In the development section there is a tool called EFS-backup. Install that and use the backup.
May i know how you got the backup?
I use the terminal of my PC.. i found this method in a italian forum.. if i find the post i show it to you..
But what can the fake IMEI number do?

If you have a .img backup its very easy, there's a few methods like pushing it to /dev/block/mtdblock(don't remember the number)

/dev/block/mtdblock6 is a location on your phone
The command to put your .img backup to it is:
Code:
cat /location/of/.img/backup >> /dev/block/mtdblock6
You need to be root to do it
I am not liable if it doesn't work

IN my case I have a Nexus S, bought in the U.S. (I live in Brazil) in May 2011, 9020T, it came with 2.3 ... OTA has been updated and never did root. On Saturday, just the sign of the carrier is gone, everything works on your phone, wifi, installed programs, market, but I can not use the phone. When I go into settings and "over the phone" version of the baseband Unknown, and Unknown satus Imei.
I DO NOT back up the EFS folder.
To my surprise, yesterday I received the OTA update and installed it normally now 4.0.4. But nothing signal. I have another 9020T my son who is normal.

i'm not an expert but i think that the is not light because the IMEI code, contained in efs folder, isn't retrievable, i think only if you bring your phone to assistance center that can change IMEI.. But you can try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1264021

Hi guys, this is my first post and I just made the biggest error ever.
My S2 was (well, still) locked and I tried to unlock it using the Helroz Galaxy S unlock apk, I made the EFS backup, and then tried to unlock it, my phone rebooted and now I have no signal, no gsm, no NOTHING, my sim is completly blocked, I did *#06# and NO imei found. I still have the EFS backup nv_data.bin etc but when I try to apply the BACKUP from the apk it says the backup or EFS folder is not found.
I have no idea on what to do.. my phone works and wifi works, but 0% signal from sim card.
Urgent help is needed, please guys, I beg you.

I created a tool a while back for Galaxy S II owners to backup and restore the '/efs' partition and perform basic NV Repair on their devices.
This proved so popular that I recently updated the application which now includes a feature to automatically detect the mount point of the '/efs' partition. This allows any supported device to be used with EFS Pro and also adds support for future devices.

If you check out this picture its of the root of my EFS folder on my International SG3.
Now before i used your program i flashed a custom rom and made the backup with that as i didnt know about your program when i rooted to use it first before flashing custom.
Now in the root of my efs folder can you tell me what files i can delete in there as there are a lot of files that where probably put there by custom rom.
i just want to know what a stock efs folder looks like so i know what files to keep and what to delete.

Hi mate, I own a GS2 and I know the efs folder layout is quite different on the GS3. You could try asking the guys in the GS3 forums to shed some light but I would say as long as you have a working efs folder and its been backed up then you will be fine.

Hey.. Got a question on this.. If we have an unlocked G3..do we need to do this?
In that what service would it provide?
Understanding it backs up an important partition incase of corruption.. But if you are not locked into a carrier then is it necessary to keep a backup of this information..?
I think I have the answer.. thanks to Mskip..
Q. Why do I need to back up my IMEI/EFS and how do I do it?
There well protected section of your device that is virtually immune to any kind of flashing and manipulation (unless of course you know how to access it). This part of the device contains information such as IMEI (or MEID and ESN in the case of CDMA devices), programming parameters for the device such as your account information (phone number, etc), data provisioning parameters, and a whole bunch of other things that, when not handled properly, can render a device completely useless. All of these are contained in the infamous \EFS folder. If anything messes with your EFS folder, unlike flashing a device (which could potentially lead to bricks as well) it could render your device completely useless as it will no longer be recognized by your carrier. If you are not planning on flashing anything to your device and want to stay on pure Stock then you may never have any problems but it is still advisable to backup this information just in case (better to be safe than sorry). If you have a GT-I9300 GSM Model then you can do this from the Toolkit but if you have an LTE device then it isn't soo easy to do. If you have an LTE device you should go to *THIS* thread by lyriquidperfection and follow the information to save your IMEI/NV Data so that you are covered if anything should happen.

Hello, I was trying to unlock my galaxy tab P7500, and for some reason I lost the efs backup, or it got overwritten or something, base line, I don't have the backup, now the IMEI is 004999010640000 and the serial number is 00000000000, obviously, it does not connect to the network, I've tried every post I found that states I can restore my IMEI, flashed older firmware, flashed the original one and many other things, but none seems to work, so now I really don't know what else to do, I know my IMEI number and my serial because is still in the sticker on the back of the tab, and is in the sticker on the box, and is on the purchase receipt.
So any ideas what should I do?

