[Q] i9500 can change imei or not? - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i9500 can change imei or not? my i9500 imei is 00449xxxxxx,and no network,how can do it?

Your efs partition become corrupt during the flash, hence the error. Have you made the efs backup before?
If not - Samsung Service Center is your only option.

English, please, we don't speak Gibberish.
All kidding aside, go solve baseband and/or csc unknown, a reflash should help it. At least it did for me.

What is ANKWONE ???
Wrong IMEI restore backed up EFS folder .
Or take to a service centre if no backup .
But before that you could try reading the ten thousand previous no IMEI/EFS posts .

no IMEI, no Baseband i tray all post and nothing help me
You seem to have a corrupt efs folder, just restore a backup of you have one.
If you don't have a backup you will need a service at your local service centre. Run triangle away, flash stock, factory reset in recovery and remove any indications of root or custom firmware before hand.

Then your out of luck if you don't go to a service center.
Should always backup the EFS when flashing. I had this on my Galaxy S1 a few days ago and didn't have a backup. Going back to stock fixed it so try that if it doesn't work then goto a service center or put up with it.

If you did an ota update, I guess you're on stock rom.
So.. why don't you go to a service with the warranty..?

I'm pretty certain that EFS is specific to your phone only, seeing as your IMEI is unique.

Unfortunately, without your EFS backup there isn't much you can do other than send it back to Samsung to be sorted.
Did you buy the phone new? If so flash it all back to stock, take it back where you bought it and see if they can send it off for you? If not, i'm not sure what you can do

Agree ...
Have heard other solving this problem after flashing back to stock (use Odin PC).
If flashing does not work, then next (and only) step is to send it to a service center.

Flash any firmware for your phone. No need to pit file. And no need to multi package firmware, all included in one pda package.

Check Marek's thread about how to write your IMEI back onto the device. - You will only be able to write your Orginal IMEI back to it and it'll rebuild your EFS.

Changing or rewriting your IMEI is a criminal offense. I'd think carefully about it if I were you.

Changing it is depending on what you change it to or the reasoning for doing so. Rewriting your Original IMEI which you own is not. Especially if you have messed up the device flashing firmware etc. There's a very fine line between illegal and legal. Especially around the world.

Considering this is the international forum there is no way of knowing what the laws regarding that are in op's country. Rewriting your own imei shouldn't be an offense anyway. Obviously doing it to obscure theft is something else, in that case we agree.

Did you also have Baseband UNKNOWN along with the null/null imei? I haven't tried mirek's method, what do you suggest, i have the same problem.

Yes i have baseband UNKNOWN along with null/null IMEI , i restored my IMEI and baseband with this method from mirek's Thread :
adb shell
su
dd if=/external_sd/mmcblk0p1 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1
dd if=/external_sd/mmcblk0p2 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2
dd if=/external_sd/mmcblk0p3 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3
dd if=/external_sd/mmcblk0p4 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4
and on....
after that my device started to bootloop , i reflash stock firmware once more , and it worked , my IMEI is back , but my SN is random , Im using MIUI rom not sure that rom affected my SN ?
Is the phone usable ? Can you make calls and use 3g/4g ?
Also, did you use the Fix soft brick.rar files or just the PIT file from mirek ?

If you don't have a efs backup try to install original stock rom to recover efs backup if possible. You can do it by hand renaming .bak files in efs folder but back up everythin before that.
Also your modem may be damaged.
Good luck

Yes u do to change the imie back , your efs folder is damaged and unless u took a back up of it this method is ur best bet . i had your exact same problem and i fixed it by that method . flashing modem wont help cause ur modem is just fine it's your efs folder which contain the imie and serial number.
Modem as in the one that was on the working firmware .
See Modem/ Baseband threads in general section .
Post above is right but under certain circumstances your EFS is ok .

I dont think that would be a good idea cause the efs folder contain your unique IMIE and serial number so u cant restore the efs folder of another device . if you had null IMIE flashing modem might have fix it but it changed to 0049...
