I came across many NO IMEI issue.. But we need to clarify is that issue only on NETWORK LOCKED phones or even on NON network locked?? Pls let us know...
It can happen once anyone touches the efs folder

Ace does not have bootloader

wtf does a bootloader do anyway? Is it safe to not have it? O.O
whoever says we don't have bootloader must check first that we do have one.. but samsung don't lock bootloaders like others do ..
thats why sammy devices are easily hackable for roots and other things..
your pc can't boot without bootloader and same is case with phones if i am not wrong
My friend got se xperia neo v, and unlocking its bootloader is a pain in the arse. Se do provide official way to unlock it, but after doing it the official way the warranty is void forever, no way to revert back and relock the bootloader. Eventho got unofficial hack way, its risky and can hard brick the device in a blimp. From my experience helping him unlock the damn thing bootloader, i'm glad my first android device is from samsung, and i think my next will be samsung too

madman_amit. Your'e not wrong ;p but i think when someone has bought ace from some carriers like Orange or T-Mobile, they have locked bootloaders. I dont know if i am wrong , but someone from other forum said that ) BUT if i have good memory, i remember that my friend wrote me on gg( polish messeneger like MSN) that he have installed three roms on his phone at the same time o.o i could ask him for that ^^

Hello Guys!
I've try to cut it short.I would like to debrand (sim unlock) my SGS3, I used a tool named GalaxSim Unlocker, but it sad
"Either your nv_data md5 file is inexistent/wron or Samsung md5 function has changed. Stopping here to prevent eventual errors."
What is it? How can I fix this? or there is other method to network unlock my phone ?
HELP ME
THANK YOU GUYS BEFORE
Best way at present is to purchase an unlocking code from your network. The previously posted free methods don't work anymore due to changes by Samsung to the efs folder.

What prices am I looking at for sim unlock?

Is it possible to downgrade the rom and the modem for the one click method ?
Cost for a code varies, contact your network and a few repair ships to compare.
Yes, you could downgrade to older baseband -but only if you have a backup of your pre-MG4 efs folder and know what you're doing. Chances of bricking the phone are fair and you'll be stuck on that baseband, any upgrade will again lock the network.
That's why I said a code is currently the best option.
OK

No, it isn't. What you proposed isn't possible and wouldn't unlock the phone.

just quote me here if it works for you... gonna try it too...
Don't bump within 24 hours.
Most secret codes don't work anymore, contact whomever sold you the code for help -it should normally be input when you insert a new SIM card.

i just send my my phone on a skilled cellphone technician... and he get rid of my problem... now i just avoid flashing stock roms and stock based custom roms... but aosp roms are ok to flash coz they dont mess with efs folder...
just go to a cp repair shop and state your problem... this way you could also use your s3... thats the only thing you could do for now bro.

If he has actually lost the imei number from his phone i doubt if stock will fix it since imei is device specific
