If you messed up your phone there is one simple procedure to recover your imei.
It os working if you previously used an market account.
Go to https://www.google.com/dashboard/ , look for android devices, locate your phone and click More data stored about this device. You will find your IMEI over there.

Ok, and then do what with the IMEI?? People who have IMEI issues cannot reinject it in their ROMs with just the number??
Here's a two way of "recovering" your IMEI:
Remove backpanel of phone
BATTERY PULL!
Ta-DA!
off-course they can't...
The first rule in reflashing is : BACK UP YOUR S*IT. Including system files it you are to clumsy...
The second rule in reflashing is: back up your back up. On a removable media, meaning REMOVE IT AFTER YOU ARE DONE COPYING YOUR BACK Up.
And
The third rule of reflashing is: Don't do it if you are a moron and you can't keep up with a step by step wizard.

Well then why post this? Noone needs to see their IMEI unless they lost their efs partition. And if they lost their efs partition, seeing their IMEI won't HELP!
Its also on the box and under the battery >. but i would not describe the OP has how to recover .
jje
The simplest way to check the IMEI is to look under the battery or on the box the phone came with. My phone also has it's number on the warranty but knowing the number won't help you at all so rename the topic from "How to recover your IMEI in ONE step" to "How to check your IMEI if you want to complicate your life further" and be done with it.
This thread is a waste of bandwidth.
Or maybe you just forgot to write how to recompile /EFS folder?
Ok, so three people gave a better solution: LOOK UNDER BATTERY
He just wanted to post a smartass response to the recover your IMEI thread.
Your pointless thread is wasting my interwebz space.
Hi. So here's the thing:
I was trying to unlock my Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9505 and I kinda messed up. I chose the DM/DUN/RmNet over HSUSB option from the *#9090# where it said that all NV data will be erased, and I chose YES. Then after reboot, I didn't get any signal from my carrier. I've tried other SIMs, but nothing changed.
Then I found out that I needed an EFS backup or something like that, which unfortunately I didn't make.
I tried flashing the original stock rom (MDE), but nothing happened. I updated the rom to MDM, but then the baseband version became unknown and the IMEI number became NULL. So I flashed the MDE rom again and I got the IMEI and baseband version back. Then I tried to root my phone. Root was successful, so I tried to use EFS Professional. I backed up everything, and restored but nothing changed,
I know the phone reads the SIM card because I can see the SIM Toolkit change to the carrier's. The problem is I don't get any signal.
Can anyone please help me?
Did you ever get any info or help with this?

I did the same thing. I did make a NV Backup. Copied them back but that didn't change the no signal problem. I have tried odin back stock root and unrooted. Some how you have to get out of the DM/DUN/RmNet over HSUSB setting and back in DM/DUN over HSIC but I can't find a way. Can you get into the *#9090# without it being blanked out settings?
Did either of you ever manage to solve this? I have the same problem.
I bought a new phone for my girlfriend a s4 and copied the nv items from her new phone to my phone. I had service, changed esn spc and reflashed my phone. Everything is working great now

Great news! Any chance of getting a copy of the NV items so I can try this aswell?

I have to start out by saying that my phone is Sprint Samsung S4(SPH-L720). I’m not sure if this is going to help you. I came here for help. Hoping that I can help out because this site has helped me so much the last four year I have been here. And of course I’m not responsible in anyway for what you do to your device. Just posting what I did to fix my phone. Programs used Win7 64-bit (WIN XP should work), Odin3 v3.07, EFS_Professional_2.0.72, QPST 2.7 Build 422, HxD, DFS CDMA Tool Demo.
My old phone and new phone I bought did not have knox bootloader on them.
First thing I did to both was flash (Oldest Firmware) SPH-L720_MDC_Rooted_Restore.tar.md5 with Odin3 v3.07. Updated both SuperSU and BusyBox from PlayStore on both phones.
Then I used EFS_Professional_2.0.72 to Backup all NV Items from new phone that had cell service. Turned phone off and pulled battery. Then Formatted all NV Items on old phone and restored backup from new phone. Restarted and had cell bars in status bar. So I knew I was good to good with flashing my service back on the device.
Using QPST 2.7 Build 422, HxD, and DFS CDMA Tool Demo verison will work just fine to do what you need to do. Go to Device Manager and find what com port your device is on. Open QPST Configuration click “Add New Port…” the com port will not be visible but if you type “COMXX” in both port and port label it will be added to qpst configuration. Example is my port COM23 so I added COM23. Close window and open DFS connect com and send spc and pwd close DFS. Note: “You have to send SPC then Pwd with DFS before using any programs on QPST.” Open EFS Explorer send spc go to directory nvm\num copy items 0 85 1943 to desktop. Use HxD to zero out items. Then delete items from nvm\num directory on EFS Explorer. Then copy the zeroed out items back to phone. Reset phone and open DFS and restore original setting that came with the phone. You should be able to restore MEID, ESN, SPC, and IMEI with DFS.
I hope XDA Developers will understand that this is just restoring your phone back to original state. That is exactly what I did. Hope this helps you.

