Hi
TL;DR section
My phone has message Emergency calls only after flashing a stock rom, even with IMEI number correct (I think it's correct, see below for more details), even after restoring /efs. Looking for a possible solution.
/tl;dr
Previously I had problems with IMEI 0049 and Emergency calls only, but a user from other forum corrected this with remote using of SamsungTool (because previously I didn't make efs backup)
After this my phone was working good and I made an efs backup using EFS Professional 2.1.80
Then I wanted to flash twrp (2.8.6.1) recovery (using Odin 3.09) and then flash Archidroid 1.7.18 (with modem update function included in this rom)
In twrp there was a message saying unable to mount /efs, I wiped data,cache etc and tried to flash Archidroid, but it stops with this error:
"Operation not supported on transport endpoint script aborted: set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed Installer Error"
(full log in attachment)
Then i decided to go back to stock (I9300XXUGNG3_I9300XEOGNG1_I9300XXUGNA8_HOME.tar.md5) because previously on stock everything was OK
After flashing this rom with Odin, message Emergency calls only returned...
I asked my friend to use remote repair once again, and again it works - my S3 was able to make calls and Emergency calls only messagedissapeared).
I decided to try to flash Archi 1.7.18 once again, but first - flash I9300XXUGNG3_I9300XEOGNG1_I9300XXUGNA8_HOME.tar.md5 with Odin.
After done this, message Emergency calls only returns, even if I try to restore backup in EFS Pro, the message still appears
Imei no (*#06#) is correct
I tried to format EFS in EFS Pro, but get message "failed:Invalid argument (I was hoping to format, and then restore previously made backup)
Do you have any ideas what is causing Emergency calls only message (with correct IMEI number) and why it returns after flashing anything, even stock rom?
Message dissapears only when my friend remotely use Z3x and phone is working ok as long as I stay on stock rom
EDIT:
I think that it may be still problem with IMEI
Using *#06# it gives me correct IMEI number (same as on sticker), but when I enter service mode using *#197328640# (Version info -> Sw version -> Read IMEI) it displays: IMEI: Not supported
EDIT
Could this solution fix my problems?:

Hello everybody,
I bought recently my thl W8S, and I was experiencing some troubles with the battery charging (taking 10 hours) and my GPS connection.
So I decided to flash it via CWM. But I'm very new in the flashing and all this stuff. I tried a lot of things to get CWM , even thing I didn't know.
The problem of my IMEI came out atfer I installed this :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19319421&postcount=23
The recovery installer apk, I just click on it and when my phone rebooted, I didn't have any access to my SIM management, no more coverage of course.
I tried the *#06# and my 2 IMEI are just marked as "INVALID".
Since yesterday I tried few different operations to get if fixed but nothing is working.
I tried to use the engenering mode (menu CDS, Network information) and send the AT command with the IMEI but I got an error message : AT command is failed to send.
Then I tried to recreate the MP0B_001 file with some tools I downloaded. And I put it in the right folder (/data/nvram/md/NVRAM/NVD_IMEI/MP0B_001) instead of the old file. I reboot my phone, still the same trouble.
I'm kind of desesperate right now.
Any thoughts / ideas?
I can't find the stock rom to try to flash it with Odin ..
Thank you
Hello
I tried to do this but I can't send any AT command , error message is : AT command is failed to send
Any other idea please?
Hi, Did you finally managed to fix the imei issue? I have the exact same problem.
I have the exact same problem. Who successfully solve this problem?
If you didn't back up your efs partition then the only other allowed way is to send it back to the oem.

Hi everyone,
I just flashed my phone for the first time from 4.3 Stock to Cyanogenmod 11 (Snapshot M10) following these steps :
Using ClockWorkMod I backed up all my device.
In recovery mod I did a factory reset
I installed from sdcard the CM11 file
I installed from sdcard the GApps file
Reboot
After 1-2min, before I can do anything (reconfigurate my "new" phone"), I have to log on my phone via SIM's PIN.
Even with the right PIN, I have a "login on the network" screen and can't do anything.
At this point, I though it would be a network (modem ?) issue
I disconnected the SIM and rebooted the phone and here is what I figured out :
IMEI is OK (the same on both Stock and CM11)
Serial Number is broken (different from Stock)
I've searched on the forums but I couldn't find some people with the same problem : generally IMEI and Serial Number are both broken
I have no clue how to restore the serial number only.
Would a EFS restore do the trick ?
For information, I don't know if that's relevant : my device is a Samsung Galaxy SIII i-9300, and I live in France, using Orange as provider.
Thank you for your help
PS : I just restored my phone via the backup I did. All works fine (but I'm back on 4.3 :/ )
There are problems with the recent CM11. Try another CustomRom: AOKP-, Omni-or TW-based.
