No to be honest i tried it from xda forum but it didn't worked or i didn't knew how :/ how
i installed a big huge program forgot it's name on my pc but didn't know how to :/

See if the ROM backed up your efs folder. You need to restore it. Check your default efs folder. Is it blank?

Yes when i tried and installed an app which is done after root like root explorer i tried to back it up but it was unable to get into the efs folder gave me a msg which told me u must purchase it i couldn't back up it anyways dammit

LiL_Assassin said:
Use a thing called ktool. Back up your efs. Transfer both of your back ups. And name them different things so you can tell the difference of your current back up and the one the ROM backed up. And use it to restore the one your ROM backed up then

Hi there,
Please wait until mods move your thread to the device specific forum.
Stand by
Thanks

Hello,
Once your bootloader is updated you can't downgrade it. A major-version baseband requires the updated bootloader.
Look here.

I read that after u flash back stock kitkat u have to flash the lollipop modem as well but in AP.and u`ll be good

yaa even they also............!!
imei cannot be restored by reinstalling stock firmwares... or any other firmwares for that matter.. u should have made a backup of your efs partition before doing any thing to your phone
there is a method to create a new efs partition with your original imei
search the forum u'll find it
Oh yeah... Sorry for the wrong information man... I got a little confused..... I think you'll find a fix in this thread - forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=888193

hmmm...... this isn't a 100% working method...... but if you want you can try this.... it's just an idea .... but can work-
Following steps can help you:-
Flash Stock eclair i5801DDJ6 (It's under Asia firmwares) from Sam firmware. [This is the original firmware that our phone came with] here's the link - http://www.samfirmware.com/WEBPROTECT-i5800.htm - you'll have to signup to download the firmware.....
the password for the zip file is Password is samsung-firmwares.com
if the imei still hasn't restored then..... disable usb debugging on the phone(if it is enabled that is) and update to froyo through kies.....
If still the problem persists....just take your phone to the samsung service station with the bill and all...... cook up a story and make an innocent face and they'll repair your phone for free! .........
btw if your wondering updating through kies unroots the phone completely so your warranty will still stand as the service centre people most probably won't be able to detect that you rooted or anything!!

What is ANKWONE ???
Wrong IMEI restore backed up EFS folder .
Or take to a service centre if no backup .
But before that you could try reading the ten thousand previous no IMEI/EFS posts .

You seem to have a corrupt efs folder, just restore a backup of you have one.
If you don't have a backup you will need a service at your local service centre. Run triangle away, flash stock, factory reset in recovery and remove any indications of root or custom firmware before hand.

if i whant a service centre i wasnot wrote this
Then your out of luck if you don't go to a service center.
Should always backup the EFS when flashing. I had this on my Galaxy S1 a few days ago and didn't have a backup. Going back to stock fixed it so try that if it doesn't work then goto a service center or put up with it.

This will not come unless and until u flash any thing Custom
Have u installed any Recovery / Flashed any modified Firmware etc ?
However incase u wanna go back to stock u can just flash a stock firmware using ODIN and it will become Official again
Hope this helps

Yes correct they may not know if it was rooted or not but "Guess It"
However they rely on Binary count mostly which is "hidded in i9500' and Zero should not be a problem at all

Especially the part about installing kernel, what does it have to do with changing firmware and changing csc ?

I need to know about what I have asked in my thread, I will be very pleased.
Second can I flash firmware of g900f to 900v ?

So a little help needed.

there are 2 possibilities about flashing g900f firmware on your g900v:
1) it will refuse to flash
2) you will hardbrick
as I said earlier, please flash this to check whether your bootloader is locked or unlocked.

And secondly if I install this recovery then what are chances ? I will stuck in the recovery, then I have to redo n start from the scratch? And what I have right now firmware showing g900f on my 900v it will be gone ?
Sorry for asking too many questions.

The G900F has an unlocked bootloader - the G900V does not. If it does flash, you can root if you want. If it doesn't flash - all your stuff will still be there.
By the way - there is no such thing as too many questions

This is VERY weird. Flashing PB1 should get rid of it... any bad side effects?

I meant that should get rid of the G900F files.
If there are any adverse effects, flash PB1 using odin. Do you know how to (if you want to?)

Yes I can, but the thing is that I want to keep it, coz it give me lte signals, on the other hand Verizon doesnt give me lte. Thts what happened on my note 3 Verizon, thts why I changed my device which I loved so much.
But here I m plus one coz I can unlock the bootloader and install any rom but not sure those rom supports the bandwith of my lte sim.
Any advice ? Also uploading the network mode selection.

Now I understand the situation.
I would NOT attempt to unlock the bootloader, just use FlashFire, unless you want AOSP. Try flashing a G900F rom on yours. I don't see why it would not work
