Hi everybody,
i flashed a new ROM via Odin (my first flash), but at this time i forgot to backup my efs folder. Now i see i have a new Product code, but the IMEI is the same. Is there anything else that Odin had changed in the efs folder?
Its because of the warranty, i want to change it to the original, but i dont know what Odin changed exactly.
I hope u guys can help me.
Thanks in advanced and nice weekend.

back up your efs folder now. csc can be flashed through Odin,

Don't worry about it, my phone has had all sorts of csc's on it and has never caused me any problems, providing your imei number hasn't changed things should be cool

So i reflashed my rom with odin but i forgot to take out the sim now the phone says no signal even when the sim is not inserted. I have tried to flash again with no luck.
Originally i was on jm5 i re flashed to JM2 (this time with repartition) but no i have no signal. Have i broken the phone?
anyone pls!
I had the same problem.
The youtube videos all tell you to only input the PDA file. After flashing only this, everytime I started up I wouldn't get a signal. I thought I had an expensive paperweight on my 1st day.
However, try flash ALL the files at the same time. CODE_XXX goes into PDA, then MODEM_XXX into PHONE, and CSC_XXX into CSC. Make sure they are all ticked, select re-partition, and set it going.
Be warned that some of the later firmwares are Russian, but once your SIM is in and recognised it should automatically change the language to English.
This fixed my problems, haven't been scared to flash since
If this doesn't work, you can always just flash the old PDA of JM5 back. That originally fixed the problem for me, before I had the guts to try it all over again.
It worked1 i love you.
I'm sorry to reactivate this topic, but i have the same issue as well. I tried flashing a stock rom on my SGS but after it was completed, i couldn't get ony my network (Orange). I tried also flashing Darky's 8.0 and still nothing. Even with Hy2teria's suggestion. I don't know what else to do.
Please help me!
Regards
LE: After removing BOTH the SIM card and the SD card, the phone connected to my network succesfully. FYI

thanks friend i flashed much rom stock and hard reset not solved
make sure via secret code *#06# if there´s an imei still showing, if so make sure it is the correct/original one. If the imei is not showing or it is a different one, you got a real big problem. I know of no solution in this case other than sending it in.
Hopefully you backed up the efs folder prior to flashing. If so, find nv_data.bin and drop it into the /efs folder found in the root directory of the internal sd card.
If you hadn´t backed up the efs do this: delete (!) the nv_data.bin and nv_data.bin.md5 in the /efs folder. In the same folder there should be 2 files with the same name and a .bak at the end. These are back ups, too, which will be restored after a reboot. If you are lucky the .bak-files aren´t corrupt yet and will restore the correct nv_data.bin.
Hope it works for you

^ top man ! muchos thankings
Just restart your phone, that worked for me
Like the Title says, today I've flashed Team Nix [rc5] and the phone boot without signal, and never come back, I've tried flashing AOKP build 35 (previous one), and the problem persists.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S i9000T.
Please HELP!..
Thanks
Could your problem be similar as for the i9000m?
To use any i9000 ics rom, I have to use a cm7-kg3 modem and not the one that comes with a particular custom rom.
Perhaps for the i9000t, it's the same situation?
Check the modem. Post what version you have.

Do u ve ur imei or is it changed ??? Dial *#06# in dialer and do check... if its the developer imei then u need to flash back gingerbread to get ur imei bavk...
If u ve a backup of ur efs folder even that does the job...
Hi All, thanks for the replies.
I've found the problem, but not the solution. I have a generic IMEI on my phone that doesn't match with the one in the phone sticker.
I don't have a backup of the efs folder. I've tried several Guides, including
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1264021&page=2
and the IMEI is not changing.
Is there any other way to solve this problem?

