IMEI changed Galaxy s3

HairyJim · 2014-06-11 16:28:38

Hi, I changed rom on the phone and like a bollox I didn't backup the efs folder, so now my sim is 0044 etc. And the serial is 000000. Also the ERI is unavailable. I tried everything but since its the international one with the exynos chip it can't connect to qualcomm tools and therefore I can't change the IMEI and serial…

Does anyone know any shop or anyone here that has a box that can change my IMEI and serial back, I'd send it or go there, preferably somewhere near Cavan.

Thanks

Try flash back to a stock Rom. See if that restores it.

This happened to me with my s3 recently. When I went through the thread on xda on the rom I'd installed I found there was a package to update the modem somewhere in the thread. I did that and it worked. See if you can update yours?
