emergency no imei HELP! - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I need your help, I did full flash with firmware I9100XXKPA, the phone worked, now shows the imei 004999010640000, I did the flash correctly, first flashing and then the file normally I9100_EFS_I9100XXKP9_CL45181_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5
but now my computer does not detect my phone, does not detect mass storage mode, flash mode only detects the phone, will my phone work again?

Why have you flashed something with EFS in the name? What instructions have you followed which told you to do this?

Did you ever flash siyah kernel or wamanlite?

LMAO @ emergency. Do a search for IMEI on this forum.....I am sure I have seen many with similar issues.

what iwanna know is ... XXKPA ... ? that a pre pre pre alpha realse of ICS from end of 2011

[Q] SGS2 isnt starting, and not flashable

Hi altogether,
i have an SGS2 and got an ofer to upgrade firmware via kies. I didnt flash or root anything with this phone yet.
After flashing the phone via kies i only get the problem picture: Phone-yellowtriangle-PC. AFAIK this is the sign you get, when the bootladers are corrupted. Am i right?
NEvertheless download mode is accessable, so i downloaded a stock firmware from this site and tried to flash it via odin. It connects, starts to flash, but wont go further than SBL1 for over 10 minutes. then i stopped flashing. I tried the same with just the kernel and it flashed correctly, and the phone restarts, but just to the SGS2-screen with a yellow triangle at the bottom. No further for over 30 minutes, so i canceled that too...
Any suggestions, how i can rescue the phone? Data is not important, i just want to get it running again...
try to use the files from the next thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
edit:
in addition try to preform a full wipe if the data is not important (will delete all data including the contacts)
Also make sure NO Kies related processes are running (Taskmanager -> "End Process" everything that even remotely sounds like anything containing "Kies").
Connect phone to another USB port and do not use a USB hub, connect the phone directely to the PC.
Maybe that helps a bit....
Thank you for your fast answer, but that is the guide i used first to flash a stock firmware. I maybe should have mentioned it. And thats the way it didnt work.
Just the single kernel worked out to cause a little positive result. But only seeing the start screen (not even bootlogo, and no further) is not what a phone should do.

Don't use kies, its rubbish, when this is fixed just use ODIN Use the method in intratechs thread in the dev forum, using Odin
Sent from my Samsung Galactic Crusader S II
Hope someone can help. Recovery is accessable too?
As it was Kies i would take to a service centre .

Great MAster Darkyy helped me, and gave me that advice too. I dont really understand, what exactly went wrong, but as no flashing worked....
i just build myself a JIG, reseted the counter and will send it to service now....
nevertheless TY for all your help and fast answers....
How can a global player like Samsung really keep crappy software like KIES on the market for such a long time??? Did it ever work???

Dude... he has an SII HD LTE. (E120L) Which has different CPU/SoC/GPU than the I9100.
I am about 95% certain I9100 firmwares will NOT WORK on his phone, and may, in fact, make his situation worse.

First off, do NOT follow that guy's advice above, unless you want to brick your phone.
Second, try reading/searching this thread. I myself did a quick perusal of it and found that someone in it mentioned that they were able to root their E120L or S by flashing Tegrak kernel. Search around for it.
@vdbergh, sorry, I noticed you already posted in that other thread.
About your issue; are you plugged into a mainboard USB port on your computer? Using a USB hub or keyboard passthrough can cause issues. Have you tried different cables? It could be a bad cable.

ctomgee, thanks for the effort to try to help me!
I am connected to the main USB port of my computer. I also changed the cable. Result is the same.
I think something is wrong with the firmware. Here's the history.
I had a perfectly good working phone. Then I wanted to flash the TL1.3. Something went wrong in that process and stupid me, I reseted the phone. Since then the phone was bricked. I tried everything but no success.
I sent the phonbe for JTAG repair. They manage to reanimate the phone, but it was impossible to get a network. All the est worked fine but I could't make phonecalls.
When I started Kies, it said to upgrade the firmware. The kernel upgrade went fine but the baseband upgrate got an error. I had the posibility to do an emergency recovery in Kies, but as soon as I start that, Kies doesn't recognice the phone.
Flashing new firmware via Odin doesn't work eiter.
The only small possibility I see is to restore a backup efs.img I found. But to do that the phone needs to be rooted. I can't do that via Odin so I tried the DooMLoRD tootlkit to root the phone. This doesn't work because I get an error that the filesystem is Read-Only.
Maybe I could root or upgrade the firmware via the recovery mode (apply update from sdcard option)?
So I'm very desperate now. I just don't know what to do anymore.

I would get the latest firmware available via CheckFUS. (if you don't know what that is, just google it) Then flash it via Odin. Let's start there.
Use gingerbreak in my signature, it doesnt even need a computer, just put it on your sd and install it, then let it do it's magic

The checkFus didn't work. ( the SHV-E120L (SII HD LTE) is not in the list).
I tried the Gingerbreak, but I do't think the E120L is supported yet. It run's for ever without rooting the phone

My apologies... I didn't double check to see if the E120L was in Check FUS. Hmm. I'm not sure where you can get stock firmwares for the SHV-E120 series, unfortunately. (at least, on English language websites) Sorry dude, wish I could be of more help.

