First: I have searched... alot.... seriously alot of searching
Second: I would have posted in the appropriate forum ( AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III > AT&T Galaxy S III Android Development > [FIX/TOOL] Backup/Restore/Fix IMEI & Data Restore Tool v3.0 - Updated 11/01/2012!!!)
BUT I have less then ten posts so I guess I have to put it here.
I restored my IMEI via the instructions in the forum, that went ok, but when I try to load the .qcn backup file into SGS3 QCN Generator the .qcn backup cannot be found on my pc.
I made sure to put it in the correct bin folder and when I go into QPST Software Download the file shows up, but if you browse or even search for it outside of that application it cannot be found...
I'm sorry for posting this here I would rather posted this as a reply in the right forum but the ten posts thing, I guess I'm a noob but I have rooted and rom'd 4 phones now with 12 or 15 different roms and haven't had any issue like this.
any help would be much appreciated.
Phone is tmobile
SGH-T999
4.0.4
Baseband: T999UVLI6
Ok I flashed stock everything from odin, back to Baseband: T999UVLH2 and tried the whole process again and it worked, except I still don't have 4g data... so i could use some help if you know of a way to make my 4g come back pc also says it is unable to identify device when I connect via usb...
Only thing I can think of is when you restore your qcn backup, use the very first one you ever made. Dont know why, just that multiple members have reported that as working for them.
If it doesn't help, PM peoplearmy. I believe he has a file that should fix you right up. Or will at least know what to do.

4G is back, apparently all it needed was another reboot and to sit about 10 min...
Thank you Doc for the reply, I didn't know what I was going to do if all of that didn't work.
If anyone has searched this problem and you have found this thread, please PM me and I will be glad to help you as best I can.

I am really hoping that someone can help me. I lost my IMEI on my ATT GSIII. I used the IMEI restore methods supplied by Geek & Peoplesarmy to help correct the problem. My phone was already corrupt before I found their repair methods, so I didnt back anything up. I started off with the "IMEI Injection" process. I was able to inject the IMEI back into the phone succesfully, however I am still stuck on 2G/ Edge. I did as much troubleshooting as I could before posting this question. So far I have flashed stock ATT ROM, Wiped & Factory Reset, pulled battery & SIM card, etc. DOn't know what else to do.
Im hoping that somone with more experience can help me. I can not post directly to the IMEI Fix Tool Forum at this time, so hopefully I can get some help here.
Thank you very much in advance!!!
Too bad nobody knows cause I have the same issue!!!
You need to download the App in post #3. This will let you connect to data fully. The IMEI injection only does what it says. You'll need to use this tool to restore full data. I have used to fully restore everything.
Looking for answer.
I have the same exact problem with my Galaxy S3. I came across this forum and was excited too actually got excited! Except when you click on the link in Bam1789 replay it leads too a dead forum. Do one of you have the correct link?

I know there's been multiple threads on this topic but I can't figure out how to solve it after reading each one. Here's my story. I rooted it and then flashed CM10 via cwm recovery and everything was working fine. One day later without doing anything my 4g started slowing down and eventually I can't get anything but edge. I looked around xda and found out that i might be missing my IMEI. Sure enough my IMEI was a 0. I tried recovering to a back up but that didn't fix it so I injected it back in via Peoplearmy's method. The IMEI is now in place but I still wasn't getting anything but edge. I tried using odin to flash it back to stock which worked but I still wasn't getting anything but edge. Does anyone know what I need to do to fix this? I have contacted Peoplearmy but he hasn't replied yet and i need this fixed asap so it would be great if someone could help me out. This is the T-mobile version of the s3. If you need any more information please ask. Thanks. I would post this in another place but I don't have enough posts. Relatively new here.
Thanks for looking everyone - The required QCN file was obtained and the Post-IMEI Recovery Bell Data Connectivity issue has been solved by PeopleArmy with the assistance of Jethro650!
Hey Bell users, I recently lost my IMEI and after restoring it using this method I now have no service. However their is a solution and but I need your help!
I need a backup of a specific file from a working BELL SGS3. Their is no flashing required as you only need to install a windows program and click a few buttons, then upload the file and PM it to PeopleArmy. The file will allow xda member, Peoplearmy to add BELL to his Data Restorer App for post-IMEI-injection issues. The file is small and will only take you a few minutes to retreive. As a bonus, the file you are retrieving is a backup of your IMEI data, which is good for you to keep in case you ever loose it.
If any Bell user already has a QCN file backup, please skip to step 7 so I can get this fix underway for my phone and the others waiting to get data back.
INSTRUCTIONS (for stock samsung rooted/unrooted roms - AOSP roms follow this):
1. DOWNLOAD and Install QPST V2.7.378 from HERE. Unzip the file and run the "setup.exe" to install QPST.
(Please note that QPST is a powerful program and can flash anything you throw at it. Don't do anything outside of the instructions as it can/could damage your phone)
2. You need open a hidden settings menu. Using the stock dialer dial *#7284#
3. Press the USBSettingsMenu button and put your phone in "RMNET + DM + MODEM" mode.
4. Plug your phone into your computer. Open your windows control panel and look in device manager under Ports and Serials you should see your phone there (note the COM##).
5. Find QPST in your start menu and open "QPST Configuration", click on the PORTS tab and then on Add New Port button. You should see the phone listed in the box on the right side. Click it and press OK. If you don't see it, type in COM## where ## is the port number you noted in step 4 and click OK. Close "QPST Configuration".
6. Find QPST in your start menu and open "Software Download". Click on the BACKUP tab. Make sure your phone is listed at the top under Port. Select the location you want to save your backup beside the "QCN File". Click Start and wait for it to finish. You should now have a QCN file of your NV wherever you made the save location.
7. Submitting your QCN is no longer required as this issue has been solved.
Please note that the instructions above were originally written by PeopleArmy but I modified them for people like me, who need it a little simpler
Thank you for your help,
Ian

