thats the reason, the phone had lost its imei. theres nothing u can do except to send it for repair.
odin, download mode, recovery mode wont do any good now. the phone is ****ed up really good. only service center can restore the imei.

Ok. Why is this happened then?? What is the meaning of no imei showing??
Why is there no fix for it?
Thanks
because something that your friends done is messing with imei partition and it got corrupted.
the meaning of no imei showing is because there is no imei to show in the first place
theres no fix that we can do ourselve because we lack of known tools, howtos, software or hardware to restore the imei. only service center had those.

Flash the phone to the exact firmware it came with. You'll also need a USB jig so you can reset the flashing counter.

Everything alse seams to be ok.
I tried back to stock, different roms, modems (Honey, whiskey, miui), hard reset, IMEI recovery... no change

Try getting a new one from your warranty?

Eh I wish I could, bought it from someone (vibrant t959 is not available in stores here in Canada) so it’s either fix it or lose it

Thanks for trying but I tried restoring IMEI (nv_data.bin) technique from the link but it does not help, my vibrant does not want to repair those files automatically, and when I delete efs folder contents it restores nv_data but the file is empty. Also it's strange that going back to stock with odin does not wipe data... I thought it should
Had to go to "specialist" to fix it... He did it ... my imei is back (but nv.data.bin still empty ). It seams that my sim card was corrupted also... eh at leas it was fixable, but how .. no idea.
Ok guys! This is simple, i bought this GS2 from a friend a couple days ago. He told me the phone had no IMEI and since i have seen this before on other Galaxy S variations and have been able to fix it i thought it was a good buy. Thing is i didnt realize how hard it was going to be to fix that. He tried to unlock that phone who knows how and it completely messed up the efs folder. I have tried the 9 step Imei restore method and some other tricks with no luck. Problem with this phone is that it doesnt even have a dummie imei number. In fact, not even zeros, just nothing when i try to check for an imei number. Any suggestions for this. Or should i just look for someone to buy the lcd and dump the motherboard to the trash?? Thanks!
Without a backup of the original, working EFS folder you are probably more or less stuck. I've been in the same situation before and ended up having to get the phone replaced.
Contact a member on here called Odia via PM. He is sometimes able to recover IMEI's/EFS details when everything else has failed (for a small donation). If everything else you've tried hasn't worked, that's probably your last chance.
Yep odia said corrupt efs was no problem to fix.

I'm facing this as well: imei blank, no baseband, stuck on flight mode. I've tried everything, no luck. I'm fixing it for a friend, would be nice to come with some results up!

Here's the only fix I know of for a galaxy s2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iY9cDkj4CCw! If it works, make sure to make multiple backups of your efs folder on sd card/pc/drop box etc!!
You can view your efs folder using the Root explorer app!!
Here's the download link for the galaxy s2 kTool fix: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.hellcat.droiddev.ktool&hl=en Good luck!
If all else fails, your only other option is here: http://mobiletechvideos.mybigcommerce.com/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-imei-efs-repair/
You can try to fix the efs partition following this guide : forum.samdroid.net/f70/repair-imei-s2-5729/
You'll probably get a generic IMEI after that, then contact the guy he will set back your original IMEI. I had exacly the same problem and it worked !
Wow guys thanks a lot for all those replies! Ill keep in touch and tell you how it goes!
Thank for your help jje, I've tried many methods but none of them seem to be working. (Done factory reset, installed CWM recovery, wiped caches, adb shell) I've a feeling that this phone needs a main board as well. He's got insurance for his phone so at this point, I think, it's not worth the hassle anymore.

[email protected], even changing almost any galaxy S lcd is not worth it when it breaks. Have you seen the prices of those lcd replacement screens? We do it for the sake of learning. Although in this case you might be right, because just like your phone this one doesnt even have a baseband showing. But still im pretty shure its a software and not hardware issue. This is about something that went really wrong while unlocking or trying to do something like that with it. Too bad i dont even know what happened with this one. No efs backup or anything
What actually happened is my friend went into this badly network covered area, lost the signal and he was back to a place again, where is a strong network coverage the phone just would not log on and stuck in flight mode.
So my s2 was on gingerbread rom and I decided to flash 4.1.2 via odin. Phone booted up and asks for sim unlock code. I learnt then that it locked the phone. I used Galaxy_S unlock https://play.google.com/store/apps/...sMSwxLDEsImNvbS5oZWxyb3ouZ2FsYXh5c3VubG9jayJd
but it didn't work so I restored the efs. Then I tried this Galaxsim http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1846451 and it says unlocked so rebooted phone but when making or receiving phone calls, it disconnects. The paid version from play I havent tried but Im guessing will be the same?
Imei still shows so Im not sure what I have done wrong.
I have efs backup from both of those apps and also a efs.autobackup in the root of internal storage date in January. Not sure how that got there as this phone had GB over a year.
Please help
Do you get any signal at all?
The paid version won't help as this could be a modem issue.

