[FIXED] NEED URGENT HELP! My phone's MEID is now 0! - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was on stock 4.2.2 on my i9505 and decided to flash the Google Play Edition ROM
Now I have no network and when I dial *#06# it says:
MEID
0
Can anyone please help me out?

I tried downloading the program, the thing is, I only know my IMEI (which is what shows behind the battery), but I can't find my MEID or ESN (because I actually don't know what they are... is the ESN the Serial Number? Because I've read that ESNs are only for the US? I'm on Portugal Vodafone).
Anyways, when I write the IMEI and press "write", nothing happens. Then I press "Reset" at the top right, and the phone doesn't reboot.
I downloaded a Demo version of the software, but wasn't it supposed to work anyways?

Actually I read on another post that it doesn't have to be the paid version of the program. He doesn't specifically say to pay for it, he says something like "pay for it or whatever".
I now have my MEID because I found a converter, but... The program still doesn't work. I'm starting to wonder if it's because I'm on Windows 8...

I would also like to add that I was on 4.2.2, did a Nandroid Backup, but then had to flash 4.3 because I couldn't find a 4.2.2 ROM on samfirmware (since it only shows me the latest one).
Anyways, on this 4.3 ROM I can't restore my Nandroid Backup. It just bootloops. Ideas?

PROBLEM FIXED.
Unfortunately what I did might not be of help for anyone with the same problem. But here it goes:
Like I said, I was on 4.2.2 originally. But since I couldn't find a 4.2.2 official firmware, I had to download a 4.3 stock one. I flashed it once -- still the same problem. Tried flashing another ROM -- still the same problem. BUT THEN, I flashed the 4.3 stock ROM again, and it just worked! IDK what happened.
Anyways, hope someone can get the same results as me!

Stock Eclair Rom (I9000UGJH2)

Long story short, I lost my IMEI. After reading a lot and trying a lot of thing, I was able to restore the product code but still, my IMEI is a generic one.
I can still access network and make calls, but it bugs me so I have yet one last thing to try; revert to stock eclair rom.
Only thing, I can't find any of those...
Actually, I "found" I9000UGJH2 but when I push it with Odin, I get a boot loop (with the samsung logo)
So, doest anyone can provide me with a stock Eclair rom?
IE:
-I9000UGJH2
-I9000DTJG4
-I9000UGJG8
Thanks!
Get a GB stock ROM and flash it via Odin...
FYI: If I ask for a specific version I have already tried those easely available, from JL2 to KG3 to JL2 then upgrade via kies to KG3.
as stated on the original request, I want to test eclair as it was the original rom on it.
Then try FroYo. It's better than Eclair.
Bro, you have to learn to read...
JL2=froyo
KG3=GB
ALL ALREADY TRIED...
I specificaly asked for those rom FOR A REASON!
Hey.
Take a look at samfirmware, a quick search told me they have it there. You need to register (think it's still free, i haven't gone there in a while)
http://www.sammobile.com/
I've seen there:
Android 2.1 I9000HVJH1
Android 2.1 I9008ZMJG1
Android 2.1 I9000DXJG4
Android 2.1 I9000DDJF2
so pick your poison and good luck.
Also, since your chances of actually recovering imei that way are 50% at this point (it'll either work or not ), i'll also leave a document that tells you how to rebuild the /efs folder. Sorry, portuguese was the only language i found this (picked from another forum). I guess you can always use google translate if you need or shoot me a pm if you have any trouble understanding the language at some point, i'll be glad to help.
https://docs.google.com/document/d/...NQ__7Xmy7vS7KTxY/edit?authkey=CL3S_f8M&pli=1#
Again, good luck with that. I'm guessing if you ever recover your imei, an /efs backup will be the first thing you'll do
None of them actually works when you click on "download" on samfirmware.com
Thanks for the guide, I'll check this out!