I hope you can help too! I see your reply on PeopleArmy's thread. Probably for the better that it goes directly to the maker than to the public or a noob like me. I'm not really sure what kind of devious things could be done with a copy of someones QCN file. I think PeopleArmy only needed one file so I suppose anyone else can use the instructions to backup their QCN but don't post it online or send it out.
I'll edit the OP and ask to have this thread closed once everything is resolved.

Yeah I'm not sure what all is contained in the backup but I do know that my imei number is in there so its not wise to throw it out to the general public.
On a side note mine was carrier unlocked when I took the backup so I don't know how that would play into it if at all. In the least I hope it helps him help people in your situation.
Good call! I decided to update the OP so that if anyone else decides to send their Bell QCM backups in, they will know to send them directly to PeopleArmy. I have no idea if your carrier unlocked file will have any effect on this fix so it couldn't hurt to have other people send theirs in too.
Thanks again for you're help. If you get any kind of updates that don't make it to the other thread, feel free to post them here as I'll be checking it every chance I get (only at home until my phone works again - no wifi at work)

Thanks for making a note of this on here. I have said in my thread repeatedly to never post any QCN backups publicly even if you are just storing it somewhere publicly accessible. I always discard of any QCN's that people send me once I look it over and once they are no longer needed. I even go as far as deleting the message that contains the link to a person's QCN after it is no longer needed for development (it also helps keep my message box from becoming too full...lol).
Jethro I sent you a message that I need a backup created using the 2.7.378 version of QPST. The one you sent me was made using the 2.7.323 version.
Thanks,

@ian1331: It may be helpful to change your OP: It is a "QCN" backup, not QCM. No need to stress too much yet, I am pretty sure once peoplearmy gets what he needs you will be up and running again. I have seen him do it many times before.

@ian1331, I stayed up last night and got peoplearmy what he needed and he has updated his program in his thread. You should be good to go. Please post your results and if it works just add (solved) to your thread title. Good luck.
Edit--> you can change the thread title by editing your first post and just edit the title....
It is done! I was able to use the Data Restorer Application to fix my phone. With the assistance of PeopleArmy and the timley response/donation from Jethro650, I have a new QCN file restored to my phone and everything is perfect!

