My imei changed to 0049 after recoverimg from soft brick - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys please help me. I've been stuck for a week now and I jus cant seem to find a solution anywhere online. I've tried everything. Last week I flashed Tencent OS and it caused me to lose my network. After that I tried restoring efs backup but it caused my i9500 to go onto a bootloop. I struggled for a week to get out of the bootloop but I eventually did but now my imei is changed to the generic 0049 imei number. I've searched everywhere and tried all kinds of solutions but I jus cant seem to get it to work. I have an efs img backup from last year March that I've always kept safe but it doesn't work when I restore it. The only solution I haven't tried is efs professional because for some reason my laptop doesn't detect my phone when I want to perform adb actions. I can't even get into mass storage mode. I can only connect to Odin on my laptop. I've tried everything but I jus cant get it to work. Please help .

I assume you did not back up your imei?
Have you tried nvwriter? Not sure if it will work on your phone.

Hey I haven't got am imei backup unfortunately. I haven't tried nv writer yet. Have you got any other solutions? I would've taken it to a technician but I know they don't have repair boxes here in South Africa

*#*#4636#*#* you can find CDMA only and other types of CDMA there and I heard that S GS3 has the ability to run both CDMA and GSM. Your settings are wrong you just need to fix them

Thanks for the info and yeah I downloaded an app called 4G enabler and I do have the option for GSM but I will definitely let you know if this works
Edit: tried dialing that and it just says welcome to Verizon wireless nothing seems to be going my way haha
Ok what rom are you running

Currently running ricks rom when I go to access my test menu to change from CDMA to GSM it says menu unavailable so I'm guessing I'll just Odin back to stock again and see if I can fix the problem from there

After hours of trying I finally got into my settings after using Odin to go back to stock and reflashing the kk leak as far as I can see my settings are fine and no one else is experiencing this problem on stock 4.3 I have 4g but after flashing any rom I lose it

FAQS and GUIDES.are stickied learn the basics .
Baseband is not relevant .
You require firmware not baseband .
So this means I can flash different roms with different baseband?

1. Install this APP.
2. Go to the tab: CSC Code and look for the Active CSC Code.
3. (with computer) Go to Sammobile and look for the 3 letters of your CSC (This will be the original and CORRECT firmware for your device).
4. Download, unzip and flash it via ODIN.
Thanks for the instructions, will try it when I get home

How to Undo root and accept latest updates

I just got a phone back I rooted for a family member two years ago solely for the purpose of obtaining hotspot. It has stock rom.
What info can I give you that will enable you to point me in the right direction to uproot and sell without issue?
I've been away from this kind of of stuff for a couple of years.

Thanks for the tip, just now getting around to it.
Are you saying to go to the firmware section and download the latest firmware?
Isn't there something I have to check , like making sure the PDA matches my baseband version or something?

No, because this will change your Baseband as well.
Thanks- just take the top one for sprint and follow the instructions sounds like. Appreciate the tip! Anywhere where this download is available at a faster clip?
