[imei corrupt] help!

---

Is the baseband showing as Unknown instead of I927UCsomething? That we may be able to fix. Otherwise you're kinda screwed :/
The fact the codes don't work suggests that we don't have a Qualcomm radio. Since it's usually inside the SoC that doesn't surprise me.
This may work: http://gsmforum7.blogspot.com/2012/04/samsung-android-repair-efs-imei-repair.html

i have recently bought the samsung captivate glide off of ebay. I live in the UK so i am not on att. I updated my glide to ics, installed cwm recovery, and rooted it. The phone is unlocked so it worked great. I was using a giffgaff sim (o2 network), and everythign worked great, except mms. I found an app that fixes mms, but when I ranit it deleted all my apns and froze the phone. I rebooted the phone and now there is no imei. I do not have an efs backup. After i found that my service is gone and that my imei is gone, i backed up the damaged efs and started reading up and editing it. I finally got my imei changed, but its still incorrect and my service was still not working. I restored my corrupted efs folder back and now it still has no imei. How can i repair my imei? i looked all over the internet, and was going to try qpst but i cant get this phone in diag mode for the com port. What should i do?
ps this exact thing happened to me last year when i lived in america on metro pcs, but to fix it I went into the metro pcs store and they flashed my imei back.

Read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2019540 and see the post no. 2. It has link to a site run by an individual, see if that helps http://www.cvxcvx.pl/?lang=en as it has i927 in his list.

doesnt work..

Have you tried installing a GB ROM, especially stock?

i dont have any .bak files in the efs.. :/
The imei editor (generator) only lets me put in 14 characters, but my imei is 15 characters long..
the "Android Language Editor with Android Language Project" requires the purchased version in order to use the imei settings

You should have looked on the other link i gave in my post above. anyway check this out http://www.cvxcvx.pl/podstrona-0/check-when-repair-no-problem?lang=en.
For 10 euros, the guy promises to fix it 99% of the cases where the imei no is either shown as all zero's or ending with '640000' . Other cases are also mentioned.

efs question

idulkoan said:
if i backup my efs on a spare android phone that works but I do not use, and restore it to my glide, wil that work?
[like will my imei be changed to the other phones so that my service will work? and for people that think my phone is stolen, it isnt and my original imei is not blocked especially because im using this phone in a different country (england instead of att in america)]
i dont mind a different imei, as long as i kan get the service back on this phone. I am going to 2 repair shops today to see if they can restore my imei to my original one.

The other phone should be samsung glide i927 and not just any other phone. But then i think you'll have 2 phones with same imei no.s which is illegal in many countries and is termed as cloning. And i'm not sure but XDA probably discourages these kind of discussions.
Let us know what was the outcome of going to the repair shops and best of luck. :good:

ok so this problem is still here but randomly. If i reboot the phone, sometimes the imei doesnt show up and i have to turn off turn back on, and then if the imei isnt there i have to take out the battery and wait a minute then turn it back on and then its fixed. SO the problem is here still [randomly happens, usually when not shutting down properly (like holding power button till the screen jsut shuts off) or when rebooting the phone a couple times with the build in reboot option] but the solution is to reboot onces or twice to bring it back to fix it.

I had the same problem in India and it keeps increasing till you cant use the phone. I discussed it with some repair shops and they were quite clear that its a software issue and needs "box" to fix it along with Samsung software. Even the samsung service center recommended getting it flashed properly and it will start working. Unfortunately, cant locate a local repair shop here which can flash this.
Suggest u get it properly fixed now, if possible from an official Samsung service center.

oh ok

idulkoan said:
oh ok thanks for the info so basically this will keep happening until it stops working? cause it does still happen, but I kn fix it by taking out the battery and putting the battery back in..

Atleast thats what happened to my phone. Taking out battery would get the phone working, but the problem would surface after some time.
I flashed a lot of roms and the best rom I used was Osimod GB (with regards to this problem only) as it used to work for 2-3 days before giving the problem. Also, typically, it would happen a bit after you make or get a call. You can observe for sometime and see if its the same problem and if it is growing.

whats the full adb command? ahha

"adb shell ls -a /efs" should show everything. May need to be root, I'll have to check.

