Hey!
I got a Galaxy S3 and a guy should help me to unlock it. After he tried he removed my IMEI for some reason.
I tried go get it back after reading this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1804117&page=19
My problem is when I use the code to change USB setting Im not having all these things in my phone. So what can I do easily to configure my phone with my IMEI number. This phone is not locked or stolen or anything. I got a real IMEI number on the phone and on the box. Ive tried everything. Can someone please tell me what I can do? All guides doesnt help me... Im stuck!
This code *#7284# before I didnt even get that.. But now I downloaded a new stock rom from sammobile.com but could it be a later one? I dont get the settings as the manual?
Can anyony try to explain for me what to do? Sorry for my bad english
Thanks guys!

There should be options to fix your imei within a custom rom
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.
Thanks in Advance

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.

Larry thank you so much for your help, and i am embarrased to say this but i dont know how to do that. Is it a file i put into the pda section of odin and put the phone in download mode.

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!!!
hello ,
yesterday i woke up to find my note2 not working saying insert sim card
and when i tried to check imei it says null null
i never tried to install rom or root my phone , i just bought it 2 weeks ago
i've searched all the forums and found that people only get that error when they try to flash their device but i didnt .. it just suddenly happened
would you please guide me to fix it ?
my phone is galaxy note 2 N7100 and it has 4.3 jellybean
I suggest you to take your phone back. I think it is a hardware problem. You can do nothing for that. If your phone was rooted and has a backup of your original efs partition (IMEI) only than it is possible to recover your IMEI.

that phone was shipped to me from dubai and it has no warranty .. i cant do that
Oh thats bad. You must find a service who has good knowledge about Android phones. Did you checked your phone after you received it. Maybe the phone was without real IMEI. So far I know the GSM prowiders allow a couple days to use your unregistered device.

hmmm
well thats bad
you haven't tried to root and flash custom rom at least if so if u have tried it is possible you might lose imei and which is why it is advisable to make an EFS back up.it could be a hardware related problem..try taking it to the samsung service center they are the ones who can really help you.
Try this solution: use Root Explorer enter to EFS folder, delete NV_DATA.BIN and NV_DATA.BIN.MD5. Reboot your device and check imei.

If device is shipped with broken seal on box then...
It's stolen by someone & sold him online.
& I think someone(frustrated Owner) knows & banned his IMEI via complain.and that's why he got null error while no reason at all.
It's just a guess.

Hey guys soo i rooted, then got a recover but forgot to backup and then i did advanced wipe where i deleted everything. I then got a custom rom and everything worked fine until I realised baseband was unknown and imei was nowhere to be found. I then went back to stock firmware via sammobile. Baseband is back but imei is now 00499.... I've looked for hours and can't seem to find a way to get it back. Ia there anyone who can help? Perhaps a software to rewrite imei? Any help is much appreciated guys
EDIT: i can get my hands on another note 2, can i simply copy the efs folder and replace it into my note 2?

Looks bad. Imei seems to be corrupt/lost.
If you have not made a backup of imei data before, you need some luck to get it repaired/restored again.
Best to search for imei repair and your device model, then check reliable hits.
There are some forums/threads and some YouTube videos.
Good luck!
