Hi All,
I don't usually post anything but I use XDA a lot as it has helped me in numerous ways...
I would like to ask if anyone can confirm that by doing the below I can re-enter my IMEI in my S3...
1. From Terminal Emulator type "su" to gain root permissions.
2. echo 'AT+EGMR=1,7,"Type your IMEI here"' >/dev/pttycmd1
3. Press enter and reboot.
Can anyone confirm?
On an S3? I doubt it very much indeed.
What have you done to change your ime

I have't done anything to the phone yet, I will flash a different ROM soon and from my research I find that once people flash a ROM their IMEI might change which then impairs the phone from connecting to a network.
I want to be prepared in case I need to restore my IMEI. I have read of way that you can back up the efs folder and this is something I am investigating.
But, I want to have a back up plan in case I need something more.
Do you know of the above process? I have seen you tube videos and it seems to work, although I am unaware if this will work on my Galaxy S3.
Can you or anybody else confirm if they know this process to have worked?
If you take a backup of your efs folder then you're covered for this problem

Very rare for you to lose your IMEI .
EFS backup should be all you need .

Not so rare. I loaded CM10 and when I was done, so was my IMEI. This should be preventable. Yes, I think I can recover because i have a copy of my NV_data.bin file, but doesn't seem like a very sporting thing to do to a person just because they loaded a firmware.

I said very rare from the thousands of flashes on XDA few lose IMEI and 99% of those are total noobs . Plus 99% of those that do lose IMEI have not bothered to read and learn but just blindly flashed with no backup of EFS .
Flashing firmware has never been risk free .

Hi guys,
i flashed my I9100 with the Lite'ning ROM and after that my WLAN stopped working. I did some research and found out that my MAC address got erased from my eeprom, i think.
Some topics i found:
- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=490681&page=7
- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=322225
I also tried recovering my EFS folder but no luck with this. My IMEI is still there and my phone is working perfectly fine except the WLAN.
If i try to activate my WLAN it just says "Error" and deactivates its self afterwards.
Like said before if i enter this code " *#*#232338#*#* " i get a message that says "File does not exists!! Unable to get MacAddress!!"
So is there any way to recover it or flash a new one?
I would really appreciate some help.
The last person to mention this on these forums (yesterday) didn't have an I9100 and was flashing stuff for the wrong device. Are you absolutely sure you have an I9100, and not one of the many variants? (check under your battery)

Yes i looked it up again and it says:
MODEL: GT-I9100
without anything else.
Possibly a bad flash, go into cwm mounts and storage and chose all the format options yes make sure you save what you need, then enter download mode and re flash

I searched again through the back side of my phone and the original package but no luck at all.
Would be really fantastic to get a complete efs/wifi backup surely without the original MAC-Address of the owner.
Thanks for the efforts so far

Your backed up EFS folder should have the details .
or a custom rom may have auto backed up your EFS .

I would say you have two options, giving this guy a very polite pm asking if he has any clues, or flash back to stock, reset the flash counter with a jig and send it back under warranty.

Hi guys, well i managed to somehow ****up my efs folder and it now says no baseband and imei/imeid.
I have searched and searched for but closes thing i was able to find was using nv writer to write my old imei back onto my phone. The problem is when I *#7284# I have no option to choose DM + ADB + <cant remember other option> I only have PDA or MODEM option.

Can you try kTool?
K-tool does not work, which is why Prodigy got me to type a command line in the terminal which backed up my EFS folder manually. Now I have an EFS.IMG This is why i put up the THread Because I knew it was soon someone will be bound to stuff up there EFS.. Which is WHY WE ALL NEED TO BACK UP OUR EFS ASAP before we start modding
But as for recovery its hopeless? Can a box be used to restore the imei? Anyway i can write my imei using nvwriter after somehow solving the problem of not being able to put my phone into diagnostics mode?
Argh! I am going insane, this is looking like a one dear mistake!
I had the exact same problem. Tried MANY things, with no luck. If you got yours from Optus less than 30 days, they will give you a brand new replacement phone .
Try to install a stock rom like 4.0.4... that worked for me on a S1 with the same problem and fixed it!

