[Q] IMEI Failure

Hi Guys... semi noob here.
I have a gt-i9300 that I have been messing around with, and I seem to have lost the IMEI number, im getting004999010640000 / 06 when I dial *#06#. I have the actual IMEI behind the battery, but no idea how to put it back in
I am currently stock with root (cf auto)
Things ive tried:
EFS Pro - Just kept putting it in factory mode
NV-Items Read/Write v1.0 - Failed... phone does not answer
something I found on google using adb shell - did nothing at all
flashed many stock rom's / Modem's / RIL
TWRM Recovery wiped EVERYTHING to the point where twrm warned me about rebooting due to no OS installed
I am currently reverted to stock:
Build: JZO54K.I82XXELLA
Baseband: I9300NELK2
Kernel: 3.0.31-742798
Android: 4.1.2
Root: CF-Autoroot flashed with Odin 3.07
Branded and Simlocked with H3G (Three United Kingdom)
This is a UK model.
I really need some help here as I would like to get this up and running for carrier unlock (code requested from Three) so I can use my O2 sim in it)
PLEASE can anyone tell me how to get my IMEI back without a "box" (I don't have £130+ to spend!!!!)
Thanks in advance

If my memory serves me right you have to flash a stock firmware and you shoukd get your ime back

Did you flashed any 4.3 or 4.1.2 with new EFS partition format.. if so find that rom and install modem corresponding to that rom.
Also - do you have previously EFS backup?

Hiya.
I did flash unbranded stock 4.3 and I have no efs backup

I'm not sure but i think that you need to go back on 4.3 - i hope that you are made update to v2 of EFS during that previous flashing.

I believe I did go to EFS v2 at that point. Will flashing the 4.3 rom put my IMEI right again?

flashing 4.3 or a modem from emg4 onwards 4.3 changed the efs partition to efs v2 firwares with modems prior to emg4 cannot read this hence duff imei when you flash back an older stock rom.

Just back to 4.3 and all will be fine. If u didnt make backup of EFS v1 you cant back to 4.1.2

well, just flashed back to 4.3 stock (no root, full details below) and still false IMEI. I am assuming that until I get my IMEI back, the I9300 won't connect to the network at all?
Device details:
Android: 4.3
Build: JSS15J.I9300XXUGMJ9
Baseband: I9300XXUGMJ9
Kernel: 3.0.31-1902166
IMEI: 004999010640000
IMEI SV: 01
Flashed to 4.3 stock, then boot into recovery, factory reset and wiped cache
any other ideas?

You have a serious problem then. If my emergency zip didn't work and you don't have /efs backup then you're screwed.

Is there no way to manually enter your IMEI like e=with the US versions? (NV reader writer etc)

This violates xda's rules. Even if there is a way, I'm not going to tell you how to do so. It's illegal.

Galaxy note 3 sm-n900 Unkonwn baseband

hello Guys, i have a galaxy note 3 sm-n900 on my hand right now, the problem is that i have no data, unknown baseband and no imei (Null/Null)......is there any solution ??? thank you...

In normal case all this missing comes from factory, if you need help from others you must explain how this happened, what rom you are using etc etc

May be your imei data was corrupt.
Did you make backup for the EFS data?
If so just restore it.

i have the same issue with a friends phone, no EFS backup, he won't tell what he did to the phone but now imei is null/null and doesn't have a baseband, anyway to fix it?

