Samsung Galaxy S (IMEI Restoration Techniques)

[nvijayaram001]

Hi,

I have an android phone SAMSUNG CAPTIVATE.

When i put a sim card in it, i get this error "PHONE NOT ALLOWED MM#6" error and not getting any signal in the phone.

Some say i should get a new IMEI for the phone.

Can you people help me in this issue in any way.

I need to restore my Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 2 Epic 4G Touch back to stock.. Sprint settings, SO I can sell it on ebay, and the next owner can activate it on Sprint network. I had a bad flashing experience with a guy on youtube, and just want to be done with it. This will work for my phone? I see some comments about it, just not sure.

GRRRR I NEED THIS FOR MY G2X

[demoscreencast]

Arghhhhhhhh!!!!!! Should have tried this before I really screwed my phone up!!!!!! Honestly, I didn't think this would work at all on my s2, but it works like a charm! Editing hex values works on s2!! Thank you very much! Although I lost some data before trying out this method, but I'm happy enough that I don't have to send my phone to Samsung.

[ongchorcool]

is illegal to change IMEI in the UK and australia

[ADDERLY3189]

Hey did you tried with a S2? the phone doesnt read the Sim card and doesnt show the IMEI.

hi there, Q:my cellphone is nor receiving signal (it shows as if it had no coverage) this happened to me on Dec27ish and 2 weeks ago I found out that it was my local carrier who had blocked it since I didn't buy it from them. I brought the receipt and they unblocked it. it was working fine again and this last Monday, it stopped receiving signal once more. I took it today to my carrier's office and it has not been blocked by them, it appears unblocked...any ideas??

[Phorate]

does this work for s2? or only s

[MobileTechVideos]

@Phorate No it does not but we offer a professional repair at our site.

[Lisandrod182]

thanks

[gunahgaar86]

I lost my Nexus S's IMEI and Baseband to 'unknown' after the official ICS upgrade. Will this method help my Nexus S by any chance? Can anyone help me please?

[Flaw3dGenius]

Cannot get this working, is it because im on 2.2 and need to get it back to 2.1?

[djjordie]

Hey, i go into root explorer and cannot find any folder named EFS in / or in /Sdcard. This is the first time i've accessed my folders and rooted the phone recently and have restarted.

[SeLiMCaNGiR]

Thanks for the video, very useful.

[johnko13]

can you help me? I went to system with root explorer but I didn't find an efs folder...

[seanmoonwalker]

How do i get past the phone lock password? Even when doing a hard restart it asks for another password, so even wiping to factory settings has been a nuisance. Please help

[marca0]

saved nothing in \efs_bkup ... whyyyyyyyy

[aishahnagi]

I am missing the backup folder or the imei bin file, how can I get a STP BOX?

[jaggaz1980]

so if i have a blacklisted imei would this process get my handset to work

[Mitocen]

aburrido

[oblivionaj]

If i did not make a backup, and i do have my IMEI code, can i use it or do i have to get i generic one????

[Swamhe23]

would this work with the nexus s????

[mattishp]

Thanks - does this work with Galaxy S2?

[mijares3009]

Would this work on a Sidekick 4g?

[vak086]

Does this method work with Galaxy S I9100 ? 

[freshman232]

help trying to get phone to connect to carrier but phone says invalid imei



[freshman232]

error cant find phone...

[freshman232]

could of told me i had to root phone first..... -_- smh

[rgray318]

@freshman232, why would anyone even think to mention something so amazingly obvious though? This isn't something for n00bs to be messing with so anyone in their right mind would have thought the user would have known that obvious step....

[HydroKuzh]

Will This Work On EVO 4g

[mrshroom420]

would a generic imei allow me to use my captivate with the gophone unlimited talk text and web plan?

[369flip]

efs_bkup has nothing in it

[Keigik]

Works 110% to me... THANK YOU!!!!

[onlymeuk]

page is not working on your site for download the imei package that is needed for this video ?

[MobileTechVideos]

@onlymeuk Thank you for the heads up I fixed the link...

[kisfit2000]

Also I cannot copy any files to my empty /efs folder, it keeps on saying 'Read only file system' when using adb and 'Not enough space' when using Super Manager. I haven't yet tried Root Explorer.

[kisfit2000]

Hi, I have a more serious problem, my /efs folder is totally empty :-( Please help me out restoring it. Can you please share the efs backup with generic IMEI, I can use that to at least start using my phone as a phone after all...

Please help...

May I Change my captivate's imei via that way in tutorial?

[ilrobfromyou]

[ranelv]

Hi Mobile tech, I have simple question. I wanna get rid of a notification icon that pops up.whenever I get a text message, its white and it tell unread messages. I got rid of it once but I can't remember how I did it. This notification is separate from the regular yellow envelope or the notification from handcent that I use. Any idea? Thanks

[ranelv]

nevermind, I found it :-)... the option is on the beautiful widgets pack2 sms widget!!!

[xhockeyxlifex]

is your darky rom running gingerbread or is it just a theme?

[drreality1]

thanks mate this is very valuable for people who needs it,,,,

may i ask u pls,,, is there anything else in the efs folder important other than the imei?

im asking cause i didnt have a backup before doing the kies hack to get froyo (which basically has a different country code than the UK) then i rooted the phone and backed it up

so i need to know if something has been changed in the original efs

cheers

[NickHopkinsMedia]

could we just writedown our imei before hand?

[MobileTechVideos]

@NickHopkinsMedia No it's encrypted it. Knowing your IMEI will not help you restore it really.

[ongchorcool]

@NickHopkinsMedia yes you can find it on the label of the phone
