he restores IMEI.. may be he can help you.
He can do this when you can show and prove that you have and own the original imei number. He can't "invent" one.
So you should check this first.

No, because using hardware equipment is part of the repair process.
Until now I do not know a "software" restore mechanism (if you do not have a working backup of your old efs).
And I read and checked a lot of threads about this because I have a device where the IMEI is written in letters inside the device but not anymore in the efs - I have the so-called developer IMEI.
You should fist explore your note with root explorer. Depending on the rom you're using, you may have a backup of your efs partition (some rom do it automaticaly).
Watch your SD card if ther is a file called "efs.img"
You can also look inside the efs partition if there are files called .nv_data.bak and another one called .nv_data.bak.md5
If yes, you can fix it yourself.
I have a device where the IMEI is written in letters inside the device but not anymore in the efs - I have the so-called developer IMEI.

Pssst, do not tell anybody. But I guess that developer door is closed now, since November nothing (I check for OTA updates every day - I can do the install XXLSA/restore GB backup process while deep sleeping now).
i have found in the efs folder from internal memory the files! what now?

Then:
Rename .nv_data.bak to nv_data.bin (remove the point at the begining)
Rename .nv_data.bak.md5 to nv_data.bin.md5 (remove the point as well)
Restart your phone and let us know.
ok ,i will copy those files from my backup efs folder in the interlan folder efs..rename it and i will process something in terminal?! or i will just reboot the phone?

well you are stubborn, stubborness is annoying but can lead to great inventions and progress. However to save you time shiuld you fail, you will not without an efs backup be able to fix this. Imei gone is gone, no efs backup then need Samsung or cvxcvx.

All can be done with root explorer. Just long press the file to rename and then chose "rename" and edit the name.
Files don't have to be moved, everithing needed is inside the efs folder.
After renaming those files, just reboot the phone.
so i delete the efs folder from internal memory and i did what you said to me and nothing take a look at the pictures

EFS backup question
EFS backup is possible only from CWM?
Why to use CWM when I see the /efs folder and its content during the normal phone use? Never tried to copy, I'm just asking...
Update:
Backup now done using EFS Backup Pro tool.

Which app or windows program you used for backing up your efs folder?
Maybe can ADB restore your efs folder but i'm NOT sure if it works.

the problem is not efs
Hello,
got the same Problem like alot others. Wrong flashing and the complete EFS was destroyed.
Now i go back to Stock, rebuild the Baseband and the Counter is 0. But still have IMEI NULL/NULL
I read now alot of posts in the Net and tryed a lot but nothing helped.
So my Question is, is there really a solution to build the IMEI back to the Original one if you completly lose the original
EFS Folder? Or do i need to get it to technican to get it back with a Box?
I tryed IMEI Changer App but this one doesnt work on my i8190.
If there is another way to fix this, would be grate to get a but of Help.
Thank you in advance.
So i try to change the IMEI with ALP. But ALP directly gets an Read Error while try to get the IMEI.
Is there a File i can put in and change it with ALP to get back my IMEI?
I had the same problem when i was on my SGY. Just reflash the rom through odin and fix permissions. ??
There is no bad choises, only bad results.
SGS III Mini
tenshi_xp's PAC Rom RC-3
KitKat 4.4.4.
Hi,
thank you for your Answer. But i already reflashed Stock Rom all things are back, i just miss the IMEI File or Area. Saw on the net there are IMEI Folder to flash with ODIN
so i can change it with ALP. But most of the Sites or Files or deleted, maybe false and Viruses, i dont know.
My Problem is that my complete EFS Folder was lost, no Backup nothing. With different Flashes and Stuff i got it back with Baseband, CSC and so on. Just my IMEI tells
me NULL/NULL and ALP cant get it, because this Part isnt available anymore
Can you tell me Stockrom or something i can try? Need something for an open German i8190.
Best Regards

Our IMEI number isn't saved in /efs partition/folder. It's saved in mmcblk0p9 partition which take up to 1MB. The efs partition (/efs>imei folder) only contains the IMEI key code to access the IMEI number in mmcblk0p9 path. If your IMEI key code got wiped and you didn't make a backup of your efs partition, then you will (unfortunately) never see your IMEI again
BTW : Does WiFi, Bluetooth etc. works or not?
EDIT : I found a interesting therad for you http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2755787. Maybe you can use this efs backup from this user and change the IMEI to your original one.

Yes all other Services are working WiFi and BT. Just the IMEI Numbers are gone.
But if its possible to recreate the Folder and File i think its possible to change the IMEI Number with APS to the old one from the Mobilphone.
But i can get them back if i recover with a OctupsBox or how this boxes are calling?!

There is an alternative method. You can flash this efs.img (which you find in the zip file) with terminal emulator which needs ROOT access.
1. root your device and download terminal emulator from Google play store.
2. Copy the efs.img to your internal storage and open terminal emulator.
3. After open terminal emulator type su to give root access, (your supperuser app asks for root access, confirm with yes)
4. Type/Copy this code : dd if=/storage/sdcard0/efs.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p11 in terminal emulator and press "enter"
5. Now your efs partition got overwritten with the efs.img
BEFORE!! you start this method, backup your "current" efs folder by type in terminal emulator : dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p11 of=/extSdCard/EFS.img
Please do this at your own risk!

Im sorry but this didnt helped. I think i really need all Parts back to re-partition + Bootloader and all other stuff to get it back.
But i think to send it to a shop to get it back into life.

Hi guys,
Yesterday I updated my cyanogenmod 11 with newest version doing a wipe cache first. After rebooting my phone seems to have an issue: the IMEI is null and I can't call or receive calls.
So I decided to flash the stock rom with odin, I thought that this could help, but nothing to do, the IMEI is still null and I can't use the phone
The first time I installed cyanogen I made a backup (using TWRP function), looking for that backup files, I discovered a file called efs.ext4.win, but if I try to open it with an unrar program, I see these files inside:
\.files
\bluetooth
\FactoryApp
\imei
\RFHAL
\RFHAL.DEF
\wifi
GUARDFIL
gyro_cal_data
pre_recovery.log
I don't see any "nv_data.bin" file or something like that. Is that normal?
Anyway, I think that EFS folder is corrupt or missing, i don't know. Is there a way to solve this issue? Thank you.

I tried to restore EFS folder using TWRP and my backup, but nothing changed, I still don't have Imei and baseband.
Do you think that flashing a PIT file could help me?
