Flashed Android Revolution HD and now phone will not recognize Sim Card. I've looked in Development threat and can't seem to find an answer. Any help would be appreciated.
it seems you did not back up your efs before you flash the rom or you did not restore the efs after you flash the rom.
if you did not do the back up ,then you should find a efs workable for your own phone.
Good luck!
You don't need to backup and restore efs for flashing roms.
Nor you can't find a efs that will work for your device.
You can't change the imei of your device.
Try flashing stock rom.

I flashed PARANOIDANDROID 2.99 BETA3 from stock DLK4, 4.1.1. It worked but I was ready to revert back to the stock using the nandroid I made before flashing and realized that I did a factory reset when flashing pdroid and lost my nandroid backups. Fortunately I have older Nandroids from 12.12 on my pc. I placed it into the clockworkmod directory, sdcard\clockworkmod\backups, as I normally would but when I reboot into recovery I don't see the nandroid that I placed there. What do I do from here? I tried to do a factory reset from kies of DLK4 but afterwards I get stuck on the "Samsung" loading screen.
Any help would be appreciated. I spent the last 4 hours going through treads as I normally do when having problems but I created my first thread because I screwed up beyond what I can repair myself
edit: while in recovery, I made a backup of pdroid2.99 to see where it saved. When I opened the directly using my pc, I couldn't find that backup I just made. I put the nandroid onto my external sd card and that I could see it in recovery but I get the following error "Error while restoring /system!"

You flashed a 4.2 ROM with an out of date recovery by the sound of it. 4.2 modifies the directory structure of you're phone which is unsupported in old recoveries. I run TWRP myself and I just moved my backups to my new root folder which can be found in: /storage/emulated/0
CWM stores recoveries in blobs and I'm unsure if this method will work for you. Your only option if that doesn't work is to ODIN back to stock. Once you've performed an ODIN back, go into your recovery and factory reset, wipe cache and wipe dalvik.
Then update your recovery for future flashes. I recommend TWRP. Overall an easier recovery.

I successfully flashed back to stock 4.1.1 using ODIN using the rom I got from samsung-updates. I've lost IMEI so I have to inject l that back later on. I'm using CWM 6.0.1.2 and when in recovery when I try to restore my backup and get to "error while restoring /system!"
I've been trying to find other threads, tried what they suggested but no luck
edit: I've found TWRP v2.3.3.1 and but I don't see /storage/emulated/0 instead I put my backup in /storagr/TWRP/BACKUPS/911de9 and tried to restore but it fails
What I did was make a nandroid on the ROM you have and just copy and paste the old one into the new directory and you can flash that old nandroid. Worked perfect for me

This is what I typically do but now I get "error while restoring /system!" when restoring any of my old nandroid backups!
Why I like twrp. Maybe most of it is just a placebo but it seems more stable and easier to navigate

I wanted to get all of your opinion on backing up the IMEI.
My situation is, I had rooted last year with the s3 toolkit. 1st rom I flashed was paranoid android then now i'm always flashing Task's AOKP. I'm currently on an older release of his rom (5-21-13) and i've probably flashed it a dozen times without any problems.
My question is, should I continue flashing this rom even though I have not backed up my IMEI or EFS folder or should I flash back to stock right away then, backup IMEI/EFS and continue flashing task's rom? Are the chances high of losing IMEI even though i've flashed the same rom for at least a year now?
I have an AT&T SGH-I747 with baseband DLK3.
In addition, if I were to flash back to stock, can I just use this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2161667
Unfortunately the download link is no longer there so would anyone have a copy?
Also, would this be the best / easiest way to backup the IMEI as of right now? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1804117
Thank you!:cyclops:

I don't know about backing up your IMEI but if you want to switch back to stock 4.1.1 I recommend using this instead: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2363882

Unfortunately EFSpro will only let me do the option under backup on EFS Professional to backup the tz, efs, modemst1, and modemst2. Qualcomm crashes due to me currently being on AOSP. Looks like you must be on stock in order to use that. Any tools that will work for other roms besides stock?

