Hello,
I recently bought Samsung Galaxy S2 i9100 factory unlocked with installed Jelly Bean 4.1.1 (CyanogenMod 10) and no imei and baseband.
I tried everything to fix the issue, but nothing worked. I searched this forum and some user said that I should use jtag to wtie correct efs folder and z3x or sl-box to repair imei etc.
Is there any other way to repair corrupted efs and imei, because I don't have those tools and I don't have any money to spend on local mobile service.
Any help is appreciated.

I didn't . Maybe previous owner did. Is that might cause this ?

No, Siyah kernel won't cause this, but Siyah kernel always take a backup of the efs partition on your Sdcard every time you flash it.

I tried this : GSII_repair , Galaxy S unlock , efs pro tool on computer , flashed different modems (5-6 times) , flashed to stock rom 2.3.3 and trying to connect to kies on computer ( to update to ics) but it's just connecting (that was the most annoying thing ) , "repair imei in 9 steps" post etc.

You have to try this again, and it has to be successful (you need to use Kies to update to ICS) before i can suggest any other thing.

You apparently opened two threads to solve the same problem. This is not good enough and it's against forum rules.
So which thread do you want to stick with? Your ICS 4.0.4 one or this one? So that I'll know which one to report

I think you could flash another firmware. Or make sure kies isn't running in the background. Even using another USB cable

Hi everyone
i swear that i read like 100 diferents threads about imei issues and i can't fix mi problem...
i had a Samsung Galaxy S3 i9300, the normal one, not the verizon, sprint or at&t.
accidentally i deleted or format some files of the phone that are really important by an option that i founded on the "RECOVERY MODE".
Ussually i only format de "DATA/FACTORY RESET" and the "CACHE PARTITION" but i have an other option that i click on it.... even when i was alerted about the risks.
So when i reboot the phone i couldn't get any access to the network and my imei was "004999010640000 / 01"...
i didn't have any backup of mi EFS file and i have another SGS3-i9300 so i back up the EFS folder of the working SGS3 and i rewrite de EFS folder of the bricked one.
Resuming i lost any chance of recover the IMEI from de .nv_data.bak file or any kind of this options....
I need to know if there's any way to fix this issue....
like write the original imei on any file of the EFS folder cause i have al the numbers but i don't know where to write them....
or any another idea...
Thanks any way:good::good::good:
Sending it to Samsung is probably the only option now
Flash a stock rom, and try again. If it doesn't work run the ariza patch.

Hello Guys,
my s2 GT-19100 is rooted with original 4.1.2 and CRW. Everything works fine...then I found an update from SUSuperUser App in PlayStore to upgrade from 0.99 to 1.25. After I downloaded and installed this update, su asks me to install in NORMAL or CRW mode...so I choose CRW.
Phone rebooted but no nothing happens...I tried everything VOL-UP+Power+Main-Button...no reaction...put battery out and in...no reaction :
Please help me...what do I have to do now?
Why update in Cwm mide when you can update in android.
Pull out battery 5 min
Then try to charge for a while.
Then try again
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2
After I opened the app, it first asks me to update binaries...i clicked YES. After that there comes another install/update procedure...not the update procedure from play store...to install SU and there were 2 options (NORMAL OR CWM)...I remembered I uses CWM while rooting my phone so I took that option...and SU reboots my phone and now nothing works...
Ok I will try
Some kind of a brick... try that if doesnt work you need an USB jig to force it to download mode

I dont think you listening carefully.
You said that you updated your SUPERSU and choose for some reason CWM and you bricked it.
Then you said you can use Downloadmode. Fine its not hardbrick.
Then you said youre on stock JB 4.1.2 and rooted with annother kernel. OK
Now you flashed siyah and then you get into Recovery? Why do you do that.
Why dont you just restart the phone and it will boot into android. Why WIPE?
These options come automatically after flashing siyah and reboot by odin. Now my phone loads again...yeeeeeeah it works
Do I have to remove/uninstall the old jeboo kernel? And if yes, HOW ?
Thank you so much

No you dont need to uninstall. You kernel is removed automaticly by kernel you just flashed. And in that case Siyah or wich one you choose.
Glad that it works

NO. CM10 is Custom Rom version. Its compatible with Siyah. So CM10 is not a kernel its a ROM
Siyah , Dorimanx and Philz is KERNELS you just flashed to get root acess and Clockworkmod recovery to flash custom ROMS
But now you have yellow triangle when you start you S2 dont you?
Remove it with app called Triangle Away.
Yes I have this triangel...but is this bad or just a picture?
