Hi i have a backup but after reflashing comes the serian dont back
a mobile shop has flashing the orginal ROM with a SPT-box, the serial is still 0000000 but i can use the phone normally...
Flash stock and take it back to official Samsung repair centre.

It is unnecessary to send it back to the service center (i think).. my serial number was 0000 too.. all i did was flash back to stock and factory reset

Have you tried doing what he said? Flashing stock then factory test? If so and the problem still exists then take all the advice given and go to the service center.

Yes. It solved my problem but i dunno with the others.. this actually happened to me more than once:
a) flashed ParanoidAndroid and i lost my serial number
Solution: i flashed back to stock
b) flashed Android Revolution v11 and i lost my serial number
Solution: i flashed ARHDv11 again and did a full wipe..
I hope this can help the others

I have the same 0000 problem.
My device is international i9300. I corrupted i'ts imei and serial number 1 day after purchase. Today I take my device to a 3rd. party technician and he solve the imei problem but serial 000000 problem remains.
I wiped data and cache after I take it back. And I did a factory reset via android menu. But still the same 0000 serial.
I backed up my efs folder to several locations and make a backup with ktool too. So what is the next step?
Should I flash the latest samsung firmware via odin amd make a full wipe after that?
Or just flash some cm10 rom.
Sorry for bad english and thanx in advance.
Did you fix it?

Hi, don't worry about bad English mine isn't so good either. Were you able to get your serial number back? If so what did you do? I have the same problem it was gone after I flashed a new rom I had lost the network and the IMEI but thanks to this site and DocHoliday77 the phone is back in order except the serial number but it looks to me that it does not have an effect on the performance. so just may let it go before I do something dumb again. If you did get it back let me know how.
thx Robert'sGalaxy
i ave the same problem

Thanks JJEgan I see now what you wanted ne to read. I need to flash the new MG basebands because I did update to the XXEMG4 ROM then switched back to a stock rom thinking that would fix my IMEI #. Thanks for not being abusive and just pointing me in the right direction. I hope that is what you wanted me to realize.

Hey man,
I read the post and tried using the MG4 modem but I still unable to connect to network. I would search for the network and select my service provider, a pop up would say "registered to network" but when I try to make a call a pop would appear and say "not registered to network".
Now in my notification bar i would see a hazard sign saying: "NO SERVICE selected network (bmobile) not available" any additional direction you could give me to solve this problem would be greatly appreciated.
Thanking you in advance!

did.. even used efs pro to try to fix... imei is correct the same as on the box. only serial number changed... strange thing is that i can locate find networks that are available in my area but i cant connect to mine...
Basics that you may haqve already tried are
IMEI then Modem then CSC
Manual setting of APN for mobile network can be used for wrong CSC .
Faulty Sim is another on the list .

tried all above.. only thing is that i cant change csc * # 272 * # imei aint working.. not registered to network is my msg..
apn are correct as i flashed stock form sam firmware. so i dont know..
sim - i used 4 dif no luck.. all are working on other device..
what makes me worried is the serial number, that is preventing my phone to get connected i believe
so here we are... IMEI is corrupted - i was noob and i just quick checked the number on box and under the battery, but after further inspection i have spoted difference between the imei in d phone and the actual on casing / box. so its corrupted. thats why i am unable to register to network.
somehow it get corrupted during the flashing process... so now i will try to restore the imei from the scratch... i am not sure if i iwll be able to perform such a thing but i will try my best.. any tips wil be apreciated.

Flash back to stock, use triangle away etc then take it back. Hope you have warranty.

its amazing how people still think.. just get over it and read my story.. _--->my phone was purchased by me in vodafone store, after one week i cracked the screen ... fall off my pocket. no warranty anymore. now i wanted flash cm9 due to flash player was needed and my imei is lost.. its a generic now 004..... so i am screwed. i need someone with some knowledge and feelings for such a mistake like this.
I know what you are going through, my first droid lost the imei the first day I bought it, no warranty.
So far I haven't seen anyone solve this problem. Did you back up the imei? There is a post from someone who said they are trying to fix it and would post their results. Another user has had some idea of how to fix it, I'll try and link his post.
Really feel bad for you, it's made me stick to stock until i see some development concerning these losses.

First of all, this is not my first time flashing a custom rom. I've been using different roms for months. Before this tragedy I was using MIUI as my primary rom and CM10.2 temasek's UNOFFICIAL Build - V10 as my secondary rom with Googy-Max Kernel 1.6.7 installed. Everything works perfectly fine. Yesterday I decided to install Resurrection Remix® v4.0.6 as my secondary rom. During the installation the installer asked me to choose one modem. And I randomly chose one of them. After that I rebooted my phone into secondary rom, but there was only black screen. Then I took out the battery, reboot it into my primary rom. UNFORTUNATELY, THE MOBILE SIGNAL WAS GONE. I tried to flash different modem/baseband and tried everything I can find on the internet. Now the signal shows" Emergency Call Only". I used Odin to restore my phone to stock rom, everything on my internal storage is gone BUT THE SIGNAL IS STILL "Emergency Call Only". The SN is normal (not all 00000000) but imei is wrong. Can someone tell me what the f*** is happening to my phone? Thank you so much! :crying::crying::crying::crying:
Update: I sent my phone to Samsung care. And they said some sort of chip on my phone is broken. And they charge me 200 dollar for replacement! Hell no! Any ideas??