If I were to go back to stock it would simply be to backup the IMEI then flash back to AOSP right away. It looks like that restores stock everything (stock kernel, stock rom, and stock recovery)
I would like to keep my recovery but flash stock rom for AT&T S3 through TWRP so I can keep my recovery.
I backed up my imei because the more posts I read, the more it seemed like having a backup would be crucial if you wanted to restore and be successful.
Since that stock rom that I linked to was no longer active, I searched my old backups and found a stock CWM nandroid backup I made after I rooted. I was on TWRP so I flashed the recovery back to CWM via rom manager. Restore the stock nandroid I made then backed up my IMEI.
Switched back to TWRP and made a nandroid backup of the stock rom with twrp so I don't have to mess with recoveries in the future.
Flashed my 5-21 nandroid that was Task's AOSP then just updated to his latest 9-10 release.
All is great and I have a full NV backup.
Thank you all for the suggestions.

Download a terminal app(root required one) then type su enter reboot nvbackup.
To restore it's su reboot nvrestore.
!!!!!!DO NOT RESTORE BEFORE YOU BACKUP!!!! You will overwrite nv with empty data possibly losing imei forever.

Hey folks,
I recently rooted my note 2 gt n7100 and flashed dr ketans 4.3 rom onto it.
I made a backup using cwm beforehand and I am trying to restore using that backup via cwm but it says cannot open directory and no file found. I have the backup saved on both my sd card and internal memory. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Paul
You cant use your backup. I know ive tried however you can reflash your stock 4.1.2 rom or custom rom via cwm.

Hey guys. I installed cyanogenmod 11 yesterday on my note 2. i ran into some problems. There was no service, imei and baseband fields were blank. i couldn't dial the *#After countless afters searching xda i managed to fix it by reverting back to the stock Samsung firmware (4.3).
My question is how do i install cyanogenmod 11 and also get network service now that i have my imei and base-band back. I'm not familiar with efs backing up or what to do with it to get network service working on a customer rom.
Any help is appreciated. thanks

To do that you must be rooted and have a custom recovery.
Download and Install PHILZ recovery latest version.
Make Nandroid backup using recovery. Keep it somewhere safe.
Download doctor Ketan's Multitool zip file and install it via recovery.
Now you will see Aroma window with various options. Chose EFS BACKUP.
Exit Multitool and restart the phone.
Copy EFS backup from internal memory card to Phone (approximately 20mb size)
Now Flash any rom u like.
Press thumps up if you found this suggestion helpful.

Hello other solution is to use TWRP recovery , when you do a bakup whis this recovery you can choose what you want to keep : EFS, data, system etc... and where int SdCard or extSdCard.
I hope this can help you.

My friend had the same problem..he has a efs backup but both of us dont knw how to restore it back (tried few methods post googling but none worked even after saying successful)
Unbelievable how many of us fell into the same trap. I also flashed this recovery because I wasn't paying enough attention to what I downloaded. And I also lost my IMEI. I hope you backed up your EFS or you could be in trouble.
If you backed up your EFS then just recover it with the same program that you used to make the backup. If that doesn't work try flashing the stock Samsung ROM and try again. You can also try to flash the modem. This helps sometimes.
I had a backup of my EFS. I tried to restore it in CM12, didn't work. I tried to restore it in Ditto4, didn't work. Then I used an old STOCK Samsung ROM. First I got a generic IMEI whereas I got null/null on custom ROMs before. Making progress. Then I tired to recover my IMEI eith EFS. Didn't work. Then I flash the modem with modem_XXDME4__ (i'm from central Europe) and voila, IMEI back.
This is of course all possible only if you backed up your EFS file. If you did not, chances of getting the phone back are quite slim. I've read about a hunderd threads while trying to recover my phone and some say that when you don't have a backup of your EFS partition, just flashing your stock Samsung rom might work. By stock Samsung ROM I mean the one that was preloaded when you bought your phone.
Good luck.

As what @Sheeptar (Thanks ) said, you can try to restore the efs using the method you used to back it up.
Else, try flashing a stock rom. This happened to me too and I was in the middle of flashing a new rom, so I flashed a stock rom using odin, and didn't have a problem while using the new rom.
I guess that version has no modem support, trying flashing previous version
thanks a lot guys ...
had a full twrp back and restored same ....
u ppl are so supportive ....keep up d good work ..
lolz i restored d full backup
didnt tried only efs...
another possible way..
This worked for me once.. Restore the stock version. E.g. Verizon. Then use the setup/phone/reset to factory option. I flashed the wrong note 2 room onto my i605 . Restoring via twerp didn't work, but the above did.
