[Q] Fake IMEI after flash & no backup available - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
I have a very big problem. I've got a fake IMEI after flashing a custom rom and I can't find my IMEI Backup anymore.
I tried many solutions but nothing helps.
Device Info:
Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9500
Country: Vietnam
IMEI:004999010640000/01 (I think it's a fake IMEI, so it's useless for everybody and i can post complete no.)
Tried Fix:
Downgrade Stockrom 4.2.2 from Vietnam
File: I9500XXUBMG1_I9500OLBBMF9_XXV.zip
result: No Fix
After Downgrade, Upgrade to 4.4.2 Stock from Vietnam
File: I9500XXUFNB7_I9500OLBFNB4_XXV
result: No Fix
Flash some other Modems (not all in threadt)
result: No Fix
EFS Restore with "EFS Professional"
result: No Fix
Copy EFS folder to Windows & edit with HxD-Tool (nv_data.bin & serial_no)
result: No Fix
I hope you can help me. I know there are very much threads in XDA but nothing works and most threadts are very old.
Maybe i'm to stupid... ~.~
Ps: Sry for my very bad english. I hope you understand me.
Thank You
Guys

There is no way to fix by yur own
Yu need special tools lik z3x or spt or octopus Samsung Repairing Box
Vit these tool yu can repair efs, write original imei back etc
Otherwise bettr find a gud mobile service center. They vil fix yur prob vitin 30min

Unfortunately you cannot get the help you are looking for on xda. The way you need to fix this is not legal in most places in the world. So the discussion of this kind of information is not permitted on xda

Have you tried restoring back to stock through ODIN? Download your stock firmware from the sammobile website, and follow a guide on how to restore your phone with ODIN.
Note that this will reset your device and you will lose all your data.
If that doesnt work then im not sure what you can do i'm sorry

If you don`t have the EFS folder backup up you need to turn it in for repair because there is nothing else to do about it. The motherboard will probably be replaced in order to get a new IMEI number.
hello? somebody help me? without imei null null samsung s5.. its root my phone..

There is no patch for something that is not restorable ie is gone. Have a new motherboard installed or sell the phone for parts, that`s it mate
I hope any other solution.. tnk help
You didn't provide much information for us. Not even what program you used to root or the Odin log and verbatim error messages. So it's uncertain what happened due to the lack of information.
Try writing a full, stock firmware image for your carrier with Odin and see if that restores your phone. If not, is your phone under warranty? You may wish to try making a warranty claim with your carrier. Otherwise you can look to a paid vendor for assistance. This forum does not condone IMEI manipulation and is the wrong place to pose IMEI questions. You may find a good Google search to be advantageous.

well i manage to bring back sound and baseband by flashing australian firmware and doing some modem flash over it
after that i tried couple of old roms but still imei remains "/01"
now i flashed back the australian firmware, this time didnt have to flash modem to brig back sound as it booted up normally
but still im struggling to fix my imei number as now i have a wifi phablet instead of working phone??
is it possible to fix the imei number somehow...this whole thing is driving me crazy!!!
Follow this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2567133
Same thing happen to me. U cant bring back ur Ime flashing some roms or firmware. Because Now your EFS is blocked by KNOX. After you upgrade Do not downgrade or flash older modems .
This is the method you can bring back your phone. Before try this method flash the lates firmware then try these commands.
Good luck

now im stuck with a fake IMEI and i cant recive or make calls.
I have a SGS4 - GT-I9500

You should try installing a stock ROM again and see if that fixes the problem.

Does the phone show the correct imei when you dial *#06#?
Nope..... imei is incorrect...baseband also wrong...bro...new rom can't repair...
Restore your backed up EFS folder .

Its only your backup not any other .You need service centre .
Sent from my SM-N930F using XDA-Developers Legacy app

firstly i format or del Efs folder and flash New Stock ROM...
does new stock automatically generate Efs Folder?
Was the phone new or used? You confirmed the model # in download mode?

Had the same problem with a Galaxy Note 1. It's a hardware fault, you need to take it to service, no software flashing is going to fix it.

GT-I9505 IMEI and/or EFS Problems

Hi
I search for a Solution to solve my IMEI Problem on my GT-I9505 DBT.
I become this GT-I9505 Phone with the hint that there is an Softwareproblem...
Than i downloaded the latest DBT Stock XXUHPK2 from sammobile and flash it with Odin by the same way as i flashed my GT-I9195 for many Years without Backup EFS and issues with EFS and IMEI lost, but in this case with the GT-I9505 after flashing the new Firmware to solve the Software Issues there are IMEI Problems...
I doent know what firmware was installed before but i am think that it was Android 4.4 Stock.
I flashed directly the latest stock and root the Phone with cf-autoroot.
And now when i try *#06# my Phone shows me:
IMEI
null / null.
Thats new for me because all works but no Dataconnection.
Damn...
Then I have tryed to Copy the EFS from an working GT-I9505 from Latvia with SEB CSC Code to my DBT GT-I9505 with EFS Pro, EFS Backup root App from Playstore and with an Terminal Emulator root App called imeibkp from XDA but nothing works.
Now i am at the End and need help and hope here is someone who can help me to Put the Phone back to full function.

Take the phone to the service center. The IMEI is no longer stored in the EFS partition, thus restoring the EFS will not help.
Is there no other Solution?
And what kosts this in Samsung Service Center?

Sure there is, but the alternatives can't be discussed here. As to how much it costs, I have no idea. I have the hidden partitions backed up in case I ever have this problem.
Why we cant discussed here?
It is not the Problem and help Section here...
Where we can discuss this when not here?
The alternatives involve doing illegal things, thus they cannot be discussed here. As to where such things can be discussed, I don't know.
Aha Okay and why than in some other Threads are Techniques to install CFW ans Custom Recoverys?
To install this it is nassesary to do illegal things with the Phone.
I don't understand this but thx nevertheless.
Greeds
What you're referring to is installing a recovery. That's perfectly legal, but changing your recovery won't fix your problem, unless you had made backups of the hidden partitions where the IMEI is stored. The illegal alternative is to use tools commonly meant for changing the IMEI. Discussion of how to change the IMEI, even to the same one on the device, is banned here, as changing the IMEI itself is illegal in the US where XDA is hosted and in most other countries.
Okay than i only can say that I have testes Tools like IMEI Changer but nothing works.
Than i will try to repair the Phone with 123unlock Service.
But it will costs Money and that's not the Solution i have search for.
Nevertheless thank you.

The IMEI Changer Xposed module doesn't write a new IMEI. That isn't its purpose, and can't be done in any event. But you've already figured this out.
Good luck.
Thank you.
I will report when I have tested the IMEI Repair Service in hope to help other People's with the same Problem.
