Hello,
i googled and searched for hours but can't find a solution for my problem. It looks like i lost my whole EFS Folder when i wanted to flash Galnet MIUI and after that CM7.1 because it failed.
So:
- CAN'T Flash ANY CWM zip (Status 7 error)
- CAN'T use mobile connection (No SMS,no Calls,no Internet etc.)
- NO Backup of the EFS folder ...
- Able to flash any ODIN/Heimdall ROM
- Up and Downgraded 100 times from FROYO to Gingerbread and so but still no EFS rapair :/
HELP,please ...
UPDATE: If anyone is wondering what i have done - i sent it to Samsung and they repaired it for free and even 4 months later it works like a charm (with ICS )
Flash any ROM using repartition. If that doesn't help, flash any modem / kernel after flashing ROM.
Already done that,no change...

miui creates a backup by itself in sdcard named backup

Check your internal SD card, it should be there.

if you don`t have a backup of your efs folder... your imei is lost forever.... you`ll have a service imei 0040etc .Efs folder will be automatically rebuilt but this will not get your imei back... i sent my phone to a Vodafone service for another problem and didn't canceled my warranty so its no problem
Nothing what you posted works. salesale's link was good,but i dont have a backup on my sdcard so its useless ...
I was NOT able to flash MIUI/CyanogenMod so i even dont have this backup ... and all my sdcard backups are only folders like DCIM/Music/Videos but not the whole sdcard. Before i tried to flash MIUI i backuped my whole sdcard but theres no efs folder there with a backup :/
I think i cant send my phone to samsung. they will cancel my warranty because i cant call and say my IMEI / efs folder was deleted without any reason. they know i have flashed and have fu**** up my phone.
Any other suggestions? :/ can someone send me his efs folder? Maybe the phone restores the imei when i follow the tutorial from salesale's link
Flash the latest official firmware for your country and Just go to the service center and tell them that your phone doesn't work after update with KIES.
That's all! You don't know why this happened
Since there is no need to open the phone, your IMEI needs only to be rewritten. If the service center's staff is OK, they will easily recreate your IMEI without much efforts.

Check user nokia8260's method in the link from salesale.
He does some edit on /efs/imei/mps_code.dat to match CSC.
Not sure if you need to flash a stock ROM + 512.pit + rooted kernel to establish a basic filesystem.
Warning: Have not tried this myself, please read and decide.

Just restore your phone to official firmware and call Samsung, tell them your phone doesn't recognize your similar card anymore and can't make or receive calls or text, thats what I did when i messed up my efs on my galaxy s 4g and i got it back within 2 weeks.

Same problem here.
Fixing IMEI After Downgrading to 4.3 from 4.4.2
I need to know how to install my original or a working IMEI onto my AT&T Note 3 SM-N900A any info is helpful thanks hopefully someone knows the answer and can reply fast.
Same here.. is this method is works with sm-n900a at&t?????? after updating to NCUC2 4.4.2 my efs folder get damaged.. now unknown baseband and also IMEI is null/null
Please help me out
explanations
call out of the explanations and some easier. Thank you.
I've always found the easiest way to backup/restore EFS is via TWRP. Just select backup then just tick EFS. That particular backup will then contain only your EFS partition which you can restore at any point, even if your phone doesn't boot. As long as you can get into your recovery you're good to go.

Hello,
the backup system does not work!
finally falsh via odin pass, but reboot as the freeze remains on the samsung logo.
instead of bin \ adb shell su -c "-s -l make_ext4fs /sdcard/temp2/system.img.ext4 2304M / system"
* I've used it "dd"

i tried to flash the cyanogenmod 12 on my n-9005 and first i thought it works fine. but then i saw there was no emei and baseband anymore. so flashed 4.4.2 again and tried some things and, i dont know exactly why, everything was fine. so i made a efs backup with the terminal emulator (dd /.......) and got a file named efs.img (14mb). then i tried to flash cyanogenmod 12 one more time and again there was imei 0/0 and no baseband. so i made the recovery with the efs.img , but it didnt work. again i flashed it back to 4.4.2, but still the same problem. now its the third day without sleeping and i dont know what to do. can someone help me?

knox trip?
Hi guys!
Sorry if the question has already been asked but couldn't find the answer, so please bear with me ... My question is: does the backup procedure (and later restore) as described in the thread trip knox and voids your warranty?
Thanks in advance!
Hello everyone. I hope you could help me with flashing Lollipop on my Galaxy Note 3. I haven't received it OTA so I am planning to download the official rom and flash it using Odin. I have used Odin in the past to flash roms and from my own experience I know that every time I flashed - the phone also got factory reset and I lost all the data and the apps already installed. I would like to flash without factory resetting my phone. also, I don't want to root my phone. Please help. Thank you.

Odin WILL overwrite the phone. Without Root you can't do a nandroid (full phone backup) and about your only option is to get something like ES File Explorer and try to copy out all your media files, docs etc.
All the best ways to save stuff require root access.
You could also try SMS Backup & Restore and Call Logs Backup & Restore to save those out to your extSD. Also you can export your Contacts to extSD and import them back once the flashing is done.

