After flashing a stock ROM using Odin, the phone no longer recognises the SIM. The SIM works in another phone. The phone I flashed appears to have forgotten its IMEI numbers.
I haven't forgotten the numbers - I still have the sticker that came on the back of the phone with the IMEIs and S/N printed on it.
Is there a way to input my IMEI numbers back into the phone?
Thank you.
Can someone give me an backup of the efs partiton with twrp of a520f please?

I recently bought a Note 3 SM-N9008W of Claro PR which is loaded with the TELCEL 4.4 KitKat firmware. The guy who sold me the cel told me that as a result of flashing that firmware, it didnt have baseband and imei. So after reading a lot, I decided to give EFS Pro a shot. EFS Pro has a option to restore NVRAM, so I did that and after rebooting, I got the TELCEL baseband and a imei
Problem is that the imei on the firmware is not the same as the one on the back label. I used the Phone Info app, and everything looks ok for Telcel except that the Mobile Provider ID is Claro and there is no RIL serial number.
Any help? I dont have a EFS backup and Knox is 0x1.
There is a guide here on how to restore serial and imei but read everything before performing the task as I read there is the potential to brick your phone if not followed correctly.
I managed to install Claro PR 4.3 , still shows wrong IMEI, not the same as the back label. I insert any sim , tmobile ,claro and it doesnt say invalid sim. I only have signal bars. Also, and Im afraid of this, if I dial #*0011 , it shows IMEI CERT: FAIL.
Any help?
After a second reflash with 4.3, the software imei now matches the back label imei!
but I already tried 2 unlock code sellers, and none have provided a working code.
Any help?
Hi friends and users of XDA.
I now flashed latest firmware for my device model (SM-N900S), but says "No network".

What i can do?
Thanks
Did you buy this phone new or used? Is the imei properly displayed when you dial *#06#? Does the imei from the phone screen match the imei on the battery label?
Restore your backed up EFS folder .
Worth trying a factory reset first and or flashing again .
I flashed one custom rom,
After flashing the rom...my imei number is not showing up when i press *#06#, also some other codes are also not working..
I am using Galaxy J5 (J500F)....The sims are working fine....

Is there anyway to do that???
Bcuz my new sim needs my imei number for verification...
Any one has a solution for this problem....Please tell me and help me...
Hi Guys,
This is my first post here and also I am fairly new to android, so I apologize in advance if I violate a forum rule or ask an obvious silly question. Anyway,I Recently, I received a Samsung A5 2016 Dual Sim from my friend which did not boot up. Apparently he had installed an app which caused this situation. Then he had tried to install multiple firmwares with Odin on it without success. Anyway, I received the phone and first strange thing that I found was that product name in download mode was SM-A5108 which was different from A510FD which was on the phones box. This probably was the main reason behind not being able to flash any A510FD firmware on phone. So I flashed a A5108 firmware on it booted up to android. But there was 4 issues there:
1- No baseband version was available.
2- No IMEI information for either of sim card slots and of course not detecting any of sim cards.
3- Very sensible lag and delay on loading apps and working with menus.
4- Also A5108 is apparently available for china region so menu was Chinese and other region specific apps was on it.
I found out the original firmware on it was A510FD so searched a little bit and found out it is possible to restore a backup from A510FD. I downloaded a backup file from internet and restored it using TWRP (Data, System, Boot). After restore, phone booted up with A510FD but once again with null IMEI and also lagging. Right now baseband version is available and device model on about section is A510FD. I know all radio related information is on EFS but I have no EFS backup right now and restoring EFS is not an option. Is there any way to fix IMEI issue now?
I can provide exact build number and any other information about phone and firmwares that I used in case it is required for better troubleshooting.
check you phone model by imei or serial from the box or from back of the phone, if someone messed up that phone is hard to be sure what model is

I forgot to mention there is no IMEI on phone's box or phone itself. But phone's model (A510FD)is printed on box. Also battery is non-removable so not able to check inside of phone for IMEI.
If there is no other option you could remove the back glass panel to see the IMEI number there is a sticker underneath it i replaced the screen of mine and i saw this sticker. You need to be carefull taking off the panel tho cuz you coul rip off the sticker if you're not careful.
Thank you for responding. Okay, Let's suppose I found out IMEI by opening phone's back panel. What is the next step? How could I use these information to recover IMEI to phone? Is there any chance that IMEI information is at EFS partition but due to wrong firmware upgrade it is not working?
Hi there! this is my first thread. i bought a new mainboard for my s7 edge cuz my original one fried. i saw that the mainboard had its imei erased and it doesnt have a serial number. i did flash it with a custom one ui rom. right now i tried to edit the two svc files in the "sec_efs" folder by changing the device id with the imei from my original board and the serial number also from the original one and i still dont have imei or sim conectivity. any suggestions to what to do?
