Hello everyone, every since I first lost my imei number and regained it by unrooting my phone, I haven't been successful at swaping different roms when I root again. When I first flash a rom after I root the device and try to install another rom, I lose my imei number and I have to unroot again. I have been using philz recovery in case you are wondering. I really don't know what to do. I would like to keep my device rooted but I really don't know what to do at this point. Has anyone else had this issue? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Try loading stock again, then rooting and then a cutom ROM

Lost my both IMEI Number
When I flash this rom via CWM Lost my both IMEI Number.
Dear all,
I have searched the web and flashed my phone for over 20 times in order to fix it after my serious mistake, I got no clue and decided to ask for help here. My phone is N7105 bought in Hong Kong. I would try to describe my issue using the fewest words...
- How things happen
1, I downloaded the latest 4.3 TGY firmware from sammobile, flashed it using mobile odin pro as I want to keep the root. After that I cannot connect wifi. Searching the web revealed that this is due to the old bootloader issue as BL did not update if flash by mobile odin.
2, Biggest mistake here. I know I should try to flash the firmware again by PC odin. However as I was not able to have a PC access yesterday I decided to see if some quick fix can help. I found a wifi fix in XDA (wifi_fix_for_MJ2.rar). I know it is for N7100 not N7105, but as It stated it is a fix I though nothing harm (very wrong!!!) and flashed it. After that my phone got the wifi back but have IMEI damaged. The phone is not able to reconize my sim after that.
3, I flashed the 4.3 TGY firmware by PC odin after I got back to home. (So the bootloader is 4.3 now). IMEI still cannot be fixed and SIM cannot be read.
- What resolution I have tried
Now I fully understand what's going wrong and I tried the following fix, but they all not working.
A, Using PC odin to flash the latest 4.1.2 firmware. This not working as odin refuse to flash, should be the 4.3 bootloader prevented this.
B, Using PC odin to get root and CWM <- OK. And then got a 4.1.2 firmware in CWM update zip format, put it in ext sd card and flash it in CWM <- OK. My phone seems to downgrad to 4.1.2. IMEI still damaged, no SIM. And phone is unstable (may hang after a while if it put idle, need reboot). Although it is 4.1.2 now I think the BL is still 4.3, as I still can't flash any 4.1.2 firmware by PC odin. And everytime I flash 4.1.2 firmware by PC odin it will appear fail on screen, and also render my phone dead. My phone would then cannot boot up and require to flash a 4.3 firmware again...
C, Tried to use Kie firmware restore feature. It flashed the 4.3 firmware but can't fix the IMEI issue.
D, Tried the EFS Professional but I don't know how to use it as I don't have a EFS backup before.
E, I got a param.bin from a thread of XDA (not sure if it is a good one or not, but the writer said it is for N7105). I flashed it using PC odin, status unchanged. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47861647&postcount=242&nocache=1&z=8137774079208057)
- What help I am seeking for
1, Any EFS backup from you for N7105 which I can try? Maybe I can edit my own IMEI no. inside it?
2, Any way to restore the EFS data from flash?
3, Anyway to get back to a true 4.1.2 BL such that I can free to use PC odin to try different 4.1.2 rom? Currently I can only try to obtain CWM zip rom and it did not help.
4, Any other way which you can suggest?
Thank you so much for reading my help request...:crying:

Yes, it helped!
I searched this thread before but it was intended for I9305 but not N7105, so I did not apply the fix before. But the file Param_Bin_I9305.tar turn out worked for N7105!
Still if there is a way to downgrade my BL to 4.1.2 I am very much appreciated.
It helped for my issue also.
Quick description what was my situation as it may help others:
Got a N7105 with a 4.1.2 ROM. For some reason installed rom for a AT&T version 4.4.2. Got a NULL/NULL imei and no wifi, mobile or anything on phone.
Trying to resolve the issue installed stock rom 4.3 (from sammobile) and stuck on loading screen. Few attempts later and waiting at least 20 min after each odin installation I've lost all hope. Installed ParamBin file from the mentioned thread and what a surprise - phone booted and all is working fine.
Thanks for this post, saved me.
Hello,
I have a problem with my phone after downgrading from lollipop to 4.4. I did something wrong when I used the odin to downgrade. I put the tar.md5 file in the (BL) not (AP). So now the phone shows Unknown IMEI and the is no Service.
Please need help:crying::crying::crying:
Flash it again put tar in the right section. I REVERTED back to 4.4 TWICE with no issues.

Hey friends I have a problem.
I was running on 4.1.2 on my note 2.
I am from India.
Then I tried to flash lollipop ROM after I rooted it and installed custom recovery. I installed new ROM.
It was great but I lost my efs partition and so does imei.
So to recover imei I flashed stock ROM via Odin but during that time I made mistake I flashed France firmware of 4.4.2 so in Odin it failed.
Now phone doesn't booting up just Samsung screen and immediately off then on again.
I can go to downloading mode but not in recovery mode.
Please help me and if I can get it back via Odin then please send me link of Indian firmware
Thanks anyway..

Hey Guys,
So i recently flashed from stock to CM13 via TWRP Recovery which was installed via Odin.
After doing this my device is now almost operating perfectly (Exceptionally better than it performed on Stock),
except i now get Baseband Unknown, IMEI Unknown and IMEI SV Unknown.
- Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini GT-I9190
- I do not have any backups of /efs! (sorry!)
- I have my IMEI number written down
Any Solutions to this ?
Thanks in Advance,
Dizzy.
How about you use kies and flash the stock rom?

Can you please elaborate, i'm not sure what kies does or how to use it,
I have tried flashing couple stock roms and all had the same problem.
Install Samsung kies(jellybean) or kies 3(for kitkat). Then click on tool tab and click on firmware upgrade and initialisation. Enter the phone model and S/No as shown on the back of your phone. and it will download your stock rom which might help you restore your imei.
