Isn't IMEI used for phone identification along with MEID? If thats blank, would it be an issue on Verizons side?

Hi
I don't know if you've fixed your issue with your g900v or not, but i have the same problem and the same phone and obviously the same symptoms ...
As far as I've tried, nothing worked not ODIN flashing ROMs, or QPST to write IMEI or EFS professtiona ADB .... etc.
What I've come to know is this :
1- keep the phone in a safe place till next months reveal a solution through developers here or elsewhere.
2- Flash the Original Samsung Verizon Rom ( Full Package with efs and bootloader mounts and all partitions " Clean Flash" ) which costs about 100$ .
3- Change the board for a (200$) new one .
So, I would try to pay the 100$ and flash the original ROM, and comeback to tell if it solved the Problem.
I wish if you share any different approach or feedback . I would love to hear it .
Bye
It could possibly be that your EFS folder is damaged. This is where your IMEI and Baseband info is stored. If that's the case for your device, these steps should work. I've done this on two phones (one being an S5) and it fixed this problem.
I'm assuming that you're rooted. If not then you'll need to root your device first. And you need to have debugging enabled. What this does is backups the files from the EFS folder, repairs the partition tables, then restores the files to the repaired folder.
1. Connect the phone to your computer. (Windows)
2. Download this: https://www.dropbox.com/s/v2h5dzisjd0rgj5/EFS_Professional_2.1.73_Release.zip?dl=0
3. Extract and run the program
4. Click EFS Professional... It will open a window showing that it found your phone
5. Click on the Backup Tab and make sure all of the partitions are checked, and your Device Filter is recognized
6. Hit the Backup button to backup the EFS folder
7. After that's done, click the Restore button and it will restore your files to the EFS folder.
I hope this helps you.
There used to be a tool for the Note 2 I believe, maybe S4, that would let you re-write your EFS if it accidentally got erased. Not a backup/restore deal, but a tool to key in your IMEI and it would write it to the phone. Maybe research that tool for a fix?

Was it a tool specifically for the Note 2, or multiple Samsung devices, or maybe a universal program like CDMA Workshop? I love that program. It's what I use when it comes to actually entirely rewriting files like this. Most of the time a full rewrite isn't needed though if the EFS folder has just been damaged. Which "damaged" is totally the wrong word here, but that's what it's called for some reason. I really don't even know how it happens, but I do know when it does, it usually just jumbles and/or fragments the info in the folder and needs to be put back in it's correct order. Kind of like defragging in Windows. Just a tool like you're talking about would definitely be cool for me to have though. I shall start my quest to find it. Lol
Please some help
Any luck yet ???
Got the same issue here, and none of the threads here worked .
Same problem
Hello,
I have the exact same problem. I bought the phone here in Mexico, and the phone came with erased EFS folder. Phone restarts automatically when screen turns off. When I'm using the phone, it works just fine, but some seconds after screen goes off, phone restarts automatically. EFS folder is messed up, I've tried out a lot EFS restoring tools with no luck.
I tried QPST but it does not detect the phone, only appears "?" and "No phone" blinking. The same happens with DFS Tool.
I will try to look for that tool joshw0000 talks about.
I hope we can find out a solution for this excellent phone.
Bye.
Hey ...
I did a factory reset and cache wipe, and now the phone stopped restarting when the screen goes off, but still got the "Unknown" issues.
But at least I got rid of the annoying restarts.
570 ppl read this and still no answer, I got to admit ... it's tough.

Are you using International or US Galaxy S3 ?
Methods using Diag mode and software like SGS3-Exploiter-GeeK or QPST (Qualcomm Product Support Tools) are made to work ONLY with the United States variant of Galaxy S3 (based on Qualcomm SoC).
Now, I don't know software to fix International SGS3 without EFS folder backup (Sorry :crying: ) when nv_data.bin and .nv_data.bak are broken.

I had this problem on my S£ (international) a while back. It happened after flashing cm10, I had a generic IMEI code. I f'd around with it a bit using root explorer and the EFS folder and the .bak files but this did not work.
I tried ktools etc. nothing seemed to work..
oddly enough, i got it back by flashing back to the stock ics rom via Odin, since then my IMEI has been fine after flashing JB roms.
worth a try!
@lozfromcorby : I just saying they have not software to do that now on I9300. But I'm agree with you ! Sometimes, we can recover wrong IMEI when flahsing stock ROM.
Yep it's international ((
Ok I will try to flash stock rom again :/ I will post result here....

