Hi,
I've flashed a new rom in my Samsung Galaxy Core Duos (i8262b) but I forgot to do the f*cking IMEI Backup...
Result: My phone is giving that message of "not registered on network"...
What I've tried:
- New roms...
- Old roms...
How can I fix this?

Reflash the modem. If that doesn't work, then reinstall the whole firmware. Is the IMEI still there? Listed as 000049 or unknown?

Already tried this... the IMEI is still there, but now is different of the one under the battery... this is too strange. The number changed exactly after the first flash...

The beggining of the IMEI is 35... I've flashed the full firmware, not just one or two files... the firmwares of this phone are packed in one single file... Found it in samfirmware...
And there is no modem.bin if I extract the tar.md5 file...

Hmm. That doesn't really make any sense. I've never heard / seen the IMEI changing to another actual IMEI number from the result of flashing (and I do this kind of stuff for a living and read here A LOT - untold hours a week). Only null IMEIs or when it changes to 00000049xxx kind of thing. You're certain you installed the correct firmware for your device?

Yes, the firmware is correct.. see: My phone is GT-I8262B... I've tried all firmwares in the list of samfirmware. One of the archives that I've flashed is I8262BVJANB1_I8262BZTOANB1_ZTO.tar.md5 that is the original firmware that comes in the phone...
And your certain that the IMEI was the same BEFORE you flashed? I just can't even fathom how that would be possible. I'm not convinced it is. lol

Man, I double checked the IMEI before the flash (because I like to have all my IMEI's in a file, just in case of a robbery I need to put it on the blacklist)... I'm sure the IMEI of the phone before the flash was the same of the one under the battery. The thing is tha I've too never ever see anything like this! It's too (TOO) strange for me too...
Well, if that did happen, then I'm pretty certain there is nothing that you could do yourself to fix. At this point, I believe you would need the help of a service center that has the equipment to actually change the IMEI. All the fixes you will find here is for if the IMEI is wiped or changed to the 0049xxxx one. The tools to fix this kind of thing probably cost as much as your phone would if not more and it's not something for the average shop has or knows how to do, at least that's how it is in most places I have seen (I'd love to have one of these for my shop, but it happens rarely, so not enough $$$ in it at the moment to make it worthwhile). Maybe it's different for your location.

Well If you think that an iPhone here starts at 2.800 Reais, wich is almost 1.300 dollars... and with this world cup the things are becoming more and more expensive here... if you are coming to the cup know this: you will be robbed... it's not a possibility: it's a fact...
So, I will send this thing to the servisse center and see how much will they drain of my wallet...
Thanks for everything, guy! You was very nice!!!
$1300? That's robbery itself right there... lol The equipment needed to do stuff like this is usually anywhere from 300-500 USD typically between the box and software or server connection access.

I am facing same problem
It's been a while my S3 has been dead now, virtually rendering it into a WiFi tablet. Let me give a backstory.i had originally bought the phone and it was running 4.0.4, rooted. I wanted to go onto a different software so I came across Cyanogenmod. I flashed it with the automatic tool on pc. It had been quite some time I was running it, until I decided that I wanted to go back to stock. I was a complete noob back then, and where I may now a lot more stuff about phones now, there is still alot to learn. Anyway, I decided to flash a rom called "Back to noot", using twrp. The flash had gone successfully however I booted up to find that I had the infamous circle with the line through it, where the signal should be. I did some more digging and had concluded that my efs had been corrupted. As I was a complete noob, I didn't know what the efs partition was and I hadn't made a backup of it. So I was without a phone basically. Recently though I flashed the latest stock 4.3 rom onto it. My IMEI and baseband are back. However my IMEI isn't correct, the last couple of digits are incorrect, resulting in me having to face the "not registered on network". This is where I am now. I'm without my correct IMEI. Can anyone please help me restore my original IMEI? I have seen on some forums where some people have flashed down to 4.0.4 to successfully recover their phone. However sammobile now requires a premium account to download a 4.0.4 rom for the i9300, weirdly. Can anyone help me to restore the IMEI? Thanks.
You can download firmware for the i9300 on fw.updato.com . Search for the i9300 and filter by version to find the one you want. I am not sure if it is possible to restore your imei without an efs backup though. Good luck
Are you referring to the digits after the "/"?
I've never heard that dowgrading the stock ROM would change the imei.

