actually backing up the efs folder wont work to restore your imei if its lost on the lte sgs 3s. the file needed to restore your imei(nv_data.bin) is missing from the efs partition.
what's the benefit of having the imei?

MODS PLEASE REMOVE THREAD, I APOLOGIZE, BUT THE INFO I POSTED WAS APPARENTLY INCORRECT.
@jasonyump, thank you for taking the time to let me know that I'm not as safe to flash away as I thought I was! I was very weary to flash anything when I heard of this problem, and I think I'll stay stock w/ root until they learn more about this odd issue:-(. I'm sorry for posting inaccurate information, but the source is an experienced user & I was inclined to take his word. Of course there's always the possibility that I misunderstood what I read in his post, but I believe I read it correctly?
@ dektoud, Hey I greatly appreciate the link you posted to follow the progress of diagnosing the imei issue! I for one am going to be very careful until this is solved, just as I stated above. You guys are great, and I'm glad I didn't continue thinking all was safe for me!
I got a Droid Razr M for an upgrade, Worked great so i rooted it, Still worked great all that day, then i went to sleep and when i woke and the WiFi would not work!
The toggle switch turned a darker gray, When i tap it it turns on then in a split second turns back off.
I have done a Factory Data Reset and then i did a hard reset and then i wiped the hole thing out and re flashed it to its original state. Still would not work!
So as a last resort contact Motorola for support and they tell me that i had rooted my device and there is nothing they can do. I didn't say anything about rooting it so they must be logging all users data. (Invasion of Privacy?)
So i am back here again, Not being able to use WiFi, On a 2GB/M plan. f%$king peace of $#!+.
Nothing else is bad! Its just the wifi!?

It is probably your fault. A broken radio is your burden why do you think they do not want you rooting? The radio partition can get borked very easily. You need to renew it.
Do my restore. See my signature

Ok, SaturnsVoid... so, first, sorry to hear about the problem. Motorola/VZ is giving you BS... rooting won't break your WiFi unless you did something or installed something that would...
What's your current system version?
Have you taken any OTAs since you had it? If not, you may still be able to unlock.
Also, may want to try using WiFi Connection Fixer on the Play Store (requires root...)
If those don't work, try PMing me... I can help you work it out...
Hey.
I recently flashed a ROM on my phone and I found the rom is full of lags and problems so I decided to back to my ROM
I made full wipe
When I rebooted the device I realised that the phone had no signal. I found way to fix it. just to restore my etc
Upon a reboot I discovered that the IMEI had changed to 004999010640000 and the phone can only make emergency calls.
I have checked many threads regarding the changed IMEI. But I didn't know what to do after all
Does anyone have any ideas to restore the IMEI?
Thank you.

my sister was in mall today and she ask man who work at phones and fix them about my problem
and he say he "Maybe" can fix it for $27 on his lab
what should I do? :crying::crying:
I think that you have 2 options:
1. Is necessary to find efs backup (efs.img) from similar phone and to restore it in your phone. Too qcn file from similar phone will be necessary to you. Then you need to write your IMEI into this qcn file and after that to load this qcn the file into your phone. It will return your IMEI and communication, but you will have someone else's serial number in your phone.
2. Phone repair in official service
You see EFS is unique to each handset, lose it & only Samsung can restore it. I'm almost certain that guy will fail.
Anyway since you got nothing to lose flash pit files circulating around for your model/version & see it will work.
i hate to say this but you're in deep **** my friend
i just hope you have a full image recovery backup or a valid warranty from samsung.
i experienced that before from my s2 and i didnt recovered my IMEI so i sent it to a cellphone technician. he managed to fix it tho so i m thankful
try to go to your nearest trusted cellphone shop and ask there if they have anything to flash it.

0049 is a Test IMEI.
Your best bet is to head for a Samsung Service Center, preferably with the original box. (and the receipt if you've got one) They've got hardware that can re-insert your IMEI quickly enough.
Risk!

Is this work with G5?
Can you explain it more detailed?
I've got an unlocked G4 with TWRP running. How to reset the phone to default? Are these steps OK?
- Add my original IMEI to your orjinalg4.qcn
- Execute commands from commands.txt
- Run QPST and flash orjinalg4.qcn
What about TWRP afterwards? Is it gone?

Nowhere in his instructions did I see him flash a stock recovery image.
I presume this will work to Re-Lock the bootloader. But you would want to flash all stock images first rather than be stuck with a Locked device that will not boot your Unsigned Partitions.
But as I think, you can flash stock ROM with KDZ&TOT after this re-lock.
Well...could this IMEI change (assuming it works) be used to unlock the bootloader? Also I'm pretty sure this is illegal.

This prodecure does have nothing to do with recovery (twrp), so NO, it will stay. This is just a trick (imei change). Ok, changing imei is illegal we ALL know that, but original imei will be written back after.
Any test subject?
Playing with imei is not dangerous at all if you know what you are doing. People who are not brave enough, just fallow this guide to backup your QCN first, then you are ready to test this..

Also (if possible) could someone include all the necessary files & give any details on the firmware (i.e. Pros or Cons)..

Keep in mind there's also a lot in here that doesn't pertain especially if you don't need root so be careful people, this as Mag says is for Verizon but the process is the same just make sure you have the T-Mobile files if on T-Mobile. You can download at SamMobile I have a SM-G935T which is now a G35U with the new modem APK1 and have wifi calling and VOLTE in my mobile network settings and ZERO bloat which is why U firmware is desired. It doesn't have any carrier bloat because it's not for any carrier so none have installed all their bloat so it's very fast. You will lose root and everything but can redo it and reroot also.. just make sure you're getting the right files and not flashing VZW on to T-Mobile etc etc. I ALMOST did then realized lol. I Got excited. I was never going to root so none if that mattered but I tried it and after all the suggested tweaks and fixed it still ran unacceptable for me so I'm not rooted at all now. Too buggy and too many weird FCs and errors/bugs so I factory rest and flashed U and new modem and my phone has never been faster even when rooted and CPU setting tweaked etc. (Too many bugs as stated)

No because you're flashing an official firmware not a rom. No root and won't trip Knox as other have reported. This is true for all variants since it's an official firmware.

