Hello guys, i have this really troublesome phone here, that by all means refuses to work. A friend of mine brought this to me and asked me to fix it, apparently the previous owner tried to flash the phone and managed to pretty much delete everything, even the EFS folder.
I managed to fix the bootproblems, install CWM and CM 12.So far the phone is up and running, but now i face the issue with the Imei. I have the original IMEI on the back, but i have no clue how to actually edit it. It's currently stuck on the genereic IMEI which is 0049xxxxxx.
Honestly i tried nearly everything.
Installed stock firmware with odin, didn't work
I tried to edit files, didn't work.
Installed xposed to get a new IMEI, it shows the right IMEI but still doesn't work.
Tried to access CDS information in Engineer mode,doesn't work, since when i type * # * # 3646633 # * # * ,it simpy does nothing
When i try to use the rndis +dm + Modem mode,my PC can't recognize the phone
When i try to use the default Recovery, it doesn't show me the option to enable CP logging, so i won't be able to use dm at all
The phone is a I9300 international, and i would love to throw it out my window atm. I hope there is a genious here that can help.

The dialler codes only work on stock ROMs. Find and flash one if you want to be able to use the dialler codes. THe rndis+dm+modem option i believe is only for Snapdragon-powered devices, or in the case of the i9305, a Qualcomm-powered modem. The only real choice here is Z3X BOX, but if you let me search around, i might be able to find something. And one more thing, the generic IMEI is no problem in itself. One can use a phone in a network with the generic IMEI. I have a friend that bought an LG G3 that is a pre-production unit, not development, not review, but pre-production. Even with the LG sticker in Korean under the battery that certifies it to be a pre-production unit, not for sale. The IMEI is genuine and he uses it to this day.

Sadly it can't even be done with z3x box, since the phone refuses to go DM mode.
@alexander:
The codes also work on other roms like CM, i can confirm that. Sadly everything that has something to do with enabling DM mode doesn't work. See if you can find something. Idk if anyone here actually is able to modify the nv_data.bin file with the proper IMEI, but if someone could, that would be helpful.

Bro I think that you have confused with z3x box because first you have flash stock rom then root your phone then connect it directly don't try to turn it on "download mode" than simply repair your imei in repair section on right side of SAMSUNG TOOL 18.9
And then Set your imei which is written on you phones back , when you remove battery or it is written on your phone box okay :fingers-crossed:
And if you on 4.3 then after setting imei you have to repair your network otherwise you will face "Not registered on network"
Best of luck
And main thing is that z3x don't want Download mode okay so remove this problem from your mind

DM is not downloadmode, it's diagnostic mode, which my perticular S3 apparently doesn't support for some reason. If your phone can't go into DM mode, even the z3x box won't be able to help at all.
The mmi codes dont work outside of stock roms. I think kies can fix the imei issue. There is also a thread on that issue.

Hi all,
I've a bricked Galaxy Vibrant T959 and blocked Recovery/Download Menu. Samsung reject the repairing because is not for the local market.
Now I'm searching a Service Center or someone else in Germany, which has can put the mobile into the DL-Mode via JIG ( Anyway Box) or via JTAG.
I'm still try to call different shops ( Handy Doctor etc.. ) but all which I 've call are working also "only" via the DL&Recovery Mode ...
Does someone help to find an address, where I can send the Mobile for repair?

can your phone still turn on? (i'm wondering if you can still use adb to reboot to download or recovery)

