That's not going to help you because they're unique - IMEI's are device specific, and it's illegal to change them.
That said, most mobile repair shops have equipment that can re-write an IMEI to a phone fairly cheaply (for example, where I live I can have this done for AU$30 or so).

And as I said in my previous post, someone else's EFS folder(s) isn't going to bring your IMEI back.

Hello all SGS3 users.
I have a strong issue on my branded Samsung I9300. When I browse the /efs folder (with Root Explorer for example), I notice a strange thing.
Two files are changed every hour (the date and the time). Revelant files are : nv_data.bin & nv_data.bin.md5
I know it's important files (including IMEI number and other important information). I have already make backup.
I said that my phone work properly with the right IMEI number, but I'm afraid to turn off my phone not to stop writing files.
Have you ever heard of this ?
Note : I use I9300XXBLG8/I9300OXABLG8 PDA/CSC. I have try to unlock my phone with Voodoo unlocker (thanks supercurio) with previous firmware. When I upgrade my phone to LG8 (and loose my unsimlock), I haven't try to fix Voodoo issue. I have the same network provider as the phone.
Note 2 : I'm sorry for my bad skill in english
just check on mine and it seems to do the same thing
It should come from the new samsung "feature" that make voodoo unlock useless for now
Do not be worry: I have turned my phone off a few times since I flashed LG8 without issue
Thank you for your reply.
If I can restard my phone without issue, it's a good news.
Can you just watch what happens in "nv.log". In my case, no record about it.
same thing: not listed in nv.log
I have upgrade my modem OTA (with the LH1 available today).
It does change this issue.
Others are in this situation ? (I think of guys who don't have try unlock their phones with software hacks)

As you have already stated in your post EFS folder contains important information such as IMEI number, Phone number and other details...the nv_data.bin file changes it size as the time passes... it is a known behaviour and is not a bug..backup your efs partition on to external medium and restore when required...

Hello everyone,
as stated in the title, I've somehow lost my Imei nr on my internat. sgsIII. Now, since I am a bloody newbie I don't have any clue how to fix this problem. It just started a couple weeks ago by itself with the message "not registered in network" and that I could not use the phone anymore, only through wifi. Since then I obviously made a huge mistake by taking it too easy fixing that problem on my own. Before the problem appeared, I've never rooted nor manipulated my phone in any way (I did not knew how or what "root" is), after my problem occured I've rooted my phone several times, "flashed" via Odin 3 my phone with div. firmwares etc. and now I understand that I really messed it up and lost the trail. I don't know where to start or what to look for. My "efs-folder" is now empty and since I am ignorant to this, I never made a backup of the efs-folder.
Acc. to my phone:
Imei is: 0049. . . . . . (developer Imei)
ImeiSV: 01
serial Nr: 4df184. . . . . (which seems strange)
Android Vers: 4.3
Baseband: I9300XXUGNA8
Kernel Ver: 3.0.31-2713958
[email protected]#1
BuildNr: JSS15J,I9300XUGNG3
My phone is now rooted via cf autoroot
Can anyone help me? I hope you people could bring me back to trail, I thank you in advance
(sorry for my english)
Take it to a repair centre, unless you can find an efs backup on your sd card (some custom roms make a copy).
Make sure it works on 4.3 before you pay the repair bill.

I try to avoid that one. . . . I do have somekind of an efs copy from my phone on my PC but I guess it is just a copy of a regenerated efs folder after I flashed my phone with a new firmware. I can't read the contain of that copy it says something like:
(folder) bluetooth
(folder) carrier
(folder) drm
(folder) factoryApp
(folder) imei (contains: mps_code.dat)
(folder) wifi
0000000 authokcont
gyro_cal_data
h2k.dat
nv.log
nv_data.bin
nv_data.bin.md5
wv.keys
thx&greetings

Unfortunately XDA doesn`t allow IMEI modifications talks, we can`t take responsibility to advise you on your matter, IMEI changes are illegal , we have no prove whether the device you`re trying to change the IMEI has been stolen or not.
You better ask for help at a service center which actually can solve this on legal terms .
Thanks for understanding

im trying since few weeks to root or just wright that f***** numbers in my system, i flashed new software and new bootloader but cant register my umidigi f1 play, nothing works i tried nearly every manual/way ive found on the internet. it would be nice if someone spend some hours and do this with teamviewer for me or just create a system image with all my imeis, meid and android seal ... sn write tool always fail, flash twrp or adb debug didnt worked. maybe its the phone or im just not intelligent enough :ß pictures are at my profile ^^
@P41Nkiller
On each Android phone exists the EFS partition where all your important data like the IMEI number, MAC address of all the wireless devices, important files from the internet and product code, MEID, and ESN, registered phone number, etc. are stored.
Flashing a new ROM shouldn't have touched EFS partition.
