri set to 0. I flashed back to stock and everything was fine but as I excepted ota to upgrade firmware the mentioned above went back to zero. I believe I didn't do something correctly it's more than bad reception. Any ideas?

So, to clarify, on stock you have normal connectivity and the imei and meid is present in settings>about phone>status?

Sorry about that, the phone had normal connectivity when I went back to stock and in settings-about-status all values were present
Imei hex dex
Imeisv
Prl
I'm completely lost I have a feeling I didn't do something correctly when I restored imei. Either in qpst or In hidden menus on the phone. I just tried going back to out the box without any firmware updates and I have the same connectivity issues

Restore from a previous TWRP or CWM backup. I had the same problem before and restoring a backup was the only thing that worked. I even tried manually restoring the IMEI through QPST without any progress.
I'll give it a try thanks

For whatever reason I can't access my back ups. In twrp I go to restore and folder is empty. My back ups are on my sd card which I've used several times before. I tried going into install then go directly to that folder but nothing happens just goes into sub cater gory. I'm so lost this seems to not be a common issue so there's. Of a lot of info out there

I recently got through this issue too. After fixing my IMEI, ERI and MEID my phone would recognize a network but could not make calls. What I had to do was ODIN back to a stock unrooted ROM then complete a factory reset from INSIDE THE ROM, not from recovery. Reflashing a nandroid from recovery wouldn't work and simply flashing to a stock ROM wouldn't work, it was only after doing a factory reset using the ROM (Menu->Settings->Backup and Reset->Factory data reset) that I got connectivity back fully. This might work with a Touchwiz rooted rom but I don't know for sure. Obviously after that you'll need to re-root and re-flash whatever ROM you want or restor from a previous saved backup. ABSOLUTELY backup your IMEI information, if I knew what I was doing the first time and knew how simple it was and how little time it takes I would have done that first and avoided all this hassle!!

This seemed to of worked. This is the one issue I've had with this phone that seemed I wasn't going to be able to fix. It also doesn't seem to be a common issue so there isn't a lot of discussion about it. Thanks again I though I'd be stuck with my iphone5

I'm glad this worked for you. I was banging my head against the wall for a few days trying to figure this out. If you haven't already done it, back up your IMEI using the link in my last post. It literally takes only minutes and saves TONS of hassle.

Sorry I fell off the map on this, life's been busy lately!! All the links to the files I used are infact down. Were you able to get your hands on a stock rom? For all the repair work I used CleanROM, but I only flashed a stock ROM to do the factory reset. I'm actually wondering if doing a factory reset from the menu in CleanROM will do the same thing. Do your research so you don't brick your phone.
I went and looked on my computer and saw the file I used for a stock rom was a Root66 (pre-rooted) ROM.
For what it's worth, here's the links I used:
I started with this return to stock guide. Step three led me to this guide to flash a stock rom using ODIN. Step five of that guide had the links to the stock ROMs and stock pre-rooted ROMs. I was having trouble downloading a 4.1.2 ROM so I used a 4.1.1 instead.
If you still need a stock ROM let me know and I'll find a way to get the one I used to you.

Hey, no worries.. Life is much more important. Thanks for responding. I did get fixed.
I went back to a 4.1.2 ROM, couldn't fix everything. Eventually got back to 4.0.4. Got everything straightened out. And backed that _ _ _ _ up.
Was than able to upgrade to 4.4.2 aosp ROM, of course without needing the backup. But I have it.
Thanks again....as is usually the case, not reading enough up front did me in. Let that be a lesson kids.

[Q] "Unfortunately, IMS Service has stopped"

I'm having issues with my Galaxy S6. I used Odin to return to stock, and now I'm getting an "Unfortunately, IMS Service has stopped" error every 2 or 3 seconds. The phone is essentially unusable.
Other Galaxy phones have had similar issues, and I've tried some of their suggestions. I wiped Media Storage and factory reset the phone through the recovery. I tried to find the DRM app to wipe, but it's not there in the app manager. Does anybody have any suggestions? They are greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Im having that same issue. I bricked my phone for about a week and I had just got the tar files to open and return my device to stock. Is it saying you have service? Ive been looking this up everywhere and have no luck with the s6 problem.

Why did you return to stock? If you are planning to return/exchange the phone, then you may run into trouble if it is unusable.
3 options:
1. Attempt to reflash stock via Odin and hope it fixes the problem.
2. Restore a nandroid.
3. Clean flash a custom rom.

i tried to reflash stock again and the same message kept coming up. i thought that restoring would wipe root so i dont know how you could flash a custom rom onto it. would you do that through the Odin program??

