Hi!
I was recently faced with a problem of being a fake IMEI (004999010640000). My unit was just connecting with just one operator and not accept other SIM.
I researched a lot, talked a lot with developers as Odia and HellcatDroid (thanks to them for answers and in readiness for your interest in helping me). But I could not use more than one operator, even though my phone to be SIM unlocked.
After many tests and many disappointments, I confess that I was almost SGS II by negotiating an Optimus 2X, tonight I had the idea simply "take a look" inside the folder /efs/imei locating the file with mps_code.dat using Root Explorer. Inside there (in my case) is a code that refers to the Operator which shall belong to Rom (in the case of stock roms).
I located the code ZVV that in my country (Brazil), refers to mobile operator Vivo. But as use the operator TIM, for me nothing. Until I have the "brilliant idea" to simply change the code to ZTM respect to operator TIM, I rebooted the phone, and voila ... regained access to my carrier ... \ 0 / \ 0 / \ 0 /
I'm just looking for a way to recover the 3G, but otherwise everything is working again.
Edit: My 3G is working now!!! I gotta my phone back!!!
Nice to see some good news. 3G all the way now

Well that would be a bad title since his IMEI is still the default IMEI of 004999010640000.
Also I think there is something strange about this member, because it seems he does not want his original IMEI back, go figure ...
What's the go with the default ime?
Is it for manufacturer testing purposes?
Why wouldn't carriers block it.

so basically OP is teaching people how to get phone back to work after changed IMEI illegally?

I'm not teaching anyone to use phone illegally. Just had a problem with my IMEI after installing a rom forum here. I have regained my IMEI for a friend who works at Samsung, and it led directly to my phone to the factory, where they managed to retrieve the IMEI.

The most reliable way to recover my IMEI was taking my phone directly into the Samsung. Other ways to do it are not legal and much less desirable, since it is a crime.

Flash the Stock Rom back on the device in normal case this should bring you back your original IMEI

Bull****.
Changing IMEI is illegal, however recovering IMEI is not. So if you were to change your IMEI from the factory one to one underneath the battery, there would be nothing illegal about this.

I don't know from where people was saying i`m using illegal methods to recovery IMEI number.
When i own SGS2 i just recovery my IMEI from a previous backup!
Before you accuse someone of committing an illegal act, try to understand the whole situation!!!
I'm saying that no matter which method you use to write IMEI, as long as you write the original IMEI back to the phone, then there is nothing illegal done.
Orignal S2 original IMEI
Hey , i think a genuine S2 comes with a genuine IMEI . Just flash it with the proper ROM or Stock ROM and it should be working fine .

As I said, not sure where or how but it changed it. I only realised it when I was selling it. This guy buying it checked the imei from the dialpad. And it didn't match the box or the back of the phone.
I installed BTU Lollipop for him before selling.
It was N910F European one.
Now I just got N910C Arab one.

Yes, I definitely will not be doing it. No worries. Disregard anything I said before, this is simply research for an emulator and android app I am developing.
Qualcomm devices are prone to getting the IMEI corrupted, my Qualcomm Note 3 kicked the bucket that way after some custom ROM experiments. Exynos variants are much less susceptible to this, so I grabbed a N910C this time 'round
For those curious: Qualcomm NV tools can save your device's IMEI and CERT - these absolutely _must_ be paired to access a mobile network. You can backup and restore IMEIs this way, note that installing another device's IMEI and CERT pair is highly illegal.
Even Samsung repair shops don't transfer your old IMEI when swapping motherboards (because doing so would be a violation of the GSM spec) - they give you a new sticker!

Well, by that logic, as long as you have the imei sticker, put it in your phone in place of your old sticker, and change to that number, you will be fine.
If only there was a tool to do this. Can't seem to find any. Oh well. : (

Hi,
Does anyone know where I can find the stock firmware for the SM-G530T1? I've looked and have not been able to find it.
Edit: It would be possible to get the firmware using the IMEI number in SmartSwitch. Unfortunately I and another are unable to access our IMEI number from the settings in the phone since our phones are bricked. We'll need someone else with the phone to take care of that. It would be tremendously appreciated!

Edit: Okay, I've got some good news and some bad news.
The good news is that I found my IMEI number using the method described by Eker. Also, the IMEI number is on the sticker behind the battery but it doesn't say it's the IMEI number, so now we know that. It's the number above the long bar code with the slashes in it.
The bad news is that SmartSwitch says the device is unsupported and when picking "Emergency Software Recovery and Initialization" from the "MORE" menu at the top, nothing appears in the first tab and in the second tab, entering the phone model (SM-G530T1) brings up a new box asking for a serial number. I entered the IMEI number (with and without the slashes) but it says the serial number entered is not corrected. Same thing using Samsung Kies 2 & 3.
I don't know what to do

Hi,
Edit your post and remove your IMEI and S/N. Just in case to protect your device from illegal tampering or any illegal things.
Where country did you live in? Could you check your phone box for CSC code? It looks like this: GT-I9500ZWAXSE or anything similar.

