No IMEI, BASEBAND, (GUIDE)

So... Tonught I was happily having a game on draw something with the mrs.. Then noticed a no entry looking sign where my signal was.. Took the sim out wiped it put it back in.. Same again.. Thort strange.. Must of crashed or something..
Anyways..
Did a factory reset. ( settings - privacy - factory reset)
This didnt work either nor did hard reset using the code..
Anyways.. Looked all over the internet and most forums said basically.. Warranty.. Send it back..
As i baught it second hand wasnt sure of wether i could so kept looking....
I then found this.. And my god it was a godsend. I was convinced my phone was dead..

HEY GUYS , i've created an account here just to address this problem :
( only for SAMSUNG GALAXY SII )
Solution 100% solved and WOrking ( BY ME )
1st step , download any compatible android firmware available in your hands. ( if your phone isin't stuck in a boot loop , skip this step, or if u can use everything but GSM cellular network, or any other connection provided by your sim card provider )
2nd : root your mobile using this toolkit here's the link
www.ngopdul.com/en/androids/root-your-an...rooting-toolkit.html
3rd: step : search in the market for GSII_repair app ( needs root aka superuser access )
4rth step : repair your efs files using this app . ( it's obvious when u look at it )
5th step : search in the market for galaxy s unlock ( follow steps , easy ones )
6th step : ENJOY having your phone back from the dead
PS : this is addressed to all of the guys with the unsolved baseband issues ( unknown baseband)
no imei , imei sv wifi adddress , bluetooth address in a (unavailable) state , will 100 work , hope u enjoy , i blogged for the 1st time in my life to try to help out ppl :_) , try it and reply to me if it did work ( of course it's gonna work"
The 1st 2 steps got my phone working again..
Thanks goes to droid recruit for this!

Are you sure busybox is installed/updated?

As someone said make sure your busybox is installed correctly.
My phone was as stange as hell.. I set up a lock screen before it all happened.. For some reason after a factory reset.. my lock screen showed up. But for some reason o could draw any dots and it would unlock it..
Also i had no imei.. No baseband. No bluetooth.. Wifi would work. But anything tondo with my gsm sim care would not work..
When using GS11_repair.. Skip the first tab and goto the repair tab. Do everything in order on that page.. The unlock part i didnt do as my phones the unlockes debranded firmware so didnt need it. I only did the first 2 steps and magically everything just came right..
Hope this mini guide helps.

Apparently the problem is your nv_data file is corrupt. Which is in or around your efs folder which has all the information about your phone [imei baseband etc]
backing up and restoring your efs and deleting the old nv_data file fixes the problem for apparently 9/10 gs2's.
MAKE SURE YOU BACK UP YOUR EFS.. 2 FILES SHOULD BE BACKED UP IN THIS PROCEDURE. IF I WAS YOU.. UPLOAD THESE 2 VERY IMPORTANT FILES TO YOUR DROP BOX OR WHATEVER SO YOU ALWAYS HAVE THEM SHOULD YOU NEED THEM.

This only works in few cases and you should not use gs_repair because it creates the efs filesystem with the incorrect parameters.

No idea mate.. All i know is it worked for me.. Device is fine now

GSII_repair was what screwed my EFS up months ago. Beware!

Apparently theres other tools that do the same job. The info i posted was the only info i couls find when it happened to me so shared the info with anyone having the same issues.
I dont know what this software does. I didnt do all steps stated on GSII_Repair.. I backed up my efs then mounted it.. Didnt trust deleting anything and everthing was fine for me after a reboot. This was performed on GB stock 2.3.4rom
Actually did me a favour as was forced to root. Now running ICS so happy days lol

I know how to fix it in some cases also but still researching a full solution, corrupt IMEI is no problem tho.

Repair Samsung Galaxy S4 IMEI – Fix Galaxy S4 GT 19505 IMEI error

After repair my phone from bad boot, as it was stuck on the attached image i repair it through kies. but now it's showing IMEI problem. it's showing NULL

That's forced download mode. First thing you need to do is flash a stock rom (preferably for your carrier) with Odin. Then, if you're lucky, you may get your IMEI back. If you don't & you don't have an EFS backup, it's either a service centre or local mobile repair shop job.

That was only for samsung galaxy s4 I9500 not for I9505.

I had this problem when I first got my s4 I flashed a ROM everything went fine I booted up and imei was null, so what worked for me was booting back into recovery and wipe everything and restored my backup and all was good again!!

No one that is smart will share their IMEI code with an other person. I would highly recommend that nobody should share their /efs backup.

A bundle of thanks dear, for nice suggestions and advice,
i hope , everyone will listen to you.

I hope they do, because nobody should share their efs.
If you don't have backup then you should get acces to a samsung box: http://z3x-team.com/
If that doesn't work then you have damaged hardware.

Help with Titanium Backup

hi, I need some help in decrypt TB backup file. The backup is done on rooted Note II but I sold the Note II and bought the Note III. With the knox thing on Note III, I still have not rooted my phone. Bought it only for 2 months and prefer not ruin the warranty. I just want to restore some of the save game ( year of playing time). I cannot extract the .tar.gz file because I am using passphase. Anyone can help me by providing step I can decrypt and retrieve the data from .tar.gz file? I have the passphase so I just need to know the way to decrypt and extract it without an rooted phone. I don't have any other android phone (only iphone 4 and Note III) so using other phone is not possible. I have tried to contact TB support but no reply for 2 months. It is really help if someone can pointed out for me the right direction.
Thank you.

Unfortunately, there is nothing you can do without root.
Though you could maybe root your Note 3 without voiding warranty.
Dial *#1234# and check your software version. Then check out the URLDV thread.

What you did to get it bricked?.
Just try to flash same stock firmware version the phone came with. If you can't remember flash the one for your region.

[In Search Of] SGH-i337 EFS.tar file

Hello XDA Community,
I have severely messed up my EFS data on my i337 and did not create a backup which was absolutely retarded of me. My IMEI is now UNKNOWN and I cannot fix this with EFS Professional.
Anyways...I was wondering if anyone would be so kind and could make a backup of their i337 EFS.tar and send it to me here so I can flash with Odin and fix my EFS data on my phone.
I would greatly appreciate it!!!!
Thanks!
