WIPED IMEI without a BACKUP - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey, guys, I have a question: I HEARD that the original IMEI of the Note 4 (I have the N910C - TCE) is read from the motherboard, but I also heard that if you don't have a backup of your /efs folder from the original stock ROM then you're screwed?
Do anyone of you all know anything about this? Problem is: I flashed a ROM on my phone and it wiped my IMEI, replacing it with a generic IMEI (350050500009692), and now I can't get it back without a backup of the /EFS folder?
I would REALLY appreciate your guys' help as its been at least a week and a half since I lost network service... if you guys need more screenshots, just ask and I'll post them.

Flash stock rom with odine wipe everything using a pit file...
I hope that will resolve your problem.

My friend have done the same thing. I flashed stock ROM from sammobile with Odin and IMEI was back and network service was back.

@webmaster750, should it be my phone-specific firmware or just a stock firmware (regardless of region)? Thank you for the reassurance, man.

@jemis1983, should the .pit file be specific to my firmware region?

The pit file should be specific to your model of note 4
you have N910C EXYNOS try first to flash your stock rom without pit if that didn't fix it flash using the pit file.

Okay, thank you! I already tried to flash another region on 5.1.1 with and without the .pit file, but it would not fix the problem, so do you think I need to flash my firmware for my specific serial number? Like the firmware that would be downloaded from Kies or Samsung Smart Switch?

Make it the same thing if you can make call if not you should not need it.

@jemis1983 and @webmaster750
Thank you, you guys ☺ Okay, let me get this straight: so, I'm going to flash my firmware for my phone's specific serial number (more specific than my own region) through Odin when available and enable "nand erase all" with my specific .pit file as well? With no backup of my EFS (cannot make a call at all)?

Unfortunately bro you will not get anything, l know my words very disappointing but efs or serial number is special information stored in your phone (emmc)by special partition and if you wiped that ,then you lost your serial number forever,
You have only two way?
1-go to Samsung service and they will repair your phone and will back your stock serial number but that will cost you much money (200) $ or more :crying::crying:
2-anyone with zx3 box or octopus box will fix it but another serial number you will get
Super imei and that will 50$or less

@medo sator, two questions:
1. How do I know if my emmc partition is ruined? What if it's just my EFS folders?
2. What is Super IMEI like you mentioned in your comment above?

I have the same IMEI problem and have used odin and samsung tools pro with no change, also i tried reseting efs and nothing. It's a model SM-G750A galaxy mega 2 and i'm out of ideas or exhausted every search, what can i do?
Thanks,

Ok first install https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24459283995315430 that is MM stock rom for N910C. In odin under options please check auto reboot, reparation, f. reset time, nand erase all, phone efs clear and phone bootloader update. Just in case it asks for the pit click on the pit tab and select the N910C pit you can extract in this firmware. I posted the pit as an attachment just encase you can not figure out how to get the pit file.

Will this work for my sm-g750a galaxy mega 2 also?

[Q] Galaxy note 3 sm-n900 repair imei without efs backup

Hello everybody, I have a galaxy note 3 sm-n900 and I have flashed another rom on my phone ,
but what I have got is null imei and I don't have any backup for efs file
I have tried to flash a stock rom but still have the same problem.
All what I want is a simple way to re-enter my IMEI that I have under my battery into my note 3.

There is no simple way to enter the IMEI manually.
After flashing stock rom, try to reflash the modem (baseband) 1 or 2 times more.
Does the baseband stick after flashing? Check the Baseband Version with Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app (under FIRMWARE INFO section).

As you can see in the screenshots, your baseband is null so you have to flash the modem or the stock firmware again.
The screenshot shows your original CSC is KSA (Saudi Arabia). Try to download this stock firmware and flash again.
Open Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app > Menu > 'Firmware Browser' > enter KSA into the CSC textbox > tap Go button to search for the firmware.

4. should I apply an update a zip file from CWM mode ( which file should I Use)

Downgrade the Bootloader may brick your device.
Can you check if your IMEI and Baseband are still valid?
You can use Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app to check for the Baseband and Bootloader version.

What tool did you use to backup? one file is not enough for N9005.
If you use IMEI Backup ★Samsung★ app, you will see there are 3 backup files: efs.img, modemst1.img and modemst2.img.
In N9005, efs.img does not contain the IMEI. The IMEI is stored in modemst1.img and modemst2.img.
Anyway, try to restore with the tool that you have used to create the backup.

Here is the modem flashing instruction. Try to follow it step-by-step to reflash the modem:
Code:
• Switch off your device completely.
• Connect to PC and power on your phone in Download Mode (Volume Down + Home + Power).
• Start Odin v3.09 (be sure it recognised your phone and show ID:COM port number).
• Untick Auto Reboot.
• Flash MODEM.BIN (CP slot - unzip it first).
• Reboot once again into Download Mode using Vol Down + Home + Power.
• Tick Auto Reboot and flash NON-HLOS.BIN.
• If this doesn't work, try repeating the flash process again while rebooting manually and with Auto Reboot option turned off.

So the solution is just flashing the kernel? Not the modem?

[Q] Note 3 wrong serial number?

