Entered wrong IMEI through QPST accidently. How do I correct?

Phone: GS3 T-Mobile
Lost IMEI while flashing and it showed 0. So I tried to fix it by following this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1802024
However, during the process, I accidentally injected wrong number in the QPST. (And found out after the wrong IMEI had already been injected into my phone).
Now, my phone has wrong IMEI number. How do I fix?
Thanks guys,
Ken

Could you not go through the process again...entering the correct IMEI? Not trying to be facetious.

You need a spcial box to that ... cant say more

To do what he/she has already done without the box? You don't need a special box to modify the IMEI. I suggest you read more.

does your phone work though?
do you still get hspa+ and whatnot. Calling blahblah? If it works don't worry about it fo rnow.

IMEI = 0

Hi Everyone, Can someone please help me into figuring out how to inject my stock IMEI back into the phone. After flashing, my IMEI was erased and turned to 0.
I have read and tried to use QPST and the RF NV Manager, but QPST is not reading my phone. (Yes I'm in modem mode and RMNET + DM + MODEM). If someone could jsut help me into figuring out how to get QPST to read my phone, i Will be able to inject it.
My phone is Telus Samsung Galaxy S3 SGH-I747M.
Thank YOU

Nailed it!!!!!!!!! My 4g is back again

Last week, I did the most stupid thing on my note 2 (SGH-t889). I saw a rom that i liked for the n7100 and flashed on my 889v. Of course, rom works fine but no DATA OR VOICE :crying:crying:
So I flashed my phone with my previous rom and I had data again. All of a sudden, after installing all my apps, I lost the connection. My phone went completely crazy
i saw unknown baseband on settings / phone status; phone rebooted itself. I tried to flash a stock rom, or even flash the 889v modem on any rom and no luck; i was on a constant boot loop
I had to flash another modem from T-Mobile to get out of boot looping (MODEM: T889UVALL4_Modem-Jan_16_13-teshxx) but i couldn't get on any network even if I my phone could detect them (I'm on Videotron).
I've searched xda and other sitEs for solution on how to fix an almost empty esf folder. On a tmo modem my emei was 0 0 and on videotron modem it was null.
SOLUTION
My efs folder was almost empty; no nv_data.bin and those other files.
I went across this site
http://galaxynote2root.com/galaxy-note-2-tutorials/how-to-enable-t-mobile-3g4g-aws-bands-on-att-galaxy-note-2-sgh-i317/
It's a tutorial on how to enable aws on the AT&T note 2. It had just what i needed: a qcn file. Ive follwed the directions on the site; flashed the qcn file with the QPST software and rebooted the phone. My emei was a bunch of 0. No signal still but the battle wasn't loss.

I've used the EMEI NVitem generator to create en encrypted file of my EMEI
Put it on the the NV reader / writer, reboted the phone
And VOILA!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i got my signal back but with a tmo modem (MODEM: T889UVALL4_Modem-Jan_16_13-teshxx)
my 4g is back and my gps is working flawwless
Now, just to let you know, I'm not a developer and i take no credit for this. Even if this thread get approved or deleted, I just wanted to help other members like me who are stuck on the same situation (especially 889v owners). At the end.... MY PHONE IS BACK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ohhhh! i allmost forgot....

Here you go.

Wow. I followed your steps to the letter and it worked, thank you so much!!
Have you flashed back to a VTR modem or would that mess everything up? Thanks again for your help.

From past experience flashing the videotron modem would bring me back to boot loop, wouldnt lose imei or signal but would start then after 30secs reboot.. Im stuck with tmo modem. Works fine but signal seems a little weaker.

i have canadian note2 t889v that i got from craigs the other day. everything seemed fine, didnt have sim to try for mobilicity that im on (aws band), he said he used it with rogers fine
I put the sim card, went to search networks but my provider was not listed there. So I rooted the phone , loaded twrp, flashed prerooted factory rom for t889v ( from mrrobins) , no network, than i flashed original factory rom, still no luck, than i flashed t889v modem and still the same.
My imei is present, and matches one on back of the phone. My efs folder is there and is populated (dont know if anything is missing from there)
I dont have backup of efs or imei. What are the chances it is corrupted ? Does anyone have any suggestion, and should i try this method to try to fix it ?

You may have to put your apn settings manually for your carrier. I would try that to start.

Have you check the *#2263# menu to make sure it is on the correct band, also in network setting you can switch to gsm, wcdma, so on. As for imei as far as I know if it were corrupt your imei would be bad. Is it possible the phone has been blacklisted?

