Samsung Vibrant IMEI messed up, Help!

[memnom]

Hello folks,,

Me got a Samsung Vibrant one SlimICS rom and wanted to upgrade to version 4.2, This is what i did:

• Odin'd back to Stock JFD [with repartition checked]
• Installed CM9 as base.
• Installed Slimrom 4.2
• Now my IMEI is 000444xxx instead of 355500xxx
• I again Odind back to stock but no changes in the IMEI

I do have a backup of the original EFS folder and have tried a lot of methods suggested in the net but none seem to work. If anyone could throw some light on this it'll be of great help.

If you have the backup of the original EFS folder, you should be safe and I don't see a reason why cn't you get back your original IMEI. Please try a stock ROM (2.2 or 2.3) root it and restore the backed up EFS folder. That should work. Remember to take a backup of your "backed up" EFS folder to your PC as many one click stock packages are full wipe and wipe even your sdcard. If you still fail and you are from Mumbai, please let me know, I can help.

As suggested, ODIN back to Froyo and do the restoration of EFS.
