Oooh dear !

The only way you will be able to access the network is by fixing your imei number. And to do that you will need time and a lot of patience including reading through the instructions carefully. Just search the forums there are numerous cases related to lost/corrupt imei. Good luck.

No.

Theres a thread around that asks/answers this question.
It will require you to have root access, since it sends commands through sqlite3, if i remember correctly.

Hi all,
Does anyone have any idea where the nv_data.bin file (or equivalent) resides on the Tmo SGS3? On most other Samsung devices, including the International SGS3, it is in the /efs partition. However, this file is curiously absent on the Tmo variant.
Thanks!
as far as im aware, the location is still unknown
Check in peoplearmy's and geek's threads about imei. Your answer may be known by one of them, I just dont remember for sure or id tell you here.

Yup those are the ones. If you dont find your answer you can probably PM peoplearmy. Ive heard about him helping a lot of people so he may be your best bet if all searching and posting fails.
Dont forget to hit the thanks button in their threads! They both deserve that and more for the work they've done here!

You can just back it up before you root your phone, but I haven't seen anything posted last couple days.

You back it up before rooting? How would I go about doing this? Thanks
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
Only thing I've really seen regarding the imei in the past few weeks are threads asking if its still a problem!
Imo, at this point its just not really worth worrying about.
It probably will happen again and probably will never really be solved, but we have the ability to backup and restore now and both cwm and twrp have since been updated.
Its just not as big an issue anymore as people seem to think.
Just how I see it anyway.
Don't let the imei bug ruin your fun!

use that. i think this is the standard for backing up your IMEI. i just rooted today after holding off because of this issue. i havn't flashed anything yet but i have gone through most of the major ROM forums and nothing pertaining to the search term "IMEI" has popped up in the past few days besides just asking about it. I am still a tiny bit apprehensive on flashing just because of the potential issues and the fact that this phone works pretty well on its own. things were so much easier in the MT4G days ha.
There's also a thread by peoplearmy that should be linked in geeks thread as well.
If you're to nervous about what could happen, you should probably just skip rooting altogether. Not trying to be rude, but all things dealing with root come with risk. The number of imei losses is really quite low when you think about how many people have rooted dozens of times with no issues.
Id bet there have been more bricked S3's due to flashing international roms than there have been imei problems.
Just thought id try to add a little perspective!
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Hey would you mind linking the people army thread? I feel like rooting usually comes with risk but that risk is generally user error and a inability to read instructions or use common sense. This imei issue however is scary because no matter how careful you are it could get lost. I have even read about people after losing their imei and restoring it still not getting 4g

I've seen a ton of guides including the k tool which won't work on our T-Mobile version? My backup was done automatically when I flashed something else so now I have an efs backup file I can't figure out what to do with. Thought it was a simple flash through odin but that isn't the case it seems, and the nv viewer keeps not opening. Thanks again.

Ok, every thing on the t-mobile sgs3 xda thread should work for our phone...so if you try anything else I guess that's your fault. Also nothing backs up when you flash it you have to make a back up with your recovery. Also if you read any of the stickied guids before you rooted you would have known odin had nothing to do with imei.. you can PM me for more help

Definitely something to think about. I've read that even tho you can backup your imei, some of those that has restored, began having problems with extremely slow data service.

OK....I understand what odin is I've been doing this stuff for a couple years so I also understand the importance of reading everything I can. I assumed since the efs file is a .tar file it was as simple as flashing it through odin. Again I will scour the site to find the right tools and procedure . I am looking at the correct file its an efs backup .tar.gz file? Thanks again and is there one specific link that is a proven working guide?

Yea this imei stuff can be confusing but for guides how to back up and restore look at my post in the first page of this thread. Its a guide how to back up, restore, and create an imei ifn you didnt back up but lost it.

Has anyone, that has backed up with the su > reboot nvbackup, reported that they have lost their IMEI?
I just lost my IMEI and like an idiot I never backed it up. Is there a method for re-injecting it without a backup or am I screwed?
Check peoplearmy and geeks threads.
Check in dev section.

Hello, ok i need some help, i was running my at&t galaxy s3 on cyanogenmode 10.1 RC4, upgraded it to RC5, out of the sudden my IMEI was gone, super poor signal and very limited connection. I went back to factory settings thinking it would help, needless to say nothing happened.
Does anybody knows a way to fix that issue?