Listen carefully;
The reason why you got a boot loop while flashing eclair,that could happen if you're flashing ONE FILE ROM (which is same as rooting,onnly PDA)..
I %100 recommend that;
Flash a rom that HAS 3 FILES ,and with that , also PIT file which makes it 4 files BASE flashing...
Roms that are containing 4 files..
XXJVU (2.3.6 GB)
XXJVQ(2.3.4 GB)
JVQ could looks like older but belive me flash JVQ then you can GET JW4 latest offical european Value Pack firmware FROM KIES!.
All you have to do ;
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B_UDv0VHoyaRak95b0NSX3Q1Tlk/edit?pli=1 download this (this is my recovery rom )
in zip file,there are 4 files and they are;
s1_odin_20100512.pit (which goes to PIT in odin)
CODE.tar (which goes to PDA in odin)
MODEM.tar (which goes to PHONE in odin)
CSC.tar (which goes to CSC in odin)
MAKE SURE RE PARTITION is CHECKED.Then flash it .)
After that when you get your imei back,
type *#272*imeinumber# in dialer then change CSC to XEU (united kingdom).. Then connect to kies and voila!!!!!! You 'll get JW4
Again, thanks for the heads up but I NEED an eclair rom for a SPECIFIC reason, a specific test, I have already tested GB and Froyo and it doesn't work.
I don't need it for JW4 or any other already available rom out there, I can already flash them with Odin or flash with CWM.
So, if anyone has the 3 files for I9000UGJH2 and can provide it, please let me know! I can provide an FTP for you to drop it.
BTW, I've tested the portugeese walktrough to no result.
Hmm.Okey then but ,if gb/froyo flashing didn't get your imei back..I dont think eclair wont get that too
Is it must be UGJH2? Or any other eclair roms.. ?
Sorry for your imei bro btw...i hope you can get it back... Did you ever take a backup of your efs folder on any custom roms before this thing happened?
GT-I9000 cihazımdan Tapatalk 2 ile gönderildi
try to flash any eclair rom you find,preferably stock
I would think that, since the IMEI and Product number are "related" (in the /efs folder), it would need to, at least, have the product code (sell code, with *#272*IMEI#), that's why I'm looking for thoses specific roms.
And no, I didn't made a backup prior to this... :S

Wow, that was long ago!
I think you can change your product code this way:
To change the CSC (otherwise known as product code) dial *#06# to get your imei and write it down carefully.
Then dial *#272*your imei# (replace "your imei" with the 15 digit code you just wrote down) and you will get to the CSC selection screen.
Choose the one you want then hit "install".
Be aware that changing the CSC will effectively do a 'wipe data' on your phone.

But for the IMEI, you'll have to get it reprogrammed by a provider or something similar.

No signal - Can't connect to network

Hey guys I'm having a little problem with my GT-i9505. Problem being that I cannot get any reception on my device. It first occurred when I flashed a 4.3 rom over my 4.4.2 rom. I've tried switching to several different roms, both 4.3 and 4.4, yet none can fix the problem. I've tried to flash at least a dozen modem's in a bid to fix it. I searched for the modem suitable to my device and yet they still didn't work. I even tried to just install the official Samsung 4.4.2 rom via Odin, yet I'm still having the same problem. My baseband does change whenever I flash a new modem, but I still cant get a signal. When I try to search for a network in settings it lists the main carriers in the UK, but when I try to select mine (3 UK) it doesn't allow me to register, clicking select automatically yields the same results too. I've been searching for hours today on how to fix this, but just can't seem to find a method that helps. Any suggestions?
Have you tried manually entering the APN settings for 3 UK?

Take your S4 to a repair shop. Use Phil,s recovery when you re-root, install Omega ROM or another Samsung based ROM and, using Philz Touch 6 recovery, make a copy of your EFS file so if / when it happens again you can reinstall Omega or whichever ROM you installed and, using Philz recovery, you can reinstall your EFS file.
To make the backup, reboot recovery - backup and restore - custom backup - x (only in efs backup) - start custom backup - choose where to put the backup.
I use Omega as a reference because I know it will not screw up your EFS file.

Is there a way to fix this without having to spend anything? I literally can't afford to take it to a repair shop at this time
Also, my IMEI still shows as it should (corresponds with the IMEI on the back of my phone)

I had the same problem with my i9500 after flashing a Slim rom Perhaps you can get a copy of an efs file from someone with the same phone and then put it on your phone, or get the information you need from your phone company.

