[Q] [SOLVED] IMEI / EFS problem - Any suggestions?

[SOLVED]
Took it a phone shop, got charged £20 IMEI is back to factory default!
Really happy!
Hi there!
I quite stuck on what to do.
My mum had her i9000 for a while, with no problems on darkyrom 10.2.2.
Suddenly yesterday she was prompted for an "update for virgin mobile" she had no choice but to accept. Apparently it didn't do anything (ie update, reboot etc)
However what she realised is that she couldn't make calls etc.
I've got the phone with me now, and basically the IMEI number doesn't match up under *#06# - the number is a random number although not blank nor 0000 only.
Things I've tried:
-Flashed many stock roms (incl repart + PIT 4 file ones)
-Factory reset
-Flashed without SIM & EXT SD
-Tried deleting the EMPTY EFS folder
Any ideas?
I'm thinking that it needs to be sent back to samsung (even out of warranty)
EDIT:
I should note that the phone is completely factory unlocked - she is on Virgin Mobile network (SIM)
Cheers

hey man!
I've tried flashing froyo and I just put my sim in there and it still doesn't work.
I'm now wondering if it really is factory unlocked?
So I'm flashing a VOD firmware on it (as mum did have vodaphone in the past) - to see if that works, might even try "unlocking" as well.
Might as well give that a try to be honest.
Anu sent me to a dev on here - no reply from the dev yet.
Normally the "flash back to an old stock rom" method SHOULD work...but it isn't.
That's the odd thing really.
Reason I'm thinking it was locked is simple - because with SOME firmwares I flashed - I got this password screen (attached)
EDIT:
Nop - password error is something else:

Already tried that bro - didn't work
Going to try that thing listed in the video now
EDIT2:
Video guide didn't work either - also tried looking into the XDA thread.
Still no cluk - only option is via samsung.
It HAS an IMEI but a completely wrong one.
Long story short - I can use 3G and emergency calls, but cannot use texts/calls, which is a shame and very odd why it did it on its own - if it were flashed I would have understood...but nothing was touched.
This is truly a one in a kind.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1857054
just seen this chris might help might not if you have allready sorted it disregard

BIG UPDATE:
Put mum's sim into her i9000 again - and it came up with the same pop-up.
Now the odd thing - did the SAME thing when we put it into her NEW (on stock rom) NOTE 2.
This time I hit cancel.
What are VIRGIN MOBILE TRYING TO DO!?
They are going to get a call tomorrow from me.
Note 2: is still safe - and we hit cancel
S1: was already "updated" and thus IMEI is completely lost.

Weird turn of events - or fortunate to some extent:
Beforehand: Texts, calls and Mobile data wouldn't work properly.
I flashed a VOD firmware on it - and out of the blue - the phone now works as it should HOWEVER the IMEI number it has vs the one printed is still incorrect - I am thinking of buying/getting a VOD SIM card and putting it in there - might that fix it?
Anyone have any ideas?
So baffled as to how the phone is working without a proper IMEI number, but yet can send/receive texts, calls, data

[SOLVED]
Took it a phone shop, got charged £20 IMEI is back to factory default!
Really happy with the outcome.
Tried EVERYTHING known to me to get the IMEI back, but it didn't work.
Long story short - back up your EFS folder - always.

help me
tried it on a Lumia 1520 After Setting no proxy again the Windows Insider app shows that there is no update available.
the about-setting Shows RM-975 correctly instead of RM-1089, but I think the FW Version needs to be changed too.
Does anyone know a fix? Tried it several times by now.

I'd love to be able to install but I'm not understanding well ....how can you help?
Thanks!

Stuck on step 7
Hey guys, I'm trying to install this on my ATT Lumia 1520, like OP. However, I am stuck on Step 7: Navigating to [ipaddress]:8877 and tapping the fiddler root certificate.
Firstly, I am not sure what IP address I'm supposed to be using. If I bing "my ip address", bing gives me a value. If I look at the Network Connection Details in the control panel, I get another value (under IP v4 Address). I tried using both, but have had no success. When I try to go to the address on my phone (I know not to put in the brackets), I get a message saying "We're having trouble displaying this page", as if I had no internet connection. If it matters, my 1520 is running 8.1.1/Cyan, and I will try to install without restoring it first. My PC is an Asus Zenbook laptop running Windows 10 9926.
Also, is the WPInsiderHacks app supposed to just be a command prompt, or am I missing something? And what is the WPInsiderHacks_src file for?
Please help, I've tried disabling Windows Firewall, using another phone as a hotspot, etc. Again, both the PC and phone are connected to the same Wi-Fi network. I've done this type of proxy fiddle trick with WP in the past [to install Nokia Pro Cam] without issues. Not sure what's happening now.
Thank you.

What they mean it's to turn off the proxy settings on the phone, and closer the WPInsiderHacks program.

Phones IMEI changed without even touching it

I have this problem - my G800F changed it's IMEI to 350695200123951. When that happened I had not touched it (no root, no nothing) at evening I still was able to make calls, but later that night it showed 'not registered on network'. I have tried factory reset, reinstalling the firmware using Kies, then I used odin, tried to make EFS backup and restore, but so far I haven't had any success. So I thought that some of you brilliant minds could help me, maybe there is a way to change the IMEI in efs backup file? The only strange thing that happened to my phone couple of days before this happened is that some random number from Ukraine called me, but for obvious reasons I did not answer it nor did I call it back. So now I'm stuck using my fathers old HTC Wildfire S, I really hope that you could help me, because I want my phone back.

