[Q] IMEI or EFS erased

[umka83]

Dear S6 Edge users

I was trying to install a new ROM on my samsung galaxy edge s6 (SCV31 g925j). And i wiped everything in TWRP before installing it. it seems liek i have wiped EFS with IMEI too. :silly:

Now, i have another device, so i took a backup of EFS in twrp and tried to resore it. However, my IMEI is still null.
Flashing stock ROM did not help too.

Could anyone please let me know if i can restore EFS/IMEI somehow? Can i copy it from my other device that actually works?

Many thanks

Technically you can restore efs backup from another phone.
Would it work without any problems, that is another question, but I honestly doubt it.
You could (if out of warranty) take phone to a 3rd party repair shop for fixing IMEI with Z3x box, or similar device, but some other issues (network, SIM, as in my case) could arise, not necessery, but could happen.

Thanks for reply. I guess i will have to try as many repair methods as possible (using root) and see if it helps.

If you manage to fix it without a box, please keep us posted, me and I belive lots of others would like to rebuild/repair efs.
Myself included

Unfortunately, i was unable to fix this. Restoring EFS from another device did not help
