[help] I see my IMEI but... - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all, i've purchased an SM-G900F but there is a problem, it has rooted.
I've noticed those :
- I can see IMEI number (if i do #*06#) but my EFS folder is empty
- When turn on WiFi , the device will reboot automatically and appear " Factory Mode is On"
- i can make first call with sim , after i'm unable to call , but the 3G network works
- Whit ES File Explorer i've see that my efs folder is empty (But i can see my IMEI with secret code)
- In Device Info i see one time "Official Status" and another time "Personalized Status"
I'm tinking that old owner is a very st......d guy. Howewer these are all information :
Model : SM-G900F
Version : 4.4.2
BASEBAND : NE2
BUILD : NE2
What do you think? How i can solve the problems?
EDIT 1 : i've formatted from recovery , now it ask me to insert the samsung account of old owner...

- Use Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app to obtain more detailed information about your device, including Model, Baseband, Bootloader, CSC, IMEI, S/N, etc...
- May be the Reactivation lock has been enabled. You should ask the ex-owner for the account.

reactivation lock is on. you will need to contact old owner. There is also a way to "fix" that but not sure if it is appropriate for XDA.

The guy was not traceable now. He's vanished ....

You are kinda between a rock and a hard place if reactivation lock is enabled and you don't have the login to toggle that. In most cases that means that the phone is stolen and this is an explicit anti theft feature. You need that login from the original owner. Or if you have the original receipt, you might be able to convince a Samsung repair center to disable the reactivation lock for you.
In any event, as to your original question the most likely cause of the problem is a corrupt configuration file, namely a text file named "factorymode". You can try this repair from the command line or a root aware text editor.
Code:
echo -n ON > /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode

Great. But you neglected to tell us if you tried (or even noticed) the suggestion to check your factory mode configuration file. The contents should show "ON" (yes, "ON") and the permissions 0644. Your efs folder may appear empty to you when it really isn't. It depends on whether you have your file browser (or command line options) set to display hidden and system files or not.

y factory mode is on , because i can't acces my wifi, and it appear that factory mode is on. I've set to see hidden files , but now i haven't root on my device
Edit: terminal emulator say : no such file or directory
Edit 2 : Solved with terminal emulator and busy box Thanks to @leoaudio13 for his dump
These are the command for mount efs :
su
mke2fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p12
mount -w -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p12
reboot
After then , with text editor i've disabled FactoryApp in efs folder tanks to all

.
For the benefit of anyone else reading this thread, do not repeat the steps in the post above until
you understand what they do. A typo in those steps could easily cause you endless grief.
Glad you go it working.
If those steps fixed your issue, then you mislead us with erroneous information earlier. You said that you had an empty efs folder earlier. But those steps would not have been necessary or effective if that was accurate. You must have had a missing efs partition. There is a considerable difference between an empty and nonexistent item and that datum would have led us to a solution.
On a normal phone, there would be an extant efs folder and it would be automatically mounted at boot. A missing folder strongly suggests that the wrong firmware or a flash error took place. Presumably by the previous owner.
Anyone using the make filesystem command mke2fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p12 should be very careful with typos as an incorrect address could cause major corruption that would be difficult to recover from.

could be a block imei by the operator? if it is POSSIBLE to solve? or it could be due however to the efs folder, or the firmware, modem?

it's a different problem , you have a null imei , in your case it's more difficult to resolve.

As you can read i said, Ive got almost the same problem, i don't say we have the same problem. in a sense that previous owner account or the reactivation lock is present. sorry if i made a statement that bothers you, just looking for a solution.

hello guys, always about the efs folder I was reading this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2705524.
according to you through this tool is possiblile restore the backup I had done with samsung tool? I would like to try this because the efs folder on my sm-g900f is 23kb, but the backup I had done with samsung tool is 14mb !! what do you think?

What am i doing wrong?
My phone is Chinese and
it's rooted with SuperOneClick.
When backing up IMEI 5irom
(after granting superuser permission)
6 seconds later,
the folder /sdcard/5irom/imeibackup/
is empty.
and when starting 5irom again
the IMEI Backup dispays:
IMEI not backed up yet.
What am i doing wrong?
Also how many and
what files should be inside
the /imeibackup/ folder?
Any info would be greatly appreciated.