Yes, it can
> I can switch it on till the "S" is coming, after that BLack-screen and the 4 keys are lightning.
> If I connect them into the USB, the green battery come up and the phone spend, if the Battery is full
Unfortunately the Recovery / Download Menu is blocked ( I've bricked them 2 days before the Recovery fix was coming out ( I'm idiot ...)) and so I have not found anything to received the DL Mode.... ( I think I have try all, what I've found) the PC reported an unknown device and deactivate the USB- Port. I haven't also found, which driver I can press manual to this device, that Odin can handle this one ....
Hi well here in Köln there are plenty of Turkish German shops that I'm sure would try to help you out. The problem is they really don't have any tools you couldn't have discovered for yourself on XDA. T-mobile USA I heard are real sticklers when it comes to repairing rooted phones even when the problem is not software related. I guess that goes to show your chances if you would send in your phone.
Still, if no European service center is willing to help you and you have exhausted every possibility of fixing it yourself I suggest calling T-mobile USA and telling them you moved to Germany and now your phone miraculously went blank. You might just want to try your luck with their repair department. Generally speaking, it's not always discovered you basically jacked up your phone yourself!
Alternatively I would suggest calling T-mobile here, they might be sympathetic to your case, although I think it's a long shot. It would really require some lying and creative story telling your part to get them to exchange your phone for a German one. In my experience especially their business support center is given a substantial amount of leeway to help customers with unusual problems and ideas and isn't tied down by the same rules they work with at the customer service for private kunden. E.g. they once helped me getting out of a Dutch contract prematurely, which would not have otherwise been possible.
Good luck!
The only problem here is - T-Mo US and Germany- that I have no contract. I using a Sim from Alice and they a cooperate with O2 .....
I believe the only way is, direct to connect Samsung US.... No Service-Center has a Anyway box If they talk a little bit, they all work with the tools, which are available everywhere .... Sh...t - why Samsung is not willing to repair - also not for money ... Global player - nice joke....
Maybe someone has another idea? I don't want believe, that the phone is now expansive trush ... 5 min in use; the plastic on the screen is still there ....

well, this phone is supposed to be near unbrickable. though i've never experienced this problem, i'm pretty sure it sounds like it's a soft brick on a HW locked phone. i don't know if your phone is already set to usb debugging mode but i guess this is worth a shot if it is:
1. extract AndroidSDK to your c:/
2.get the drivers from this post and install (these are supposed to be the correct samsung drivers and hopefully your pc will see the phone with these)
3. Download these files to some place where you know they'll be (Odin, 512.pit, JFD.tar). Also watch the vid tutorial on how to apply files so you'll get an idea of how this works.
4. after all that is done, try to access command prompt (start btn > run> cmd in windows xp iirc or shift+right click on desktop if you're in vista - not sure if it's the same on windows7).
5. once cmd is open, type in cd c:\android-sdk-windows\tools (that's to get you to where adb is)
6. open up Odin and plug in your phone into the USB.
7. go back into the cmd prompt: the cmd line should now read like this c:\android-sdk-windows\tools>, if it does type in this command: adb reboot download
i've never done this but i think that should get your phone into download mode and get it readable to Odin so that you could manually flash to stock. i should warn you that it's probably going to erase your data on the internal memory and that there's a chance that this can result in a full brick but at least if this is done correctly, your phone should be able to fully boot.
p.s: i've read plenty of times that Odin can be finicky and it may take multiple tries before it sees your phone and highlights the COM port.
BTW: check the Vibrant Bible out, for extra research before you try doing anything to your phone.
I'm hoping that someone more experienced at flashing will chime in on this post.
Thx for the time, to write all the different Steps.
Unfortunately, the PC does not see the Mobile. The PC reported only " Unknown Device and after this one, the Port is closed. So I have also no access via adb to the phone. Odin can not select any COM about the same reason.
In the case, that the Recovery- and Download Menu will working, so adb and Odin will be working. About the Defensive Phone, the Port is not open and so the chance to repair this phone is only via Anyway-box (JIG) to force the DL-Mode over the USB-cable or the more time-expansive method via JTAG.
Hi, so I was trying to follow this guide (I know that it's for I9305, but the procedure should work for I9300), but when I connect my phone to my PC, I get the message "USB device not recognized".
The devices manager lists the phone as "Unknown Device", the device status is "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)" and the hardware Id is "USB\CONFIG_DESCRIPTOR_FAILURE".
I only have this problem when I put the phone in diagnostic mode ("RNDIS + DM + MODEM", "RMNET + DM + MODEM" or "DM + MODEM +ADB"). It works fine if I use the other modes.
I tried with various Samsung USB Driver versions (1.4.6, 1.5.09, 1.5.18 and 1.5.25) and roms (stock, omega and cyanogenmod, currently with stock 4.1.2), all with the same result. I'm using Windows 8 x64.
So, I wan't to use QPST but I can't, so any help would be greatly appreciated. If you need any more info just ask please.

