Hi Guys,
I have a Galaxy S4 GT-I9500 and have IMEI null / null. When I dial *#06# I receive that IMEI null message.
This started when I turn off airplane mode and since then I have no IMEI and no phone communication, Wifi works fine and also all apps.
Now I tried to repair it with GalaxSim but nothing, then I tried the GT-i9500 fix IMEI null but when installing the phone got stuck in boot process (SAMSUNG icon) so I had to reinstall custom firmware.
Also when I dial *#1234# I have only 2 out of 3 codes: AP: I9500UBUEMK1 and CSC: I9500UUBEMK1 (same as previous the rooting and every test)
I've heard that there's somethign related to efs. Can someone please help me? I also took it to technical support (not a Samsung service center in Ecuador) but they also couldn't help me.
Please give me a hand in order to have this fixed
Please help me! someone who can give me a light on this?

Download this and extract and flash it via odin by selecting phone. http://d-h.st/KvJ Make sure to turn off your phone Manually and check you baseband if it change to BMG9.

Nothing, I also don't have baseband information, it says Unknown.
How can I tell if it's hardware issue?

I dont promiss this will work but u can try coz u dont have nothing to lose:
- Download this FILE
- Open ODIN
- Extract the .RAR file, place the file in PDA [the phone has to be switched to Download Mode]
- Press START
- End! : -))
*EDIT: If u have error in ODIN, rename GT-i9500 fix_imei_null.tar.md5 to GT-i9500 fix_imei_null.tar and try again

Hi,
I did what you suggested me and once it finishes the installation the phone reboots and it gets stuck in the SAMSUNG icon. So It shows me first the phone information: Galaxy GT-I9500, and then the blue circle with samsung icon shows and it stops right there. It doesn't continue the booting process or reboots, it just stays there. If I turn off with the power button it automatically turns on and the only way to shut the phone down is to remove the battery.
This happened to me when I tried to do this last time and for solving I reinstalled stock ROM but it comes back to same state (no IMEI). Now I left the phone in this blocked state. What do you suggest me to do? Am I missing something? Did I run correctly the process?
--UPDATE--
I turned on the phone in the other mode (volume UP and home button) and then selected restore phone and it started and had to reconfigure again but same issue: IMEI null but different AP and CSC information when dialing *#1234#
AP: I9500XXUAMDE
CSC: I9500ODDAMDC
Is this a progress? What else can I do in order to get signal back?
Best Regards,
Santiago

Never came through such a problem but I read this link and it might help you. Dont know if it is correct I read it and just posted it here..... TRY IT ON UR OWN RISK I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING
Try root the phone, BACKUP your corrupt IMEI. BACKUP your NVDATA, Then full EFS12 rewrite, if IMEI is back then repair it by BOX, if not, then you have hardware issue.

Hi,
Thanks for the information. Now sorry for my ignorance, I'm noob in this. How do all that?
Backup IMEI, backup NVDATA, EFS12 rewrite, BOX repair?
Again sorry for asking this but I really don't know.
Best Regards
Any luck
were you able to solve the problem? if you did, please provide feedback as to how. I-m having the same issue.
This problem faced me alot of times
it is a modem solution.
go here and download a suitable modem . and if you have a backup file of your EFS partition that would be better

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.
my imei is null and my network wont work i want to fix this phone because i want to go to att and get a new phone and it isnt under warranty any idea what phone i should get too ...right now im about to unroot back to stock using odin and hopefully that will fix it but my buddy told me the efs files and folder are corrupted but they were working i was thinking it was a hardware problem because it has been working on and off for a few months a reboot would fix it and it would start working again now as of yesterday it stopped working no matter how many times i reboot please help i hope its something simple as flashing something through odin

@irfanbd94: You should have posted your comments to your thread instead of this one.
Take your phone in for service. Trying to transfer the IMEI of a defunct phone to your working phone is illegal, period. No discussion of how to do it is allowed.
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:
