IMEI corrupted after flash

[hatt]

With this box you can Unlock, repair IMEI (service only) upgrade firmware etc. on allmost all samsung phones. Support for other brands too if you pay extra. About china phones, i don't know.

That seems like a really big problem. Do you remember what all options you selected in Odin when you were flashing?

my phone is still in samsung care they say the device is new so will have to send to factory or will replace with new device

[hatt]

notme: I'm not sure but I think I had debug only --> clear EFS selected. I've been told that is just factory reset, and it shouldn't affect IMEI number. Someone said that IMEI could be corrupted by buggy firmware. What actually happend I doubt i'll ever know...

Для проверки идеи с восстановлением IMEI, может ли кто-нибудь скинуть мне в ЛС
файл:

/efs/nv_data.bin

т.е. в adb

su
cat /efs/nv_data.bin > /sdcard/nv_data.bin

и далее заархивировать и скинуть
только не стоит загружать прямо в данную тему, только мне в ЛС

If you want, what I would have tried to understand where the stored IMEI, I need a file /efs/nv_data.bin
How to get it. You need 2.1 with Root!
in adb shell enter:

su
cat /efs/nv_data.bin > /sdcard/nv_data.bin

get it from sdcard and send to me in PM!
And it would be very interesting to get this file to your phone with IMEI = 000000 ...
thanks!
