hi, I have a problem with my smartphone, the phone is Italian, with wind, I upgraded to samroid and after the line of the sim is gone, I have tried many sim but to no avail. someone knows where to find the original firmware wind... ?
thank you
try rebooting.
Also check the imei of the phone by dialing *#06#, if it's all zeros then probably you flashed it wrong. I hope you have a backup, contact qbanin on Samdroid (read the thread in his signature first)
I checked the imei is normal, it's possible that I have the phone banned
I just recently updated to docs ROM and when i check my IMEI it displays null.
It seems the update or kernal update has resetted my IMEI.
I would like to know how can i set it back, because i know my imei number. Is there any command i can set it to the phone.
please help me on this regard.
it's solved. what i did is i flashed the CSC & Phone files back to DDJP6 version. So this helped me to make phone displaying the IMEI.
The issue was last ROM update made some problem so android/phone was unable to read the IMEI number correctly, thus showing null..
Now it's working perfectly..

can you please tell me what file did you use for csc
thanx
Need phone file to flash
I've got a Captivate i897 (flashed as an i896) that my brother bricked and we had it JTAG flashed. It now shows IMEI is null when you do a *#06# and when you do a *#1234# it shows PDA file and CSC file but PHONE shows as "unknown." When the phone boots up it creates invalid files in EFS due to not being able to read the IMEI. If I change the nv_data.bin from another phone and set permissions and ownership it can then get a signal and make calls but still shows IMEI as null. If I reboot then it goes back to not working. I need a PHONE file to flash in ODIN to fix it I think. If someone can tell me what PHONE file to flash and if I can flash just that FILE to fix the phone.

i had the same problem as you phone was unknown but i flashed a modem via cwm and everything is back to normal
Hi,
I Have a galaxy i9506 (orange france android 4.3),
Phone was unlocked now but I have no network on 2G , 3G finds network just fine.
Any way to fix this? Can I rewrite modem file and then try to unlock with *#0011# method?
If this is posible can someone direct me to a good modem file?
Thank you.
If i write modem is posible to unlock by nck code i supose. I realy need 2g network.
How can I bring the phone to it's original state (locked orange france) so I can the use a NCK code to unlock it?
Flash the france orange firmware from sammobile's firmware database. Instructions are on the same page as the download. I can't link, sorry.
I did that , It kept all my programs and settings intact , root was left intact too. I used odin 3.09 . so nothing happedend after flashing original firmware from sammobile.
Complete Refresh

If you have rooted than its very good, wipe everything from recovery and flash complete firmware from odin. Its impossible that root is there, because system,kernel and recovery partitions are overwritten. However su binary app will be there but will not work because data partition remains intact.
Now back to your original problem, i don't know how you unlocked your phone? I am afraid phone's efs is not corrupted, because if everything is good means imei and modem and when phone try to register on network of locked phone then it simply ask code. Check imei, modem and network status, if your phone is registered on network and showing carrier name?
Backup efs partition before playing more because if efs is corrupted than you are finished ! I9506 is qualcomm version so QPST tool can also help in modem related issue, press thanks if it helps
Indeed after reflash i lost root. But the phone is still unlocked and no 2g signal. How can i relock it? The phone was unlocked with direct unlock option from some unlock software... dunno witch one(I bought it already unlocked and rooted )
I searched some gsm forums and found something that is said to work for I9506 too:
SPT BOX forum :
4.4.2 kitkat net probleme after supper imei unlock
connect your N9005 to the Box using USB in ( dm+modem+adb ) mode by dialing *#0808# in Samsung's Dialer ..
1st - Choose N900w8 from the list then click Repair 3G Network this will Fix the 2G network
2 - choose N9005 again and press repair 3G network again this will Fix the 3G network with 2G working too
Unfortunately I don't think anyone in my city has SPT BOX ( .... i will search some gsm services
Identify cause

