Here you'll learn how to flash anything you want and links to threads containing flashtool and basebands. But why would you flash older baseband, which doesn't support custom ROMs, is beyond me.

yaa even they also............!!

imei cannot be restored by reinstalling stock firmwares... or any other firmwares for that matter.. u should have made a backup of your efs partition before doing any thing to your phone
there is a method to create a new efs partition with your original imei
search the forum u'll find it

Oh yeah... Sorry for the wrong information man... I got a little confused..... I think you'll find a fix in this thread - forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=888193

hmmm...... this isn't a 100% working method...... but if you want you can try this.... it's just an idea .... but can work-
Following steps can help you:-
Flash Stock eclair i5801DDJ6 (It's under Asia firmwares) from Sam firmware. [This is the original firmware that our phone came with] here's the link - http://www.samfirmware.com/WEBPROTECT-i5800.htm - you'll have to signup to download the firmware.....
the password for the zip file is Password is samsung-firmwares.com
if the imei still hasn't restored then..... disable usb debugging on the phone(if it is enabled that is) and update to froyo through kies.....
If still the problem persists....just take your phone to the samsung service station with the bill and all...... cook up a story and make an innocent face and they'll repair your phone for free! .........
btw if your wondering updating through kies unroots the phone completely so your warranty will still stand as the service centre people most probably won't be able to detect that you rooted or anything!!

[Q]Kernel needed to restore Gingerbread nandroid backup

I have a nandroid backup of my Stock firmware which was 2.3.6
But two days ago, I flashed to Froyo using RSDLite so I could install MIUI
But even the pikachu edition didn't fix the battery bug so I decided to revert back to my nandroid backup but the phone wouldn't boot (which im guessing is because the phone was then on froyo kernel)
So I downloaded a gingerbread SBF from one of the threads here and flashed using RSDlite, and which turned out to be 2.3.4. This is giving me a lot of bugs(most of the apps don't open after few hours of usage). I still have my nandroid backup of my stock 2.3.6 ROM
So my question is:
Can I change my kernel to 2.3.6's version and restore my original nandroid backup?? If so can anyone please link me to the proper kernel
Thanks!

Try the Kernel from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494231

Thanks, but right now im on 2.3.4. So should i flash this kernel?

you can backup the rom via cwm and copy the file something that is names as 2-1-2012-2- something in the clockworkmod folder on your sdcard and paste in in the same folder of your sisters phones sd card in the clockworkmod folder, and vice versa...give it a try it wont brick

Yeah it works.
I've done that before because I lost my own backup of stock rom when my pc went bonkers. Apparently you need a backup of the backup. Lol.

I tried a few methods but could you tell me how to install CWM permananently on the galaxy y? I have the temporary one. As in I have to flash it repeatedly everytime I use it!
Help me out
Also, I tried backing it up using the temporary CWM it won't install. Quite a long back up goes on for a while and in the end it says "can't mount /data!". Tell me how do I back it up because I'm dying to put in a new rom
Lastly, what roms are there for this phone? Good ones?

There's no permanent cwm recovery for SGY yet, ya i know that's sad!
Good ROMS? Try creeds 2.0 and Hybrid

but doesn't creed's have a lot of bugs? I have seen a lot of threads on XDA saying so.
What about the error while backing up my system? it says "can't mount /data!" in the end and that's it! though there is a backup file generated in my sd card

creeds 2.1 has bugs, anyways, try Hybrid! i didnt try it but was following the discussions and its not buggy!
I didnt have any problem with nandroid backup, may be problem with your cwm! try another cwm and ensure that you have atleast 500 Mb (worst case) free space on SD card

cwm does not have support for sgy thats why we use a moded cmw.
Really your stock nandroid backup failed to mount? Strange coz doky told me it will restore to its previous state.
Best for now based on what i have red is terma roms pda updated to hybrid rom combind 2 roms
But for me ill go hybrid rom its fast, light and stable

1, yes
2, don't understand
3, don't think so, its simple. Maybe... One time I got issue, when the backup was unsuccessful because of lack of free space, but I didn't see it, just realized the problem when wanted to restore.
4, yes, if the backup was made in unrooted state.

Oh By the way
in question number 2 i used cwk moded by skin-1980 (its up to you if what cwk you will use, Just look here in the forums and test the best and suits your needs)
Hope this help you ^^

MOTO E IMEI backup

IMEI is the machine serial number.
It may happen that due to various rom exchanges, wipes and resets, the IMEI will be lost, if this happens and there is no backup, the only solution is to send the device to assistance for repair and pay a new motherboard.
Having the backup can save some money.
Prerequisite:
Root
Stock Rom
In sdcard create a directory named IMEI
In the ADB mode with root:
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/pds of=/storage/sdcard1/IMEI/pds.img
Keep pds.img file in a secure place.
to restore
In the ADB mode with root:
dd if=/storage/sdcard1/IMEI/pds.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/pds
reboot.
