if you would have backed up your efc then we could have flashed your imei via odin!!

On a lighter note --
Steal someone's efs backup, flash it, generate/get a valid IMEI from one of those sources who were doing good business during the "Chinese Phone" fiasco in India and force feed that IMEI

should i use the efs which is of only g3 one's or can i use any android one's???
Srinivas buddy - i would like you to note that i am no techno whiz and therefore my comments on this problem may also be taken with a pinch of salt. If i had to hazard a guess, i would surely try a efs backup from G3 rather than any other phone. The problem which will arise after you have flashed the efs & its succesfully working, is that there will be potential conflict of the IMEI in case both phones are active. Therefore, it is imperative to change the IMEI at once - and people do say that getting a valid IMEI is possible
To repeat myself - i am in no way responsible for any damage which may result from the above and hope that the DEVs have a better solution than my wild-ass theory

ok...but im a little bit confused...can u clearly explain me...sorry for that
What i mean is that when you "borrow" the efs backup from another phone and flash it to yours - then both the phones will have same IMEI since both carry the same efs information. This may cause problems when both the phones are active on the cellular network and i believe it may also be illegal. Therefore, it is important that you should get a new IMEI number as soon as possible.
Please remember that this is all guesswork and not recommended. However, if you dont care about possibly bricking your phone then atleast choose a efs backup from a phone which is exactly the same model as yours & running the same build / firmware + consult the DEVs before this

i don't know wheather it will work or not, but just try this,
copy and paste efs folder of some other galaxy 3 to system folder using root explorer and edit .imei file with text editor and type your imei which will be there in bill or it will be on box and save it.

Check the above link and get yourself a valid/genuine IMEI number instead of getting into trouble!
if everything else fails, flash the official eclair and update it to froyo via kies. then take it to a samsung centre and say you lost your imei during official update through kies. they ought to fix it

I think its pretty much worth a try, to be completely on the safe side u could just flash a firmware with bootloader, when Odin is at bootloader flashing pull the USB cable and the battery, your phone will be a brick then. Just go to service center and tell them that it didn't turn on after a firmware update with kiss.

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.

the only way is to use KDZ method
any solution I have this problem also, went back to stock kdz method and tot method nothing works. It also keeps rebooting every 20 seconds.
I tried a few different things for a few days and I couldn't fix it so I took it in and they ordered me another G2. My issue is that I wiped my phone clean and lost twrp. I had a backup efs. Good luck

Honestly, you'd need some one to send you their EFS backup (who's on the same carrier and model). Then you'd need to extract it. Then edit it to replace their data with yours.
But I don't think your going to find anyone willing to do that. As it's a HUGE risk to them. So I think your only bet it to to a warranty or repair 'call' with lg if not your carrier.

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!

I really dont want to go to a service center. All i really need is an EFS.tar that I can flash with odin so I can fix my IMEI
Device i9500 exynos version
location :india
I recently tried to downgrade my s4 on aurora s6 rom directly to kit kat.. people said --take an efs backup so--there was a folder named "efs_backup" (containing .tar.nz files) ( containing efs of different dates each file ~1kb !!!!!) in my phone storage.. so i thought that must be it.. so i just copied it for later
now.. i flashed the kit kat stock.. (II9500XXUFNB3_I9500ODDFNB3_I9500DDUFNA4_HOME.tar.MD5) lost my signal.. and started to panic .. played around with the basebands ... and also played around with my efs folder.. (as it showed up blank at that time)
since i couldnt get it to work.. restored cwm recovery.. i still had the same problem .. no signal
after restoring to lollipop and kitkat and again to lollipop now..
...in the end i am left with ---
phone shows signal (the range bars- are present)...
baseband shows up okay DDUBMF8 ..
imei is different than before its 004999010640000 now ( fake imei? new imei?)
network shows unknown
i can connect to wifi download stuff etc.. i just cant call
i do have screenshots of previous imei.. so i do have my old imei.. but it dosent match the new fake imei
im presently restored back to stock rooted 5.0.1 lollipop samsung firmware.. ( restored from philz recovery- i had an old 4gig recovery in times like this) alas.. the problem persists
my efs folder isnt empty if thats what u think::
it does have nv_data.bin.. idk why things arent working...
help!!!pls

If it's hardware failure then you have two options:
1. Swap motherboard
or
2. Replace EMMC chip on the motherboard en reflash your IMEI on it.
