[SOLVED] [temp. fix] IMEI Null , Unknown Baseband
Confirmed working with i337 and i337m
Original problem:
Hi
I have received an i337 s4 with imei nul/nul and with no baseband (unknown) - see attached pics.
The user stated that he played with some menu from Samsung secret codes.
It's on stock recovery, download mode doesn't show any flash counters, binary and sys status as 'official' and write protection 'enabled'
Also the home screen shows a certain menu with a notification 'update device information' see attached pic.
I have done a factory rest via stock recovery, still showing the same issues.
How can I solve this hopefully?
update SOLVED:
Thanks to Colonel Sander aka Quasimodem for all the help, here and over hangout.
After having problems with QPST/ EFS pro etc, in repairing, I flashed his efs.img , this removed the home screen error notice and the phone was working normal - still with IMEI = null / null and baseband = unknown
Today he made a flashable zip, which helped me fully flash his efs,
package_extract_file("flash_image", "/tmp/flash_image");
set_perm(0, 0, 0777, "/tmp/flash_image");
ui_print("Installing EFS...");
assert(package_extract_file("efs.img", "/tmp/efs.img"),
run_program("/tmp/flash_image", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p10", "/tmp/efs.img"),
assert(package_extract_file("m9kefs1.img", "/tmp/m9kefs1.img"),
run_program("/tmp/flash_image", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p13", "/tmp/m9kefs1.img"),
assert(package_extract_file("m9kefs2.img", "/tmp/m9kefs2.img"),
run_program("/tmp/flash_image", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p14", "/tmp/m9kefs2.img"),
assert(package_extract_file("m9kefs3.img", "/tmp/m9kefs3.img"),
run_program("/tmp/flash_image", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p15", "/tmp/m9kefs3.img"),
delete("/tmp/efs.img"));
delete("/tmp/m9kefs1.img"));
delete("/tmp/m9kefs2.img"));
delete("/tmp/m9kefs3.img"));
delete("/tmp/flash_image");
After the flash I got back my baseband :victory:
My IMEI has changed from null / null to a 0 / 00 this is not a problem over here, and my network is fully active and amazingly still UNLOCKED.
I would hopefully inject my original IMEI with Z3X box service if I couldn't repair over the QPST and other similar softwares.
Thanks all.
UPDATE:
I have added the EFS zip, this works confirm with i337 and i337m
But this does NOT work with i9505 (I would not advice to flash it on i9500)
Follow all the procedures before going for a flash.
Thanks to @Quasimodem for the original zip.
UPDATE Feb 24 2014: HOW TO RECOVER IMEI
Unfortunately I do not have the phone myself now, but here is success report of recoveing IMEI after flashing this EFS:
Ziida said:
Thanks! Flashing through TWRP didn't do it for me so I installed CWM tonight based on your suggestion and it's worked! My baseband became readable and my IMEI went from "null / null" to "0 / 00"
To anyone else coming into this thread: CWM was a bit of a hassle to install, so I had to use this guide (mind their typos...).
Anyhow, the most exciting part is after flashing the good Captain's EFS file my phone was recognized by QPST again!! I went ahead and flashed the AWS .qcn file from this thread, and now my IMEI number has returned!
I hope you have similar luck, dogmatism!

edit: removed ZIP, as it carries imei number of the original provider after flashing AWS .qcn

I have a backup of my EFS, it may be possible to Hex edit it, and change the IMEI to yours, then manually insert the EFS files with ADB or Terminal Emulator

Also, check out this guy, he can remotely repair it:

Yes pm me your imei and I'll try to edit my efs files... I'll pm you an untouched copy too if you want to have a crack at it...
check pm.
I have also installed stock ROM. but it is as if nothing changed. :what:
I wonder if I should flash a custom recovery and format the system manually and then Odin flash the stock ROM.

That's not going to do anything for this particular issue. I'm about to zip up my backup and send it your way, and dig around inside the files myself. This is repairable somehow.

I can PM you my backup if you want to look too.
I have:
efs.img

m9kefs2.img
m9kefs3.img
I will watch this for awhile, and see what happens. Just trying to figure out what you guys are trying to accomplish...carry on.
My suggestion is be careful with IMEI as if you let someone have your #, and at any point that person plugs in that # in his device and hits the network, you will get both devices blacklisted from the carrier. I am hoping you guys know this.
i have to first root then. give me some time.
I think you sent your efs via dropbox link, i have it downloaded already thanks.

Yep... It was mainly just a show of good will, and to be able to mess around with an untouched EFS backup. I'm having issues finding the IMEI in any of those files.
and Yes, that SS is Slim with Halo

In the beginning, i can use my note 3 n9005 SFR as usual. But once i tried flashing rom, it showed as error (fail) because I chose BL instead of AP. And i tried to fix it by follow the instructions as Mr. Firasusman suggest me as said in the this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2614787. It solved the problem my phone can now get into the normal screen but i found a new problem. I put in sim card but there is no network signal and I also lost imei when i checked in phone status. What should I do to fix this problem? Anyone, please help me. Thanks a lot.

Check whether EFS folder is backed up by flashed rom in sdcard. If your lucky you can use backup file to get imei number back. Few posts also suggest that flashing back stock rom also get back imei. I am not sure of it. Better back up efs to your pc.

