I have the same problem. ..but anything I tried any way and mod but the problem is 5.1.1 firmware I can't downgrade on 5.0.2 to get full root access and to flash new imei on 5.1.1 not have root access with stock kernel. ...

You have bricked imei number. ..the imei you have is the same imei of my phone. ..get the imei and flash it or contact any custom service. ..

How do i flash imei,could you point me in the right direction,im on 5.0.2
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evonc:
Only way to flash it back would be if you made a backup of the EFS partition when you first rooted/installed recovery. The EFS partition contains all the IMEI data which is unique to your phone and flashed at the factory. Since you corrupted it, the only way to restore it would be to flash the EFS backup if you made it or send it back to Samsung for service. AFAIK there isn't a way to recover lost IMEI's if the EFS partition has been corrupted/wiped.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] morgan1202:
That's ducks really badly
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evonc:
Yeah. I suggest sending it back for repairs and when you receive the new one, root and do a backup of the EFS partition after root. There are several guides online on how to do a backup of EFS using adb/terminal emulator. Keep this backup in a safe location and don't lose it.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zanna:
You can flash what you want now, nothing will help you. Your EFS partition is gone and without this specific backup you cannot restore the IMEI number. Send the phone to Samsung, they can generate the IMEI number and restore the entire phone.

[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mythos234:
Is that actually legal? I'd send it to Sammy and get it properly fixed, rather than putting up with some dubious services. What if you want to sell the phone later? Have fun explaining why updating to 5.1.1 won't work. I wouldn't ever buy a phone if I heard that someone changed the IMEI. Changing the IMEI is usually associated with a stolen device.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pister:
I had the same problem (but IMEI dissapeared), when I flashed 5.0.2 didn't work. But Then flashed 5.1.1 and it worked. Try this. You will loose root.

[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orangekid:
A little thread clean up..

Regardless of any random claims by some random website, changing IMEI to another phone's IMEI is not legal in the US, and we do not allow such on these forums for that reason.

I feel for you, I have borked my EFS more than once, but always had a backup.

You can try to reflash stock multiple times, you can try to RMA the device, etc, This is why you ALWAYS BACK UP EFS FIRST no matter what. There might be a way to rebuild it, like I think you can on the 1+1 but I don't have an S6 at the moment so hard to say.

[MENTION=243716]morgan[/MENTION], I'm on tmob and that happened to me also, phone would boot up just fine and then once I opened the lock screen I would get the following pop up message:

"This phone has been flashed with unauthorized software is locked, call your local carrier"

Sorry to say you are in bad shape since there is no fix for that, at least that I was able to find and I looked plenty. Basically the security feature in the phone detects root or unauthorized software and cuts the IEMI connection. I got the same IEMI number you did after it happened to me. I was rooted and running just fine when I flashed a wrong firmware also :(

Hey mate,

I had the worst of all hard-bricks imaginable a couple of days ago, couldn't even turn it off. Auto reboot but I managed to get into download mode eventually.

Try this: Go download Kies 3 from Samsung and connect your phone, igone the compatibility or something message and go Tools > Firmware Upgrade and Initialization. Follow the steps, should work. Let me know.

Galaxy s6 problem

Need help!!!

So I purchased a used galaxy s6 (920t) off eBay claiming to be unlocked. Upon receiving the phone I noticed it was already rooted no problem I would have done it myself but when I tried to activate it with my carrier the activation went through, however I got the searching and no service issue I waited and waited even added a new apn for metro yet I wouldn't connect to network. With further research on the device I realized the imei number on the settings>about phone was different than the one printed on the back of the device and one the barcode in download mode.... What do I do return the phone or can this be fixed?

[HTC Excalibur] JayRayMee.NL:
Hi people,

My HTC S620 suddenly stopped synchronising with my Windows Vista notebook using the Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1.

I also have a HTC X7500 which I also sync with the same PC (along with some other Windows Mobile devices now and then) without any problems.

