Hi, guys..
m having trouble with my milestone everytime that im restoring from a nandriod back up..
the IMEI is resorting to UNKNOWN as well as the BASEBAND version..
i was told that pds can solve this if i was able to back it up as well as restore it..
i tried to flash some flashable radios but it didnt work..
it is somehow similar with samsung efs..
i'd like to know if this is the only cause of my milestone to behave like such..
and would there be any work around with this..
i'd like to solve the problem,,,,

Hi everybody.
I got this weird problem with my cellphone. I have an international I9000. after factory reset my phone doesnt recognize sim anymore. I tried it with other sims too but my efforts were not successful. I tried flashing with other roms but again nothing happened. what am I supposed to do now? have you ever had the same problem?
Hi i have had the same problem when i flashed my phone, if you have a backup you need to copy the EFS folder back onto your phone as it contains your phone info emei modem details, if you do not have a backup then you will need to find the original rom for your phone, do a search for EFS and EMEI on here there is lots of info on this problem. good luck and the best of regards....
thank u very much buddy I have tried flashing with xxjpu but the problem still exists. what do u exactly mean by original rom?
Help me please guys
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
Hi
I have tried to update my i9000 running under Froyo to JB yesterday.
First, i installed GB 2.3.6 as requested, rooted it and then installed a custom rom 4.2.1
Since then, I can't receive any call, Phone app keep on not responding. i can call, I can send SMS or use 3G connection.
I Tried to flash 2 different modem but no luck ...
Any idea how to solve that ?
Thanks a lot
anyone plz I m desperate ...
was icubse
Check your emei - you propably lost it. If you have service imei and don't have /efs backup you need to flash 3-file ROM with pit and re-partition to get it back. Then root, make /efs backup (for example with sgs unlock app) and once again flash JB.
edit:
I didnt get that your mobile data works - so no imei problem.
one more idea - did you make factory format with code from dialer (reset to factory settings and sd-card format) after upgrade from Froyo to GB? If you didn't that could be reason of your problem. Or make factory reset now and check if it helps.
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.