Thanks for sharing and i don't think it will work on my device i9505 but i do appreciate the work u have shared thumbs up.
I still think this may work. I want to attempt but I need a known good EFS pro backup from an i9505. Unfortunately it's not that easy to convince any of my friends to let them tinker with their phones. If somebody could send me one to try I would be hugely grateful.

Using an EFS backup on two phones simultaneously will result in blacklisting of both mobile devices.
So do not try to restore an EFS backup from an usable phone..

I did seem MadMediaPro did not encounter this. Also it is unlikely to occur if a SIM is never inserted in the phone. The other possibility is hex editing out the IMEI in the backup.
After spending days and nights with a fried EFS (IMEI null / null), which in no way can be restored - no receipt, no box, no more sticker under battery. I've read a lot of people got their motherboards replaced by service centers.
Where can I get these?
Service center is a no-go in my case, they said they can't help.
Edit: "GH82-07651A" is the official product number for one of the N9005 board types, maybe this one is for the 16GB version tho not sure

I take it as a new motherboard means you get a new IMEI?
If so, where can I get these?

EDIT: Okay.. searching for its spare part number is easier.. the thing is called "GH82-07651A"
EDIT2: GH82-07651A is the 16GB model I think

Yeah a new motherboard will contain a new IMEI. - How did you fry your EFS? - you know it can actually be saved with some ADB trickery (quite a few have done so)

I've been trying day and night to restore it by flashing hundreds of stock roms - of no avail.
Well the IMEI most likely got formatted away by odin by the previous seller - though if I could restore it I could file a proper lawsuit against the vendor, cause it's obviously stolen (no sticker etc).
Which "ADB trickery" method did you refer to? Cause every method I've found so far requires the IMEI to be reentered from a sticker / receipt or whatever

Ahh, I (assumed) thought you had the original IMEI somewhere, in regards to the ADB I mentioned, there is a thread by Marek on how to restore IMEI and Serial number - The EFS partition btw doesn't actually ever vanish. The Note 3 has the ability to rebuild the EFS by itself using the correct scripts and commands. So all hope isn't lost tbh :good:
EDIT: Have you tried the Fire script?

Actually I've given it another shot with the EFS Pro tool & Qualcomm NV Tools though somehow I can't get the QC tools to connect properly causing the tool to crash... I'd say it's because there is no IMEI (or null/null, where it should be), if I knew better.
fire's script didn't restore the missing IMEI ever tho ..guess I'm really fubar'd

apparently partition is just perfectly fine up to the contents of the /efs/imei (nv files missing). I've seen things like people recreating the imei from their meid?
But whenever I read oft it, it proven not to work in the later posts of the threads lol -_- (why I tried QC again)
EDIT 2: "I'd say it's because there is no IMEI (or null/null, where it should be), if I knew better."
It might have something to do with EFS Professional switching the USB settings from "MTP + ADB" to "DIAG + Modem + ADB" when starting up NV Tools. (Since I get "Mobile Network not available" after dialing *#7284#) ..it's probably connected to the "Baseband unknown" thing.. idk
Google SuperIMEI, I think it's your only hope here.
The first
Efs partition not contain imei number on qualcomm device!
It is stored on mmcblk0p 12 and mmcblk0p 13 if you try use the script from the beginning of my threat if it not work... Just find someone with proper box to repair it.

Still can't post in your thread lol
I did run through the process as described in Soft bricked [ SOLVED ] again. With the sole difference that I had to use a different CWM (6.0.4.7) from
[RECOVERY]CWM Based Recovery 6.0.4.7 for N900 N9005 N900T N900S because it wouldn't work with "n9005-cwm-recovery-6.0.4.4(1025)" - I've read it's a KK bootloader issue.
So I ran all the 23
Code:
dd if=/external_sd/mmcblk0xxx of=/dev/block/mmcblk0xxx
as
Code:
dd if=/storage/extSdCard/mmcblk0xxx of=/dev/block/mmcblk0xxx
and can't start the phone anymore at all. It bootloops right after the "Samsung GALAXY Note 3 SM-N9005" write. (doesn't go to the pulsating logo).
I doubt it's cause the CWM I've used has another mount point for the ext SD ;;
Sure an octopus or something might help, but it will be hard to find someone in Switzerland lol.
EDIT: After that, I'm flashing the latest stock KK it boots again, but the IMEI remains null/null, as well as Baseband unknown
From my post just push mmcblk0p11 but you need root and adb on PC and busy box on android.

Kay, on a clean stock ROM I put;
- CWM with recovery su,
- SuperSU-v1.99r3 app
- booted and put busybox
- set super su to perm root / default access [ grant ]
Then I adb to the device and found it suddenly refusing root access.
So I upped to file to sd card, use terminal emu and dd mmcblk0p11...
that's right so far?
rebooted and still

This guide is for those who have lost their IMEI, have corrupted EFS, or erased EFS partition. So, follow these under your own risk, it may or may not work, and if something happens or doesn't happen, then i am not to blame. So, once again i will not take credit for bricked phones or something along those lines, however i will take full credit if this works for you. I will also provide assistance to those who could not restore their EFS following this guide.
Before proceeding with this guide, backup what you have left. Use twrp to backup and in case something goes wrong and your problem escalates, you can restore using twrp backup.
Restore EFS
Change IMEI Number
Restore EFS
Do this if and only if you believe your EFS is corrupted, or you somehow erased it. If you are not sure about it, then simply follow the next guide to change you IMEI number. In most cases people loose their IMEI only and not the whole partition. Again, it may or may not work, so do this on your risk, and i am not to blame if anything bad happens, but if you do succeed, then don't forget to give me credit.
Note:
If your EFS is erased or corrupted, your IMEI and Baseband will be shown as unknown. In this case recover the EFS following this post, and then change the IMEI following the next post. If your IMEI is shown as 0, then you EFS is safe and most probably your IMEI is gone. In that case, no need to recover EFS, only change the IMEI number following my next post.
In TWRP, backup of kate wont show on kenzo and the backup up kenzo wont show on kate. In case no backup is shown even if you are using the right device, then try the dump flashing method or try changing the TWRP recovery.
Flashing this will only restore your EFS partition, but the IMEI will still be gone, so you will have to follow the next guide to change your IMEI.
Even after flashing a new EFS, you Mac and BT address will not recovery. The android system will assign a software generated address to both devices. Dont worry cause even without the EFS partition there will be a Mac and BT address assigned to your device and both the things will work normally.
If your Baseband is still unknown, even after flashing a new EFS, then try flashing latest radio file. It can be found in any firmware update package, either the official or the one from the strix.
1. Download the required files from the link given below.
EFS Backup[Kenzo] - Contact me if someone has backup of this.
EFS Backup[Kate] - Contact me if someone has backup of this.
2. Extract the Dump Backup files and flash them using the following commands.
Code:
fastboot flash modemst1 modemst1
fastboot flash modemst2 modemst2
3. Now reboot and voila you have you a new EFS partition at your disposal.
Change IMEI Number
Requirements:
Root
USB Debugging is turn on
Windows Driver Signature is turned off
ADB and Fastboot Binary Files
Latest MiFlash Installed for the latest drivers
1. Connect your device to pc and open the adb folder. Then open a command promt window.
Code:
>> [B]Shift + Right Click[/B] anywhere in the adb folder
>> Click on [B]Open Command Window Here[/B]
2. Type the following command to enable Diagnostics mode. Allow debugging if asked.
Code:
adb shell
su
setprop sys.usb.config diag,adb
4. Download the IMEI Changer from the link given below.
IMEI Changer [Credit: Archeolot]
5. Now, open the imei changer, and enter imei number in both the fields. And click on start. After a moment it will show as passed. If it fails make sure that you have followed the points i stated.
Note: Make sure that the driver in driver management under ports is listed as "Qualcom HS-USB Android DIAG 901D" and not as "Marshall London HS-USB Android DIAG 901D". If it is listed in any other name, then go to driver management and update driver. Select browse driver, then let me pick driver from a list. Then select "Qualcom HS-USB Android DIAG 901D" and then finish.
WOW.. Thanks mate..
It's gonna very Helpful for me & other ppl.. ??

Can't confirm. My EFS partition was so corrupted from trying other tutorials to restore my IMEI that I didn't even bother backing it up because I thought that it could have been changed already (tried writing to NVRAM with QPST). Since I don't have my original mac and bluetooth addresses written down anywhere (I haven't written them down myself and I don't think they are to be found anywhere on the box or on the phone) I think the only way to check it would be to compare my current addresses on the phone to the addresses contained in your EFS backup. Can you extract them so I can check if they match or not?

