Hi,
I wanted to root my Note 2 and try few things. And as a first step, I'm trying to find a right way to perform an EFS backup for my note 2. I did read in few threads that traditional EFS backup way will not work in note 2. And I found that there are couple of ways,
1) Galaxy Note 2 Toolkit here (which is not been updated for months now)
2) EFS Professional v2.0 here (but this points to the 9305. I understand both 7105 and 9305 share same Soc / Chipsets. But still is it right way?)
Is there are better way to do an EFS backup for Note 2? Please share some thoughts.
Here if you need rooting guide post #2 of this thread

If you use method 2 to root, then recovery also will have option to backup EFS.
If you have already rooted device

Thanks, but the EFS backup link point to N7100 (non LTE model). Is it the same for N7105 (LTE model) as well?

Hello!
Do you still happend to have the backup? I desperately need a n7105 backup as my imei is destroyed.
Thanks

Hi evilbarcode,
Would you still possibly have the back up? I have messed up the GPS somehow on my N7105T and do not have a NV file back up. I don't need your IMEI just the NV data.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you

N7105 does not have nv_data.bin
Please forgive me if I am mistaken…
I noticed that the N7105 does not have nv_data.bin (I think Samsung LTE devices don’t have this).I’m not certain that a traditional efs backup will be enough to ensure the safety of your IMEI when flashing.
To be on the safe side in addition to the traditional efs backup I also followed the steps in the following post to create an IMEI backup using QPST:

Thanks for your remind, this is very important information for all Note 2 LTE user!!!
This is incredibly useful information and thanks a lot for that - backed my data up just to be on the safe side!
This should, however, be on the EFS partition so if you are using TWRP you can actually create a full system backup including the EFS partition. I have been trying to get the N7100 CM build running on my N7105 by patching in various radio files and with the help of a certain developer within the N7100 community. So far the progress is slow but during this time I have been restoring back and forth between samsung stock and CM10. The facts of the process are this:
- The N7100 restores have to be patched to remove the check for N7100 (or you can use the N7100 recovery but that's not recommended.)
- The N7100 restores do *not* have support for our Qualcomm radio
- The N7100 restores *DO* work with Wi-Fi within our N7105 since this chip is the same
Essentially if you flash CM10 you end up with a tablet at this time but as I say, I am working on this when I get the time to fiddle and am hoping to get the N7105 CM build working properly.

my advice is stop experimenting now. because u screwed up ur phone. now u need to restore your efs if u had backed it up during rom flashing. if not u must reflash stock rom via odin. guides are available for both cases, read carefully and follow. ur phone will be fine. donot panic.

You will need to scroll down to rescue firmware use the first rom for united kingdom and you will need to use odin with pit. This will wipe your sd card aswell so back it up to your pc. Also make sure you have an intact efs backup before doing anything. DO NOT RUSH OR PANIC and read the instructions carefully and remember you need to use rescue firmware with pit file.
Hope this helps..

For those who've flashed the official kitkat and lose signal just need a EFS backup from somebody with the same phone model (functional obviously). Make a EFS backup with freegee in your phone, and replace m9kefs1 from the EFS backup functional to your EFS backup and freegee folder, then reboot, restore EFS backup and reboot again. It works for me
what about imei ,did you lose it ?

No, because you'll only change m9kefs1 that's related to radio, m9kefs2 is the imei and phone number
for me don`t work ,work only if i change all efs 1,2,3 but 1 only not work ,can you give your efs 1 backup ?

I have I galaxy III SGH T999 and installed the gummy ROM recently. I had been getting 3G /H instead of 4g/LTE so I decided to flush an LTE enabler modem. After I did this I have been unable to get service and my IMEI says unknown. Prior to doing this i had backed up my EFS folder onto my desktop using EFS backup tool. Now I am trying to restore EFS to see if it help. Could some please walk me through how to restore this folder? Thanks in advance.

One does not simply flash a modem from a different d2, you said you have a t999 therefore its not LTE capable... Only the T999L is capable of LTE ... Try flashing modems meant for the T999 like VUENC2 which is the latest... You'll find it on docholiday's modem thread

Thank you for the response. I will try your suggestion. How do I resolve the issue of unknown IMEI. As I said earlier, I backed up EFS prior to all these problems but I just cannot figure out how to restore it> I have tried the the emulator, copied directly from my desktop, EFS backup pro, but none has been helpful.
Well pray that its only showing that because of incompatible modem and flashing correct modem will fix it, honestly I have no idea , I never had an imei wiped before...
I tried flushing modems as you suggested but it did not work. Thanks for your help though. Anybody else. Please help me out. I need to figure out how to restore the back up of my EFS folder. There are a few files in the folder. One folder says IMEI and and I also have an EFS.img file saved to my desktop. Please help me.