ICSSGS roms used to copy EFS folder to the internal SD card might be worth having a look there
If EFS folder is not in the SD card Flashing back to Gingerbread ROM may recover your IMEI if you have not already killed it by trying the fix in the link that you posted.
SOmetimes, EFS is backed up automatically (sometimes!).. Anyhow, one method that worked for many people is by reverting back to GB using Odin.. Hope that helps you. And as mentioned in a previous post, try to look for an EFS folder in your SD Card. Perhaps, that could help you restore your IMEI. Good luck! ^.~
Thanks, That was the case, I had a backup in the sd at Trash1000/files..
Thanks!!!.. The phone is back!
Hi there,
I have a galaxy S I9000. The IMEI i have on my phone when i press *#06# is 004999010640000.
I have NO backup of the EFS folder. Sure.
However, I know the IMEI has it is written on the back on the phone.
How can i restore that?
i have to say that i tried downgrading using ODIN... phone is ok in download mode... I did a lot of research but no luck so far.
Thanks
Hello to recover your IMEI you have to flash a stock 2.3.6 ROM and then backup your EFS folder.
After installing new version, if the problem is persist then restor simply your EFS folder.
Hi Higgins91
Thanks for your answer. With all due respect, I dont think it is a correct solution as I tried it and it did not work.
However, maybe before reinstalling the Stock 2.3.6 i should have tottaly delete the EFS folder (the one with the wrong IMEI). Then the Stock "could" recreate the EFS with the correct IMEI on the phone... (thats only what I did read in another forum - But I have not tested).
Luckily I found my previous EFS backed up. (I thought i never did it, but i did 2 years ago ehheh).
Subject closed, even if there is no real bullet proff solution for that.
Thanks
theres athread in here somewhere about that sorry cant remember where read it about a year ago and if it wasnt here it was on darkyrom Q&A maybe
Hello, I lost IMEI data from my i9305 :\
Trying to fix it whole day, but I give up now, im done.
I tried several guides (sammobile.com/forum/showthread.php?t=15196) but nothing helps.
Basicly biggest problem I face is that when I dial to *#7284# it shows "Network is not avilable" so nothing happens, or with another method with removing EFS folder, after backuping it at SDcard1 I have no .nv_data file to modify it and fix everything.
I use SentinelROM v6.0, I tried installing some modified modems, but it was retarded from me. I installed one from orginal firmware today meanwhile I was trying to fix IMEI :\
Can anyone help me?
@edit
I dont have backup. Imei and baseband - unknown ;(
I also would like to add that I know my imei (have it written down :3), but can I somehow rebuild efs based on it :3?
I feel so lucky, I flashed orginal firmware through odin and everything is fine now I just need to upload 4.4 again, and make backup for future!
That was my lesson :3 Thread can be closed.
Hi guys,
A friend of mine made her Galaxy Note "fly" on a wall (being a bit bored obviously... )
After that the phone had no network.
Checking it, I found the plane mode was ON and unable to turn OFF, and the IMEI was null/null typing *#06#
I tried then to flash via Odin the only firmware I found at the moment, which was a 1 part 4.1.2 XEF (found and got on Sammobile), which made a real update though the phone was still on 2.3.6
The flash got OK, I could turn the plane mode OFF, but still no IMEI
Tried to flash the 16 Gb pit > all the same.
I eventually found a 3 parts 2.3.6 firmware, and as we "saved" some SGS with the 3 parts JVU, rebuilding EFS rep like magic, I tried.
The flash was OK, but still no IMEI.
Guess what, no EFS save to restore.
If someone has any idea, though I definetly think it's over and needs to be sent to repair...
Thanks by advance
One more detail : sneaking the efs folder with ES Explorer, I discovered that the nv_data files are missing!
My feeling right now?
"Houston? We have a problem! "

I have the same problem I have my IMEI number at the back of the Phone but no way to write it to my Note2 I wish someone can please help us.
As far as I know, we don't have simple ways to rewrite an imei.

Did you try this one?
I did personally not, though the nv_data files did not exist anymore in the efs folder.
