I've messed up my device after flashing using qpst. Now my imei is gone, fortunately i can still use my sim and access 3g network. Problem is i cant use 4g. I suspect its because of the missing imei. How do i solve this problem? Another problem of mine is my device can't recognized by my pc hence i can't use adb to fix. I tried using via adb wifi but i can't still figure it out. Someone please help me!
If you had lost IMEI, your phone would not connect to network at all. I think you have other problems....

I think the problem is with your network operator, not with your phone

Dial *#06# to confirm.
it should show you 2 IMEI,
if it shows, then your problem is not with IMEI

This confirms you've lost your IMEI
Do you have backup of EFS partition ? you said in your OP that you tried to flash using qpst, did you ever take backup of your EFS? if yes then I can guide you to restore.
if no backup then it's hard to get it. You can use other phones EFS to restore and change IMEI to yours. since it contains IMEI of others, it's most likely that no one shares it.
PS : Not only 4G you cannot connect to ANY network if you've lost your IMEI.

I still have network signal but its only 3G. I can still receive texts. Unfortunately, i don't have a backup because adb dont work in this phone. It used to work but after getting bootloop, it never show the usb option notification and can't be read in pc. There is a tutorial out there to restore imei and my adb on this device dont work so i can't do anything.

so i had this problem before with my i9300 gs3 i had fixed it by restoring a backup but the issue is that i have no cellular connection at all doesnt matter if i switch roms or restore or install a new one.
I have tried using odin back to stock but i cannot connect to verizon for service (no data/ phone/txt)
if i restore to stock i get data but no cellular connection.
on the stock rom it says my phone is in service but i cant connect to cellular on any other rom like Paranoid android 2.52 it says that my phone is out of service.
Ps. i am not a noob and i have fixed other issues before but i have no idea what the issue even is. I think it might be a kernel issue.
oh and my imei is poping up as 0.
[Update] so i have restored my imei and my eri and i now i get no data calls text and roaming issue
Do you have a backup of your EFS folder? Your IMEI is 0 which means you won't be able to connect to your network, if you have an EFS backup then you can just restore your IMEI and get everything working again....
If not then follow this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1804123 and follow the steps in the post to get your IMEI re-assigned to your phone.
Either way, always backup your EFS folder! The information it contains is very important.

Hi guys,
I've messed up and need help. Here goes...
I had a locked phone on the 3 network , a S3 I9300; and I wanted to unlock it. Simple I thought to myself.....anyways, I downloaded the voodoo unlocker after rooting successfully with Odin. Nothing happened it wouldn't read my T-Mobile sim card and I can't remember what I did exactly but I did press some buttons on that app in attempt to unlock the sim. I then realised that it was not compatible with the S3 and then I proceeded to use the GalaxSim app. I had to download busybox for that, after doing that I attempted to unlock it. Yipeee! Phone unlocked and everything green.....but not. I still couldn't register on any network(using manual method as well). I had even cleaned my SIM card(but not tried another sim card). I then unrooted the phone with stock rom and unrooted again to use GalaxSim......and pressed backup accidentally! That I means I am now with an unlocked efs folder as my default efs, I didn't check the IMEI number to see if it changed, but how I return it all to normal? Has my IMEI number changed or would it not show IMEI if I overwrote the EFS folder?
I need help, I'm confused.
What phone you post I9100 ?????
No or broken EFS then just restore your backed up EFS .
jje
sorry i9300.
No, the EFS I had was overwritten with the newer version when I reinstalled the app. Now I have only one EFS and that's the one currently installed(which says the phone is unlocked). The phone is not registering on any network. Is this a baseband issue or a unlock issue? The app is showing unlocked, it shows all the networks, but some are written as"forbidden networks" and I can't connect to any.
By the looks of it, the simlock will never return.

You cannot update an EFS with a newer version you can only restore your original backed up EFS .
Does the IMEI match that under the battery if not its a service centre repair .
jje
Oh and the platform is jellybean.
The imei is the same, but it is still "sim unlock". How can i redo the process?
your phone should be fine you restore your original imei or just copied your origanal imei again probaly for the best as you know you have a back up of it now
chances are your phones unlocked now and probaly just need to register the sim card with T-mobile to activate it
should always place the back up of your efs somewhere else aswell incase things do go wrong mem cards can corrupt
Both sims that i've used are contract. I can't register any. They all say disconnected on status settings.

