You have a Efs backup?

Have you tried flashing a different modem? That usually fixes it for me. Try flashing the DDUBMF8 modem, it works great for me.

I assume you don't have a efs backup but well let's make this simple
if you do have a backup you can easily get the IMEI back to original state.
if you don't
you can follow this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1264021
it has been working for many users (but i'm not sure if it works for S4) i've never had corrupt IMEI only stone dead one :laugh: (on s4)
i had the s2 with the fake IMEI but i was never able to recover it, now i can't give it a go since the last person who had it "my friend" says her friend of her has it and her friend of her says that my friend has it so it's lost case to try recovering it even though i'd like to recover it
Well i wish you all the best! you will need it samsung and their efs partitions are tricky i know they've got an tool to write the IMEI to the correct partition but not sure its released,

i flashed my galaxy 3 with a custom rom and i lost my IMEI number wen i enter *#06# it is showing all 00000000000.....
It happened with me on my samsung galaxy S.
You will get yr IMEI back if you go on yr stock rom or the rom you might had before flashing (I hope you did nandroid backup before flashing new one. that will save lots of time)
You must have did something wrong following step for new ROM.
for samsung galaxy S for new ROM I have to do efsbackup to keep my IMEI number. ( I dont know what that do and what is similar in your case)

Well to answer this quick. Just make sure you have an EFS backup before you do anything. if something goes wrong you could always restore you EFS and have your IMEI restored.
Just flash it with a same region as your phone is.
Don't use a UK Firmware on the Hong Kong version phone.

Did you just play around with your device and in that playing mood did not backup your efs?
This "highly detailed" thread might help you.

please help with note 3 sm-n900w8 IMEI

i have a note 3 SM-n900w8 working with stock Telcel ROM, but a few days ago the cellphone service stop working. it says that service is not available any time i want to do a call.
i see that the imei that shows in the phone (*#06#) is not the same that in the sticker in the back. i have read many possible solutions on this forum for those with 0000 IMEI.
i want to know if its possible to rollback the IMEI in the back of the sticker to the phone so it can work again.
i appreciate the help you guys can give me.
Good day.

Did you do something that caused the IMEI to changed?
Or maybe it is due to refurbished phone?
My my app Phone INFO > Menu > Refurbishment Check to see what does it show?
IMEI 000 restore your backed up EFS folder .

thanks for the answer, i did nothing to change the IMEI, after a buy it from some guy it was working fine for about 2 weeks and then this.
this is the image of the info.

What have you flashed ???
Sometimes flashing the correct modem will restore no IMEI .

No phone calls?

Hey guys, I come here very often and now I'm going to have to open this thread because I've seen absolutely no posts about my problem..
My S6 Edge+ is currently unable to make any calls and I don't know why..:crying: the strange part is that I can still send text messages and use my SIM's mobile data... Another weird thing is that whenever I reboot the phone, my WiFi passwords are forgotten..
Can any one help me? I'm currently running android 6.0.1 and I am considering downgrading it to 5.0.1 to see if it solves the issue...
Still needing help..
No one?? I really need some help since I've tried 4 different roms and modems ano nothing seems to work....
Have you wiped everything and then flashed a stock rom?

Which variant do you have and which MM firmware did you flash? Check your modem, imei, network operator etc and provide that info here.
Also wifi password IMO related with
Code:
ro.securestorage.support=true
this line in build.prop. I would suggest you to add this line under 'ADDITIONAL_BUILD_PROPERTIES' in build.prop but assume you havent rooted your device. If have, add it.

I've downgraded to 5.1.1 and it didn't work, I have the international version of the s6 edge plus and now I'm looking for a new ROM to test to see if I can solve it.. I've checked my imei in two different websites and on imei.info it comes clear, but the other site gives me a blacklisted warning, which makes me think since I bought it online second hand... it probably was reported stolen or lost and now it's blocked... which ise rather inconvenient. .
If I go to SIM Card Status it says "Not Available" everywhere, but on imei information it says my imei and on IMEISV the value is 01. It's network unlocked and right now I'm about to flash a new ROM, probably stock..
Hello, I have the same problem at boot after I receive the call when making a call nothing remains of numbering you have a solution? thank you cordially guillaume
Hi guys, I know this is a really old thread but I'm here just to say that the problem was with the IMEI, it was blacklisted..
I changed it with a friend and then everything worked fine..
Thanks for you help mates!
