restoring efs with nvtools/qpst - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II

hi guys, i flashed the lte modem on my phone and it seems that its wiped out my efs folders, ive been trying to restore my efs folder with nvtools and qpst, neither seems to work since somehow dm mode is not responding to them
any solns? ty in advance for any help
a couple of things:
ive already odin'd back to stock, no luck on restoring efs(perhaps im doing something wrong?) i dialed *#7284# and put it into the RNDIS+DM+MODEM mode, nvtools says phone failed to answer while QPST says that comm7(the samsung serial port) is not a phone
its pretty had to do this since the phone is rebooting itself every other minute

Questions and help issues go in Q&A
Thread moved
Thanks

Been there, sucks. For me to get out of the constant restarts I had to flash the lte modem again. Flash stock (odin) flashed cwm (odin), put the modem on my external sd card and flashed that.At least that way I could work on it a little. And below is basically what I did to finally get it to work. Hard to say all my steps as I was trying everything.
Well I dont really know how I got mine back to life, tried all the standard stuff from the threads,got my imei back but had no network,network type,service nothing helped. last resort I said whatever ill try anything now. Came across this
http://galaxynote2root.com/galaxy-n...3g4g-aws-bands-on-att-galaxy-note-2-sgh-i317/
whatever it did it restored everything (cold see carrier,network,etc)but corrupted imei, next i followed this guide

If you need this is a complete no imei nv backup I used before flashing my imei with the generator
http://db.tt/4hunZ7qy
used the imei generator, then the writer (link on post does not work for the imei generator,so found it here
http://d-h.st/vVV
Wrote my imei back and presto, back in action. Fully functional again, including 4G
Like I said this was a last resort, but worked

got it fixed on friday, was so tired that i went to sleep
basically i followed someone's post on the forum(forgot name) and flashed the tmo modem, since the mct one always gave me the bootloop, then i enabled DM mode and finally got nv tools/qpst to recognize my phone, it appears that the issue was that the drivers does not recognize the new modems..
anyway, once i was done restoring nv, i flashed the tmo lte modem and paranoid android
now i have my imei back and i can use lte
although my bluetooth address still says unknown..not sure if normal

My bluetooth also says unavailable, I would think if you are not hooked up to bluetooth then it should say unavailable. Im to scared to flash the tmo lte modem again...

Lost Data completely after Rooting/Flashing

I rooted and flashed my phone and everything worked great but my data package stopped working Completly. I restored the phone back to stock ROM using Odin but still no data (wifi still works). I checked my IMEI number and it appears fine.
The instructions i followed to root the phone was the one where you do not tripp the flash counter, and I backed up IMEI using the NV reader, and the ROM i installed was the Sonic Rom. The only thing I think I could have done wrong is when I went to use the NV reader I accidentally started backing up the entire array of numbers and I canceled the operation midway through. I then just backed up just the IMEI and installed the ROM.
Is it possible I corrupted something when I hit cancel? And please does anyone know how I can get my data working? I was on the phone with tmobile for over an hour today and they were zero help.
thanks.

Exact same thing happened to me..I used PeopleArmy's method and tried re-injecting the correct IMEI back into the phone for a couple hours, then suddenly, my data started working again out of nowhere. Really weird, but it fixed my issue..good luck to you!

Thanks for the reply. did you use PeopleArmy method to recover a lost IMEI number? My issue is a little different. I still have IMEI numbers but I have no data signal working on the phone at all.
I did not get many many replies, maybe my original post was hard to understand...
My H+ and 3G indicator lights blink as if they are working but my phone is completly unable to use any data services. WiFi works, Cellular Voice works but no data.
When I first got the phone everything worked great but after I rooted and flashed it started showing a screen on my browser indicating that my data plan was not compatible with my handset. Tmobile could not help,since I have the correct data plan, my previous phone is the awesome HD2. Please let me know what I can do to fix the phone.

