Do you have backup of /efs?
if not, does your /efs folder has .nv_data.bak file?
what is the date of the file?

Restore your nv_data.bin from backup with root explorer or through adb
and delete your nv_data.bin.md5 file
Same Thing happened to me today but I have a valid imei number
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
its still not working.. i tried all the things that you suggested... im really worried
my imei is still blank... im regreting the day i updated to JPC
Have you restored your nv_data.bin from backup and deleted nv_data.bin.md5?
yes i did, do i really need to downgrade this to JM8? or can i do this still while in JPC or JPK?
And after reboot still got no IMEI?
Thread moved to Q&A.
Yes... its not working even after reboot
maybe it's permission or ownership issue of nv_data.bin?
sounds like another IMEI issue caused by the Froyo JPH
I have been trying to get the clockworkmod on my galaxy tab so I can flash the EXT4 kernel and the overcome ROM but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to do the clockworkmod. I've tried searching everywhere for instructions, this site, google, youtube, and I've had no success in understanding how to do it for my tab, let alone finding where to download the clockworkmod file that I need. I have dialed *#1234# and *#7465625# to get the info of my tab, when I dial the one number it says for everything is off and when I dial the other number I get this info, PDA1000JPJJ1 Phone1000JXJJ1 CSC1000OJPJJ1. I have no carrier that I'm using just running it off of wifi, but if I ever decide to buy a data plan it will probably be with at&t. A friend of mine bought me the tab from afghanistan he told me it was unlocked. I know I have a slot for a SIM card. Just trying to give as much info about the tab as I can cause if what I'm reading is correct you have to install a certain clockworkmod depending on your tab. like I said I just am not understanding how to do this or where to get the files I need. I have rooted the tab and I have the ROM manager and ASTRO file manager apps downloaded and I've tried just tapping on the Flash ClockworkMod Recovery in ROM manager then tapping on Reboot into Recovery and when that happens it pops up in the reboot screen but the text is still green and I believe what it said was it was installing files for clockworkmod recovery but would never finish so I'm assuming I did that wrong. Could some one please help me with this I'm going crazy trying to figure out how to do it? that are too many different post about how to do it and one person saying do it this way while the other says do it this way and I'm not grasping how to do it properly without messing up my tab, it already keeps freezing up on me from time to time and i have to hold the power button in and restart it. Please any help I'd appreciate, Thank You.
Just follow the guide in the overcome thread. Its a pdf file you download and print, with very careful instructions.
I did things in a different order. I flashed the overcome kernal, which did the ext4 reformat, and it installed CWM.
Just in case you havnt found the thread, it's here --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=932082
I suggest you print the pdf file and follow it STEP BY STEP.. mark each step you've done if necessary..
Goodluck!
im a huge noob as far as this tab...i got a SGT-P1000 (3G/wifi version,euro i think..unlocked and bought from amazon)...anyways i want it back to stock!...i have odin3 1.7...and i got the FW JJ4 from samfirmware for euro..i didnt know what PIT file to get so i just got GT-P1000_M.PIT...the PDA file that i got was

You still can boot up your tab? Need the firmware information from *#1234#. If you are still on froyo then bootloaders should be unsigned.....
Better check overcome.mimzo.com/?page_id=64 section "Preppin’ The System…".
It is a wonderful guide for problem free flashing; for ANY version.
K.
ps: unable to paste "external links" due to small number of posts, copy/paste link above.
still now luck but was able to get to recovery mode...
the tab only would load the GT/samsung screen then freeze...i tried a few different firmwares but no luck...i tried this site...
how-to-flash-latest-gingerbread-2-3-3-firmware-to-samsung-galaxy-tab-p1000/?amp....and odin seem to work...but still didnt load..got to recovery and wiped cache and data and rebooted..still nothing..but i also noticed that the wipe was failing....hope the pic can show whats up...now im at a stand still....
dkills082 did u get this sorted as i am experiencing this issue for 48 hours now. i am sick as a dog trying different firmwares and still wont properly boot. still stick on Galaxy GT samsung screen..
I had problem similar to that, I took it back to stock froyo rom, the version originally there, and then proceeded to flash up to gingerbread again. It seems to have worked as I'm on Overcome - Hermes now with no problems.
I might suggest that you try to flash a kernal that supports ext 4 as you might of formatted to that... The overcome 1.64 seem to work but you will still have to flash the Froyo bootloaders....
still stuck...
still stuck but still can get it to recov...i tried other firmwares..but no luck...im lost...wondering if jtag would save it...the problem is that i dont know what original FW was on this tab...i got some new errors idk what to think of them...
pics of the errors
pics of the errors i get in recovery

