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?

No, it's a Telus. I know I messed up but is there a way to fix this. I've tried to flash back to stock and my IMEI shows "0", no SMS or calling available too...

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.

Hi, Thanks for helping me. I have not backed up the IMEI and do not have EFS. I have tried those instructions and I have one problem. I cannot find my phone in the "COM" Ports. There's simply nothing there related to my phone.

Did you make sure you put your phone into RMNET +DM + MODEM mode before trying to find your phone in the COMs?

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.

Well if you have problems still and the imei is back, I don't see why there's anything wrong with taking it to the store to get it checked out.

I am in the same boat. Slow connection, rarely actually works. Had lost my imei, but restored it with the NV whatever.. Saved my QCN using QPST, then tried to use QCN restorer app, and am getting an error occurred blah blah.
I brought it in to AT&T yesterday, had a full restore completed and new sim card installed... no luck. guess i will keep trying stuff until its either bricked or back to normal haha

Since IMEI spoofing is illegal in most country, the IMEI is most likely encrypted. I don't know how it is input on the Optimus G, but I had an issue back with my Galaxy S, and let me tell you, just hope you have a backup!!

JTAG is a tool, made by RIFF, not just a software.Any respectable gsm service has one.Rewriting software with JTAG costs between 10 and 20 euros,depending on the phone.At least here in Romania it costs this much.Don't know other countries.
Bottom line, writing the IMEI it's not a DIY job.it can be done only with proper tools,on a specialised center.
I think there would be another way,but i'm not sure, you need to talk to shelnutt or autoprime to confirm or not.
If the EFS backup from other phone can be decompiled,and the IMEI section is find,change the existing imei on that backup with yours, recompile and restore it with freegeee.i repeat,this is just a theory.
Another question,what method did you use to unlock bootloader?

Even with a samsung, if you'd screwed the partitions real good, you'd lose everything, even the backup.

You can try it, but most likely not.
You would need to decrypt the file, replace with your IMEI and encrypt it. copy it and it "would" work, theorically.
OR, you could call your provider and ask them if they can do it. Might not be worth the hassle!

Yes I can resolve sending the phone in service...But my wife told me "don't to do that""
For me will a victory if I rewrite my Imei because in the future i will change new rom... and want learn how to...
how I can enter in Diag Mode?
you're not sending it for waranty, the "waranty" was void when you changed the rom. If your provider gets to know that they will void it "officialy".
You may contact the service to know if they can rewrite an EMEI, and ask them how much they charge for it.
The FIRST thing you should do before installing a custom rom is a backup of the EFS partition:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2161611
or, if you have installed freeGee, you might already have a backup in the FreeGee folder in img format
If not, then you will need to open thoses .img, edit them with your IMEI and reflash them
Not that easy.i didn't find any tool to decompile those images into workable stuff.like i said,maybe you will find more help on irc channel.asking will not hurt

Hello guys, I really need help here.
I use a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 GT-N7100, it was working fine until I decided to Root it using the All-in-One Toolkit which also worked fine after Rooting. I later decided to flash a Custom ROM (CM 10.1 - Android 4.2.2) so I did a TWRP Nandroid Backup then flashed the ROM. I was disappointed by the new ROM especially the Camera Quality so i chose to go back to old ROM.
I tried Restoring the backup but it kept failing, so I flashed a stock ROM, re-Rooted the phone and tried the Restore again. When it finally worked and I got the phone running, there was a very big problem: SERVICE STATE: Out of Service & MOBILE NETWORK STATE: Disconnected. I cant make calls, Cant send SMS nor surf the Internet. I really don't know how to go around this, I tried Factory Reset but no Success.
Help Please.

The first 4 digits of the IMEI shown is 0049
Which i have noticed are different from the IMEI shown behind the phone itself.
0049 is a generic imei which means your efs is corrupt.. did you take a efs backup like all the rooting and custom rom guides say to take once rooted.

Check your sd card for a folder Named EFS. If not you can try flashing stock rom via odin which some people have succesfully revived there phones with.

