Empty IMEI - Samsung Galaxy S9 Questions & Answers

Hi
Hoping someone here might be able to help as somehow I’ve messed up my IMEI.
I flashed alexndr stock rom over my stock rom with the force XEU option enabled as my default CSC is H3G. Everything worked fine but was failing safety net so decided to flash back to my stock rom with odin but now my IMEI is empty.
I have the EFS backup that Alexandra rom installer created but flashing this doesn’t seem to solve the problem and what’s strange is if I flash alexndr rom back onto my phone my IMEI comes back and everything works normally but with the stock rom its blank.
Anyone know how to fix it?
Thanks

I managed to solve it was definitely a baseband issue. It looks like when I flashed the alexandr rom it updated the baseband to DTD7 where as my my carrier firmware I was trying to flash back to was still DTC5.
I've flashed DTD7 firmware now and everything's back to working normally.

Need Help! N7100: No Service - IMEI: Null

Hey Guys, this is the first time this has happened. I was using my Note 2 and it got really slow (im on Hawkish Rom | Perseus Kernel) and i decided to reboot it. On reboot the device booted and got to the "Samsung" Logo and was stuck there! i rebooted a few times more, and pulled the battery but it was still the same problem! So i decided to flash my ROM again, now the phone successfully boots to the OS, BUT it keeps saying: com.android.phone has stopped! I tried to go into Settings and check if my IMEI number is okay but when i click on "Status" under "About" settings just crashes. I opened up the Phone App and hit *#06# and it says IMEI: NULL. My WiFi works fine, but i cant get any signal. I have always made frequent backups of my EFS partition. How do i fix this issue? As i have a lot of business calls i am missing right now! Thanks!
ok. first things first if IMEI is lost (happened to me once) Just try to recover EFS partition using your recovery (TWRP o CWM) just search the option.
the one thing that worked for me it was flashing a new version of a Rom I was using android revolution and it also got laggy so I reinstalled and...I lost my IMEI (like you) then I just flash wanamlite (G1 Modem) and i got back my imei .
hope it works.
(there is also a thread in the development section)

Hi,
I was flashing a custom ROM and my IEMI became null.
I tried flashing official 4.3 ROM of my carrier but that did not solve the problem.
I have not done backup to EFS and thus I cannot use that option.
Would you please help me fix this?
Thanks

wifi do not turn on

Strange things happen to my i9195... suddenly out of the blue,wifi won't turn on neither from quick settings panel nor the settings itself...
Everything else works as it should(data,bluetooth,airplane,gps,sound etc) but the wifi setting tries to turn on but immediately turns of. anyone had this problem?
and more important... a solution??????????
Which rom are you on? You could try reflashing a rom to clear any possible software issues
yes try reflash rom

thanks guys for your replies...
i was on stock rooted xxuamf4, i flashed both xxuamh3 and xxuamg8 (these two i had already downloaded) but problem remained. just to eliminate software issue , as a last resort i flashed CM 10.1.3 and magically my device was fully functional again( by the way ..:good: to CM...).
So WTF? i 'll try later to flash a stock non rooted fw and see what will happen...
p.s : anyone know how to change baseband? in my sgs3 mini i used to flash different modem for that. what works for this device?
p.s 2 : thanks again for your time guys!:good:
flashing back stock firmware , problem reappeared! it seems something has to do with knox , because every time i try to open wifi a toasted notification appears "prevention information... the device as detected...bla...bla...bla"
the thing is that if i root my phone and completely delete knox,knox agent,store and container agent, the notification stops but the wifi setting still cannot be enable.
any ideas????

Back to report that re-rooting with arco's method but with rootkit v2 (that includes kernel) seems to solve the issue! the steps i follow was :
1) gain root
2) install cwm recovery
3) with es explorer delete knox store,knox agent, container agent (both apk and odex files)
4) reboot to cwm recovery
5) clear cache and davlik cache
6) reboot and RESURRECTION!!!:good:

i think it's a kernel related issue. But first in order to eliminated hardware problem possibility, try to flash a cm rom. If your wifi and bluetooth works then you can be sure it's not a hardware failure. in my case flashing a different kernel solved the issue.
p.s : if you find a way to change baseband version ,please share the way!!!

you need flash same version Kernal file, example: when you finished flash MH2 stock firmware, if wifi shotdown, just flash MH2's Kernal file, file size around 7MB

the solution for me was more or less "flashing rooted arco's kernel" . but my model is 9195. i honestly don't know if there is one for 9192 ,but if i were you i would search for one!

I have problem whith my s4 mini.. I9192 dual sim
Baseband : Nd1
When i want to connectt to wifi i enter password.. As soon as i hit the connectt button wifi signal will desappear... I updated the frameware but no sucsess...
How to solve?
Is it hardware issue?
Same problem for me (1st post): new i9195 with latest XXUCNK1, never flashed before,
install twrp and make a backup, install CM-12.1 and CM-13 without any issue,
After restore to KK using my twrp backup I can't turn on wifi,
solution was to flash Modem_I9195XXUCNK1.tar from modem thread.
I notice that twrp doesn't restore previous modem I update to XXUCOL1

[Q][HELP] IMEI Code is null/null after flash, tried lots of stuff and still nothing.

