S4 I9500 MTK6589 No IMEI No SIM

[xupunsitu]

Hello everyone!!

I have a very serious problem

On my mobile, the RECOVERY mode that came installed was not working.

I ROOTED the phone, and then installed a RECOVERY, and made me restart the phone. Then, does not recognize the IMEI (press *#06# shows INVALID), and the SIM card is not recognized.

Neither access RECOVERY mode or DOWNLOAD (I've never managed to get into DOWNLOAD mode, just go in FACTORY MODE)

Reviewing the data returned by the application I MTKDroidTools:

Hardware: MT6589
Model: GT-i9500
Build number: JDQ39.I9500XXUAMDF
Build date UTC: 20130725-131925
Android v: 4.2.2
Baseband v: -----
Kernel v: 3.4.5 (linux @ XzServer) (gcc 4.6.x-google version 20120106 (prerelease) (GCC)) # 1 SMP Thu July 25 21:16:09 CT 2013
IMEI 1: null
IMEI 2:

From the application I try to overwrite IMEI1, makes me restart, but does not correct anything.

What would be the best way to proceed? Interestingly, although I detected MTKDroidTools phone, the ODIN program doesn't detects it ...

Thanks in advance for the help.
A greeting.

Hello @matafied,

Thanks form four answer, but i tried this combination but nothing happened.

As only worked SPFlashTools, I tried flashing a ROM, which was Samsung i9500, but from here the phone no longer turns on.

Now I can only try to flash any ROM valid but can not find any ... Anyone know what else I could do?

Thank you very much.

I’m kind of in the same boat as you. Got my phone and had no service at all imei # was no valid. After a weed of searching I found info to change my imei and still no service. I swapped modem.img file out and was able to get service on edge. So I figured I would start fresh and do a factory reset and after all that I was unable to get service even after swapping to new modem.img. So now I’m just trying to find a rom to get the phone to just work and I’m having no luck. No support because of all the different variations
