good afternoon friends developers, I'm here looking for help
I install the ROM Revolution V3, but after installation, I forgot to backup my EFS folder
and my imei was corrupted and own a EMH1 baseband on android 4.3! and therefore I can not make calls because
it only goes "emergency calls only"
I need help, I can do that?:crying:
Try reading the hundreds of identical posts, or the sticky thread in general forum.

Hello everyone! I just bought a new S3 under contract with Orange,It does not have the brickbug firmware so all is good. However in relation to the rom changing efs partition format i have a question that i couldn't find an aswer for. I tried flashing the XXEMG4 and newer roms but they would not do anything to my phone except giving me emergency calls...however my phone works with older firmware and basebands but not with the new ones.. Could this be because it is sim-locked? and somehow my efs remains unchanged? or did i get it wrong?
RECAP: the phone works only with older firmware and basebands but not with new (efs changing) roms...giving me weird imei and emergency calls on newer roms etc,basically all the problems that people experience AFTER flash MG roms and trying to go back to older.

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.
Good Morning.
Last weekend I rooted my phone (Galaxy ACE s5830i) Everything wast going perfect, Superuser Worked, etc
When I tried to make a call or send a message I wasn't able, and the same happened when receiving a message or call.
After some browsing I saw that this error happens when the IMEI number changes or dissapears.
So I've checked on my about section on my phone and it says under IMEI number: Unknown
Then I tried to dial *#06# and the IMEI that appeared was: 00
My Phones Baseband is: s5830ixxld2
Is there a way I can get my IMEI number back?
What should I do?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
You should check the 5830i forum threads here and here (this is for 5830/L/B). There's a lot of threads about this issue. Maybe you can start here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2522264
Good luck!

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.

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.