[Q] S4 i9505 CM10.1 - wifi won't turn on, has no MAC

Hello,
To start off, I have a USCellular S4 w/ CM10.1, currently the 7/9 nightly. I am running baseband version R970VXUAMDL and have not modified the kernel.
I am unable to enable WiFi at all on CM10.1 and haven't been able to since initially flashing CM10.1.
Under the Settings menu, I am unable to enable WiFi - it's greyed out.
Under the WiFi menu, I can enable the toggle but it does nothing.
Under the Advanced menu, MAC address shows 'unavailable' and the Wi-Fi region code is set to 'Europe' and will not remember changes.

Have you tried removing the .cid.info file ?
Using a terminal app type the following:
Code:
su
rm /data/.cid.info
On some ROM's have have to do this after every time I have rebooted the phone, not quite sure why but it works for me.

Thanks for the suggestion. I fired up Terminal Emulator, su'd, and it doesn't look like there is a .cid.info in /data/. There is a .psm.info, though, and .npswifi_stream - I don't know if they're related at all.

I dunno about EFS, but I know the IMEI is already correct - *#06* is showing the same IMEI as the label on the back of my phone.
My phone is work well after flashing CM, but no WIFI.
No /data/.cid.info file!
*#06# - show IMEI.
Did we ever get to the bottom of this?
Im having exactly the same problem, so bump. Its been like that for 6 months, my workaround so far was getting a bigger data subscribtion since 4g is working fine

Hi sylvis,
I realize that this is an old post. However. perhaps this thread will help someone else:
I flashed a Samsung Galaxy S4 (T-mobile SGH-M919) to CyanogenMod (CM11) this weekend. It worked ok for a couple days. The owner then said that they can't get any WI-FI. I found your post here and read with optimism that I might be able to fix this problem. Our problem was exactly "word for word" the same problem as you described in your original post. (Well almost exactly; we couldn't get "USA" to stick as the region code)
Before flashing the phone, I did install Philz ClockworkMod and did do a backup of the OEM ROM before flashing to CM11. That said, I found that I did not have to go down the road of restoring a missing IMEI file (as other threaders here describe). Here's what worked for me:
I dialed *#06# on the phone to see if there was an IMEI number present, and there was. I wrote down that number. So I decide to see if that number matched the printed number on the phone, that we can find under the battery.
Before I do a power off of the phone, I recall that I had turned OFF both Bluetooth and Mobile Networks. WI-FI was still turned ON, but in it's non-functional "greyed out" state like you and I both experienced.
Now I power off the phone, take off the back cover, and take out the battery to have a look at the printed IMEI number. Yes, it does march the number that I saw via *#06#.
I had to get up to do something, then returned a couple minutes later. I popped in the battery and restarted the phone. To my utter surprise, WI-FI was back up! In "Advanced" I now see the MAC address and the region is locked on USA
I turn on Mobile Networks, and WI-FI's still working. Being the fool that I am, I have to test this further. So I power off the phone again and just let it sit there for a couple minutes. I power back on and there is still JOY. Problem resolved and happy customer.
In closing: I don't think that the removal and reinsertion of the battery was the total solution, because the owner had already tried that. However, the owner did not let the phone sit with the battery removed for very long. They just popped it out, waited a couple seconds, then popped it back in. I think the total solution was having WI-FI enabled, Bluetooth and Mobile disabled, then doing a power off, with an extended wait time before reinserting the battery.
Hope that helps.
Regards,
Brcobrem

Does your phone also remember the IMEI? Dial *#06# and check if the number matches the original IMEI. If it's NULL or starts with 0049, that's the cause.
If the IMEI is correct, try a different SIM.

The IMEI is not null or it does not start with 0049. The IMEI on the phone and the box is correct is also correct. Also I've tried different SIM card but still getting the same message "not registered on network".

