Hy friend, have you backed up EFS? You can restore efs data, your imei will be back. Maybe

I am afraid your efs partition and imei is lost you should have a backup from twrp.
If you take my advice just go to any repair shop and they will write a new certificate files using a box called "dongle" it will cost you less then 10$ i guess without this box its not possible to get your imei back so dont waste your time and dont flash files you dont know because your 200$ device may end up hard brick and completely useless.

I didn't back it up and now give my phone for repair but in Pakistan there is no skilled and experienced technician.
They even don't know what had happened to the fone.
I forgot to take backup of my original EFS and now my IMEI 0 .
I tried some methods to recover IMEI
1) go back to stock rom and take efs backup but there also IMEI is 0 .
2) try to generate IMEI
Etc. Etc.
But I'm failed to recover my IMEI
Anyone knows how to recover IMEI ??

Hello!
It's Briefin here, [okay first a quick background of mine: I'm very familiar with Custom Roms/Recovery/Rooting/Kernel etc. And have been doing it since a long time. Never got any significant issue to write on XDA. So it's my first thread. ] Okay now the issue is I recently flashed the EFS Partition of an another device (A TWRP backup file). The device from where I got the backup file was of the same model as mine of course. So it should be okay I thought. But after that, my phone's network signal stopped working. Tried everything available on the web but nothing worked. My whole IMEI is just messed up. It's showing 0(Zero). So my question is, is there any way that I can rewrite my IMEI?
Device name: Asus Max Pro M2 (X01BD)
Thanks!
Need a proper EFS
Same problem occurred with me. Mobile networks not working. I am a newbie in this section (custom ROMs). So I need a proper EFS backup(if this works).Please help someone.
maybe you can try this one bro
Messed With IMEI while Enjoying flashing?
IMEI number is a personal identifier and if gets corrupted you can loose working of SIM in those phone. Why would it happen? 1. Probably you went High and cause your modem to get corrupted? 2. Or the Old way deleted/removed/ate away NV_RAM file...

Hello, everyone! This is my first post on XDA so sorry if it ain't in the right place.
So... What I did is manually updated my S8 to Android 9 through Odin but it isn't receiving signal and it shows that I'm not registered on network. I already tried everything I could but I can't solve this issue. Can someone help me?
Edit: my phone was working perfectly before I ruined it all.
IMEI ok, signal ok, it's not a hardware problem. I've tried configuring APNs and the ROM is the correct for my phone, country and carrier. I just don't know what is wrong. Thanks for all the replies
Try these:
Reconfigure APN's in the cellular data settings.
Check if your phone has IMEI, if you flash-all you may also lose the EFS partition. If so you have to restore your EFS partition backup.
If you flashed the wrong carrier's android, you'll have to flash the correct one. For example your phone is T-Mobile, but you flashed AT&T version.
Goodluck.

Hello! Thanks for commenting.
I tried configuring APNs but it still not working.
I'm sure I flashed the correct ROM.
I think I lost the EFS partition as you say, since I didn't backed up anything (I'm feeling silly). How do I restore my EFS partition? Thanks again!

Check your device IMEI first if it says null or unknown or something similar then you indeed have corrupted EFS.
To check your device IMEI, open dialer then dial *#06#
As for how to fix this, as far as I know without a backup you can't. EFS partition is automatically backed up in any nandroid backup made by TWRP.
You can try XPOSED IMEI changer or if magisk has a similar module.

I honestly have no idea man, sorry not being of much help.
All I can help with is provide you with this tool.
On a side note the image you put there is completely useless and it only exposes your IMEI. The barcode also contains info about your IMEI.
Goodluck.

I saw your thread and my guess is that your device is network locked by IMEI, if you contact your network provider they can confirm it for you otherwise try a different sim card and see if it works.

perhaps you need to reflash the modem.img on your device, you can get it from here
Did you find a fix for this issue? I've same issue with my S8+. Phone keeps saying there is a Network or SIM Card error on any Lineage ROM (with Android 12 or 13).
