[Q] Trouble with network connectivity probably caused by EFS??? - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, this is really weird. In fact, when I insert the SIM to my Note 2 N7100 and turn it on, it allows me to make emergency call, but I cannot use it to make any others and it doesn't show the carrier name (it shows Emergency call only). And when I try to use it to make normal phone calls, it says that I am not registered to a mobile network. I try to factory reset my phone, but the problem remains. I then try to remove the SIM card, and it says that I need to insert a SIM card (that means that it is not a hardware problem since it recognizes the card). I then try to go to the mobile network setting to try to connect to the network manually, it connects me but it shows me a warning which says that the mobile network service is not available (and the Emergency call only label remains). However, I am sure that this is not the problem of the card neither since when I insert the card to my Moto MB860, I can make calls as usual. So, what is the problem ??? It seems to me that the problem happens spontaneously since it works perfectly until yesterday. And all other wireless function works fine including wifi , Bluetooth and GPS and the only thing goes wrong is 3g and 2g.
Additional information:
ROM: Omega v.16
Carrier: Fido Canada (as you can see)
Thanks.

What comes to my mind at first that something wrong with your sim card but if you insist that everything is ok with your card so I don't know what to suggest to you. Is it not related with your Omega ROM?

It does seem to be Efs related. Did u downgrade from the latest firmware ? Check these links-

Yes, I did downgrade from v17 back to 16 since something went wrong with Poweramp but I forgot that if I selected for the efs backup or not since I (stupidly) didn't think that efs is important...:banghead:

Do some basic troubleshooting:
Does the IMEI number from dialling *#06# match the one on the sticker?
If the answer to this is yes: Then you should contact your carrier as it sounds like your IMEI might have been blacklisted (often if a phone is reported stolen)
If the answer is no: Then you need to fix your IMEI so it matches as it should. This would usually be done by restoring your EFS backup. I suggest restoring a totally stock Firmware if they don't match and you don't have an EFS backup. But you should have one somewhere, surely? Every tutorial out there tells you to back it up...
Good luck.

Thanks for replying, I should have a backup, but it probably be the wrong one. Anyway I will go for a full stock restore since I have the firmware with me now.

Do you mean the one in the About Device ==> Status? In fact, the IMEI from the dialing does match the one in About Device ==> Status. However, I don't get your instruction since if in the case where IMEI from the setting matches the one on the dialer means that my phone is reported to be stolen, then why I have to make the IMEI in the setting and the one shown in the dialer the same?

No, when I say "The one on the sticker" I, strangely enough, mean the one on the sticker.
Take off your battery and the phone will have a sticker/label with the IMEI on it. Verify that number matches.

Thanks for your clearification No, it wasn't.:good: Then, I need to flash a stock firmware via Odin, right? In addition, when they say stock firmware, they mean the one that is on sammobile.com, right? In other words, if I have a Hong Kong version of GT-N7100, the file from this link (http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=15126) would be the correct one, isn't?

That's correct, yes. It doesn't actually matter which N7100 image you flash, but if you have a Hong Kong version you might as well flash that image. Just make sure you don't have a N7105 (the LTE/Dual Carrier version) - flashing A N7105 to an N7100 (or the other way around) is a recipe for major disaster.
Flashing the image should fix the problem, but it also depends. If the EFS is really totally corrupt, it won't help, you need to have that EFS backup or take the phone to someone who can repair it for you. There are specialist tools to repair EFS, but they cost quite a bit of money. Most reliable phone unlocking places should have something that can help you.
Anyway, hopefully restoring to stock will fix the problem.
Good luck.

Thanks for information, but how do I know that if the EFS is "totally" corrupt, "partially" corrupt, or not corrupt at all? In fact, I never touch the EFS in the root. Also, as I am not quite sure that if I have any previous EFS(S) backup or not, so, if possible, where does the backup(s) most likely to be found?

If you haven't taken an EFS backup yourself, then you won't have any.
I don't know the difference between corruption levels either, all I know is I've read a number of forum posts where someone has reflashed stock and their EFS data (i.e. the right IMEI number) is back. So I'd consider that to be a partial corruption. Others have flashed back to stock and it's still a bogus IMEI
Basically, flash back to stock. If it doesn't work, you'll have to take it in for repair.
UPDATE: Please read on - this information is incorrect - it is possible to recover with the correct modem flashed.

Before doing the flash with Odin, do I have to perform a factory reset? Since all the app data and homescreen layout remains the same after the reboot and the IMEI is also the same as before. And is it normal that my device got unrooted after flashing the stock firmware?

