dear Naeem,
Reading your posts, I do suppose that you did a firmware upgrade or a new installation. Then this happened ... in settings > about device > status > IMEI ... you can not read the original imei number anymore.
Dude, just flash a stock sammy firmware and maybe you do get imei back...

One restore your backed up EFS folder or try factory reset or flash stock rom ,
Fails then get a price from service centre to repair .
Or get your very stupid friend to pay .
No idea what phone you are using do you know .

Your only solution is to restore your EFS folder from the backup that you should have made at the start.

No ??? admittedly few in number have resolved EFS problem by factory restore or and flash stock rom .
As the OP has flashed firmware for another phone it could well be more than just EFS i am afraid .

I tried it before. The first thing I did was restore. But same **** = no connection
So there isn't any other way?
If you flashed a wrong firmware you may have messed up your partitions, hence why you have lost efs.....so if nothing works a flash with pit maybe necessary....but I strongly suggest trying all other fixes first.
i will try stock rom now. but maybe i have to format everything? so that new rom maybe fix it?

If you haven't backed up your EFS, generally the phone needs to be sent for repair.

warranty is over date. Please help me to give any info that might help.
Samsung generally offer a two year warranty .
If you failed to backup EFS then first try flashing stock firmware .
Fails then search read the multiple EFS/ IMEI posts on here as some claim to have fixed .

Simple lazy boy method .
Take it to a service centre you cannot repair an IMIE /EFS with no backup .
you do have a habit of breaking phones judged by previous posts so let some one with some skill fix it

If you do that you will probably end up paying for a new motherboard, take the advice you've been given and pay for the repair - or not, it's your choice.

[SOLVED] Invalid IMEI after installing ROM

Hello guys,
I installed 4.1.2 Android from 4.2.2 and now my phone can't read my SIM card. When I try to unlock my phone with GalaxSim Unlock it says "Warning: invalid IMEI. Restoring an EFS backup before unlocking is advised." The IMEI code on *#06# and on my phone's box are different. I have no ideas what I can do because I have never had this problem before after ROM installing. How I can solve this problem?
Now my phone is unrooted and it is 4.1.2 Android.

It may do if you flash anything that isnt stock sammy based, that mean cyanogenmod or aokp or aosp could cause the problem again However, this can be solved by downloading the current radio you have now in zip form and if you do lose the radio flashing the zip via clockworkmod ok ! you understand ? the latest samsung based rom change the actual file system on the efs partition, it makes it unreadable if you flash a earlier rom after flashing the latest stock firmware, it can be fixed by replacing it with a efs backup but becase you didnt read the info in the "NOBODY EVER BLOODY READS THIS SECTION" Section you cannot go back, at least there is no known way yet , so follow my instructions you will be fine or just stick with sammy based rom, also you lose video calling on non sammy based roms...Just saying...peace out ..Swukjay...You need any help any time feel free to ask me or rootSU , HE IS GRUMPY But he knows his **** and will help out if your nice to him :laugh::laugh::laugh: ...peace out

[Q] Lost my IMEI after downgrade from 4.3

Dear Sir,
I lost IMEI of my Z Ultra C6802 after downgrade from the new 4.3 by using Flash Tool. Could you please recommend, how can I recover my IMEI back? Thank you in advance.
ps. I follow this instruction, but did not help.

2. after finding the code install Android Emulator and after installing just type the command "SU" without the quotes
NB: The Android Emulator with linux commands
3. then go to the root by type SU, and type this
echo ‘AT+EGMR=1,7,”YOUR IMEI“‘ >/dev/pttycmd1

My IMEI is back to normal after I flashed C6802_14.1.B.2.257_Generic MY. At first, I flashed C6802_14.1.B.1.532_HK, It made my IMEI gone.