First flash full stock room with Odin, if serial not recovered then restore your efs backup.
Once it's all working again then start custom flash again.
Hello,
My phone: GSMART Roma R2 (Rooted)
I know there are a lot of threads how to restore IMEI but none of them worked when I dial up *#06#, it shows message with two lines containing "null".
I was using MIUI rom for a while and suddenly after I rebooted phone SIM was no longer recognized (before reboot I was playing with SWAP couldn't make it work so I uninstalled BusyBox (could that cause the issue?))
I already tried:
Engineering Mode: Displays "AT command is failed to send"
Terminal Emulator: Doesn't work
MAUI 3G: Flashing new IMEI changed nothing.
MTK Droid Tool - Changing IMEI did nothing.
SN Writer: Writing new IMEI changed nothing BUT when I choosed to read IMEI it successfully displayed both IMEI in the textbox. (So it looks like the IMEI actually is registered on the phone but phone doesn't seem to use it)
Manually writing MP0B_001 to NVRAM: Nothing changed.
I have used backup in CWM recovery to stock ROM, didn't work, then I did factory reset, didn't work, flashed back the stock recovery and installed update from Gigabyte site, didn't work. So basicly now my phone has stock rom, stock recovery, factory reseted and is rooted.
Thank you very much for any answers because I just fell hopeless about fixing my phone
I fixed it using solution here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2599459
Scroll down to post with NVRAM backup, I used that backup to fix it and then just changed the IMEI numbers to my IMEI numbers.
Hi,
I tried to install TWRP on my MTK Device (Lenovo P780 8GB ROW) and run superuser.zip but after it process it my baseband and IMEI were gone.
Following all the procedures and using different type of tools on different websites including XDA, nothing can actually fix it.
One thing that complicates the problem being solved is the missing dev/radio file contents and the /dev/pttycmd1.
Even going to META MODE by turning of the device seems to be a hassle (just a gray background nothing else.
The WIFI-BT-MAC Address information are still intact and working (good to see it)
These are the tools i used so far.
MTKDroid - detected but not able to restore IMEI due to missing pttycmd1.
-
MIUI - cannot detect phone in META MODE
-
SN Writer - cannot detect phone in META
-
MobileUncle - cannot restore my IMEI backup / said it restore and restart but still the same
-
Manually did the engineering mode AT+ command. Failed.
-
SP Flash - firmware upgrade and download all - not able to restore baseband / IMEI (havent tried to format - as these might delete the MAC-WIFI-BT data as well or worst brick the device.
What is the pttycmd1? How can I restore it? Does baseband need to be restored first prior to changing IMEI? How do I restore baseband without backup?
Before I start with the issue, let me begin with some basic information: This is in regards to my Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-G900T (T-mobile), running Lollipop 5.1.1, FOG6 build, DOB1 baseband, rooted, deodexed, but otherwise stock.
My problem: Today I flashed a rom via Mobile Odin Pro and soft-bricked my device. After a lot of hair pulling and screaming at my phone and computer, I finally got my phone up and running again. After trying many different solutions, I eventually tried re-flashing TWRP through Odin (recovery initially would not boot, hence the soft-brick), which succeeded, and then recovered my phone by restoring from a previous backup.
This got my phone up and running again, but once it boot, I had no service. I first checked my APN settings, but was presented with a message stating, "Unable to view the access point name settings. Access is restricted for the current user profile." I tried adding a new APN, but once I added it, it did not appear in the APN list, which continued to only display the above message. I then tried to "Search now" for Network Operators, but nothing was found. So next I checked my IMEI through "About Device", and discovered it was set to "Unknown". Checking the IMEI through the dialer (*#06#) lists the IMEI as "null / null".
I have searched high and low and tried everything I could find to fix this. I tried restoring my TWRP EFS backup to no effect. I also tried flashing the modem through Odin, as well as restoring my TWRP modem backup. I tried using an Xposed app to manually set the IMEI back to its original value (I happen to have my phone's original IMEI number written down from when I SIM unlocked my device), but while this updated the IMEI displayed in the dialer (through *#06#), it did not change the value in "About Device" and did not restore my service.
The last solution I tried (found here: http://www.technobezz.com/restore-galaxy-null-imei-and-fix-not-registered-on-network/) involves me using the dialer to enter Service Mode to make some changes; however, while dialing *#197328640# did open the Service Mode menu, the menu was totally blank.
Please help! Given the current state of my phone, I cannot make or receive calls or texts or do anything else requiring a mobile connection. I have looked everywhere and I don't know what else to try :crying: :crying:
Assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciated, as until I am able to fix this, I don't have a functional phone
Any suggestions?