I had a more complicated version of this. couldn't format, couldn't mount, nothing. My tab showed this, I tried flashing several different kernels/roms/cwm, everything, nothing. Actually made it worse. It got to a point where when I powered on, I only got the backlit softkeys. A few times I got a weird image I've never seen before. Something about bad or unknown upload mode (with a little droid in teh corner....should have taken a picture). And finally I would get nothing; HOWEVER, if I plugged my tab into my laptop and gave it a few seconds, ODIN would see it. I could try flashing a kernel, but it would never process, just hang at the first step so....
with the tab plugged into the laptop and ODIN showing a connection, I would hold VOL DOWN + POWER until I see it disconnect (this is evident of a power down since I have no lights to indicate that). Once it disconnects (yellow box disappears) you can let go of POWER but do NOT release VOL DOWN. It will reconnect shortly thereafter. You are now in Download mode (whether or not you actually see anything on the tablet. You can test this theory by flashing something. What fixed it for me? I downloaded firmware from samfirmware.com. Specifically I downloaded JJ7 v2.2 (full file name I used was P1000XWJJ7.rar) I think what made the difference was using all 3 files. I did not use a PIT file, I put P1000XWJJ7-REV03-ALL-CL669843.tar.md5 in the PDA box, MODEM_P1000XXJK5_REV_00_CL690077.tar.md5 for Phone, and GT-P1000-CSC-MULTI-OXXJK2.tar.md5 in CSC. I did NOT check repartition. Now, this was after I had tried several things like flashing PIT by itself, different stock kernels, full ROMs, etc.... This was the final step I took. Now I'm back to normal.
I'd be interested to see if this solves anyone else's problem. I am so thrilled that I just fixed my "bricked" tab (no power, no response, no apparent charging even) that I'm hoping my time and effort can help someone else.
Let us know what happens. I am actually scouring the forums now because I know at least 2 others were having similar problems as I and maybe this will help them as well.
BTW, I did lose EVERYTHING on the internal SD, including all my backups. Thankfully I always made backups to External
P.S. I should mention it is an AT&T (GSM) Tab.

Thanks for the suggestion. I think your version of galaxy tab is different with mine and I am not sure that it will work. I am really desparate for solution. This disaster started when the tab's battery is low and suddenly off and when it's charged and turned on it bricked
Point being, tabs are tabs. You will need to use the same procedure, but a different ROM that is designed for your tablet. Go there and find a ROM. There is a thread about unbricking your tablet, I think in the Android Development section that should have a link to samfirmware.com and may provide you with a ROM version that should work. something that may help: plug your tab into the charger at least overnight. I used the stock charger and cable and charged it for 12 hours or so. I did not get any indication that it was charging since the screen and softkeys would not respond, but it did charge.
Of course, I look back and I think you have an indicator, but still a good idea. Try it anyway. Can't make it worse, eh? Mine seemed hardbricked, but it wasn't. I was real close to taking it apart before I found something that works. I believe, IMO, what really fixed it is flashing ROM (PDA), Modem, and CSC files all at once. It could have been something else, but that was the last thing I did before it finally booted.
Go to samfirmware.com, create a free account, and sign in. Then go here (I think your tab is a P1010, correct?) http://www.samfirmware.com/WEBPROTECT-p1010.htm
and Download this:
1010XWKC1 ## MULTI - CSC - OXXKC1 P1WIFI 2.2.1 2011 March DOWNLOAD
(click on DOWNLOAD)
Unzip that file you just downloaded
Start ODIN
Hold VOL DOWN and plug in tab to computer
I believe 3 files should be in the .rar (you can use 7-zip to open, Google it)
the MODEM file goes in Phone.
the CSC file goes in, you guessed it, CSC
last one is PDA.
I think I just rewrote instructions that can be found in the Galaxy Tab Bible. lol. This is what I would do. It worked for me.
Password for P1000XWJJ7.rar
Gentlemen,
I've downloaded both P1000XWJJ7.rar and P1010XWKC1_OXXKC1 to fix my bricked tab, but both require a password to extract the archives. Does anyone know the password? Has anyone had the same issue? I doubt it, otherwise i think it would have been addressed. Any help is appreciated.
I'm having the same problem were you able to fix it?