There are things you can do if you search for IMEI lost or similar words. But simplest is probably to DL the Stock version for your phone & use Odin to flash it. That will lose all your data and apps etc on the intSD so you might want to look for other ways first.
I'm guess here but I think maybe you have a problem trying to downgrade your modem/bootloader. CM12 is (if I remember right) v5.0.x of Android, and since Kitkat there have been issues going BACK to previous versions. I think maybe you upgraded your BL to the LP version then it failed when you tried to go back to KK version.
You do not say which 4.4.2 you flashed but you could look for a v5 of that ROM and try that first.

have you solved it yet? I met this problem but dont know how to handle it.
can you give me a hint?
Hey Guys!
Firstly, I know this same thread has been made for other devices. Most of which have solutions, but these do not work for me. I really need your help with my problem!
The Problem: My GN3 has lost its IMEI, the EFS folder might have gotten corrupt somehow. But by a stroke of bad luck, the IMEI turned to unknown and no methods seem to solve this.
Thus far I have tried changing the IMEI with NV Tools and EFS Pro. None of which work, I tried generating a new file and flashing it on, that did also not help.
It was stock 4.4.2 Samsung, rooted. We sent it in to a service center, but since Knox now says 0x1 they want to charge us R3500 (~$300) to repair it.
Upon inspection, I noticed from my EFS folder that all files starting with 'nv' was gone. SO I copied these from my rooted Note 2 and placed them in the folder. Idea being that I could just change the IMEI using NV Tools, as it didn't work otherwise. This however did not work.
The only sollution I can think of, would be for someone to make a backup (using TWRP or CWM) of their EFS folder, then for me to restore it and then change the IMEI with NV Tools.
I promise I did not steal this phone, and it is not blacklisted or anything. Ill send any who might help me a picture of the IMEI on the back of the phone + the original box and the receipt if they doubt me.
I DON'T WANT YOUR IMEI NUMBER, but I need a full Note 3 EFS folder with the original files, so I can attempt to fix mine.
If anyone has a different solution I'm all ears, and up for anything.

I have done that, all it has done is increase the flash counter from 1 to 2. And remove my root. The EFS is broken (somehow) and I can't figure out how to fix it....

Ok, what I found out as a solution was to delete EFS folder. Android will rebuild it! BUT: My EFS and Baseband are still gone. I reflashed stock (again) using Odin. No Dice. My NV_DATA, NV_CORE ect files are gone!
And IMEI isnt coming back.
If anyone has a spare EFS backup, or a script or something that i can flash to make my device have those files again I would appreciate it very much.

The following might be uotdated but no harm to try anyway(Can't copy the link so i copied everything)
1. Install Stock firmware via Odin, then re-run auto-root (to regain root of course)*
2. Install TWRP 2.6.3.2 via odin, reboot to recovery.
3. Do an "adb shell" when phone is in recovery mode to run commands via TWRP.
From the ADB shell: Wiped the EFS partition with the following command:
mke2fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p12*
mkdir /efs
mount -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p12 /efs
(the last two commands probably did nothing, but thats what I did anyway)
Do a factory reset, reboot system

Mate, I have the same problem (australian SM-N910G) - not sure if it's possibly related to an EFS Folder problem?
I am a compulsive "flasher" and have been switching between Dr Ketan's and Nameless lately (both COH4).
I think I may have missed an EFS backup/restore in the past and corrupted something, I was using the mannyvinny note4 EFS backup tool, which now refuses to work for me at all - it recognises my phone as SM-N910G but will not restore my EFS backups.
I am going to flash stock COH4 ROM and BL/Modem to see if it fixes it, I will let you know.
Please let me know if you find a fix.

I guess there must be something wrong with efs folder, I've never backed up or restored it, but gps isn't working, i bought used my N910g,

Please do let me know if you find a solution, and is there anyway to restore the stock efs folder, or simply gps files or folders which i can copy paste in my efs folder?

All this at the cost of this rom? I really like this rom by dr ketan.
If i simply flash bootloader modem will it work?
Because while flashing this rom i didn't flash bootloader or modem, everything is fine except the gps
I just recently flashed CM13 to my phone and since then i haven't been able to use my network. After looking about i got told to check my baseband number which turned out to be "unknown". I then checked my IMEI number which also turns out to be "unknown". Iv looked at countless posts on all websites to find a fix for this but i still cant seem to find one.
Update:
I have tried to backup my EFS files from my working backup and then restore them on CM13 but havent had any luck.
Iv also been told to update my modem to a 6.0.1 version but i havent been able to find one after searching everywhere.
If anyone can give me link to somewhere that i can download an updated modem or give me clear instructions on how to restore EFS partitions that would be much appreciated.
Is anyone able to help me at all with this? I will provide any screenshots necessary to fix this problem if i need to. I have also continued to look at more posts about how to fix this and still cant seem to find a working fix.
Sorry I don't know the answer but didn't you make full Backup before flash rom. Including esf partition.
If you make backup try to restore.

It's always a risk flashing a custom Rom. You must have a Nandroid backup or at least a backup of your EFS.

I haven't flashed a CM Rom since my Galaxy S1 days 6 years ago. I did experience then what you experienced now, getting a corrupted IMEI. I'm not in a good position now to help you as I don't have much experience in CM Roms. Best to ask help from the CM thread.
Alternatively, you can try some EFS backup and restore apps from Playstore to restore your EFS (one of which is Flashfire by Chainfire), or you can search in Xda how to restore a backup of your EFS.
i have updated the post with a little more information if anyone could please help me with this issue that would be great.
anyone willing to help me with this?