[Q] little complicated , I need an expert advice pls

Hi , hope u all feel good today
my problem is a little complicated so I'll try to list it in time manner :
- last year I got my AT&T I747 galaxy s3 and I really loved it.
-I wanted to use it with my T-mobile line so I rooted the device and I unlocked it .
-I used it for few months like this, then for some reason (can't remember) it started to act very strangely (Sth like Sudden Death Syndrome btw I used some android app and it showed that my device doesn't have the effected part that causes SDS ).
-I flashed custom rom (CM) using Odin and everything was wonderful.
-upgraded to CM 10.x.x(can't remember either) so far everything was just fine because I had Tmobile pay as you go line Internet was only through Wifi.
-I got new AT&T line and wanted to use the 4G Lte but it wouldn't work (neither 3g did) I didn't know why back then , I thought it was software so I flashed back to stock rom .
- 4g/3g didn't work on stock rom . I did some research and find out that IMEI could be the reason .I checked mine and it was 0 ... I looked for efs folder backup and found none .
-some idiot suggested I delete efs folder with root browser and restart the device , when I did so it showed yellow watermark with some info on it and a message says that I am on (factory mode) and the imei still 0 , no 3g/4g ... but it was still functional .
-someone also said that flashing to older stock rom could help , I did and evreything was the same (no 3g/4g , imei=0 , watermark , factory mode)
- I was about to give up then some guy from local store said he would fix it , he used some machine to erase the whole thing and rewrite it and he did now the device is working great and have 4g but with FAKE IMEI , the stock rom is getting on my nerve again .....my question is simply can I flash to CM and still have IMEI/4g ? how ? why imei was erased first time ? does the fake imei affect the phone anyway. ?
Thanks for your time and efforts .

am not an expert in IMEI info but i know this YOU SHOULD ALWAYS BACK UP IF YOUR EFS data files before rooting or getting into customs roms follow this link and it help you retrieve your lost EFS folder/files, fix it and propably have your phone back to normal
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1725839
i have also lost 3G/4G completely on my 1st time rooting THIS IS TRUE but i fixed it later on after discovering that i did not back-up my efs folder/files
anywz things will be fine, 1st get your IMEI back to normal and right and then you can procide to rooting/customs roms

Yup, just like WINOSXBUNTU said, after that, you should be back to normal. On a side note, I'M NOT A LAWYER but I think (in the case of what the guy that "fixed" it did) getting someone's IMEI and then spoofying it on a different phone with you not being the owner is illegal... But again, I'm not a lawyer, but just thought...

well I did ask him to get back my original IMEI , I thought the new one is just "random" ..... does it have to be from another device ? if it is , does that affect the other guy phone ?

If you wanna check out, compare the IMEI it shows you in the Settings menu to the one on the Samsung sticker behind the battery on the phone itself (Tip: Never post your IMEI anywhere, big no-no for you). I'm not an expert on how the whole IMEI spoofing works, but it could be something that there'd be more about online. But again, I'm not a lawyer!

[Q] No Imei and "baseband unknown" Please help! Really weird!

So, this is a long process I've been through-- First thanks so much for just taking the time to read this and any input would be awesome
I tried to flash a new slimkat 4.4.2 rom today and it flashed fine came up had service all was well except I think i did it as a "dirty" flash. I don't want to think any errors possible would be from that so i immediately did a "clean" flash and wiped everything except external sd-card in TWRP
Rebooted and noticed i didn't have any signal or data. First thought was modem so I started flashing MJ4 and reboot, nothing, so I flashed MK6 and reboot, nothing, so i changed to CWM recovery and flashed them, nothing, then at this point i just want a phone back doesn't even matter so i always seem to have several ROMS on my phone so i flashed another Sky Note 4.3 and reloaded nothing... So i started really wondering now and looking at my baseband to see what it said and noticed "Unkown Baseband" and Imei "unkown" (All while at work) So I came home did a little research while trying various other roms and none worked. So I read one way is to use Kies and do a "firmware upgrade initialisation"
Now it rebooting and completed going back to 4.1.2 CAMA4 and i still have nothing.. So I flashed UCALJ modem (Which should work as well) and I still have no data or signal because of unknown IMEI and Baseband. I don't really care about using triangle away or not, but i can get around and flash roms and everything thats what I don't understand.
Oh I did use CF-autoroot to install TWRP to install the modem as a .zip
Any ideas I would love you forever!!!

