my galaxy mini dont have imei.. I made a tutorial to unlock the phone and lost my imei. not to do, I'm desperate
help me please...
i tried flash stock rom, custom rom and nothing... i read that the problem has to do with a file called StL5, but i dont know... i hope you can help me... thanx
you are in a big trouble dude
do you have any backup of your imei partition
I lost my IMEI too, when I installed a custom from. But it's not a big problem if you have signal. Just, you can't install apps from PC through play store and you can't use the anti-theft function. And I think you can't recover your IMEI. I tried all the methods, but not success. And if you return your phone to the Samsung service, they will know that your phone is rooted, etc... Only if you hard brick your phone...There are some methods...
So which means he has to purposely hard brick his phone...
sent from a human's mind.
it means he possibly now have an Apod
I Dont have signal, i dont do nothing, the device reboot very much, Dont have Sound.... I think that is dead x.x

Soft Brick, cause OS still running.

When Samsung sc changes mobo of the phone, does we get knew IMEI??
maybe, maybe not
bad luck!

Hi All, I have done something stupid and now my ACE is a little bit broken.
After flash procedure with ODIN and Korean rom for SHW-M240S, my IMEI was changed and on a main screen appears sw number. So phone is working but different IMEI persist and this stupid RED sw number on a wallpaper
I was flashing back my phone with a lot of different roms, reset to factory values and still the same. Maybe full recovery from CODEROM could help, the problem is that i don't make backup Hope to find kind user, who will make a clean backup and send it to me... I'm just a girl and probably this is real problem

Why were you flashing a Korean Firmware anyway? You might get away with flash european roms on india or south american aces. But the korean ace has a different feature set. I think you have to restore nv ram which stores the IMEI. Maybe someone with experience with the matter will be able to help.

You didn't understand, i need a clear copy from OTHER phone
OK, my mistake, i'm starting to try Your backup..
still the same there was no android.img
Hey, iv got the same problem. Please help us! :-(
I was looking for similar files in European and Korean software... File amss, which is in MODEM tar archive looks suspicious... In all European roms this file has the same size, in Korean rom it's bigger. Maybe it overwrites something important in ACE?
Im trying everything and searching everywhere but still found nothing :-(
maybe someone advise if this helps https://opensource.samsung.com/reception/reception_main.do?method=reception_search&searchValue=S5830

one solution is installing VillainRom, there is no sys info on display. interesting!
Hi guys!
You are the only one that could help me....
A friend of mine has a G Note N7000 (white) and he wants to selll it...but....
He said that is bricked (not starting) after he tried to downgrade it from ICS to Android 2 Gingerbread....
is this gone for ever? it can be unbricked?
thank you!
please help me....i want this phone.....
Well there is alot of info about bricked notes so I advice you to do some xda searching as there are several ways to revive a bricked note. Use the search function and you'll find what you need. I would advice you to check Dr.Ketan's signature for some helpfull links. Ask your friend if he did a FULL WIPE when reverting from ICS to GB,that could be the 'source' of the brick.
So, we cause a triple murder before breakfast, start a race war before dinner - that's uh, that's a pretty good day.
my friend told me that when he tried to downgrade it, the bootloader was broken....

u need to get more info from him as to what exactly is the problem...
does the phone switch on...
is the download mode on the phone accessible
is the pc recognizing the phone when connected thru odin
he said that the phone is not switching on after full wipe....
ok the phone doesnot on...
but does it have access to download mode ? it is different from normally switching on (vol dwm+pwr+home)

Yesterday I flashed the JB rom by Crash (oh, ze irony). It worked for an hour, but then it rebooted and hung at the Samsung logo at boot. When going in to CWM i saw that the /efs could not be found, and I dont have a backup of my efs folder.
After trying nearly everything today, i cant seem to get my own IMEI back. First it was empty, now its the generic one (0049****). Currently im back on GB because i cant get on my mobile network with ICS or JB with the generic IMEI.
I tried most of the tutorials to get it back, tried the GSII_Repair tool, none of them seem to work.
I also tried the .nv/.nv.bak removal/backupping/replacing, but that doesnt seem to help either. Problem in some tutorials is that i have to move the imei folder and the .nv_data file, both of which are not present in my /efs folder.
Can anyone help me out? The phone runs stable and fine now under GB (with the generic IMEI it can work with GB apparently), but i would really like to go to ICS again
You can use (I have a developer IMEI and I use this workaroung right now.) it with ICS or JB. After a reboot you have to change the pin number. After this you'll get your network connection. That was one reason why I used GB a long time - but today I switched to JB (eybee) and had to use this way.

I dont think i really understand you. Under ICS i cant use it, because my network doesnt allow me to sign on. Under GB it does, but id rather just have ICS or JB and my own IMEI...
if you didnt make efs backup your screwed. And no nandroid doesnt back it up. No titanium backup also doesnt.
You need samsung to fix it for you, or get someone, cvxcvx, to that, if you can prove the phone is yours...
you learned the hard way.
I really think all rom makers should have in their first post a line that says back dafuq efs up first.
Anyway, the 49 is not developers, it is test emei, and yea its banned in some countries so if, like in Uk they decide to update banned imei list, you wil lose service.

Hey Guys,
I have Samsung Galaxy Ace (GT-S5830), recently while uprading the my ace with the Cyanogenmod10, i had bricked my phone, now it never goes into the download mode so that i can flash the firmware with Odin. Actually yesterday, i used Rom Manager to Install the Custom Rom, and when said yes to install the custom rom, phone shutdown, and never started again, i googled around for some way out to go into the download mode, tried all the key combination, but could not go into the download mode, i tried the Home + VolumeUp and connected the USB to PC, with this method, my phone was detected, but because it was not in the download mode (i guess), so Odin just stucked at setup connection... and does not go further. Have anyone went through this dilemma, can anyone help me out of this, my warranty period is elapsed, so was thinking to get phone back to life myself.
Please anyone help me with this, i love the phone... I know that was my mistake to use Rom Manager to Install the Rom.
take it to the service. there is no other way. i tried everything, belive me. repairing costed me 200hrk (around 45$).
and
DONT USE ROM MANAGER
By taking it to a service center...Only way to recover it

They'll use a JTAG. You can do that to but they're really really really expensive.

check the back of your phone.when you remove your battery you will see 3 gold squares..when you take it to the service center and it becomes 9 silver small squares it means that they didnt change the motherboard they just solder it to connect wires to the motherboard they used jtag...:cyclops:

Check for imei no. If they use JTAG it won't change since the motherboard/chip set of the phone is same.

Don't know where, but its more expensive than a brand new ace (and lots of low-mid range smartphones)
I bricked mine 1 week after getting it. I took it in and said it shut off and I can't turn it back on. They made sure it wasn't the battery, then replaced it under warranty. So if you still have a warranty, it's worth a try. The guys at the store won't know you've been screwing around with it.
To use Rom Manager you need a CM-compatible rom installed. It says that right on Rom Manager's download page. DO NOT USE WITH STOCK ROMS EVER!!!

i guess that was a huge mistake,

If I understand it correctly, this 300k resistor trick is the same as a USB jig, and should work on the S3 mini. It may be worth a try building one is you can find instructions. Nothing to lose!

Oh that is same which I did you flashed it on mbr, gpt now your phone is completely dead .if you unbrick it you will get other problems like no imei etc the best solution I suggest is to take it to samsung and claim it in warranty.DON'NT DO ANY THING BY YOUR SELF BECAUSE WARRANTY WILL AVOID AND SAMSUNG WOULD NOT ACCEPT IT.