Android lollipop gives you the option to transfer your apps to a new device when you setup the new device. You are also given this option when you flash a custom lollilop rom, because the setup wizard will see this as a new device. However, you should always make a backup of a good working rom setup prior to flashing a new rom or any mods. When I say a "good working rom ", I mean a rom that you might possibly want to go back to, in case your next rom flash doesn't go well or it has major issues that prevent you from using it as a daily driver (which you won't know until you flash it, obviously). The stock rom is definitely a "good working rom", and you should ALWAYS make a backup of stock before flashing anything else.
Since you don't have a backup of stock, then you are stuck with Odin getting you back to bone stock, which apparently isn't quite doing the job. The only other thing I can suggest is flashing a stock rooted rom (eg, no mods other than root). But make sure you clean flash, which also means mounting & wiping /system in recovery. I forgot how to do it in CWM/Phil's recovery, but in TWRP go to Mount, tap /system then go back to the main menu, go to Wipe > Advanced and select cache, dalvik cache, data and system, then swipe to erase. Now you have a totally clean slate.

Ive tried looking online for software thats compatible with my carrier (cricket) but I couldnt find it. The way that I bricked my phone was trying to flash TWRP recovery on my phone. Cricket is through at&t and has the locked bootloader. I used pingpong root to root it but apparently it wasnt compatible with my phone. I'm kinda stuck.

I have never messed with Cricket phones. I know they piggyback on the AT&T network, but I don't know if the firmwares are different. You could go to a Cricket store and look at the display S6 to find out the exact firmware version, and try to find that on the web (posting in the AT&T forum might yield a faster response). But trying to flash TWRP was not a good idea. Good luck!
I was attempting to return the phone to stock so I could sell it. I flashed the Cricket firmware, and ever since then I get the IMS service error. I can't flash a new ROM because I unrooted through Pingpong Root. When I flash through Odin, I only flash the AP .tar. Would it make a difference if I flashed all 4 (BL, AP, CP, CSC)?

Yes it does make a difference to flash it into 4 different parts in case you have the entire firmware
Just wanted to throw my 2 cents in here, i woke to this lovely issue, which was rendering my phone unusable. I use a program call YouMail for voicemail, creeps my friends out when they get to my voice mail. Uninstall this program after wiping every cache imaginable, voila, no more issue. I haven't tried to reinstall it yet since i need to get some work done. Hope it helps in some way.
I have the same problem after flashing the stock firmware thru Odin on my S6 from Cricket. I also tried Factory Resert and Wiping the Cache, nothing seems to help at all. I get the annoying message about the IMS service. I've tried clearing the cache from contacts, ims service but no luck at at. Is there any other ROMs out there for the S6 from Cricket. Right now my phone is completely stock and has no service. Any word of advice would help, Thanks !
Edit: I flashed the CSC file thru odin and it got rid of the IMS error but now I have no service.

Not an expert in any sense of the term, so ignore this if it's dumb. When the OP and others having this issue are bringing your phones back up, does the issue start prior to phone setup? Or is your Google account restoring some app that could be causing the issue?
it didnt solve my problem
I have the s6 edge though ..do i have to wipe and install the rom again??
Unfortunately ims has stopped working pop up
I noticed the spinning sync icon at the top my s7 phone. It was constantly trying to sync my messengers app to the cloud. (I tuned the sync function off an it seems to have stopped the annoying message from popping up. :good::fingers-crossed:

HELP

Alright so I decided to make a dumb choice and factory reset my rooted S6 and now I cant get past the setup wizard because its checking for a software update which it hasn't gotten past for 2 DAYS ! Previous times I've reset my phone this never happened. I also tried to just re-install the stock android but Odin says fail. There's nothing else I really know to do. I've been looking online all day for ways to fix this and nothing. Please help me lol
Well you're on the right track. Here is a different way of restoring the stock firmware. Download and install Samsung Kies3 straight from Samsung website.
You'll need to enter the Serial Number (very small at the back bottom of the phone) and the model number (I.e. SM-G920F) for Samsung Kies to start downloading the correct firmware.

Can you upload a screenshot of the error shown in Odin?

OnePlus One... I'm pretty sure I messed up my EFS partition.

UPDATE:
I have baseband wifi and bluetooth back but my IMEI is still showing up as 0 and no signal. I know the phone is reading the sim because I can see the phone number saved on the sim info.
Also getting "OEM_NV_Backup The NV Partition is invalid!" when I boot OxygenOS
Does anyone know where I can get 16GB installs for ColorOS and OxygenOS? I have a 16GB phone but when I use the msm download tool to install ColorOS I end up with a 64GB install.
Do you have any backup for the EFS partition?
I had same problem about EFS partition and No IMEI too. So I am almost sure that flashing completely untouched official Oxygen OS downloaded straight from official site will solve your problem as it did mine. Just download "Build" from here (oneplus forum) and flash it with latest TWRP. After that you'll get your fully working network connectivity back. Then just flash any other ROM you like, but look for perfect modem first (c6 works best in Asia and c7 rest of the world, but try both if you want). All the best :fingers-crossed::good:

gonna try that now, should I take any other steps before flashing in twrp like wiping anything?
so I tried installing oxygen through twrp but I was getting error 7 (phone is marked as A0001 and install is marked for OnePlus). I tried using the files and instructions from the oxygen 2.14 thread and somehow my phone hard bricked lol, I've learned so much about this phone in the last 2 months.
Gonna throw ColorOS on there and try going straight to OxygenOS from there.
So I had to wipe everything (system, cache, etc) before twrp let me install oxygen. I got oxygen installed but now it loops in oneplus screen and I got this issue come up after installation finished
Some more progress... was able to install oxygen os finally and it look like I'm almost done coming back from this nightmare. Baseband is back, WiFi and Bluetooth work, now just need to see about restoring my iemi, I've found some info on how to restore imei so I'll try that tomorrow sometime after waking up. I've learned so much about this damn phone! !
My bottom screen has also stopped working. The replacement screen you brought from, it is original or clone?? How does it feel to the screen when you buyed the phone from your friend. And i hope you'll get back your imei too

It's not original. Screen is fine the only downside to non oem front assembly is that that capacitive buttons will not be as bright, some have reported that they don't light up at all, seems to be luck of the draw.

As I can see from your screenshot from previous reply, you are not using official ROM. Completely official ROM is named as "OnePlus_Bacon_OxygenOS_201601190107". There was no need to wipe internal storage. Use this guide to modify the updater script. It worked for me perfectly. Then flash it and just boot into ROM. I was able to recover everything including IMEI number by this method.
And yeah, I feel the same way. I've learned so much from our beloved Bacon :laugh:

You have baseband so your imei is back
yet another update
installed oxygenos with twrp, I have baseband wifi and everything but no data signal and my IMEI is 0
I've hit yet another wall :crying:
Why isn't there a 16GB version of ColorOS and OxygenOS? When I install ColorOS via msm download tool I end up with a 64GB install, I think this might be causing my "OEM_NV_Backup The NV partition is invalid!" issues as well.
Just need to resolve those two issues, bad nv partition and my IMEI being 0
Anybody know where I can get a 16GB version of colorOS, I have a feeling I overlooked something I was supposed to tweak

That's what I thought but my IMEI still shows up as 0
I don't understand why you are not flashing official Oxygen OS even after saying it solved each and everything for me?? And since it is official, it is bound to support 16 GB variant as well.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/tool-oneplusrecovery-tool-v1-0-restore-t2991851
Ok, so the link I posted should be a last resort. You will find a recovery tool that I used when my IMEI would not return correctly. Follow all instructions, but do note that this will completely wipe everything, and if I remember correctly, that includes all personal files. The tool should land you back on the original software (like CM11S). I say try EVERYTHING else people tell you first before doing this. You're essentially starting over your phone. Good luck!
EDIT: Your recovery will be stock as well.

I did flash the official one. I used the link from the oneplus page that takes me to a forum post. At first I wasn't able to do it with twrp but afterwards I was able to

No Sim detection after flashing Rom, IMEI Lost? [solved]

Hey Guys,
I know there are some similar threads about this problem, but there are no answers to the problem and the solutions I tried don't work.
My situation:
Lightrom S9 Port had some major freezes during normal use, so i wanted to install superman rom again. I don't know why, but installation from the SD card wasn't possible. Seems like the file somehow got damaged. Result: Bootloop.
Then I tried to restore a 2 month old backup of working super man rom, I had to go through configuraion again, but everything was still there, but somehow pretty buggy.
So, while in TWRP, I wiped everything and copied the rom to the internal storage. Installation was successful, but there is no sim connection anymore. My IMEI number is gone. When I try to flash BL and CP through Odin, there is an error (binary error sth.) and thats it. Even trying to restore the EFS part of the old backup doesn't help.
Could someone please give me guide, what I should try now? Trying to restock everything? Why is Odin not working (same error has been mentioned here in the forum, but no response)
Thank you very much. I don't know why it suddenly completely crashed.
Should I try this guide? https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/how-to/guide-how-to-fix-check-drk-imei-issues-t3379516
This is the last thing I would try, otherwise I need to buy a new phone...
EDIT:
I luckily just recovered the sim recognition. As far as I understood, I couldn't flash BL and CP because my files were a bit older and this would caused a downgrade.
I got the newest firmware from SamFirm, flashed the 2 BL and CP files and now everything is working!!! I'm so happy right now

Hey Guys,
I know there are some similar threads about this problem, but there are no answers to the problem and the solutions I tried don't work.
My situation:
Lightrom S9 Port had some major freezes during normal use, so i wanted to install superman rom again. I don't know why, but installation from the SD card wasn't possible. Seems like the file somehow got damaged. Result: Bootloop.
Then I tried to restore a 2 month old backup of working super man rom, I had to go through configuraion again, but everything was still there, but somehow pretty buggy.
So, while in TWRP, I wiped everything and copied the rom to the internal storage. Installation was successful, but there is no sim connection anymore. My IMEI number is gone. When I try to flash BL and CP through Odin, there is an error (binary error sth.) and thats it. Even trying to restore the EFS part of the old backup doesn't help.