Thanks for your help ctomgee, I realy appreciate it.
I manage to root the phone by flashing the Tegrak-Kernel-Build-33-for-SHV-E120L-FB05.recovery.tar and installing the zip file in recovery mode.
I still can't connect to a network and I can't flash new firmware. All the flashing ends with an error that the NAND or amss.bin can't be writen to the phone.
Someoine has an idea what I can try now?

[Q] can't get my note connected with KIES

Hello guys.
I recently bought the Galaxy Note i717 locked to Rogers (Canada).
The seller told me that he has installed custom rom on the device. I thought it would not be problem but it seems like my phone is kind of laggy compared to others'.
I tried to connect KIES to install the original ICS firmware but my mac does not recognize my note.
The message on KIES when I connect USB cable is that ' device not responding '.
I tried turning on/off the phone and USB debugging mode.
I haven't back up my phone as I could not get it connected with computer.
My phone is samsung sgh i717
Android Version is 4.0.4
Broadband version is i717UCLE2
Kernel Version is
3.0.9-perf-I717UCLE2-CL526350
[email protected]#1
Build number is IMM76D.UCLE2
Please let me know how I can upgrade to normal ICS without losing data..
I am really stuck and new to Android System. (therefore I am a noob)

Install CWM Recovery and you can install any of the custom roms. All you have to do is install CWM and put the downloaded rom on your SD Card and install it with CWM. Go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1526431 and download the one that says ODIN in the first post then read the instructions to flash CWM Recovery with ODIN in post two on the page link above. Now you can flash roms without needing your computer. Now you can head over to to the development area for the I717 Note and pick a rom to flash with CWM. make sure you read the instructions for each rom cause it will tell you to do a full wipe on most and you do that inside CWM. Another tip is that you will never ever need KIES and the only use for it is having the Samsung driver that get installed with it so your PC will sync with your device. KIES is kinda useless.
EDIT: you probably already have CWM installed. Before going and tryin to install it hold down the power and volume up volume down at the same time and the device will shut off but keep holding down those three buttons. Now the device will vibrate and the Samsung logo will appear, let go of the power button but keep the volume buttons pressed in and CWM should pop up after a few seconds. If you have CWM already installed do not flash it again just find a rom and flash it through CWM like I stated above. In CWM the volume buttons move you up and down the list and the power selects.

Go to this thread for a quick tutorial on flashing http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1586223
There is no "original" ICS firmware for i717. As of yet no i717 ICS firmware have been released by carriers, save for the unofficial leaks, which you seem to have.
If you want to go back to stock firmware of Rogers, make sure to do a factory reset in CWM and then flash a stock GB ROM. The other choice is to wait for the official ICS release from Rogers (which I hear is coming this month) and then flash that when it comes out.
Otherwise, search for stock i717R GB firmware on the forums, put it in SD card and then flash it using CWM.
If you don't want to lose your data you could try using Titanium Backup from the play store to backup your apps and data, flash your firmware, and then download titanium backup from the play store again on your new firmware and use the restore function (if you are flashing a stock rom, you need to root first before using the restore function). Don't know how well that would work though, never tried it myself.

[Q] GT-I9300 - IMEI NULL/NULL, unknown baseband and no USB interfacing

Hi all,
some days ago I got a Samsung S3 GT-I9300, it didin't charge battery or power ON at all .Now, after chancing the microUSB connector, phone is charging and working fine but , since some pads (which carry data+ and data - USB signals on motherboard) are irreparably damaged and I don't know any alternartive points, I can't interfacing it to a pc via USB (phone is not rooted).The problems is the mobile is pretty useless as is since no SIM is detected (IMEI is NULL/NULL),in the device infos I can read only:
BASEBAND UNKNOWN
ANDROID VERSION 4.1.2
KERNEL VERSION 3.0.31-1314436
BUILD VERSION JZO45K.I9300XXEMG4
What can i do?It would be possible to root it (and try some restore) without connecting it to a PC?Is JTAG the only chance?
Thanks in advance
Mobile odin is an app that acts just like odin on your phone, no need of a pc.
From there, you could flash a cwm based recovery to root it via a flashable zip.
You can try flashing new efsv2 firmwares (mg4 and up) to see if the imei gets fixed somehow.
However, since imei is null, probably a jtag is the only way to get it working again.

Hi and thanks for replying.Yes, I did consider to sue Mobile odin but, as far I know, it requires an already rooted mobile (mine has been never rooted before) so I'm in a vicious cycle.
Regarding JTAG, is there any document about?

