How can I do this?

my IMEI is strange.
the number is 004999010640000.
what a strange number. it is different from the number at the back of the battery.
IMEI became strange since i unlocked it by following a post regarding how to unlock but i don't have that link though. however, i think i deleted all bunch of nv_data.bin and other files in elf folder from the device so eventually it had been unlocked.
i have backup the files before i deleted but i lost that backup though lol..
but i have nv_data.bak file before i unlocked the phone. would this file help my phone to reture the original IMEI??
help me.. i want to upgrade to official froyo... in order to do that, my registration info has to match with my IMEI number from the phone...
The IMEI number on my S3 is completely gone, i installed a custom ROM and after it booted up i wasnt getting any signal. i didnt a little reasearch and found out the imei number file has been deleted and is wasnt backed up. does anyone know how to recover the IMEI number? I reverted back to the stock rom and unrooted my device but the IMEI thats underneath the battery doesnt match with the one it shows when i dial *#06#, when i dial that the IMEI is 004999010640000/01 and when it was rooted and on a stock rom it showed "null". if anyone knows how to fix this can you please give a detailed walkthrough on what to do.
Hi,
I got this phone from a friend and I don't know the history of it but is unable to detect any SIM card and the Baseband and IMEI appear as Unknown.
Do you have any idea on how to fix it?. Thanks in advance.
i had the same problem on 850FQ i bought few days earlier.
I digged deeper into the Issue and found out when someone wants to unlock their phone it can be done by 2 ways ONE: with an unlock code which people can buy from many online sites TWO: Using some hardware device i dont know its name. The repair guy told me sometimes a phones IMEI is also changed during the unlocking process and if the process is buggy then it may also damage IMEI AND BASEBAND.
Unknown imei/baseband can also be caused by a damaged "modem chip" or it can be caused by corrupt "EFS AND MODEM" folder while flashing custom roms. But since there is no ROOT and No firmwares available for the "A" model i guess your corrupt baseband is either due to "buggy unlocking" or it is a hardware malfunction. People who have the same problem in F or other models can try restoring factory firmwares with odin (from sammobile) but the folks with "A" Model are out of luck. i sold my phone as a demo unit cus i wasn't able to recover its baseband and imei.
Try a factory reset without simcard inserted, see if the imei comes back. if not you may sell it as a demo unit or keep the device for camera and music needs

Problem in two to change imei number (004999010640000) Galaxy sm-g850f LAUNCH 5.02
I have 004999010640000 imei and I want to restore my original imei but it seems I don't have a backup. Any solution for this?
by a accident i deleted my EFS file etc. when i was flashing a custom firmware. Then my phone was working correctly except my GSM.
I searched all the internet and i couldn't find a way to take restore my efs. Than i went to a local telephone technical service in my town and he fixed my phone. But i didn't realise he didint use my original imei. I used the phone a several months then suddenly my phone's gsm didint work. So i controlled my imei and it was "004999010640000". And now i need to change my imei number to my original one. How can i do that? i tried "IMEI MAKER/MP0B_001 file method", "MtkDroidTools" and "MauiMETA 3G" and also some other programs. They worked but specially IMEI parts didnt work.
So i need your help. If its a illegal thing. Just PM me. I didint do anything illegal an i need my phone back.
hi my old friend sorry to hear that some technicians used "bluebox" for restore and attach imei. i dont know any idea :/

IMEI is send over your carrier database, they check all IMEIs over network, your IMEI probably was banned because used IMEI number from someones lost or stolen phone
Hi,
I'm pretty new to this forum, i hope some experts in here and explain to me this problem that i have with my S6 Edge. I bought the phone online for my brother, it worked fine for the first three month then somehow, it got blocked . when i check the phone, the IMEI from the setting menu is totally different number from the back of the phone. I tried to reset the phone, reflash with original firmware but still doesn't work. Can someone explain how this can happened? i checked the IMEI from setting menu, it said the phone is black listed, but the IMEI from the back of the phone is still fine. it's a bit weird.... Thank you
Probably original imei has been blacklisted, old owner has changed it and now this on got blacklisted again
