[Q] IMEI & S/N null. How do i fix this? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I already checked half the internet after a solution. Read the 9-step solution to no avail, tried using NV-read-write tool to dump a new IMEI, tried autoprime's solution (failed), I tried GSII_Repair and still nothing.
My actual IMEI show as 004999010640000 and my S/N as 00000000000.

Thanks for the help, but I tried re-flashing ROMs a lot of times already, from 4.0.4 up to 4.1.2, and none fixed it. I guess I'll just send it to a technical assistance and have them fix it.

Newbies Guide to Rooting x10 Help Please!

Hey all,
I have been having abit of trouble rooting my x10, i am currently using the Newbies guide on the Forum but have tried other Guides as well but with no luck.
When I get to step 1 and Flash my X10 this is what it says in cmd prompt:-
INFO: start
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
at java.lang.string.<init><Unknown Source>
at X10flash.testPluged<X10flash.java:103>
at X10flash.run<X10flash.java:375>
at X10flash.main<X10flash.java:417>
Press any key to continue
Now to me that seems like it has worked?
After that, in the guide it says that you will notice Generic X10i R1FA016 firmware (check it by pressing the left button, go to settings>about phone and at the very bottom under build number)
I go to check that but it isnt there... I press onto next step anyways.
I Delete Folders 4 & 5, put phone in Debugging mode on and also Unknown sources on, plug USB in and keep my phone unmounted.
I then Start up Step 2 and wait for the Option 6 to pop up on my phone but it never comes up?
So I do not know what to do now, I have gone back and tried doing it over again, going onto SEUS and Reseting it and starting fresh etc.
Can someone please help me
Thank you Chad.

Clearly you haven't or you would know why your seeing what you do when you run step 1, which is because you've not entered the correct device id.
The 1 thing I didn't try worked...
I tried changing the Device ID to the other one and got The java error...
Then I tried changing the Device ID and changing the USB port and it worked?
Something wrong with the other USB port maybe? Wierd....
Thank you XperiaX10iUser for the replies anyways

Possibly. So where are you at now?
Followed the guide all the way through to the end with no other problems!
Thank god for that, can't believe it was the USB Port
All good now though, just trying out different themes and apps to get.
What Theme are you using, any good suggestions?
Was 1 more thing I wanted to ask though, that Newbies Guide roots your phone, but roots it to the R2BA023 Build.
Can you update it too R2BA026 and keep it rooted?

Is rooting this much easy?

I came across this thread which hints at rooting in a very simple and in few seconds...My question is that if it is this much easy then why it has been made so complicated in other ways??? Is it really working??? Is there any drawbacks in this type of rooting??? should I go for this way of rooting???

Why you chose to make a new thread (and in the wrong place at that) rather than just posting in the one you linked is beyond me.

First of all thanks a lot for the reply..Sorry for the mistake I made to post it here..I was thinking that it is Q & A forum because I opened several tabs at a time.
The reason I made a separate thread was that I wanted other people also to comment not just those people who replied to that thread...Because I didn't see any expert member to comment on that thread.
Sorry if I am wrong...I am noob to android phone...Before I was using windows phone.
Rooting or flashing is easy as long as you can read, interpret and understand. If you can't, well that is where the "complications" come in.

BTW the only reason for me to root was to get rid of Samsung blotware.
If you are new to this (I'am) don't delete apps ... freeze using Titanium Pro and PLS read this list before you freeze anything:
https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?hl=en_US&hl=en_US&key=0Ag43oj7rLQP4dENZcmhGN0ZUa3pHSENVeXlqUm5vV0E&single=true&gid=0&output=html
I don't know if this method is really an exploit or just a consequence of the Android platform being a development platform open to anyone with a PC and an USB cable to install things...
But the problem with real exploits is that they can be fixed on future versions and be device/manufacturer specific. While installing modified kernels is a feature available for most devices at the cost of the warranty (sometimes).

Root is a very very easy process.
If you root your phone AND ALSO flash it with a custom rom, you ll never look back!
Its easy untill u burn your phone

Galaxy S2 SGH i 777(UCKK6) rooted, clockwork mod "signature" failure

Hi guys,
New to forum. Please delete this thread if you think this is duplicate. But I can't find any solutions so far. I searched the whole xda forum and googled but of no avail. I looked at the suggestions you give at the time of posting, but no.
Here is my problem.
I followed an excellent thread for rooting the stock rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1286432. I got UCKK6 Stock rom working with root and got all the other apps that make use of rooting.(Except I could not find out how to say thank you. Thank you Entropy! ) ). Now I want to install Clockworkmod recovery and I get Signature failed error. I use, the (prohibited) ROMManager.(I cant find an alternative, on SGH i 777 at least.)
Please help me.
Had you spent some time reading through the FAQ and stickies you might have seen the warnings against using ROMManager. Did you try searching for an answer because this is a common pitfall of people who flash a ROM without knowing what they're doing. The stickies in General have your answers.
Yes. I did that. Unfortunately I could not find the alternatives mentioned to for SGH i 777. That's what I am saying in my original post. Please if you can find it, can you post the link?
Thanks
Simple - install a kernel with Clockworkmod.
OK. So flashing a new kernel is the only solution? There is no way I can get around signature issue? Do I have to use Odin, instead of recovery? since obviously recovery is doing signature verification?

Yes, you have yo flash another kernel with CWM embedded in it to have CWM... you need to either use Odin or Kernel Flasher to get that. After you flash a kernel with CWM embedded in it, you will be able to go into CWM recover and flash everything else.
OK. Thanx. And I love the way you guys give quick replies.
(And I get the message read and read. It's just that you won't a get a solution for all the problems from existing threads. The forum is exhaustive but it's not complete is it?)

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....

[Q] How to Fix error "md5 mismatch"?

Hello!
I read many post about this error and I tried to do like said here, but I still have the same error.
What I have:
1. Backup path without spaces - /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/2013-01-05.02.02.02
2. 3 files: boot.img, system.ext4.img and nandroid.md5
3. CWM 5.5.0.4
I tried calculate md5 by TotalCommander, MD5 Calculator and Terminal Emulator. All sums were equals.

open nandroid.md5 with root explorer and delete all the contents in it or copy it to another file, than save empty file and try restore.

I don't know about it. This backup from another device (device like mine, but firmware newer). Perhaps it were made by MTK Droid Tools.

Nandroid backups can only be restored when the CWM used to make them must be of the same version, if you only require certain data or files from it, you can use Nanadroid Browser (download from google play store) to copy them from your backup
