Can I restore the imei? I have already rooted and flashed my phone.

Rooted my gn on the night I bought it and flashed cm. Someone said in XDA that in order to restore imei, I had to backup a file before I flash the phone (I didn't do that )?
Does it mean I lost my warranty? :banghead: pls help.

Assuming you have a generic imei (0049 something) due to a permanent sim-unlock to an originally locked phone?
If that's the case, run the apk here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1548210 and you should get your imei back

My phone doesn't has a similar lock. I flashed my phone coz I want to use cm ROM. When I check setting, about phone, status, the imei no. shown is not the same as the correct one.

Hi, Which is this toolkit that you are talking about ? can you give me the link. I bought a galaxy nexus from playstore and my imei is unknown ever since i did an OTA update to jelly bean. And in India since this phone is not yet available, they are not willing to help me too..

I am facing the same problem on my Google Nexus GT-I9250M. Bought the phone in US through playstore and back in India now. After the OTA update to Jelly Bean 4.1.2 IMEI number is blank. Did you find a solution to this? any guidance would be helpful

Help lost efs data.

I'm an idiot and clicked clear efs while using Odin. Is there anything I can do? I still have the correct imei so that's good news. I have no backup. Also 4g works fine just no cdma. Vzw nexus btw.

What do you mean that you still have the correct imei? Do you have a stored copy of it or just have the number from the back of the phone?

When I go to about phone it shows the imei from the back of the phone.

Should just be able to call Verizon and have them reactivate it. If it's anything like Sprint you would just have to update profile after they do. Just a guess.

lOkay so here is an update. Like i said earlier I have the correct imei under about phone. I installed aokp jb so i can achieve root. I used rootexplorer to find /efs its not there.
Just a heads up you can use any old cable to fastboot. The oem cable is the only one i could get to work with adb.

Days Later:
Problem resolved. You need QPST v2.7.378 and SGS3 QCN Generator (Peoplearmy). Although both I believe was created for the I535 (Verizon) it resolved my problem in which I'm able to get 3g/4g on my phone (T999) using the AT&T network after I repaired the IMEI.

Can you still see this thread? It says invalid thread specified for me.
I've been looking for this problem for almost a month and almost every xda thread link people post is dead.
Been stuck on Edge for almost a month, so finding these links that supposedly solve everything and then seeing they are not accesible to me is very frustrating. :/
Thanks in advance.

Need Help ASAP. No Service on S3

So I have a Telus I747M (Canadian) and I used ROM Manager to get CWM 6 on my phone. The thing is that I chose the Metro PCs version and I installed it. Now I have no signal at all. I flashed the firmware back to the stock telus one via USB and Odin. Still no service, anything to do now?

are you sure you flashed the right stock rom? Stupid question but it's always best to check. And did you get your phone from Metro or did you unlock it?

Try flashing any rom (like Cyanogenmod) and then use any of the many methods to re-unlock your phone to Metro and see if that helps.

If your IMEI shows 0, no amount of flashing will help you. You must restore you IMEI to have data working again. If you backed up your IMEI or EFS folder your set, just restore it.

Great reply, but yeah, I'm left with the same problem of slow connectivity. Same problem as linked post, and followed his process to the letter. Oh well, spent most of my Sunday trying to fix this. As long as I can make calls and transceive texts, that'll have to do.

[Q] HELP

Hi,
I will like to know something, I have a samsung galaxy note 2 which I rooted. After that I had it unlocked.
The problem now is I am on a 3 network in the UK but now my signal bars are full but I cant make any call or receive any call.
When I try to make a call, I get a error message stating ( mobile network not available). Is it because I rooted and unlocked thats why I am not being able to use my simcard?
Please any help will do or do I have to send it to repairs because I have tried to root again but I have lost the SuperSu and other stuff.
Please help.

I have not installed any ROM, when I unlocked it everything disappeared I don't have SuperSu,Titanium backup and all the apps I installed.
I now installed triangle way but it doesn't work anymore.
I am thinking maybe it is only my 3network company who can properly unlock my device since it is now unlocked but cant use the same card I was using before.I tried to unroot but I found out that it will be better to root it again then try to unroot because the triangular away is not working on it now.

Or is it because I had rooted before unlocking? It just beats my imagination. I am also trying to root it again but it seems I am not being able to open odin again.
Is there anyone who can sort it out for me so I can pay if there is a price to pay because even my 3 simcard, is not getting the signal.

1.do you able to make emergency call?
If yes, device is likely locked and you need to unlock.
If your device was working fine before then try flashing stock rom for your carrier.
Another possibility is device is banned, usually happens if you purchased second hand and it is stolen
2.if you not able to make emergency call then
Check for imei
If imei is not displayed correctly like one on back of device, likely your efs folder get corrupted.

Thanks very much for your response, I have checked my IMEI at the back of my phone and the last 6 numbers/02 but when I checked with that *#06#, it is /01. I don't know if that makes such a difference.This wasn't the case when I first rooted the phone, but when I unlocked it, it all started, I don't get any signal at all, I am always getting the no signal sign on the top right corner. I also tried to root my phone again but I seem not to be able to open the odin application, I can't find any program to open it.
I want to send it back to the company but I have to reset the binary counter using triangle way but it says my phone is not rooted which is strange because I can download titanium backup but it doesn't work. I really need some help because I can't use my phone now.

What about first 15 digit when you dial *#06# ?
Does first 15digit is same as on back of device

Guys, will someone from the xda developers HELP me out here, I can't even open odin anymore with the program I was using. I want to root my phone again so I can use triangle away so I can reset the binary counter so I can return it and blame them for my network problems after unlocking my galaxy note 2 n7100.
I have tried and tried and tried but can't seem to be able to do that so if you know anyone Here in the UK or a town called Swindon in the UK please let me know so I can take it to him.
