[Solved] The phone has no IMEI. How can I get it back? - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi.
After installing a mod my Samsung Galaxy S4 I9505 got "bricked"?
It wont read any sim-cards, and my IMEI is gone. When I type *#06# IMEI says zero
Screenshots from phone:
I have tried to restored yesterdays CWM backup. But still no IMEI.
After a bit searching I think it has someting to do with efs files.
I have notised that in my phnes local memorycard there is an folder called "efs_Backup". Inside the folder there are 5 files. For me it looks like 5 backups. Can this help me?
I think the 2 first files where made by TWRP recovery (used it befor i installes CWM), and the last 3 files made by CWM recovery.
The files:
How can I restore this backup files?
The phone is Currently running Omega Rom v3

It seems to be backups
I'm no expert so I would suggest to contact lyriquidperfection http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1308546

lyriquidperfection is working on it :good:

Tried TWRP. But could not find option to restore efs backups

I flashed stock I9505XXUAME2 NEE with Odin. But still no IMEI.
What now?
Hope I dont need to RMA

I am going to RMA my I9505 because of the "IMEI brick", So I need to get it 100% stock
My phone was not locked when I got it. But I think it had som sort of carrier firmware because it had a few "carrier-apps" installed from a Norwegian carrier named "Telenor"
Could anyone tell me where to get it?
Can I use Build Date: 02.05.2013 -> Region: TEN (Norway (Telenor)) PDA: I9505XXUAME2 Changelist: 526204 Android: 4.2.2 Download Link or Download Kernel
from here?
And how do I reset "Custom Binary" count?

It should be the right one for you (you can also find it from SamMobile.com if you have an account):
Model: GT-I9505
Country: Norway (Telenor)
Version: Android 4.2.2
Changelist: N/A
Build date: N/A
Product Code: TEN
PDA: I9505XXUAME2
CSC: I9505TENAMDB
MODEM: I9505XXUAME2
"Custom Binary" count will be reset when you flash. Phone will be back to total Stock.
Use Odin PC to flash it (there is a lot of XDA threads telling you how to do it)
BTW did you try to use KIES and make a firmware recovery?

Good news!
After flashing stock rom (telenor carrier) and reset custom binary my IMEI was back. Awsome!
I also noticed that "Factory mode" had been switched off, so I had to turn it on. Searched on xda how to do it. No problem!
My phone was back to normal again.
So now I am running Omega v3 again

[Q] HELP - settings force close and no wifi

Someone must know the answer to these 2 questions, I've been searching for days and keep getting little issues, keep resolving them but then run into new issues.
My last 2 problems (I hope) are as follows.
1)
No wifi - here's the details of my modems etc:
AP: I9505XXUFNA5
CP: I9505XXUEMJ5
CSC: I9505OXAFNA5
I'm running WanamLite 2.0 (4.4.2 )
2)
When i go to 'Settings >> More >> Security' it FC's and says Unfortunately, Settings has stopped.
How do I fix these issues??
Thanks
wife fix
You can fix the wifi issue by updating your phone modem to NA5. Unfortunately I'm also stuck on that settings problem. Still haven't found a solution for that yet.

Suggest you flash original stock ROM, root, install recovery and then wipe cache/dalvik /data/system - then flash what ever ROM you like and start again. Careful what stock you choose unless you don't mind/already have new boot loader.
Probably not what you wanted to hear but if you have been stuck with these issues for days it may be the easiest quickest way to resolve
No need to boot up stock ROM, you can simply go straight back into down load mode and flash cf auto root/recovery then boot into recovery.

haha thanks man, i actually am having a different issue now although i have by coincidence, flashed back to that same wanam rom that i am unable to get into the security settings with and still has the same error.
I have still got these issues and havent really been able to use my S4 for about a month which is so frustrating...