Ouch. Your WiFi is broken because he told you to flash a US VZW (XT-907) firmware.
Okay. First, you should try to find a 201M restore file. That will get your WiFi back. Next, since you've got a Dev edition, you can bootloader unlock and install a custom recovery, then flash a root zip

While the link I gave him was unidentified as to warnings to non vzw users (now fixed) , the flashing of vzw sw comes in step 8 clearly he would have had to have pulled it from a xml himself if he even got that far. And if he did it would have been from reading the rzr op. As the bare motochopper has no vzw sw inside.

I didn't get the system img at all. I just wanted to flash the superuser files to /data which I thought would set me up to flash the whole thing with Rom manager.
Anyway, thank you for the help. I am downloading the firmware you linked to now. This guide tells me to edit the XML file and remove the getvar text from it, should this apply here as well? (Edit: Cant post outside links, but I think you get my point)
I'm going to use RSD 6.1.4 to restore the firmware. Any further instructions would be appreciated as I have never done this before.

Don't think you'll need to since it's designed for your device. You can try without the edit and do it if it doesn't work. I'll try to find a guide for RSDLite (been a while since I used it myself - fastboot is usually what I use now...

I think I'm gonna give up on the idea of rooting this thing until there's a more reliable method available. Also, if anyone has the same issue then take note: I did remove the getvar commands when using RSD.

Please fill in some details for others?
How do you have a path to the newer sw? Is it your carriers ota? If you can obtain the same in the xml form there is an easy root using a modded ver w/ unlocked phone. The ota.zip could also be useful if you take it while you have root. It resides in /cache.

It wasn't your fault for trying to help, so it's ok. I'm glad a solution existed.
I'm more than willing to answer the questions, but I am a layman here so please explain some things for me: What do you mean by SW? I just installed the update by going into about phone -> system update on Wifi. The carriers here don't even support 3G, much less 4G (So now you know why Wifi was important for me).
The phone came unlocked day one when I bought it from a friend's friend. I don't know if he did it that way or if it comes unlocked because it is the developer edition.
I installed CW Recovery using Fastboot. I installed the incorrect superuser file using Motofail which wrote the superuser file but failed at all other steps. I was then unable to either access or remove this superuser apk file.
Since I am back on 4.0.4. now, what's the easy way to get root access and superuser permissions that you mention? I wish other XT902 owners would post here too, generating interest would really help in getting development support for this phone.

I think I'm gonna give up on the idea of rooting this thing until there's a more reliable method available. Also, if anyone has the same issue then take note: I did remove the getvar commands when using RSD.

Lol no problem, glad to know it worked. Getting root is actually really simple since you're unlocked. All you need to do is flash a custom recovery and flash a root .zip from there... No exploits required
I can try to write up a guide to that if you want

I tried that, and while it did install superuser, it seemed to have no effect. I couldn't get permissions for any app and using ROM manager's functions would just freeze up that particular application. Any ideas?

Once you root on 404 you can grab your update.zip & copy it to your sd . Any rooting exploit would evolve from that Or the newest xml ver of the 404 you just flashed from rsd. You may be able to request it from your carrier.

You can paste the mods from my vzw restore (no vzw software will be used) into the 404 xml & obtain root from a preinstalled cwmr! Then maintain root with voodoo for your ota.
I will help you just read the op. Link is in my signature.

I used this one. Why? I saw them posted somewhere else as while while doing a little research on using RSD and saw that the mirrors on that other link mentioned JP in the file name - I have the Japanese softbank model so I figured this was the one specific to my phone. Turned out to be right.

Try this. Which recovery are you using? ClockworkMod or TWRP?

I did use this one. It didn't work for me. Clockwork mod always gave an error for writing superuser.apk or something.

Can you upload the xml only ~ 1kb
Hope this helps out. This was after I unlocked bootloader and re-setup my phone (so there are some apps installed). Total unpacked size is 3.26GB, zip is 1.52GB.

Sorry for the seemingly noob question, but I've unlocked, rooted, installed ROMs, and modded system directories for many years but am unfamiliar with system pulls. What is the purpose of this and how can it be used on the new T-Mobile V10? Thanks.

It can't. It's just a dump of the system partition. Usually benefits people with other devices looking for something off this device. Maybe an updated app or lib.
As soon as @TheJesus and I can get online at the same time we might be able to come up with something...
You guys are quick. Just got mine on JoD, but don't want to do too much until we have a way to return to 100% stock.
Very cool!

Bahaha, that was the first place I looked
If someone could modify this to be able to prompt me for an unlock code when I enter a different SIM card, I would be very, very happy. Apparently T-Mobile does something to stop the prompt from coming up, and I want to be able to unlock it almost immediately. I'm on my way to get the phone now, but I don't want to come home with a useless paperweight.
Apparently a similar stock ROM was created for the LG G4 as it had the same problem. I would love to see a ROM for this once TWRP is publicly released for the V10!

i thought you had to wait at least 15 days since you been using the device to qualify for sim unlocking your phone. tmobile told me that on the phone before.

I have 1 question, is it possible to make a custom rom with the full .zip you uploaded?
