- renamed secsettings,apk -> secsettings.apk.bak / secsettings,odex -> secsettings.odex.bak
- pasted bak secsettings.apk in pri-app
- changed permission)

I think that's alright.
*The file I downloaded has a file name of "BL_N7100XXUEMJ5_1903221_REV04_user_low_ship.tar" and it's 1.83 MB
**There is a Fix that is provided in the site for v5
Goodluck.

EFS: Try Dr. Ketan's app. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.yahoo.dr.ketan.efsn7100
Nandroid Backup: TWRP can handle that.
Modem: You need PC Odin. Try http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2205009 of JoelDroid, in the "SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR 3.6 AND ABOVE" part or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2500823 by Dr. Ketan, up to #2.
Do it in that order ^
Goodluck.
Hi guys. I have a note 3 Sm n900 and I lose my imei every time I return to stock rom. It works if I flash xxuene1 modem but when I installed the rom I made an efs backup with the rom installer. So now I have an efs tar.gz backup file. Is there any way in which I can restore my efs using this tar.gz file?

Hello
Firstly this is the wrong section to post questions....
Your answer is located here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2389426
Next time use apk that saves efs in. Img format. Much more reliable.
Goodluck...
Edit:Flashing new modem will also fix problem... NE1 MODEM

How many files do you have inside this tar.gz archive?
Can you show the file name and their size?
And is your phone rooted? If yes, I will show you how to restore.
thanks
Thanks for all the help and really sorry for posting in the wrong section. Will definitely try it out

If you are in I9500 you are in a knox free bootloader , you can do whatever you want , root , install custom rom , go back to stock ..no knox .
Just do not upgrade the bootloader , no stock upgrade , no OTA
Towelroot does not work on exynos processors, stay on 4.2.2 use stock base roms if you like the stock TW look

Anything you want ....cm , tw any version 4.2.2 , 4..3 , 4.4.2 , 4.4.4
Root , install a custom recovery and flash.....
If you want to go back to stock use only 4.2.2 stock roms so you do not upgrade the bootloader ( preferably the same one you have now) , backup before you do anything , do not forget to back up also your efs folder

1: Try it and find out. I can't answer this as I have a i9505 and rooted it using Towelroot.
2. The EFS folder is where the device's IMEI and other relevant configuration data are stored. If the data is corrupted either a nandroid backup or a copy of the EFS folder contents should restore the device to working order.

Hi,
You can use cf root or flash (odin) philz touch and once there go to Philz setting and chose re-root system
The efs folder is not backup by nandroid it must be done separately you can do it with philz recovery Backup and restore/custom backup and select efs or use apps like Galaxysim unlock , it has an option to do it what is is well describe by @Strephon Alkhalikoi in the post above this , once again towelroot does not work in exynos S4
Thanks for your time! Am familiar with cf auto root, but Philz one seems easier as I also get recovery with it, can u link me to Philz recovery and root?Again huge thanks, am not using towel root?

But how can I restore efs? Sorry am new here i know all about xperia rooting stuff and flashtool not familiar with Samsung and odin
@MAX 404: I'm running TWRP. Why then do I have "efs.info" and "efs.ext4.win" as part of my nandroid? Or is EFS actually hidden and what I got from the backup was only the files I could see?

That is easy , Galaxysimunlock and philz will do it for you provide you have the backup Both app will create a folder where it will put the backup( galaxysimunlock or clockworkmod) , make a copy and save it in the pc, when you ask to restore they will go and look for it in those folders and do everything ,
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.spocky.galaxsimunlock&hl=en
there are different ways and apps but for me this 2 are the easiest ones

Not an expert on twrp , maybe they do include efs in their back up , which is brilliant , on philz is not part of the regular nandroid , you have to request it from the custom backup section.

So when I want to go back, first restore nanandriod backup, then open the app and then restore efs, right?

Hi
first part :
Philz thread , he recently decided not to support any more his project so in the future you may have to move on to other recoveries like twrp , but at the moment is still valid and up to date
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2280457
a little guide wrote by another user , is valid also for 4.2.2
second part yes BUT efs has to be restore if only there is problems with imei , wifi ....if not is not necessary nandroid is enough

Neither am I apparently.
The EFS backup in TWRP was only about 13KB, which is way too small apparently. I just downloaded Samsung Tool and used it to make a proper EFS backup. The final result was roughly 13MB in size, which seems more like it.
