S4 I9500 NEW CPU type IMEI repair succesfully done via USB without UART by Z3X

 

 

 

After few days of trail and error, this how I have repared IMEI of two S4 I9500
One on Jellybean 4.3 and second one on Kitkat 4.4.2


STEP BY STEP GUIDE

1. You can get default IMEI (004999XXXXXXX) by full firmware flash, If you ar on IMEI NULL state.
2. For Root and desable Knox (only for 4.3 and above) install Phils touch recovery for I9500 Via Odin (I used this since CF autoroot gave me some trouble of desabling Knox

 

 

.

3 Reboot phone and copy attached Knox removal script to phone memory
4. Boot into recovery
5. Install Knox removal script
6. Go to PhilZ setting
7. Select Re-root System (SuperSU) -Yes- Apply SuperSU
8. Reboot and install SuperSU from google play and update binary
9. Install root checker from google play and get it confirm you have root access

10. Dial *[ندعوك للتسجيل في المنتدى أو التعريف بنفسك لمعاينة هذا الرابط]# Select MTP+ADB and hit OK (You dont need to select DM+MODEM+ADB or *[ندعوك للتسجيل في المنتدى أو التعريف بنفسك لمعاينة هذا الرابط]# since you are not going to use UART PORT/CABLE)
11. Enable USB Debugging and connect to pc via USB. If drivers start installing, let finish the process

12. Do the IMEI repair via Z3X as you do

Now You will get original IMEI and Serial
But you will have NOT REGISTERED ON NETWORK problem now.

[size=32]IMPORTANT: DO NOT TRY TO USE NETWORK REPAIR AS YOU DONE FOR I9300 AND IT WILL GIVES YOU IMEI NULL AGAIN[/size]

13. Without doing above, write Cert file from attached and if it not worked, try differant cert from here:
