After a recent CM10.1 update my EMEI number changed to 00499901064000/01 , it is the wrong imei , i didnt backup my efs folder , is there a way i can change my imei number to the number behind my battery ? Any help would be appreciated :good:
IMEI
I meant imei
No, should've made a backup
What Can i Do ?
Is there any work around if i didnt backup efs data ? Any other way to revert or change back to my original IMEI number ?
So sad
I can extract my EFS data , can i maybe modify my nv_data.bin somehow and inject my imei number with a hex editor ?

Not a chance. If you could, thieves would have a field day.

Hi guys (and girls)
I just made a wrong move on my galaxy S3 and ended up changing my IMEI and loosing my backup EFS folder in a full wipe, I know I should have known better :crying:
So do you guys know a way to restore my S3's IMEI or could you guys give me your EFS folder and a way to modify it to change the IMEI inside?
I'm up for any solution, just help me out guys, I'm desperate :crying:
Thanks again :fingers-crossed:

Changing an IMEI is illegal and as such is banned on XDA .
Repairing your own IMEI is by restoring your EFS folder .
Not some other EFS folder as that does not have your IMEI .
Only other solution is a service centre .

Well here in France the service center verifies if the IMEI on the box and the back of the phone is the same as on the mobile!
So it's quite risky for me to return it. at best they would hand it back to me but won't repair it and at worst they would take it and never return it unless i filed a lawsuit and that's costly as hell
If you have used ktool to backup EFS,you can unzip efsdev-mmcblkop3 to get your efs...It's only my experience

That's why I have multiple backup of my EFS: on my phone, on my SDcard, on my USB stick, on my NAS, on my dropbox and on my computer (one on system HDD and one on data HDD)
Now, if you have no backup of your EFS your last chance is to go to a service center and hope that they accept to repair your phone...
Is it just an issue with money if they have to reflash your phone?

Unless your phone it's Qualcomm based (which means you're in the wrong forum), it won't work.
Do you made an efs backup before losing your imei ?
if not, send me a recent efs folder backup + efs partition img (with efs pro) and I'll try to recover your imei.

How do i send it to you?
Upload it to mediafire or send it by email to my name at Google dot com
I´ve rooted my s3 and now is my IMEI 004999010640000/01 and after that it is not possible to make calls,. I´ve read a lot of pages about restoring IMEI by EFS back up I have, but nothing still work. Can somebody help me??
EFS back up was created after rooting so maybe that the reason, why I cannot restore (restoring works but with false data of IMEI, is it write??) So have can I put my IMEI back without back up??
Thank you
Factory reset flash stock rom that fails it is a service centre repair.
The efs backup is in tar or tar.gz format ? If yes just unpack it using 7zip and copy paste efs folder contents from backup to phone efs folder ....

You only rooted? Is that the FULL story? How did you root?
Hi everyone

You can´t just replace the imei with another efs.img , your safest bet it´s to take it to a guy with a z3x or octopus box so he can re-wirte your original imei, i have a phone with a similar issue, imei 35000000000 (invalid) that is common on modded phones, you can try flashing the original stock firmware with odin, but it will probably not fix the issue, now, if you just want the phone to recover the pin function, flash it but it wont fix the imei issue.

Hi,
Newbie enthusiast here, can someone point me to the right direction on how to backup the EFS partition properly? I've seen guides for other units but I don't know if they are applicable to poco f1. Any help is much appreciated. Thank You.

You require a genuine IMEI number, otherwise the phone will not work. So what will you do with dummy data?