Hey OP / kasperwo - did this work?? I'm having the same issues. Repulsa helped me before (thanks again) but then I went and flashed a different rom and the same problem came back. i think there was an underlying issue that basically was "covered by a bandaid" and which reappeared after flashing a new rom (CM11 i think)
so after all this i downloaded the stock german 4.4.2 leak, wifi stopped working, lost root access.
Then was able to flash Philz Touch recovery, re rooted using that, then flashed a different rom (wanamLite) and still no wifi etc
Last night it was reading:
AP: I9505XXUFNA5
CP: I9505XXUFNA5
CSC:I9505XXUFNA5
Its all the same now except
CP: I9505XXUFNB8
Any help is much appreciated

Suggest you go to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2192025 and read and learn about modems, I suspect you may find the answers there.
What happens when you flash official 4.3 firmware?
You may be well to backup your SD card, then flash official firmware, before rooting go to stock recovery and wipe data from there. This will leave your phone brand new with only stock files on there, it will format EVERYTHING!
May be worth a go

Thanks for the tips, I actually did that last night with stock 4.4.2 firmware. Im going to try the 4.3 tonight as I suspect I may by some miracle, still have the old bootloader and is not tripped yet.
I just installed a foxhound rom - 3.6 and now wifi works (sound doesnt)

hmm - from what I have read on the thread about modems I sent you the link to (have you read it yet?) this is to do with having new modem on old bootloader - it breaks sound and/or wifi.
You need to get the right modem for your bootloader - 4.3 I think, but check the thread

Nope havent read the whole thread but very familiar with it. Is there any particular page I should look at? And how are we supposed to figure out what bootloader you have/which modem to flash? Thats what ive been trying to figure out this whole time

When you put your phone into download mode do you see red and yellow writing in the top left hand corner - if so you have new bout loader, if not old - that should help you work out which modem you need.
What happened when you flashed official 4.3 through Odin and wipe?

Thanks for the responses dude, I've done SO MUCH reading but it seems everyone else is fixing it but when I try their methods it just doesnt work for me...
I didnt end up flashing the 4.3 - it got to 98% downloaded and then failed so I have to restart the DL and try again

OK - so you have no red and yellow small writing when you boot up that says something along the lines of non seandroid kernel?
EDIT: so it seems you are on old bootloader - if you have no knox references - which means that if you have flashed xxufna1 with non HLOS modem that would break stuff - like I said before, I think you really need to flash official 4.3 (which will give you the right modems) - test and see if it all works and then go from there
When you want to update modem then just update gsm modem - I use this one XXUFNB8

After flashing that 4.3 XXUEMK9_I9505H3GEMJ2_H3G i noticed sound was working, then I flashed PhilzTouch recovery through Odin, flashed
GSM_Modem_XXUEMJ9_and_LTE_Modem_XXUBMH1.tar
After that I did a ROM wipe in PhilzTouch and flashed Omega v16, booted up and YES FINALLY I have wifi, sound and everything is working...
BUT now im back in square 1 really, i originally wanted to flash something different because the battery life on Omega v16 isnt that great on my phone for whatever reason...
But hey at least I can use it now.

Glad you are all sorted - if you are looking for good battery life and performance (the holy grail lol) maybe try my set up as in the links in my signature. I would recommend not flashing modem to start with as what you have works for you now. I can whole heatedly recommend slim + alucard, I get 5 hours screen on time over 24 hours use with fantastic performance oh, and a load of awesome features with slim too

ROMs unflashable, i9505 S4 XUBMF8

Hi there all,
I've been encountering a weird issue with the i9505 S4 XUBMF8. For whatever reason, I am currently unable to flash custom ROMs on it. The phone is KNOX-free and I have previously flashed custom ROMs on it before. I am able to root via CF Auto Root, install Triangle Away, but whenever a file is copied onto the phone's storage it never completes successfully (for example Broodplank's ROM will always be 10-15mb short). Even downloading the custom ROM directly onto the phone via stock Browser results on a Status 7 error.
Changing from CWM Recovery to Team Win doesn't help either, nor changing usb ports / computers and cables. (I've used both Generic and Samsung-branded ones.)
This is a phone which has previously managed to run custom ROMs, flashes stock Samsung ROMs and Radios via Download Mode fine, and installs "unknown" .apks fine as well.
Does anyone know what i'm doing wrong?
Summary: Phone currently running stock XUBMF8 (Firmware it came out of the box with), roots fine and installs custom Recoveries fine, flashes fine via Download mode. Just refuses to copy files properly (despite multiple formats / factory resets / flash stock firmware) and refuses to flash custom ROMs via custom Recoveries.