Did you try to remove the SIM CARD and switch off /on the phone to clean internal SIM register and to reinsert your SIM card again?
This worked for me once.
Nothing is wrong with my Sim slot cause when my sim card is in i can see my network name Wen I slide down status bar, only that no signal at all

I now have exactly the same problem as you. I tried (once again) to install a new ROM on my i9500 (SOKP this time) and now (for the third time) my phone won't register on the network. I'll take it to China Unicom in the morning and let you know what happened. Unfortunately I don't speak Chinese very well but I will try to watch what the repair guy does. Perhaps it will be of some help.
I took the phone to China Unicom but the tech that repaired it last time wasn't there.
So ur problem is not sorted then?

What u mean by purchase a new baseband bro?
did you try searching for a signal outside?
i'm on three uk network and signal indoors is absolutely atrocious! (especially since they started "upgrading" to 4g networks - i had the exact same problem with t-mobile switched to becoming ee, i don't know why these companies are so intent on breaking networks which worked perfectly before by "upgrading" them).

[Q] Need help - New phone came rooted?

Hello, i purchased a "new" lg g2 from HK.
The device came with SU installed and had no plastic on the screen.
Also - when trying to update to kit-kat it says "device is not registered'.
Could this be a new phone? Is it fake? Or just used??
Thanks!

You could type *#06# into your dialler and the IMEI should show up. Then you can type your IMEI into this URL behind "esn=" instead of ***
Code:
http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/auth_model_check2.jsp?esn=***
If it's a fake I'd guess you'd get something like this:
http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/auth_model_check2.jsp?esn=AnyRandomNonG2IMEI
Code:
<response req_cmd="auth_model_check" status="FAIL"/>
If the IMEI is good that link should give you a link to the latest firmware for your particular model, like this for my D802
Code:
<sw_url>
http://csmgdl.lgmobile.com/dn/downloader.dev?fileKey=FW157106432109876543213/D80220F_00.kdz
</sw_url>
and you can probably flash that according to this thread to get the device to factory default and latest official update.
or at least that's what I would try

If you put your IMEI into the URL and a fail came back I would say that means that the device you have is not in fact an LG G2.
The clickable link I posted is a counter-example of what you should get and not indicative of anything. Copy
Code:
http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/auth_model_check2.jsp?esn=***
into the address bar in your browser and replace *** with your IMEI. The IMEI is the number that should show up when you type *#06# into your dialler (you can also find it under Settings>About phone>Status>IMEI).
Then hit enter and see what shows up.
Keep in mind I can't say for sure as I have never encountered that case... Maybe try to find more things that could indicate the authenticity (or lack thereof).
Check the "About phone" section in your settings, dig through the build.prop file etc (you'll find stuff if you google I'm sure)

Well there you go, now if you follow my link (plug in your IMEI first) then you can download a factory image and flash that to completely restore/update the phone

So wierd, i ordered 4 phones, two work and the other 2 gives "fail" message.
They look identical in every way, software and firmware wise... could this device be stolen or just not registered as a "sold" unit at lg??

Sorry, I have to pass on this one did you check imei.info as well? maybe the site I suggested cant handle certain model variants of the G2 (there are about 8 different variants).
If you can, get the app Build Prop Editor by JRummy and search for "ro.product.model" or simply "model" and see what comes up. (Maybe use a seperate google account so you wouldn't associate your regular one with a potentially stolen device...)
or compare the info in Settings>About Phone. (just bangin' rocks together here...)
well
Phone seems to be genuine, i ran some benchmarks and cheked and compared all setting.
Only problem is it's not registered at LG for some reason.
Anyways - i don't really care about OTA updates, but can LG brick my phone or block it??
@dorlev you maybe can try to flash stock kdz or tot, it may sounds weird but who knows. As far as i hear your story the device isnt registered in the LG database. So you could contact lg support maybe about that and or check also the link from preggy with your imei. Dont post your imei here btw

[Q] no network after odin

so updated from 4.2.2 to 4.4.2 to 4.4.4 to 5.0.
I didnt check each step, but I have no network access now. I get the circle with the line through it. The phone works perfectly, but no access. EMEI is there, etc etc
I've searched for hours and found no solutions.
ive odined back 4.4.2 but cant get back to 4.2.2
current baseband is I337UCUFNB1
any help would be super super appreciated.
thanks in advance
so I've got a network signal card until I put the sim in.