try sampro.pl
see if that works.
I too require the passwords to be able to extract these files if someone would be so kind.
Copied straight from SamFirmware.com. It is right at the top of the download page.
try both of these... seems it could be either one of them
## Password is samfirmware.com

do a quick search of the dev thread for EA24 and you should be able to find the original SPH-P100 files. then you can find the EB28 and EF17 updates as well to get all the way to the official GB release.
tried the suggested file still get the error that the OP got in the first screen

thank you very much for helping me!!
can anyone help?
I have the T-Mobile version of this, but here's a guide and download files to recover your stock ROM. You can follow the entire guide if you want the Overcome ROM as well:
Guide:
http://www.teamovercome.net/p1000/?page_id=17
Downloads:
http://www.teamovercome.net/p1000/?page_id=21
Good luck!
NOTE:
Sprint modem is not listed, but you can fix that later. If you can get it to work with this guide & using the last modem file, we can go from there.

try the one on teamovercome . net I have soft bricked mine but it worked after i followed their instructions there..
Has anyone EVER confirmed that overcome work for non GSM tab, for unbricking and CwM functions?
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA
I have done hours of researching and this isn't my first time i bricked a phone so I kind off have some experince fixing the phone but this seems harder than before.
I first tired to flash a kernel through odin on my captivate because i wanted to try out cyanogen mod but somehow the kernel had failed on me. When i tried to restart my phone, I got the phone---!---pc logo.
So i did some research on how to get the phone out of the soft brick. First thing I did was trying to get into recovery mode with the 3 buttons, but didnt work out. After that I tried to get into download mode and it worked. My first thought was too use odin and reflash, and that is what i did. Now the problem is, I had put the correct pit file and stock rom, because I had reflashed using these two same files before, but the thing is, it gets stuck on "set partition". So I did everything from, trying on different computers to changing usb cables to using different versions of odin and finally to taking out the sim card and sd card and taking out and placing the phones battery back in. And i had everything checked too so that wasn't the problem. The following were checked: Auto Reboot, Check Re-Partition and F.Reset Time.
If anyone knows the solution can you please help me out, thank you in advance!
When you check repartition, you need to load a pit file in the pit slot/tab for Odin. You have two options.
1) Flash froyo stock(kb2), if you don't want/need Gingerbread Bootloaders. The Heimdall package from Adam Outler is an easy 1 click solution.
2) Flash KF1 if you need GB bootloaders. This will also fix ant previous 3 button combo problem you may have. Use the package with a pit file and bootloaders.
It also sounds like you may need ajig to get into download mode, but if you follow the Captivate sig link below, you should be able to find everything you need to get going.
Thank you !
Thanks a lot mrhaley30705 ! I have gone through of some guides and done more research about these two, and I was thinking of flashing kb2 on to my phone but I'm really worried if it might brick my phone, because the captivate I have is the rogers one not the ATT&T one.
I just had a few questions like, before I do the Heimdall One-Click, is it required to install the Zadig file ? because it had came up before I opened up the Heimdall One Click program. I think i had used the Heimdall One-Click before (the video that is posted on youtube) by outleradam, but the thing was, it wasn't recognizing my phone. So I'm guessing it has something to do with Zadig file, because I made sure I ran it as Administrator also so I'm kinda lost.
My other question was, the consequences, if this program would not work for me, would it hard brick my phone? I really want to make sure I go ahead with it.
And my last question is, if I were to go ahead with this, it said on the forum I would have to reset my APN settings, so would that be applying another software to the phone or can i configure that manual ?
And Thanks again for all your help !
If you want the Canadian firmware, search for TRusselo's stock threads. He has a full set of Canadian firmware.
Anytime you flash bootloaders there is a chance of hard bricking your phone, either from an interruption in communication between your phone and computer (think power outage or bad cable) or accidentally mismatching bootloaders (think the old 3 button fix on top of GB bootloaders). Just follow all of the precautions you can when flashing bootloaders.
APN editing is done manually.
Oh alright I got how put the APN information, thank you.
And oh okay, that makes more senses.
And for the Canadian firmwares, that's what I pretty much did with Odin, I took his stock firmware and tried to flash it with Odin but wasn't passing the "set partition" part like I mentioned before. I followed his instructions too. So, that's why I'm a bit confused now, because I'm guessing if Odin doesn't work then I would have to use the Kb2 link that is posted on your Sig. Do you have any suggestions maybe ?
The canadian version of the captivate will flash the US verson, it just changes your boot screen and kernel splash to an att one. I would flash the KB2, then if you absolutley had to have the canadian version, flash it.
Thank you !
Thanks a lot once again ! and I will give it a try and let you know how it goes !
Maybe try NOT checking re-partition. This sometimes can cause a problem, in fact most tutorials i have seen always say DO NOT check re-partition. It's worth a try