Cant make phone calls

I first seen this problem when i flashed synergy rom. My phone failed to activate so as a result it wouldnt make/recieve phone calls but i could text and use data normally. So i tried skipping the setup, using global apn, went to stock then came back, re-flashed many times and the result was either no service or i couldnt make/recieve calls. So i tried to Odin back to stock and unroot, then tried a different rom but still it wouldnt work. I then restored a backup i had of CS ROM but still not working. Any help would be appreciated.
Update: Okay so incase anyone runs into this problem I found a fix that works for me. What i did was bring my phone completely to stock and unroot it. Then i got a notification telling me about a software update, when i opened it a popup came telling me Im now registered. Then I rooted and flashed synergy rom, skipped the setup but then text or phone calls didnt work, so i put airplane mode on then off, and voila it working again.

Did you check your IMEI? If it's unknown or 0, there's a stickied thread on how to restore it.
Also, make sure you have the right modem for you carrier (modem thread if you're not sure). As well as having the right APNs.

[Q] Baseband Version Unknown!!!! Help

A few days ago I purchased a Verizon Galaxy Note 2 off of Craigslist. When the guy brought it to me I was able to test the phone with my 4G chip. It was able to make calls and access the internet. Once I got home I noticed that the phone would constantly go into a Demo mode and erase any changes that I had made to the phone. Instead of calling the guy that sold me the phone I decided I would just go ahead and root it.
The first attempt at rooting the phone ended up as a disaster. It was constantly rebooting after the splash screen. I later found that this was an easy fix. I had decided to "Nand erase All" and then it would not even boot. I finally found a Root66, the phone came up fine but I had no connection to Verizon with or without the 4g chip. I looked through the phone settings and found that under the "Baseband Version" it said unknown. Since then I have tried flashing in with other roms. Right now its flashed with KIES_HOME_I605VRAMC3_I605VZWAMC3_1098177_REV04_user_low_ship.tar.
Its still says the Baseband Version is Unknown and the only thing that works is the wifi.
Please HELP!!!

I think your EFS has been messed up..what you should do is backup your current EFS even though it's highly damaged.... find a way to recover your EFS search on XDA ..EFS repair or EFS recover if all fails flash a genuine stock ROM and retry the repair or rebuild of the EFS... also as it's a demo phone...there could be other complications..I'm not sure.
seems like damaged efs.. if you had backed up the efs,just try flashing older modem. but if you never back up the efs,it will be very difficult..i suggest you to read all the threads about restoring efs and hope you can fix it.

[Q] N7105T SPC changed after flashing ATT QCN

Hi all,
I have a N7105T and for some stupid reason I flashed this onto it (using QPST restore) - http://galaxynote2root.com/galaxy-n...3g4g-aws-bands-on-att-galaxy-note-2-sgh-i317/
This has somehow changed my phone's SPC/MSL number and I have no idea how to get it. I have read for hours on the net and tried all the conventional methods used, but they are all for Sprint/ATT phones and nothing works on my N7105T.
So I'm pretty much stuck now. Can't restore any other QCN backups or anything till I enter the right SPC in QPST.
A bit of back story - My GPS somehow stopped working with I flashed CM12.1 and to get it back, I flashed a NV Data file (QCN file) provided by a fellow XDAer. The GPS started working but my 4G stopped working. So in order to get my 4G back, the same person suggested I flash the ATT QCN file, which I did, and it somehow changed my SPC code and now I can't access the NV memory.
I'd be eternally grateful to anyone who can help me out with this.
Thanks in advance

HELP PLS!! Im totally screwed!! [EFS partition issue]

Ok so i got this new Tab S 8.4 LTE from an online chinese retailer,after using it for some hours i decided to flash lollipop rom to it. Then i inserted a sim card but i keep getting "Emergency calls only" if i manually search and connect to a network,it will show "Not registered to network",i have tried flashing back kitkat/lollipop/kitkat all over again but nothing fix it.
After some digging i realised the problem is pretty much common and it has to do with a deleted/corrupted efs folder,so i have tried several solutions like this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1813559 this http://www.technobezz.com/fix-samsung-galaxy-unknown-baseband-version/ and this http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/general/guide-recover-imei-9-steps-t1264021 i cant seem to get it right. You guys are my last hope. The Tab is barely 3 days old. I am thinking of returning it back to the seller if all methods fail.
My friend has an exact type of tablet,can i backup his efs and restore to mine? If i restore his Nandroid will that fix my problem?
Have you tried flashing a stock rom via Odin? Sometimes that does that the trick.
