juujuu710 · 07-25-2014, 18:25

hi guys... i am sorry if i am asking such noob question... but i have been having a hard time trying to reset all S3 imei to 0/00 with my spt box....

i am already running the latest version on the spt box... resetting default EFS works on every other models.... but just not for the S3... and thats for all model of the S3... however.. it dose work sometimes here and there with an older android version but i would have to try over 20 times to get EFS reset..
everytime i reset it .. the log displays that everything is done fine and all... but when i check imei.. its still there ...

here is the log..

Detect Phone Connect ...
Connect Phone OK.
Get PIT for Mapping ...
Sending EFS Data ...
Sending NV Rebuild 1 Data ...
Sending NV Rebuild 2 Data ...
Please Wait Reboot Phone ...
Update Flash OK!
Total Time: 10.29 s

i have even tried rooting phone before i plug it in to reset efs.... still no luck...

can someone please please please tell me how i can "RESET DEFAULT EFS" on a S3 properly?

thank you!!!