NOTE: The information from me in this post below is wrong

It's normal your device got unrooted, yes. If your IMEI is still the same after ODIN and stock flash, then you have major issues (sorry!)
Doing a factory reset etc won't help. Your /efs partition is either gone or corrupt.
What IMEI does *#06# show?

[Help] Phone won't detect sim. Unknown Baseband and IMEI

So... I seem to be having the efs corruption issue with my co-worker's phone. I've been searching all over and have found how others have solved the problem, but it seems that our nv_data.bin is not located in our efs directory.
Does anyone have any idea where these files are? I need to check the last modified dates of their backup files to see if I can restore them >.<
Any help is greatly appreciated!!
Bump.. If anyone knows where these files are this could help us from running into the corrupt efs problem that many people have had. Usually backing up your efs prevents your phone from becoming unable to function as a phone.
I do remember reading something about our unlock code not being present in our nv_data.bin.. And when I check my efs folder in both my, as well as my co-worker's phone there is no nv_data.bin so maybe it has been relocated??
Anyone with knowledge on this subject.. your input would be greatly appreciated! I'm also gonna read over the unlock threads to see if there is any relevant info there.
I am having this problem now, I know you posted this over a month ago, but please tell me you know the location of the backup files or any other solution for this?'
Thank you,
[Q] T989 - Baseband and IMEI Unknown
I have searched and read many threads already. I understand the i9100 uses a file called nv_data.bin and requires its .bak file for a fix.
But, I dont think the t989 is the same because these files dont seem to exist, or at least not in the locations the threads for i9100 state. I am wondering if anyone has had this problem and/or how they fixed it. I know it was caused because of trying to unlock, but I'm looking for a solution.
Thanks!
just buy one of those $20 online unlock or go to your local phone kiosk to have it unlocked
any one with a machine to unlock Samsung phones can get this phone unlocked easily
there's no software unlock yet, as you have found on your searches
I have T-Mobile and don't really care for the unlock, it was a mistake. At this point, I just want to fix the unknown IMEI and unknown Baseband issue. Because of this problem my phone cannot get a signal... Will performing a machine unlock fix this problem?
Note: When I type in *#06# the response is not my IMEI number. It says "null"

What does the (d) stand for?
And, how can I make sure this never happens again in the future? I know there are backup options out there (CWM, Nandroid), but are there any that make a complete clone of the phone's image? In case I mess up the efs or IMEI files again I can restore and be ok.

I wonder if the new Galaxy Nexus has its IMEI files stored similarly. If so, we can join forces with that forum group.
If Android is not mounting your firmware properly in the system this will cause no baseband and no imei detected. i would try and flash the stock rom to make sure.

Did it twice, the stock rom, modem, and kernel.
The radio (modem firmware) might have got corrupted if somebody tried to flash international GS2 ROM or modem.
Try to flash only the Radio (KL1 is the latest for T-Mobile) via ODIN (use PDA slot).

Would the KL1 work any different than the older one? I tried ODINing the original one, and it didn't work and increased the count so I didn't try the KL1.
I just got my replacement phone yesterday for this same problem. Flashed the stock kernal, and also the modem just to be safe and nothing would fix it. From what I know its just a hardware issue, not software. I was chatting with samsung and t-mobile people about this trying all kinds of fixes to nothing left but hardware defect.

[Q] EMEI number changed. how to restore it?

Hi,
I bought second hand a Galaxy Note II. everything works fine except it can´t connect to any provider. I checked the EMEI and it is not the one in the back label.
I searched in Lost or Stolen phones database and this altered EMEI showed up as belonging to an Apple iPhone stolen in Kenya. The search of the legal EMEI in the back label showed no results so I suppose if I can restore the correct EMEI, it should work.
Why the former owner changed a working EMEI to a not working one is beyond my understanding. The phone seems to have the legal not altered firmware or so it says when you enter download mode. May be he attempted to unlock the phone but instead of that he ended up replacing the EMEI information and blocked the phone.
I bought the phone from a trusted seller in ebay who sells stock returns, shop liquidations, etc. I trust them but they don't know the history of the phone before they received it.

Did your imei change to 004999010640000? this is a common problem happening to lots of people when they flashed the newest firmware and then an older, if thats the case; you should try to flash the original firmware(Sammobile), or look if somewhere in the memory of the phone a file called efs backup is found. Otherwise you're having a big problem.

You can try, I heared rumor that it saved some of their phone. If that doesn't work there won't be any way you'll get your original imei back for free, so you'll possibly need to contact Samsung. Try to install the latest firmware of samsung(MG1 I guess).

