hello Guys, i have a galaxy note 3 sm-n900 on my hand right now, the problem is that i have no data, unknown baseband and no imei (Null/Null)......is there any solution ??? thank you...
In normal case all this missing comes from factory, if you need help from others you must explain how this happened, what rom you are using etc etc

May be your imei data was corrupt.
Did you make backup for the EFS data?
If so just restore it.
i have the same issue with a friends phone, no EFS backup, he won't tell what he did to the phone but now imei is null/null and doesn't have a baseband, anyway to fix it?

similar problem
I have a sm-n900 exynos and I have lost my imei and baseband during a Samsung flash. I have a TWRP backup, efs.img backup by dr.ketan's backup tool but nothing is able to restore my efs. I have scanned emmc blocks for bricked blocks and all blocks come back as non-corrupted. may be the partition is corrupted .how do I erase my efs partition to rebuild it. I have tired to flash PIT from ODIN but that too doesn't work.
tried this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2567133&page=36
but need a guide to identify the partitions and how to rebuild them. by any chance anyone know if I could extract twrp backup to files to restore efs or from efs.img so I can use the nv_data.bin, since tried restoring the backups and it didn't restore I feel the partition might be corrupt and hence not being re-written. so might be I have to rebuild the partitions by formatting as explained in this thread. but I don't know exactly the steps for exynos variant. I tried using terminal on twrp but mkef2 command shows mmbcblkp03 doesn't exist which as I have read in posts is the efs partition on this phone and reboots to twrp recovery. and mmbcblkp12 show filesystem too small and reboots to twrp recovery
weird thing is, i sometimes find the imei and the baseband and sometimes i dont, phone's not rooted yet, trying to find a way to root it without trippong knox since is not mine, but maybe im able to recover the efs i hope it works
Same problem here...
Hey guys, I'm experiencing the same problem since i installed VN kit kat rom. I searched for the efs backup and i found it but when i use odin to flash it it doesn't work. I tried flashing back to stock but that doesn't work. Can soneone please help me?
Fixed it!!!
If you have a n900 and your imei is null and your baseband is unknown all you have to do is to flash the file beneath with cwm recovery and voila!

HI just one question my friend has the exact same problem (IMEI null/null) baseband is unkown !!! the device is SM-N900 running 4.4.2 right now he flashed the file but the problem still exist !!! pleeeeeeeeease help !!
this file only works if the device is running official 4.3 ??? or we can flash it on stock 4.4.2 !!!
it seems wiered to me that others on this forum flashed the file and it worked with them !!!!!
pleeeeeeease help
You can still flash it if you have 4.4.2. The file i uploaded to be flashed is just to flash the baseband not the rom itself.
Btw did you flash the file with cwm recovery?

we flashed it 2 times but nothing !! after flashing the baseband stays unkown and IMEI (null/null)
just one thing that the system is 4.4.2 rooted is that a problem ? should we flash the official stock 4.4.2 and then flash the file ?!!
we'v tried to wipe factory data/cash partion/ delvic cash then flashed the file still nothing !!
please help my friend is going crazy !!!

That s due to a modem you update so go back to original modem. ..
Ohw ok.... When i flashed the file my sim card got the read the first time i restarted my phone. I don't get why it doesn't work for your friend. What you can try to do is to download (google) other basebands for n900 and try to see if those work (it doesn't necessarily have to be 4.4.2 cuz i flashed the same 4.3 file on my 4.4.2 phone and it worked). If that doesn't work you can try to flash a stock rom and then flash a baseband ( while still in recovery mode), try the one i uploaded. just be sure to have a backup of the current rom if the stock one doesn't seem to be solution.
Maybe start with these :

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.

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?

@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 ,

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.

Hi

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.

Wrong forum..
Install a factory test rom, backup efs, install whatever rom you want to install and restore efs if it doesn't work already.

i can help you with modem backup, but i can't send you EFS bsc of my IMEI
@twistergear
It will work, but, both phones will have the same IMEI #. That's the reason why no one will share their efs folder (files).
The best way for you guys is to send your phones to the service centers, so they can restore your own original imei numbers.