XUBMF8 is android 4.2.2 for branded phones:
- Spain (yoigo) or Poland (Play)
* Solution could be flash one stock rom for unbranded phone if is your case. Anyway if u conect ur phone to Kies and tell me ur CSC I can tell u what stock firmware is good for your unbranded phone

Hi there,
I've installed Kies and according to the "Firmware Information" section it says
Current firmware version: PDA:MF8 / PHONE:MF8 / CSC: MF8 (SIN)
Is that the right place i'm looking at? I've never used KIES before, this is my first,

It's unlocked, yes. This mobile was actually originally bought in Malaysia, unbranded and unlocked. I could not find any Malaysian XUBMF8, so I downloaded the SingTel one as an alternative whenever I needed to reset my phone to stock.

Hi there,
Apparently that doesn't work. I've tried resetting with stock, custom recoveries and through TouchWiz itself. It still gets the Status 7 error. Toggling "Verification Check" results in a failure, even though the MD5 checks out.
I really am at wits' end here...

Anybody?
I'm running out of ideas, and after extensive searching it seems i'm the only one with this problem.

how to carrier unlock GT-I9300 on 4.3 (easy 6 step)

I find whole forums and also on Google to unlock my galaxy s3 i9300 running on 4.3 but unfortunately there was no solution. All solutions are for 4.1.1 which are very old. Then I did it my self and of course for free. Here are the steps.
1. First root your device by chain fire auto root and insert a sim card.
2. Download twrp manager from play store, open twrp manager and install recovery.
3. Download attached apk file and install it.
4. Open perka's file stash, tap on s3 then modems and modems cwm.
5. Tap 4.3 and download modem_xxugna8.
6. After download go to previously downloaded twrp manager then select install > add zip > select downloaded modem from perka's file tash named folder and flash it. After boot up you should be unlocked.
Don't forget to hit Thanks.

Is your phone carrier locked? You must be on stock rom to unlock thie way.

it does NOT work. I tired to call and it says "Not registered with network".
When you boot it also asks for an unlock code.
I did everything as described.

At first on step 4 open parkas file stash tap kernel > kernel_stock> 4.1.2 then download lk6 kernel and flash via odin. After flash again open parka and tap modems> modems_cwm > 4.1.2> then download lk3 modem and flash it via recovery. After this your baseband should be shown as unknown on about phone. Then follow the whole process from 1st from above. Though you're on na8 you should flash na8 frok perka's file because its unlocked.
It doesn't work for me too ,when I tried to install kernel 4.1.2 but when I install it the phone doesn't load the room ( I had 4.3 )
any help here please?
Thanks

Install app called "phone Info" from google store, it will take you to correct firmware as per your country origin.

That shouldn't have failed, CSC mismatch is not a cause of flash failure. Can you provide more details?
Hm...
Hi guys,
I had an issue similar to this and have no recollection what I did to fix it. I don't even think that I fixed it, ever. Meaning - no stock ROM install for me for months and months now.
I just downloaded some AOSP/TW ROM and flashed. Are you able to get to the custom recovery? Please confirm - I've read somewhere that you can flash stock from custom recovery. I did try a few "PIT" files, with no help.
P.S. I remembered a bit now. I was finally able to flash it through Odin, but entered boot loop. So, no go!
My eyes are on this thread.
Good luck,
Sonny B.

