GT-I9305 - Croatian market, T-Mobile
hi,
got the phone for repair. under baseband version is unknown, IMEI is unknown, IMEISV is unknown, *#06# comes up with null/null.
i read all the guides i could find and tried everything. found the apps that could help me but cant seem to get the phone recognized with them (QPST, NV-items reader writer, Qualcomm NV Tools that comes with EFS pro)
drivers are ok, ports are recognized, everything is as it should be but in QPST under phone it says "no phone", NV-items reader writer says "Failed.. Phone does not answer" and Qualcomm NV Tools "Unable to send SPC to the phone!"
tried with RNDIS+DM+MODEM and DM+MODEM+ADB and EFS professionals auto switch while launching Qualcomm NV Tools from EFS professional.
does it matter which options are selected on the first page of "service mode"?
UART
modem
pda - selected
USB
modem
pda - selected
although i tried with modem selected also
phone was stock but couldnt get it to be recognized, then rooted (supersu, busy box)and the problem is the same.
i managed to get it connected to EFS professional, but with it i can only backup and restore already corrupted EFS.. cant modify the backup to enter/fix the IMEI.. and simply backup/restore as some have suggested doesnt fix the problem
flashing param doesnt help, flashing different stock doesnt help.. havent tried "Perseus Kernel" which seems to help some, as im sure it would "fix" the problem.. but i need the phone to be stock and in working condition.. also the friend who gave me the phone sad that this just "happened", he didnt do anything.. the IMEI just disappeared
tnx to everyone in advance
no one :/
have you followed instruction here step by step? http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...warning-guide-backup-restore-imei-nv-t1946915
this guide does not use EFS Pro. I can't really help. I never managed to brick my phone like that. If the phone won't be recognized it could be that the USB port is broken. Had happened to many S3's, I had to get mine fixed twice. Or are you able to get a connection to your PC?

Hi.
I have a problem.
Radio band lost in my captivate.
No sim card initialisation.
I put sim card in it... but nothing.
In settings radio shows unknown.
Att captivate.
Can you provide a few more details of your situation?
What rom are you using?
Who is your network provider?
What happened just before you lost your phone connection?
It sounds like you might have a messed up /efs folder, but we would need some additional information to be sure.
Rom was slim ics 4.0.4
I downloaded some programs from play market. And was playing with them.
When it lost i went back to stock gb 2.3
I have tried several sim cards... but all the same
Ok, that sounds like a bad /efs folder.
When you put in a SIM card and go to the settings-about phone-status page, do you see anything under IMEI?
Nothing.
Phone number, network, mobile network type, Imei and imei sv show unknown.
Also baseband version is unknown too
Then you have a messed up /efs folder. There is a post in the development section that tells you how to fix it - here.
Can someone post recovery image for cappy?? pls. found utility but dont have a valid image for restore. pls help anyone.

but mine is corrupted.
pls need valid efs backup image to restore mine....
Hello, I lost IMEI data from my i9305 :\
Trying to fix it whole day, but I give up now, im done.
I tried several guides (sammobile.com/forum/showthread.php?t=15196) but nothing helps.
Basicly biggest problem I face is that when I dial to *#7284# it shows "Network is not avilable" so nothing happens, or with another method with removing EFS folder, after backuping it at SDcard1 I have no .nv_data file to modify it and fix everything.
I use SentinelROM v6.0, I tried installing some modified modems, but it was retarded from me. I installed one from orginal firmware today meanwhile I was trying to fix IMEI :\
Can anyone help me?
@edit
I dont have backup. Imei and baseband - unknown ;(
I also would like to add that I know my imei (have it written down :3), but can I somehow rebuild efs based on it :3?
I feel so lucky, I flashed orginal firmware through odin and everything is fine now I just need to upload 4.4 again, and make backup for future!
That was my lesson :3 Thread can be closed.
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.

Click to collapse
If you see imei again, Make a backup using pc, there is a guide in development section. So, you can easily restore again.
Hi all,
I'm having a galaxy S GT-i9000 on which SIM card was not recognized anymore a few weeks ago, with no evident reason. It was like if nv_data.bin was corrupted.
I have tried with another SIM card but with no success.
I have tried to reinstall original ROM SFR Vodafone BUJVI but problem was the same.
I have installed Generic ROM I9000XXJVS_CL565837_REV03; Again same problem.
Today the situation is :
*#06# gives no IMEI at all
*#1234# says :
PDA : I9000XXJCVS
PHONE : unknown
CSC : I9000OXAJCVS
There is no nv-data.bin and no nv_data.md5 under /efs (I have no backup, I may have lost my backup during a re-partition).
The are so many threads on xda forum and so many cases that it's quite difficult for me to select the good ones in a way to repair my phone.
Can you give me advice ?
I still have the box of the phone where IMEI is written. Is it possible to download a "generic" nv_data.bin and write IMEI inside with HEXA editor or something like this ?
Do have I to download another ROM ?
Thank you very much
Thierry
I had faced similar issues earlier, and after some research I found that it is illegal to edit IMEI numbers - and thus not easy to do via software.
When installing any ROM, the system reads IMEI number from the underlying hardware and stores it in some files under /efs tree. When several factory resets didn't solve the problem, I tried flashing a new ROM (obviously wiping out system, cache, and dalvik cache before flashing).
That solved my problem, and I am using Marshmallow Android 6.0.1 for Galaxy S without any issues now!
I have a problem, i trying to use some boxes for repair imei to the original and i can't do...
Trying Octopus Box, and not works, stay on "Version SW" and no more, trying Z3x, and have a problem with nv data file size error...
Any idea pls? I have a imei generic of 0049 :s