The entire IMEI is correct until I reach a certain point.
After the 3rd dash on the back of the phone, the digits follow "182/9". However when dialing *#06# on the phone itself the digits "4344/15". This is what I feel is causing the "not registered on network" error. I never knew downgrading can restore the phone. Ive seen on a forum that someone had recovered their phone by rolling from a higher firmware down to 4.0.4

Was the phone purchased brand new, used, or refurbished?
If the phone is running a stock 4.3 ROM, you can't flash an older ROM as the phone will not allow flashing an older bootloader.

It's very unusual that the imei would change on its own. It would be even more unusual for the imei to change when flashing one stock ROM over another. I suppose it is possible but I have never come across a situation where such a thing has happened.
Since the imei on the label does not match the imei in the phone and it was a used purchase, I tend to believe the phone is a "frankenphone" in that it was put together with parts from different phones.
Did you check to see if the imei from dialling *#06# belongs to an s3?

Not if he flashed a firmware or rom based earlier than 4.3 and the phone has been 4.3. Efs changed at 4.3 and going backwards kills the efs partition because 4.2 or earlier can't read the new encryption.
There is a possibility that flashing earlier firmwares can write the imei back in, I've read something about this before. If all else fails then why not try it.. Its borked anyway.
Kies emergency recovery is another method but won't work if the phone was rooted.
I think have an efs of a now dead phone. It was a btu i9300 https://drive.google.com/file/d/1MiFFyCCeh1PFuQVZa-M4woreaofcDmrb/view?usp=drivesdk

How you use it, no clue. I've never had to. It's from a phone that was eventually killed in an accident.
The files are as they were extracted. I zipped them up myself. It is not in anyway suitable to be flashed as is but if you can get the os working and root it you can copy the files to the correct folder, set the permissions and see what happens..
I thought seeing as I have no use for it someone else can, if they can.

The phone was successfully recovered by flashing the XXUGMK6 ROM, then flashing the Patched UGMK6 Kernal and Baseband that zuluman had given. However the phone only accepted one SIM card from a couple that I had tried, and the phone thought I was in a roaming state, meaning I couldn't use mobile data. Other than that the text message and phone calling functionality, which was the main focus of the repair, has been successful.

Hi everyone, I've followed the WTF thread to unlock the bootloader on a V30 H933 (the Canadian version), but even after unlocking there's no fastboot support on the phone, only the US998 version seems to have it. Trouble is that Rogers, my local operator, only supports VoLTE and VoWiFi on their recognized devices - I tried having US998 running on my phone, calling their support and possibly getting some actual configuration I could put on the phone, but their response was "your phone is defective and needs to be replaced".
All that said, my goal here is to somehow install TWRP on this phone and root under the original ROM, so I can have the features I need from the network. So far, I've been pretty unsuccessful in this, so my plead would be: could anyone chime in to help me either
flash the minimal necessary over US998 to get H933 functionality/network information back as to reenable VoLTE and VoWiFi on my operator
come up with an update.zip or some other file I could use to flash a Magisk-patched boot.img
pack a full flashable ZIP image of the Canadian ROM (my last attempt at this left the phone in bootloop)
an alternative idea I haven't thought about that could help?
Ideally, at the end of the process, I'd like to have TWRP and Magisk installed on the phone, but I could settle for simply Magisk.
Once again, any help or pointers are more than welcome and appreciated.
I think you can extract a h933 kdz and flash individual partitions that do not have to do with recovery or the bootloader. You can probably use the dd command for it. I think the partitions you dont flash are anything with boot in it, abl and recovery. There may be a few more however.

I tried something similar, extracted a KDZ and put the necessary BIN files on a flashable ZIP I found around. All I achieved was bootlooping the device...
I have an H933 on Freedom Mobile, and running the stock FM firmware. The loss of VOWIFI (and VoLTE) are exactly what i thought would happen if I proceed with flashing to US998.
I think #1 is right; that you may be able to restore access to network specific functionality but it would depend on being able to isolate the specific required "patch".
With this in mind, take a look at this post from the WTF! Thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=76613814
That user flashed some files (modem binaries from the original device firmware I think) and was able to restore VOWIFI and VoLTE functionality on the Verizon network.

What menu is that from @cre4per? Have you had the opportunity to confirm staying on LTE while receiving a call?
That would be good news to hear VoLTE working on a Canadian network using a generic phone model (instead of proprietary stuff).

