I have a question.
My phone (samsung galaxy s2 gt 9001) has a generic imei, it is completely diffrent than original number imei under battery.
Phone works fine and I can make calls.
I want to flash phone to android 4.0 but I do wonder if phone will return to original imei after flashing (and let me do only emergency calls - original imei is probably blacklisted) or phone will still keep generic imei and allow me to make all calls.
thank you for your help
Did you make an /efs-Backup?
Did this happen after flashing something or...more information please!
You should always back up your EFS folder, which stores your original IMEI. I hope you did, have a look here anyway: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1264021
Chris.
You say your IMEI is probably blacklisted .
Stolen phone ???
A factory reset or flash of new firmware is always the first step to try EFS recovery so yes their is a chance of correct IMEI .

flash clean,stock firmware...an always backup efs folder tht is in good state...
Hello! I was having issues with my SGII since I lost my IMEI and I struggled to recover it You can check my story here.
Now I have mi IMEI but my phone is network locked. I tried to unlock it with Galaxy S Unlock but it didn't work.
Tried with GalaxSIM and after reboot it says is unlocked BUT my IMEI is lost and obviously my phone doesn't recognizes my SIM card.
I'm on Android 4.1.2
Build Number:JZ054K.I9100XWLSE
Kernel:3.0.31-Siyah-s2-v6.0b4
Baseband: I9100XXLS8
If my EFS folder is corrupted shouldn't I lost my IMEI?
Why I lose my IMEI after attempting to network unlock my phone?
Here are some images.
First everything is normal, I have my IMEI and stuff...
Unblock successful!!!
But after reboot, my IMEI is lost
And so my signal...
Thank you!

i reckon you have a corrupt efs file. What i would suggest is for you to revert back to stock firmware,make sure to set the binary counter to 0 and take it to a samsung service station,may be the guys out there might me off some help to you

I don't have warranty anymore.
I'm currently traveling ( in other continent for 3 months ).
I don't have my ticket purchase with me.
To trigger this IMEI problem I have to attempt to unlock the phone... so I need to root, reset the binary counter, and then re-flash the original firm, after that binary counter won't be zero.
i really tierd to try fix it ...i have an i9300 , with android 4.1.2(buyed yesterday ..)the imei of this was something like 97654323456...i try to upgrade android via OTA but wasn't work , in keys is sayd im up to date ..so i enter in sammobile , i download firmware for i9300 android 4.3 and surprize , "not registred on network"i was verify the imei ..356....is not mine,i found the 4.12 version , install and ..356 imei (not registred) , i can't modify the imei because when i enter in *#7284# i have just uart and usb ...no qualcom , HO CAN I FIND THAT QUALCOM? or how to fix it??
Sounds like your efs was already modified/corrupt and failed to update to the newer version that 4.3 requires.
Take it to a repair centre for them to recode the efs, make sure it works on 4.3 firmware before you pay.
There is no other option if you don't have an efs backup.
When you take your phone for repair make sure they have the correct IMEI. The efs file shouldn't be accessible really, read only.
:good:
Ok so i bricekd my phone and use the stock asus backup to restore but after the install and boot i put in my att sim card and it dosent detect it and in the about phone it says that the iemi is unknow and carrier is unknown ??? Help !:crying:
Without a backup of the efs you won't get it back.I would warranty it out with AT&T if possible..
I used my galaxy mega 2 on AT&T's network for about 4 months without any problems until I decide to root it with either Kingoroot or Kingroot and since then i've been network blocked because it changed my IMEI. I want to change it back to what the sticker under the battery says but have had no luck. So far i've tried flashing it using odin and the z3samsung tool. It was 4.4.4 but now it's 5.1.1 KitKat because I can't try to downgrade because the "repair" firmware 4.4.4 always fails. The bad IMEI 350050500009692 i was told that this imei was a default when your imei gets erased by some mobile tool pro via email. I won't publish the good/true imei that's on the sticker. Baseband G750AUCU3B0H4 , Build number LMY47X. G750AUCU3BOH4. Also I get an error when using the z3tool to write NV data, it says "security damaged". Being the bright person I am I didn't back up anything prior to the first attempt but all I need is the IMEI restored everything else seems to work fine. I'm stumped and need help.
Thanks to all or anyone