I have seen that the Z3X box can fix all Samsung Galaxy devices excepted SGS3 !
I think you need send your phone to repair center.
But before, you can try this :
Save remaining files contain on your EFS folder. For that, use EFS Tool Pro for example :

Try this tutorial (with a full official stock firmware/kernel | Flash it with ODIN before trying repair) :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1264021
Caution : DO IT ON YOUR OWN RISK.
If it doesn't work, you must :
- reset binary counter (with Chainfire tool : Triangleaway)
- perform total wipe data / wipe cache (from recovery mode)
- flash the latest stock firmware corresponding to your region
- verify the phone status : must be "Normal" and not "Modify".
Device is working... but no network thats why ((

Could you tell me which ics stock room version helped you recovering your imei?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
I have a temporary solution for you. if you still have the backup of the the EFS folder in your internal or external sd card than follow the following steps,
1. copy ALL the files from the EFS BACKUP FOLDER.
2. go to the root of your your phone with root explorer of ES file explorer and find the folder EFS. it should be with all the system folders like acct, config,data,dev,efs,etc so on and on.
3. now paste all the copied files in to EFS folder. tap on REPLACE THE FILES if ASKED...
4. close the app. and go to the home screen and wait for few seconds.
if your simcard have pin than it will ask the pin after few seconds and if it doesnt have any pin than it will just get the network.
good things is you have your IMEI number restored and can use the phone like regularly. NO PROBLEMS AT ALL. WITH NETWORK.
bad thing is NEVER LET YOUR PHONE SWITCH OFF. If it will switch off than you will have to follow all the steps again... annoying but works... let me know the progress buddy... best of luck...
Your other option is to to flash the stock rom but not let it finish. You will get a loop screen. Then just send it off for repair saying it doesn't turn on.. It will be diagnosed as a broken bootloader and fixed and the imei number will be back to the original. This happened with my old s1

Hi! :crying:
I had the bad idea to use this software (EFS by BORIS.X.1 ) and I didn't see the warning at the END of the presentation of the soft...
I clicked on "backup EFS". The phone reboots straight away. (I thought it was maybe normal).
I clicked on "backup NVRAM". The phone reboots again.
Actually, since that, my phone is almost dead. I could boot but after a few second I got a reboot. --> bootloop.
I did a hard reset via the Android recovery. I reflashed my VEGA ROM (packed with the other missing files from the original stock ROM, so I guess it's full wipe anyway).
I did it many times. Nothing changed. On the top of that I can not access to my WIFI, 3G, on voice (SIM NOT FOUND).
I don't know what to do anymore. I have a MI7 rooter 0x0 phone and I would like to keep it so!!
Please help me since I just bought that phone and spent all the day before to manage the URDLV properly.

Your EFS is corrupted by the sounds of it, can you check settings > general > about device and see if your baseband says "Unknown"? If so then...
Only guarantee to unbrick and get your baseband back properly (without EFS back up) is using a custom recovery (tripping KNOX) and using This - used it myself and it does work - But it only works on the N9005
Aside from that, I'm not 100% sure myself without an EFS backup as to how to fix..Good luck

Thank you. Yes, I know that tip but, before making that step, I want to be sure this is only the EFS :
That's the thing! I can't use my phone and access to the menu "state of the phone". It always reboots before. I have also a error message telling "the process SYSTEM doesn't respond. Do you want to terminate it ?" And most of my softs just crash, even contact. I can't dial on my phone!!
Can we say it's only a EFS problem ? In which proportion the soft I used would have damage my phone ??

I was messing around with custom kernels, constant rebooting every 60seconds. Managed to check my baseband which said unknown, so went into TWRP and flashed the EFS fix and it booted straight up, baseband back, 3G signal etc

Unless we learn more about what that program was trying to do (presumably from the author of the program?) the only other FACT that we know is that writing a custom recovery is GUARANTEED to trip your knox flag; just writing your original Samsung ROM has a good chance to NOT trip knox; if you apply the first then you can never try the 2nd and keep knox, while if you apply the 2nd method and it does not work you still can use the 2nd or something else.