SAMSUNG SM-G530AZ (Cricket) ALL FIRMWARES

Okay I have seen various requests so I decided to hook it up, I had to pay for these but here ya go. I have full firmware for lollipop or kitakat and you can get them from the following links to my google drive.
https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0BxcLJPerShJ_ZDJrNV9fRVBSdU0&usp=sharing
Within you will see two folders you can pick either kitkat or lollipop and to do a full flash download the files starting with ALL then flash with odin by placing in the pda section. The others shouldnt even be needed if your looking just to fully flash the device use the ones that start with the label ALL. Enjoy. Wish someone could get the bootloader unlocked for this variant. If their are any other variants that need firmware let me know ill see what i can do.
I am curious could i perhaps flash the csc for tmobile then maybe my dev settings let me unlock bootloader like tmobile variant? I am not certain but I feel like it could possibly
Any luck with that ? ? I bought this phone on Valentines Day with android 5.1.1. The first thing I did was download Your stock firmwares cuz I knew it was gonna be a start of another journey with another Samsung device with lil to no development for it. Been doing research daily since then, You've been the most helpful & informative for Our cricket variant of the Grand Prime.

If I doesn't turn on at all. Then it's bricked. To make sure. Switch the battery or charge it. If it still doesn't turn on there is nothing you can do. But if you can get into Odin and download mode. There is hope and I have the files you'll need to salvage it.

their is no bootloader unlock or custom recovery for the 530az that i am aware of, so i never could make a nandroid backup. If you know of a way to actually use a custom recovery etc on the 530az I would make you a backup.

That´s the history. I recieve the samsung (sm-g530az), but the smartphone don´t connect to wifi, when you choose the network only appear "Saved, Protected". No matter how much times you select the network, always appear the same thing and the device do nothing. Well, i thinked in that moment in change the firmware. I read in this forum a possible solution, that solution says "Download the Samsung Kies, then connect your device and select -upgrade your device-. Type your model and S/N, and Kies does the rest". I did it, everything seemed fine, until the process stopped. And an error message appears that says "Disconnect the phone and retire the battery, then turn on + ^ + home to start the emergency recovery". I did it all, but when i connect it, my pc, odin and kies don´t recognize it, my Samsung died. I put the phone in download mode and nothing happens. I reinstall the driver, kies and everything and odin at last recognize my device. Then I dowloaded "Philiz Touch Recovery" and I could flash it with odin. After all, I clean my device and prepare it for a custom rom. I installed it "cyanogenmod 12.1 unofficial", but when restart the device, it doesn't enter to the system, only boot in recovery or bootloader. But my pc don´t recognize my device in download mode, and I can´t flash it with odin. So I need the backup to restore my device.
Try to install "Philiz Touch Recovery" with Odin. I did it, and works for me. When I recieved the samsung, i don´t unlocked the device and I could flash the CWM. Thanks for your response

ya i think you messed up royally, their is no working philz or cwm for the 530AZ at all because the bootloader is locked soooo i dont see how you ever flashed it with that in the first place, but if you indeed were able to then it looks like you have a soft brick of sorts since the bootloader is locked on that model, their is firmware but you for some reason are unable to flash with odin so sadly I am not sure what else you could do other than maybe see if it is recognized on other usb ports or computer also check your device manager in windows and check and see if the usb device is listed if it shows a yellow exclamation or unknown device then manually update the driver for the unknown device as an android device

That is the exact model I have so this should work! Use KingRoot but the desktop variant. And if that doesn't work use KingRoot, again the desktop variant. Let me know how it goes!

That´s the history. I recieve the samsung (sm-g530az), but the smartphone don´t connect to wifi, when you choose the network only appear "Saved, Protected". No matter how much times you select the network, always appear the same thing and the device do nothing. Well, i thinked in that moment in change the firmware. I read in this forum a possible solution, that solution says "Download the Samsung Kies, then connect your device and select -upgrade your device-. Type your model and S/N, and Kies does the rest". I did it, everything seemed fine, until the process stopped. And an error message appears that says "Disconnect the phone and retire the battery, then turn on + ^ + home to start the emergency recovery". I did it all, but when i connect it, my pc, odin and kies don´t recognize it, my Samsung died. I put the phone in download mode and nothing happens. I reinstall the driver, kies and everything and odin at last recognize my device. Then I dowloaded "Philiz Touch Recovery" and I could flash it with odin. After all, I clean my device and prepare it for a custom rom. I installed it "cyanogenmod 12.1 unofficial", but when restart the device, it doesn't enter to the system, only boot in recovery or bootloader. But my pc don´t recognize my device in download mode, and I can´t flash it with odin. So I need the backup to restore my device.

Hello, I know is late. Is already 2017 happy new year. But i was looking the post and reading the thread. I'm looking this information to try on my friend phone that want to root. Anyway. I maybe have a solution to fix the bootloop. since you went to philz recovery. There is a bug with philz recovery. If im correct. But i got it fixed with some zip file and using command on that flash. If you still need this solution let me know. I can post the zip file and step by step of the command.

HEY I REALLY NEED THAT!
I don't have the actual CWM on my phone yet. I just got it today. I already have it rooted, deodexed, and debloated(somewhat).
I was able to root it using kingroot. I'm still working for a way to replace the newest kingroot(5.1.0) with SuperSU.
But my question is does it actually work? Have you flashed the tar with odin and fix the code in it with commands.
Just reading your post gives me chills honestly. I like doing things as soon as I can! I'm a phoneaholic.
