Afternoon All,
I am lucky enough to have two handsets i9000 international versions locked to Bouygues Telecom, France.
When I received the first handset I quickly upgraded it to JPK without reading the forums and therefore I was unable to unlock it. Also I deleted all the contents from the efs folder thinking that it would regenerate the contents on reboot (stupid me).
Now I have received my second handset I have kept it on stock 2.1 and have successfully unlocked it using the sgs unlock apk available on the market.
Is there anyway i can use the intact efs folder on my second handset and transfer it to my first handset ?? If this is possible does this mean that both handsets would have the same imei ?? is it possible then to change the imei to the imei that it came with when i first got it ?
I was attempting to flash a stock recovery today, but after flashing I had no service. I went and looked at my IMEI number and, sure enough, it was corrupted. I was stupid and didnt take a backup beforehand.
So right now I'm looking at two options. One, find a way to restore my IMEI. I do have the number, thanks to Motorola Customer Service, but I have no way to change the phone's number to it. And from what I've read, it's illegal to change it anyway.
My second option is to get it replaced/repaired through Motorola. It is a Pure Edition, bootloader unlocked and rooted. Customer service has told me that the Pure Edition remains under warranty when unlocked, but not when rooted. Is there any hope for me to get them to replace it? I cant get texts or calls right now so I'm in a pretty bad position and need this fixed.
Any help/advice is much appreciated.
Thanks
How you flashed stock recovery? What exact command was used? What does it mean "IMEI number corrupted" Is it 0?
It is illegal to change the IMEI on the phone, but not to upload the correct original IMEI to the phone. So if you do have the IMEI then you can flash it back. There are tools to help you do that. I am not going to link them, because most people don't use them for legit purposes, but search Google and you will find what you are looking for. Sounds like if you are able to flash it back you would be up and running in no time.
I would say it is not absolutely necessary to flash his IMEI again. I have the case on Moto X 2013 when my IMEI was 0. It was due to wrong radio image flashed (i.e. I flashed NON-HLOS.bin and fsg.mbn from European Moto X to non-European Moto X). And I have restored IMEI just flashing right radio image. So no illegal operations were made in that case.
Probably he made a mistake flashing stock recovery and flashed it to radio instead of recovery. In this case he need just reflash radio and IMEI will be restored.
Does anyone have the right radio to flash for the pure edition? I need it also
please help me

Hello,
I recently took my phone to service centre and on checking the IMEI number with their website, they say its not found. I was wondering if any custom firmware can replace it?
If it did, any place it can show me the original IMEI and restore it?
model written on back fine print: xt1056
firmware when i got this phone from ebay: xt1053 retail LP
Bootloader version: 30.BE
i checked imei by dialing *#06# and it showed 0 as IMEI number. i inserted sim and it worked, i even changed sims from different networks and they worked.
everything was ok, but i wanted to fix this imei thing, and downloaded qualcomm nv tools and then read items, and it showed ESN and MEID items correctly but IMEI was 000000000000000000.
i put IMEI similar to MEID with adding 9 at the end for make it 15 digits. wrote it successfully into nv items. rebooted phone and whoaaaa.. IMEI got changed.
later on i flashed xt1056 lollipop stock rom, IMEI was removed, dont know how. and since then no sim is working, no signal, nothing. checked with nv tools, tried to read IMEI and it is shown as 00000000000000.
i cant change them now, it gives read only error even when it accepts SPC code and unlocks phone successfully.
please help, my phone is useless right now.
strange is this phone allows any rom to be flashed on it regardless of carrier specific.
Hello all,
I purchased a bootlooped HTC One M7 off eBay and was able to restore it, however, when I attempted to make a call I discovered that the IMEI had been wiped clean. When using the *#06# code into the dialer, the IMEI came up as blank. Eventually, I rooted the phone and was able to restore the IMEI by using the Xposed Installer method and the original IMEI came up when using the *#06# code. Unfortunately, when I checked a few days later the IMEI was missing once again.
Is there a way to permanently change/restore the IMEI or am I S.O.L.?