similar problem
I have a sm-n900 exynos and I have lost my imei and baseband during a Samsung flash. I have a TWRP backup, efs.img backup by dr.ketan's backup tool but nothing is able to restore my efs. I have scanned emmc blocks for bricked blocks and all blocks come back as non-corrupted. may be the partition is corrupted .how do I erase my efs partition to rebuild it. I have tired to flash PIT from ODIN but that too doesn't work.
tried this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2567133&page=36
but need a guide to identify the partitions and how to rebuild them. by any chance anyone know if I could extract twrp backup to files to restore efs or from efs.img so I can use the nv_data.bin, since tried restoring the backups and it didn't restore I feel the partition might be corrupt and hence not being re-written. so might be I have to rebuild the partitions by formatting as explained in this thread. but I don't know exactly the steps for exynos variant. I tried using terminal on twrp but mkef2 command shows mmbcblkp03 doesn't exist which as I have read in posts is the efs partition on this phone and reboots to twrp recovery. and mmbcblkp12 show filesystem too small and reboots to twrp recovery

weird thing is, i sometimes find the imei and the baseband and sometimes i dont, phone's not rooted yet, trying to find a way to root it without trippong knox since is not mine, but maybe im able to recover the efs i hope it works

Same problem here...
Hey guys, I'm experiencing the same problem since i installed VN kit kat rom. I searched for the efs backup and i found it but when i use odin to flash it it doesn't work. I tried flashing back to stock but that doesn't work. Can soneone please help me?

Fixed it!!!
If you have a n900 and your imei is null and your baseband is unknown all you have to do is to flash the file beneath with cwm recovery and voila!

HI just one question my friend has the exact same problem (IMEI null/null) baseband is unkown !!! the device is SM-N900 running 4.4.2 right now he flashed the file but the problem still exist !!! pleeeeeeeeease help !!
this file only works if the device is running official 4.3 ??? or we can flash it on stock 4.4.2 !!!
it seems wiered to me that others on this forum flashed the file and it worked with them !!!!!
pleeeeeeease help

You can still flash it if you have 4.4.2. The file i uploaded to be flashed is just to flash the baseband not the rom itself.
Btw did you flash the file with cwm recovery?

we flashed it 2 times but nothing !! after flashing the baseband stays unkown and IMEI (null/null)
just one thing that the system is 4.4.2 rooted is that a problem ? should we flash the official stock 4.4.2 and then flash the file ?!!

That s due to a modem you update so go back to original modem. ..

Ohw ok.... When i flashed the file my sim card got the read the first time i restarted my phone. I don't get why it doesn't work for your friend. What you can try to do is to download (google) other basebands for n900 and try to see if those work (it doesn't necessarily have to be 4.4.2 cuz i flashed the same 4.3 file on my 4.4.2 phone and it worked). If that doesn't work you can try to flash a stock rom and then flash a baseband ( while still in recovery mode), try the one i uploaded. just be sure to have a backup of the current rom if the stock one doesn't seem to be solution.
Maybe start with these :

[Q] IMEI lost ater installing a custom kernel

Hello guys i've installed merruk kernel 2.0 pre-final and my imei is blank. It don't recognize my sim card. I've made a full backup in CWM but it not worked. I want to revert ext4.zip process and install my stock kernel that i have a backup, is't possible? Will it restore my IMEI?

most likely the ril is not compatible with your baseband
I keep saying you cant use an old kernel with a new firmware baseband or you will loose imei
you can solve this by replacing the ril lib with an old baseband version
see
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52449987&postcount=232
try the hyp 8 ril - you can try others if you wish
if you want to return to stock you will have to flash stock rom via odin to convert your system from ext back to rfs
see
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2568853
you can then restore your stock nandroid backup as long as you restore it using the kernel and cwm from which it was made on

My current ROM is the stock rom of S5360B, how do i do it without brick my phone in this case? what other methods should i try to restore my IMEI if this method not work?
Current ROM info:
Model: GT-S5360B
Version: Android 2.3.6
Product Code: ZTO
PDA: S5360BUTME2
CSC: S5360BZTOMJ1
MODEM: S5360BUTNA1

The GT-S5360B is exactly the same phone as a normal GT-S5360. It will work without much problems (if any), and it most probably won't brick your phone. Flash the zip for your baseband as per nornal (remember to mount /system)
Any other methods? I'm not too sure, apart from using Galaxy Toolbox to check your efs partition is damaged and backing up your efs partition.

no difference - you can flash 5360 on a 5360b if you want to
the only difference is the B version is branded varient of the 5360
you can use any file you like from the 5360 without any problems plus if you really want the 5360b firmware to flash stock rom via odin at a later date its also on my firmware thread

Ok, I'll try to install the stock rom via odin, hope it works . I have a doubt, I ran the ext4 converter. have i to follow this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2007720 or can i install without re-partition?
If it not working, what ril fix file can i use for my phone?
I'll update the result here.

