Before giving an answer we're going to need a little more information. What steps did he do prior to losing his IMEI, did he flash a custom rom, custom radio, or did it just magically vanish?

custom roms cannot generate your IMEI ..
What caused you to lose it? Any kernel you flashed?

Why does this happen?? I mean does the /efs partition get unmounted?? Or something else??
If it gets only unmounted, can t we mount it back using terminal or something??
Or is ODIN the only way by which we can remount it??

Press them that it is not your fault. It happened due to your official upgrade. New IMEI does not costs more than 50 rs. Ask them there names and tell them that u will go to consumer forum against them as they are trying to cheat u. Write few mails to samsung support telling your fabricated story and response of service center. Threaten them about court case if they refuse to help.
please help,i have a phone now that doesn't show imei at all and, doesn't recognize sim card...what did i do wrong???how to fix it?
Search in the xda g3 section, there was somewhere a thread about this.
i searched for two days....nothing...
There is an efs.7z attached file in imei backup thread. It mà y help you
yeah found that to,copyed with odin,still nothing...
I Had also lost my EMEI.
Just went to the samsung center and behaved as if i knew nothing.
Just told that the phone is not catching the network.
They themselfs identified that the IMEI was lost and they will have to re-write the IMEI (which is written at the back of the cell).. they kept the cell for a day and fixed it with the same old IMEI.
Since the mobile was still in warranty i paid nothing.
i took it also to a repair center,but mine is not under warranty...i will have to pay 30-50 euros now......

@Srinivas - Just to make u feel better...don't take it as a serious matter though i don't know if it's rectifiable but why do u need an IMEI for..
I mean seriously it won't even come in use even if u lost ur phone(It's India)..sadly it's true !!!
As far as selling it in the future is concerned...i guess no vendor will hav any problem here (might suffer by 100-200 bucks) but thats it !!

Unfortunately there is not a lot you can do if you haven't got a back up of your EFS partition.
Before you flash ROMS on your phone it is always HIGHLY recommended to make a backup of your EFS.
IF you haven't backed your EFS up then a service centre is the only fix.

bad flash -------> corrupted efs
flash stock rom, if you are lucky, you will be ok (some users report that it works, but i doubt)
if not, you have service center
Your efs is not delected when you flash this with cwm .......install a other Rom ........the libs in the Rom are coruppted !!! Test it...
Service omg really guys?ZachariasErsa able to run my Rom.Just flash Baseband MGA two times and reflash rom.This things happend when people move from old baseband to new baseband.

Yours is a different issue. In your case the SIM card slot may have malfunctioned. Fortunately it's easily replaced. But you might want to roll back to stock first and see if the SIM is detected.
Finally, pay attention to dates. You revived a thread that's been dead for 7 years now, rather than making a new one.
Hi everyone, I have a huge problem in my hands and wanted some guidance from you guys.
Recently I bought the GT-I9505 in the US and then I moved back to Brazil, once I got here I got an update OTA from 4.2.2 to 4.
After this update my network signal was gone , then after some research I found out that my IMEI number is lost. When I dia *#06# it appears that the IMEI is Null. My question is , is there any way of fixing it or is my phone gone forever? If I send it to mobile phone service is it possible that they fix it?
Thanks in advance guys... This forum is incredibly helpful
i am also having the same problem, after updating from 4.2 to 4.3 imei null and baseband unknown. i will let u know if i found some thing, i am trying to fix from last month, still no luck

Check what ver do you have now. You can download the latest firmware from your country on Sammobile then flash again via odin. after flashing try to clear data and cache on recovery. Hope it fixes your problem.

hmmm... im afraid your phone are useless now..
btw, i have read somewhere that there is a way to recover your IMEI but i cant remember where it is.
Try to connect your phone from the KIES program in a mode of emergency restoration of firmware by Model phone type and Serial Number of the phone. This may take several hours. To do this, you need a good internet.

Always do backups!!
You need to go read this . From experience you're going to probably have to repartition your phone, but if you follow the steps, it works. I've done it twice now on a gs4 active and a gs3.
Good luck

Can't blame that one on xda. Lol
I'm researching a couple things i thought of, but the biggest thing i hope you learned is to have a backup of your efs somewhere safe, and anyways do backups before you do any rom changes or mods.

We need more information. What were you doing with your cellphone before this happened? Flashing something? If so, what?
Verify your phone is the model number you stated by removing the battery and checking the label.
Also make sure your pc drivers are good, that's one of the most common issues with Odin detection

Something had to have gone really wrong for this to happen so I think maybe it's been flashed to the wrong place and has screwed something else up..
I doubt there's a way to repair this without the help of a qualified technician however
