Thx for your reply, but unfortunately I've tried restocking using Overcome from the link at your signature.
But it doesn't help, IMEI is still 0044XX

what was the first thing you did that broke the IMEI?
If it was broken after installing CM9/10, then your sdcard will have a backup folder with efs folder and efs-xxx folders.

I don't know anymore, I flash a few ROMs and only then do I notice the GPS not working and IMEI is now 0044XXX.
I've restock a few times with overcome and re-partition, therefore all backup are already lost.

I found some in external SD as well.
and those aren't wiped by any repartitioning or ROM install.

Ooh, where do you find the file ? In backup folder ? I don't have backup folder at the external sd

Yes. Backup folder.
Sorry. That means you dont have a backup.

If he has been flashing the phone and you have null imei and baseband, chances are that he also tried to root and flashed the package intended for the i9300.
Head over to the dev section and take a look in my sticky thread guide. Theres a param binary near the bottom of the first post. Download that and flash with odin. That should give you a working phone back.
Let me know how you get on.

Dont update ril as it has a qualcomm ril not a samsung ril and for the same reason efs pro wont do alot as the I9305 uses a different efs structure aswell.
I am currently in the process of updating it to support qualcomm devices.

[Q] Lost imei i9000

Hi, today i install cm10.1 on my galaxy s. I don't made backup efs and i lost my IMEI :C
What I must/can doing ?
Can I live with this ?

I had this problem before. Someone said that if this happens. Than You'll need to flash a modem.
Check your Baseband first
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk 2

Been covered many times. It usually happens when you skip a version of android.
Flash back to stock via Odin and upgrade Android in order.. froyo-GB-ICS-JB for example.
No imei will mean no network connection.... Usually.

Cheers.

Well, got the same problem and couldn't fix it. Somehow the Perseus kernel will fix it if you stay in this kernel.
Search for perseus and follow the instructions.

WTH are you talking about? Looks like his EFS got corrupted and this have nothing to do with kernel.
Try to use EFS Tool from Dev section.

Efs corrupt and perseus isn't a fix, yes that's true. But if he can't fix it like I tried with several tools (EFS also) to fix IMEI/EFS the only solution for him is using the perseus kernel. Just a workaround, that's all.

I restored my efs using a backup that I placed with QPST and no, it doesn't help at all...
If I'm asking is because I've already tried that. I know how to use the search button and Google.
This happened because I've ticked Nand full wipe on Odin, I just want to know if there's a way to fix that. I like Perseus kernel, in fact it's the kernel I've been using the last months, but I lost the possibility of installing AOSP ROMS, which is frustrating to me

i just experiencing this exact same issue....simply restore your efs... if you already backed up of your efs of course :cyclops:...for me, i was using hc-ktool from playstore...works like a charm

Well I tried several times to restore my efs and I'm having the same problem: I'm stuck with Perseus Kernel and can't not install any AOSP ROM (yeah frustrating).
I've recently found out that Adam Kernel makes your Modem work as Perseus does, but I'm still hoping someone can found a solution, or at least that the dev of such kernels port them kernels to AOSP ROMS.

You may want to check the permissions on your efs folder. There is a thread on here somewhere that gives the terminal commands. Worked like a charm for me. I found that the files were being deleted. Once permissions corrected all sorted.

You have to root your phone and install Terminal Emulator from Google Play.
Open terminal emulator and type as ;
su
rm /efs/FactoryApp/keystr
rm /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode
echo -n ON >> /efs/FactoryApp/keystr
echo -n ON >> /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode
chown 1000.1000 /efs/FactoryApp/keystr
chown 1000.1000 /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode
chmod 0744 /efs/FactoryApp/keystr
chmod 0744 /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode
reboot
You now should not see the that message anymore. Its because of an EFS corruption. ( Thanks to yesilcin*com (sawgent) ) for exact solution.
Hope it helps!!!

Try this and hopefully it should do the job.
You can use either adb or a shell app.

[Q] GT-P1000N (Latin Model)

Hi everyone,
As i stated, I have the gt-p1000n running stock GB 2.3.3
All info is in attached screenshots
My tab has been bricked and resurrected.
My problem is, the network capabilities are gone.
Will not recognize sim, yet will reboot when removed or inserted
I have read previous threads and searched, but the N model is hard to find for.
As i found in other threads, I have tried flashing: JP3 Modem (Gingerbread) 2.3.3 for P1000N by HumerOS but still doesnt work.
Should I flash a different modem.bin?
Will it brick me again?
Any and all help appreciated

Please help........someone.......anyone???

People use the word brick lightly.
You can brick your tab if you flash a Rom made for another device.
Or if the flashing was interrupted when it was writing the bootloader.
There is no way you brick your tab by flashing different modem.
Just go ahead and flash as many modems as you like.

Ok So i think i know what the problem is. When I checked the IMEI using *#06# it showed a different number than the number on the back casing. I think they (repair shop) might have changed my IMEI after JTAG??
Also, EFS backup shows different IMEI (same as in *#06#) and Serial number than on unit.
Suggestions?

the IMEI you posted earlier looks legit.
Could they have changed the back cover of your unit or the motherboard?
Usually, flashing a stock ROM from Samsung using Odin will restore your IMEI.

I cant say for sure about the MB, but I doubt they would replace the MB for free. The back cover is mine. There are distinct markings on it that I confirm it.

Now I remember, I also had this problem. My IMEI was also changed after flashing a ROM and I lost my network service, I think it was a CM nightly as well. I remember just getting the next nightly and it was fixed.

Right now the Tab is stock Froyo with the exception of being rooted. No Custom recovery yet and no ROM. I'm trying to fix the issue at hand first (already solved one problem).

Yeah, what I'm saying is that maybe flashing a new ROM might solve it. I don't think you've got anything to lose now, right?

Ok so as the screenshot shows I have a new nightly Rom, updated and all, yet the IMEI is the same (not the correct one), and the S/N changed yet again to a different number.
Im lost
