IMEI null and Service mode blank

[Papote13]

I just got a Samsung Galaxy Active SGH-I537. Trying to unlock it, I messed up the IMEI and am now getting the IMEI Null error message. I cannot get to the Service Mode, because it is blank. Is there a workaround?

I tried to follow the directions fom here to fix the IMEI with QPST, but get "No phone connected" everytime.
I also tried this one, but will not find phone in DM mode. My Samsung Galaxy SGH-I537 does not open the Phone Util when I hit *#7284#. I found that *#0808# works to set the USB mode to RMNET+DM+MODEM.
The COM port is correct.

I acquired this from Aptoide app store I'm not sure if it works or not but if it does it should help you

What were you doing to unlock it?

It sounds like my i337. It's IMEI and baseband read null or unknown, and QPST wouldn't recognize any device.

Though this didn't fix mine, it was recommended to me that you could reflash the full firmware update through odin once or twice in the hope that it manages to repair or replace whatever damaged files you have.

Failing that you can flash the efs from another phone of the same model. On the S4 forum that helped some people restore their baseband and turn their null/unknown IMEI into "0 /00" which was actually useable. The danger with that is it seems your IMEI might be gone for good using that method, and require an illegal hack to try to re-inject your old IMEI (if that will even work).

Sorry I don't have anything better for you. Keep searching and post if something works for you!

The same thing happened to me when trying to unlock the i537. After some research, it appears that there exists a bug that causes the null IMEI when one enters the *#9090# menu. Too bad I found out too late.

samsung galaxy s4 active - lost EMEI

Can I ask what method you tried to unlock the IMEI?

do you ever get the EMEI fixed? I did the exact same thing by trying to unlock it.
Did you download the Odin software many people to refer to?

I wound up getting my IMEI repaired by a gentleman using a z3x box. Since I was already rooted it took him about 5 minutes to do xD
