[FIX] IMEI Backup/Restore using QPST

With the ongoing issues surrounding lost IMEI's and lost phone functionality due to a lost IMEI. It may be in all of our interests to backup the NV Data to our phones. I have provided in this thread information on how to do so. Hope it helps =)

Thanks for the guide. I got as far as starting the backup in QPST, but got an error.
SPC given could not unlock the phone. The phone will not respond for 10 seconds.
Guess I need to try on an insecure kernel, but can't find one for our phone. The two that used to be on samsung-updates.com are dead links as of right now.

I got the same SPC lock error.

I believe that is because you need the MSL. This should work for you phone credit to shiftr182 for this guide.

Thanks. Got a little further. It starts the backup, but now fails at 16% with "Roaming Lists could not be read."
Tried on both stock and insecure kernel. Tried PRL/Profile update + reboot for kicks, no change. Not sure what else to try, googling doesn't help.
edit: Do you know of anyone on Verizon that has successfully backed up? I checked their forum and they only have a guide for doing the IMEI injection. I'm assuming the 7 successful Verizon restores you have listed in your original thread are restores by injection and not from a backup?

That is correct 6 were through injection 1 was through a backup. There are however plenty of Verizon folks who were able to do the backup without any problems. They also however didn't need their MSIL and were able to use the default spc of 000000. I will have to dig a bit deeper for Sprint. I prefer us all safe and not just 3 carriers. Thank you for your efforts

Are there any reports of this happening to sprint users? Jw

did anyone try...
The option in mskips toolkit. Cant say wheather it works(as I haven't had to restore it) but it does a efs backup now. I know the imei isn't there anymore (don't know that I necessarily believe that) but don't hurt to try.

I realize this is the Sprint forum and I have a US Cellular phone my Google search landed me here. I am getting this exact message and was wondering if you have been able to get past this and get a complete backup of your IMEI. If so could you describe how you did it hopefully the info would be helpful for us USCC users.

Roaming Lists could not be read.
I put in my correct MSL. Is there a fix for this?
When attempting to do the AWS mod I get:

I now have a bricked modem due to some sort of lock. I'll flash a modem and see what happens.

I flashed a ROM and my ICCID is now listed as "unknown". Any fix for that?

Dead radios on Pac man Rom

Hello all,
I hope someone can help. I had everything working great on Pac man Rom (cm10 based). I decided to flash the 4.2 keyboard and when I rebooted the phone, my radios were dead. No calls, no mobile data. I tried the terminal fix solution slick Rick posted in the paranoid android thread but it didn't work.
Does anyone know what I can do? Please help, thank you.

I have this exact problem. After using PAC-man ROM, even after doing a full wipe and everything, and going to ParanoidAndroid, I've still got nothing whatsoever.
I've since tried restoring to a previous ParanoidAndroid NANDroid, as well as ones for the PAC-man and even the stock TouchWiz ROM, all to no avail.
I have noticed that upon the first boot after attempting to restore one of these, a process I believe is called "com.android.phone" force closes.
I would greatly appreciate any help; for reasons I won't mention, I can't fully restore to stock until tomorrow or perhaps the next day. Before then, unless this can be fixed, my phone is completely and utterly useless to me.

Is your about phone > status normal or is there values missing or unknown. IMEI, phone#, MIN etc
I like to break stuff!

So don't be mad at me but I somehow got everything working again without having to go back to TW or even flashing anything new per se. I tried a bunch of things, from flashing older nandroids, to restoring my settings from TB, etc... Nothing worked. At one point, I decided to create a nandroid of my current setup, so that I could possible flash back to it after fixing the issue in TW. I then tried to reboot, but got stuck at boot animation. I went back into TWRP, restored from the previous nandroid (not the one I just made), and magically, everything was almost working. I say almost because I got my data and calls back, but the call app kept crashing in-call. I tried fixing permissions but that didn't help. After another reboot it stopped crashing. Again, I don't know why.
What's weird is that I had restored the nandroid that ended up "working" earlier and that didn't do it then...
I don't know what I did but I am operational once more. Sorry as I know this probably doesn't help anyone...at all.
Good luck to all!

OP says he no longer has a problem, but I do, so I'll proceed.
I'm not even entirely sure what all of these things are, but when I went through the About Phone, Data, and Debug menus came up with some things:
I don't have: Signal strength (-120dBm 99 asu), Mobile network type: unknown, Service state: Out of service, Roaming: Not roaming, Mobile network state: Disconnected, My phone number: Unknown, IP address: Unavailable.
I do have: User name, ICCID, MNC, MCC, P_REV, HTTPPD things, RTSP stuff, DSS Proxy IP, mmsc Proxy, SCM, EVRC-B, Vocode stuff, ESN, HA IPs, ICCID, MEID, and IMEI.
My device status is modified.
I think that I have an IMEI means that I'm not totally boned like (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1997150), but I'm still not sure what to do at the moment.
All of this is from the stock (albeit rooted) TW ROM NANDroid from before I'd done anything more with TWRP than this backup.
Where should I go from here?
EDIT: One thing I've tried to do is flash the TK8 modem, to no effect.