Thanks so much, I didn't realize that my processor wasn't a Qualcomm.
Please, how did you solve this problem? I'm trying for hours and still is unknown device in diag mode! Help!
Unknown device (i9300 with 4.3 original rooted)
I'm in the same situation after I select: rmnet+dm+modem
Install and reinstall several version of usb driver, cable, port etc.. but when I select rmnet+dm+modem or option under my pc doesnt't install driver for it because it sees an unknown device
WHY?!?!?
Why are there no REAL helpful answers to these questions? Everyone is just saying "read this, or see that post..." but no real specific answers for fixes!!! I have been all over Google looking for a solution for this problem! I can get to the USBSettings menu on my 9300 by dialing *#0808#, but when I select RMNET+DM+MODEM, my computer no longer recognizes the device! Installing Samsung drivers did not help...my question is, does anyone know what drivers I need for Windows to recognize the phone?
Thanks!

Hey Jmaher, did you ever get to solve this? Seems getting these RMNET+DM+MODEM Diagnostic usb settings recognized on PC COM Port is one hell of a job! Trying to get Note 3to work with QPST. Kindly respond bro...
I never did! I pretty much gave up. It was a customer's phone I was working on, so I just gave it back and told him we couldn't fix the issue.

thought id through my thoughts and troubles into the bag ...
ive got a troublesome phone, is a I9300 (so the international version) had the s5 sensation rom on it..
went odd, wouldnt run/install any apps etc (errors out with -54 i think it was) then week or so passed (as not got round to fixing it as it stillworked as a phone)
and after it went through a stage of switched it self off...
the batt went flat, and then hung on samsung logo...
after trying to sort it out, reflashing a backup, and then back to original ODIN files etc .. still hung, but would go to download and recovery with many compliants ..
after goose chasing them, got it down to just complaining about the /EFS
so after trying to fix this one, an nowt worked, i formatted /efs ... and yeah ! all boots !
so ive now got a "blank" efs, but a booting phone ! (but no network)
ok so in pretty much 100% of all tutorials in fixing a imei/efs problem it stems on putting phone into "diag or diagnostic" mode
which EFS Pro will do for you, or you can *#0808#
BUT i to get the "unkown" device too ..
and like the posters here all other options of modes work/install, but the programs for imei repair etc need diag mode
and from what ive read (the posts linked on the first couple posts here, and whats actually in those links)
suggest that either to "take it for repair" or talks about imei repair progs in diag mode with CDMA qualcomm devices, and CDMA devices are US devices
so i am lead to believe that as the I9300 being international version, doesnt actually have a "DIAG" mode, only CDMA US versions ? ! ? is THIS what your all hinting at but not saying ???
so thus no drivers work for it, and thus "unkown device"
and the only way is for a appropriate "box" that im thinking emulates, or works like diag mode !?
is there a way to force/flash diag mode for international s3's ?
am i even correct in these assumptions ??!!

thers NOTHING about qualcomm, and what it is and what isnt in phones in any of the quoted links
or anything related to CDMA
but am i presuming right what i said above, that the international version doesnt "have" a " diag" mode due to the type of processor used ?

I couldn't find any diag mode that worked. I had to send my phone to a repair shop that charged me around 20 USD.
Also, QPST (Qualcomm Product Support Tool) works only for phones with a Qualcomm processor.
not qualcomm
Im stuck at RMNET+DM+MODEM "Device not recognized", seems i need the driver for it. what can be done if the device is not a qualcomm CPU?

I have gt-i9505 with Imperium LL Rom v13.0.

volkan.akbulut gave the solution. Follow these steps:
1. Turn off the phone
2. Enter Recovery Mode by holding Vol Up + Home + Power
Release the buttons when you see "Recovery booting" on the left-top corner.3. Use Vol Down button to select Enable cp logging and press Power
Now try to connect. Drivers will be installed.
Good luck.

-diffrent *#....# -things (needed menupoints are not there or the executing the point is not supported.
-flashing again and again roms that promisse to restore the emei
-using programs like write-emei, nv-items-reader-writer, maui-meta etc.... (but the programms can not connect to the phone in right mode)
....write-emei, reads the emei of my laptop gsm-modem and would be able to change it ...but not from my phone
i think the efs folder will not anymore contain the emei....
so has anyone a suggestion for me for a programm, a command-line, a script, etc what will write back my original emei...???
or create the files/folders that andoid needs to work with its emei ?
i really tryed all the common stuff what is suggested in many forums/youtubes...

