Hi folks! Im hoping someone can help me sort this out.
I rooted my n9005 using CF-root to install custom ROMs. I wanted to back-up EFS and searched google play store for an app, I found "Efs by BORIS.X.1" app.
This app is not to be used for NOTE 3 as per warning by the developer but I'm so stupid not to read. :crying:
My phone got into a bootloop and if I was able to pass boot up, after few seconds it would restart. I have scouted the forums for fixes and I have found one. I am now able to boot my phone normally but cannot make calls and sms.
My IMEI is unknown, I already fixed it using "EFS pro" tool, IMEI is showing now but still no calls and sms. I also noticed that the serial number is not the same as the one written at the back of the phone. I have read that restoring EFS solves this problem, but I don't have EFS backup.
To sum things up, the phone now boots up normally, IMEI is showing the right one, serial number still incorrect, can connect via WiFi, can't make calls and sms but phone has signal bars and says "Emergency Calls Only".
When trying to make a call, "not registered to network" shows up.
Im on MJ6 BTU firmware with root and TWRP recovery. I originally got my phone with MJ1 KSA firmware.
Im planning to bring my device to a nearest samsung sevice center but im not sure of they will accept it or if they can fix it even at a price.
It's been literally days since I had a good night sleep.
Please help. Thanks!
Having the same problem...How did you get your phone connected to efs pro? Every time I try my device reboots :/ Is it possible in recovery mode? Which recovery?
Did you find a final solution?
•You need to be rooted first.
•Make sure USB debugging is enabled.
•Dial *#0808# on your phone and select the same items in the image
•Connect your phone to your computer using the USB cable and open up EFS Pro.
I still haven't figured out the solution of my problem.
I brought my phone to the nearest Samsung service center but their solution is just to replace the motherboard which is very expensive.

Thanks mate! I tried that before, I was able to get out of the bootloop but still no calls/sms/data connection.
I'm going to try it again though.

tried it but still no luck.
still no calls, sms, & data.
the serial number is still not the same as the one printed on the sticker of the phone.
maybe I really need to change my motherboard?

My phone is fixed now. The one and only solution that worked for me is replacing the motherboard. Samsung Saudi did it, and I paid a fortune for it.

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?
GT-P7500 from movistar venezuela, now on Official ICS LQ8 ITV
Do u still have the imei number that on the back of ur tab? If u do I advise to you is going over to t-mobile gs 3 dev section. They have a tool call nv and imei injection and give it a shot.

thanks!, is that a web site? or a office? I'm currently in Bogotá, Colombia, so if your advice needs me to take the tab to a t-mob office I think is not going to be possible.

You can purchase used motherboards on eBay but they may be hard to come by. Generally a used MB either has a bad ESN if it is carrier branded or it has something else wrong possibly water damage. What is wrong with your signal? Why are you trying to get a new MB

IMEI would not be blocked the phone sells fully unlocked. Try to
1. Do a hard reset
2. Flash new stock firmware via Odin
3. Try a different SIM from another carrier.
4. Try to restore the IMEI EFS NV-data.bin file.

I believe Philz CWM has an option in recovery to restore your EFS check here
Hopefully a backup exists on your phone if not your going to have to restore without a backup. Search the forums here on how to restore without a backup if that does not work

poped my EE sim in phone found a good signal spot ,strange i can get data downloads but no voice or sms ,puzzled now
Your better off calling a carrier (3, t mob etc) ask them to check the imei. I brought 1 off ebay, worked great for 2 weeks then lost signal, tried loads of sims, some showed signal but wouldnt let me make or recieve calls or txts, searched online if the imei was blocked and just got msgs sayin "valid" in the end called 3 even though the phone is sim free but was sent out with a new 3 sim, they told me it had been blacklisted as a fraud case and the phone will never work and to bin the phone. This gave me a challenge, brought a 2nd phone from the states with a broken screen (US blacklisted imei can sometimes work in the uk) chamged the boards and now have a working s4

