If you did not follow the instructions for EFS backup then no .
But you can always read the thousands of identical posts on Google and XDA .
jje
it's impossible for us to help you, since you provided zero information.
what phone model? what ROM? when did it start? what have you tried doing? do you have an efs backup?

OP, were you able to fix your problem?
I have a S3 i9300 that fell on water and now SIM cards are not recognized, IMEI is null/null and Baseband is unknown. Needless to say that I have no network and cant acess google play store. Phone is rooted but with stock 4.1.2 android, I never flashed custom Roms. I ordered a SIM/SD tray replacement but my guess is that it wont solve my issue. My expensive smartphone is now a simple multimedia player, can you please help me?
Thanks in advance

i have 2 galaxy s3 i9300 . my first i9300 has a fake imei and my second just the right imei
what if i copy my second i9300 efs folder and then put it on my first i9300 will it fix the no service issue
and sorry for bad english
Sounds like you have at least one stolen phone. Good luck getting help with that.
i installed omega v14 and it change my imei i forget to back it up i didn't stole it
and the phone with changed imei i buy it at t-mobile netherlands shop
And the other phone?
Regardless, you won't find much help trying to spoof an IMEI.
to phone with the original imei i buy at typhone.nl with vodafone contract if u dont believe just dont i want to fix the no service issue
No you cannot transplant IMEI numbers since they are encrypted with (amongst others) the device/CPU ID which is unique and unchangeable for all devices. It would be illegal anyway, additionally since you will not be able to use both phones at the same time pointless.
Have it repaired by Samsung (depending on the location and serice center it should cost you some 60-ish $.
Then, wehn you get it back, do the damn EFS backup so you wont have that same issue again.
okay thanks i have one last question what do i say if samsung ask whats wrong with this phone
Hi, I think your problem is generic IMEI, you can recover your original IMEI by flashing it with stock ROM. Or try to find a repairing shop which have SPT box or Octopus box.

flash it back to a stock Rom with Odin. Since you are on xda you should know how to do this with ease. Use the search button.

There are so many posts in this forum to recover corrupted IMEI. One simple method is try to flash it with original stock ROM or in efs folder, rename the 'nvdata.bin.bak' file to 'nvdata.bin' and replace the old one.
First go through the original posts and then try the above methods...
thanks i already trying instal stock rom but no luck
here u can see my screen shot of the efs folder .

Um... I think the OP has some explaining to do - since late August s/he has been posting asking for help to fix IMEI in a number of threads - in fact that has been the ONLY topic/question for all the posts. Previously s/he was in Thailand and now it is 'live in Netherlands' - also one phone has a fake IMEI and the other doesn't yet both have been bought from vendors. One has to wonder why s/he wouldn't simply go back to the vendor and get the stuffed phone repaired? Apparently it IS working, (i.e. not hard-bricked) so it would seem all that is needed is to pay a service fee and 'Voila!' working S3.
Logically this leads to a thought about the legitimacy of the 2nd (and maybe both) phone(s) - 3 weeks of trying many threads to get someone to provide a new IMEI seems a little excessive.
Agree this and the multiple posts is getting very suspicious . Plus not the only post asking to borrow somebody's EFS folder .
jje
yup
Closed, you have already opened a thread on this, more than once, send it to samsung and they will fix it, seems you are beyond repaid at this point.
as Samsung till now don't update GT-I9100G with gelly bean. I decided to flash a custom rom
I downgrade as you advised me to ICS 4.0.3 KSA but I still have Insane chip
Now I must flash a CWM to flash the custom rom, It's safe to do this now as I will wipe data from it (CWM)
1-What is the appropriate CWM to my phone? and how can I flash it Via odin or Via Recovery mode?
2-I'm living in KSA which rom i choose [JB][4.2.1] CyanogenMod 10.1 official nightlies or [JB 4.1.2][PA2.55][AOKP-ML1][CM10]P.A.C True All in 1 ROM? as I need mobile to read and write arabic without any external applications.
3- I had a problem "my phone is always open but when some one try to call me it say mobile is closed" Is that from the rom cause of different modem in rom or how can i fix this (this problem not from the carrier as i try the sim in Nokia mobile and worked fine).

Cheers for now!

first, u have a 'G' model (I9100G) which is quite Different Hardware wise fro I9100 international version and its variants M/P/T etc, so any advice given to u here with some gross oversight might hardbrick ur phone for sure ma8
hence i have given u the appropriate link for ur model (I9100G) in my previous post, so visit there and see
u have a 'Q & A' thread for i9100g there also, so try posting ur issue there for better results.
Hope its clear for u know
Thread closed.
Remember guys, ROMs/kernels etc are all subjective so there really is no "best ROM" only ROMs that work best for you

Try to boot to download or recovery and restore your efs backup.
If you don't have one you will have to pay for a motherboard replacement and learn a very expensive lesson, don't delete something you don't know about.

Deleted EFS is a dead phone you will need to one restore your backed up EFS folder if possible or two take to a service centre and pay for a repair .
Or flash stock firmware via Odin following the instructions .
Questions = Q&A .

Except 1 you can't reset the counter unless you can boot to Android and 2 they would not swap a motherboard for a soft brick they will just do an emergency upgrade and the efs will still be wiped.

Factory reset or reinstall rom .
But logic says you ask the question in that roms thread they will say its normal for that rom .
jje
First of all you must be mad! Posting your IMEI is crazy idea!!!
You need to set up APN manually and it will work.
On screenshot, your IP is unavailable because you're not connected to network. Turn WiFi on and IP will be back. The "ERI" is normally "OFF" as well. Nothing wrong with your phone.

Everything on screenshot looks normal. Your APN can be fixed after F.Reset but screen will look exactly the same.
My phone is working fine and stats are the same if WiFi is OFF....

hi, recently i rooted my sgs3 , made a full backup using cwm but didnt backup my efs folder and flashed 4.2.2 PA rom which causes the phone to lose its imei and signal . instead of doing recovery procedures i tried to fix the problem by flashing other roms ( 4.2.2 leaked XXUFME7 , CM 10.2 , restored the backup and even tried the stock firmware ) and then tried many repair procedures and none of them worked!
1 - is there any way i can get my imei back ( like re-partition )
2 - any way i can extract my old efs folder from the backup
i am in pakistan so i cant send it to a trusted repair center because there arent any
If you did flash MG4 previously
if you fash MG4 before the problem, try to flash again MG4. But if you did not flash the MG4 ever on your phone, try not to because it changes the structure efs. if you flash MG4, will no longer be possible to flash in a previous firmware. But if flash MG4 in a unit that had been flash with this firmware, it will again play the efs and will get right back imei
The backup does not contain efs.

Are you doing full flash via odin? Id do that. If still not - repair. Local phone repair shop should be able to fix

i did same thing ...only option you have is to send to samsung repair centre.....if its under warranty still???..Unless you know some one who can reflash the chip which contains all the firmware and efs files cause flashing through odin wont work as that only over writes the files....the phone simply needs to be reprogrammed from scratch...
