Hi,
I Have sky vega a800s . I rooted my device with this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1567407
My question is How Can I Repair or change phone's imei number?
Thanks.
You cannot repair or change your imei number. It is like the serial number. Look at the original box of your phone. The imei on box and phone will be same

Check setting-about device-status-imei number. Make sure imei number is there and matched the number printed inside back cover.

Did you back up your efs? I'm going to take a wild guess that you didn't. If not and you have flashed different stock roms and modems then it's service center time.

What about the serial number?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
No EFS backup then its worth a factory reset and flash a stock rom before service centre .
But as you have flashed multiple roms its probably to late to help .

I have S2 from orange, I can't decide whether my phone is Sim locked or not!
I was running the Sim normally before and then my phone got some problem, I flashed the latest ICS 4.0.4 (Rooted with Siyah Kernel). Now when I insert the sim it gives No Service! I have tried to insert other Sim but all give the same No service problem.
At the time of inserting sim it doesn't ask for unlock code and I can't determine the state of unlock from *#Simlock#
Thanks for helping
Check your IMEI. If its one particular Imei number, then your Efs is corrupted.
What do you mean by particular IMEI?
MY IMEI is 35884XXXXXXXXXX
And its 15 digit ... what does it mean?

Particular IMEI means the IMEI has repeating numbers. At least that's what I think.
Sent from my potato.
Nop it doesn't have any repeating numbers in it
If its from Orange then it will be locked to them. In about phone in settings are you showing a baseband version?

The baseband is I9100XXLQ6

Backing up someone elses folder will only give you their IMEI. by doing so you will void the imei as it cant be on 2 devices. Not to mention no one is gonna give you access to their IMEI number. My suggestion would be to start over from scratch.
Try GSII Repair by helroz. If that doesn't work you will need a professional restore. Mobiletechvideos can do it for a small fee.

i also tried to reflash the entire EFS using odin on bootloader section
i used "I9100_EFS_I9100XXKP9_CL45181_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5"
but without any luck ,imei still null/null
and i also noticed that the service menu is blank
phone : unknown
baseband :unknown
maybe its hardware related issue ?

.....you have an i777 or an i9100 international version of this phone?
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.

I'm speaking entirely from ignorance but did you flash the right variant? E.g did you flash 925F firmware on a 925F device? If I were to hazard a guess (and that's all this is, a guess) I'd say your radio firmware seems messed up (with baseband also being unknown).
What happens when you revert to your original firmware?

Did you flash the 5.1.1 version and then the 5.0.2? Flash the 5.1.1 again.

Sent from my SM-G925F using XDA Free mobile app
Only way to flash it back would be if you made a backup of the EFS partition when you first rooted/installed recovery. The EFS partition contains all the IMEI data which is unique to your phone and flashed at the factory. Since you corrupted it, the only way to restore it would be to flash the EFS backup if you made it or send it back to Samsung for service. AFAIK there isn't a way to recover lost IMEI's if the EFS partition has been corrupted/wiped.
That's ducks really badly

Yeah. I suggest sending it back for repairs and when you receive the new one, root and do a backup of the EFS partition after root. There are several guides online on how to do a backup of EFS using adb/terminal emulator. Keep this backup in a safe location and don't lose it.
You can flash what you want now, nothing will help you. Your EFS partition is gone and without this specific backup you cannot restore the IMEI number. Send the phone to Samsung, they can generate the IMEI number and restore the entire phone.
new trwp recovery have a option to backup.. will post the thread here as little warning in the twrp thread..
Yep I always backup my efs/imei folder as soon as I root phone.

Hi.
I did the same stupid thing a while ago with the same result (without efs backup). Forget about reflashing. The phone is now a mediaplayer.
I asked our local Samsung repair shop, but they wanted to exchange the entire motherboard. Thats how they fix these things in Sweden.
BUT there is an easy way to fix it.
If you have been flashing 5.11, then I dont know, but if you havent, then you can contact an IMEI fix website, and they will help you
by remote service. It works perfectly well. You will get a new IMEI and new serial number. Send me a PM for a link. There is not so many
people doing this, and it took me a while to find the right guy, but guess if I was happy when it was fixed
It will cost you some dollars (60 in my case), and you cannot upgrade to 5.11 later (I dont know why), but thats better than brick.
Hope this helps.

Is that actually legal? I'd send it to Sammy and get it properly fixed, rather than putting up with some dubious services. What if you want to sell the phone later? Have fun explaining why updating to 5.1.1 won't work. I wouldn't ever buy a phone if I heard that someone changed the IMEI. Changing the IMEI is usually associated with a stolen device.
I had the same problem (but IMEI dissapeared), when I flashed 5.0.2 didn't work. But Then flashed 5.1.1 and it worked. Try this. You will loose root.
