Hello there, I got a Pixel 3 from one of my friends recently, after some days i reset the phone and suddenly SIM stopped working, when i checked the IMEI no. of my phone it was "004001520220002" this. But my original IMEI before reset was 99001200********. Now i had no idea what just happened with the IMEI. that new IMEI is blacklisted & hence i cant use the network on this, so i tried to recover my IMEI by using root method. After messing around with my device for a couple of days, i was successfully able to root the device and install Xposed Framework in order to change the IMEI no. I have changed my IMEI no back to its original but network is still no where to be seen in my phone. *#06# will tell me the old good IMEI but i am still unable to get signals on my phone. What should i do now ????? I am not an expert with the ROMs or modifying the OS. PLZZ HELP ME GETTING MY PHONE SIGNALS BAKC PLZZZZZ

Yep, a borked imei number will not allow you to connect to your cellular network...
I'm guessing that your efs folder wasn't backed up... you can try this...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=881162
I haven't tried this but good luck.
thank you brassguy...
but does this work for infuse 4G ?
In addition, I read that we can change the IMEI number using the ADB, or is there another way to do this?
Also, what about the GSII_repair app, can I use it for my phone (infuse 4G)?
i had this problem last night where i flashed a rom. i return it to stock and imei showed up.

First post, long time lurker, so i'll start with a big thanks to the entire community for all the help you've unknowingly given me.
I just got a nexus 5 to replace my original n5 which has a broken screen. I took a backup of the original and restored it to the new one. Unfortunately i didn't know what EFS was, so i restored the old EFS to the new phone. IMEI went to zero. HUGE BUMMER.
I was able to fix the IMEI with QPST, but the new phone will not connect to the network. I've run a check on the IMEI and it is not blacklisted. Without incriminating myself, lets just say that i'm positive that the new IMEI is good.
The phone recognizes that i've inserted a SIM but shows no signal. I've tried to search for networks, i've checked the APN settings...
I REALLY don't want to send this to LG since they can't give me a price or even a ballpark figure without me shipping them the phone...
Any advice on next steps would be greatly appreciated.
What should i try next?!
flash the factory img and do not restore your efs on it.

I guess i should have mentioned that i've flashed factory also. Currently the phone is on the latest firmware, unrooted, locked bootloader. Flashing factory had no effect at any point.
I bought this phone on Swappa BTW, so i am assuming there are no hardware issues. I'm not at all certain what else may have been screwed up by having another phone's EFS restored over this "new" phone's EFS...
More Info
I am able to attempt to manually select the network. When i search for networks, the available networks are shown, but when i try to connect it shows the Registering dialog for quite a while, then fails. This is the same behavior as a working phone without a SIM installed. The odd part is that the phone will recognize when a SIM is installed or removed. It seems that my problem may be that the SIM is not being read properly or the data is being lost/corrupted between SIM and antenna. Is this possible? Is this EFS corruption? is this something i can fix? Please help.
Bump?
Hi,
To revive my dead phone, I cloned another one of the same model. I tried for a week all tools and tricks on planet earth but nothing works to get my IMEI back because I don't have a backup of the original IMEI. I'm just asking if I can use my phone on the same phone operator as the owner of the original IMEI. I'm afraid they block this IMEI for both of us if they find that two phones are using the same IMEI at the same time.
If someone is in this same situation please help me.
Thanks.
I have a Cricket branded galaxy s6 on the Cricket network and I was having some issues with the fingerprint reader which led to an eventual factory reset after trying many other things and of course I forgot to turn off reactivation lock beforehand. When booting back up I realized my Samsung account wouldn't sync up and I realized what I had done and after trying numerous things to fix that problem it led to me flashing the firmware for my phone and of course I didn't make a copy of the efs folder. So now my phone cannot connect to any network because the IMEI number is showing as unknown and so is the sim card status. So my question is... Is there anything I can do now to regain network connectivity?
If you are rooted you may restore nv_data.bak and nv_core.bak, that may get your IMEI back, if not, you can purchase a new and clean CERT file to get a new authentic IMEI back.
Would the phone have to have been rooted before deleting the IMEI number? I still have the original IMEI number written down as well
for some reason my phone stopped connecting to cell network. after much troubleshooting i saw that the IMEI in the phone was corrupted, changed to 350000000000006 from the original IMEI. all things i read about getting the original IMEI back requires me to root the phone. but it doesnt look like a root is available for my build version. any suggestions? sm-g920a build UCS5DPK1. thanks.
