yeah it should fix your issue.
how/why did your IMEI change in the first place?
yes, i installed omega v14
and what about if i restore some on else efs file

you would get their imei details, not advisable, I believe it is possible to edit the contents of the efs files, but I never tried this before
I think its because omega v14 uses a custom kernel compared to v13 that uses stock.

It comes from rom and not kernel!
If a custom rom include Kernel X and messed up the efs then all people who flashed this Kernel X on their phone (with stock or custom rom) should have the same issue
Now this issue only seems to happen to those who flash Rom Y including Kernel X and do not seems to hapeen to those who only flash Kernel X
The best answer would be to ask to rom dev why his rom messed up efs in some phone...

It happened when I flashed the first leak, now it happened with the "official" ROM
I have a backup of my efs so I can recover my IMEI everytime I flash the JB ROM but! I can't recover my imei while using the rom, only when i change to another ROM I can restore the EFS folder.
I've tried many Samsung JB ROMs even tried Odin and nothing. I just get my IMEI corrupted and I have no mobile data, I just have Emergency calls.
Any idea of how to fix this?

You see this is why people refuse to do search because its easier for them to just spam forum, not use search and wait for somebody to search for them like yourself. These people miss things they could learn on the way.
You may think you're been helpful but you're really not.
I've done the recover imei in 9 steps many times before, like I said l, this isn't the first time my imei gets corrupted. But it doesn't seem to work on Samsung ROM for me, I only can restore my imei after putting an aosp ROM, and it's weird how my imei gets corrupted every time I flash a Samsung jb ROM but when I flash an ICS Samsung ROM or AOSP nothing happens.
But yea, the point is that my imei gets corrupted when using a Samsung jb ROM and I can't restore it like I usually do. I do read and I couldn't find a way to fix it that's why I made a thread, I'm not a spammer in any way.

You can use another app to back it up, like HC kTool.
I've got like 3 EFS back ups, can't hurt.

you would not have problems because the roms based on CM or AOSP, do not change modem, you would be with the same modem you wear now.

You can go back to your previous baseband if you have its backup.
But I would advice not to do so as it might corrupt your efs. So just stay on newer basebands.

Bump for me
Flash the full stock rom for your country with Odin then factory reset in recovery. If efs is not read by the stock rom then restore your efs backup.
No backup then you'll have to pay for a repair.

If your IMEI is 0049 or null, try to use a patched MG4 modem first. Revolutionary roms don't have modem in them so that can cause some issues occasionally.
Let me know if it works.

Hello There,
I think the problem is the rom itself, i advise you to degrade your phone to its stock rom/orig rom and find a better rom.

- I would recommend never to post imei anywhere
- If the imei matches then all's ok.
- Stock rom depends on the country. You can search on sammobile and flash with Odin. 4.3 not recommended if you like flashing roms.

I'm guessing that you made no efs backup? Do your phone's cellular functions or wi-fi work while running a custom rom? What kind of GS3 do you own (i9300 or i9305?).
