[Q] [SOLVED] IMEI / EFS problem - Any suggestions?

[SOLVED]
Took it a phone shop, got charged £20 IMEI is back to factory default!
Really happy!
Hi there!
I quite stuck on what to do.
My mum had her i9000 for a while, with no problems on darkyrom 10.2.2.
Suddenly yesterday she was prompted for an "update for virgin mobile" she had no choice but to accept. Apparently it didn't do anything (ie update, reboot etc)
However what she realised is that she couldn't make calls etc.
I've got the phone with me now, and basically the IMEI number doesn't match up under *#06# - the number is a random number although not blank nor 0000 only.
Things I've tried:
-Flashed many stock roms (incl repart + PIT 4 file ones)
-Factory reset
-Flashed without SIM & EXT SD
-Tried deleting the EMPTY EFS folder
Any ideas?
I'm thinking that it needs to be sent back to samsung (even out of warranty)
EDIT:
I should note that the phone is completely factory unlocked - she is on Virgin Mobile network (SIM)
Cheers

hey man!
I've tried flashing froyo and I just put my sim in there and it still doesn't work.
I'm now wondering if it really is factory unlocked?
So I'm flashing a VOD firmware on it (as mum did have vodaphone in the past) - to see if that works, might even try "unlocking" as well.
Might as well give that a try to be honest.
Anu sent me to a dev on here - no reply from the dev yet.
Normally the "flash back to an old stock rom" method SHOULD work...but it isn't.
That's the odd thing really.
Reason I'm thinking it was locked is simple - because with SOME firmwares I flashed - I got this password screen (attached)
EDIT:
Nop - password error is something else:

Already tried that bro - didn't work
Going to try that thing listed in the video now
EDIT2:
Video guide didn't work either - also tried looking into the XDA thread.
Still no cluk - only option is via samsung.
It HAS an IMEI but a completely wrong one.
Long story short - I can use 3G and emergency calls, but cannot use texts/calls, which is a shame and very odd why it did it on its own - if it were flashed I would have understood...but nothing was touched.
This is truly a one in a kind.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1857054
just seen this chris might help might not if you have allready sorted it disregard

BIG UPDATE:
Put mum's sim into her i9000 again - and it came up with the same pop-up.
Now the odd thing - did the SAME thing when we put it into her NEW (on stock rom) NOTE 2.
This time I hit cancel.
What are VIRGIN MOBILE TRYING TO DO!?
They are going to get a call tomorrow from me.
Note 2: is still safe - and we hit cancel
S1: was already "updated" and thus IMEI is completely lost.

Weird turn of events - or fortunate to some extent:
Beforehand: Texts, calls and Mobile data wouldn't work properly.
I flashed a VOD firmware on it - and out of the blue - the phone now works as it should HOWEVER the IMEI number it has vs the one printed is still incorrect - I am thinking of buying/getting a VOD SIM card and putting it in there - might that fix it?
Anyone have any ideas?
So baffled as to how the phone is working without a proper IMEI number, but yet can send/receive texts, calls, data

[SOLVED]
Took it a phone shop, got charged £20 IMEI is back to factory default!
Really happy with the outcome.
Tried EVERYTHING known to me to get the IMEI back, but it didn't work.
Long story short - back up your EFS folder - always.

Phone does not connect to Network (started after being stuck at samsung logo)

Hi everyone,
I rooted my note and was using Jon ROM V3 for the last 3 months. Never had any malicious apps and my phone was working as usual.
Yesterday I took my phone and see that it is stuck at Samsung logo (an hour ago it was working fine). Tried reset and re-flashed ROM but no luck.
Later through download mode i flashed Official Indian Firmware(I live in India). Now I by passed the logo screen and the phone shows full signal bars but not able to connect to carrier network.
(tried all basic work out like removing battery/sim and re-inserting to phone and boot up)
I pressed power key and it did not show the power menu , it directly switched off mobile.
I rooted again with Philz kernel and flashed JON ROM. Still i see that my phone is not able to connect to any network. Also I observe that even here on this ROM when i press power key it directly turns off.
This is weird. I thought my IMEI was wiped off but im lucky to see that its still there.
I need your help. Im without my phone for the last 2 days now.
-
Jonathan

Note - I find that my IMEI number has been changed (to some generic IMEI 004999010640000) after i flashed the official firmware !!!! that's why it is not connecting to any network.
Someone please help me.

