A while ago I lost my IMEI. I was able to restore it to the developer IMEI 00049...
but could not get my orignal IMEI back. I tried everything I read on my search but since I had no backup of my /efs I had no success.
Now I found a interesting thread on samdroid forum. Somone claim he can repair your corrupt IMEI by sending you a new, correct nv_data.bin. You only have to send him a picture of you original IMEI (on the battery) and 10$.
It seems that he was already successful with repairing IMEI numbers on the SGS.
What do you guys think. Can you trust him? I mean he could use or sell your IMEI for his own purposes. Do you think this will eventually work?
Here is the samdroid thread:

Sorry for my bad english..
Based upon claims your IMEI is fake, either the original IMEI was cloned and subsequently discovered, or the phone is counterfeit. I'd see about getting your money back, because Samsung won't touch it, and discussing methods to change the IMEI is forbidden here.

Don't worry about the IMEI Cert. Mine says "N/A" yet the phone functions normally.
As to the IMEI itself, when you enter *#06# into the dialer, what is the result? Do you get a number, a number starting with 049, or a null response? If a number, does that match the number in the battery compartment?
Any other result than a number matching the number in the battery compartment requires the phone be serviced, which may not be cheap, assuming Samsung even touches the phone.
Bluetooth and WiFi may work again if you flash the firmware for your device through Odin. But this phone will never make calls until the IMEI issue is resolved, if it can be resolved.

IMEI result from *#06# it's not match with IMEI in the battery compartement..
I don't think to make IMEI match anymore,,i just wanna my BT and Wifi work again.
i was flash firmware hundred of time,,change modem too,,but nothing happen
disassembly and check hardware was too but nothing happen
anyone can help me?? please..
Send the device to Samsung for service. Especially if repeatedly flashing the firmware didn't fix the WiFi and Bluetooth. Be prepared to pay for the privilege.

Send it back to LG for repair. messing with the IMEI is illegal (short of backing up and restoring) and as such banned from the site.
Hello Everyone,
I have LG G2 802.
I was flashing different roms without backing up my IMEI. Last week i saw that my IMEI number has been changed (I think it changed after i flash .tot file).
I google and get to know that it is possible to bring my IMEI number back. I tried EFS Professional software but it did not work for me. It can change the value of ESN which is 00000000 but it can not change MEID & IMEI number. Please help me with this matter.