Looking at this this morning. I don't think that is an indication that you are connected to a VoLTE service; just that your device is ready to accept it if the right service becomes available. I have that switch turned on and the service menu even says the voice network is LTE too (see image below) but Freedom Mobile doesn't even offer VoLTE service so it isn't possible that I actually have VoLTE operational.
I would interpret the LTE provision switch as turning on or off the functionality in your device, not a connection authorization from the network. Sort of like turning on the HD calling option on your device; it allows the possibility but won't do anything unless the service provider has the capability and authorizes it on your connection.
If someone has VoLTE working, could you check the menu cited by @cre4per, then hit the options (3 dots) and in there, select IMS service status? It lools like this is where you *should* see if the network has connected you to their VoLTE service (see image below).
I don't know how to interpret the, "Voice Network: LTE" on the main menu screen.
Just check and switches to 3g on calls also when going into that ims menu says unavailable

As @Mad Medik mentioned, so far I don't know of any Canadian operators enabling VoLTE (or VoWiFi for that matter) to generic phones. I have a Rogers P10 Plus that's registered under my account as my main phone and which I reflashed to have these features available, but it just won't work. I've had extended arguments with Rogers representatives about it, and the 1+3T I'm presently using even have the same config your phone is showing: VoLTE Provisioned, but IMS shows as Not Registered so nothing else works. I'm waiting on an LS998 I bought to arrive, I'll try flashing H933 on it to see if it actually allows me to register on IMS.

KDZ was for Oreo, indeed. It was the one I used to bring the phone to the latest (at the moment) update available.
As for which partitions I flashed, I was gonna give you a list, but to make it short the only partition not flashed was recovery.

As far as I know there are some boot partitions that should not be flashed, which may have caused the soft brick. I know autoprime used to make these zips for the G3 and runningnak3d made one for the V10, you might want to cross reference the partitions they used and what they didnt. Probably the V10 first because the G3 is relatively ancient. I think in essence you should just be able to flash boot, system and modem and rpm though, but you would need 2 combine the split up system images after the extract.

The reason why I was flashing everything is because I used this thread to recover from a previous soft brick I stumbled upon. Upon speaking to the thread creator, he mentioned I should be able to follow a similar process to achieve an H933 flashable file. Did that and, well, managed to soft brick the phone... I might try your idea, though.
So, from my knowledge of attempting to get VoLTE working on an HTC 10, I suspect you won't get VoLTE working on anything other than Rogers H933 firmware. For whatever reason, the programming required for VoLTE isn't on the USIM card in your phone, but rather programmed into the phone by the provider. This means, unless your phone model is sold and supported for VoLTE on the provider you wish to use it on, you're screwed like I was, trying to get VoLTE working on my HTC 10 on Rogers.
This being said, the good news is we are back to CDMA tech here, where the only thing preventing you from using your third party phone with your provider is knowing what code to enter, and what parameters to program in. Since my H933 is on Telus, my programming won't do you much good.
What you're looking for is the IMS settings or IP Multimedia Subsystem settings, as this is what carries the VoIP packets that consist of VoLTE. If someone were to post the settings from their Rogers H933, you may be able to get VoLTE working on US998 firmware.
Why not just flash system and boot? After unlocked and rooted of course.. Lg up partition DL will let you flash individual partitions. I would have done it that way for my carrier but there is no kdz available..

We can downgrade with ChipErase (and restore IMEI), we can modify PDM, we can dump the entire phone (will do tomorrow), can upgrade.

Holy cow I can’t believe it. You actually found the exact tool that we needed! I went ahead and did a chip erase on my demo model, which had previously been flashed with the Korean firmware from the previous tutorial, and flashed the T-Mobile Firmware. IT WORKED! To get rid of the error at that shows up every time you reboot it, I accessed the hidden menu and changed the TN number to the one associated with TMO_US, as shown in this post.
Thank you!

I get calls and text, no cell service at all. I had to manually program in an IMEI. My IMEI comes back as 0 if I just flash it without PDM. IMEI doesn't apply via the service menu either

Interesting. I was able to generate an IMEI in the hidden menu after the chip erase and it worked fine. I did also have to re-add my CSN, because that was also removed, and then my phone did an unprompted factory reset and rebooted.
By the way, when you flashed it, did you use Refurbish? Because with my demo unit, it refused to let me do that and would only allow chip erase. I was reluctant, but it turned out fine. And, the only important thing I was unable to reprogram afterwords was the S/N, but it doesn’t really matter to me. (Too bad the fingerprint scanner still doesn’t work though. That’s the only thing left that still isn’t working after all of this.)

I plan on testing every function to document what happens, so far I've done Refurbish, Partition DL, Dump, PDM and ChipErase. only Dump didn't work
Nice work fellas!!! Exciting to see some movement towards being able to root/development.