How did you flash the official firmware?
was it a tar file or a zip? I mean did you use odin?

It was a tar file The official Indian firmware I got from sammobile

either a glitch or you selected by accident clear efs.
anyways without efs backup hard to recover emei.
Do you get the simcard enter pinscreen on boot? If you dont then its not imei, if you do then you need someone like cvxcvx, search to fix it. That or Samsung

No I do not enter pin for simcard. I see my imei has been changed to 004999010640000. I tired fixing one problem and got onto another.
I guess there is no way other than sending my device to Samsung !
Anyways I appreciate your help. Thanks

You have a so called "developer IMEI". If you didn't safe your EFS then there is no real chance to restore it yourself.
There is a member (cxlcxl) who has hardware and can restore the original IMEI remotely.
But you still can use your device. Try to change the Sim Pin in the settings: you can use the same Pin for old and new (this is easier for me because sometimes I forget the new number).
After this the network connection should come back.
My workaround in my Pristine Custom Rom: one different jar-file that doesn't have the checks on startup from my old XXLSC dump. With this it works completely normal: Sim and Pin are always recognized from startup. I'm using this for many months now.

Assuming you're trying to GSM unlock, you need to be rooted and do that command in Android Terminal Emulator.
However, you can just use this and it will do it automatically.

Same issue
I have an unlocked Sprint HTC One M7, but it kept dropping the network. After some research, I was led to believe that if I changed the setting to WCDMA Preferred, I wouldn't have to keep selecting T-Mobile as my network. I dialed *#*#4636#*#* and changed the necessary setting, but it did not work. THEN I became curious and accidentally selected some kind of lock. I erased my entire OS and had to flash a Stock Rom (Rooted and Deodexed however) using OTG/USB. BUT THE PHONE IS STILL LOCKED :crying:. Someone who knows what they are doing please help me with this $500 Paperweight. I'm learning the hard way apparently. BTW, I don't care about the SIM unlocking issue anymore. I just need to be able to use the phone.

Kk. I've tried to do the fix even though it probably wouldn't affect anything, and it didn't work. It might've been because I was on 4.4.2, and the guide was probably made when Jelly Bean was out, so Sprint might've patched it. Anyways, let me know if you get it working and post your steps on how you did it if you followed it differently.

Phones IMEI changed without even touching it

I have this problem - my G800F changed it's IMEI to 350695200123951. When that happened I had not touched it (no root, no nothing) at evening I still was able to make calls, but later that night it showed 'not registered on network'. I have tried factory reset, reinstalling the firmware using Kies, then I used odin, tried to make EFS backup and restore, but so far I haven't had any success. So I thought that some of you brilliant minds could help me, maybe there is a way to change the IMEI in efs backup file? The only strange thing that happened to my phone couple of days before this happened is that some random number from Ukraine called me, but for obvious reasons I did not answer it nor did I call it back. So now I'm stuck using my fathers old HTC Wildfire S, I really hope that you could help me, because I want my phone back.

SOS
Sorry no answer from me but exactly the same thing with my S5 mini g800F last week (end Sept), with exactly the same false IMEI, and I think I have now tried everything. No luck. Not the Ukraine phone call though!
Cannot get into "engineermode" which may have been a way to fix this. I loaded a new firmware, still nothing. ANY help will be appreciated but please nothing that asks me to add a "secret code" as the phone does not respond to those. I'm not an expert but got desperate enough to try my hand at a terminal emulator, it did not work. Stopped short of using SDK as the download is huge. Firmware now loaded is android 4.4.2 build number KOT49H.G800FXXU1AOG2. Heeeeelp anybody! The vendor is of no use either, just mumbling "this is a very strange thing, where did you get the phone....." (bought from the guy asking!!)