If you don´t have backup you must find someone with service box. F.E. autorized service and pay

thank you... i start beliving that too... i found a repairshop who is doning that for 30€....so its not too bad...
dont give up yet . try this one too !!!
flash the stock rom (downgrade)
if it still doesnt works
stay on 4.3 JB and try flashing different modems from 4.0 and 4.1.
it helped me atleast.
dont forget to hit thanks if i helped you in any way
at least i gave it to a guy who fixed it for 30 bugs.... he told me you need a hardwarebox for it.
also he told me that there is a certificate that is bound to something and so on ... and finaly fixing it need a board-replacement....
he now put somting like face-certificate on it with my original emei-nr.
if i am doing firmwareupgrade i will loose it again ... so will be happy with the 4.3 jb until i get a new phone with my contract
Greetings smart people,
Baseband version unknown
Imei unknown
What i have done so far:
1. Factory reset(not helping)
2. Have flashed stock rom 6.0 and 7.0 many many times :laugh: (needrom)(not helping)
3. Have gained root access and deleted NVdata folder(not helping)
4. Have formatted NVRAM manually through SPflashtool.(not helping) Waited, cleared cache, dalvik cache waited....nothing
Now this is where this is getting strange.
1. Trying to connect with SPtool to try and fix the nvram(everything connects) when i choose the exact same BPLGU file it says: nvram database file is inconsistent with target load
2. Pulled the exact same BPLGU file that I have in the phone with adb, but it is still inconsistent.
3. Have tried many many database files it is still inconsistent.
So guys what am i missing here? By the way, it did start strange. Phone was charging overnight, when i took it off, i did not have cellular network, restarted phone and.... Baseband version unknown, Imei unknown.
I trust you still have your retail box with IMEI on it. Use MAUI Meta tool to reflash the NVRAM (I was in a similar situation, "INVALID IMEI"). I'm a bit unsure about the baseband and how you managed to get rid of it, but my X1 uses "MOLY.LR9.W1444.MD.LWTG.MP.V110.5.P15". If you have any idea on how I can get you the baseband flashable, let me know, I got MagiskSU and willing to help out.

Yes I have the box with both imei`s. Cannot get it fixed with MAUI meta. Maybe you can get me the whole backup of your phone?
If you have any specific partitions, tell me. I'm going to get it at evening. Glad you still have your passion about the phone! Also willing to enter META mode to dump info.

Sorry for the wait! I was staging your exact situation, so I can get a clear solution path;
I managed to brick my baseband as well, META tool gave me modem exceptions. However, after my research, I found out that if you format all + download your ROM in SP Flash Tool, you can use the META tool again, and baseband becomes recognized again! Make sure you got all the VCOM drivers and such. Hope what I just did can help you bring new life to your phone and dust it off the shelf! Keep in mind, that this *relocks the bootloader*, but it's worth the sacrifice as you can just open the BL again.
Cheers

Sorry for the wait! I was staging your exact situation, so I can get a clear solution path;
I managed to brick my baseband as well, META tool gave me modem exceptions. However, after my research, I found out that if you format all + download your ROM in SP Flash Tool, you can use the META tool again, and baseband becomes recognized again! Make sure you got all the VCOM drivers and such. Hope what I just did can help you bring new life to your phone and dust it off the shelf! Keep in mind, that this *relocks the bootloader*, but it's worth the sacrifice as you can just open the BL again.
Cheers

Can you show me what MAUI Meta reports from Get Version?
Man... I have tried so many different IMEI Repair tools, Phones rooted (Magisk) and I have TWRP.. I backed up QCN with my null IMEI but cannot find the Hex or the "088A" Starting numbers for it to change it back to my original IMEI. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know. I will attach some pics and programs/tools I been using.. I was able to finally get a green light and pass on this one tool after I Extracted the files into platform tools and took ownership of the (tool).exe, however, after rebooting my phone, *#06# still reads "NULL"

yeah grab these files
on your A0.5 firmware an reflash them in fastboot an your imei might be fixed AS THIS METHOD WORKED FOR ME!!
Why are u flashing over persist? Don't do that unless it's your original, some of the partitions on your device are device specific as they contain your IMEI and serial , board number etc... And if they don't match then your radios and other things probably won't work again without reflashing your originals. Anyone feel free to correct me if I lack any info

IMEI is stored on efs and persist partitions..... Integrity checks may even cause ur device to fail to boot, just a warning.....

phone phone shouldn't be dead by flashing. try "holding down both vol buttons an power button" for 1 min til phone vibrates
I've tried it. Won't even vibrate or light up to show its charging.