SOS
Sorry no answer from me but exactly the same thing with my S5 mini g800F last week (end Sept), with exactly the same false IMEI, and I think I have now tried everything. No luck. Not the Ukraine phone call though!
Cannot get into "engineermode" which may have been a way to fix this. I loaded a new firmware, still nothing. ANY help will be appreciated but please nothing that asks me to add a "secret code" as the phone does not respond to those. I'm not an expert but got desperate enough to try my hand at a terminal emulator, it did not work. Stopped short of using SDK as the download is huge. Firmware now loaded is android 4.4.2 build number KOT49H.G800FXXU1AOG2. Heeeeelp anybody! The vendor is of no use either, just mumbling "this is a very strange thing, where did you get the phone....." (bought from the guy asking!!)

Warranty service restored the original IMEI

Just couple of days ago got my phone back from warranty and they fixed it (thought they wouldn't since it was rooted), so I would suggest doing the same thing. At the warranty center I had to explain my problem for about 30 minutes, because they believed that phone couldn't change its IMEI. Also you could try other service centers, because some of them said that they could fix this problem for about 30-50 EUR. I believe the only thing that could help otherwise is something like the z3x box, but it would be more expensive as it costs 100+ USD.

If you download the original stock firmware you can flash the IMEI number back to the phone

:S
No solution has been under warranty , the pochaine time to think about backup your EMEI

Yes yes
there is a backup somewhere between all my external hard drives, memory sticks, cloud servers... And i can't find it, too long ago and too many passwords!! But, no use telling me now to make a "pochaine" backup. I will try the reflash to older version suggestion, and see whether that gives me access to the required features. If not, it is the mountain to climb, of getting to the samsung "support" to tinker with the phone. Glad you you are sorted sunciks. A person from xda did contact me, so lets see if that bears fruit.

A back up of your phone? I would suggest just making a new back up because it's less time consuming.

You are going to have to be patient with an old person here. Making a backup of the current situation? Will it not just copy the existing false IMEI and replace on restore? Please be specific, step by step, as you would for a kid. Regards

Nope it shouldn't. The IMEI number is installed with the firmware. So if you back it up and factory reset, it should fix it.

If factory reseting doesn't work, then I suggest flashing the firmware manually.

No, I mean downloading the firmware upgrade. It will download the new files but not install. This was long ago. Right now I get to tools to upgrade and initialise and get the message "does not support initializing" I give up!

No don't give up, just download the firmware and flash it with ODIN. If you need my to explain that, leave me an email and I'll send you the instructions.

What you propose was the second thing I did. The first was doing a factory reset with the older version of the firmware (what the phone came out with). Neither steps worked. The firmware I flashed was (Build number) KOT49H.G800FXXU1AOG2. Which btw Kies indicates as the latest version.

After trying to install twrp and root, can't do anything with phone

I'm new to all of this so I tried to follow a tutorial I just found online. The tutorial was on the androidexplained website.
I followed everything and at the end the phone turned on and I was going through the set up. But it got stuck on the looking for updates part. I tried restarting the phone and now it won't even turn on. It only shows a message that says "Only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed.
I can access download mode by holding down the vol. down and bixby buttons and plugging the usb cable into a pc, but I can't do anything after that. I tried redoing the thing with odin again, but it shows "Fail".

you should search on xda instead of on random sites.
1- learn to differentiate the different note 9 models
2- once you have learned this skill, apply the appropriate fix:
2.a-either flash back stock if you are on a north americian model
2.b-continue rooting process accordingly by following the Dr. ketan root oem fix in the guides section of this forum if you are on an international variant.
2.c-if you have a Chinese or south American version, head on over to the snapdragon rom development section.
how to achieve the above is all documented. just search and read the available info on xda.

Thanks for the help everyone, I downloaded the official ROM and flashed it with odin and my phone's working perfectly fine!

Huawei Mate 20 HMA-L29C605 Firmware Updating

I live in the United States and have not been able to update my Mate 20. I download a firmware updater (MT Projects) on the phone but I am very confused about how to do the update. The options they mention don't seem to appear as they say. Has anyone done this and willing to help me out?
Thanks RiverFR

Your best bet is to purchase a Chinese SIM off amazon (13 to 18$) and turn on the phone with it in place of your carrier sim. Then check for an update with your WiFi on... Its how I got mine to 10.1.0.248.

Mt Projects was awesome back in the day but the current MTProject doesn't work with EMUI 9 and above unless you want to go into your WiFi router and change settings and some other crap. There is simpler way... See my other post.

I have a (half?) bricked Mate 20. The system doesn't boot, but fastboot mode works, "fastboot devices" command recognized the device. I've downloaded the appropriate update_full_base.zip firmware file. How can I flash this?

Mate 20 HMA-L29 user here and I'm stucked on EMUI 9. No updates on my phone until now. Please help me get emui 12.
