Have you made a nandroid backup?
If so try to restore it.
With root explorer you can copy the efs file.

downgrade back to gingerbread use a JVU + root http://filerio.in/813lzbepi1em and than do progressive upgrade (read My Android Solutions) link below

You can always try to reconstruct the efs file. There are tutorials for how to do that.

[Q] IMEI changed after flash

Installed the CM7 rom as usual but
my imei was changed to 000000000000000 and can not make calls and send sms
(Although not show signal, you can
access the internet). In the system
does not contain the efs folder and
had not backed up. Is there a
solution?
not want to change, I know it's
illegal, I "only" repair the original. Yes,
I googled before posting, but found
nothing satisfactory. thank you and sorry for my bad english.

that was a bug of the rom which was fixed
try flashing the firmware through odin

thanks for the reply. Had already
restored the 2.3.6 rom by odin and
several others with cwm and not
solved.

then its a big problem

I guess its a hardware problem.. something wrong with the motherboard.. if flashing stock ROM or custom ROM didn't solve it then i guess you have to take it to the SC..

had tried this method but the efs
folder (And their archives) do not exist
in the system, unfortunately ...
I've been exploring the system files and view the log Custom recovery found the problem. Recovery was an error during the flash unfortunately could not solve the problem (yet) but anyway it was good to know where the error happened. Any help will be important, since that time my phone is just an MP3 player lol
Once again thank you and sorry for my english

Happened with me once and i think a trip to one of the samsung care center won't hurt much
Just be sure not to tell the people there that you flashed the cm7 custom rom on the device.

OK, thanks for the reply. I will try
a downgrade to Froyo in any
carrier to recover the efs and if it
fails it'll follow your advice. Thank
you very much

[Q] Um.............I think i've bricked myself?

Oh b******s! Can anybody possibly confirm to me what I suspect? Numbnuts aka me decided that I wanted to go back to genuine firmware (unrooted) I9305. Done the official thing via ODIN and thought wahey back to normal. Um..............well i'm not basically. Not only has the device remained modified..............my sim card is now showing as no service (t-mobile/EE) and to top it all off the *#06* thing to find the IMEI? It's showing as nu//lnull. Not good. I've managed to install the original 4.11 firmware via Odin but that's about it.

Sounds like your IMEI needs to be restored. Did you back it up prior to tinkering?

I had same problem with imei number. Would say null/null for imei and say device is
unknown. And only state no sim inserted. I havent found a complete fix and my i9305 still does not
work with stock firmware kernel. All i found was a workaround for now.
What I did to get phone working was:
Install stock firmware via odin.
Then flash perseus kernel via odin.
Make sure to clean cache etc if you coming from custom rom.
I do not know why this works. Found by trial and error.
Hope it helps you in some way
Have to say I have no problems with perseus kernel

I think that's a no go. Stuck on the boot logo unfortunately (that's after flashing the thing from there and wiping the cache) I guess it really does need to go to the service centre after all (I will reflash the 4.1.2 stock)

Is it possible you are not using a unlocked baseband. I found using unrooted stock baseband caused bootloop use one from s3 toolkit should fix it for you. I am using bll3. With 4.2.1 . Only thing I can think would cause. sorry couldnt help.

What do you mean "Which SUS" ? THE SUS? http://software.sonymobile.com/update_service_setup

Find any 434 firmware(but not UK unbranded ) and flash it with flashtool than boot your phone,after that use sus(sony update service) sure it will find a new software.

I flashed .307 Belgium as it was one I already had. Everything was working well however I had no Baseband and therefore no Signal and the phone wouldn't recognise my SIM card.
I then used SUS to update it and I am back to the same boot-loop as before.
Any ideas? Maybe I need to fix Baseband before updating but have no clue how to do that?

Hey bro I finally figured it out!! So after thinking about and wondering why baseband isn't working I realised it is because of missing IMEI.
Then I thought where would IMEI be stored; IN THE TA PARTITION!!
So what I did was:
1. Flash Belgium .307 with Flashtool.
2. Setup phone normally so that it is usable. Turn on USB Debugging and Unknown Sources.
3. Then get DoomLords Root Toolkit; Plug in phone normally while it is on and run the kit so that it Roots the phone.
4. After that restarts make sure you have Super SU and it is working.
5. Connect to Flashtool while the phone is on and it will automatically run through the phone and tell you all the details of the phone and Busybox and Root Access Allowed and stuff.
6. Once all is well and you know phone is Rooted and stuff; close Flashtool and open Backup TA.
7. Then simply Restore your TA partition.
8. Reboot and check your Baseband Version and IMEI number are present and correct.
9. All should be working now; Really hope it works out for you too!
I will be trying to update and see what that leads to.
If you need links to any of the above stuff let me know. Will be glad to help you out.

Great ..!! u managed to get the baseband and IMEI back?

I have some old old version I guess but it is the only one that has never given me problems in backing up and restoring so long as my phone is rooted and busybox is installed. It has no version number or anything, its a really simple batch file.
I can pack it in a zip and sent it to you somehow if you need?

Don't restore using some else's TA partition, it has to be the original one for you phone. Another user tried this and it totally bricked the phone.

Firstly, you must understand ODIN flashing procedures. Search for info in this forum. READ Carefully all the how-to's.. then ReRead the whole thing again. Then go to www.sammobile.com/firmware n download the stock Samsung ROM. Otherwise browse the thread, I saw a new ODIN flashed stock Rom prebloated. Might give it a try. Good luck
