I'd lost my /efs backup and so had no chance of recovering my IMEI, but here is the thing, today while fiddling through "SGSToolbox" i tried the CSC selection and voila! it was able to read my IMEI!
i dont uderstand , could this mean that i can possibly recover my IMEI ?
thanks
Hi there,
I have a galaxy S I9000. The IMEI i have on my phone when i press *#06# is 004999010640000.
I have NO backup of the EFS folder. Sure.
However, I know the IMEI has it is written on the back on the phone.
How can i restore that?
i have to say that i tried downgrading using ODIN... phone is ok in download mode... I did a lot of research but no luck so far.
Thanks
Hello to recover your IMEI you have to flash a stock 2.3.6 ROM and then backup your EFS folder.
After installing new version, if the problem is persist then restor simply your EFS folder.
Hi Higgins91
Thanks for your answer. With all due respect, I dont think it is a correct solution as I tried it and it did not work.
However, maybe before reinstalling the Stock 2.3.6 i should have tottaly delete the EFS folder (the one with the wrong IMEI). Then the Stock "could" recreate the EFS with the correct IMEI on the phone... (thats only what I did read in another forum - But I have not tested).
Luckily I found my previous EFS backed up. (I thought i never did it, but i did 2 years ago ehheh).
Subject closed, even if there is no real bullet proff solution for that.
Thanks
theres athread in here somewhere about that sorry cant remember where read it about a year ago and if it wasnt here it was on darkyrom Q&A maybe
Hello Everyone! I was on ResurrectionROM LP v5.4.3. I flashed Raw kernel. I lost my IMEI and baseband. I somehow repaired my BaseBand but have generic IMEI 00499. I tried almost all things. I didnt know this could happen and so i dont have a backup of the efs folder. I dont have the original shipped IMEI folder, so this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/general/guide-recover-imei-9-steps-t1264021 wont help me. I searched throughout the internet. Searched all xda threads. Tried all of them, but couldnt get my IMEI back. Can someone please help me? Is using those dongles and boxes the only way to get my IMEI back?
My problem has been solved. Thanks XDA. Requesting this thread to be deleted.
Hi guys
I've looked all over the internet on how to restore the IMEI and I don't seem to be having any luck. At the moment the IMEI under the Android system shows as '0' I and I want to restore it to the proper code that's printed on the inside of the phone and outside of the packaging box. I initially made a NANDROID backup using TWRP but no EFS partition that other phones use was backed up, so I have no idea how I can restore the IMEI information. I'm trying to install Cyanogenmod 13 but I'm disappointed that the incorrect IMEI is showing. I have even restored the entire TWRP backup and the IMEI is still showing as '0'.
Can some help me out here please.
Many thanks
Will
I just flashed CM13 and IMEI came back, but the phone works only in 2G now
(I have xt1079)
Some time ago I did flash stock android.
After the flash, I lost the IMEI, the phone does not read two SIM cards, because there is no IMEI, it is not displayed.
I have read and seen videos that it can be fixed, but in my case something is wrong and I cannot restore IMEI.
So what should I do how to restore IMEI?
XT1771 DS/MTK
EDIT: I do everything according to of this manual: https://androidmtk.com/use-maui-meta-tool
everything goes well, but the IMEI still doesn't come back.