I have somebody requesting a qcn file from me, not sure how to do this safely, looking for a middleman to edit me imei number (and anything else important) out of the file(s).
requesting a qcn file i need i747m qcn file please
Before tinkering significantly with my T889V I did what any conscientious flasher would: backup my EFS.
I did so with the EFS Pro program, both the tar and image methods. The "usual" way, which would have done the trick on most recent Samsung devices. I could just as well have just done it with ADB, tar and dd instead. Update: The latest versions of EFS Pro now support the required NV item backups we need.
I started flashing modems, knowing that this sometimes led to trouble, but with the peace of mind that I had made backups... How wrong I was.
The absence /efs/nv_data.bin didn't click as unusual and I got myself in a bit of trouble.
The Note 2, as well as some other recent LTE-capable Samsung devices (North American SGS3 variants for one) have Qualcomm modems for which merely backing up the /efs partition on your phone is insufficient.
I finally got my phone back in operation after many attempts and more time than would have been necessary had I caught this before flashing.
Check these threads out for proper tools and procedures:
[TOOL/GUIDE] Full NV Backup and Restore [SIMPLE] [08-03-2012]
[WARNING! + GUIDE] Backup and Restore IMEI / NV Data Procedure for GT-I9305
[TOOL] Updated! 08/03/13 - EFS Professional v2.0.26 - With Qualcomm NV Tools!
The guides may mention using RMNET + DM + MODEM in the USB settings, which doesn't exist on the N2; any mode with DM (a.k.a. diagnostic mode) like RNDIS + DM + MODEM or DM + MODEM + ADB should work.

Did you try flashing back to stock with odin. And reset flash count
http://www.andromods.com/unroot-loc...y-note-2-to-stock-rom-firmware-with-odin.html
Remember, the phone has to boot properly for Triangle Away to work in the first place. (A quick glance at my previous posts will tell you I'm familiar with many of the usual Samsung and Nexus procedures.)
With CWM I tried:
Restoring a Nandroid backup
Restoring my /efs tar backup
Restoring my /efs img backup
With Odin I tried:
Flashing back to stock
Flashing the I317M stock ROM (in case it would have accepted the EFS NV stuff there due to official LTE support)
The "Phone Clear EFS" toggle, which is usually a big no-no.
My latest lead is to get reacquainted with QPST and see where that goes. (Last time I used it was many years ago to get ringtones and J2ME games on my Bell Mobility, blue, CDMA, SPH-M510 flip phone.)

Hey man I used the qpst tool to try to backup my note 2 (bexause ot worked so well on the s3) however it didnt work.....on ly generated a 240kb file which is not correct.
However I did use mskip toolkit and backed up my efs partition and IT generated a 10 megabyte file I believe so I think that worked successfully.
Try it out and see what you think. Id like to hear back from you as well and see if you got similar file size to see if this process in the toolkit made proper backups.
We really need more people aware of backing up efs and they need to feel more comfortable by doing so. Therefore if we can nail down a good solid backup method and get it stickied it will save a lot of broken hearts.
The current fix it process here is to just refer them to another phones forum to read how to use qpst to back up efs. (S3 forums)
This isnt acceptable. Reason being it can confuse those that are already apprehensive about doing anything to their phones already! Case and point: Think of all the people that you see post threads struggling to decide whether or not to root. Like its going to blow their phone up!
But like I said I am suspicious that qpst is not making proper efs backup files.
I would like like to collect others thoughts ideas CRITICISM and suggestions about this matter.
Thanks in advance for helping others out!

I can't get to DIAG mode at this point...
The phone bootloops right after it shows the lock screen, but before adbd starts (even a wait-for-device reboot recovery command doesn't work). Or earlier than that now for reasons unknown.
So no logcat or ddms either to see exactly what causes it.
I would have tried toggling airplane more, but the bootloop is way too fast for that, and I am unaware of any way to toggle it from recovery.
I could possibly comment out some lines in init scripts and such via CWM, tried one or two but no luck so far.
I'm kicking myself for not paying attention to the fact there was no nv_data.bin in the /efs backup, it should have tipped me off...

ssCISengineer: permissions could be fixed, from what I've gathered merely copying the /efs partition isn't enough this time around.
UPDATE : I followed guide you gave at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1946915 and backed up my phone nvram. I have a qcn file now.
I also checked my efs backup and there is no nv_data.bin in it.
I have following backups
1) TWRP stock backup with EFS
2) TWRP only EFS partition backup
3) Toolkit EFS backup.
4) Full efs directory copy.
If you are right then all that backup is useless and will not restore lost efs.
Questions
1) Did you figured out how to really take backup on this device.
2) What are options if efs cannot be recovered ..can samsung service centre do this with a fee ?
Here it's the question. Do we even know if the imei is in the efs folder. The us gs3 it wasn't. I've asked multiple people to try the method posted by but people won't do it it would be nice to have a definitive answer where the imei can backed up from??
Edit: here's the post. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1804123..... here so a link to the nv generator.exe from the post as the link to download is no good... BTW personal drop box.

