This guide contains all the steps that need to be followed exactly to complete imei repair. The
estimated completetion time is +/-10 minutes for most users. Experienced users could do it in less then 3
minutes and first time users might need to read the manual twice to make sure they followed all steps.
Important: IMEI Repair & SNR Repair are advanced functions and are only meant for people who know
what they are doing. We assume NO responsibility what happens with your phone in case of wrong
usage, and no refunds will be given in case of wrong usage!
Important 2: This function is for imei REPAIR only (in case of IMEI 0049xxxxx). Changing IMEI on
your phone is ILLEGAL which we do NOT allow. Your payment details, IP and all phone details are
logged and we will work with authorities and provide all these details when necessary! When buying our
software you agree with the Terms Of Service where is also mentioned that IMEI Change is illegal and is
prohibited always.
If you damaged the IMEI (and / or SNR) on your Samsung GSM (resetting it to default e.g.
004999010640000) by bad (reset) codes, cracked unlock software or by wrongful flashing (firmware
update), these advanced SRS functions will help you revive your Samsung back from the dead.
Some important things to remember (use this as a check list!):
- If your problem just suddenly happened without you messing with the phone (flashing / unlocking) most
likely your problem is Hardware. This can NOT be fixed by software. Do not use our software
- When you damaged the phone's IMEI it is possible you damaged more then that. If you have 'Baseband
Unknown' problem or IMEI all zeros (000000000000000) or blank you need to fix this first using Free
Samsung BaseBand repair.
- IMEI repair costs 6 credits and is NOT available with the normal '1 x Samsung unlock' account you
need to purchase the 1 x Samsung Repair by cable account.
- SNR repair is FREE when you have a valid SRS account, thus if you want to repair SNR + repair IMEI
you need to repair SNR first and only then repair IMEI.
1. If you do not have a valid SRS username and password yet: Buy a '1 x Samsung Repair by cable'
account
2. Download & run our SRS installer - Make sure you also select the Samsung drivers for download
and installation
3. If present uninstall 'Samsung PC studio software / Samsung KIES software' from your computer
4. Restart computer (important for Android phones)
5. (Turn off phone) Remove the battery and check the sticker underneath and locate 'IMEI' and 'S/N'.
IMEI being a 15 digit number (ignore all other characters such as '-' '/' and ONLY use 15 FIRST
digits) and 'S/N' being a letter + number combination (e.g. RQGBA15896R). Write both down and
double check!! It is SUPER important you get these right.
6. Turn back on your phone (without SIM)
7. If present on your phone make sure Bluetooth is turned OFF and 'Auto Screen Time out' is off

9. What is I9300 IMEI Repair?
The IMEI is a unique identification number from your phone. Every phone in the world has a unique 15 -
17 digit number. This number is used by the phone to identify itself to the network. If your IMEI is
damaged to bad unlocking, reset codes or (most likely) bad flashing your phone might not be able to
connect to the network any more rendering the phone completely useless.
Repairing the IMEI revives your phone so it can be used again.
Warnings
1. Advanced users only
IMEI repair is for advanced users only!
This means you need to know how to flash your phone, know what baseband repair is and have no
problems installing drivers.
2. Repair ONLY
IMEI changing is highly illegal and prohibited by law and our Terms Of Service. The IMEI repair
service is only to set back the original IMEI of the mobile phone. If we detect your attempting to
change IMEI we will provide all your details to authorities.
I9300 IMEI Repair Preparation
1. Make sure Modem and PDA parts of your phone are ok (check settings - about phone)

3. Repair SNR
In case either the baseband is still damaged (and IMEI is still not 0049xxx) and / or the phone's modem &
PDA is still damaged after full flashing and using method 4 of the Baseband Repair Tool you have
hardware damaged which can NOT be fixed by software.
