Urban Legends & Truths (J710F Edition)

| Myth | Truth | |------|-------| | "A custom ROM fixes null IMEI" | No – custom ROMs don't touch EFS. You need to restore EFS first. | | "You can manually edit IMEI with a hex editor" | Not on Exynos 7870. The partition is signed and encrypted. Editing = checksum fail → still null. | | "Dirty flashing stock firmware restores EFS" | Only if partition structure is intact. If overwritten, it's gone. | | "Factory reset from recovery erases EFS" | No. Factory reset wipes /data, not EFS. That's why resetting doesn't fix IMEI issues. |
