I have lost imei and all..can any one help to resolve..
I have enter fastboot erase all...
There is no network..gps...and time zone gone...
Imei is 0
By doing a fastboot erase all, you have erased your IMEI for good as there is no way to get it back.
Sorry but i very sure no one can help you get it fully back, there is away to use xpose to mimic an IMEI but its not allowed to be discussed on here as its against the terms of service for this forum.

That requires that you backed the partitions before the mistake or by breaking the law, which discussion of the latter is forbidden.

is it possible to rewrite by miracle box?
Just Flash a Rom either stock firmware or Custom rom and run the commands in the thread.

OP to pull them files will result in whom ever pulls them giving you their IMEI this is verging on breaking the law. How many times must one warn you before a mod finds this and takes action.
i agree .. its against law. .. but i need to get back my phone and change imei according to my phone.
Mod Edit:
If you agree it is against the rules, then WHY are you STILL asking for this here?
Any further attempt from you to collect this information on Xda will result in your account being reviewed for restriction or removal.
OP you're going to need to find a Service shop that can re-write the IMEI for you.

If you have not removed the sticker behind your back cover, you can find your imei there. It is the hex number. I wouldn't know how to write it back to your phone though.
reflash stock ROM.

As others have said, no one can give you those files. Those files are unique to each phone, and giving them to someone else to flash might be breaking the law, and would also cause service issues for the person who gave it to you. No one here is going to do anything that might break the law just to help you. That being said, it is not illegal to repair your device. If you need your original imei, you can find it behind the back cover of your phone, assuming that you did not remove the sticker. It will be the hex number. As for writing it back to your phone, I wouldn't know how, otherwise I'd tell you. You'd probably need software that only Motorola has access to.
Thread closed, OP doesn't get it to stop asking for these files.

I was helping a friend to unlock his phone, and I accidentally delete nv_data.bin and dont have a backup. I know the original imei, is therea way to regenerate the imei? If I dont have backup. Please if somebody know i need help
Try one clicking back to stock
ok, i will download in my house, but, i was reading that one clicking dont touch the efs partition, and that file was there
Was the phone on gingerbread or ICS/JB? If it wasn't on gingerbread (Assuming it was a rom not based on CM7) you'll be able to restore the files by using a one click
the rom is in 2.2.1. Thats ok? I download T959VUVKJ6_STOCK-UVKJ6-One-Click.
So, if I use it, this will restore the nv_data.bin? I ask before doing anything because i have fear of make the this worse

No it won't. lol The OP is already on a BML partition structure. That trick only works if you loose it switching over to MTD.
Sorry OP your IMEI is gone and short of some fancy hex editing their is no way to get it back. Your phone will still work with zeros but data might be an issue. If you wanna try the hex edit way look in the dev thread for OLD unlock threads. Good luck.
So, i will have issue with 3g data or something like that?
I see a way that i can input the imei with a z3x box i think, and in my city there is someone with that box, that can work?

You certainly didn't give any information to help figure out what happened, but TWRP recovery gives an option to back up the EFS partition and if you are not using TWRP, I believe you can use a root explorer to manually copy the EFS folder to an SD card or your computer in case you need it. Of course this doesn't help you after the fact, but I think it is something everyone should do before they start flashing things. The same thing seems to happen early in the development of most phones, as soon as flashing starts, people run into this problem.
If anyone has better information on how to backup the EFS folder or how to preserve IMEI, please let everyone know.

AND IT IS USELESS unless you tell people what you did to lose it! Of course IMEI loss is possible. If you can count to 5 it should be obvious that something can be done to corrupt or erase the phones IMEI. Throwing it against the wall, dunking it in the toilet, flashing things that don't belong on your model of phone, etc... can all result in the loss of IMEI. That warning (and therefore this thread) is useless unless you tell what you did that caused it.

Hey all,
Ive been flashing things since early HTC Hero days and never had this issue before. I flashed a new kernel (Uber nightly if that matters) the other day and the IMEI is now 0, no network signal, cannot connect to services, random reboots, etc. Tried completely clean flash stock rom using guide at beginning of general thread running bat file (by windows), still nothing. The file seems to be corrupt until I can reenter the numbers so device recognizes and can get network. Went completely back to stock yet still have unlocked bootloader. Tried looking over the internet for some solutions, only found Octoplus IMEI repair but do not know if I need the box or not in order for it to work. Any alternatives or if anyone knows if the software works without having to buy the box. Want to avoid sending back to Google or LG. Links and suggestions are appreciated.
EDIT: no previous backup had been made to the file.

No, didnt previously make the backup of the file. I know it exists on the phone back and other places Ive seen but I need to inject that number back into system files so the phone recognizes it again. I didnt know of this issue before this but I wont be making this mistake again.
This probably won't help you after the fact, but I'll link this thread right here http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/development/modem-nexus-5-flashable-modems-efs-t2514095 and check the EFS Backup section.
You basically have to figure out a way to manually input the IMEI back into the EFS Somehow, the thread I linked might point you in the right direction.