Your original CSC according to IMEI is XST

Enter the IMEI and it should return the original CSC, which will be the last three letters of the model number, e.g. O2U in I9505ZKAO2U.

Install this APP and it will give you all the info you need about your device.
@Joku1981: He was trying to discover the original CSC/country code the phone was sold under, which is why he needed to parse the IMEI. Phone Info wouldn't help in this instance because it reports the CSC/country code of the currently installed ROM.

In this case, he lost his IMEI because he has flashed other modem and needs the original CSC code. So, Phone Info will useless.

Follow the link of Strephon Alkhalikoi.
Download mode shows your original Country code, no matter what CSC you flash
Turn off your phone, then press Volume Down + Bixby Button + Power button once for 4 seconds.
A blue screen will appear saying that do not flash non original firmware, press Volume Up.
A screen will come up saying at the top "ODIN MODE".
In this screen, you have some information about your device, but the one that we are intrested is a red line "CARRIER_ID: XXX"
That ID is your CSC code, no matter what firmware you install it on. Mine is PAN - the original - even though i currently have DBT installed.
and just press Volume Down + Power key for 7 seconds to restart to normal mode.

Hi guys, this is a difficult one.
I have a buddy who really shouldnt be playing around with his phone. He has a samsung galaxy S8 on EE. He decided to root it because he wanted to recover some deleted files from it. Obviously its voided the warranty.
The trouble is a few weeks after he rooted it its now showing no service. Just to make matters difficult hes now played around trying to fix it. It is no longer rooted and it has the samsung official firmware on it. Theres no files on the internal storage to give clues to what he actually did and to make matters worse he has no idea what he actually did to root it. He seems very unclear on what he did or why he needed to root it.. Not a good start.
I have put a sim in it and it does ask what network the sim is on but says no service.
The trouble here is I am not sure where is best to start and I want to review my options before fiddling too much.
So far
I have flashed the stock firmware from Sam knows.
Also factory reset before and after.
Checked Knox status. Showing warranty void.
Currently not rooted and was not when I first got it
IMEI number is still present.
Tried multiple sim cards. 2 on EE and one on giffgaff
Phone storage is blank as if phone is new.
Phones owner mentioned twrp but bootloader is currently stock
Have you checked to see if the phone still has an imei number. He may have messed that up. If he has. Unless he's backed up his efs partition, ( think that's what it's called ) then he may have an expensive small tablet Instead of a phone...
Yes it still has an IMEI
download stock firmware from Sammobile and flash stock, then see, could also be problem with sim card...
I have tried flashing a sock ROM this morning. Also tried more than one sun card. Same result.
Maybe the phone has been locked by carrier ? some carriers do that if a customer is not paying subscribtion. Where did he get his s8 ?
Have you heard of that happening in the UK. As far as I was aware these days in the UK the phone is considered your property.
If it has been blocked like that could I get it unblocked?
Are you sure, the IMEI displayed is correct? Because it sounds like an IMEI brick, my old Galaxy S3 had the same issue.
It's IMEI became a generic one, that didn't match the original one on the box.
Ok I'll check with the owner. See if he still has the box. Is there anywhere else I could find the IMEI if he has thrown the box
You can try checking the bill of his S8. I bought my S8 on contract in a local retail store and got a bill, that included the IMEI.
EDIT: I just checked, the IMEI can also be found imprinted on the rear glass on the bottom.

You can check the status of an imei number online, there's a few websites that do it, it will tell you if it's been blacklisted or not.
I'm from the UK and I didn't pay my bill for 3 months once and they never blocked my phone, just deactivated my aim service until I eventually paid. So there's something dodgy going on tbh, how did this person purchase this phone?

I actually have no idea what else to suggest, if you've factory reset it, flashed firmware via odin and checked imei and all is okay then I'm unsure what else you can try. Usually issues with service is down to efs which leaves you win a corrupt imei but this is all okay for you. Can you ding out what software build was flashed? The build number.

I actually have no idea what else to suggest, if you've factory reset it, flashed firmware via odin and checked imei and all is okay then I'm unsure what else you can try. Usually issues with service is down to efs which leaves you win a corrupt imei but this is all okay for you. Can you ding out what software build was flashed? The build number.

Sadly not. Browser history has been cleared and files have been deleted. He said it had been running fine for about a month so not sure from memory which one he used. He knows he used TWRP to root it but thats about it. Does not sound like he really understands the process, just used google and skipped through without reading.

Hmm I mean no offense to your friend there, but the root process is so simple not sure how he managed messed it up tbh, but it is what it is. If you're able to contact him get him to go to settings-about phone-software information. In this section it will show what firmware build he has, there has to be more to this.

Its not so much a matter of whats on it now. Its more a matter of what was on it when it died.
Currently
Baseband version G950FXXU1AQ17
Build Number NRD90M.G950FXXU1AQ17
Anything else on there that might be useful
The one I have on it now is the one I flashed via ODIN

That's the latest firmware available, the only last thing I could suggest is to use Samsung smart switch software and do a firmware recovery. If after that it doesn't work then I am all out if ideas.
