Hi
I updated my Note 3 (N9005) with firmware from SamMobile. Now everything besides calling works, and I have IMEI 0/01.
I don't have EFS back up, is there any way to repair this

You posted in the wrong forum.
Without a EFS backup you are officially screwed. Contact Samsung support center seems the only solution (unless anyone is stupid enough to give you a backup of their EFS partion containing their IMEI code)
Good luck
N9005 EFS Backup
Hi
Would anyone be kind enough to share their Note 3/N9005 EFS backup so that I can try and get my handset working again
I do not have access to a local service centre in my part of the world, and the only option would be to send away which will probably take weeks where I am as I have to send it to another country.
Please help
RajSE
gud luck

Do you have .nvbak file in your Efs folder.?
Have you tried emergency firmware recovery in Samsung Kies?
SN changed
Hi guys i have searched high and low, My N9005's serial number changed after flashing a rom and when i restore a backup up of my EFS it doesnt correct the problem. Is there any way of reinserting the serial number back into my phone in order to get it to start working again?
Have you downgraded recently?
Older modems cannot read the efs folder after you have upgraded th re n downgraded because the format has changed.

Yeah I downgraded but when I read a few threads on here I upgraded to the newest firmware for my handset using odin. Strange things are happening everything else works but it keeps saying emergency calls yet it connected to my carrier to get apn settings and immediately went straight back to emergency calls, plus my serial number in settings are different. I'm totally baffled by it

Having the same problem IMEI unknown, and s/n changed.
After I've tried to flashed rom from other countries, but stupid put in BL instead of AP of ODIN, I could not get into normal screen. I stuck at Odin mode.
Then I followed "firasusman"'s thread which help me wake my phone up again. But now I'm on 4.4.2. Since my phone woke up, I cannot make or receive phone call, no data connection. Only WIFI works.
My
IMEI = unknown
S/N has been changed to other number.
Baseband shown.
Need some help.

My IMEI cert. = fail.
Same here and there is no solution to fixing this yet. I took mines to a phone shop who said they could repair it for £25 so I might give that a try

I have bought unlocked N9005 from Germany. The problem is I need to flash very specific ROM related to my home network - T-Mobile PL.
I managed to debrand and upgrade my phone to N9005XXUENA6_N9005OXXENA5_N9005XXUENA2. Works fine.
But now I need to change CSC to TPL and flash N9005XXUENA7_N9005TPLENA2_N9005XXUENA2 - but direct flashing with ODIN ends with usual invalid ext4 image.
What shall I do to flash banded firmware?
PS: *#272*(my_IMEI)# does nothing. IMEI of course checked with *#06#
After unrooting my gt i9500 with stock rom 4.4.2 my sim is not recognised. (Insert SIM) is displayed. I rebooted several times but it is not fixed. can someone help...please???
can you check if you have imei and basseband by going : Settings, About Phone?
if you have baseband and imei then your sim card reader is broken, if you dont have those then you did not flashed correct files for your phone.
IMEI is null and baseband is unknown...can you help me further???
you need to flash the stock firmware from kies or you need the correct modem to flash via odin. search on xda for it.
Hi

and i used its CP file it was flashed sucessfully with odin but then came this warning " Security Error This Phone has been flashed with unauthorized Software and is locked "
tried to flash Ap,BL,CP all together but it fails,
i checked serial number but that shows IMEI.info: SM-G935TZKATMB this as model

Actually Phone showed Sm-g935u but when i checked its serial that site said SM-g935tzkatmb
i need help to get out of this mess and i dont even wanna get bluetooth fixed anymore.
Edit: its unlocked and am using in Asia
I have flashed the system from China to Hong Kong today using Odin 3.14.(Only the ap package with the HK pit file, and re-partition and F. Reset enabled) All of the roms are the original version. After flashed the phone, I found that the baseband information and IMEI becomes unknown, after a little search on Google, I use the original CP package to flash. The mobile signal solved, and the baseband and IMEI came back. Make phone calls is not a problem, but I cannot use cellular data. I have tried to set APN given by my telecom company but it didn’t work. But I noticed that the data selection changed from “4G/3G/2G” to “LTE/3G/2G”.
Is there any solution for my problem? Sorry for my poor English.
You should reflash with repartition disabled and if you are on android pie, use Odin 3.13 not 3.14 as it is not stable
