    my phone is from Yatayeley, UK. The settings show United Arab Emirates as I bought it from there…..

  3. @disqus_KsTT3rWQ8C:disqus You cannot change the imei of your phone. You can flash a firmware of UAE on your UK – branded phone. Please share the model number so that I can help you further.

    • You can only restore EFS if you have already backed it up which in your case doesn’t seem like its done.
      Try flashing the stock firmware on your phone again and see if that fixes it up. Best of luck.