Hey all,
Before I'm gonna get into this problem I'm having, I spent the past 3-4 hours using multiple methods - but no success.
Chain of events:
1. Installed DN3_v5+ ROM from DN3_v3.1.1
2. Installation went fine, Wifi works, no FC, but no network. *#06# dialer code shows null/null.
Alright, no worries - I took a backup of the Efs folder in the past, I have one in a tar.gz format, and in the past I even just copied the efs folder via the root explorer app(the permissions would have been messed up anyway).
So I tried restoring it, but it still didn't fix the problem (even after restarting it). I then tried to install a new modem(XXDME4 & LK8) to fix the efs and it didn't help either. I then reverted to an older rom i had on the SD (CleanRom Att SE 3.0) and same problem, then i went back on the DN3 v3.1.1 and same problem), currently I'm back on the Dn3 v5 rom.
I also have the IMEI number written down, if that helps.
What should I do? Any help is really appreciated!

Sounds like you flashed an N7100 rom. Which is a no no. Ditto note v5 is not yet ready for this phone, they are currently on beta v4 for this phone.
Simply odin back the stock rom to bring back baseband.
Then your set.

Thanks for the help man! So that's why it messed up, I ended up downloading a stock rom yesterday and flashing it today morning and it ended up restoring the imei.
Gonna leave a reference to this thread from here (set of stock roms)

undetected sim, Unknown baseband, Rogers, d2can, cm14.1

I recently installed cm14.1 on a Rogers d2can phone and I got unknown baseband and sim card stopped working. I tried flashing different modems which made the situation worse as now even old cm11 roms show unknown baseband.
Can someone please tell me where I can download modem zip file that works for Rogers and for cm14.1?
I recommend flashing the latest KK stock ROM from sammobile.com which will restore your phone back to stock and ensure the bootloader and modem/baseband are matched. After flashing stock and confirming that the imei is correct, then flash twrp, cm14.1, and gapps.
I was downloading from sammobile.com very slow and the download was interrupted in the middle. I will try again later.
Is there a better site to download firmware from?
So I downloaded it and flashed using odin. Flashing took a while but it passed. The phone got stuck on bootloop though.
So I booted to stock recovery and performed a factory reset. Booted again. Now it works!
I'm going to stay on Touchwiz 4.4.2 for a while.
Glad you got it working.
I would not call "staying on Touchwiz 4.4.2", "working" more like opening yourself to a long list of known exploits.
Others are having the same issue (cyanogenmod is dead so I removed the link, hope LineageOS fixes the issue some day.)
Using the last good CM-13 build is probably the best for now.
sim not provision ed MM#2...... easiest fix ....please n thanks;;;;
We'll need more information in order to help solve the sim problem like model #, ROM, etc.

"Unknown Imei - D852" (Solved)

First things first.. DO NOT TINKER WITH YOUR PHONE AT 3AM... sleep is gooooood!
Secondly..
I was stuck Crdroid with "Unknown baseband/imei" (flashing any other rom same issue)
Sim Status (everything was UNKNOWN)
Imei Information (Unknown)
Could not find a modem flash for D852 for the life of me, then stupid me remember DENEROM, and his "Canadian Post of all his workings" ( THANK YOU BY THE WAY DENE)
Now im running nougat so didnt even dawn on me to try flashing a LP modem..
But thats what fixed my issue ( like i said sleep is good )
Just flashing the modem for bell (since bell and rogers use the same crap) (overtop of nougat 7.1.1 cm 14.1) and restarted phone and voila!!
( yes every knowledgeable person is going to be like (duh no ****), but i like to break my phone just to fix it.. as simple as it was either way))
To everyone who tried to help thanks. :highfive: i can breathe now and will be keeping a backup of that modem file just for this issue in the future ( my problem had NOTHING to do with the EFS backup as i had tried 2-3 backups from previous working backups.)
i noticed i did not have the option to backup MODEM (need to find a modded twrp i guess to get that) as 3.0.0.0 does not have the modem backup option (least for me)
Just for anyone who has the same issue with their D852
Here is the link to XDA post by DENE (again all thanks goes to his post)

Now I know this is a huge touchy subject, so feel free to PM me so as this doesn't get misconstrued by any means.
I had my D852 working fine, made the full backup with TWRP, i have all the EFS and all of that.
I flashed a rom, and somehow my IMEI is unknown.. even flashing the (which was working fine) recovery it still has the no sim card / no imei issue.
Now my IMEI is on the sticker on phone underneath battery... is there any possibly way to get this going again. Would PC SUITE work? (typing in my IMEI number on the phone? ) And when i do this do i just have it running normally in the OS or in firmware update mode?
again really sorry for the question.. i just dont want to have the phone without the modem/imei problem not solved.

What ROM do you use?
This happened after flashing Crdroid 1.8/1.9/2.0.
after clean installing from Cm 14.1 (dec 25th).
Im currently attempting to LG flash to stock to no avail.
Did you try to restore just the EFS partition?
