I know there are plenty of threads out there asking to revive their dead phones , but trust me this one is different.
So i was messing with my phone on a not so fine day , to unlock more bands and to change my mac address. And I don't know where i messed up but now I am not getting any signals in my phone . and yeah I have my imei's intact , So i don't even know where the problem exists.
That's why I need your help.
How can you help ?
Well, if you have a Mi5 with unlocked BL it shouldn't be any difficult , Just flash the following recovery ,create and upload backup for me.
I know this is really going out of the way for ya , but you can save my day with your little effort.
Thanks in advance.

You need root privileges to read and write to the efs folder. You can try flashing the Odin files, but it will wipe your phone so back everything up.

I'm not going to do that, and I doubt most other people would be willing to give you their efs folder. I understand the predicament you're in and I'm sure you are well-intentioned, but this would give your phone the same IMEI as my phone. First off it is illegal to have two phones with the same IMEI, second you could potentially report the IMEI stolen and lock my phone or worse. While I don't think you'd be malicious it, I'm just not comfortable giving it to you.
This would be very similar to somebody giving you a copy of their license plate from their car because yours fell off. It's just bad idea.
Since Odin won't work (it should), I suggest calling Samsung support and tell them you received an OTA update via AT&T and your phone doesn't work. Unfortunately you're going to have to lie and tell them that you were in the United States on AT&T's network, but hopefully you can send it in for a warranty repair.
In the future (I'm assuming you bought the phone for full price and it isn't subsidized by your carrier), always buy the international version of a phone with an unlocked bootloader. If you're paying full price for a phone there is no reason not to buy a bootloader unlocked phone because you would have a lot more options if you run into problems. Sorry I can't help, but hopefully you are able to resolve your proble.

I understand the predicament you're in and I understand that you have software that will change the IMEI to your value, but even if you are able to do that, how are you going to get it on the phone? As I said before you need root privileges to read or write to the efs folder. So even if you are able to make the changes with the software you found you have no way of loading it to the phone so you're still in the same situation you are now, you just have my efs folder.
There should be a local Samsung representative in your country, try calling them, maybe you won't have to ship it to the US.

yes youre right i need root privileges to do it in the phone however i have learn how to créate a image file to flash it into the phone with ODIN i have found that this has been done in some older models like in the Galaxy note 2 or Galaxy s3 you can find that info just for you to make sure that im not lying to you. thats why im insisting on this cause i have found similar problems with those phones and the way to fix this is the one im trying to do. i understand that this may sound suspicious but im not trying to do anything wrong with your phone im just trying to fix mine i understand that is not your problem but maybe i can find a solution for other guys who will have this kind of problem.
i know is not your problem but please sir let me try and probably i can do something good and then i can share what i learn here
and here i have Samsung Guatemala yes youre right and i have took my phone to them and they were not able to fix it. because its not from the country and they cant do anything on this case so im stucked to this

So you're going to run into another problem then, the bootloader on this phone is locked so you will not be able to flash anything that isn't signed by Samsung. If we were able to flash things to the phone then we would be able to root and install custom recovery. You're pretty much screwed, you still don't have a way to get the efs on to your phone.
The ML2 Odin files should fix the issue you're having, but as you mentioned before it isn't. Did you flash the ML2 bootloaders? If you didn't then you can always downgrade to MF1 or MI2 and root the phone. I'm sorry I can't help you, but you really don't have any way of getting the modifying the efs folder on your phone without root.
Is it possible to changed imei
I got a problem with my phone (G800F) my imei has changed. I don't know how but it did..are there any solutions to fix this ? I don't know what to do now.. now it will not connect to network
Think you flashed a rom with another CSC as original, or? Also think you do not have a EFS backup...
I didn't make a backup.. because I did not changed the rom .. that is why I don't understand why the imei has changed... If I put the imei on the website imei.info it says Nokia 6310.. I think I must wait for people to create a program to fix this .. or are there already solutions for this??
hi, i have exactly the same problem. Did noting and suddenly my imei has changed.
Afther hours of researce i havent found a working solution . Is there a way to change the imei back to the original one?
-Samsung S5 mini / G800F
Things done after the problem appears
- rooted
- installed cm13 beta
It would be nice if somebody can help me