Ok this is what I did to fix this problem and it was the only thing that brought me back 100%
First you need your MSL. To get it download terminal emulator over wifi or thru pc and sideload it.
To get the MSL after you get terminal emulator installed: open dialer and type ##3282# then click edit. Type 000000 in place of the MSL then back out of dialer. Open terminal emulator and type getprop ril.MSL (case sensitive) and copy the 6-digit code thst shows on the next line.
Now that you have the MSL its time to fix the problem:
Open dialer again and type ##786# select reset and enter your MSL, let it do its thing and automatically reboot. Once it boots up your signal bars should be back and you should now have generic sprint info where all the unknown values are.
Now go to settings > activate device and let it do hands free activation.
After HFA finishes open dialer again and type ##72786# and select edit, enter your MSL. Now you need to enter your phone # and MIN in their respective fields. The MIN should be the same as your 10-digit phone # enter both with no spaces or symbols example: 0000000000 then back out of dialer and reboot. You should now be fully operational.
Basically what you are doing is master resetting the device and manually reprovisioning, reprogramming and reactivating your device to regain your missing NVdata
Edit: if for some reason your MIN isn't a match to your phone #(this happens rarely but does happen one of my lines has a different MIN than #) after you get everything else done, call sprint or hop on chat and ask them to reprovision your device and they will go over all the same steps with you ad I did but give you the proper value for MIN if its different than#. If it's the same the steps I listed above will have you fixed

Absolutely fantastic! My phone works again! Im even using it to type this message.
How important is it that my MIN be identical to my phone number? It's not, but my phone (calls, sms, data) works perfectly regardless.
Regardless, you are awesome. Thanks so much!

Only matters if they are supposed to be HFA will usually set those for u but I had the chameleon and HFA errors when I did mine and had to do them manually. My personal line the match but my work line they are different. That's how I knew theres a chance they aren't the same and if the MIN didnt work to just call sprint and ask to reprovision your phone :thumbup:

For what it's worth, after a shut down and reboot my phone is having this problem again. None of my nandroids fix this. I'm on cm so I can't do the fix posted above.
Going to flash back to stock tonight when I get home and start from scratch.

Let me rephrase what I understood:
The hands-free activation that automatically initiates after the radios/modem/whatever are hard-reset will usually properly configure everything.
You had "chameleon errors". (What are chameleon errors? Were they caused by the same thing (PAC-man or another rotten ROM)?
You have two different Sprint handhelds; on one, the MIN and phone number match, on one, they don't.
If it's working, I'm good.
Regardless, thanks very much for helping me to restore my phone to proper working order!

From going back to ljc from lk8 you get HFA on every boot and chameleon apk force closes randomly
Edit: amd yes if you're working you're good. The HFA got your provisioning done correctly. I had to manually do mine from HFA failing part way thru. And yes there are 5 lines on my account 4 all have the same MIN as phone# one has a different MIN same area code entirely different last 7 digits

That's interesting. My MIN is completely unrelated to my phone number, and also to my area code, and also to any place's area code I've ever lived.
There seems to be no similarity whatsoever. Hm.

Disclaimer: what ever you do to your phone is on you! me or nobody will be responsible if your phone get mess up or die... it will be up to you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This only work if your Data profile is missing which is why you lost data otherwise its something else that broke it.
You need!!!!
To be on stock.
The msl password.
Copy the Data profile down or the whole thing... in case you rom in missing more information which the phone need to communicate to the service. Since some rom cant read data profile you need to reprogram the phone you seft.Just put the data profile info back in and enable lte.
Note: if something is missing just add it back in.
1_Flash your rom and dial ##3282#
2_ In the "edit" program put your msl password
3_add your phone info. back in
4_ restart your phone
5_ in setting / update/ update profile.... just update the profile and you are good to go.
If you want the msl password root your phone and download get my msl at the android market then try to put a ramdom msl password then go back to the msl app the try it again
Dont forget to thank.

I'm sure he meant, "...AND DIAL ##3282#"

Yeah It will work if your rom support it...
If not find out how to get the programming to work so that you can dial the ##3282# and program your phone from there. In cm10.1 or other nonexistent programming you may have to add the hidden file back in which the developers removed for a reason.

Yes, when changing carriers, it is called flashing. ##72786# is a network reset, which should give you your MSL back.

I can get on internet but no mms or calls. Can I fix this thru my phone or do I have to use cdma tools (which I do not have on my laptop or really familiar with). I had it flashed at a local phone shop. I would greatly appreciate If you could point me in the direction to fix this rookie error

I believe there might be a way to update the PRL via the phone, but I'm not positive and I've never done it.
I don't think it would be terribly difficult for you to update the PRL via dfs demo (I can give you a link to it)... all you do is find your SPC for your phone, and use that along with another password (there are 2 that I know of for Sprint phones) to unlock the phone for flashing in dfs demo, go to a specific tab, load PRL file from computer, and press the write button.

Yes that's sounds good, could you please post the link

so i decided to become a big boy and fix my own problem lol, so if anyone needs easy fix here is what i did.
1. I installed cdmaflashingtool and samsung drivers at cdmaflasher dot com/Downloads/index.php cant post urls yet
2. called cricket for MIN which they provided at no hassle
3. followed the instructions from flashingtools that they provide ( software is free, cause i basically needed a half flash )