Lesson learned... no backup

I'm going to try and repair (backup and re-put) my EFS folder there, but how do i tell if its a complete EFS folder or if it is damaged? On the note 2 ATT is there a way to manually put in your IMEI? or reasons why this couldn't be my problem please

Last time this happened to me, a very long night, I had a guru on hangouts with me and we tried everything we could think of..
Only thing that got me back was a restore of an old backup, as a wild ass last resort.... Lost my mind when it worked
This problem is not weird, unfortunately it's common.
Starting surfing for your error and read read read.... I've had a long fricking day ..
Like a maniac I'm trying to port over a 7100 ROM.. I get that error also.
Only thing that gets it back is restoring a backup rom that had an efs backup in it.

In my EFS folder i can't find any .nv_**** files so I'm assuming they are gone and I don't have a back-up. I've been reading and reading with nothing coming out of it other then how to fix it on alot of other samsung phones. I can't seem to find a way to re-build and manually enter my own IMEI (because i know the IMEI) Driving me nuts!! but thanks for your reply

EFS folder anyone?
Any chance i can get a copy of someones EFS folder so that i can edit the .nv_data and add my IMIE? Please of a ATT Note 2
Thanks so much and just PM link

Sadly no...
It is both illegal...and unethical for someone to give you a copy of an EFS folder...
It contains the user data and carrier information for the device...making the folder private...and unique to it's owner ....g

I have done official firmware and over odin and before that Kies recovery. Also, knew it wasn't smart but didn't know it was illegal.
Any idea's for programs that will scan for deleted folders? or other ways to re-build EFS or .nvdata?

I was going to try this but didn't have to because I found a backup with my efs. I was going to try putting a new sim in and see if phone would see it and rebuild.
Actually was going to pull the sim out of my wife's note 2 and try it.

So I tried from my wifes sim today with no avail. Still don't have my phone and wondering if there is any way to recover it? Do i try to set it back to stock everything fix the flash counter then call samsung? I don't think its under warranty anymore since i've had it for almost 2 years. I know its a long shot but I wonder if taking it to one of those "cell phone repair" places would be any help? I'm out of options and actually had to drop back to my old HTC Inspire

Yea, the sim deal was to simple to work...
So never heard I don't think. What were you on before you flashed slimkat? Did you do the 4.3 OTA update?

Have you tried flashing an original rom with the Pit file? That's your last resort, EFS is unique to each phone by using someone's else's this is illegal as your modifying the IMEI. I've had efs issues in the past but always had a backup to hand. Try flashing everything with a pit file if that doesn't work then you will have to take it in for repair, Samsung official could do it but don't know what they will charge as it's out of warranty or maybe a local phone repair shop could do it or someone with jtag services can do it perhaps too.

A couple of other people are having worse problems like not being able to flash a recovery in ODIN or a ROM saying it can't read partitions. That's a good choice for a PIT flash.
But I'm reading and reading and everything is saying, yep that will work.... IF you then have the efs backup to restore

Thanks so much for the help!! I'm just worried that its not going to fix it and only make it worse possibly. I can't find how to pull my PIT file to analyze it so my next option is... Call a professional tomorrow... I'm going to call because apparently a "Z3X box" will fix my phone in like 3 minutes. I will post back though letting people know in the future whether they can or not. Because of legal reasons I don't know if they can even write my own IMEI back to the device. Will post back though regardless after tomorrow when I call them.