Mine too!
Yeah, thats exactly the samething happening to me! What the hell is this? You guys remember if you also got a myserious call from ukraine around that time?
So this is a bug?!?
Well, ok. I don´t mind. I dont see how i can fix this and nobody is willing to help me. I´ll just buy a new s7.
Hi All,
Did any one actually get a fix for this issue as I have exactly the same problem, my SM-G800F IMEI now also shows as - IMEI 350695200123951-01 which is for a blacklisted NOKIA 6310. If anyone can supply an absolute beginners guide for me as to how I can get my original Imei back that would be fantastic.
I am just a user of an android phone and have zilch experience of tinkering with them.
I have seen reference to things like Odin and flashing firmware and am quite happy to give it a go myself and learn
I will post this on a few other threads that list the same issue as I am desperate to get this fixed now as is a waste of a perfectly good phone !!
Cheers.
Hi friends, since today my phone is bricked.
I cant get into recovery/fastboot mode. No LED even when i connect it to charging.
My phone gets detected on MiFlash and i have successfully flashed the developer ROM but even then my Phone refuses to boot. What could be the problem ? i tried almost all the Guides on Internet. i dont know what happened. I had ResurrectionRemix 7.1.1. till yesterday working without any problem. Today all of a sudden i am facing this issue. i wanted to flash Brand Kernel but i just downloaded and didnt flash it. after that this horrible experience of HardBrick.
Anyone help me pls what can be done / i am on Windows 7 64bit and i tried on only one laptop. As i said earlier, i have no problem in flashing latest global developer ROM(Fastboot ROM) using MiFlash. but it doesnt reboot, no LED, no Recovery no Fastboot. i am quite irritated with this. such an issue i never had with any other Android phone(HTC Desire, Samsung galaxy SII, Xiaomi Mi2S), but now with Mi5...
Am i Unlucky ? have i turned my new Mi5 into a costly Paperweight ? i bought it on geekbuying during special Offer... just an info...
I am waiting for an helping hand... pls help me friends....
Try test point method, it's revived my hardbrick mi5.
Just google the tutorial. It's quite easy.
But it's void the warranty because of the broken seal
What is that ? I couldn't figure it and I couldn't find it on Google. Can u give a simple guide or a link to it pls ? Thanks in advance

Avoid stupid test point stuff. All you need to do is disconect the battery and reconnect it back again.

Look buddy I'm sorry this happened to you. Part of the reason I gave this cell away when I unbricked it was that the very first te it bricked it was bricked 120 days. Is all I can suggest is that you try not to panic an possibly delete system. It's similar to format data. Then try an make a clean start with the unbricking tool. My ex still uses it every day with zero probs an I think it may be an EU rom. These cells are natouriously difficult to customise. I hope you unbrick it soon. An I am sorry there are so many unsympathetic people on XDA who would rather say how ignorant or dumb you are than try an help. I refuse to be like that now. I am just a humble forklift driver. We cannot all be computer experts or write code or roms for cellphones.
Take your time an try an erase the cell in case something you are trying to hold onto is preventing unbricking?
I lost everything on my cell an only had it 2 days when it happened to me. You may lose your data. But erasing might help the unbrick tool work
Good luck. An breathe ok

Do you wanna have stock installed?
Then you could just flash that with mi flash.
All data on the phone will get lost though.
Do you need anything badly that's on your phone at the moment?
In case you rather wanna try out a custom ROM (which I would so much advise in this case where you need to reflash stuff anyway) the steps are different. So write back if you need hints how to get there.
thanks for the answer. ive alredy solved problem with instaling miui 11 whats been mainly reason what i was doing. i had some troubles with cmd
command to run twrp. if anyone get faced with this issue .. contact me
thank you again. Rom is awsome ???
