No, you can't get a new imei by installing that app, it can only help if you made a backup of your efs folder before you broke it. Suggest you go read the basics in general, sticky threads. Nandroid does not backup efs.

i have previously made a backup but when i try to restore nothing happens and the generic imei doesn't change
You needed to understand the basics, there is a good reason why it isn't working. Go read the thread I mentioned.

Hi everyone
i swear that i read like 100 diferents threads about imei issues and i can't fix mi problem...
i had a Samsung Galaxy S3 i9300, the normal one, not the verizon, sprint or at&t.
accidentally i deleted or format some files of the phone that are really important by an option that i founded on the "RECOVERY MODE".
Ussually i only format de "DATA/FACTORY RESET" and the "CACHE PARTITION" but i have an other option that i click on it.... even when i was alerted about the risks.
So when i reboot the phone i couldn't get any access to the network and my imei was "004999010640000 / 01"...
i didn't have any backup of mi EFS file and i have another SGS3-i9300 so i back up the EFS folder of the working SGS3 and i rewrite de EFS folder of the bricked one.
Resuming i lost any chance of recover the IMEI from de .nv_data.bak file or any kind of this options....
I need to know if there's any way to fix this issue....
like write the original imei on any file of the EFS folder cause i have al the numbers but i don't know where to write them....
or any another idea...
Thanks any way:good::good::good:
Sending it to Samsung is probably the only option now
Flash a stock rom, and try again. If it doesn't work run the ariza patch.

Sp, here I am. I updated to MG5 and my modem got modified. No other modem works and I know it why. The question is, Can I restore my efs if I use a backup of my friend's efs? Will that cause any damage to my phone?
From what I learned about efs from another topic pertaining to lg optimus g ( I'm sure its the same for all devices ). The efs stores your imei number and such. But other users may correct me if I'm wrong. So using your friends efs wouldn't help at all. I'm a noob to all of this still.

efs does store our imei details. Pre MG4 modems had a different efs format. The format was kinda updated by samsung on MG4 and MG5 roms. I have no signals on any 4.2.2 roms either. However, an older backup may restore the previous format, no matter if the backup was made on someone else's device. Right?
I honestly couldn't tell you bub. I don't want to say go ahead and do it and then something else messes up.. I would wait for a reply from a much more knowledgeable person. Sorry that I couldn't help.

Your friends efs back up has your friends' imei , which if you use would be modifying your imei , which is kinda unnesessary. If you have your own efs back up just restore it.
sent from the state where Marijuana is NOT illegal !
Just go back to an EMGx modem.
you need an efs backup before installed mg4 or mg5 rom. for now no way to go back old efs format without a backup. and another efs file doesnt work with your phone. efs file contains encrypted imei and something phone information for detecting craking

Hi there. Today I updated my i9300 from 4.1.2 to 4.3 via odin. I don't know why but I have a known "no register data" problem. And my IMEI DIDN'T CHANGE. In the settings there is a signal strenght -87dBm 13asu. So, what can I do? I want to call my mom..
PS: I checked, my SIM card works, in my other phone.

Questions go in the q&a forum, report your own post and ask a moderator to move it.
Your handset was probably unlocked using the old patch system, or patched for serial number corrupt. None of those patches work with the latest firmware.
If you try to downgrade you will probably lose imei as well, as your efs folder was changed during the update.
If you followed the xda guides you should have backed up your efs folder before you flashed, without a backup you are stuck.
Try reading the sticky thread efs 'know this stuff' for more information.

is it safe to flash the boot.img using odin? (packaging it as tar.md5)
Pay for a repair, default CWM backup doesn't include efs partition.

Which firmware you are running with?
Check MG4 modem in net, that should solve your problem if you are using Android 4.3

Which ROM did you flash exactly that destroyed the IMEI? Happened to me awhile ago, dont remember what i flashed. What i did was, just find a ROM (4.3) which has Aroma with modem selection. I just reinstalled till i found the right one.
