hi there
i unfortunately did something (have no clue what) wrong while applying hard spl on my htc niki100. no bootloader is available anymore and hard reset is not applyable neither. pc keeps asking for installing data interface driver when connected to it. i guess jtag is an option but since im not into soldering i'm searching somebody who can do that for me. who ever can unbrick my niki will receive 50€ as a reward/thank.
plleease help me.
best, babouin.
if you are willing to play, go to a local phone shop. If its fixable, they'll fix it for for about £60 (depending on the fault)
At the very minimum, they'll tell you what the fault is...
thank you, i'll try that. here in switzerland usually the estimation of cost for repairing is about 50 pounds, but it's worth a try.
thanks again,
babouin
You might also get a used Niki around 50€ at [email protected] Or check out a tool named Frankenkaiser (never tried it, but search the forums for it, also kaiser/vogue/polaris, it should be the tool you need).
hmm, i got my niki200 for 20 euro's so if you look good you can find one for not too much money
thanks guys, frankenkeiser unfortunately does not work neither, since there is no way to get in to any bootloader :-/ i'll bring my phone to the shop tomorrow, so i'll tell you what they will have told me. but thanks anyway for your great support!

Hi all ... again
Someone has to sell Riff Box J-tag, or buy cheaper somewhere ... ?
I put a topic in this section, because I mean a device for Toshiba Tsunagi TG01
I could also mention, for Tsunagi and the extra cost.
Thanks for anything
Nokser
I would add that you need me to port WP7, because without it, though I would ..., it does not give advice
Are you asking if anyone has a box for sale?
Or are you after funding? If funding, then I know it's against the rules, but you could start a box fund so you can buy one? (I'll donate on the 31st if this is so - pay day).

nokser if you get this j-tag does this mean we can port wp7 and stuff to out tg01? if so when you do get this j-tag i can lend you a tg01 for testing and developement to speed things up
well i dont think j-tag is about developing other os's for tg01 it's when he test those roms if he get device tottaly bricked he could restore it. Am i right??

With the right "box" it's possible to repair your IMEI within seconds: Myth or Truth?
Hello guys!
So, I screwed up big time and now I got a i9100 with unknown baseband and no IMEI... practically a media player.
Reading around the net it seems that with the right hardware (called "boxes" I think) it's possible to fix the problem within seconds.
Do you think a Samsung Service Centre, I mean the small ones that you may find in a city, could do it easily? If so what would you think would be a fair price?
As you might have guessed at this point I am indeed a total newbie and I thought such a thread might be useful to others with the same level of "newbiness".
I will report on what they tell me and the price they ask me.
Wish me luck,
f
You may be thinking of a jtag? not sure...
Anyway, this could help:
Recover IMEI in 9 steps
Or...Contact a member on here called Odia by PM. He may be able to recover it for you (for a small donation).
Hi i have the same problem with mi sgs I lost my original imei after a reboot and I've tried all recovery methods with no result I always get a generic imei I even tried to copy and rfs folder of a friend who lives in another country and uses another carrier and still the same
Can a box fix this our anyone here knows how to repair my nv_data.bin file? No matther the donation!
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA
service center will do the job or a repair shop cause they keep diff jtag,box wiv them....goood luck
The legality of IMEI "repair" is tricky and varies from jurisdiction, so I remind you of XDA's rule to "don't get us in trouble".
Thanks

thanks for the info never the less I think the is a huge difference in imei recovery and imei change ... Imei change is illegal
We are taking about recovering what many of us lost when we didn't know the importance of an efs backup and now we are stuck with a very nice media player and a quarter of a tablet instead of a very nice smart phone hehe
Many of us need a solution even if it cost a donation