I have the same issue although it happened to me when I flashed a rom to ROOT my device and I didn't back up the EFS, now it doesn't read the SIM/Network and my Baseband & IMEI are Unknown.
I have tried re-installing the stock firmware etc but still no success...
Anyone have any suggestions?? Or at least how I can update my device status back to normal a pose to 'Modified'.. This was I could maybe submit it through warranty repair.. I have tried to reset my binary count with triangle away (before unrooting) but no success as.. The only thing i've managed to be able to do is unroot my device..
Please help!
Thanks...:fingers-crossed:
if you dont mind about the reading , u can still use your phone flawlessly.. and try the trick "oh im not sure , oh i dont know" and get one replace or u will need jtag i guess.. or maybe ( not sure if it work ) get someone else backup efs and find a way to put your imei in and push it back to your device.. and then repeat same procedure with your original imei ... if u cant remember , take a look at your box.. well..i am just suggesting..not sure if it work...
to get rid of modified , go download sammy official release for your telco or country , flash it with odin but the binary counter remains... good luck to u..

Would a EFS pro backup.img be ok? or do you want the whole uncompressed folder?
EFS Pro img would be fine (i assume) it's a final shot before i ship it off.

I read last night that if you flash the original OTA over your phone it will re write your IMEI number and if Telstra's one is not out just use one from AT&T or Optus etc..
So you can make a back up of your EFS and go from there with re rooting and applying a new baked rom.
Either way if can work or it can not. i see no harm
Anyway here is the EFS taken' just now
you should never share your EFS folder with someone else. Due to the fact each imei is unique.

I think there is a way to restore your IMEI. Though you should know that it is unique to every phone and you can't just use another phone's backup. Check out this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1772741&page=5 I read it before, might help you.

Try posting what happened, if you have matching imei under battery to phone info and which modem version you flashed last.
You do have efs backup, right?

Does your IMEI match the one under the battery .
If not restore your backed up EFS folder .

Dial *#06# in your phone's dailer and if your IMEI matches the IMEI on your phone's box or under battery then its something else.
If it says something like 0049xxxx or null or 0000... Your IMEI is corrupted.
In the case of corrupted IMEI you must have a backup of your EFS folder in order to restore it. If you have backed up your EFS then you're safe. If not.... Only Samsung can fix it for you, provided you have warranty left.
I had the same problem.. my IMEI changed to 0049xxxxxx by installing Custom Rom. Got it fixed for free by Samsung PM me if you want to know how.

So I searched online and saw some tutorials how to root and install costum ROMs.
I read few tutorials to be sure how to do that and after all went good and the ROM installed, One problem has rised: NO SIGNAL!
so I wiped all and installed a ROM STOCK.
After that the signal came back "half way". It's showing signal bars but I can't call to anyone, even after calling to my provider...

That is your backup flash with odin
( When you flashed a custom rom it probably backed up your efs some roms backup by default)
I would just backup your efs you have at the moment just in case you have problems flashing. You will then be able to return to how your efs is now even though it is not fully working..
Or try this app >> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.hellcat.droiddev.ktool <<
The phone has to bee rotted to use ktool?
I also understand from the link you did about the EFS that there are two types of base bands and if I have an efs backup that I did on V1 baseband so I can't restore it on a v2 baseband, so my conclusion is to get back to 4.1.2... correct me if I am wrong

good that you found efs backup
yes you need root. or you use the recovery philz touch to restore your efs (then you don't need root, but a custom recovery).
well samsung roms based on 4.3 need efs v2, so you have to go back to 4.1.2 to restore your efs v1 backup.
if everything is working again, I would suggest you to use oding to upgrade to 4.3, because then everything should be updated correctly (but keep your efs backup, and make another one, just to be sure)
then you can try out again custom roms based on sammy 4.3
So what is the best option to restore it?
Because before I tried (while 4.3 stock rom was installed) the flash it with Odin but Odin always crashed when I was uploading it to Odin.
With kTool I tried before but when I am clicking on the button it says that it restored but he didn't asked for directory, when do I need to put it?
The same story with phliz, I also tried with this and he don't asks for directory, only asking whan the ending if the file-tar to bin...

Hmm... try installing another EFSv2 modem, then do the /efs copying part again.
Suddenly after so restarts, the IMEI got back
But... The SN now is 0000000000
You'll need to correct the permissions of the files you've copied. Try searching for someone who already did this and duplicate what they did.

I tried something new. I flashed a new modem, backed up a full backup and then installed a costum rom 4.3.
the IMEI GOT BACK! And even the SERIAL NUMBER!
But I think the serial number is not good because he has 16 or 17 (I don't remember) digits (numbers and letters).
But still i have signal bars but can't make or receive calls he says: "No registered on network"
For the finalle, I tried ARIZA patch but he Is stuck on 0%...
here I stopped, I really don't know what to do.
Don't use the Ariza patch once you've got your IMEI and SN back. Maybe try flashing a new stock version of Android with a EFSv2 baseband so as to not go through the copying fiasco.
