Hey I'm from india and own an i9500
bought 5 months ago
I was using my phone normally and flashed a stock rom with ODIb
the phone booted up.
The problem is that I have emergency calls only and my IMEI has been changed to Fake IMEI
1) my phone is out of warranty as some moisture traces have gone into iy and samsung asks for 200$ for every small problem they need to change the board
2) I don't think so I have the EFS backup
Please Oh please someone guide me what to do?

There's a thread on that here. You could try that, but I think that without a backup, it's going to be pretty hard to get it back up. First thing I do when I get a new phone is to backup the EFS.

Did you actually tried to flash your original Stock ROM with Odin? If not, try other stock ROMs.
There's another ref link here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2393289
I recommend you read through that thoroughly.

Yes I did flash the stock rom with ODIN which I successively used before
I read it but this is actually getting impossible for me.
After the phone shows generic IMEI.
will backing up the efs help now?
Also I flashed CM 10.
that also didn't give me back my IMEI.
really appreciate your help
and would be really grateful if someone guides me through this catastrophe.
Also I forgot to mention that I update to stock MJ5 4.3
I read that it changes the directory of efs?
Please someone help me!

Since you updated to mj5 you'll have to use that firmware version in odin.
maybe
Maybe you could wipe Dalvik and cache memory, then do a factory reset through the recovery menu. This will reset everything of your phone, so your IMEI should go back to it's real number(you'll lose all your data so make a backup before doing it).
Have you also tested if it's not the SIM that doesn't work by putting it into another cell-phone?

Sim isn't the problem.
Also wipin dalvik Cache might now fix the problem. But I will try it
thanks
any more suggestion?
A factory reset/wipe Dalvik ain't magically fixing this. If you've gone back to stock (a rom released by your carrier) & your IMEI hasn't returned & you have no backup, you're boned. Service centre (more expensive option), or ask around local mobile repair shops; they might be able to help more cheaply.

Fixing IMEI After Downgrading to 4.3 from 4.4.2
I need to know how to install my original or a working IMEI onto my AT&T Note 3 SM-N900A any info is helpful thanks hopefully someone knows the answer and can reply fast.
Same here.. is this method is works with sm-n900a at&t?????? after updating to NCUC2 4.4.2 my efs folder get damaged.. now unknown baseband and also IMEI is null/null
Please help me out
explanations
call out of the explanations and some easier. Thank you.
I've always found the easiest way to backup/restore EFS is via TWRP. Just select backup then just tick EFS. That particular backup will then contain only your EFS partition which you can restore at any point, even if your phone doesn't boot. As long as you can get into your recovery you're good to go.

Hello,
the backup system does not work!
finally falsh via odin pass, but reboot as the freeze remains on the samsung logo.
instead of bin \ adb shell su -c "-s -l make_ext4fs /sdcard/temp2/system.img.ext4 2304M / system"
* I've used it "dd"

i tried to flash the cyanogenmod 12 on my n-9005 and first i thought it works fine. but then i saw there was no emei and baseband anymore. so flashed 4.4.2 again and tried some things and, i dont know exactly why, everything was fine. so i made a efs backup with the terminal emulator (dd /.......) and got a file named efs.img (14mb). then i tried to flash cyanogenmod 12 one more time and again there was imei 0/0 and no baseband. so i made the recovery with the efs.img , but it didnt work. again i flashed it back to 4.4.2, but still the same problem. now its the third day without sleeping and i dont know what to do. can someone help me?

knox trip?
Hi guys!
Sorry if the question has already been asked but couldn't find the answer, so please bear with me ... My question is: does the backup procedure (and later restore) as described in the thread trip knox and voids your warranty?
Thanks in advance!
Hello everyone. I hope you could help me with flashing Lollipop on my Galaxy Note 3. I haven't received it OTA so I am planning to download the official rom and flash it using Odin. I have used Odin in the past to flash roms and from my own experience I know that every time I flashed - the phone also got factory reset and I lost all the data and the apps already installed. I would like to flash without factory resetting my phone. also, I don't want to root my phone. Please help. Thank you.

Odin WILL overwrite the phone. Without Root you can't do a nandroid (full phone backup) and about your only option is to get something like ES File Explorer and try to copy out all your media files, docs etc.
All the best ways to save stuff require root access.
You could also try SMS Backup & Restore and Call Logs Backup & Restore to save those out to your extSD. Also you can export your Contacts to extSD and import them back once the flashing is done.