Send over your IMEI in PM and I can check whether it is blocked or not.
Hi, so basically I flashed a Jelly Bean ROM (4.3) over my KitKat ROM (4.4.2) and have since
permanently lost my signal. I've tried flashing a multitude of Modems and ROMs, yet I'm still unable to
obtain signal. My device shows emergency signal bars but that's it. When I go to assign my carrier, it comes up with some of
the major carriers here in the UK (including 3, which is my carrier) but my phone always fails to connect
and register on the network. I'm faced with the same problem when I select 'Select Automatically.'
I've been told that my problem lies with a corrupt EFS folder, but my IMEI still shows as it should (The same one on
the back of my phone.) I've tried using a different sim card but still the problem persists. When I booted up with a
different 3 sim one time, for a split second my carrier on the lock screen had changed from
'Emergency Calls Only' to '3', but changed back to the former immediately after. I'm yet to try and use a sim from a
different carrier. Any suggestions?
You cant downgrade android 4.4.2 to android 4.3 coz they use different bootloaders. You will have to flash again android 4.4.2 for recover the signal and solve ur problems :highfive:
Reflash kitkat 4.4.2 as u can not downgrade from 4.4.2 to 4.3.
Maybe the IMEI Certificate is damaged, and need repair, try *#0011#, if at the end of the list you see IMEI CERTI: FAIL then you have to take your device for repair, if show PASS then try the latest modem

I've tried flashing 4.4.2 ROMs through recovery but no progress. I've tried flashing the
official 4.4.2 ROM through Odin but still it doesn't work. Also, in Service Mode,
IMEI Certi shows as NA :/ does that mean I'd have to get it repaired?
Yep, take the phone to a repair shop, is the only way out, i say because i fix that a lot on my shop

Damn didn't want to have to get it fixed :/ do you (or anyone else for that matter) happen to know how much a repair would cost?
well on my repair shop, the cost to the client is 50$ for EFS v1 and 60$ for EFS v2, and now you have EFS v2, the cost in different country is not the same as you know, so ask for the repair prices

I "killed my phone for more than 4 hours a couple of nights ago. Long story short I was trying to do the same thing, "downgrade fro kitkat for personal reasons. The phone wouldn't boot up, and couldn't get it to go to download mode. Afternseveral tries it finally got into doenload mode and I was able to reflash with original/official kitkat, and it works just fine, the onky thing is that I keep seeing that imei certi : na status on the service mode screen and can't navigate to other screens within service mode. Im trying to sim unlock it using that method. I'm not sure that I did anything special, just try to reflash again with official kitkat and hopefully it will stick...
Wen i dial *#06# my imei is fine but Wen i dail *#0011* i also get imei /na my phone doesn't have any signal also I don't know what caused the problem cause i got the phone second hand also on 4.4 2 stock, could this be the problem y I can't get any signal at all? I also tried flashing custom roms and stock kk ROM but still no signal help please

Hi man. People keeps telling you to install new modem, kernel etc...but i think you have corrupted EFS folder.
I hope you backup your EFS folder before flashing ANY rom because, otherwise you will have to go to some repair shop.
Well, I don't understand a lot, but I think you could check if you didn't lost your IMEI. Go on Settings > About Device > Status and check if your IMEI still there.
If it is, I don't know what could be. You could try flash another modem or restore a backup (if you have one) with PhilZ Touch but if it isn't, that means you lost your IMEI. I remember I read about that somewhere, that there is a risk of losing IMEI when you flash a lot of ROMs.
If you have backup from your IMEI, just restore it. If you don't, I don't know what you could do, but I guess you could still do something.
One more thing: Wi-Fi works?
Like I said, I don't understand a lot, so everything I just said may be very stupid. Or not. Sorry for bad english.

same problem now as mine my IMEI just became 350050500009692 /01 emergency call only why???
some nice paper weights at least lol none of you have efs back up ? tried restoring it if you do common rule with samsungs all ways back up you efs folder
the sad thing there is mine I don't have my backup
Try NV restore (If you have it Pre-backed up on your phone from factory- at least mine did not have on the N910C but it existed on my N910F) ... Dial: *#0011# , then Menu>Back, then Menu>Key Input> then type Q0000.
After that I don't know where the NV backup is (I forgot, and I don't have the phone now), but you should be able to search here on xda or google it up...
I hope your Exynos has a NV backup....
Good luck
