[@TheGusdiaz100]

For several days I had been looking for this solution, Thanks worked well now there is service and signal.

[@MrMarkbiker1]

This is 1 of the clearest and easy to follow videos I have found, for fixing a mobile phone, just wondering if this person, or someone similar, does a video like this, for changing the IMEI number on a Samsung S6 Edge ???????

[@dannyrvarela]

Will this fix blacklisted phones like my galaxy s5

[@waghprasad]

For Samsung S3: *#0011# Menu > Back Menu > keyInput "Q" Menu > keyInput "0000" Wait for few seconds Might work for other phones as well.

[@ryanevans9734]

How do I enter q?

[@irfiandy]

iT work for me! :D will in fact i have IMEI number but ironically no network available it shows emergency calls only.. i have already tried all the possible solution to fix this problem i even done factory reset three times.. and then watched this vid finally it fix.. :D thank you so much.. :)

[@liamatkins3013]

People when you root, and flash a custom recovery, when you click backup before you backup your ROM, just put a check mark on EFS and back it up!!!! Copy the EFS backup of the computer to a safe place. When this happens, no IMEI, nul IMEI all you have to do is restore the EFS backup you made and you will have IMEI again. You guys should read up on stuff before messing with your phones!!

[@techno-gamer4083]

Liam Atkins good advice..you should listen to what the man sai's.make a backup for everything

[@dougmpage]

Liam Atkins any suggestions on how to fix my EFS partition as it got corrupt just doing a factory reset ( I did not flash a ROM) IMEI# Nul & service menu empty! Any help would be appreciated!

[@liamatkins3013]

Douglas Page​ strange the way it corrupt by doing a factory reset..its things like this that keep me a way from Samsung, I like to mod and mess with my device... Samsung know this and put the EFS partition In a stupid place in the system... To avoid warranty claims... Bastards! Back to your post... Are you rooted? Stock, or custom ROM?

[@dougmpage]

Factory Rom 4.4.4 But just rooted the device with odin. (Note 4 SH-N910w8 Koodo in Canada)

[@liamatkins3013]

Douglas Page Ok.. I presume this IMEI wipe happened when factory resetting in stock recovery... If you are rooted, can you use a file explorer that can get to the root of the device and navigate to the EFS folder? It should be on the root of the device..

[@beast_machine]

[@geojohnson8808]

Does anyone know what to do if the service mode is blank with no options? ???

[@yolady712]

i know i got this unforntuneatly?

[@saltiresnake1044]

When I do the IMEI number check, it doesn't have a number or say "Null". It's just blank. And when I bring up service mode, "COMMON" is option 3, not 6 (Maybe a different firmware), but most importantly, there is no FTM option. My phone is a Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830i, and the firmware is "Android version 2.3.6"

[@TheSmith645]

Saltire Snake did you find any solution? i have the same problem n same handset

[@stillwiggin3805]

thank you for your time and work .it is very much appreciated. ..

[@curvatious]

No worries. There should be a sticker on your phone, it should be on the outside. It is a very very small one. I found mine on the top of my phone, and it told me my phone was 3G HSDPA, which tells me what type of network I need when I am in those phone settings. I am not sure where yours would be, but look for the sticker. Hope that helps.

[@ChristopherFernando]

*#197328640# ain't working here..

[@curvatious]

just look online what your service number is. It is not the same for ALL phones, but generally it is.

[@ChristopherFernando]

yeah, i figured it out.. its a small software i came up with.. it helped :)

[@ahseniqbal3788]

Christopher Fernando What is the name of the software , i am having the same problem . Awaiting response , thanks

[@NovaDesigns98]

* # * #197328640 # * # * no spaces

[@Way2Allah1234]

Christopher Fernando Dial *#0011#

[@curvatious]

Ok people, listen to me. I know some of you are saying that this is not working for you. Let me explain more clearly. You will have to reinstall your ROM software. This means downloading your software for your phone, kind of like you need an operating system for your computer. It is the same for a cell phone. Find the software you use (Android) and then find the version your phone uses, or if you like choose one you would like to use. Example, if you have Ice Cream Sandwich and you want to upgrade to Jelly Bean. Then find the version number. And make sure your phone is compatible with this software. Once you do this, the phone will automatically restore all the settings that are stored in the phone, such as your serial number and your IMEI. But you will not have access to it just yet. That is when you will have to follow my steps to get what you need restored. I am only telling you what worked for me, because I almost bricked my phone and I had to undo all the crap I did to it. If it works for you without doing all those other steps then great. But if not, then it is likely you will have to do what I did. I hope this helps. And to get your software, or flash rom software just look it up on google. There are lots of download sites. Plenty of options available and it is all free.

[@TheYamybejarano]

I have a note 3 and did restored settings, after was done it told me invalid imei and not registered on network. I can still make calls and text but will not allowed me to do group text messages and will not send or receive pics. My carriers Internet is not working either. Any suggestions????

[@SeanGoresht]

Sania Sa no luck. I ended up giving up and buying a new phone. I have experienced the same problem with my new phone, and it turns out that adjusting the SIM card inside the slot can make the difference. Try re-inserting the SIM.

Iv read up ways to reformat it back to its original stock os using Oden, so im going to try that tonight

Hi all, for some devices the service mode command is not *#197328640# but *#0011#. This will redirect you to service mode. Click on menu options and select Key imput and type: Q0000 (yes with capitals) and after a few seconds you will be redirected to Main Menu.

[@limit420]

If this doesn't work, try disabling wifi/wifi-calling if either are on. Just spent an hour trying all this in depth solutions, changing radio frequencies, etc. Nothing worked. Decided to try all the basic fixes one more time before giving up, turned off wifi-calling, signal came right through. If you just reset the phone and never registered it on a network before turning wifi on, that's usually the problem. The wifi is always on blocking the actual cellular signal from ever connecting. After it connects initially, then you can always have wifi on.