Yes there is signal, data connection works. I then tried reflashing GB, restored GB backup, flashed ICS and same problem
Ok long story short. I have a i9100g that came to me only displaying 3 icons (phone ! computer). Using the method I found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1619571&page=21 I managed to bring it back to life but no imei.
I managed to write so far a stock 4.0.4, 2.3.6 and 2.3.4 trying to repair the imei problem. I have acces to a good efs folder of a i9100g but even after I replace it on the phone the imei is still unavailable.
I tried using the gsII_repair but it tells me its done but it isnt.
I tried using Efs pro software. With the phone's initial efs files it gave me an error at nv recovery but with the good ones I have the software says everything is ok.
My question is. Should I give up on trying to find a software based repair and try for hardware ?
Or if anyone has any more ideeas that might help I would be glad to try em all.
I must add I have no ideea how the phone got like that before it came to me nor do I have any clue where the phone is from.
*edit*
I am terribly sorry for posting in the wrong place. I didnt find a q&a for i9100g

this is something I have not found before. will definatelly give it a go tommorow at work. thank you for responding
i got today the galaxy s3 lte i9305 version, anyway while trying to flash with cf root, after finishing the screen goes blue and then black..later on dicovered that touch is no longer working, and the menu button works as back and the back button works as menu lol, and also i lost the efs, because i hadnt backup it yet, \
in all cases after a lot of search i read that some one wrote that the touch digitizer is damaged.....
i continue working with mouse over usb otg, triangle away, reset counter, and it was reseted successfully, current binary samsung official but system status is custom........flashed 3 stock roms with wipping and everything man can do to make system status official, but no luck....\
any help i can fix this so i can take tomorrow for waranty and so on ?? please tell me what to do
I had the same problem (with the system status) and I figured out that only Triangle Away 2.37 would turn it to official. Newer versions wouldn`t do this for some weird reason. Try it maybe it works for you too. Attached TA 2.37 to attachments

Why would you want to restore your efs folder. Is it missing right now on your device? I thought your problems lie elsewhere (Digitizer)?

first of all thanks for the triangle away version it works and now i can send it to warranty
what happened is during the root and installing the rom, the touch stopped working and still till now, and there is no signal for sim card, there is the sign like stop instead of signal bar, so i went to efs folder to check it there is nothing in it, so now it cant be registered on network and when dialing *#06# it give null/null
but ill try nothing more, just wanna send it to repair, and i guess ill get a new phone, since the touch is so hard to be replaced, and with no efs, they have to replace the mainboard, so new phone is easier for them
Yeah I think so too. Just send it in for repair. Good luck, glad that it worked.
Title says it all, after having gone through a ton of different processes trying to fix this, scouring the internet and finding what i thought were solutions, I just simply cant get past the boot screen...
So I find myself here, in what i hope is the right place to be.
I will explain what happens and what i've done to try and fix this, and if there is anything I can do to help assist any of you that may know the answer to my problem, please just let me know what i need to do, whether it be posting a video of what is happening on my phone or whatever, just let me know.
So I rooted my s6 (tmobile) a couple weeks ago, which was the first time i had rooted a phone in probably 8 years, but it was super easy this time compared to back then.
Then I made the mistake of turning off Custom OEM lock yesterday for some reason, not even sure why i did it, and now im here. Unable to flash anything, it always fails.
I've tried flashing the stock firmware, the latest firmware, and my custom firmware again, all to no avail. Maybe I'm not flashing the correct firmware from Sammobile, not sure, just frustrated to my wits end and could use a little bit of help, anyt suggest at all I am willing to try. I did make a backup on Titanium, if I can just get back into the phone I can recover everything i hope, but if i lose everything then so be it.
Thanks for reading, look forward to hearing from you guys
