Just to be clear, you have never rooted the phone and KNOX isn't tripped? If so, you can just get it fixed under warranty, because I can assume you do not have an EFS backup and without that you cannot fix ti yourself.
It looks more like stolen "new"phone?

Is that possible to fix it if i copy the efs folder of another working s5 to the broken one ?

Just turn the phone in for repair under warranty if you bought the phone, btw changing IMEI number is illegal and cannot be discussed on XDA

Hi,
"playing" with ROMs i noticed that the IMEI of my Galaxy has changed from the original to the new 00499XXXXXXXXXX .
It works perfectly both phone and internet, but I have a question: the new IMEI is the real IMEI sended to my operator or it's only a displaying issue ?
Thanks for help.

The IMEI is some sort of engineering mode, It will go back to original if you restore the /EFS folder, Or flash back to froyo.
Dont know why this happens, but its happened to me a few times. I dont know what is displayed on your carriers side
I know this guy, who knows another guy who has a blacklisted SGS, He fcuked about with the IMEI until it went funny (00499XXX.......) and it works perfect with any sim card.
Perhaps its untraceable ??? I would suggest reverting to your original IMEI just in case, As tampering with IMEI is illegal in most countries

Do you guys think the method for reparing imei for the Qualcomm Verizon and AT&T galaxy s3 works the same way for i9505 since the i9505 is qualcomm?

Nope. The phone is right now an expensive multimedia player.
Let's see if we can sort it.
If it's in warranty why not just give it to service center

I have difficulties understanding how come nobody has managed to understand the efs folder deeply, especially regenerating the correct imei which is the crook in most cases. Because as i see it, the nv_Data.bin is regenerated when deleted, but the imei is in developer mode which needs to be corrected.
Where have you been xda hackers all these years Someone needs to decrypt the nv_data.bin
I haven't asked him if he can send it to service center. Probably.
oh yeah, i forgot, we have rooted it and flashed another fw. Wouldn't the service center be suspicious why the imei is broke and figure out we have rooted it = warranty void?
Yes they will. But before you take it to them there is nothing to stop you resetting the flash counter with Triangle Away (latest version works with I9505) before flashing the original firmware with Odin. If it's a genuine firmware it won't increase flash count. You will then have a stock unmodified phone with a corrupt IMEI.

some users report that it worked (i doubt since efs partition is not included in the firmware)
try it, nothing to lose.
I9500 sold in Qatar are coming from UAE (if not mistaken). to be sure connect to Kies and see what are the last (3 letters) under phone firmware. i think it is (XSG).

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.

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.

Did you buy this phone brand new? If you didn't, it's a possibility that either your phone IMEI is a clone, or the other phone is, because that's the ONLY way two phones will have the same number.
