Hi all
My IMEI number has changed as flashed another s3 rom on and I am sending my phone to samsung for repair would my warranty be void or still valid.
IMEI chaned to 09 to 06 on the sticker of the phone, behind the batt says 09, also I have reset counter as well.and also my IMEI is still the same
IMEI changed if its the last 2 digits like 352xxxxxxxxxxx/o6 then it does not matter .
Warranty requires all steps as posted in the return to stock for warranty post to be completed .

Hi guys
I have a Galaxy S2 is has develeped a fault where the IMEI data is no longer on the phone, thus causing the phone to not be able to load any sim card. This occured when my battery ran completely out of charge and when I recharged it, and turned it on my sim was not working.
I tried a few things, none worked. But typing *#06# brings up a box with IMEI as the title but no number in the box.
Also typing in *#1234#
The phone should display this
PDA: i9100XWKI4
PHONE: I9100XXKI1
CSC:I9100CPWKH1
Build info: Wed Sep 14 20:34:11 KST 2011
But mine displays this.
PDA: i9100XWKI4
PHONE: unknown
CSC:I9100CPWKH1
Build info: Wed Sep 14 20:34:11 KST 2011
My phone has never been rooted and no custom ROMs have been installed. It is fully stock.
I logged a repair request with Samsung and sent it off for repair, however their repair agent have refused to repair due to warranty being invalid due to apparent moisture in the external port of the USB port on the phone. They sent me a blurry image which proves nothing. (I cannot link as im need 8 posts in order to link the image).
The repair agent wants £54 for a new port and then they will reinstate my warranty and repair the data corruption for "FREE". Well I'm rather annoyed about this as the repair agent have confirmed that the fault has not occured due to moisture in the port. I am not willing to pay the repair and they have returned the phone to me. MY 24 month contact is up this summer so I dont want to pay £54 for the FREE repair.
From what I understand the phone has had it's EFS file corrupt, thus causing the ID of the phone to be "gone". Is there any way in which I can get this repaired myself? Either with software of some other means?

My issue is that I cannot get the market place working, so the osftware I need cannot be installed, I factory reset my phone prior to sending it back to Smaunsgs repair agent.
My GS2 suddenly got stuck in flightmode did a hard reset now shows no service!!!
has no baseband what should i do
I've not rooted my phone neither used any custom rom's please help
Thanking in anticipation
If you've not rooted your phone nor flashed any custom firmware on it, best bit of advice I can give you is send it in for warranty service. You risk losing your warranty if you try many of the 'fixes' on here.
If you do try these & they don't work, you'll end up paying to have your phone fixed, whereas now you should be able to have it fixed under warranty.
hello,
unfortunately it's past warranty period, what do you suggest now?
thanks
Since your out of warrenty then you could give this a try:-

Look for XWKF3
and download the correct firmware for your region.
Follow the instructions given on the same page to install it.
[Edit].. Power off then go into recovery first and data/factory reset before installing firmware..( 3 button combo(volume up-home-power)) to get into recovery.

Only you know why no IMEI in regards to the past firmware on your phone . Crystal ball not working today .
No baseband possibly you never flashed modem.
IMEI restore your backed up EFS no backup try factory restore .
That fails service centre .

from the phone pad dial *#06#
This will give you your IMEI Number
If the number is 004999010640000
then this is the fake IMEI that is assigned to the phone if the nv_data.bin file is messed up.
Go Here:-

If its a different number
Then remove the battery and check the underside of the phone
your IMEI number is written here...Does it match!!
If stiil not working then it needs to go into the service centre
Did you flash a modem? Do it. If you don't see the baseband still try this:
Airplane mode ON. Power off, take out battery for 5 minutes. Put it back. power on. Airplane mode off.
no i"ve not flashed the modem, it's got NO iMEI
thanks all for your time.
Flashed my phone with latest Lite'ning Rom, everything is fine now.
I hope you've backed up your EFS stuff.

Could you tell me where you got your lightning ROM from and how you did it? I am facing the same problem and tried flagging xwke8 and xwkf3 but both didn't work.
Thanks,

I'm having the exact same problem..... please advice!
Hi friends, I have a Gt-I9300, I went to Mexico, Panama I used it, perfect, I come back to Venezuela, I change the SIM card and the phone signal is lost, I don't have a real imei, I have a fake one.
Additional, some times the phone show me a message like "factory mode".
I already try to recover EFS, work some tutorials, but nothing. I tried to change the Rom, and install the last one in samfirmware (Android 4.0.4, I9300XXBLFB in PDA, I9300PHEBLG1 in CSC) and nothing happens, still without signal and imei.
For your help.

Why do you want to change your IMEI. Unless it is stolen/lost and reported as such to the authorities which have it blocked?
Note: The OP is asking how to recover from losing their IMEI, not how to change it.
To answer your question, send it back to samsung under warranty and they will fix it.
Sorry its the
I don't have a real imei, I have a fake one.
thats slightly confused me fake as in user faked .
OP
Possible the Sim is faulty .
Additional, some times the phone show me a message like "factory mode
Thats rather odd and i would certainly say also return to Samsung .

No I don't want to change the imei, the phone is showing another imei number. It's not my imei number.
It's not stolen or reported. Just is not showing the imei on the box, or in the back of the phone.

Unfortunatrly your phone's EFS storage got corrupted.
Did you flash a custom ROM? It shouldn't get lost by itself.
The only chance you have is to return it to the seller andmake a warranty claim.
When you get your next phone / fixed phone, root it and backup the /efs partition. That way this cannot happen to you ever again.
ive got the dreaded 04 imei number on my Samsung s2 after bad flash my wife has the same phone can I clone the imei from the working phone to my broken one if so what software ect would I need
Changing phone IMEI's is illegal in most civilised countries, 'cloning' an IMEI from one device to another is not permitted because each device must have its own unique IMEI. Discussion of same is also not allowed here. Without a backup of the EFS of that particular phone, you won't be fixing it yourself. Take it to a local mobile repair shop or Samsung service centre.
Cloning is illegal and a good way to get both devices blacklisted. Please do not discuss anything about modifying IMEI's here.
