2 months Back: My brother in the name of rooting and making my galaxy tab s3 better he bricked the tab. I wasn't sure which firmware he was on and the ODIN Singapore firmware was not accepting so I used the latest firmware from the UK and restored my tab.
Present: I suddenly wanted to check the IMEI out of the blue. When I checked I couldn't find the IMEI in the phone settings so I installed my phone info app from playstore to see if it is picking up IMEI. To my surprise, I can't find IMEI there too. How to restore original IMEI?
Tab model is SM-T820.
If I were to leave it out just like this would there be any issue?
Would love to hear a solution.

Hello, I'm new to the forum, also new to the world of android. Days reading forum, there's so much that I was all confused and worried about touching the same phone that it would not be brick .
The first few questions, the phone from my brother who purchased Galaxy S3 through advertisements, which btw does not work .
Model I9300
Android version 4:04
Baseband Version I9300XXLE8
Kernel Version 3.0.15-554452
Built Number IMM76D.I9300XXALE8
AP:I9300XXALE8
CP:I9300XXLE8
CSC:I9300PAPALE5
Phone is a retail demo application that I could not uninstall it, so I'm using the Samsung GS3 toolkit 7.0 root the phone first, then uninstall and then do flash stock rom via Odin (I9300XXALE8_I9300NZCALE5_I9300XXLE8_HOME.tar.md5), which I DL with the Samsung GS3 Toolkit 7.0 then I do wipe / data recovery also with a Samsung GS3 toolkit 7.0, and now the phone as new, completely empty. Everything remains the same only the CSC changed, now is I9300NZCALE5, since I did not find the same CSC. Does it matter that CSC is the same or not? I know it Built Number must be the same, did baseband version and CSC must be the same?
With original CSC, could not update via kis, now that it attaches throw new update but different, I could not run, does this update can this phone? (picture attached)
And most importantly the end, can anything be done to get the S3 network coverage?
Pardon my spelling, English is not my language, translation help Google.
Cheers!!!

That I was afraid of that: (. Unfortunately it is impossible, thinking of returning money.
Remains a possibility to be used as navigation, as camera, to go on the internet .... .
Tell me please, is safe to perform the update with kiss, see picture attached above, PDA:LE8 to LLA, PHONE:LE8 to LLA, CSC:LE5 to LL1?
i have Samsung Galaxy s2 gt-i9100(rooted) and suddenly my network signal was missing. and i dialed *#06# and display no imei and unknown baseband . so how to solve that problem?
gt-i9100
android version - 2.3.4
baseband - unknown
kernal version - 2.6.35.7-i9100xxkh3-cl479037 [email protected] #2
No EFS backup ? Try flashing some stock roms. If that doesn't work, service centre or local mobile repair shop; they have equipment to write the IMEI back to the device.
Yes sir i have i have tried to restore but it didnt work
neddinary
Sir give links to flash rom
plz
Samfirmware. No, I'm not going to give you a direct link; did your last slave die of overwork per chance ?
same problem
what firmwere should i download if it dosnt show up any baseband version????
Did anyone gotta solution?? :crying:
Try all the firmwares for your country/carrier (not 4.0.4 though, just in case you flash & forget then do a factory reset. If you've flashed a couple of those & your IMEI hasn't returned, it's fairly safe to say it isn't coming back; take it to a local mobile repair shop, many have the equipment to re-write the IMEI to the device fairly cheaply.
Did you manage to sort this? I was asked to look at a friends S2 which was showing no IMEI number, and I managed to sort it....

Spill the beans then; what did you do to fix it ?

Ah.... this fone was completely stock, still running Gingerbread 2. whatever!!
So.... all using Odin....
I updated-no joy
I rooted-no joy
I flashed newer custom ROM-no joy
Then, I tried flashing Stock 4.1.2, and away it went!!
IMEI number replaced, fone now working, friend well impressed!!
The files are I9100XWLSW_I9100XXMS2_I9100XEULS5_HOME.tar.md5
I'm not sure how to post a link (perhaps someone could show), I got them from YouTube, but have them if anybody needs them.
But if you Google for that, and you're on UK S2 I9100, you should be fine!!
Hope this helps some people, please bear in mind the usual : "I cannot be held responsible for any damage caused...."
Hey guys, just registered to post about a problem I've encountered with my galaxy s3 i9300. I rooted my phone and flashed cyanogen mod 10.2. After this everything looked good but then I realised that my mobile network wasn't working. I searched around the web for a few weeks now and found out that the problem was my imei number. My IMEI number changed to 004999010640000 from the official number under my battery and I couldn't find out how to restore it. Apparently I should have backed up my EFS folder before the rooting process but I didn't know.
Is there any way to restore my current IMEI number back to the official IMEI number without the EFS folder?
I'm new to this sort of stuff and I would really appreciate it if somebody could tell me something about this problem..Thanks in advance!!

ill share my experience with you, but i can't guarantee that it will work for you. I was on a Samsung 4.1.2 ROM. I flashed a Samsung 4.2.2 ROM, which had a modem change option (cant remember which one i selected). The result was my IMEI being change to 004xxxxxxxxx as well. I reflashed the 4.1.2 ROM, my IMEI went back to normal. Then i reflashed the 4.2.2 ROM and selected "do no change modem". My IMEI stayed normal when i reflashed the 4.2.2 so i assume it has something to do with the modem.
You change yours by any change?
Don't know if this will help you, maybe someone with more experience can.

Read this thread: [REF] IMEI / EFS - Know this stuff (i9300) - including "no network"
If you don't have an EFS backup, and you already tried to odin stock 4.3, then you should take it to a phone repair shop.
You already got the correct answer in the last thread you started, don't start duplicates.

Hello XDA community members,
I have a problem with my freind SIII device. :crying:
the problem is that the phone was suffering of a terrible virus, and he want me to fix it. :good:
i decided to ugrade his 4.1 SIII to android 4.3, and reset. All the things was great. -THE VIRUS WAS DELETED- until i decided to make a phone call, the phone was showing a message that the phone is not rigistered on network.
PLEASE HELP ME.
Go to sammobile and download 4.3 firmware for your country device and flash it using odin this should fix your imei problem
Does the Imei still show a valid number (preferably the original imei), if not you need to recover the efs.
If the imei is still there then the phone maybe recorded stolen and blacklisted.
If you have the btu variant i can provide the 4.3 stock rom and all the software.
