Because while changing IMEI might be used for genuine reasons, it also allows for shady, not legal ones, and it is not allowed on xda.

Hello, i bought a SGS3 and it's got 0049XX IMEI, the person who sold it to me told me he got this while trying to UNLOCK the phone, now there's no GSM signal, is there a way to recover the original IMEI or at least be able to make phone calls with the 0049XX IMEI.
Also does this mean that the phone is still locked ?? because while unlocking it he lost the IMEI so i assume the unlocking process wasn't succesful, and does this mean that if the phone is still locked it will be impossible to unlock (because i think that the unlocking applications(like those in the market) need the IMEI to unlock no? )

It will be unlocked since corrupting the EFS is a very good way to unlock the phone
Solutions exist for fixing the IMEI but no solution is 100% at the moment, the IMEI is signed in the EFS on the i9300 (and newer Android phones) and the current methods patch the modem to bypass the certificate, which is lame since once you update the firmware the modem patch is lost and your IMEI will return to 0049...
This means that even if i lost the EFS i can still use my phone normaly ? , and do you have a link where i can find how to fix it?

You can in some countries if they have not blacklisted 0049...
None of the current solutions for the i9300 are free, they come with unlocking/flashing boxes such as z3x or spt.

Returned the phone to the person who sold it to me and bought a brand new galaxy s3 today , the phone was a "demo live unit" apparently those demos don't have GSM antennas so even if the IMEI was restored the phone won't read sim cards.
Beware while buying used phones or from eBay !!, if instead of the triangle where we see signal bars you have a crossed circle then the S3 you have dosen't have GSM antenna and can't be repaired.
@spocky
Hi mate, Im also in the same situation: imei unknown. Could it be possible to upload the first image I made with efs pro and give it a glimpse?
I have been struggling with this for 4 days.

I bought a second hand S3 here in Manila.
It is locked to a certain carrier but its already unlocked when i bought it.
But i have a problem with the IMEI and SN.
The serial is 000000...
The IMEI is 3544....
The IMEI on back of the phone and box is 3539.....
The owner said its because of the unlock, thats why the IMEI was changed.
Anyway to fix this?
( Sorry for bad english. I hope you get my point. )

Phone may be stolen is one why .
Two seller may have damaged EFS/ IMEI and its not repairable .
Three you have no Samsung warranty .
Its illegal to change a IMEI in most countries .

Yes but it may result in no network .
Read the faqs and guides .
Reads to me as a stolen phone that someone has hacked or tried to change IMEI to sell the phone and stop paying the contract .
Thats due to IMEI numbers changed as opposed to missing or the generic one after a bad flash .

there are programes to change imel you can use it

In an attempt to rush a reset I deleted the imei and boot through twrp. I finally was able to install the newest ROM but it still shows imei as 0 and it won't connect to the network. I tried to play dumb with heiwai but they weren't biting. So now I'm stuck with it unrooted and not being able to connect to my sim. Any other suggestions? I'm willing to send it for repair.:crying:

Latest Octopus Tool have added support to recover the IMEI of Lg V60 and you can go to repairing shop who have these paid tools. It will cost you around 30-50 USD and I believe you will get back your IMEI.

You can't repair the IMEI through the FTM partition for the AT&T variant.Believe me,I have tried countless hours and it doesn't work!Octopus Box is supposed to have a working method,but I haven't seen any proof as of yet!There is a so called working fix for the T-mobile variant,but never tried it.

Yes,I think Houtoo was having the same issues and he was doing it without the box with Korean firmware.I did find a T-Mobile IMEI repair,but you have to roll it back to A10 and re-write the partitions.I have it saved,but no T-Mobile variant to try it on.I have a USC V60 which is crossflashed with AT&T firmware I guess I could try it on?!?The USC and the T-Mobile version is basically the same phone firmware and hardware wise.

That's a good possibility!I'm in the states,and we currently can't use any custom roms because of the IMS settings from the carriers at the moment.AT&T is the worst!They went through their little 3g sunset b.s. and wiped out a bunch of unlocked,and non-AT&T sold devices so they can't use VoLTE.
