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

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?
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
4. finish

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.

You will have to flash to a newer firmware in order to get it back.
Hello
There is probably some thread already going on about this, but there's too much information i can't locate exactly what i'm looking for.
So my apologies in advance for bringing this up again.
My problem is my IMEI nr changed to 0049.... after i flashed the latest version of Omnirom on my Galaxy S3 I9300, and now i can't make any phonecalls nor receive text messages. Wifi seems to be working. Before it was running smoothly with Cyanogenmod.
So can someone please give me a step by step solution to fix this sjit? Or redirect me to the correct thread, or whatever that can get this issue solved?
I'm surely willing to donate to whoever helps me out.
Big thanks in advance!:good:

What i meant was if the phone needed to be rooted before flashing the firmware...
Meanwhile i flashed it, but i seems to be stuck on the Samsung-screen loader. Before that all apps were updated, but still stuck now loading....
Any more suggestions?
Yes: Boot into Recovery. This must be StockRecovery, otherwise your flash failed. Then do FactoryReset.

You just need to flash the Alka recovery on it
and after that you flash any ROM (I prefer NX),
the correct Gapps and then the correct modem.
After that everything should be back to normal.

Maybe you lost your efs partition and your IMEI? In Settings -about phone- Status you can check it