Someone posted a video clearly demonstrating IMEI change, not "repair", which I reported and crachel deleted, hence the message.
Thank you for your answers guys.
First of all, as for the update: I called my Samsung Service Centre and they told me that Samsung considers a phone with no IMEI as "stolen" ... I protested that I have the original box + proof of purchase + the code is printed under the battery, to which they replied that they just collect the phones for Samsung to repair and that repairing the phone would be "very expensive".
I believe the "expensive part", not so much the "stolen" part of the story he told me, but hey... I didn't buy it phone in this country anyway so... why argue?
I'm very sorry if I posted something that may have got you in trouble, it wasn't my intention. I thought freedom of speech in the US covered also things that *may* be used for illegal purposes (such as weapons)... nonetheless, again, I'm sorry.
I guess what I wanted to ask, really, was: Can an official Samsung Service Centre RESTORE a phone's IMEI? I read in this very forum that some people's efs folder was completely wiped out: what about that case? Would they still be able to "create" (?) a new efs folder?
After speaking with a Samsung Service Centre it seems that the answer is no.
So... can I ask -and I'm not being ironic- if a cellphone repair shop can do it or would it be against the rules?
Thank you again.
Cheers,
f
PS
Just as an anecdote, an authorized HTC centre changed my old Elf's IMEI -without even asking me... or even telling me!- when I had some (motherboard?) problems.
Whether a cellphone repair shop can do it or not is irrelevant so far as 'the rules' are concerned. Because the only way you're going to find out is to contact a local cellphone repair shop I.E. how would anyone on here know if a cellphone shop near you can/will repair it for you ?
Thank you for your answer,

I don't read the word "near", do you?
If it can't be done, it can't be done and there would be no point in contacting anyone in the first place.
Also I don't understand how 'the rules' are irrelevant *because* I'll only find out contacting a local repair shop.
I was talking about something perfectly legal in the US in each and every post of mine in this thread, even the one that got deleted, hence the question (perfectly legal i.e. The imei-changing-machine-thingie per se isn't against the law but it might be used against the law. Exactly like a gun.)
Cheers,

I made the distinction 'near' because whether a cellphone repair shop can fix it may depend on whether they have the same gear Samsung would use to fix it (I.E. are they also a Samsung authorised repairer - will they do a non-Samsung authorised repair).
And the only way you're going to know is by contacting cellphone repair shops near you. You're wasting your time here & clutching at straws.

Thank you again,
I've already decided to send my phone back to Samsung (I think I wrote that in the post that got erased), I was just asking if it was possible in part out of curiosity in part because if hadn't the option of sending it back under warranty I would like to find a thread like this.
it may depend on whether they have the same gear Samsung would use to fix it

As per thread's title there are many many imei-changing-machine-thingie around, if they work it's extremely probable that a specialized repair shop have them.
I'm not demanding that you (or anybody else) know if they are common and they work, but maybe somebody does know!
Anyway maybe you're right: I'm wasting my time

So finally I when out to find some shop that pointed me in the right direction and today I found a solution
I live in colombia so thought that a box that was ckmpatible with a sgs was mission impossible hehehehe
I found a shop that had a box and anfer 5 minutes and 20 USD my sgs was up and runing with my original imei!!!!!!!
I guess this is the only solution when you loose your efs and have no backup or nv_data.bak
I dont know if it is alowed to publish the name of box and procedure so if you want more info PM

Anyone can or think he can fix my Galaxy s2 IMEI missing. It's gone and i tried everythin with no sucess.

Nobody here can do that for you. Either Samsung service centres or local mobile repair shops can fix your phone.

If they don't work, nothing will. Also, this is not "buy an engineer" forum, you can't place a bid on your problem, keep that in mind for your next posts.

I know it's not, i just don't wanna throw my s2 in the garbage. I just tought someone with the right knowledge could fix this. I tried every thread over the internet and nothing fixed this.
So in your opignion my phone is good for garbage ?
No, your phone is not 'good for garbage'. It is repairable, it's just that nobody here can help you. The IMEI needs to be 're-written' to the device, Samsung service centres have the equipment to do it, but might charge you a fair bit of money for the fix. Some local mobile repair shops (who aren't Samsung authorised repairers) might also have this equipment, and will more than likely repair it more cheaply than a Samsung service centre.
Other than purchasing the equipment yourself & somehow learning how to use it, then performing the fix without permanently borking your phone (a real possibility if you don't know what you're doing), and also paying a lot of money for something you'll probably never use again, they're your two options.

There exists few people who remotely repair and fix imei through communication medium like teamviewer.
all you need to do is contact them and pay using paypal.
follow this link.
a manual is given for s2 device in link. you can also try following that.
P.S I am not sure if the person which I am referring to is yet working on this but you can nevertheless give it a try.

Have you done any modification to it, or is it still completely stock? If still stock with no mods hanging on a flashing white screen is not a good sign. That generally means it needs repair. If you've tried to mod, what where you doing before it failed?
Hopefully we can find you some help