I think its the same dial code. I don't have the device in front of me at the moment to say
I tried this earlier...

I have yet to have network work on my demo device regardless of what firmware is on it because my Serial Number and IMEI always come back at 0 and even if I manually enter new ones, it doesn't acivate, although i was able to get to the menu just fine with the standard code in that post.
Interesting, I wonder if there's something different in your firmware or kdz...
looking at the software version. mine is on
F100VM10i
maybe they (Verizon) patched out the hidden menu. your KDZ is labeled
F100VM10d
???

think that represents the SW iteration identifier between updates... bit of a guess, but i believe that character has changed with updates.
I tried to crossflash my G8X to the US Open A11 software and screwed up quite badly during the process. I've had to restore my phone from having no partitions and do not have the original LUN5 files, only the 7 required for the crossflash. I've also rooted and installed twrp on this device so if anything that could help needs that I'm able to use it.
I expected the fingerprint sensor not to work, however now the light sensor, accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer, etc. don't work either.
Is there something I can do to get this functionality back? I've mostly given up on fixing the imei and network issues but I would like to at least have the phone in a usable state on Wifi.
If more details are needed please do tell and I will do my best to provide them.

What original firmware was on it?Most definitely,always make a full back up first thing.

It was originally on version 20p of the sprint software. And yeah, I definitely hadn't quite read up on all of the important things I needed to backup beforehand.

The same thing happened to me, I came from a10 sprint and installed a11 from Canada, I was left without a network and without a fingerprint sensor, but the other sensors work without problem, to fix network and ntcode I think it is only possible by box, I don't know if of the fingerprint sensor is caused by the lack of serial and imei.
if you come up with a solution let me know bro

I have the backup of the 7 partitions but they are useless if all the original partitions have been deleted, that is what I understand, I restored the partitions of a KDZ a10 and then flashed it to a11

I've got version 30c of that firmware installed, you think going back one update would fix it?

When you flashed the A10 kdz, you followed netmsm's guide right? Did you get any errors when flashing the partitions with fhloader? When I extracted the kdz a few files were missing from the ones used by that code but every kdz I've extracted doesn't have them either.

Yes,go to 30b it will all work.I tried 30c on my sprint model,and had issues with network connectivity as well.

yes, the netmsm's guide, fhloader only use it to restore the luns, restore the kdz partitions one by one with qfil, just try what Surgemanxx suggested first and tell me how it goes.

It works very well.I tried 30c,and noticed it was slow and laggy and rolled back to 30b and it worked flawless.Fingerprint scanning and all worked with a T-Mobile sim with no issues.They should be good with 30b,all but the IMEI issue they have.
All right I completely erased the flash again and reinstalled following the steps very carefully. I'm now on 30b and can confirm that the sensors work once again. Although the major issues I think were deeper than just the update, because I updated before doing a full erase and it still wasn't working. Now I just have to keep trying to fix the IMEI and FP sensor.
Also I think I may have found my IMEI number thanks to having the ftm partition backed up and therefore still having the serial number. The first 8 digits are always 35886110 for the LG G8x sprint model (and maybe others in the US), the next 6 are the last 6 digits of the serial and the last one is a check digit that you can look up online. I've checked the number on multiple sites and it seems legit so I hope it's actually my number. Now I'll try to write it to the phone somehow, but at least having the IMEI back is a very big step forward.
IMEI is fixed, or at least it appears as such in the phone. I went through with the tutty method of installing the IMEI, and after much trouble (and tutty saying error to my command to write the IMEI) I was able to restore the IMEI to the phone. I confirmed this first using EFS Pro and going into qualcomm NV tools. The IMEI was still as 0 in my phone but after putting in a sim it appeared in the OS and has stayed there. However it still appears as permanently locked when a sim is inserted and the nt-code error does still happen, so the network doesn't work yet.

That LUNS backup is for the Sprint U.S. model G850UM9.The IMEI is stored in modemst1 and 2 which is LUNS5 that I didn't include for that reason.The NT Code error shouldn't be there if it's the same model/region.Keep me posted.

I've flashed your backups and the NT Code error indeed disappeared. However I've still got the perm locked error (so my doesn't work), and the fp sensor still refuses record fingerprints. Was your phone network unlocked when you made that backup? Idk if that maybe interferes with the sim or something

Yes,it was network unlocked for sure.You're not the only one that has faced this after trying to repair the IMEI.It's perma blocked because it's embedded in the chipset itself,and so far I haven't seen any fix for it as of yet.
