Motherboard replaced by 2nd hand one ? Assuming it's not the basic run of the mill generic IMEI problem; if it is, what Gaston said.

But when i look to the screws i don't see any scrashs so i don't think that it got replaced. Is there any other way maybe IMEI can be changed?​

@The $niper
What he is referring to is to read other posts, this is a common problem which usually occurs when people carelessly flash without any backup of their "efs" partition. There are several threads regarding this issue and be warned sometimes it doesn't get resolved at all, but mostly a re flash of a stock rom usually does the trick.

Did you read any other posts? I think some will recommend to use certain apps which might help you, and also check whether you have an EFS Backup folder in your sd card some custom recovery perform a backup of efs before proceeding with the flash, if you have that you can be assured to restore IMEI safely.

Need immediate help with phone (won't boot at all)

I can't boot into recovery and i'm trying to flash with Odin the Kernel + cache + rooted UCKK6 system package from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1286432
When I put it in the pda slot (after deleting 7z extension so it's just a .tar) I click start, and it sits for a second and then fails. Now when I try to reboot it says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again."
We got it into download mode but that file keeps saying FAIL. What do we do?
Try downloading the file again. It night be corrupted.
Also make sure you have the correct drivers.

^^^^this - and if you're trying Odin, you might try Heimdall instead - or try the instructions for using ADB in here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1311081 (if you got rooted before) - that might get you to CWM again.

If I am reading this correctly, does this mean you just removed the .7z extension and then tried to flash the resulting file. If so, that is your problem because it is a 7z file even after you remove the extension. What you need to do is extract the tar from the 7z using an unarchiving tool like win zip or 7 zip or similar. Then flash the extracted tar file.
Wow, people this inept with computers in general should not be flashing phones. I really try not to flame people. But this is really indicative of the kind of people that should just leave their phones stock.

Immediate help you want? For your own stupidity? Perhaps you are mistaken in thinking this place exists just to give you immediate help for a self-inflicted screw-up. This is NOT the Samsung Help Desk. Help is given on the forum's terms, not yours. Try to be a little less stupid and a lot more gracious next time you mess something up. No one in here owes or is owed anything.

[Q] how to Root i9100 without flashing - SOLVED

Hi, for a while I'm searching in the site before ask anything. I have a i9100
android: 4.0.4
i9100XXLQ6
Kernel 3.0.15-I9100XWLPT-CL941023
compilation: IMM76D.XWLPT
I want root my phone without flashing, because I want to backup all the data and config from application before install 4.1.2 Jelly Bean. The past two weeks I read all the doc that I found, but there's nothing clear, at least, no clear for me, I have no knowledge about the process and initials you use here.
Please if anyone can post me the dummy guide, I'll appreciate. Thanks !!!!
Re: [Q] how to Root i9100 without flashing
Wt do you want actually? ?
Updated or root??
Pm me.
sorry for my bad english.
From what I understand you want to root the phone backup your apps and their data then update to 4.1.2.
If that is correct the easiest way is to flash a kernel like Siyah to get root use a backup app from the play store like gobackup that can backup the apps
and data then flash the update to JB, if you flash the stock ROM you will have to root again so you can restore you data since root is required for that.
It is best to only restore user apps and there data since the system apps will be upgraded

Sorry, but I didn´t find th PM !!!
My phone had 2.3.6 and with Kies I installed 4.0.1 and 4.0.4, but always after each installation I make a master reset, now have pass a long time using it and I have a lot of config that I don´t like to loose. My English it´s no good as well ...
So, I want to make root and use MyBackup PRO to save all the setting.
Then just flash a kernel that is rooted that workes on ics and make a backup but you will have to root again after the upgrade to restore your backup

I like the other idea you give me, the problem it´s that I didn´t know anything about, you say "flash a kernel like Siyah" what is the meaning of that, reinstall with other room called Siyah ? I don't like reinstall, just using mine make root and save my config. Forgive me I that isn't what you say.

It's way better to read and learn a lot first. The fact you don't understand anything from the answers says enough: it's dangerous for you flash or root your phone as you will obviously do something wrong. No offense.

Try to boot to download or recovery and restore your efs backup.
If you don't have one you will have to pay for a motherboard replacement and learn a very expensive lesson, don't delete something you don't know about.

Deleted EFS is a dead phone you will need to one restore your backed up EFS folder if possible or two take to a service centre and pay for a repair .
Or flash stock firmware via Odin following the instructions .

Except 1 you can't reset the counter unless you can boot to Android and 2 they would not swap a motherboard for a soft brick they will just do an emergency upgrade and the efs will still be wiped.

Factory reset or reinstall rom .
But logic says you ask the question in that roms thread they will say its normal for that rom .
jje
First of all you must be mad! Posting your IMEI is crazy idea!!!
You need to set up APN manually and it will work.
On screenshot, your IP is unavailable because you're not connected to network. Turn WiFi on and IP will be back. The "ERI" is normally "OFF" as well. Nothing wrong with your phone.

Everything on screenshot looks normal. Your APN can be fixed after F.Reset but screen will look exactly the same.
My phone is working fine and stats are the same if WiFi is OFF....

Hi Tys0n
I'm confused. I have here a log mobileodin.txt from i8190 to send to Chainfire to make compatibility whit MobileOdin.
On this log there are a partition 12 modemfs and you flash the modem.bin on partition 16 (I look Your updater_script).
Because this seems not be the same thing how can I see the partitions by-name + number please?
And what is the modemfs?
This is only curiosity. I flashed this Rom by Odin and I have Your modem already working.
Thank You