The mac address and bluetooth address in the efs are my own. I only changed the imei so that no one else can copy it, i didnt know anyway to change mac address. Besides the mac address doesnt matter that much, and i dont think that we will ever be on the same wifi network.
If you dont know then i can explain, that the mac address is required to maintain switches and broadcast in the router, so it technically does not matter.
You can change it later with some apps or use it like that if you wish, if i find any way to restore you mac i will post it too. In the mean time just post a snapshot of wifi mac and bluetooth address so that i can compare them with my own.
So, using this way, one can change the IMEI no. also?

Yes, just use the imei changer in the rar file to change your imei. But make sure to backup or atleast note down your imei before doing so.

Yup, they are not mine. Mine start with 64:cc and so on for both mac and bluetooth. They may be software generated or may be your own, technically i am not sure.
Edit: did you use imei changer to change imei no. Or are you using the default values. If you are using the default values, pls post them too. If you change them, then give your review, ie was it hard or easy, did you encointer any problem, stuff like that.

After flashing your EFS backup both IMEI values were set to "0". On the default values I don't think the phone would be able to register on any network with the sim inside, but I haven't tried that. Then I flashed my IMEI with the app you provided in the .rar. Set my IMEI same for both slots because I've got only one written down on the box so I think it is set how it should be out of the box. After that I've rebooted to EDL and flashed global developer rom. And it's all working, I'm able to make calls from both sim slots, however didn't try having 2 sims inside.
All in all the process is very easy, definitely the easiest out there. I haven't encountered any problems, however I think others may have a problem with drivers to get "Qualcom HS-USB Android DIAG 901D" working. Mine was working already because I tried this tutorial before. Thank you for this guide, and providing your backup

Guys. I messed up my phone by restoring a nandroid backup from a different one.
I was able to restore my IMEI using some qualcomm tools. My problem now is that fingerprint scanner won't work on any rom, even official.
Any idea what else I have messed Up? I don't think restoring this efs will fix my fingerprint scanner. Is fingerprint scanner info in a different partition?

Have you checked with miui7 stock rom. As far as i know there are three sensor modules for fingerprint, on of them is goodfix which is currently not supported by many roms. If your is goodfix then it will not be supported too. You can flash miui rom to check whether the fingerprint works or not...
If it doesnot work, then try to resotre your nandroid backup agaian. This tym simply untick efs.
before i asked many people for fix but no correct solution is got but ( thanks for devs support). now i experimented and solved imei and efs partition currupted by qcn method
NOTE: ( third party qualcomm imei changing softwares will not work i tried many but no use)
steps
1. first download tools and install
2. go to qpst.exe in c:/programfiles/qualcomm/bin/qpst
3. now connect your phone open port by dialing(*#*#76937#*#) in stock
4. check whether qualcomm diagnostic port is enabled or not in device manager
5. if it shown enabled and device info its connected through diag port in qpst
6. now click software download and take backup of ur partition and save as (.qcn) and click on start it will read ur partition and
xx.qcn file will created(xx is any name)
7. now open hex editor search your imei number with [08xa] x is your starting digit of imei example(087a) for second imei click
find next option
8. now open your imei convertor and palce your imei and click convert
9. replace that converted imei in the form of hexadcimal replace with old imei same for second imei
10. important thing is while saving the file only by (save as) which is important if any mistake is happen we cant recover after
restoring in efs partition.
11. after saving again go to qpst npw go to restore option now click on start .
thats it! you got imei and signal:laugh::laugh::laugh:
i struggled 3 days for this to find correct way recover my ime

From what I understand I guess you lost your phone.
You should have your EFS partition backup as it probably contains all the IMEI information from your phone. I can't imagine an EFS partition from other phone working into yours without duplicating an existing IMEI.

Did you backup the EFS partition before starting changing ROMs over and over?
If yes, try restoring it.
If not, nothing to do.

yes i fixed even without backup of efs already , also posted fix in guide forum
I don´t have the option
I have a Lecco Le x626 but when I write the code #*#76937#*# only appear one option "Sleep Sing On" no more what do I do for activate to option necessary for that thanks
maybe a stupid question, but if I do a full backup including nandroid via TWRP before flashing anything, will the imeis be included? thanks

Only if you check EFS partition to be made a backup, otherwise IMEI will not backup.

Sadly, the x626 (a.k.a Le S3) is a MediaTek Device, so no Qualcom Mode available.
