I accidentally wiped Efs partition and now there is no imei , no bandwidth.
Tried Galaxy Toolbox method, trying to instal different firmwares, Installations from Sammobile firmwares, stock firmwares, etc still no imei
I want EFS folder from someone so that i can restore it and then change the imei with imei changer tool.
And any way to get back my phone's imei

He didn't try to unlock it did he??
You ever figure it out
I have the same problem. somebody please help me
I have the same problem as well, happens randomly on my vibrant. No service and imei null/null. flashing thru clockwork doesnt change it but odin fixes it temporarily.
I take it that nobody backed up their original EFS folder and files..
When rooting you had to back up your original EFS folder before trying to unlock your device!
EFS contains sensitive IMEI information.
I don't think you can recover the imei if you never backed it up to begin with.
So you might have null/null IMEI or even a fake IMEI 0000XXXX <-- something like that.

I did backup original EFS and restored as well. It shows my original IMEI but randomly my phone shows no service and my IMEI is reset to null/null. If I remove battery and reboot phone everything works fine until God knows when.

I used Root explorer to make a back up folder and Zip, which i loaded on to dropbox. Is this ok to do?
yes Zack that will work.

Hi
i did a mistake by flashing my S3 and erased the IMEI. I have any backups from the efs folder.
Now the phone cant find the SimCard and cant connect to the GSM Network.
Is it possible to restore the IMEI by another software based solution?
Or ist my phone scrap?
Thx

Thx for the Information
Any idea how much it will cost?

In fact you can restore your IMEI if you have one (f.e. it should be printed on box with your SGS3), my friend successfully restored his EFS by downloading filestructure and replacing some variables like imei, BT mac etc.
Search for QSTP to repair imei of the phone.

It is better to unroot, reset flash counter and send it in for IMEI re-programming.

Of course it's better but sometimes you can't send it for whatever reason .

Take the phone to a service centre
Samsung shv-e210s imei
I had a official Rom 4.4.4 with my samsung korean phone before, i flashed a custom rom then my IMEI-Null, Basband-UNKNOWN, No network. So i try to make it back, i flashed so many patch files according to tutorials on internet. finally my phone bricked i think. i couldnt open even custom recovery. Samsung kies didnt help too, how ever i could open download mode, So i flashed latest korean offical Rom" E210SKSUKNI3_E210SSKTKNI3_E210SKSUKNI3_HOME.tar.md5" using odin. so again i could switch on my phone, then i found my shv-e210s IMEI has changed to new one.my phone back side imei is another one and its original imei. when i insert SIM it show" no service" and network "Unknown" , when i remove SIM it show " limited service" and i can make emgency call simple, and it show some local network providers names, its mean my phone get signals without SIM card and can make emergency calls. Can anyone suggest a method to solve this . if this imei changed by flash files, so it should able to change back to original by anothe file right?
Hey,
I flashed stock firmware on my S3 with Odin. After that it doesnt read my sim! It has no baseband and no Imei number when checked.
I have always been on official firmware, so i have no backup of my EFS partition.
I have tried to get in to the service menu via the dialer, but it doesnt come up.
What can i do?
There is a method to restore An automatic backups of the EFS folder.
The phone should be able to rebuild it from there.
Just Google for it

IMEI cannot be tampered. It is present on a read-only partition.
To recover imei just flash stock samsung firmware using odin.
Also make factory reset. Good luck.
In many Samsung phones IMEI can't be recovered cause EFS partition is broken or just wiped. If phone has IMEI 00000... maybe You can recover it by flashing stock using Odin but if Your IMEI is 0049... only devices like Z3x or Octoplus and other can recover it.

Altering IMEI is illegal in most countries therefore not allowed to be discussed on XDA
