After using 8.1 Oreo custom ROM ( aex) for months I went to stock ROM (7.0). But it showing imei 0 . I flashed Oreo ROM again (this time pixel experience) to get imei back but still there is imei 0. I went to service center but they don't know anything. Can someone show me the proper way to get back imei, I'll buy a Bear for him.

Restore your persist and EFS backup. If you don't have those you are screwed.

The Nokia 3.1 is a good option to get you by. Stay away from the g6 and e5 plays. Returned 2 of the g6 plays due to the same exact screen flickering and battery issues. And one e5 play due to a dead headphone jack.
Full treble support and 64 bit out of the box. Android One and it's stock beauty with a damn good camera and display. Only paid 100 USD for mine at Best Buy. Won't find a better phone under 200 bucks

What caused you to lose it? Any kernel you flashed?

Why does this happen?? I mean does the /efs partition get unmounted?? Or something else??
If it gets only unmounted, can t we mount it back using terminal or something??
Or is ODIN the only way by which we can remount it??

Press them that it is not your fault. It happened due to your official upgrade. New IMEI does not costs more than 50 rs. Ask them there names and tell them that u will go to consumer forum against them as they are trying to cheat u. Write few mails to samsung support telling your fabricated story and response of service center. Threaten them about court case if they refuse to help.
please help,i have a phone now that doesn't show imei at all and, doesn't recognize sim card...what did i do wrong???how to fix it?
Search in the xda g3 section, there was somewhere a thread about this.
i searched for two days....nothing...
There is an efs.7z attached file in imei backup thread. It mày help you
yeah found that to,copyed with odin,still nothing...
I Had also lost my EMEI.
Just went to the samsung center and behaved as if i knew nothing.
Just told that the phone is not catching the network.
They themselfs identified that the IMEI was lost and they will have to re-write the IMEI (which is written at the back of the cell).. they kept the cell for a day and fixed it with the same old IMEI.
Since the mobile was still in warranty i paid nothing.
i took it also to a repair center,but mine is not under warranty...i will have to pay 30-50 euros now......

@Srinivas - Just to make u feel better...don't take it as a serious matter though i don't know if it's rectifiable but why do u need an IMEI for..
I mean seriously it won't even come in use even if u lost ur phone(It's India)..sadly it's true !!!
As far as selling it in the future is concerned...i guess no vendor will hav any problem here (might suffer by 100-200 bucks) but thats it !!

My brother has been missing with his note 3 n9005, , now he has no reception of any signal at all, I don't know what he had been doing with his device, and this is my first Samsung did I need to fix so what spend I do?
Is now on 4.4.2
Unkown base band version
Build number kot49h.n9005xxuenc2
Congratulations ! You are now the 4 millionth user who has reported this problem.
Your prize : you can Google it.
Sent from my N9005

here is your possible fix. Before you flash anything else , make a complete EFS backup .

Its the EFS issue. I've faced (still facing) the same problem. I'd say visit the samsung service center. You can also look into asansam box like its being suggested here. Some service center around you will probably have it already. If anything works for you, let me know.

Does your brother still have his IMEI? if it is still there he must first backup efs, fsc, and fsg then flash back to stock. That fixed it for me.
So I took it to a mobile repairing center ( not Samsung company ) he told me he have to use a super emi number for the device . he will try using this and then he will call me back . it will cost something like 15$

Let me know if it works. I've had to do the same. Gave it to a 3rd party service center that had an SPB/Asansam Box. The only doubt the guy there had was whether 4.4.2 on N9005 is serviceable with Super IMEI. Lets hope it works out. Else I'd try Mirek's method of rebuilding the EFS with original IMEI.
ok here is the thing
Samsung Repairing center informed that the device is out of warranty and it can only be repaired by changing the main board which should cost something around 300$
, we tried our luck with a third party repairing center who fixed the original main board on the device , in a hard ware modding way that costed my brother 70$
I just don't know how he repaired it , but at least this phone is working back again
Hello, my G4 Plus reads IMEI 0 when *#06# in ROM, but I can read the correct IMEI from fastboot getvar imei and can see my correct IMEI in /proc/config/imei. Any help to restore my IMEI is appreciated, I will be happy to provide and test any information as needed.
Also, I can connect to my carrier, but I cannot use voice, data, or SMS. Sometimes it drops to no service.
Would anybody happen to know how to enable RNDIS + DM + MODEM mode on the G4?

Is your bootloader unlocked? If so I'd go to TWRP and flash the stock 93-14 N backup that's floating around somewhere on XDA.
Also, make sure to flash the radio and fastboot corresponding to your stock ROM version.
If you don't fix your phone though I'll take it

Did you make a imei backup Image the first time?
Gesendet von meinem Moto G (4) mit Tapatalk
I think the IMEI isn't erased. I had the same issue last month. There are different types of firmware(custom roms are based on them too) and they doesn't notice the IMEI If you flash the wrong one. So I would recommend to flash the right and if you do not know the right, try every (I suggest to test the Indian one first. In most cases it is the solution).

Yes, the N ROM that can be restored through TWRP.
By all means, also try flashing stock Nougat through fastboot.

That's not good idea to flash all available firmware. It can be old firmware and flashing old firmware (downgrade) can damage lots of things on your device.
First tell us which device you have and if your your phone is g4plus and not changed to normal g4. FingerPrint working correctly ?
Try "fastboot getvar all" command check if it shows your IMEI somewhere, and post result here. ( if it shows IMEI, then tell us and remove it and post.)

In my case I flashed all firmware included in android 6 (it's stock) from a custom android 7 build. I know it's an old thread but I'm still open to suggestions and hoping to fix this.
To make more sense, I downgraded from 7 to 6.
first of all sorry for bad english
it start when i decided to use RR custom rom and install it on my zenfone5, but i forgot to backup EFS.
so i got baseband and IMEI null too (i read that is normal when you lost EFS)
i was using it without make calls but it is boring because i have to use another phone to calls. and it's boring. i forgoten it in the bag and when i see battery has gone
recently until my mac adress on rr nougat change to another (i read that it's normal but i don't know)
so i tried many ways to recover my baseband and imei but nothing works
my recent readings without results :crying: :crying:

hi, sorry my bad english too... I had 2 z6, one with this problem and another works normally, i get this when update from ota (not unlocked yet), in the middle of process of update my phone reboot and get a much time to appear the first screen, when finnaly shows my networks is gone. I made everything and i discovery something in my research. When they (Asus) release the first and official unlock method of bootloader, in the package comes the all softwares to access direcly and update the modem and backup the keys (from baseband). i made everything right in my 1st zf6 but my HD failed and i lost everything, and the method of unlocked has changed so i think the only solution is contact direcly Asus or buy a new board. I sent for repair directly in Asusbr and they said to buy a new board and simply trow me back without answer if is possible rewrite the baseband. :crying:
This method of repair modem exist ! but only for zf5 and i try and not work maybe for you work

One time I installed a custom rom which deleted my IMEI. So all I did was to flash a zip from another custom rom that I know worked from TWRP and it got back.
If you want an alternative to installing another rom, find your IMEI from the zenfone 5 box ( if you still have it) and paste it on an IMEI changer app <--- look for it on play store. But I don't have any ideia if this method will work as I have never tried it.
