hello...after the update from GB to the russian JB ROM i have these problems: insert SIM,my IMEI is missing and baseband unknown...i have followed the exact tutorial..i have had galaxy ace before so i'm not a total stranger to flashing thru odin...i have tried wipe data , wipe cache, factory reset, rooting and deleting dalvik cache and nothing...i reflashed back to GB..worked fine but with the same problems...everything is working fine , wireless and bluetooth...i can boot into recovery mode and downloading mode with no problems...i have read some things about the EFS folder...i didnt do a backup of it...any advice?
If the imei is missing, you destroyed the device. You can try to get it back. There are a few guides. Or you can get it serviced..

You can install jb root it and reset binary counter. Then flash stock gb. Find method in development threads. And den get it serviced. They will replace the motherboard. Hope you have warranty. Else it's 6k for the service. I got the same problem and followed this procedure.

Hi,
My IMEI is 004999010640000.
I understood from reading on this forum that it is not a valid one.
However, my phone works.
I did back efs folder but I might had backed it up after too ma y past flashes.
1. How can I know if IMEI is fine?
2. Can IMEI or eds folder be restored from carrier/other if my backup is obsolete?
3. Can I find it in an old nandroid backup? How?

10x,
If it is corrupted, how can flashing a stock rom restore it?
I am on ICS. Should i simply flash a stock rom using cwm recovery?
I'd hate flashing back and forth, is there any alternative solution?
If my phone works, why do I need the imei for?

This point to the case of superbrick mate. It has caused damage to your system and maybe also data partition. If you have warranty try to seek help from service center where they will replace mobo. Otherwise only repartition can help revive your phone. Follow the link from dr.ketan tool box in his signature to the guide for revive superbrick note cause by emmc bug. Hope you can make it. Cheers.

Have you checked into you internal sdcard if you have a backup? Some custom roms create a efs backup into /mnt/sdcard/backup, when installing them.

Need to know what is your phone model . Check Here to chose your forum/Guide by Version of your phone or you will have more problems by using wrong solutions due to different versions of Galaxy S
use this guide
you can get a rescue kit from My Android Collections and or a solution from My Android Solutions
Use only ROM and solution for your model and Wipe x3
But First powerdown, pull out Battery, SIM CARD, and EXT.SD card, press power button for a minute, than powerup without SIM and Ext.SD Card....
(Do remember to backup your contacts, data, images etc and also your EFS folder before flashing a ROM and make sure you have more than 50% battery charge before you attempt any sort of flashing.)
My brother owns an AT&T cappy...n after some months of custom rom flashing, he gave me the phone asking me to repair it.
It has stopped reading the sim card, when i checked the imei of the device it gave me a popup of IMEI null/null..also the baseband version is also unknown..
I have many a times flashed the stock rom as every thread about my problem is telling me to do..
also used galaxy s unlock, app for factory unlocking GS devices..but know success
i seriously want to give it a last try before handing it over for a repair outside..
any help would be highly appreciated!!!!!:crying:
Yep, usually using Odin or Heimdall to return to stock firmware should restore the imei. Have u tried to flash to Stock KK4 firmware yet ? The Odin or Heimdall One Clicks for i897ucKK4 can be found here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18370912&postcount=3.
yess!! many a times..but no success
I also wanted to add that :-
during the galaxy s unlock method..i usually get the busybox problem error...though i've installed and verified it many a times
With all the months of flashing that ur brother did...i would think there would be a backup of the efs folder on the sdcard?? Some roms and kernels, when flashed, will create the efs backup for u.
yess!! hopefully dere's an EFS folder.. but i was too bugged up when googling for the method for restoring it..
n also i'm not sure whether the folder is fine or corrupted/messed up..
also i'll be greatful if i'll get to know the easiest step by step process of restoring it.:good:

If you check on the internal sd, you'll see an efs folder. Should probably take a look for yourself before asking those questions

Use one of these Odin or Heimdall One Clicks to get back to Stock KK4. That has proven to restore the imei for several. Then once u r back and have the # restored, back it up in a few places, just in case u run into this problem again.

KK4 is stock GB, make a backup before you flash it using Titanium Backup.
Flashing KK4 should restore your IMEI. Once on it, make a backup (copy) of your efs folder before going back to CM. That way, if it happens again, you'll be able to restore it.

After going back to cm just copy efs folder again. need for set permission? Sorry for my English is bad
Once you are on Stock KK4, only then make a backup of the good efs folder. And after flashin cm or whatever rom, if you loose your imei, then you can restore the good backup from kk4.
There are some threads with tutorials somewhere in this forum and also apps on the Play Store that can be used as well.

He bought it brand new, and he did flash roms without backing up the /efs folder. I have the box with IMEI on it .
Is a jtag a tool that they use for hacking xbox 360?

Jtag is used to push ROMs/bootloaders into devices but I'm not even sure that would fix your problem if flashing stock KK4 doesn't fix it.