Prob not. Many people including me have done ALL of the post root modifying to make it run better when rooted with very little success. I tried every single post root method to try and get it stable and nothing made a difference and if it did it sure wasn't stable anyways. So bad that I Reodined the entire thing and started fresh and didn't root. The root is very unstable and simply not worth it. I don't need root for anything I care about anyway and my S7 Edge is plenty fast. and running the U firmware there's no bloat except like 2-3 apps which I can live with and that was one major reason to root anyway (to delete the bloat) so meh to root for me.... If you read back many have reported this. I don't need nor want root and when I saw how bad it ran I immediately re did it all. Now it's lightning fast, I get amazing LTE speeds because if the APK1 MODEM and I'm in one if the 319 cities supporting the 4x4 MIMO LTE that the APJ1 Takes advantage of. My LTE is faster than most people's wifi. So I recommend d regarding the Odin and forgetting about root. It's just too buggy and I'm by no way a noob. Been here fir 10 years so I know what I'm doing and I couldn't get it stable enough even applying every single post root suggestion. It ran like crap and wasn't even usable unfortunately. No offense to the root team whatsoever they achieved root and kudos to them it's just not established enough to be a daily driver sorry to say.
My latest LTE speed abiut 20 mins ago. Not wifi....LTE..LOL it's amazing if yoyre in T-Mobile and you're in one if the cities supporting it. I imagine everywhere in the US will sooner or later it most cities. It's relatively new but I'm getting speeds unheard of. Before this I was getting like 10 mbps download and 8 Mbps upload
Not it's more like 6p-70 and 40-70 depending in where in my city I am. It varies deoending on how close to towers and what not you are if course. But damn it's fast.. wow

is there a way to install this U firmware and then simply root it and not install all the other junk? I love it running U stock with the new modem because it HAULS ass, but I want to root so I can edit the build.prop and since you have to be rooted that's hay I ask. But the root causes all kinds of issues and post -root stuff needs to happen to get it even stable which none worked for me, a few did but it ran horrible so I immediately returned to stock and redid the U firmware. so is the something like a way to just root for file access only without it modifying anything else? I doubt it but don't know much abut the U firmware except it runs amazing until rooted at least from everything I'm reading. a couple peeps claim there's is running amazing even rooted but I have doubts...mine ran like total crap even after applying all the tweaks and kernel settings with Trickster and the like (which I know how to use very well and bought it and have owned and used it for years....any ideas? I want to edit the lcd from 640 to about 580 is all and don't want to root if it's going to bork everything up again...

I will settle for just rooting my S7, I was hopping someone would be kind enough to point me to the correct files needed to ROOT my phone and maybe a small odin walkthrough.
Phone info:
Galaxy S7 SM-G935T 6.0.1
Baseband G935TUVU4APK1
Build Number MNB29M.G35TUVU4APK1
Also ... what about TWRP support ? I want to be able to nandroid backup. Is there a version of TWRP out yet for the S7 ?
Thanks all !!

Hi? Is it possible to downgrade to PB5 from the U firmware? I learnt latest stock got bootloader locked, so can't downgrade
faslane said:
is there a way to install this U firmware and then simply root it and not install all the other junk? I love it running U stock with the new modem because it HAULS ass, but I want to root so I can edit the build.prop and since you have to be rooted that's hay I ask. But the root causes all kinds of issues and post -root stuff needs to happen to get it even stable which none worked for me, a few did but it ran horrible so I immediately returned to stock and redid the U firmware. so is the something like a way to just root for file access only without it modifying anything else? I doubt it but don't know much abut the U firmware except it runs amazing until rooted at least from everything I'm reading. a couple peeps claim there's is running amazing even rooted but I have doubts...mine ran like total crap even after applying all the tweaks and kernel settings with Trickster and the like (which I know how to use very well and bought it and have owned and used it for years....any ideas? I want to edit the lcd from 640 to about 580 is all and don't want to root if it's going to bork everything up again...
TIA

Follow the instructions in the O.P. of the post-root issues *exactly*. Don't skip anything and don't add anything. Trickster is not listed in it. I followed it exactly and my rooted U just plain smokes!

The answer to both of these is that since the bootloader is locked, you can't install custom recoveries which makes custom Roms a lot harder (but not impossible!) There's two that are in the Roms subforum (TEK and Echoe) but I've personally found stock U firmware + root to be the fastest/most stable.

Is your reason for "have to have root" for a specific reason or no? This root us really laggy and buggy as hell so if I were you I wouldn't do it. There's no Roms really. Well two I think but it's going to be more if a headache than the benefit of root. No one "has" to have root. What do you need that's so important by rooting. That's silly....

Please provide more info what phone are you flashing. Where did you get the files, are you flashing the home CSC or other one what's exactly happening. Fail is too vague to help you fix.

I'm not sure bud. I LOVE the U firmware and the APK1 modem for Tmobile have made my LTE VERY fast and the U firmware as well with ZERO bloat. I wouldn't downgrade anyway but can't answer your question, I simply don't know. Are you on ATT or something? I haven't heard of that firmware even...but I've been on Tmobile for about 6 years or so...