The stupid thing is I didn't know efs before this. And there is a backup. But nothing happened after I restored it. Another thing is the Titanium Backup on my phone became a free version. It should be a premium one. Does that mean I lost my efs? Then how come I still got the correct IMEI and SN?
Well if your imei is intact what's the fuss ? stick to the newer base bands

No you will need proof of ownership and a Samsung repair centre .
Check first did your custom rom backup efs
there is no any efs folder.
what should i do?
did you try to flash an emg2 or emg4 baseband? some have reported that this can restore network connection
i didnt try it yet,
how can i do that and where can i find this modem?

ariza patch is for serial no not imei.it does not help withj the new modems and may actually make things worse.
i tried to flash alot of roms so far, nothing helped.
the problem is the the devide was bought outside the country and there are no service center for that device..

from 4.3 i downgrade to MG4 4.1.2 everything is ok. i have my IMEI but when i look at my serial number i have 00000000000.
is that normal? is there any problem if i have that serial number? should i find a way to fix that? any fix to that serial number if that is a problem?.
i thank you in advance for your help.
i have s3 GT-19300
Restore back to 4.3 and youll have your imei back. Downgrading without reading any post here on xda is foolish. Use search next time
if helped press thanks

like i said in my first post i have my IMEI. my network is working. my wifi, text and calls. problem is my serial number is 00000000000. i would like to ask what is the use of serial number and is it ok to have that number.
Your imai shold be nummber thats located under your batery but if this doesnt bother you its ok. You messed your EFS cos on 4.3 and above is v2, and on 4.2.x and down is v1. Thats why you have 0000...

my imei doesn't bother me because my phone has it. how do you define a messed EFS?. a messed EFS doesn't have a IMEI and because of that they don't have network.. but i have. based on what i read in this site. mg4 and above has v2 that is why i choose a rom with mg4 modem and that is why i have a network and IMEI.
ill just ask this simple question. what is the use of Serial number?. compared to IMEI if you don't have your IMEI, automatically your phone will have no network. but in Serial number, if the phone's serial number is 00000000000 what will be the effect in the phone?. because if it doesn't have any side effect or bad effect then thats ok with me. and i don't want to use any patch to correct it like the ariza patch..

Have you tried connecting to Kies? I had a different serial number not the 00000 but in numbers and lower case alphabets and kies wn' connect other than that all other functions were ok. I suppose you would have a problem if you want to sell the phone, maybe, maybe not. Cheers
I had a problem same with yours a couple of days ago. I fixed it with a free tool. Samsung remote server. Google it. I got my serial number back for free.
thanks guys for your help but im back again at 4.3 jelly bean mk7 israel version hehehe. ^_^
and my serial number is back again.

I'm glad to hear that. Please backup your efs folder.
This same problem everywhere.. root your mobile and download XXEMG4 modem for s3 and apply that file from recovery mode.

Cm13 00000000000
Hey, i was running cyanogenmod on my s3 for awhile as a secondary device, but i needed to activate the thing and noticed that i couldnt. i did some digging in my device and found that my serial code was 00000000000 just like in this post. now i realized it was too late to revert back, i carelessly hadnt made any good backups of anything because i didnt think id really need the device. So i went to ifixit and ordered up a new motherboard, i installed it then made backups of everything, including the efs folder, the modem folders, all of it, then installed cm13. Still have 00000000000 as a serial number, i restored my efs and restored the modem files and what do ya know.... 00000000000 i dont know what this means for me, maybe all the other stuff is fine and i can activate like normal, but this is a huge pain in the ass and id like to know if anyone else has this problem and if theres help for me and hope for cm13.
SPH-L710 d2spr cm13
maybe its worthy to not this ones baseband is l710vpudoh1
Update:
Well, i downgraded to stock unrooted L710vpudnj2 and started over, not updating tp oh1. Then installed 12.1,everything works perfect right now, ill try cm13 regularly and update again when it works.

Hi you have lost your imei & s/n along with all other bluetooth and wifi files.
Flash this file Generic EFS repair with odin (This would return you to Generic Imei and 0000 s/n).
That yellow icon would disappear but you need to get it repaired at a shop, online or send it to Samsung. There is no DIY method.
it helped with the serial number it has been restored but imei and signal not restored yet ,, any suggestion or help !!

too hard in egypt there is a stupid guys in mobile shops and samsung in egypt is full of thieves and money lovers
btw i discovered that your efs file fixed my serial number but its not the original serial its another numbers and letters !
It's generic i already told you because you do not have efs folder at all. You need to rebuild both and you can't DIY it.
For online remote repair you can try contacting this guy. For 10 Euro i think.