Um sorry for the late reply. So what happens is i down the firmware from sammobile sure that it was for my model and build number but the csc was of switzerland different than mine next i flashed the rom from 3 different versions of odin starting from v.3.10 it started saying checking md5 file and it was taking too long and we had lost hope then suddenly it said md5 read succesfully and then brought up another dialouge saying setup connection and then cam up with a fail message usb debugging and all the process was done correctly i know this is a late reply but please reply back if you are there thanks

If it was a pass message on odin it shouldve worked go into recovery mode and do a factory reset from there it should work it happened with me too but remember dont leave the phone switched on as its stuck in boot loop cause when the powers dead ur phone wont charge any more it would keep thinking as if its not bieng charged if thats what u did i recommend making a factory cable search it on google and charge from that so the device knows its bieng charged once the wipe data is done reset and hopefully it would work if not i think u should flash another stock rom again i hope i helped

Hi guys ,
There're three possibilities about the country origin by comparing the data on sammobile.You can try to flash these three versions firmwares.one of them must be correct! Portugal PDA:N9005XXUDMJ7 CSC:N9005OPTDMJ4 SLOVENIA PDA:N9005XXUDMJ7 CSC:N9005OXXDMJ4 POLAND PDA:N9005XXUDMJ7 CSC:N9005PRTDMJ4.download link is also on sammobile.com!

Install Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app > Menu > 'Firmware Browser'. Download the firmware for your device and flash it via Odin.

(Problem) SW REV. CHECK FAIL. DEVICE: 2. Binary: 1.

Hello guys!
I have a big problem with my S7 edge (G935F)... The problem begins when I forget to turn off the OEM security and then I did an update to my Magisk root... When I tried to reboot my phone it doesn't pass of the first logo image, meaning that I broke the "security", so I read about that and then I flashed a firmware, an official UK (BTU I guess) firmware and then I flashed TWRP via Odin to restore a nandroid that I did when I bought my phone... It restored the EFS partition/folder and when my phone reboots I had no network signal, no IMEI... I just tried everything (I hope not) and I can't give back my IMEI and my network signal... When I try to patch the certificate to recover my IMEI via Odin in the download mode it says: SW REV. CHECK FAIL. DEVICE:2. Binary:1
I don't know if I explained it because my english is too bad, but I tried, I know that someone else have the same problem than I because I saw it. Do you find the solution? I'm out of my country and I need it so much :crying:
Regards!

Thank you for answer me.
I did it with three diferent stock firmwares and the problem persists (no network signal) I think that is something with the EFS folder, I restored a backup of it but is the same, I have not signal yet, but thank you!
Try clean formatting

Hey brother it happened with me too, unfortunately, I had to format my internal storage to fix this, you need to flash the latest nougat firmware via odin with csc including bl and modem and then start in recovery then format and start phone, remember you would need to put the google account which was previously there in the phone to unlock and complete setup process (very important here)

Thank you! Do you know which Firmware I need to flash? Because I flashed a lot of firmwares and it didn't work! You would help me a lot if you give me the name of the one you used.
Here I have some screenshots of what appears in IMEI and SIM.

Download the latest firmware from https://updato.com (it's fast and reliable) then start in download mode, run odin with administrative privileges, select BL AP Modem and CSC (dont use home since we wish to clean fornat), and in odin uncheck auto reboot option, after the ODIN shows 'pass', disconnect the cord from pc, now you have to be very quick here since our battery is not removable, in order to shut down s7 edge from odin mode, all you have to do is press, volume down, volume up, home and power and as soon as it goes off connect the cord, the battery will show up and now it will be in charging state, after that disconnect the cord, (the phone is now clean fornatted and in off stage) and now boot into recovery to wipe data and cache using default recovery, then reboot phone and then log into your existing google account.
I know its tricky and maybe there's an ez way around it but this worked for me so I'm sharing
SOLUTION, thank you all for your answers!

I tried it at first instance but I could not because my Bootloader was updated to the "U2" version, what I did after that was search the Combination file updated to the U2 bootloader, after a long search I found it.
In resume, The solution is what the OP of that thread says but if you have the same problem like me with the Updated bootloader you need this file instead of the files that are shown there:

You already fixed the problem I guess, you only need to flash the same firmware that your phone had before flashing the Combination file.