I recently rooted my i527 then unlocked it for use on T-Mobile, And it was working just fine, Getting Signal and EDGE, So earlier this morning I took out my sim card and rebooted the phone a few times, Changing the APN from epc.tmobile.com to fast.tmobile.com thinking that was going to get me from going from EDGE to 4G or LTE... Yeah Right! Little did I know, It requires a lot more than just changing the APN.. But thats beside the point.
Anyway, While I was taking my sim out and rebooting, After once or twice of doing this, The phone would not come up with T-Mobile signal AT ALL. After a while of just blankness it would pick up What Im guessing is WCDMA signal or something, But not T-Mobile Active signal like it was doing just fine before. So after 20 or so reboots (thinking that was the problem), And looking around, I noticed that the phone is not issuing a IMEI number. Not in settings, and not *#06# either. The IMEI number has been lost. When I go to settings to view it in About Device it just says "Unknown". I'm assuming this is my problem, Once I get the phones IMEI number back, It will pick up T-Mobile signal again.
At the beginning of this, I was simply trying to get high speed data on the device.. Now I can't even make and receive phone calls. :crying: Any help on how to recover the IMEI would be great, and highly appreciated.
Thanks

If you still have the unlock code try reseting the phone using kies... then see if your imei comes back..
Used ODIN to install correct ROM. This might help.
Get your officla ROM from http://www.sammobile.com/
azpatterson3 said:
SamMobile still doesn't have AT&T sgh-i527 firmware. Use kies to recover your phone or odin with the posted firmware on this forum. Kies would be the safest.

You will need Microsoft .NET Framework v4.0 installed on your computer Use efs professional on your computer found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1308546
make sure you have root and install busybox on phone. run the EFS Professional exe file from the downloaded file from link i posted there will be a pop up window with three options pick the efs professional tab give it time to connect you will need to give permission on phone for adb if all done right it will say ready on program. across top of the program there will be four tabs click the qualcomm tab now there will be more options click on qualcomm nv tools tab let it connect. now there will be a new window for qualcomm nv tools hit the connect button now you will see your imei at bottom if your imei is not there put it in imei box and then click the write tab. hope this helps.
Hi!
I have problem with my lenovo p780 4gb Chinese version (after 04.2014)
I am using vibe ui 2.0 (row version from sympty's thread)
I flashed couple Roms to find my favourite and probably messed up with the nvram.
I was having problems with no signal, nvram error in WiFi ect.
I couldn't restore my imei (done with mobile uncle but after reset the problem apeard again).
Decided to recover nvram.img but as I did not have my own backup I used one uploaded by sympty. (Before restoring nvram made a backup of my own messed up nvram, just in case).
After recovering sumptys nvram the problem with imei and nvram error in wifi disappeard . I noticed that I have symptys imei so I overwritten it with my own using moboleincle.
The problem is that I still get the network problem. No signal at all. Tried many modems also the one that have been adviced to me here (the one created by xaep).
Do You know what can cause this?
I noticed that in mobile uncle radio information the signal is not floating. Once it worked it was floating now it is still and shows 0 db 99 and.
What else could I mess up and how can I fix it?
Thank You guys in advance.

So that means that I did not rewrite imie properly?
Also, I noticed that IMEI on the baterry is diffrent than IMEI on the back of the box. My phone have been in service in China, maybe they've made a mistake?

This is strange. At least one of the IMEI'S from the box must be the same with the IMEI from the accumulator. They could switch the box on the service store, i think?

Yes probably You're right.
Soo does it matter wchich imei I will use? The one on the box or the baterry one?
Also I am still facing the problem with network. Tried many modems. And now i eaven get the problem with sim card (mmi error).
I changed the nvram for the one i got from this forum.
Can't really rewrite imei with sn writer but managed to do it with mobile uncle. (It changes, but after factory reset it goes back to the imei i got when changed nvram).
I don't really know what else could that be. Maybe it is the rom?
I really like this phone, but I am starting to think of getting a new one without network problems.

Hi. It does not matter what IMEI you are running. It doe matter to have one .
With network problem it is the same! If you dont have IMEI you cannot acces any GSM network. You can change all the modems, if you dont have IMEI your phone cannot acces network.
And yesss.... MobileUncle Tool is an temporary solved problem.
I did not encounter this proble myself. I have saw this problem to others.
From what i have read i saw that this problem could be solved with an older firmware like s119, s123, s124. Dont know how but some of the users did write the IMEI for good.
You can change only the motherboard, or change all the phone and this one use it like power bank, nice agenda, or other uses.
Good Luck.

Will try to go back to the older firmware like You said.
Basically if it doesn't matter what imei I have, than it is not the imei problem, because I do have imei after factory reset, only it is probably Yours (because i restored nvram uploaded by You ;D).
In such a case, maybe the firmware will help.
