[Q] Lost my IMEI after downgrade from 4.3 - Sony Xperia Z Ultra

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

Solved!
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.

Man...just follow these steps accurately, also read the FAQS...
nothing to be afraid of, its simple...and safe
-Download the v20 file for the new baseband...and do as directed.
and flash a new baseband rom...
EDIT: Do not flash CM9 before going to new baseband. U can flash it afterwards, if u want.
The safest and easiest way to get the new BB is to update to stock official GB using LG update.

[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] IMEI change

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.

Is it still not possible for SM-T220 and SM-T225? Maybe there is a way to do and trick/bypass binary version via some kind of custom recovery? I'm kinda new to this topic would appreciate any informative responce! Thank You in advance!
very risky to try. for now bootloader was version 4 , Your BL must be v.1 if you want to downgrade firmware.
I know right, so there is absolutely no way to downgrade to android 11 with bootloader version 1 if I have bootloader version 2 or above and android 13?