This happened to me a while back and I just flashed back to stock using Odin and all was fine

GREAT NEWS!
So I got desperate and realized this was going to take a professional. I called around to my local "cell phone repair" shops that really only know how to change the screen and asked about recovering the EFS file. It started out: "Hi can I talk with someone knowledgeable about the Android file system?" and every time the person said they were an "expert" So I said "I deleted or corrupted my EFS file and I need a repair for it" and EVERY time they told me they had no clue what I was talking about. I read and read everything I could find on the internet and most pointed me to some international "send you phone here" and of course I'm very skeptical of shipping my phone just about anywhere. So I found a person in the US at mobiletechvideos.com and looked him up with the BBB and found reviews from multiple sources.
I can say mobiletechvideos.com is legit and awesome! Josh fixed my phone and repaired the IMEI in less the 10 minutes remotely. I have my note 2 back! Please do not hesitate to give this guy a try he is legit and really down to earth guy. This thread can end here because whatever he did I have no clue but it worked!
Also a lot cheaper then I though it was going to be

[Q]IMEI lost after flashing cm10.2 and can't be restored

Hello everyone. I'm using the Note 2 lte version(N7105) and yesterday i flashed my phone from stock 4.1 ROM to CM10.2 (latest stable version found on CM website). Everything worked fine expect that my IMEI got lost, but i still can make phone calls and send SMS and the base version is displayed.
The system information displayed like this
IMEI
0
IMEISV
01
instead of displaying 0049***** or 0000000000
and if i dial *#06# the imei is 0/01(instead of a series of 0)
Here's some way i tried to fix this.
!. Restoring the EFS backup and flash back to stock 4.1 rom.---DOESN'T WORK STILL 0/01
2.Flashing a different baseband ---DOESN'T WORK STILL 0/01
2.Using EFS Pro (Qualcomm nv tools) to recover my IMEI under stock rom ---DOESN'T WORK (when i click the connect button the window freezes then two windows pop out saying connection is lost and can't send SPC)
3.Using a nv_data.bin generator to generate a nv_data.bin which contains my original IMEI and copy it back to EFS partition---DOESN'T WORK STILL0/01
i've been working on this for a whole night and i still can't solve the problem. Could anyone please tell me what should i do? Please.
:crying::crying::crying:
Thanks in advance!!
FYI my efs partition file structure looks like this:
/..
.flies
bluetooth
drm
FactoryAPP
imei
wifi
00000000.authtokcont
gyro_cal_data
h2k.dat
wv.keys
and nv_DATA.bin can't be found.
the size of all files is 174 KB

Do keep us posted about what happens next

Flash any modem, works for me

back to stock in different regions, if not work, try flash some custom roms changing patched modens and kernels

Deleted EFS folder.

Hi everyone,
I'm fairly new to the android section and I recently received a phone from a friend who deleted his EFS folder. This phone is a Samsung Galaxy Note II. I have tried various different software to restore the efs folder and unfortunately no success. Is there any possible way to restore it without sending it to Samsung?
Edit: Yes, i have flashed the stock ROM, still no luck!

Have you tried flashing a stock rom. It might recreate efs folder.

Done that, no luck.

Also have this problem on my Note 10.1 3G although I did not remove the efs partition. It just randomly started bootlooping while it was charging and I was gone and the recovery said it couldn't mount /efs from that day on. Kinda sucks since I now have a generic IMEI and the battery is draining from cell stand by, even when it's in airplane mode.

Bro I could hv done smthing f i ws dere. So nw i suggest you is flash philz recovery, go to factory reset and do a wipe to install new rom. Now install stock rom of your region from Odin. Then send it to the service center.

aw man that sucks! I'm probably going to send it to Samsung, tried absolutely everything to repair mine and no success. Hope you get your problem fixed mate!

So what brand are you using ? N7100/N7105 or anything else?