I told u some points, please follow it and find out what is the root cause of your problem then try to ask or fix. You can use qualcomm nv tools and qpst for imei but first find out what is the cause then ask for help.
EFS professional also has nv tools and other fixes, use this download link

Hi , thank U for the info. I must now learn how to use the program to rebuild NV of the phone ( atleast i think that i must do) . never had to do such fixes of any phone. The i9506 was unlocked by direct unlock in z3x box. After that no more 2g connectivity , the phone finds network if I manualy search but cannot connect to it. Sais emergency calls only.
Anyway I think your sugestion will fix my problem .... just have to learn how to use program
Thanks again.
I rooted phone , backed up all that I could find to backup in EFS Professional 2.1.73 and after that I tried option "repair NV Data file permisions" "Option to repair NV data file ownership to fix 'Unknown baseband' and 'No signal' issues." .... then big dissapointment .... popup "This option cannot be used with your device! " . Damn I was realy hopeing that the option will repair my 2G signal problem. Seems that I must find another solution .... maybe some other sugestions?
Thank you.
When u run efs professional u have 4 options, try 2nd option 'Qualcomm nv tools' . Check information on diagnostic tab and if u see any thing wrong try secure ops tab for ESN / MEID / IMEI repair, also first check that your phone is showing correct IMEI by *#06# which is on behind the battery.

The phone is showing corect imei. I browsed through tabs , backed-up nvdata(took more than 30 min).I will look at diagnostics tab to see if anything shows "RED" .
Thank U.
I made some screenshots with the info shown in NV TOOLS . I don't know what to look for to see is not ok.
Plz post snaps of lockscreen, imei check window (*#06#) and phone about device. also tell me which firmware u have?
Screenshots , Firmware is Official 4.3 Orange France from Sammobile
From snaps, it seems your phone is registered on network and modem is working fine that's why showing correct IMEI. Normally when your phone is not registered on network, shows emergency call and null IMEI then you are unable to call or sms but i can't understand your case. If you are not able to call or sms then try changing different carrier sim or upgarde to latest kitkat 4.4.2, follow this link

P.S. At last post snap of complete status window(in two snaps) from about device.

At last i can say your phone efs is corrupt, try manually writing IMEI again from Qualcomm nv tools and flashing kitkat 4.4.2. If don't work then samsung tool (Z3X) or other hardware box can fix efs like u unlock from Z3X box.
This is free tool which offer imei repair, ChimeraTool

Hello folks,
I've read A LOT of threads here at the forum about repairing/recovering IMEI, but none specifically for the S3 Neo (GT-i9301i). Here is what happened with my cell: I bought it in the UK, brought it back to Brazil, and noticed that it was network locked (I did the region unlock while in Europe). Tried to unlock it by myself, rooted the device with ChainFire, but later, in order to send it to be unlocked in a local store, flashed the original stock ROM. The phone is unlocked now, but without the IMEI! When I hit the *#06#, it shows only the / ** numbers, the whole 15 digit number is now gone.
I have a backup from my efs folder that I did before sending the phone to the store, I installed GalaxS Unlock and did the backup. But when I access the backup, it doesn't have the .nv_data.bin and .nv_data.bin.md5 that every tutorial asks me to use it in the process. I tried the method of deleting my efs folder and restarting the phone, but that didn't worked either.
Is there something I can do to repair my phone?
Thanks
today i flashed the xxx rom and flashed the ap file via odin all went well and device was working but i suddenly realized my network was gone.under phone info the baseband was unavailable and my imei was gone.after alot of searching i found a site where a efs+nvdata.tar file was uploaded.i flashed that file and i got my imei and baseband back but mobile networks is still unavailable. ......when ever i boot up the phone it shows a unlock sim message........i tried kies,efs professional but nothing works.i tried to restore the efs.tar.gz file but it isnt working.i noted that my imei after flashing the file matched my phone,but the s/n number doesnt match but i dont think it matters as long as the imei is ok.PLEASE HELP ME,if a efs backup will fix it i beg anyone to send me a backup or tell me how to fix it..please:crying::crying:
