I couldn't find any thread about my situation, so decided to make one and wish to find help for this little problem:
So i forgot to backup my EFS folder, flashed custom ROM and phone got into bootloop. I fixed that but lost my imei during progress.
I sent my phone to repair because I don't have any required tools to rewrite IMEI but now I'm facing a new problem; repairing store has samsung anyway jig but no skills to repair IMEI and they are asking me to help them, so how does repairing IMEI work with samsung anyway jig? I have no experience about that. For the record, i know it is illegal to change your IMEI but my goal is to get the original one back. Would send stats about my phone but it's at repair so all i can say it's I9300 (INTERNATIONAL!!!! NEE) 4.3JB with stock ROM and IMEI is now 0049...
the only thing I can think of is the sticker with your imei is damaged and unreadable therefore the only other place it is written down is on the factory shipped box. Apart from that any further discussions regarding changing or modifying imei are forbidden on these boards

You just need the 4.1.2 MG4 firmware from BTU region . I recovered my imei on i9300 after using this firmware.
here's the link: http://rapidgator.net/file/7a1606232...9e7efe8d0e1cdb
Do a backup of your efs after flashing
Send it for Jtag...
They can fix any imei or bricked device issues..

Questions go in the q&a forum, report your own post and ask a moderator to move it.
We can't help you with imei restoring, take it to a reputable repairer instead.

Head over to i9100 forums and look there. There are many threads there relating to this....also, when you ask, spend a little time explaining exactly how you lost it.
If you haven't backed it up you may have to send it to Sammy

install original samsung GB firmware, root it, back up efs, install whatever rom you like and revert your efs backup... duh... besides: this question has been answered several times... on the correct forums...
I'd vote to close this thread -_-
Hello Everybody,
After rooting and flashing my galaxy S3 GT-I9300 I got some problems. I can't connect to the network and my IMEI has changed. I tried changing the IMEI following the instructions in this guide.
That didn't work. I figured that my phone might be t'mobile branded but i'm still not sure. So i installed a t-mobile ROM. This gave me more problems. The phone didn't start at all. Even charging was not possible.
At the store they flashed the stock rom for me. It does start but still weird IMEI and doesn't connect to the network. I also have these signs on screen (See print screen).
Can anybody help me please? Thank you!:good:
(sorry for my bad English)
Please ask this question in the relevant IMEI thread.
Basics read first.

Hi everyone,
I hope someone can assist me.
I rooted my i9300 device using Samsung Galaxy S3 ToolKit.
After installing Omega ROM 46.1
What i discovered after installing omega rom is that my IMEI number had changed to 004999010640000 and am no longer registered on my network.
I then went to rom manager as i had a backup of my sock rom i restored it but still no network says not registered to network.
i went to a couple of forums n dowloaded offical stock rom from this link (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2005286) still no network no back up nothing and the emie is still changed 004999010640000.
current version on mmy ph is
GT I9300
model 4.1.2
basebande version : I9300xxemb6
kernel version : 3.0.31 -1071725
build number : jzo54k.i9300xxemc3
after installing stock rom from this link (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2005286)
So basically:
I get the wrong IMEI number when running stock android from Samsung.
and nothing seems to work as not network
Can someone assist me with this? as i am new to changing roms .
You're going to have to search, as discussion of methods to change a device's IMEI is illegal in many places and cannot be discussed on XDA.
Sorry that it's not much help, but the answers are out there if you use Google properly.

Go to Faqs and Guides and read and post in the EFS/ IMEI thread we do not need yet another thread.
As it looks like you failed to backup your EFS as per the instructions its best to take it to a service centre for repair .
Please read the stickies then if you have any questions post in the sticky thread which is actively maintained. Also its IMEI not EMIE
I there all, my imei changed for another one during the upgrade proccess from 4.1.2 to 4.3.

Well what modem are you using. Please ensure you are using XXEMG4 or above modem.
Read the efs 'know this stuff' thread, it may not fix your problem if you didn't back up your efs folder first -but it contains the reason for your problem and the only answers.
Duplicate question asked many times before.

Already a sticky about this, please dont post duplicate threads.
Hello guys,I know theres many threads about lost imei/sn/efs after this efs v2 came out,but I was trying hard whole day to get my i9300 back,read like 100threads and nothing helped.
Situation :
I had custom rom (s4 revoultion 4.3 touchwiz) and everything was working well, In meanwhile I got my s4 so I decided to unroot/flash stock rom from sammobile with odin,but I forgot about that efs v1/v2 thing. I flashed rom,everything was working except phone says that there is no SIM card. My phone was factory simfree,so no problems there. I tried flashing all kind of roms(aosp,aokp,cm,tw 4.1.2;4.3;4.2.2), My IMEI and SN are there,and are valid/same as on the box of phone,so I didn't lost my imei/sn. Thanks for your help.
Try your sim in another phone, try another sim in your phone. If your phone won't read the other sim then your card reader is broken.