But.... today the S620 suddenly stopped syncing. When I connect the device to the notebook there is this Vista connection sound (so the device is recognized) and the WMDC also recognizes the phone as a connected Smartphone including my device name. It notices the date and time of the last successful sync, which is correct.

The thing is that it doesn't do anything else from that point. It should start syncing by itself, but it doesn't.

The WMDC mentions 1 error: the syncing can not be completed. Cause: error. Please see http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=72544. - saying nothing at all.

Removing the partnerships on both the PC and S620, rebooting computer and S620, it doesn't matter, the sync just won't start anymore.

When I connect my X7500 again, there's no problem at all...... the syncing starts like it should, but just not with the S620 anymore.

So where is the catch and how to solve it?

Thank you for the help!!
[HTC Excalibur] JayRayMee.NL:
Update

Hmmm strange, but here's an update:

When I turn off the Windows Firewall, the S620 suddenly starts syncing.

How can this suddenly be a Firewall issue?

Everything regarding "Windows Mobile" is checked in the list of allowed ports/programs and the S620 (and X7500) WERE syncing before, with the firewall being activated.

Any suggestions?
[HTC Excalibur] stevemw:
You'll have to delete the current partnership and establish a new one to get WMDC 6.1 to sync with a device that was sync'd with the older (original) version of WMDC.
[HTC Excalibur] JayRayMee.NL:
Unfortunately that isn't the case. The S620 DID sync until yesterday. Before that everything was perfectly fine, with the same WMDC 6.1.
[HTC Excalibur] indiekiduk:
Go in Settings->Connections->More...->USB to PC

and untick use advanced networking.

I had the exact same problem, when I installed 6.1 I can't get any devices to sync when advanced is ticked. And even going back to 6.0 doesn't fix it!

[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 5hane:
Hi

I was directed to adadevelopers by someone who suggested this would be the best place to post my question.

I've had my Tab S 10.5 for several months now, and for the most part I love it.

I now have a notification that lollipop is ready to install, but I would rather not install it as I will shortly be going travelling for 6 months and don't wish to have any last minute issues to deal with at this busy time, plus a friend who already accidentally installed the update on his Tab S has now run into problems.

Anyway, reasons aside I would really like to know how to delete the download.

I have also noticed that my battery power drains much quicker since the lollipop download, but I don't know for sure if that could be the cause.

Any help will be gratefully received, but please don't get too technical. I had a quick skim of these forums and it all looks quite complex in places.

Thanks

Hi.

Maybe your tablet is being kept awake by the updater, my T800 only uses 1-2% in 16 hours while it is off because the tablet is going into deep sleep, if the updater is keeping your tablet from sleeping or some other app or process.

The free program below, will show how your tablet to use each percentage, run this overnight and post the results tomorrow.

Hi

Strange: In the Apps Settings section it says I have 27 apps running, but when I tap the soft touch button on the device (the button which allows me to close apps by slidding them up or down), it only shows 6 apps running.

Anyway, I don't see anything obvious in the 27 running apps that is connected to the lollipop download, not that half of them look familiar though.

Regarding the Kapex app. I couldn't see any instructions so I just opened the app this morning and left my tablet running all day. No idea if I needed to close apps or anything, but I have the results. No idea how to share the results here though. I tried opening a log but apparently I don't have the application to perform that action lol.

It seems like from my original issue I am now trying to figure out something completely different.

BTW my tablet doesn't appear to have any drain issues when its in standby, just when im using it. It seemed fine before this blimmin lollipop download :(
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tinderbox (UK):
there are no setting with the Kapex app, just look at the approx time you left your tablet, and look at the battery % , then look at the time you woke your tablet up and look at the % at that time and see how much % you have lost.

Do you have the T800 or the T805 as it uses more power because it has cell.

EDIT: that is great if you don't have a battery problem while it is sleeping.

Try GSam Battery Monitor, and put the widget on your home screen and it will show how many mah your tablet is using, also GSam will show which apps are using the most battery power.

I have just run CCleaner, which was always useful back in my PC days. Sadly it didn't do much to help my tablet. It certainly didn't get rid of lollipop! @@
