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.
Change 12 in that script to 11 for n9005

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.

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.

I rooted it wrongly and someone interfere and make stupid things using root explorer . i did not install custom recovery .
after figuring out the problem . i installed stock rom and then i rooted it probably then installed cwm custom recovery . after that , someone told me that i should install and try some modems which exists in sweet rom for N910C , i tried many of them but even that nothing happens still the fake imei and fake serial .

Any one!! some help plese....... urgent
help?????......
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

Hello ... Are you rooted ? If so use EFS IEMI back up in play store...
I grabbed it from phone and placed on my PC and also saved it to google drive

Absolutely rooted
Have you tried to restore using it?
I don't really trust these apps (bad experience on Galaxy S4) I would rather use Terminal emulator and type proper codes, which I want to know
Sorry if this is irrelevant but why do you back up imei?

Backuping EFS partition will backup data like device specific essential information such as the IMEI (International Mobile Station Equipment Identity), wireless device MAC address, baseband version, product code, system ID and NV data.
If you lose your IMEI during flashing and wiping roms, you will end up with a piece of brick incapable of making calls:crying:

I flash renovate rom and serial number on the back of the phone is remove. I know what is my imei but i dont know how to put it in the phone. I think my imei and serial number is removed in efs folder because renovate rom use uk firmware and my phone needs nordic firmware but even if i flash nordic firmware with odin it's not solve the problem. I call samsung repair store and ask how much pay if they fix my phone and they say it's pay about 400-500€ so i try to find another solution fix that problem

After messing up my EFS partition, my wife took mine to a phone repair shop owned by an old friend of hers. He is pretty sure he can fix it. He has it today and asked that we collect it tomorrow. I have my doubts but we will see.

I guess tomorrow I will return the device. Bought it from official carrier. Doubt it s blocked. Strange that no one has solution to this problem yet because there are quite a few similar posts online. :/
