the easiest way is to restore your efs partition if you have a backup
i had the same issue
i tried everything
non worked for me
fortunately i had a backup
restored it via twrp recovery and it was fixed
Unfortunately i haven't efs backup
So take it to repair centre, make sure it works on 4.3 before you pay.

Which ROMs did you flash? One might have an auto efs backup script?
Your only chance other than that is to talk very nicely to Odia, as he can fix this...
Hi all,
I recently lost my IMEI number (I do not know how, I did not install any weird apps).
The IMEI number says unknown, the network does not work.
Some things to note:
I am not rooted, never have
Using official FW 2.3.3
Never made EFS backup
Have original box (with IMEI number might help?)
Did not install any malcious application
I have read that if I root the device and try the GSII_repair it MIGHT fix, but I don't want to run into more trouble having to result in a BRICK or anything.
Is there any way to restore the EFS thing without having to resort to Samsung?
Solution?
You might need to root your phone.
Since it only needs a new IMEI number you could backup all of your apps and settings and reflash the same firmware and finally restore apps.
This will almost likely require you to root

Good luck and don't give up!:fingers-crossed:

I tried rooting the phone,
I tried the GSII_Repair, no luck.
Any hope?
Without a backup, no. If you've never messed with the phone (not rooted/not run non-stock firmware) & you bought the phone new, your warranty should be good. If so, use it. If not, it's either pay Samsung/authorised repairer to fix it, or ask local mobile repair shops. You may get lucky.
Hi,
I have a backup of my EFS folder which I did it with EFS Pro.
The problem is that on a ROM flash I've lost my IMEI, and now when I try to restore it it's not detecting the root on my phone, while a new version of EFS Pro finds it rooted, but does not see the backup.
I tried copying and overwriting the files manually but that didn't work.
'?
Thinking on not using my backup what alternative I have to make it work and recover back my IMEI?
I don't want to take it to Samsung, because in my country the tech support is a disaster and keeps your phone for a week and they are too expensive without sense (And I doubt their technical skills)
Thanks!
Flash the original stock rom

I tried that and it didn't work :S
The IMEI is still the generic one :S
follow link in my sig to sticky roll-up. Read imei / efs
after update from 4.0 ICS to 4.1.1 By odin my phone imei changed to 4900
I am not able to call
Start flashing different stock roms for your country/carrier (I presume you don't have an EFS backup); if your IMEI doesn't return after flashing a few of those, it won't be coming back. Take it to a local mobile repair shop in that case, many have equipment to re-write the IMEI back to the device fairly cheaply.

Thanks problem Solved after re write IMEI no
I have replaced my S3's broken screen with a new one. The think is now i have "baseband unkown" and "IMEI unknown" and i can't make any calls. I have no network. I have read numerous threads here on xda and elsewhere but nothing seems to work. I haven't backed up the efs folder nor the IMEI. I don't even have the original screen with the IMEI on it. (If i only i knew back then) . I don't even know what version of I9300 i have. I think is the Exynos one. I have installed many Stock roms with different firmware and custom Roms but nothing works. I even tried to flash different modems but still nothing. Is there a way to find my IMEI and restore my baseband? Now i am on lineageos 14.1.
There is only 1 model of the GT-i9300.
If you flashed the latest stock ROM with Odin and the imei does not reappear, it likely that the EFS folder has been corrupted. This can be corrected by flashing the phone via jtag but you will need the original IMEI.

So basically it's a lost cause. I don't have the IMEI. Is there a way to read the IMEI that is hardcoded on the board?

Not that I know of.
Do you have the original box, receipt, or cell contract? The IMEI is sometimes printed on these items.
