Generic imei and new flash

I have a question.
My phone (samsung galaxy s2 gt 9001) has a generic imei, it is completely diffrent than original number imei under battery.
Phone works fine and I can make calls.
I want to flash phone to android 4.0 but I do wonder if phone will return to original imei after flashing (and let me do only emergency calls - original imei is probably blacklisted) or phone will still keep generic imei and allow me to make all calls.
thank you for your help
Did you make an /efs-Backup?
Did this happen after flashing something or...more information please!
You should always back up your EFS folder, which stores your original IMEI. I hope you did, have a look here anyway: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1264021
Chris.
You say your IMEI is probably blacklisted .
Stolen phone ???
A factory reset or flash of new firmware is always the first step to try EFS recovery so yes their is a chance of correct IMEI .
jje
flash clean,stock firmware...an always backup efs folder tht is in good state...

invaild imei (MTK6577) Bug

hello members of xda devs after full reset (deleteing all data)

MTK6577 Chip , Android 4.0.9 (Bedove i5) its my device
Thanks for helpers
I join the thread, I have this on Lenovo A660. How to recover IMEI, I cannot use any network SIM card.
I had this problem too but I had a backup of my imei so I could restore it with mtk uncle tools. Maybe if the imei is written on the back of the phone or somewhere inside of it you could edit an imei backup so you could restore it.
Yes, but how to do it? Of course I have IMEI nr of the phone.
You will not find any help here on this. The only way XDA supports on fixing an IMEI is by restoring a backup that should have been made before doing anything to the device.

How to write my old IMEI code on my phone ?
(I still have the phone box, so I know the old code)
Thanks in advance <3
(i'm french, sorry for my spelling)
Changing or repairing an IMEI code is considered illegal in some countries/regions. But, if you still have a box as you said, you can search online on how to repair the deleted IMEI number. Losing an IMEI is rare and occurs if you've done something to the critical partitions.
Also, could you see any signal on your phone before rooting it with magisk? Or, was it gone right after the main flash?