To be honest with you ,i really dont know if qpst is even generating a viable backup, as I have no way to test it.
But, when i do try to make a qcn or a backup USING qpst (like we did for the galaxy s3) i get some absurdly small file, which leads me to believe that it is NOT a viable backup....like 110kb. Also once again i just dont have any way to check it, as this definetly isnt my area of expertise.
im going to try to run qpst today again, maybe i didnt select the correct com port
however how large are the QCN files you are generating using qpst? How large are the backup files you are generating using toolkit?
that will help me see if maybe its just something im doing that is wrong.

exactly, a lot of these guys think that they are all backed up and start flashing some of those frankenstein buggy craptastic roms and come back crying to tmobile and samsung about a replacment handset. Id like to organize a guide that ACTUALLY does work to backup imei. Not send people to the GS3 forums just because thats the easiest way to do things, when it could be dead wrong (which i suspect it is) and disastrous. Remember that the GS3 i believe chipset is different from the exynos one and they had lots of problems tracking down that imei location.
UPDATE: after properly configuring com ports i NOW have a .qcn file that measures 268kb. This makes me feel a little better at it is more close to thie size i expected, but i still have no way to see what the file ACTUALLY contains....frustrated.

It's still too new and with all the talk of lost IMEI number and development still so limited I haven't been willing to take the risk.

Ok, I'm getting paranoid reading all these cryptic posts about messed up IMEI numbers and bad backups. This is my first Samsung smartphone so I've got no idea what's really being discussed here. In short, are you guys saying that having a clockwork nandroid backup is essentially useless? What am I missing here. For the record, I haven't flashed a custom ROM on my Note 2 yet, only clockwork and root.

All that i can suggest is make all the backups.. Hopefully you wont need them. i lost my imei on my gs3 bcuz i did something stupid. so
There we go more headache http://www.s3forums.com/forum/galax...pst-backup-your-nv-data-imei-us-variants.html
Anyone will already lost IMEI ..try and see what happens
The nandroid backup has its purpose, but the NV items, aka cellphone radio settings aren't stored in anything that CWM handles on this device.
Many Samsung devices typically have an /efs partition that contains a file named nv_data.bin (among others) that contain all the juicy bits. As discussed earlier, a tar or dd backup is generally sufficient. This group includes most SGS, SGS II and the non-LTE, international SGS III. The N7100 also seems to be in there.
But Samsung LTE devices: NA SGS III, NA Note II, International LTE devices like the S III 9305 or the Note II 7105 are significantly different.
I have a Telus S3 (SCH-I747M). I've flashed many roms since I purchased it a year ago. Lately I have been running LiquidSmooth v2.3. When I discovered that I needed an upgraded boot loader to flash LS 2.4, I commenced flashing stock LK4, rooted, added cwm with Odin, then flashed LS 2.4. Everything seemed fine as I was doing this, except my phone would not connect to the mobile network.
I came to discover my IMEI was lost, and ERI was not available... and regretfully i had no backup... so out came the xda research.
After many hours, I was able to restore my IMEI. However, my ERI still says not available, and my phone (using any rom) has either no signal or says its roaming. Many Google searches indicate threads that might help, but they've been either deleted or moved. When searching within xda, I've had no luck.
I found one thread that offered an eri_0 file that it suggested I could replace with qpst. However the link was broken. It's probably what I need.
Someone please help.

Funny you should say that... I've already spoken to Samsung and arranged to send out for service. I even flashed stock and used triangle away to be sure it could be done with no problems. However I will not be sending for a couple days and if I find a solution before it will be much quicker.
Thanks for posting the thread, however I had already read that one. The link to the tool that i would need on that page is dead.
any one have any other suggestions?

Funny you should say that... I've already spoken to Samsung and arranged to send out for service. I even flashed stock and used triangle away to be sure it could be done with no problems. However I will not be sending for a couple days and if I find a solution before it will be much quicker.
Thanks for posting the thread, however I had already read that one. The link to the tool that i would need on that page is dead.

Check your PM tonight.
I forgot to ask which recovery you use. I've used TWRP exclusively and had no issues.
Back last year when this ugly problem reared it's head it was noted that TWRP seemed to have less occurrences of this issue.
The same problem happen to me, now I have the imei but the ERI isnt available and I cant find any tool to restore it. If u find a solution please share in this page. Thanks

ERI = Enhanced Roaming Indicator = not applicable while not roaming.
Should say "version unavailable" or something to that effect.
