Illegal and unless you have genuine reason nobody will help or advise you.
Its not something you should do by any means....if you want to flash firmware then back up is essential.... But restoring or modification of your IMEI is not supported in fact i believe its prohibited
Sorry to disapoint

Backup efs partition
Efs backup restore problem
Efs I got a backup Nothing changes when I reload. What could be the reason for this?
Nothing will change if you just reload it ,you will bring back the same setting as you have.
The best way is to use the phone without sim card. If you dont want to be found or have problem if you found that phone.
But ,this is also illegal so there is a hard way that you will found how to do this.

Hello,
I've been looking around for a solution for this issue.
My friend tried to root him phone, and I have no idea what he did... now his baseband is gone... Baseband version unknown.
I tried to install a new xxpe and then ddlf2 still no connection.
I'll get him to JellyBam A4 same as my phone. is there any file(s) I can copy from my phone to his to make it alive again?
his IMEI from *#06# is blank.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
try this method..

since IMEI is blank, i think the only solution there is to go to service center and let them repair it..but, if u have backup the EFS folder which contains the important files then there's a 99% u can use the phone..flashing on different ROM wont make the problem to be solve since IMEI is blank, just like my phone with no IMEI, now it is just like IPOD touch..hehe
Well he didn't back anything up.. lol
What if I took my working EFS file from my phone to his, will that work?
will he get the same IMEI as me?
can I mod the file(s) to his number, which I have from under the battery slot?

you're thinking is good that you want to ask for his EFS but sadly it is not possible coz IMEI is a unique identifier for every phone just like a PRODUCT KEYS to every computer, if that detected that 2 IMEI was using, one will be blocked..that's what i think..
if we can mod IMEI then i think no one will be having problem if in case there's IMEI has been lost..right?

well, I know it is unique, and I do have his original IMEI.
and as far as I read it can be restored in case you already made a EFS backup.
so my phone has a working IMEI files... same phone, only diff numbers.. they have to be encrypted at some level, and we are talking about android here, probably not encrypted.. I Don't know.
guess it is a long shot... but maybe I can alter my numbers to his...
IMEI and product serial number, all the data is written under the battery slot.
I'm no developer just thinking out loud... lol, maybe someone can light up the way for me, if my idea makes any sense on any level.

Hi fish fan.
Welcome to the club.
You've just learned the hard way (like I did) that restoring an EFS from one phone to another totally wipes the phone's ability to make calls. No IMEI, no ESN, no MEID.
You'll need to re-RMA it. Or find a phone repair shop with the hardware equipment required to re-format your phone to the complete factory state (which will void your warranty). Don't bother looking for a software solution for it, unless you know exactly what you're doing (HINT : If you don't know what a NV-Item is, you don't know what you're doing).
Good luck =)
Can i flash other firmware of s4 on my phone (shv-e300s). For example, i want to flash shv-e330s lollipop or indian's lollipop firmware for my shv-e300s. Will it work? Does my network/signal will be removed or still stays? Thanks for answer.

It may work but there is no guarantee at all. Another region's firmware will include another modem version (May affect your signal / reception) and in some cases the partition table is different from the one your phone actually use, which means you can get trouble if you want to flash your region's firmware later. In any case make a backup of the phone's "EFS" partition to be sure your IMEI will not get lost and the phone become unusable.

You can't. For that you create a EFS backup BEFORE youn start modding your phone...

"EFS" is one of the phones partitions storing somje data. You still can backup it, but thats not very usefull as the partition already got screwed up. With IMEI 0 you should not get any carrier signal // reception.

so it means, backing up my efs doesn't do anything if ever i flash a different firmware and screwed up for restoring?

As long your phone is not usable for getting signal or accepting your simcard you will gain absolutely nothing my performing a EFS backup as there seems notghing on it that can be saved.

I'm really curious about it as your carrier will normally refuse establishing connections to simcard in a device with invalid IMEI but in that case backup your EFS.

As fast as I now everyphone has different efs flashing different efs might payment lyrics brick your phone
yes serial and imei would be different but layout surely would be the same, if we can revert original imie then there shodnt be a problem

Hi
How would this help if your efs is corrupt?, or does it fix it when you restore?

Hi,
The link was ment for anyone willing to take a backup of their efs for you. Just to make it easier
I would do it, but i don't have a computer available before new year.
Ok thanks no problem, I did try installing another modem and messed around a bit what then happened was imei unknown and baseband unknown. I reinstalled stock and unikernel and everything came back. Im lost on what to do next
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.

I tried using Qualcomm NV Tools (from EFS Professional), which reads all the information correctly, however when attempting to write the following appears
Cannot Write: NV_UE_IMEI_I
Error: NV_ERR_BAD_SECURITY_STATE

So getting another QCN won't help as it seems that I can't write the IMEI (qcn) back to the device...
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.
Hello, did u try Xposed IMEI changer? Maybe that will be a native fix for this issue.

Hey, couldn't get any results with the xposed module
Just one bump
One last effort, not a bump. If anyone can direct me to commercial services for repairing the IMEI i'd be very greatful. Official Motorola Service wont repair it for me btw.
Thanks
try this guys
