Hi mate have you tried flashing the stock firmware back to you'r tab ?

you ment to post this thread here.
forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=752
you could of read the guide before posting this
GUIDE] Recover your IMEI in 9 steps.
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1264021

this worked for me
What i did to get my IMEI back was to get the ATT or T mobile modem and just use ODIN (boot into that downloading screen) and install it in the PDA section (the modem zip file)
and it was good too cgo
I was even having some issues with stalled screens and so and that cleared up as well
If I had done this before attempting to flash the stock rom I might of been able to save friend files
But oh well

[Q] Samsung S3 GT-I9300 No service

Hi everybody,
I'm having some questions. My phone was rooted and I tried to unroot the phone yesterday. Well I used many of the tutorials on this forum and something went wrong, because afterwards my phone lost the IMEI number, which suddenly was changed to something like 004900.... And the "no service" started. I've called the phone company which told me that everything seems to be correct and that I should try to restart the phone and so on..
Well after many hours of searching on Google I found a program called Chimera, which helped me out with restoring the IMEI number to the correct one and after that my phone worked and the "no service" was gone. But this morning somehow the no service came back and I'm currently not able to do call anybody with the phone.
What do I do now? And how can I get the latest firmware 4.3? I live in Denmark and I can't find a stock firmware for the danish company Telenor.
Please help me out with this problem.

Guess you will have to flash firmware of other country,just like I do.

But does that work for you? Which country do you for example use as stock firmware?

Questions go in the q&a forum, report your post and ask a moderator to move it.
A search would have found many duplicate posts on the same subject. Suggest you read the sticky thread, efs 'know this stuff' for further information.

BTU Vodafone. Works as it should. If phone isn't from UK,it doesn't mean that firmware will work bad on it. Phone just doesn't care about that,don't worry.

try use mobile odin ?

Downgrade the latest Samsung devices is the MOST STUPID THING you can do in your life. Maybe 2 or 3 persons dont agree with me but the rest for sure yes. If ODIN let u downgrade becomes the problems with wifi, data, random reboots, warranty void, battery drains... And you downgrade coz ur phone was bad with the new android version? Come on! :laugh:

You need to do a lot more reading. I suggest you spend a few hours reading up on things before even thinking of touching your phone, everything you need to know is on these forums. Good luck.

I agree, it sounds as if you may not fully understand what you are doing. Read up on what Odin is and what it does and what you are flashing to your phone. Do not want to end up with a brick!

BRICKED G935F , IMEI LOST PLEASE HELP.

Hi after flashing a rom not on xda my phone's IMEI became erased. unfortunately the EFI backup that I had wouldn't fix either. I tried going back to stock using SmartSwitch emergency recovery. Still no fixes.
Please help my phone cannot use cellular service!
Any idea Im all ears. I tried various methods for older Galaxys around the xda, none worked.
I know my IMEI and S/N how can I fix it.

With all do respect.... I don't think he was bashing anyone....he was just saying he flashed a ROM that wasn't posted to XDA...more than likely there wasn't any other option to ask for help elsewhere since XDA is very helpful with responses from developers and others.

I was wondering if anyone that is overseas (outside america) could share an EFI backup partition with me so I can fix my phone. Maybe that would fix.

keep watching the echorom thread someone else had the issue as well.

I cant they banned me from seeing their forum when I reported the bug.

O I see. If something gets posted that might help I'll let you know. But 1 thing I saw already is trying to flash multiple times with Odin
It might not work the first time. Or the second... or the third. Try like 10 times in the mean time until someone can help. If all else fails there has to be a way to make a working imei again since you know it anyway

It was not because of unlock. My phone was already unlocked. It happened after flashing a bad rom.

write stock rom

This happened to me before in a old Tmobile S3 (T999) I had only edge network...
It was a headache and I was only able to put it back working going to a store that had BOX for flashing and do it myself with their box
and rewrite my IMEI manually during flash, as they were not able to do it (more say didn't have patience) .
I dunno if there is a easier way to do it... but this was how I fixed mine back then. But one thing is true, I lost a lot of time back then trying to fix it and if it happens me now again I would do a quick search and if not quick solution, try to find a guy that owns a box as it will literally save you days and sleep. However there are excellent devs around so they might be able to help..

Would u have any suggestions on where I could go to fix?

Quick question. What csc is in your phone now? Have to tried changing it again with a new one or the one that was originally on it when you got it? Like a flashable zip? Cos it looks like somehow the one you used must corrupt something in the efs... which is bizzare

I went to local store that usually unlocks/fixes phones, but I had a friend connection around.. hence they allowed me to go inside and do it myself.
Try to search 1st around if there is a solution, as it might be... I can't remember how it happened to my phone, but I was flashing lots of ROM without a problem and then it happened for some reason. There is a reason for it, however I couldn't find it as my knowledge is limited. I do remember that I tried, stock, odin, kies, whatever... and nothing worked until I went to try with a BOX.
IF you can't find a quick solution try to search around physical stores that flash phones, as they usually have a BOX and probably they might pull the S7 image already for their box... try to search a friendly one and take the purchase papers with you as most are not very comfortable with anything that might involve IMEI if you odn't know anybody.

It was the German based CSC
G935FDBT1APC5
However I flashed back STOCK which has
G935FNZC1APAX
The bizzare thing is my phone appears to still get a signal, but emergency calls only. When I #06# It shows 00000000000000 for 2 MEIDs. Which is weird as I don't have a dual sim model. This is even after Odin stock, no root.

Fair enough, I still have the original purchase, I got it from overseas, receipt, and sticker still on the phone. Even the box. at the same time i was wondering if anyone overseas, (not in the usa) would be willing to backup EFS and PM me with a G935F because I could use that meid in the usa. I have no intentions of going overseas to Europe anytime soon but I might go abroad if its oceana or Asia.