EFS is a folder in phone's file system which saves your phone model, IMEI number and lot more details, Important folder. Flashing ROM the efs folder got corrupted causing the loss of imei number. Try "radicalisto" reply and update the issue.

hey guys,
I have a galaxy s5 g900f and just today i was playing around editing the messaging.apk, when i pushed the apk back into the system and rebooted everything was all fine. Then about ten minutes later my sim stopped working and i had no service whatsoever. I have spent all day flashing different roms, restoring my efs, and flashing different modems. I have checked to see if it is my sim card causing the problem but it is not. On top of all of this the phone reboots every time the screen locks and goes black, i suspect this has something to do with the sim card issue.
if any one is able to help me i would appreciate it so, so much.
thanks in advance.

Is your IMEI and Baseband still valid?
You may need to reflash full stock firmware.
Open Dialer and enter *#0011# and see what does it say?

Yes, looks like the baseband is invalid. You need to download the stock firmware and reflash.
You can check the IMEI and also Baseband Version using Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app.

Do not flash random firmware. You need the stock firmware for your device.
Open Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app > Menu > 'Firmware Browser' to download the stock firmware for your device (with the correct CSC).

Please note that HK phone does not compatible with another international firmwares.
You said "spent all day flashing different roms, restoring my efs, and flashing different modems"
So you may have messed up with the partition structure, due to flashing rom/firmware that are not compatible.
Now you may need PIT file from a 'good' HK phone to flash together with the HK firmware (G900FZHU1ANI2).

i did what you said to do with the pit file, but that did not work. Now i think i have found out what the problem is, i think my efs folder is corrupted, which seems to be irreversible. I have tried many of the different restoring methods on google but none of them have worked.

Hello guys!
I have a big problem with my S7 edge (G935F)... The problem begins when I forget to turn off the OEM security and then I did an update to my Magisk root... When I tried to reboot my phone it doesn't pass of the first logo image, meaning that I broke the "security", so I read about that and then I flashed a firmware, an official UK (BTU I guess) firmware and then I flashed TWRP via Odin to restore a nandroid that I did when I bought my phone... It restored the EFS partition/folder and when my phone reboots I had no network signal, no IMEI... I just tried everything (I hope not) and I can't give back my IMEI and my network signal... When I try to patch the certificate to recover my IMEI via Odin in the download mode it says: SW REV. CHECK FAIL. DEVICE:2. Binary:1
I don't know if I explained it because my english is too bad, but I tried, I know that someone else have the same problem than I because I saw it. Do you find the solution? I'm out of my country and I need it so much :crying:
Regards!

Hey brother it happened with me too, unfortunately, I had to format my internal storage to fix this, you need to flash the latest nougat firmware via odin with csc including bl and modem and then start in recovery then format and start phone, remember you would need to put the google account which was previously there in the phone to unlock and complete setup process (very important here)

Download the latest firmware from https://updato.com (it's fast and reliable) then start in download mode, run odin with administrative privileges, select BL AP Modem and CSC (dont use home since we wish to clean fornat), and in odin uncheck auto reboot option, after the ODIN shows 'pass', disconnect the cord from pc, now you have to be very quick here since our battery is not removable, in order to shut down s7 edge from odin mode, all you have to do is press, volume down, volume up, home and power and as soon as it goes off connect the cord, the battery will show up and now it will be in charging state, after that disconnect the cord, (the phone is now clean fornatted and in off stage) and now boot into recovery to wipe data and cache using default recovery, then reboot phone and then log into your existing google account.
I know its tricky and maybe there's an ez way around it but this worked for me so I'm sharing
SOLUTION, thank you all for your answers!

I tried it at first instance but I could not because my Bootloader was updated to the "U2" version, what I did after that was search the Combination file updated to the U2 bootloader, after a long search I found it.
In resume, The solution is what the OP of that thread says but if you have the same problem like me with the Updated bootloader you need this file instead of the files that are shown there:

You already fixed the problem I guess, you only need to flash the same firmware that your phone had before flashing the Combination file.

Hello guys!
I have a big problem with my S7 edge (G935F)... The problem begins when I forget to turn off the OEM security and then I did an update to my Magisk root... When I tried to reboot my phone it doesn't pass of the first logo image, meaning that I broke the "security", so I read about that and then I flashed a firmware, an official UK (BTU I guess) firmware and then I flashed TWRP via Odin to restore a nandroid that I did when I bought my phone... It restored the EFS partition/folder and when my phone reboots I had no network signal, no IMEI... I just tried everything (I hope not) and I can't give back my IMEI and my network signal... When I try to patch the certificate to recover my IMEI via Odin in the download mode it says: SW REV. CHECK FAIL. DEVICE:2. Binary:1
I don't know if I explained it because my English is too bad, but I tried, I know that someone else has the same problem than I because I saw it. Do you find the solution? I'm out of my country and I need it so much :crying:
Regards!

I don't know what's gone wrong with his IMEI but it doesn't mean his EFS is deleted like the guy in that thread.
@jjoeshua check your root directory. Do you have a folder called EFS?

I have this folder, also I found Imei folder too,and many others folders..
I found on XDA guide how to fix Imei problem with Imei repair program and make a flash Imei file that I install through TWRP recovery and its not fix the problem but its a little better, when I. Turn on my phone ,I don't have GSM network but after restarting one or two times the network is back. It not stable but most of the time I have GSM network.
Do you have any idea what causing this problem, I don't have this problem with superSU only with Magisk,
Download stock rom

As you flashed rr
Your modem (basband) reflashed
Just download correct modem / basband of your mobile and flash it using odin
Your IMEI will be back