There are things you can do if you search for IMEI lost or similar words. But simplest is probably to DL the Stock version for your phone & use Odin to flash it. That will lose all your data and apps etc on the intSD so you might want to look for other ways first.
I'm guess here but I think maybe you have a problem trying to downgrade your modem/bootloader. CM12 is (if I remember right) v5.0.x of Android, and since Kitkat there have been issues going BACK to previous versions. I think maybe you upgraded your BL to the LP version then it failed when you tried to go back to KK version.
You do not say which 4.4.2 you flashed but you could look for a v5 of that ROM and try that first.

have you solved it yet? I met this problem but dont know how to handle it.
can you give me a hint?
So, my Note 3 N9005 worked fine, then i tried to install CM 12 The phone kept locking so i tried to install CM 12.1 instead. It did the same thing. Then i tried to install CM11. Phone got stuck to a bootloop. Then i tried to install the stock firmware. It launched but the phone lags like hell, apps don't open at all. Waking up the phone takes a lot of time. And the phone doesn't recognize the sim-card anymore. I used CWM to install all the custom roms, and i wiped cache, dalvik cache and did a factory reset every time before i installed a new rom. I used Odin v. 3.04 to flash the stock firmware.
So my question is this, how do i get my phone back up and running smoothly again, like it was fresh out the box? I'll appreciate all the help i can get because i am starting to get very desperate, i really wouldn't like to tell my mom i need a new phone. Note 3 cost like hell after all.
I am from Finland so i used the N9005XXUEND5 version of the stock firmware, KitKat 4.4.2.
The only thing i can think of that can cause this problem is that if the OS's i installed didn't get deleted fully, so there would be multiple OS's on my phone running at the same time. This may be a bit far fetched.
Please help as fast as possible. And i'm not that good at these things so i would appreciate if you could walk me through this step by step and explaining each step as specifically as you can.
Judging from your post, you didn't even bother to read the install instructions of the roms you were flashing.
And this is the result you get.
In CWM recovery mounts and storage format sdcard system cache data preload .
Reboot to download mode and flash stock rom .
The last time i flashed the stock ROM I formatted everything, including the firmwares and such. Now i flashed AOKP ROM and the phone is working fine, except it doesn't recognize the sim card. Any idea how to fix that. Thanks for all the help so far
Basics check you have correct IMEI and correct modem change sim card .
I'm sorry, i have no idea what IMEI and correct modem change sim card. :/
If you don't understand the very basics of flashing and firmware then i suggest you take your phone to a repair shop .Its not a game you are going to end up with a dead phone with no chance of a fix .
I think i understand the very basics of flashing, considering i have done it before twice and on both times it has worked. My sim card worked on my moms Lumia, so is it possible that the sim card reader broke. Can flashing a rom or formatting system do that? Are there a kernel i should flash? I heard it might fix problems like these. And when i go to settings there are no options for IMEI or modem change, that's why i'm confused.
**********************************************
I do have my backup still, but when i try to restore it with CWM, it says something about md5 sums, any idea how to deal with that, because i think that would help if i could use that backup. The stock rom that i downloaded wasn't from any known page. Mostly because SamMobile doesn't have my version anymore for some reason. And i tried to download it from samsung-updates.com but it said that the download would take about 9 hours. I think that the download time would only keep growing and growing so eventually it would be a waste of time.
I think i understand the very basics of flashing,
No you don't and that's your problem this post only makes it more obvious and makes it nearly impossible to give guidance .
MD5 and cwm basics turn off MD5 check in recovery .
You cannot go flashing kernels for no reason .
Modem change is not settings neither is IMEI .
Broken sim reader yes its possible but highly unlikely from a firmware bad flash .
Its entirely possible that you have downloaded a bad firmware .
You also have a non Samsung rom flashed now (aokp)
suggest you read up on that for problems .Though i cannot see any 9005 AOKP roms here .
But first you need to check you have the correct IMEI if your IMEI does not match then you restore the EFS folder you backed up before you started flashing .
I said that i would appreciate that if you would guide me through this step by step. How can i check IMEI? I'm sorry i'm making this so hard for you. The only thing i care about now is that i get my phone back stock and running smooth.
*****************************************************
That is also true that i might have downloaded a bad firmware. Are there any other place to get a stock firmware other than samsung-updates.com?
Download from sammobile.com. It is advised to flash the newest 5.0 firmware on your N9005 (N9005XXUGBOB6) with Odin 3.09 or later.
Check your IMEI from Settings/About device/Status/IMEI. If it starts with 0049, your phone has lost its IMEI. Try flashing to the newest 5.0 firmware to fix it.

