I’ve got an Nexus 5X recently for a cheap price, it’s pretty neat but it’s IMEI is 0. I tried that QCN and it fixed the imei but phone were acting like no SIM inserted while it was. So I need a QCN backup, can anyone send it for me? You can mask your imei by changing it to 123456789012345 with a QCN editor.
Did you solve your problem?
I play around with my old Nexus 5X, now it shows EMEI =0 too after flashing the custom PE9.0 ROM
EDIT:
IMEI Restored DONE !

Hi there,
Just bought from someone a Gnex sim unlock but when i ran *#06# i saw a strange IMEI which is not the box IMEI.
As i had an iPhone previously (shame on me..) i didn't know it's all about a strange soft sim unlock..
I read on xda that a lot of people got that prob after flashing a custom rom but mine is intouch. And in the HOW TO it's all about GS2 and /efs/ folder (/efs/ doesn't exist on the Gnex).
I factory reset it, flash the google image but nothing..
Now i ssh the Gnex and see 2 nv-data.bin file. One in /data/radio/ (with md5) and another in /factory/ (without).
Which one do i have to restore and where to have that phone factory sim locked but with my real IMEI ?
Thanks a lot !
Hi everyone I've been in a trouble for a while and that is the signal strength of my phone, sgh-i317 so I'm wondering if someone has a qcn backup without the imei (cause it's ilegal) who can share with me to fix my network issue, thanks in advance.

Did you ever get this? I've read in other threads that there is one on this site, but I haven't been able to find it. My imei got wiped, so I re-input it, but I still can't connect to AT&T. I read that others had this problem and used an AT&T qcn file to repair their phone.

There's an at&t qcn file in this thread, where the IMEI has been removed. I used this mod and can attest the qcn file is good. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2068041
I bought an G3 (D851) for the wife. IMEI (from about phone and *#06# are both the same) was clean and phone activated on T-Mobile. Worked for a couple of weeks then quit. IMEI is now blacklisted. Rechecked IMEI and it comes back to a Galaxy Note 3 N9005 that is blacklisted as lost/stolen.
So then I check the tag underneath the battery and it has a different IMEI, one that is registered to a LG G3 (D851) that checks clean.
I did not know you could spoof or change an IMEI. Is there any way to restore the original IMEI so I can use the phone?
I'm not real computer/phone literate but I did do a hard reset to no avail. Any help would be appreciated.

Yes, there are tools that facilitate changing the IMEI. However, they are not very easy to use for someone who is not an expert. The IMEI can be _restored_ easily in cases where you have a backup of it. There are apps wgich do this, called EFS backup / restore apps. I believe that in order to use them that you have to be rooted.
There's a tool called QPST furnished by Qualcomm that does that sort of thing (allows changes to the IMEI).
In your case, you can look for someone who has professional tools to do it. I sent my VS985 to a guy I found through eBay who charged $37 to restore the IMEI which just came up blank after I flashed CloudyG3 v2.5, which wiped out the IMEI. BTW, don't flash that ROM on any G3 unless you have a backup of the modem (EFS) data.
The guy who did the work for me is in Carrollton TX. If you want to do something like that, PM me. I can look for his contact info.

Hello dear XDA users!
First of all I would like to give offer to one that will solve my problem, I will send him 30 EUR directly to his PayPal account.
I am Note 7 Lover as I am collector of these phones.
I have many succesful Note 7 phones recovered from death updates which were fully discharged.
But I did great mistake which I can´t live with.
I had one Note 7 , fully functioning with all connectivities. I managed to install HydraRom and Hydrakernel there on my own as I did it many times before. I am an idiot I didn´t make backup of the system and mainy EFS in working state.
I broke display a little on my primary Note 7 so I needed to recover my TWRP backup on another phone but I accidentally checked restore also EFS partion from my previous phone.
So the phone just turned on and No service, Baseband unknown. My great mistake.
Tried lots of original ROM restore, reflashing HydraRom or radios/kernels, nothing works.
I read a lot about what i did, I have no backup of EFS partion from the one that has problem. I have only Samsung Box with only IMEI written on it, back cover is changed so there is no IMEI or S/N.
I googled a lot, tried all the programs (Z3x, Chimera, Octopus) but none of them has capability to write IMEI directly to the this N930F phone.
I finally found a software called SAMFIX V1.3 and after clicking Baseband in the HydraRom phone menu is visible
The phone is able to look for carriers (but only one) but had NULL IMEI.
Wifi and Bluetooth works well, but there is no IMEI when i dial *#06# and imei is 0000000000. And Bonus is that the phone acts as Dual SIM, through it is only N930F single SIM. So the phone menu in HydraRom after dialing says 0000 for both IMEIs.
I tried to write IMEI with software IMEI changer via xposed, but it "writes" it only for the system instance.
Phone is still unable to find my carrier of connect to one.
When i tried to see device info with all softwares it says:
PDA Version: N930FXXU2BPJ8
Baseband Version: N930FXXU2BPI5
CSC Version: N930FOXM2BPI5
Please help me to restore EFS somehow, or at least to succesfully write IMEI and S/N (which i don´t really have) to phone and can connect to my network as before my idiosm I did with restoring ROM from "same" but different device.
Who will help me will get 30EUR from me (student) on his PayPal.
Did you tried stock firmware? If not flash N930FXXU3BPL2, and do wipe. https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-7/help/n930fxxu3bpl2-t3520988/page2
Hello!
I tried flashing oficial firmware, didn´t solve my problem, or something called COMBINATION Factory binary but this failed.
Radio and baseband is all OK, I have two other phones exactly with this firmwares and versions and they work all OK.
Problem is with EFS and CERT, before wrongly restoring this partion with TWRP backup from another NOTE 7 SM-N930F the phone worked all OK.
I managed to do with many softwares to write IMEI and S/N and it succeeded!
It is written in CERT file and not only with some IMEI changer for system run instance. It is readable via ADB.
Phone can unlock the SIM card but is unable to load carriers.
I read a lot of this problem and I compared CERT file of a backuped one and CERT on the restored one after my IMEI repair.
The CERT on the recovered one has it´s own IMEI now but has same ImeiSign,PubKey,PubKeySign as the backuped one from what I made restoration with TWRP.
So these codes are OK for the IMEI and S/N on the working one but they are inconert for the not working one because of encrypting.
I tried to flash CERT from the working one to bricked one but this does not work because of some CPID encrypting or so.
Have you please any solution to
1. Fully restore working EFS on the phone to work as before?
2. Try to make calculation for the right ImeiSign,PubKey,PubKeySign for that IMEI?
i have Samsung note 7 n930f
hey how u doing ?
i have Samsung note 7 n930f
and i have on it pie 9 SuperFast9 H5
on it but i have small issue
how to restore my s/n on my samsung sm- n930f
i got the phone with changed s/n
and want restore the original s/n
So after trying a gsi my imei went null. I used imei repair and i have both imei but meid is null. I dont have a qcn back so i was aondering if anyone could extract theirs and give it to me?
So... How is this to be done? I'm not sure what the qcn is, nor how to get it. But also, I'm a little worried; imei numbers are specific to each phone, so if I give you mine, is that going to replicate my imei to your phone?