Do you know how to get the tool to recognize the device, etc on how to use it. I downloaded demo to look into this yet no luck thus far on how or where device is to write to. I have drivers ,ADB, etc installed.

Sadly, no. The imei number file is specific to the phone and to get it "injected" was considered illegal since people who steal the phone could, by theory, inject the new imei to sell a phone as new. There is things out there (sort of) on this yet nothing good can be done. I use TWRP now since the back up allows EFS folder as well, versus CWM that didn't. I haven't had the problem since on nexus 6 or lg g3. The only way I know how to "solve" it was warranty through Google for nexus 5, they sent a new one to me and took the bad one. Only they (the manufacturers LG and Google) can legally inject the phone back to working condition. In all, had to get new one because no real true fix out there (legally) since even recovering it may be an attempt at stealing, the manufacturers cannot distinguish one person from another. Wish I had better news. Hope that helps and you can get it resolved.
There is an app on*******. IT'S ILLEGAL TO CHANGE A PHONES IMEI NUMBER!!
You can't take a number of am old phone and put it on a new, even if you have both. I can't see its wrong to put the original number back though. I've started a thread and asked the powers that be to rule on giving out the apps name, etc.
Sorry if I revived this post...
I know how you feel.
If you message me I will send you a link to a blog I wrote on this subject, I didn't think it was possible to fix but you can.
I know it's illegal. But google supports custom roms and rooting. So they must understand that this can happen.
Uhhh, I think all of you are incorrect. You may want to check your facts or your phones. If you have the manufacturer's firmware, in my case it is a Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 5G, you can use the manufacturer's (or other) method to flash the firmware and the IMEI numbers will be reinstalled. I was required to login to their site, but that's why you should register electronics with the manufacturer when you purchase them. It might not even need a registered product. And, after I was able to recover the lost IMEI numbers, I noticed that I can freely change them if I desire. Soooo, maybe I'm breaking the law? I suppose that would all depend on my location because this phone is mine, I bought it, rooted it, put a custom ROM on it, then did the dumb a$$ move of arbitrarily deleting files that "just didn't look right". One of those was a key component. Keep in mind, possession is 9/10th of the law. I possess this phone so no matter what, they can only charge me with 10% of a crime.
After multiple flashing of ROMs and kernels, suddenly my baseband has gone (Unknown) and IMEI too . After reading multiple forums, I figured out that it might be a corrupted EFS and my phone is not under warranty everything works fine...wifi, bluetooth etc...only no cellular signal...please help guys already flashed factory images (KK and Lollipop) and tried few custom roms....but same problem Was on latest optipop with Code blue r793 :crying:
Thanks in Advance

Afraid not mate . Messing with the EFS is illegal in some countries - and there's not much we can do anyway. The only ones who can help you are the guys at LG - keep pestering them until they agree to rewrite your efs.
Why did you not flash your own number. It's on the box and inside the back cover of the phone. To use a friends is stupid and illegal. You can't have two phones with the same number. It's highly illegal.
2G Only
Well, Managed to get back my IMEI as one of the local repair guys injected it...donno how bust maybe using Octoplus Box....But now stuck with 2G only as if I try to switch to 3G/4G, it does not work and phone reboots.

XDA however won't really allow any talk of how to do that because in some countries it is illegal. Plus they gotta cover their arse. So I'll just leave it it that.
No tampering with IMEI here
Thanks for the replies. But I am at all not wanting to tamper with my Imei.. Infact the imei is stable and fixed... I just want my 3g back... Rest of the phone is working perfectly fine
First things first, I'm sorry for opening another thread on this but I feel the other ones weren't headed exactly in the correct direction.
A little background:
I was trying to downgrade my XT1541 to Lollipop since 6.0 was really bad and I got frustrated and used
Code:
fastboot erase all
The result was I erased my IMEI and I haven't been able to connect to a network carrier since. The problem can be solved by re-writing my IMEI but that's the difficult part.
What I gathered so far is I can use QPST, backup QCN, go into HEX and change IMEI there, then restore the QCN back to my device. The problem is I can't locate the IMEI in my QCN since my IMEI is now simply 0.
So in all, could someone make a backup of THEIR QCN and send it to me? I would flash it to my XT1541, locate the IMEI (since now I would know what I'm looking for), then change it back to my own.
Does that sound like something that could work? Can anyone help?
UPDATE1: Noone sent me their QCN however I did try to restore the one I backup up (which still has an IMEI=0). QPST Software Download reports
Received an invalid command from the phone.

There are only two possibilities of fixing this... a 50/50 chance that a full factory flash will restore it (don't know how, but it does sometimes). If that doesn't work, then you need to send it to Moto for repair.

Well, unfortunately that leaves option 2... or turn it into a media play and buy a new phone.
Funny how `fastboot erase all` causes such a pain for some and not others... but once your IMEI is gone, there isn't much you can do. Moto kinda screwed the pooch on that one.