Hi guys.
So i have an Note 3 with HongKong firmware that i want to flash new international/europe firmware as it is not working on europe sim card(i think it will solve the problem...).
The firmware that is installed on it is N9005ZHUENB5 so i thought aha then this is the Hong Kong 16GB version that have flashing problem. But then i found out that the phone is 32 GB and not 16 so it can not be the Hong Kong 16 GB version but it has for some reason the Hongkong firmware on it.
The IMEI number under the batteri is matching the IMEI nr android is showing, but the serial number is not matching.
The weird part is phone INFO app shows this:
SN under batteri: Made in Vietnam
SN andorid show: Made in CHINA
Even weirder:
imei.info is giving me N900 Galaxy Note 3 as Model????
This has made me being carefull falshing it and i am asking you guys to advice me before i start flashing any new firmware. I have rooted and done EFS and pit file backup in case i screw it up.
What do you guys think, will it be safe for me to just download a europe firmware and flash it with odin?
Download and run Phone Info from Play store and post screenshots .
This is the info from Phone info app(attached)
This is not a new phone is it as i see warranty void Knox 0x1 .
Looks like a previous owner has flash a rom .
Thanks for feedback JJEgan.
I have rooted the phone so maybe therefore? The phone has android 4.4.2, however i believe this should not have anything to do with what i want to do. I can flash 4.4.2 or flash 5.0 via odin, but just want advice before i do that.
Thanks

Well at least you're 32GB - not sure why only HK phones seem to have a 16GB model. You're right to be cautious - there seems to be partition differences also, but if you search for a EU version of the PIT file for v5 Android you will be prepared in case the Odin flash fails. I'd also get SuperSU zip file on your extSDCard and an Odin flash version of TWRP or CWM - untick the Reboot option, flash the firmware you want, (Wait for it to finish completely - it will sit for a while then let you know it is done) then Reset, untick the Reboot again, then flash the Recovery. Reboot phone into Recovery and flash the SuperSU file and restart.
All being well you should boot into the stock firmware and do the set up. Then you can flash whatever ROM you want in Recovery.
If it DOESN'T work, Search for how to fix, and if you can't find what you need, ASK, don't just go playing...
Thanks @Journyman16

I think when you use a PIT for such things you need to tick the re-partition box - if you're going to try it, read up on it. I haven't done it since I had an S3. Mess up the PIT process and it's a bit of work to get the phone working again.
I'm puzzled about the serial number thing - even if the main board was changed, that wouldn't explain it because the IMEI would also change AFAIK. I wonder if the wrong S/No might be the reason you have the SIM/Call issue?
You could now try a factory reset. See if it changes anything. Other than that, research about EFS repair/restore.
You DID have a backup before all this... right?

Ok guys:
I have one bad news and one good news
The good news: I managed to flash with Poland firmware after advice from @FeralFire(really appreciated, thanks) following his guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2613374&page=13 I believe i can now flash any firmware as it is now international pit and firmware
The bad news: I can still not call/sms only data is working, and the serial number is stil diffrent then the one under the batteri. The IMEI is correct though. So i have now ruled out that it was something with HongKong firmware as it seems like this problem is not related to which firmware is in use. I have also tried with Region lock away app but no luck
I do have backup of my EFS and pit file, but the problem is this phone has had difrent serial number from begining so no help from EFS backup i believe?
I will try to digg some more in to EFS repaire threads here on xda and see what i can find, but any threads you guys advice or other tips i can try?
Again thank you for helping me out here: )
Dont remember the solution ( probably efs) look on S2 forum as their where a number of wrong serial posts that may give you a clue .

Need Help Extracting PIT FIle for Verizon Variant of the S7 (Non Edge)

I seen on other forums you can basically create a working PIT (Partition Information Table) From a Working Device, obviously based on the Same Firmware set you are running, now that root is up and running, the idea is which mmcblk to dd to get it done

I'm on PF2. I've never used a pit file with ODIN so what does it do exactly? Could you maybe help me?
I'm getting an error when rebooting in recovery saying "failed to mount /data (Invalid arguement)". I can't notice it affecting anything though. It only pops up after I select power off, reboot, or wipe cache. If I do a wipe data/cache and thrn reboot it doesnt pop up. My phone still seems to perform right but this error worries me.
Like I said, I've never tried to root or flash my phone but this is happening.

I have one for the PE1 build but not for the latest fw update, however 8f you need the PE1 I can pm it to you, you might try odin and reflash the build im on it includes the pit file as well

I've downgraded to PE1 seeing if that what fix my issue, but it didn't so if you do have the PE1 version that would be fine for now while I'm on this version.

if the stock files don't work i can extract a master PIT file from the phone but i need to make sure it covers all of the relevant partitions first, basically preventing you from getting an erroneous file, as they lay out how the phone should partition the emmc chip basically acting as a flash memory version of a hard drive

Sent you a PM. Your stock files had the same error as the other stock files.

Thanks a lot for your answer. But I would like to ask, will "Nand Erase All" delete all the data on the phone??
Appreciate your time for answering.

Nand Erase All it's mean clean all internal storage, so when you flash using ODIN or else make sure you have backup of data. for more future information please read this post https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2610757 :good:

Thanks for reply.
At this moment I have no backup from my data, do I have any option (in my situation) to backup my data before Nand erase all??
And also, did I also need a PIT file to add to odin when flashing as SpamMachine discribed in 2nd post?? (I read somewhere that it is important to add a pit file...)
Thanks in advance

I think you have no chance to backup data. but if you have previously synchronized it may be possible to recover but maybe some data can not be recovered. flashing device with or without PIT file can be, but have you ever tried to flashing by using 4 types of firmware (full firmware) ? not a single one.
it's for the PIT file if you do not already have it. https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66358795&postcount=10
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24407100847294485 here is for repair firmware if you need it. I not provided this file, so credits goes to original hosted. :highfive:
