using Galaxy Tab S t705
IMEI has been changed to 004999010640000/01
what I did:
1. I came from CM12.1
2. I flashed lollipop stock Rom
3. I've noticed that even if it has full signal bar, it shows that "emergency calls only"
4. I checked my IMEI and yes it has been changed
how to restore my IMEI
I got not backup of my Working EFS
That's the default imei when the EFS partition is corrupted or wiped. Its not the first time I've heard this happening with cm 12.1
If you didn't make a backup there's not a lot you can do.
i'm doomed

maybe I should return it to where I bought it
I fixed it!
I remember that I got a backup of a ROM with working IMEI, so basically I just Restored it from TWRP and as a result it has my IMEI back again.
NOTE: ALWAYS BACKUP YOUR EFS/FULL ROM IF YOU ARE GOING TO DO ANYTHING TO YOUR TABLET

Hi guys,
I hope you pleeeease can help me I am desperate. Turns out today I Got a new N7100 because my old one was broken so the guarantee gave me a new one. When I returned home, i made a restore backup from my old phone into the new one and by muistake (stupid stupid mistake) I didn´t backup mi EFS folder, so now the phone is not working and giving me a generic IMEI....
Please tell me that there is a way to fix it without the EFS backup... I am just about to cry here
Thanks and sorry my bad english!
Try flashing a stock rom via odin. If that doesn't fix it you're screwed I'm afraid.

I always make backups of my EFS but I don't know exactly what it is for and how they work. If someone gives you a backup of their EFS will it work or is it related to the machine?

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
I have the same problem, as owner of the thread. Any help?

Lock in eBay, offer the remote imei repair
Since you're rooted, Samsung won't even reflash it. Sucks.

The only way for a user to restore their IMEI is to have done a backup originally before attempting to do any changes.
You need to take the device go the carrier for repair.
Altering changing or manipulating IMEI numbers on devices is illegal in some places and not something allowed for discussion on XDA.

Hello I had Protax installed everything ran perfectly. But I installed the stockrom again. But then my IMEI was 0. I installed LineageOS and my IMEI was still 0. So I installed Xposed with an IMEI changer and changed my IMEI. And when I * # 06 # calls is also my right IMEI there. But in the settings my IMEI is 0. I can not make any calls or log in to the network. What can I do?
I think you cant do anything without efs partition backup
hi !
have you tried to flash a firmware with odin ? but with "re-partition" for a full restoration...
Or by a PC ,with smart swift or kies you have a process of restoration after a fail and errors...
i had that issue with my old s2 and a technique in a store got it fixed i gave him the box and he did it
