Hi guys got s5 mini and imei null/null can anyone help please thanks

Yes, restore efs backup

Can you please tell me how to do it ad I don't have backup just got phone thanks

If yo do not have a backup than it is bad. You can try to flash a Stock Rom via odin.

Thanks for your reply you mean I put new firmware from odin?

Yes.

I tried that but still same I got firmware from sammobile and flashed via odin didn't work any other ways?

That's bad. Think you need to send your device to a repair shop.

I installed a I9000XXJW4(United Kingdom / Ireland) this from sammobile.com and all other firmwares also from this site.
Nice one kies! Never use it again, Odin or heimdall! You can try this kit to flash to a basic gingerbread and see if it rescues your imei as it is multi csc, unzip it and read the.txt, if you follow it you will end yup with rooted phone with custom recovery

all instructions included, yes it is for Odin, which is also included in the kit
I am also presuming you didn't have a back up of your efs folder?

Just follow the instructions and give it a try, but sounds like you may have lost it altogether, but if you have the original box the phone came in it will have the imei number on it, so go to Samsung service centre and they can fix it, tell them kies caused the problem, they may fix it for free, before you take it flash back to stock Rom with Odin though

I contacted the samsung service center in our country but they not able to solve the problem and suggest me to change the board that cost 60% to the new mobile price. i think they are not able to solve this problem is their any other way to solve this issue or any online service providers so i can paid them to solve this issue.

Thanks for this, Slappy. It didn't work for me, but I learned how to unpackage all that stuff and properly load it into Heimdall and into my phone. Which is still a mess, but at least I did learn something, hah.

What do you mean by "this is fake"?
When you restock via odin with the 3parted Stock ROM and 512 pit, repartition ticked, then your IMEI should be back again. Flashing "only" the rom.zip via CWM does not solve it most of the times.
btw: he meant the 004xxxx imei is a fake. This will be included automatically to the abot phone info when you lost your "real" imei.

Should i flash back to froyo/eclair with repartition ticked ?
mmh strange....did you used and original stock firmware from samsung?
You can also try it with slappys rescuepack, which i always use, when i have or want to restock. Has all you need in that zip. and also a todo or guide.
Perhaps ou give it a try?

still not working.my imei is still 00049..
Is there any way i can find my phone's original imei ?
Yes, if you pull your battery out, then there you will find a label sticked onto the cover. And this will show you your IMEI. But you cannot just type it in somewhere, thats not possible.
And i am wondering and its really strange, that after flashing a stockfirmware or that rescue pack you do not get your IMEI back ?
For me it worked every time....did you led phone boot through after first reflash and pass the setup wizard? Or did you just flashed something on top? Customsoftware or else?

Flashed Germany 4.3 Stuck on Samsung Screen

Hello Guys i flashed the Germany Version of 4.3 lte last night and in doing so i have Temporarily killed my Phone.
I have tried all the Recoveries processes via Kies and Odin and i am having no luck.
I think the reason why it won't flash is because the Germany 4.3 is a Newer Version than the Stock 4.1.2.
When i'm in Odin i get sboot.bin Fail when trying to Flash the Latest Stock rom. I am able to Flash the Germany 4.3 again and that flashes but then the Phone Stays on the Samsung Flash Screen.
Could someone please Help? I have been on with this for Hours now. I think what i need is a 4.3 Version of any rom in Odin .tar format so i can at least get the phone to boot up and then maybe i can get CWM Recovery on there and flash a Stock rom that way.
Thanks in Advance
You have to remove sboot.bin and tz.bin when downgrading. Be careful, downgrading will give you Knox warranty void 0x1!

THE kies frimware intilition doesnt work as you have 4.3 bootloader and knox blocks older boot loader
dont worry when 4.3 becomes available in your area it wont have to downgrade and ultimately this method will work but still things are looking pretty bad dor the intermediatory days.
PS is ther anyway to restore baseband imei without any backup

What if i download the Germany Version again and try flashing. I thought it would of worked? I am now in this situation surely the Country it comes from wouldn't make a difference? Could someone take the Germany 4.3 and make it a Working Version .tar file to flash with Odin3?

Hello Guys i have Fantastic News!!
I have no idea what i did different, However i have reflashed the German 4.3 on my GT-I9305 and this time to my Total Surprise it worked!!
I wish i could say what i did and it worked but i have absolutely no idea what was done differently.
Thanks all for your Help.
I will say i installed the drivers manually and just on the off chance i flashed it again with the file i downloaded last Night. I also flashed a recover trying to get it to load a recover so i could flash a zip file.

I am so feeling sucessful right now although i didnt got 4.3 but i was sucessful in getting my imei and baseband and network back.:good:
Sorry for the late response but when you get stuck on the Samsung boot screen all you have to do is boot into Recovery and do a Factory Reset and Wipe Cache.
Another thing to remember is to flash the modem for your country otherwise you might accidently disable some frequencies and enable other useless ones.

Which 4.3 update did you flash? I used the DBT German one.
Did you flash the right modem too? It worked for me and i was using a i9305T. All i did was flash the latest modem (from the brand of phone i have which is Telstra) and did a wipe data and wipe cache.

[Q] (Q)Unknown Baseband

hi my phone is a g900a and is Unknown Baseband, on previous versions of galaxy the solution is just to flash a modem, but that is not working with this one, tried to backup an restore efs, tried to wipe security by octopus box, tried with qpst, tried by odin, by getprop ro.baseband I can see the baseband, any detail you need just ask it, any suggestion? please help thanks
sorry to hi-jack your post, but what exactly does an octopus box do? Is it a JTAG adapter? I'd like to single step some of the boot loader code.
Were you able to find a fix for the unknown baseband?