1- First, put your SIM card into another phone to make sure it works fine?
2- Second, open the Debug ServiceMode Menu and do the following: DEBUG SCREEN > NAS INFORMATION > MM INFORMATION (capture screenshot #1) > Menu - Back > MM REJECT CAUSE (capture screenshot #2).
And post these screenshots for further checking.
To open the Debug ServiceMode Menu:
a- If you have root, install Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app > Menu > 'Secret Codes' > *#197328640# > 'Launch 0'.
b- If you don't have root, open the dialer > *#0011# > Menu - Back > Menu - Key Input > Q0 > wait... until Debug ServiceMode Menu appears.
I have a quite similar problem. My phone is a 3UK (service provider) phone. I have 2 sim cards with me (MTN & Etisalat). My phone (note3) works perfectly fine. I have even rooted to resolve this issue.
Now the issue is whenever i put my MTN sim card it works perfectly fine on Note 3, however the moment i enter my Etisalat sim it will work for 10-15 mins & will stop working. I will have network bars but when i try to make any outgoing or incoming call it does not work.
Also if i use the same etisalat sim with my iPhone 5s it works perfectly fine.
I have tried *#1234# & the information that i got is as below:
AP: N9005XXUDMJ6
CP: N9005XXUDMJ4
CSC: N9005H3GDMJ2
Some of my friends told me to upgrade it to Kitkat and that might resolve the issue but when i try to check for updates it says:
Your device has been modified. Software updates are not available.
Please let me know what is the solution
Note: I am new to android world. So please consider that..

- What does it say when you make a call (incoming/outgoing)?
Please follow my above post and show screenshots for more checking.
- Regarding to upgrading it to KitKat, I doubt that will not fix your issue. However if you want to upgrade, you can flash the stock firmware via Odin. Use Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app > Menu > 'Firmware Browser' to download the correct firmware for your device, and flash it via Odin.

When I try to make a call it just says dialing.. And when I try to get incoming call it says switched off..
I have tried to check for firmware in phone info and got N9005XXUGNH1 . Not sure if I should install that or not.
Attached are the NAS info & firmware in phone info.

Does your phone also remember the IMEI? Dial *#06# and check if the number matches the original IMEI. If it's NULL or starts with 0049, that's the cause.
If the IMEI is correct, try a different SIM.

I asked for the date/time settings as in the MM REJECT CAUSE screenshot there is only log from the past. No any new log.
The screenshots you have shown are from the MTN sim card, right?
All info seem to be fine, I don't know why it cannot make or receive a call.
If possible, try to take screenshots for both SIM cards and compare to see if there is any differences.
EDIT: Oh NO, you need to show me screenshots from the sim card that doesn't work, NOT screenshots from the sim card that works fine.

Yes i have taken it from MTN sim which is working perfectly fine. Even my etisalat sim works for like 20 mins before it stops working.
Also i am downloading the N9005XXUGNH1 from Sammobile as you have mentioned before. But will it resolve the issue?
Attached is the screenshot of the same.
OK will attach the Etisalat sim & will upload in 5 mins
Attached are the screenshots of MM info, MM reject cause.
I am unable to open CALL END Cause. The moment i tap on it, it goes back to DEBUG Screen
I have tried to compare MM info, Reject cause with both the sim cards entering one by one & found out everything is same in Reject cause.
But MM info there is a slight change in MMC-MNC: 621-30 (MTN which works fine) & MMC - MNC: 621 - 60 (Etisalat which is not working)
LAC: 2ae8, RAC: 9 (MTN) & LAC: 7d15, RAC: 4
There are some changes in TMSI which is think is some sort of id.
Also want to know if I install N9005XXUGNH1 firmware on my samsung note 3 will this issue resolve?

unplug it and reboot your device;
Once it comes back on, it might take a minute or two for it to acquire signal so don't panic.
DO this on your own risk.. No body is responcible for any lost
Conclusion:
The only real way to know if the whole thing got applied is to do steps 1 through 10 again (obviously skipping installations)
and reading all values or if you are in an area where you previously had bad or no reception.
You can see unlocked GSM/UMPTS bands from the *#*#4636#*#* /Phone information /Menu /Select radio band

Don't forget to put check marks on dual sims, and apply all settings to sim0 and sim1 (see attachment). By the way before u messed things up, back up your modemst1, modemst2, fsc, and fsg.
By the way we can also use qxdm to recover lost imei, just go to 0550, and insert your imei for SIM 1 (sim0 in qxdm) and SIM 2 (sim1 in qxdm), for example:
Code:
If your IMEI was: 954091051099226, then the boxes would look like so:
8
9a
45
90
1
15
90
29
62
or also recover lost esn (item no 0 and 5597) or meid (1943 and 5598).