Never tick repartition in odin
all you have to do is flash pda modem and csc - DO NOT tick anything extra
your phone will convert back to rfs from ext if you flash stock rom via odiin
I posted a load of rils from different basebands in post #2 of this thread - you can use what ever one you want - ril is dependant on rom firmware and kernel being used

select the install location of the samsung divers (normally C:\Program Files\SAMSUNG)
if its not there then you havent installed the drivers
note - you do not need drivers for mass storage mode - you only need them for adb (download mode)

It worked! I've installed the stock rom and my IMEI is showing and the sim card is ok. Thank you all. But i have one more question:
I don't intend to continue with stock rom and stock kernel. What should i do to prevent this error occur by installing any custom rom or custom kernel? I've heard that i have to backup the efs, but the efs folder is always blank on galaxy y.

the efs partition is empty on galaxy y because that partition is not mounted
you can backup your efs partition with galaxy toolbox but that wont help you with the problem you had
I keep saying its to do with the ril - you cant use an old kernel with a new firmware and vise versa
to solve this if you use an old kernel with a new firmware replace the ril lib of the new firmware with one from an old firmware

- you should be on kitkat stock rom.. the recommended firmware is NH6 and NK1 base
- root your phone
- then install recovery like cwm 6.0.5.1 or philz 6.49.0. you can find it on grand 2 thread easily
- after that install S6 styled S5 port. before install. make sure youdo this :
1. wipe data,cache, and dalvik. wipe dalvik can be find in advanced option
2. format system and boot in mount and storage option
3. then flash the rom
4. then aroma installer should be begin. there 2 option here
- wipe external sd card : this will wipe all your external sd card
- no wipe
if you dont want your data in ext gone.. dont choose wipe ext sd card !
instead use no wipe
5. oh yeah after that flash deds kernel v2.0 in kernel section of grand 2 thread. if you already download it. just flash it..
the reason flash deds kernel because it will fix the wifi and xposed installer issue
- and its finished. just reboot your phone now.. wait 5 minute and yay.. :laugh:
if i help. please hit thanks button okay

hmm maybe you should do this
- flash stock rom nk1 again and root it again
- after root your phone, reboot .and you will see supersu app. open it.then you will see knox bootloader. choose disable bootloader. then now it update binary from supersu. choose normal .dont use twrp/cwm option. reboot again. and now download busybox in play store. after that install the busybox
- then flash recovery.. and then see the instruction of flashing rom in my previous post
note : dont flash deds kernel v2.3e... it will brick your phone... flash deds kernel v2.0
please tell me if it works or not

I opened superu after reboot by it is showing nth in hw to disable bootloader

knox can be find in supersu .. when you already root it.. it will usually appear knox option.

NOTE:
- I don't have the box to find it out.
- I have looked at the sim card tray, no luck with that.
- I can turn it on to find it out from the settings as it's stuck at boot loop

So why you wanna IMEI??
If you wanna flash stock rom then download it for j500f
And if you got bootloop so go to stock recovery and select wipe cache partition and wipe data/factory reset

Because through IMEI I'll get the Serial Number of my device and by using the serial number I'll flash it with stock ROM through Kies. Kies require the model number and IMEI number of the device.

The IMEI is fake and when I try to download the stock ROM it gives so many options for the ROM I've downloaded some 3-4 different ROMs but went unsuccessful.
for stock recovery, I can't access any mode except the download mode on my phone.?

You don't need kies for flashing rom you only need your phone model(j500f) and odin
