SGH-M919 IMEI Write - GSM-Forum

tpkwireless · 03-23-2014, 20:07

Hey guys, I'm new to the forum. I was able to successfully repair an IMEI on one M919. This is the second one I'm working on and the "Write IMEI failed" keeps popping up. The phone is rooted already and Octopus box DOES recognize the phone. Here's the log file.

Hello.

What is the IMEI in your phone exactly by "*#06#"?

Try to do the next:
1. Install the latest Software version (http://octoplusbox.com/en/download/software/).
2. Make "Repair EFS".
3. Write modem firmware "SGH-M919_modem_CWM_UVUAMDL".
4. Make "Repair NVM".
5. Perform "Repair IMEI" operation.
6. Post here the result.

Octopus box · 05-23-2014, 19:00

You should select "[1]DM/DUM over HS-USB()" option.

ritmo2224 · 05-24-2014, 20:51

if i put the phone on this one "[1]DM/DUM over HS-USB()" octoplus say phone in emergency mode.

Octopus box · 05-25-2014, 08:30

Try to connect the phone via Samsung Micro UART C3300k/C3303k cable with 523-525 kOhm resistor inside.