I'm sorry that i have to make this hard for you again, but can you tell what EFS backup means and what i'm supposed to do with it?
The EFS folder contains your phones unique identification code or IMEI . Without correct IMEI your phone cannot connect . That is why the EFS folder is backed up before anything is ever flashed . No backup and wrong IMEI then you probably need a service centre repair . EFS/ IMEI can be damaged during flashing that is why rule one is backup your EFS folder first .

Dude you are like 12 years old. Why do you even have such a phone? Your attitude toward the dude that was helping you was very rude.
If you don't know what EFS is, it is highly likely that you don't have a back-up. In that case you can try to flash the stock firmware suggested previously. But I really doubt that it will actually magically "cure" your IMEI. I would really go to a service center before you do anymore damage. It could be a little expensive, but at least they do know what they are doing.
That being said, I'm not sure even a service center could help you.
You can restore your backed up EFS folder .
CWM backup restore does not include EFS .
You can flash lollipop .
You can flash a matching modem .
All these may restore IMEI or make the situation worse that is why a service repair is recommended .

I'm sorry if i sounded rude towards to anybody, that is totally not what i'm trying to be. I know you guys are trying to help so i really don't see why i would be rude towards to anyone. I guess my english is still so bad that i'm sounding rude.
I think the best option now is to take the phone to a service repair. Especially if flashing anything can make the situation worse.
I thank everyone that has tried to help. It seems like that i have to accept the fact that i ****ed up my phone. At least this will serve as an example to anyone who's trying to flash custom roms and don't know what they are doing.
Oh, and the reason i have this phone because i'm a student i high school. I just started doing flashing and trying custom roms and i guess i thought it would be really simple. Clearly it wasn't.

Might be too late if the EFS partition is corrupted and you don't have an IMEI and can't make calls
There are a couple of threads kicking about on XDA S5 forums where people have managed to recover their phones with similar problems, have a read through the Q&A forum and see if you can find them, some fixed by flashing stock, not sure how that worked, but apparently it did
Read others saying they backed up a working S5 EFS and restored it to the broken one

and if i recover imei from other phone it will not cause network problem becuase there is two phones with the same imei ??
The law in most countries states that the only IMEI number you can use in your phone is the one it came with.....
Nobody here on XDA is going to give you advice on how to change your IMEI for that reason......it's against the law..... *and* as such, it's against XDA rules as well......

I did that already my friend and it didnt work... I think it has to do that my phone thinks i have 2 sim cards and 2 imeis which i never had thats why its bugged and i dont know how to deactivate the 2 sim card function.
Only for some info to you experts out there who want to help me i found out that in the king of nougat rom theres an option which says : "Stk2 - for dual sim variant" i think thats the option that bugged my phone can't i deactivate that with editing a file ? If you guys need more info about my phone i will give you everything just ask me.
Btw thanks for all you guys who tried to help me it gives me hope to recover my phone.
So you only have one correct imei in the imei information and second slot in unknown or you have no imei in both slots?

Did You flash only AP in odin or all files including CP, BL, CSC?
You should flash all of them.

That's weird. But You could try flashing G935F firmware through odin with pit file. Maybe that would help.

Okay downloading pit file right now i'll tell you if it worked. Yeah for me its also very weird normally it should go away with wiping everything but it didn't.
So now i have flashed the pit file and its still not working.

Flash back to the G935F ROM of your region, and take your phone over to a repair store, give them the IMEI of your phone and the S/N (they'll be written on the box), and tell them to re-flash them. It seems your EFS partition has gone corrupt, when you flashed the wrong file.
I know how you feel, I did the same thing with a phone of mine once, I felt like crap afterwards, don't worry about it. This kinda sh*t happens to all of us. Just be glad nothing else happened and the other hardware still functions correctly.
Good luck bro, and be more careful next time when flashing.

Technically you can fix it, but you'd require some specialist tools that cost a somewhat hefty amount and usually the only people who keep them are phone repair stores.
No matter how much of an expert one can be, without an EFS backup, you can't restore your IMEI. In older phones like the GS4, if your IMEI was wiped with a bad flash, flashing the modem twice and doing a hard reset would bring it back, unfortunately it's not that easy now.
Anyway, mistakes happen bro. Don't worry too much about it. It's annoying to go to a phone store, but just remember, it'll be a lesson in the future for us all. Always make a backup before flashing, anything goes wrong, restore the backup and you'll be safe.
Samsung service center will be able to see that KNOX is void and it's 0x1, so they might charge extra.
For ordinary phone repair or software specialist stores, they won't really care whether it's rooted or not, they'll just use their tool to flash the IMEI and S/N back to your phone.
