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

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...

Thanks for your answer. I have already make backup with Toolkit v4.0 and EFS Pro 1.8.
Hello.
I recently modified my s5830i (Samsung Galaxy Ace) with different ROMs. After some modding I did see that i could not call. When i tried to call it came up with the message "Mobile network not available". After some research and stuff i figured out that it was a problem with my IMEI or EMF. I did check my emf folder in my device and saw that it did not contain any content, whole folder was empty. Now my question is; Can I somehow restore it? I have mt IMEI number but not any file for the folder. If anyone can help me I would be very thankful!
Help me plz my phone is (shv-e120s) and i lost my efs.img
my efs PArtition is invalid and my imei is lost / 00000000000000
i need working efs folder included nv_data.bin & nv_data.bin.backup .. etc
and thanks to all
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 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
Oh...I'm sorry I didn't know that, forgive me

Good evening to the entire XDA community . I'm new to this forum, and I need some help if it is possible, apologize if you see something strange but this is the only forum I know where everyone is active, about android, hacking, roms, etc. Here is the question:
How can I change / modify the IMEI of my Nexus 6P Huawei?
I have reviewed several topics here on how to do it, I have done a process to roote this phone because it does not allow it from apk but by flash, so I have rooted it, installed XDA ROM (Flash) and XDA Framework application, also the well known TWRP Which is the recovery mode I am currently using.
I Tryied installing a module called Phone ID changer, but it did not work with several attempts, so I see only hidden the IMEI but does not change it, so my phone is still without mobile network service because of the report.
I decided to investigate a folder called EFS that supposedly contains all the information about the IMEI and where it can be changed, I tried with the Root Explorer application and try to find it but I could not find the EFS folder even with the option to show hidden files. BUT by entering recovery mode with TWRP and entering backup, it allows me to make a backup of that folder (EFS) so the folder is on the phone, but I do not know exactly where.
This is all I have tried so far to change my IMEI reported to be able to use my phone with SIM and signal. Please help, this is the only forum I see active mainly in android, I have searched thousands of videos, tutorials, etc but I have not been able to find something that changes the IMEI to a new one.
Thank you very much to all.
Data:
Phone: Nexus 6P Huawei
Android Ver. : 7.1.2
Recovery Mode: TWRP
Problem: Can't change IMEI
If you need more information, please comment it I will gladly add it.

Questions regarding change in IMEI number of android not allowed on xda. It is illegal and you don't get any help regarding this. So better you don't ask here or find it yourself.
