Hi, after a lot time invested in solving imei problem on my sgs3 i`m thinking of giving up. But before i give up i would like to hear opinion of xda users. Em, as title says i have imei problem which is common on sgs 3, but i think my problem differs from others.
I dont have wrong imei as others... my imei is null / null, serial is not 0000000 like others i have good serial(weired), baseband is unknown, wifi cant be turned, other things works just great...And to mention i have good efs.img which i restored couple of times but still imei null null i would be happy to get some wrong imei but no, whatever i do imei is null/null.
My nand memory is just good i can access every part of memory(efs,,, etc...) but i`m afraid that other hardware fault is arount the corner,,, like chip for proccessing things stored in efs, chip for radio,modem part or... IDK. What do u think it could be ? Hardware fault?

Hello.
I've tried to restore my original IMEI, since mine is set to 004999010640000, which is a fake. I've used repair application on Android Market and tried to fix it manually, but with no effect. It is still the same IMEI, regardless, what I do. I may be doing something wrong, but I am not sure. I run on ICS 4.0.1 and it is an original ROM. Rooted. Could you possibly help me with this case? I have an Internet connection and I can make calls, but IMEI is still fake. I also have power menu and lock screen working, so it is just matter of corrupted IMEI number, in my humble opinion.
I hope you help me.
Hi
I have an S2 GT-i9100 that someone gave me after they deleted the EFS folder from without taking a backup.
None of these fixes seem to work for me. I have IMEI unknown, IMEI SV unknown, Baseband is unknown, Network is unknown and the service menu displays no options. LOL!
Where the signal bars should be is a circle with a diagonal line through it.
I have rooted it, flashed several stock firmwares with Odin with no change.
I have an EFS backup from an old S2 (same model) that was water damaged beyond repair and thrown away. Is it possible to put that IMEI on this phone? I have tried copying it and going through this process detailed here and it completes fine but doesn't make a sausage of difference, even after reboot.
Any ideas or is it shagged?
I thought if the EFS folder was deleted the IMEI reverted to the Samsung default IMEI? When I dial the #06 all it says is "IMEI" in large letters.
Oh deary deary....

ignore this post! Someone took out the baseband chip. Well that was a waste of 3 hours!
hi guys, mine smartwatch is pretty damaged, i didnt do a backup of efs, and now i cant register on network, so i tried to restore stock rom, and baseband is back, but i still cant register on network, my imei is null and serial number shows 0123456789abcdef, is there anyway to fix this, cause the main problem is that the device itself is a smartwatch and it doesnt have the imei number writed on his back like regular phones, some pictures of the device are here
can someone help me out, thanks
Hi,
I got this phone from a friend and I don't know the history of it but is unable to detect any SIM card and the Baseband and IMEI appear as Unknown.
Do you have any idea on how to fix it?. Thanks in advance.
i had the same problem on 850FQ i bought few days earlier.
I digged deeper into the Issue and found out when someone wants to unlock their phone it can be done by 2 ways ONE: with an unlock code which people can buy from many online sites TWO: Using some hardware device i dont know its name. The repair guy told me sometimes a phones IMEI is also changed during the unlocking process and if the process is buggy then it may also damage IMEI AND BASEBAND.
Unknown imei/baseband can also be caused by a damaged "modem chip" or it can be caused by corrupt "EFS AND MODEM" folder while flashing custom roms. But since there is no ROOT and No firmwares available for the "A" model i guess your corrupt baseband is either due to "buggy unlocking" or it is a hardware malfunction. People who have the same problem in F or other models can try restoring factory firmwares with odin (from sammobile) but the folks with "A" Model are out of luck. i sold my phone as a demo unit cus i wasn't able to recover its baseband and imei.
Try a factory reset without simcard inserted, see if the imei comes back. if not you may sell it as a demo unit or keep the device for camera and music needs

Hello!
i have a galaxy s3 and it's now can't make calls or even enable mobile data so i don't have a network. But i know how to solve it but i have the real imei adress and the problem is that i don't have serial number (is not in the white box under the battery beacause i changed the motherboard and i put a new one which conatins a new IMEI adress and a new SN) Note: when i changed the new motherboard everything was working ok but i lost the SN just now
So all the data in the white box under the battery don't interest me cuz it's for the old motherboard.
So to fix that issue i want a methode to find the Serial Number through the IMEI adress. How can i do that? thanks

Sorry to give you the bad news, but there is absolutely NO relation between the SN and the IMEI. ABSOLUTELY NONE. The SN goes up by 1 at a time, but the IMEI, for the TAC, FAC and SNR it depends on the country of manufacture, the year/month of manufacture, and is assigned to each device in particular. SNR, along with the IMEI is random-ish, but the SN is not. SO this is why you can't retrieve the SN from the IMEI.