That code dont work in stock dialer. And mobilicity dont block imei #

N7105 factory mode

Hi guys, i seriously need help here. Please refer to attached screenshot.
I came here after flashing sokp 4.2.2 rom, and it prompted me an error saying encryption was unsuccessful. After which, i wasnt able to use my phone since then.
I tried to flash stock rom, and I end up with this. Please dont tell me to search the forums because Ive been to them countless times. I suppose this is a efs issue, because baseband and imei are unknown and I do not have a backup for it. Tried with the writing tool for imei, doesnt work as well.
Pls ask me for any info u might need/i missed out to help with this issue.

I think it's in the efs folder, you have to use a root browser and edit factory mode to off instead of on. It's been a long time since I saw factory mode so I'm not 100%

Thanks for your reply. But even if I off factory mode, will the baseband and imei be unknown?

I'm not sure but if it doesn't the 2 things that might be worth trying are, emergency firmware recovery with kies or mskips toolkit has a rescue package but I think you have to go to skipsoft.net now as the thread was closed
Sent from my GT-N7105 using Tapatalk

It's current value is "OFF"...u have to write "ON"...i know it sounds weird but that is the value. Amd if u don't have any previous back up of EFS then there's nothing u can do at home to bring it back. Same thing happened to mine and i got it repaired from a local shop for cheap...they used z3x box...the problem is my IMEI is correct and network works fine...but everytime i flash a ROM i have to take it to the shop and get the modem patched or else it doesn't connect to network. So go to Samsung service centre and get it fixed by them...they'll charge u more but their fix is permanent.

Alright, it seems like i have a backup of the efs, bt the nv_data.bin file is not included, and i read on other threads that this file is responsible for the imei and all? This backup is dated in aug2013, but it doesnt help in restoring my phone because the efs pro software doesnt see this as a backup file. Im actually looking for one of the thread that actually taught how to edit the nv_data.bin file, but no luck till date.

Hello,
I have been unlocking for a while but have ran into issues lately with z3x and 4.3 on i747. Basically everyime i use 23x box something goes wrong last night it started with an extra number being inserted in the imei. Not knowing that ns pro will wreck your modem i tried it and now the imei is null and baseband is unknown. Any help would greatly be appreciated. There was alot i did not know about unlocking because i got into this with ns pro back when there was 0 problmes with anyhting below 4.3, but now 4.3 is killing me.
Here is what i have done
i have tried to rewrite imei mulitple times
i have tried qpst with a good know qcn fiel but it just error out. everytime
the problem
*#7284# shows up but wont allow me to switch between modem andpda
phone will not read in either z3x or ns pro
it would seem like tis not reading in qpst either as it wont allo me to restore any of the good know files
i just really want to be done with this and move on.
Another question i have is int he furute if i do a full nv backup with nv reader writer will this help at all. Like is said i am only having this problem ont he 747 and i have searched xda, ns pro, and z3x forums for an answer and i cant seem to find one. My next step is just to replace the baseband chip and be done, but that alot of work and i hate reballing any bga.

NULL IMEI doesn't mean you've actually lost your IMEI
try take sim out, restart phone and then reinsert sim, and if that doesn't work, restart again with your sim inside
and also when you reinject imei(say whatever i said above doesn't work for you), make sure under developer option, usb debugging is on!

Looks like your modem is compromised. You can download the modem via the following link and try reflashing recovery.

No, it's a zip file which has to be flashed via (custom) recovery. If you do not have custom recovery, you can flash that to your phone via Odin. There are several options for custom recovery but most common options are CWM, TWRP and Philz Touch which is an enhancement of CWM.
First download the modem file to your computer. Copy it to your phone's internal SD card if you can or to an external (micro) SD card.
Once you have the zip ready, boot your phone into recovery mode via the 3-button combo (Volume Up, Home and Power).
When you are in recovery mode, select install and navigate to the modem zip. Start flashing. Wait for flashing to be complete and reboot to system. I'd have sent you some download links for custom recovery but I'm writing this in a fly. You could, however, do a search through this forum.

Larry thank you so much it actually worked in case someone lese has this problem im going to post waht i did
i downloaded the file
flashed the modem.bin file via twrp. I just put it on the phone i did not use the sd card
then i rewrote the imei with ns pro verision 6.7.1 (this phone was on 4.3)
i know have my imei back, and i know also i have the phone in 100 percent working condition with a full imei.
TAKE MY ADVICE AND BACK UP THE NV ITEMS before doing a s3 747 or 999 on z3 box just in case. I have spent close to 3 days trying to fix these phones.
Thank you Larry so very very much. If you have a link to paypal i will donate to you.

alos if you are going to install the file to your phone remeber to put it back into mtp+adb so you can move it your phone with out an sd card

ok so after completeting this you will only get edge network download the nv writer and nv items from the link below and then you will get 4g lte back

Glad to know your phone is working fine now. Maybe I should put up a donation link. Just kidding ... seriously though, if you are happy with the support you are getting from the forum and make a donation to XDA, you'd be helping to keep the forum going.

Thanks for the help to both you guys!!!