Warranty service restored the original IMEI

Just couple of days ago got my phone back from warranty and they fixed it (thought they wouldn't since it was rooted), so I would suggest doing the same thing. At the warranty center I had to explain my problem for about 30 minutes, because they believed that phone couldn't change its IMEI. Also you could try other service centers, because some of them said that they could fix this problem for about 30-50 EUR. I believe the only thing that could help otherwise is something like the z3x box, but it would be more expensive as it costs 100+ USD.

If you download the original stock firmware you can flash the IMEI number back to the phone

:S
No solution has been under warranty , the pochaine time to think about backup your EMEI

Yes yes
there is a backup somewhere between all my external hard drives, memory sticks, cloud servers... And i can't find it, too long ago and too many passwords!! But, no use telling me now to make a "pochaine" backup. I will try the reflash to older version suggestion, and see whether that gives me access to the required features. If not, it is the mountain to climb, of getting to the samsung "support" to tinker with the phone. Glad you you are sorted sunciks. A person from xda did contact me, so lets see if that bears fruit.

A back up of your phone? I would suggest just making a new back up because it's less time consuming.

Nope it shouldn't. The IMEI number is installed with the firmware. So if you back it up and factory reset, it should fix it.

If factory reseting doesn't work, then I suggest flashing the firmware manually.

No, I mean downloading the firmware upgrade. It will download the new files but not install. This was long ago. Right now I get to tools to upgrade and initialise and get the message "does not support initializing" I give up!

No don't give up, just download the firmware and flash it with ODIN. If you need my to explain that, leave me an email and I'll send you the instructions.

What you propose was the second thing I did. The first was doing a factory reset with the older version of the firmware (what the phone came out with). Neither steps worked. The firmware I flashed was (Build number) KOT49H.G800FXXU1AOG2. Which btw Kies indicates as the latest version.

Edit: seem to get it to work by buying the pro version. Now every time I open the TomTom app it crashes...

You have to uninstall TomTom then re install, its crashing because it thinks your on the old serial number, just uninstall and then re install from play store.

sadly didn't work for me so far... I already generated all the radio codes "randomly" and applied the changes, then restarted and installed tomtom. Still the problem, not able to connect to internet. Will give it a try with a different tomtom version or reinstalling also the whole ROM.
Thank you anyway for you help! Any effort is much appreciated

1. Are you using the pro version?
2.You only need to make sure the serial number changes you don't need to change anything else.
3.When you change the serial and then reboot does the new 12 digit serial stick after reboot?

I am using the version Malaysk posted for download. Restarted the device and then entered in the app. First I clicked on "random" button only for imei, then apply and then restart. I uninstalled the tomtom go version I had and reinstalled again. No luck...
Uninstalled again, changed this time all by clicking on random to all and after restarting, installed tomtom again and still nothing... I did the same procedure 2-3 more times with no luck.
Will make a couple of photos tomorrow and post them hire, if that helps.

It seems the imei remain the same in this app after restarting, but the s/n of the device in the device info is still a very long number

It's not the imei number you need to change, and it seems you have to upgrade to pro version for the serial number to change after reboot. Upgrade to pro, change serial number, reboot then re install TomTom and it WILL work! This is what I had to do, like you, my serial wouldn't change until I upgraded to pro!

Sadly no Luck... How can I upgrade this module to "pro"? Didn't find this option

Another photo. With the mobile phone only allows me one photo at a time

Thanks, but isn't it the file that Malaysk posted in the 2nd message?

Hi all. I can confirm a few things.
1. The free version will not work, as the serial will reset when you reboot.
2. You need to activate it in xposed.
3. The pro version once installed and activated will change and keep the serial when restarting.
4. TomTom will then install properly.
Thank you for this awesome fix.
The ROM for me us now 100% anazing.

Nope he posted the free version, you can't post paid apps on here.

Tried it today and I can confirm this works!!!

Aargh. I must be doing something wrong.
I'm using the paid for app. I select a random 12 digit serial number. Apply changes and reboot but when i check about device it still shows the very long number.
Anyone with any suggestions as to where I'm going wrong? I'm on Malaysks latest rom.

Make sure you have it selected in the modules section of xposed installer
