please help IMEI show as 004999010640000 since new rom

sadly I dont have backup of the files before flashing
I can access data, but I cannot make\ receive phone calls or messages.
please help as this is my only phone?
not sure if I can revert to an older rom, and which one to pick up.
I got mine on orange UK.

Are you saying that you don't know your IMEI?
1. check your invoice when you ordered the device (mine stated my IMEI).
2. login to orange uk website to manage your account and surf around, my IMEI was also listed in there
Or that you don't know how to change it?
1. What ROM are you running?
2. There is a secret code you can type into your dialer which will simultaneously do a factory reset and change your IMEI. Search the forums for this.

I remember reading somewhere on here that if you flash back to FroYo it will reinstate your IMEI number.
Perhaps use JPU 2.2.1
Hope it helps ;-)

flash with odin and done

[Q] unblock after 3 attemps to unlock through imei code

Hello,
I want to unlock my mobile in order to change my telephone company, so I asked the company for the code to unlcok it through imei.
They give it to me and I tried, but always said that is not valid. I asked to the telephone company again and they told me that the code they provide me is the one that samsung gave to them.
I have reading in different forums and looks like that my problem is that my galaxy is on version 4.0.4 and some commands doesn't work.
As i have one more try I'm thinking to downgrade the mobile to a gingerbread version, and try again. But if fails my mobile will be blocked... Do you know any application to check the attemps to unblock my mobile and if it is necessary reset the counter?
I have tried the comand *#7465625#, but it says that is not valid....
Thanks in advanced and sorry for my english!

Unknown IMEI and locked network after trying to recover

Hi everyone,
Hope you can help me solve this, cuz I'm way out of my knowledge..
My phone broke the lcd and was out of action for a few months.. After I finally got a replacement screen, the phone wasn't working and said IMEI unknown, I've tried to flash a few roms via recovery but nothing. So I just went crazy and flashed it via kies. It worked, the imei appeared but the phone was locked again..
Back to the shelf a few weeks until I could afford to pay for unlock.. When I picked it up, it was unknown IMEI again and the guy at the shop basically told me he couldn't help.
Was he right? I refuse to believe I can't recover the phone.. Can you please help?
Thanks!

Anyone?

Are you sure is that phone imei is not blocked, because provider may block if it is stolen reported.
I had the same problem after changing display IMEI unknown
But somehow it was saved from 'unknown IMEI' I don't know how.
restored efs from previous backup (twrp & philz recovery)
- no imei
I flashed stock
- no IMEI
asop
- no imei
tried different modems
again stock
- suddenly its worked
(some users reported flashing different modems worked for them)

Yes I'm sure imei is not blocked by network. Have a friend that bought a phone which he discovered the hard way it was stolen, anyway, blocked imei by network behavior is completely different.
This is what happened to me first time only valid imei after kies rom update.

If you see imei again, Make a backup using pc, there is a guide in development section. So, you can easily restore again.

Help note 9

Ok guys need someone to guide me here. A friend of mine has a Note 9 from Verizon. The imei shows as 15 zeroes!. He was messing with the phone and factory binary to flash from verizon U to U1 to TMB rom, wish he accomplished but now the imei its all zeros, searching online found hardware boxes and things like that that will help you repair the imei but octupus box witch its the one we were looking at dosnt support imei repair of note 9
Then we found the software used by imeigurus that actually have a section for verizon phones that states : cert write IGST method
I think that by having a certification file for note 9 we can write the file using this program and get a new imei , buuuuuut , I found something about cert files not supporting CPID phones witch its the case of the Note 9, so at this point have no idea how to get new imei , any help will be appreciated , phone's out of waranty !

Your "friend" should be able to get the IMEI from their Verizon account information, or, perhaps, on the box that it came with.
Please don't go to the laundry list of excuses that your "friend" has as to why they cannot get the IMEI.
If Verizon cannot help, contact Samsung.
Also, there may be other ways to retrieve the IMEI, use the search function here @ XDA. If there's a legitimate way to retrieve the original IMEI, it'll be here somewhere @ XDA.
Changing the IMEI is frowned upon here & at every other reputable site.

From what I understand, flashing the old "U" firmware might restore the IMEI number.
This phone is about 3 - 4 months old, since most warranties last at least a year this is a bit short to say it's out of warranty.

check the back of the phone...

This kind of discussion about changing imei is not allowed on XDA Forums. If you have a backup file you can use search button on XDA to restore it, if dont, you have to contact your mobile company.

Question EFS folder

Hello, I need help to be able to recover my phone, apparently the EFS folder is corrupted and I do not have a mobile network, only Wi-Fi. If anyone can backup your EFS folder and share it so that I can restore my phone, I would be very grateful.

Order a new phone, copy EFS, return phone...

hahaha , I thought so, but it is a bit expensive, I bought the equipment on aliexpress and I live in Chile, South America

how you going to do that and we dont have unlocked bootloader and root and it will not work 100% because i did that with s6 couple years ago it will not work even if some one gives you his efs folder that contain his imei and device unique ids serials and that's not going to happen anyways...

Download the full OTA firmware for your device (ex. OTA for RMX3311 if originally your device was RMX3311) and the OnePlus Updater app. Install that app and after that install manually the OTA file you just downloaded. You will get you mobile data connection back.