No networks showing available.
Anyone??

I think this phone is now dead. I need to repair NV, but have no way to do it unfortunately
essentially the phone gets the circle with line thru it. flashed every modem under the sun. not an apn problem. Phone just can see different networks for some reason
problem is NV files, but there is no way to correct issue I dont believe

I feel for you OP, I accidentally deleted my ESF 1/2/3 via service menu (I made a back up via service menu but don't think all the files are there.) A lot of things in my settings are set to "unknown" now. If you find a fix please share it with me, I'm hesitant to try anything else on my S4 since I've already managed to mess it up, but at the same time I guess there isn't much else to lose.

[HELP!] I think I messed up my EFS partition and I don't have a backup....

I was VERY stupid. I went back to stock Oxygen OS using a fastboot image and now if I dial #*06# the IMEI box shows up but no IMEI number is actually in the box it is just blank. I did post about this before but last time I didn't really know what happened I was asking if anyone could tell me what they thought happened. I am pretty sure I screwed up the EFS partition and I am just wondering what I need to do now. Is there some way I can repair it I mean I don't have a backup. Can I contact OnePlus support? I really need help.

I forgot, honestly this happened a few weeks ago I tried looking through my history but I couldn't find it. How can I fix it?
EDIT: It wasn't from XDA for sure.

I was VERY stupid. I went back to stock Oxygen OS using a fastboot image and now if I dial #*06# the IMEI box shows up but no IMEI number is actually in the box it is just blank. I did post about this before but last time I didn't really know what happened I was asking if anyone could tell me what they thought happened. I am pretty sure I screwed up the EFS partition and I am just wondering what I need to do now. Is there some way I can repair it I mean I don't have a backup. Can I contact OnePlus support? I really need help.

This happened to me a few times in the past, all I had to do was wipe dalvik and cache again and it came back. Not sure if it's the same issue but I would give it a shot. Just boot into recovery and wipe them again and see if it gets you back up and running.

first try this.
then, flash H2OS. (Oxygen Os won't work from that recovery so, H2OS. Later you can re-flash though)
(Try this first!!!)
EDIT: if that doesn't reset, try this.

I cannot use that because my device is not hard bricked and it will not install the driver since I can enter the bootloader normally.
Not sure if you've seen this post its based on the post above but I think it just uses fastboot. Don't know if it will work for you, but figured it would be worth a shot.

I tried using the tool and it did not work, I purposely hard bricked the device to try it and still no signal or imei. Another problem is WiFi takes about 4 minutes just to turn on but I can live with that I just want service.
Basically flashing back the stock should bring back the efs. Let's see if someone has a solution. Sorry!
EFS files are unique to each phone. If the EFS is corrupt or damaged, and there is no backup, I don't know of any way to fix it ;_; You can try OnePlus support but they aren't as dumb as carrier warranty or other phone manufacturers. They'll be more likely to know what you did.
It is possible to restore your imei number, I did it on my brothers lg g2. It requires some software for PC (I can't remember the name, you'll have to google it) and the box your phone came in with the imei number. It is possible, so don't lose hope!

Is it called QPST configuration? If so all I need help with is getting the phone to be recognized by the tool. Don't you need it to be on some COM port or something?

Yeh that software rings a bell and yeh I believe it's something like com port 47 maybe. It was a while ago when I did it and I can't remember the process of doing it :/

Don't I need a special driver? Also, do I need to put the phone into diag mode and how would I do that?

Have a look at this link http://droidmodderx.com/galaxys3/?page_id=79 I really can't remember how I did it and without researching again I won't know. It's a rough idea to maybe help you, I think the device just needs to be in USB debugging mode. I can't help anymore sorry and good luck.
any fix for this yet?
Same problem also with my op2 . No imei no baseband