There are loads of guides on here @Xda For this problem. You can use the search feature and type note 2 lost imei and the guides will pop up.. if your not familiar with odin you can use kies but you will need to purchase triangle away. Then unroot to connect to kies..

I had erased everything from the SD card and Internal storage :crying::crying::crying:
i have also tried the Stock ROM but there is no success.
Isnt there a way maybe that I can get the efs from another phone or download a backup? Or can the phone be revived by any custom ROM out there? :crying::crying:
The only method for you then is to purchase triangle away from play store. You should be able to use wifi. Open triangle away reset flash counter. Then in super su go to full unroot. Then open kies and click tools click firmware initialisation I think it is and enter the model number and serial number of your phone. Get this from under battery. Accept the kies download and wait for reboot. Some people have had success with this but yiu defo need to purchase triangle away to reset your counters. Without reset kies will not work..
Edit: just been looking and apparently once youve installed newer roms you cant revert to anything before dmf firmware. Unless you had your efs backup..

It should support. Did you use triangleaway and unroot through super su. If kies detects any mods such as root or custom recoveries it will not work..

No one is going to give you a copy of there efs.
Youve tried odin it didnt work..
I tried helping you through kies that didnt work. You cant restore something you never had or deleted.
I know this sounds harsh but your gonna have to pay money to get your note running again like so many other people who didn't take the time to read the guides and tutorials before getting flash happy.. I hate to say it but youve learnt the hard way..

What have you done to the phone?
Most of the time there is a sticker under the battery.
Yeah but what do i use to get the imei back inside the phone instead of just the sticker
Will donate if somebody can help me figure this out..
Isn't this that efs backup stuff talked about in the PurpleDrake thread?

As Skizzy034 noted you'll need to have performed an EFS backup. You can either flash the zips you made or use ADB to restore the partition.
Or call t mobile and tell em your phone does not work right and get replacement. You still never said what happened? What did you do right before issue happened?
I believe I saw a efs recovery method in the lg g2 forum but it looked like a long process and it might not even work for our phone. If I was you I would try to find it quick because normally anything that can potentially spoof imei numbers gets deleted when a moderator notices it.

That's of no help unless somebody comes out with a method for restoring without a backup (I've seen it done with a couple devices). Until that happens, unfortunately there's not a lot you can do with the device.
Do a search for a member by the name Odia, I messed mine up before on another phone and He helped me restore withbout any backup. This was before I ever heard of efs

What about if your phone has the WRONG imei number after flashing a ROM? Does that matter? The phone still works.
I don't have any info on being able to help but this is a prime example of why you take the few extra steps and back up. Most of the time I'll admit, in fact I have never needed mine but on those rare occasions its literally a phone saver.

Same happened to me! Did you fixed it or send it back for repair?
Editing the IMEI in any way is illegal and against our rules. The only allowed way is to have a backup. Anything else is not allowed here.
Also do not Suggest people send the device in to be repaired under warranty. This is Fraud and also not allowed.

try flashing your official firmware through Odin. other users solve their imei problem by doing that. see also if you can access engineering mode with that official firmware.

lets wait for others specially those who are expert in android for some advice. I'm just an ordinary security guard so i can't help you much with your problem. what i have suggested you from my previous post was the last thing I did when my phone finally worked. for 4 days i been searching for solution because i also have an IMEI problem. i flash back to official rom, flash patched modem, flash other roms to no avail until such time when my phone doesn't boot because of broken partition :laugh:. if you still have warranty restore it back. if you're already out of warranty and you have money, you can it send it to service center.
P.S.
you can also try this if you have courage. i was able to make some secret codes work but i have'nt tried if it works with engineering mode by modifying hiddenmenu in /efs/carrier/hiddenmenu. use efs explorer to open hiddenmenu and change it to ON.save it and restart your phone and see if engineering mode work. remember that you have to be in official firmware and also rooted to do this. if its not working then you'll just have to wait for a much better solutions from devs.
Same question
