[Q] Is there any way to get back my IMEI?

Hey guys! I'm sorry if this is an annoying question. I have a Samsung Galaxy SL i9003.
Not to make it too long i'll summarize my problem.
I had lost my imei once and i was able to get it back with 9 steps to get your imei back thread but now it doesn't work. When i dial *#06# it's BLANK. No Numbers or 0049 just IMEI and okay button. I have a backup but copying it back to Efs didn't work. I dont have an "insane chip" It's normal as brickbug checker app says. I went to a phone shop they couldn't fix my problem with z3x and stuff like that. Samsung service center wanted 175$ for motherboard replacement so i refused that it's too much for a 2 year old device. So yeah, is there any way for me to take it back to normal? 'Cuz i can't afford a new phone and they're all very expensive in Turkey 'cuz of dumb taxes Turkey has.
Hope to find a solution. Peace out!
ps. If this is an emmc problem is there any way to do some repartition to it?
Ps. Today i've flashed DDLF2 and i saw that it rebooted to recovery and there was an error which says "Cannot mount /efs" I hope you guys can give me some tips to solve this..

UP i don't want to spam but i really need help guys.

[Completed] EFS backup lost , Phone has the invalid IMEI

Hello Xda Developers Users.
I have been searching for a solution to me problem for like 4 days non-stop .
Here is my problem .
I have a Samsung Note 2 (GT-N7100 Model) and It has the latest Stock firmware (Rooted + Disabled KNOX).
Basicly I lost the EFS Folder/Partion , and I have no way of retreiveing my backup again , The current IMEI is invalid which is 0499... etc , I have Signal to the Network Provider but I have no means to call neither use SIM CARD functions ..etc .
Anyway , I have Read - tried all the possible solutions on the internet like :-
1 - flashed different Stock roms , no result IMEI still 0049 ... etc .
2 - flashes different modems still no result .
3 - tried EFS professional , still IMEI 0049 with no help.
Yes , i know , I'm stupid sorry guys this is my first time doing this and the device is out of warranty time anyway.
and if you are thinking about going to a repair shop to fix them in my country it's gonna take some big cash .
Also , I have thought about a solution , why doesn't the members who have the same Device model upload their backup for me ? and then problem solved ? right.
Or a slight idea on how to change the invalid IMEI number to the real one , behind the battery.
I know that Changing IMEI number might be illegal but it isn't in my country and I'm holding the responsibility of my actions towards fixing my IMEI , I'll not use it in any illegal way ofc.
Please I'm really trying to fix my IMEI number to the correct one and There is currently 1 solution that i couldn't try even if i could.
It's Fixing the IMEI with Z3X box which is really stupid , because i won't pay 200$ to fix a simple IMEI fix.
And If there is no way to fix that for free , where do i look online to fix it for some cash.
Thanks for reading
Best Regards

Guys , I have found some solutions regarding using Z3X Box or HWK Tornado Box ..etc
But these boxes are for fixing multi devices and require a fortune .
I just want to fix 1 simple device ? Why would it cost 200$ for that.
I mean , why in the world isn't there a samsung utilities and tools for free that has the basic functionality of these boxes ? WTF .

Unknown baseband, null imei number and deleted efs files

I am in need of some help. I have a galaxy s7 that the efs files have been deleted, therefore, it wont connect to any network as well as unknown base band. when i type in *#06# mt imei number is null (all zeros). I have tried flashing stock firmware onto the device but that doesnt help. I dont know which combination binary software to install because i dont know the correct pda for the device. i am looking for any help to fix this problem.
note: i have another s7 with all the files i think i need, is there anyway to swap the files into the toher device and have it generate its original imei number ?

You need a backup of the efs folder of that device. If you never did one using a custom recovery like TWRP you are doomed. I believe that there are boxes like the Octopus one that, if you know the imei of the device they can flash that partition/folder and assign the device its imei once again. I don't know if the official service will be willing or able to fix the imei issue, I would suggest reaching out to them and ask.

Yeap. But no Luck ...
The thing is like this:
The phones is stuck on " No service " , Did MSM. Still no luck. I did *#*#4636*#*# and is showing that radio is OFF - im switching it to on and after going out from the menu is switching back to off. I have UMT Tool .... and write IMEI with it ... but is giving error on pull EFS partition pull ... thats why im asking for an EFS ... i can write the IMEI ( EFS From TWRP )
P.S. If i want to make a test phone call ... is telling me " Pleas exit airplane mode " but i have wifi an bt

Changing the imei??? It's illegal

Why do you need to change the IEMI?

In efs isnt the imei that is from phone ?

So ..any EFS backups ? Without make useless comments ... Sorry for being rude

which is why you should never mess with efs.

i think he means he corrupted his EFS, he wants someone to give him their EFS (and their IMEI effectively comes along with that) and that he will change the IMEI to the original ones that came with the phone (on the box)
correct me if im wrong @OP Google

I think that oneplus 7 pro was stolen and that's why he need to change the IMEI

XDA does not allow any discussion about editing IMEI.
