1. IMEI Numbers (x2 for dual-SIM models): Required for network registration.
2. Serial Number: Matches the sticker under your battery or in Settings > About Phone.
3. MAC Address: For Wi-Fi and Bluetooth hardware identification.
4. Product Code: The region-specific code (e.g., USA, UK, Korea).

What corrupts the EFS partition?

• Flashing an incorrect stock firmware (ROM).
• Downgrading the bootloader (e.g., going from Android 10 back to Android 9).
• Using repartitioning options incorrectly in Odin.

When corrupted, your phone might fail to read the IMEI, leading to "Not Registered on Network," "No Service," or permanent airplane mode.
