So i am trying to restore the imei number of my phone, it is currently 350000000000006 which seems to be some default thing. I am trying to use z3x samsung tool pro however during the process it gets stuck at checking Super User right...
Does anybody know what the problem is or if there is an easier way to restore my lost imei (i don't have an efs backup)
thanks

Seems to be a similar issue like here: [Q]Null Imei, Baseband Unknown N7105 by Emprt.
With a "broken" EFS partition.
Check this thread: Baseband Unknown and IMEI Null NOW WORKING by karlonicolas.
Maybe this will work in your case too.
Sometimes reflashing the modem/baseband can help to get back the correct IMEI.
And for the next time, please backup your EFS partition like described here: [WARNING! + GUIDE] Backup and Restore IMEI / NV Data Procedure for GT-I9305 by lyriquidperfection.
Good luck !

Hello, I was installing a rom xiaomi.eu to my new mi4c as it came with a ROM 77 loaded with a lot of bloatware.The phone bricked while installing it and couldn't even start in fastboot mode. Luckily with a tutorial I could recover. The problem is that the IMEI got erased. And the phone had no signal and couldn't detect SIM.
I a tutorial in order to repair it with the QUALCOMM QPST TOOL the problem comes when trying to read the xiaomi with the RF Manager NV only has 4 NV files, not even the IMEI or anything.
Creating IMEI I could get the phone to read SIM, and to show IMEI when typing *#06#. But no signal.
Therefore the only solution I can think of and that saves my phone is that if someone is kind enough to make a .qcn backup of his Mi4c and share with me to restore my Mi4c (obviously would put my IMEI to it so no worries) so the phone can work normally again with signal and so...Thanks a lot, I need your help.
Hey all,
I had an S7 edge (G935F) since launch. I took a full backup of it with TWRP (EFS included) then had it replaced with an identical phone (G935F). I stupidly restored the backup including the EFS from the first phone. This is now causing my new phone to not register on my mobile network, and to say "unknown" for IMEI and bootloader.
I do know what the IMEI is supposed to be for this new phone, but I don't know of any way to set it. I also never took a backup of the new phone so I have no way of recovering its EFS.
Any help appreciated.

Hi
Check here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/how-to/guide-how-to-fix-check-drk-imei-issues-t3379516
I flashed a TWRP MOAR backup, 1 day after that, my carrier blocked my phone, they said the TAC (first 8 imei's numers) was from another model, a samsung galaxy prime (I have an SM-N920P) so they blocked that imei. The point is I didn't do anything to change that imei, I just made a full backup and restore (including EFS folder). Any way to get my original imei? I already tried flashing the backup again. I don't have any other copy.
So I have 2 phones (both S7e), but one lost its IMEI / having "can't mount /efs" problem. This phone unluckily doesn't have a back up of its own EFS / IMEI digitally, but it still has the phone sticker that has its associated IMEI. Now, my plan was to TWRP restore a backup from the working phone to the unusable one so that I can fix the EFS problem and right after, "edit" the IMEI number to what it's supposed to according to the sticker left on the phone.
My questions are:
1) is this possible?
2) if so, can someone help me find out the proper steps/tools to help me change the IMEI on the 2nd phone with the temporarily duplicated IMEI
3) any tips on making sure I don't have both phones running and get blacklisted for having 2 phones with the same IMEI on i was thinking just to leave both phones on airplane mode or at the very least, turn off the first phone until I get the second phone working