Need help for prevent NV recovery from you all
If it's the same as the 1+1, replacing /system/bin/rmt_storage with a version not locked would prevent nv recovery (do you know if NV values were sticking in an older version? If so, take it's rmt_storage and try to replace current one with older one, I think it's worth trying)

Hmmm, as far as I know, all NV settings, including IMEI, or MEID, ESN, etc, resides in your modemst1 and modemst2 partition. If you don't believe me and eager to try, first make a backup of those two partitions, then format or wipe the two partition inside your phone (use fastboot to do this), I'll bet for your YU, now your IMEI and NV settings are all gone.
To be honest, I just found out from this thread that there is an rmt_storage in CM phones, wkwkwkwkw, . If the rmt_storage function is trough, then CM is locking the phone NV settings from the HLOS side not Non-HLOS side. I'll do some research on this rmt_storage.

Hi there, attached is boot.img and a hack rmt_storage for CM 12.1. Just flash the boot.img to your phone and connect it with QXDM. Your phone will be recognized as qualcomm diagnostic port 903A. Copy and paste (you can use TWRP's file manager to do this) the rmt_storage to "/system/bin" and change its permission (chmod) to 0755. This will make your changes stick upon reboot.
By the way, to use all these files, you need to be on stock CM 12.1. I haven't tried it on any other ROM.

I have tried doing this on Yureka - CM11 XNPH05Q. Installed all the drivers & softwares successfully. When I startup the QPST config to add a new port,
1. I have to uncheck the "Show serial and USB/QC diag ports only" to make the HTCUSBModem port visible.
2. Although I am able to add the port successfully I am unable to see the phone number, it says "No Phone".
Since it is unable to get the phone details I am unable to proceed further. Nothing is visible/editable QXDM. either.
I have manually edited the build.prop file to make sure USB debugging is enabled but to no avail. Please check the attached files, what is it that I am missing?
P.S - I am able to get my IMEI number using *#06#
Any suggestion Guys???

[REQUEST] EFS Backup with IMEI zero IMG/TWRP

People, i'm going crazy with this...
In these last days i've been trying to make my Gionee work but with no results...
All works GPS, WIFI, FM Radio and even NFC... all but what is most important in a phone, the ability to make and receive calls/sms etc... No signal...
At this time i believe its the modemst1 that is damage some how... the modemst2 is ok and it has the IMEI...
Both of this files are at /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/, and by what i can tell their both 1.5Mb...
It seems that modemst1 might contain other relevant information for the process of registering on the network...
What i ask now doesn't requires an expert knowledge of Android.
I believe that any Android user should know this operations, for his own safe guard!
During the process THE SIM CARD MUST BE OFF THE PHONE
Changing IMEIs
This process can be skiped if you trust me and believe when i say that i dont wont your IMEI.
Just want my new phone to work again... As soon has i got your backup and restore it, i'll change the IMEI to my own...
Requirements:
EFS_Professional_2.1.80_BETA - Download HERE
This tool can be used to change the IMEI. Change it 00000(...) before start the backup and after completed change it back to your IMEI.
During the process THE SIM CARD MUST BE OFF THE PHONE
1 - Open application and choose "Qualcomm NV Tools" press ok to confirm
2 - Select the Diagnostics Port and press connect
3 - Go to "Secure Ops" and press SEND the Diag password
4 - Check the IMEI (Dec) box and change the IMEI
5 - Below the IMEI (Flipped) area make sure its selected Phone and press Write
6 - Disconnect and reboot the phone. Confirm if your IMEI has changed before starting the backup process
Process 1 - Backup to IMG files
Requirements:
- ADB available on your PC or Terminal Emulator app installed in your phone
- Phone rooted and BusyBox installed [get BusyBox from PlayStore its free]
Using the Terminal Emulator or ADB in command line, type these commands:
Code:
su
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/modemst1 of=/storage/sdcard0/efs1.img
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/modemst2 of=/storage/sdcard0/efs2.img
Process 2 - Backup with TWRP Recovery
Requirements:
- TWRP Recovery installed - Download version 2.8.6.0 HERE
1 - Reboot into Recovery Mode
2 - Press Backup
3 - Select only the EFS partition
4 - Rename the backup (optional) and press Backup
In both processes you can choose just to share with me only the modemst1 backup.
I believe that the IMEI information is on the modemst2.
The backup procedures dont have any risk to your phone.
Changing the IMEI carrys some risks... If you're not sure of this, just DON'T DO IT.
Or simply trust in me, and backup without changing your IMEI
Again, people i just can't put in words the suffering that i've been in this last 2 weeks...
Please anyone, just end my personal hell...
Thanks you all
please someone share you efs backup from e7 32GB indian version..