To have some script that can be written in Odin would be nice - as long as it does not trip knox. Something which might be a little more complex than it sounds.
Well Asansam can do it with just a rooted device, no need for custom recovery.
So find one with an Asansam box, and just run the "Restore PB" command.

I checked re-partition and selected the totoro.pit file, i also've written "PhoneEnable=1" in Odin3.ini to use Phone Bootloader Update feature.

The flash was fine, & efs.rfs (my most recent EFS backup image) flashed correctly into phone's.

Remove the sd card from your phone
Go into download mode
Flash the firmware from my firmware thread (links in my signature)
Never flash a pit file or bootloader - if you choose the wrong one you will brick your phone as you have discovered
If you can't successfully boot the phone after that you will have to flash the correct bootloader via a jtag - if you don't have one goto a repair shop as they cost about £200 UK pounds
If after that it still doesn't work might have to replace motherboard but you might as well put the money towards a new phone
Hi marcussmith2626,
I flashed Bootloader in the s5360 ODD package and used totoro.pit file

I took an hex editor and started the phone in download mode,
i took totoro.pit and added cal.bin under 'cal' partition name, and flashed custom pit.
(restarted and made a custom odin package with this cal.bin).
then i sent my latest cal backup (call this EFS Backup) and sent to device my cal.bin inside TAR file.
Then the phone restarted without problems.
Do you have an EFS (in fact cal) backup of your phone?
It's the bml15 block of your device. :good:

Google will not admit this but there were major security flaws in factory images before jan,2017.
Read for yourself below article.

They patched it in Jan. But effected users like us(who got effected on 2016) got proper fu***.
The result : NO SERVICE but detects sim card.
Kindly.....Plz....plz...plz....make a copy of your efs and provide it in this thread. Please also mention what factory image/build number u are using.
No one will give you his EFS backup because its unique for each phone..so you cant use someone else EFS on your phone...

Hey,
When the IMEI is corrupted on the software side, it still shows up using:
fastboot getvar all
So the IMEI is somehow corrupted on the EFS partition. How, I don't know. Seems like the EFS acts like a bridge between hardware/software. Of course, I could be wrong...
Some have tried but didn't succeed. Now, it's not the first time I see someone using another EFS backup and getting his IMEI back. I don't know why it would get "their"" original IMEI instead of the one included in the EFS backup either. But i guess they must all lie saying it fixed their device.
Cheers...
I have restored EFS using a backup from someone else's device EFS. It did not change my original imei.

Google will not admit this but there were major security flaws in factory images before jan,2017.
Read for yourself below article.

They patched it in Jan. But effected users like us(who got effected on 2016) got proper fu***.
The result : NO SERVICE but detects sim card.
Kindly.....Plz....plz...plz....make a copy of your efs and provide it in this thread. Please also mention what factory image/build number u are using.

I'll share one soon for everyone here. I'm just a bit worried about security though as I don't know what happens and what data is stored in an efs backup.

Down do it. The efs is device dependent. It will contain things like your imei. So even if restored on another device it will end up causing issues due to the same imei on different devices. It can also make it so things like WiFi don't work

Okay thank you, I had no clue about efs so I'll take your word on it.
Guys can anyone share efs so that I can restore and save my phone..I Have no signal ispitevof detection sim card...it shows no service.. But when I use jio it shows full signal..kindly help..
I had similar problem with my OnePlus X. Apparently I was saving and restoring my efs partion with every twrp backup which eventually caused it to become currupt. Thought my phone was toast until a friend on telegram suggested deleting modem1 and modem2 files with adb commands. Sounded more destructive then good but it actually worked sim was reading again and got full use of my phone. It's good to make backup of efs but only once. Not sure if this is the fix for every phone but works with OnePlus and Xiaomi.
How to Fix EFS from Bootloader Mode using Fastboot commands
Setup ADB and Fastboot on your PC.
Enable Developer options & USB debugging on your Android device.
Connect your device to the PC and open a command window on the PC.
Issue the following commands one by one:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot reboot
Got my information from here