[Q] Generic IMEI after OTA 4.3 upgrade

Hello to everyone, I was wondering if anyone can help with this. I have a Galaxy Note 2 branded by an Italian company (3hg Italia). It recently received its update to Android 4.3 (update N7100XXUEML2). It was the official update OTA, the phone is not rooted and it had the stock ROM on it. The update somehow messed up my IMEI making it appear as the generic 0049 forcing me on "Emergency calls only" mode. I already tried flashing the same ROM with Odin and repeating the update with KIES, but while the updates always results successful the IMEI remains 0049. I never made a backup of the EFS folder for this phone since I haven't rooted it or flashed any different ROM on it yet. There is any chance that the phone made an automatic backup? I live in the States right now and Samsung tells me I need to ship it back to Italy to have it fixed, but that costs a lot and would take forever, and I would much prefer try to solve the problem locally. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, if not for any fix that I can try myself, at least some place on the West Coast that can fix the problem!
Thank you!
Lorenzo
Oh I forgot to add that because of Hardware problems I recently sent my phone to Samsung and they replaced the motherboard, which fixed the problem I was having. I don't know if that could be related!

So I found someone nice enough to give me a hand with this situation, but still no luck yet! Here what they say:
At first glance, the EFS data on the phone was corrupt. I re-generated
that data and restored it to the phone without success.
The GSM radio itself is operational, and the firmware for it is
installed and functional. diagnostic data flows to the towers and back
to the phone but it's not reading the IMEI from the copy of
nv_data.bin contained within EFS. I've re-generated and installed
those files as well, again with no luck.
I rolled the device back to it's original factory firmware and radio
baseband, then ran through the update for the radio baseband, which
also regenerates the contents of EFS, and still no luck.
Given the situation, anyone have other suggestions?

HELP!! Lost IMEI number!!!

Lost the imei tinkering.. Have no clue how but it is now missing from the settings and will not connect to the network. This is on my tmo g3. Please help
Dial *#06#

What have you done to the phone?
Most of the time there is a sticker under the battery.
Yeah but what do i use to get the imei back inside the phone instead of just the sticker
Will donate if somebody can help me figure this out..
Isn't this that efs backup stuff talked about in the PurpleDrake thread?
Sent from my LG-D851 using Tapatalk
As Skizzy034 noted you'll need to have performed an EFS backup. You can either flash the zips you made or use ADB to restore the partition.
Or call t mobile and tell em your phone does not work right and get replacement. You still never said what happened? What did you do right before issue happened?
I believe I saw a efs recovery method in the lg g2 forum but it looked like a long process and it might not even work for our phone. If I was you I would try to find it quick because normally anything that can potentially spoof imei numbers gets deleted when a moderator notices it.

That's of no help unless somebody comes out with a method for restoring without a backup (I've seen it done with a couple devices). Until that happens, unfortunately there's not a lot you can do with the device.

What about if your phone has the WRONG imei number after flashing a ROM? Does that matter? The phone still works.
I don't have any info on being able to help but this is a prime example of why you take the few extra steps and back up. Most of the time I'll admit, in fact I have never needed mine but on those rare occasions its literally a phone saver.

Same happened to me! Did you fixed it or send it back for repair?
Editing the IMEI in any way is illegal and against our rules. The only allowed way is to have a backup. Anything else is not allowed here.
Also do not Suggest people send the device in to be repaired under warranty. This is Fraud and also not allowed.

[Q] N7100 generic IMEI 0049 on 4.4.2

Please help me with my situations.
It is almost 1 week phone start making this problem. From beginning my phone getting boot loop. I have not root the phone. It is originally stock rom. I thought that the system get corrupted and then try to flash the phone with stock rom N7100XXUFNG4_N7100OLBFNG1_N7100DXUFND2_HOME.tar with odin.
This was my first time flashing this phone so I did not know anything about any EFS backup. After successfuly flashing the stock rom, at first I feel glad but suddenly I have got emergency call only. Then after what I have been searching and reading for almost a week, it was my IMEI 0049.
I have tried flash the stock rom again but the problem still remain. I have tried downgrade to 4.1.2 but the odin won't let me flash it. I have tried delete the EFS folder and paste the backup nv_data.bin but the IMEI 0049 still there. I don't have any service box so I can't repair my EFS from my computer. Is there any solutions I really really appreciate if and you guys can help with my problem. Thank you :good:

You try using nvwriter to inject the imei.

Have you tried flashing the stock rom again? I assume nd2 is the latest rom for your phone.

I have not try the other version firmware yet, is it possible the wrong firmware corrupted my imei?
It is possible that the ROM flashed is too old.
I see stock ROMs here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/GT-N7100/

Can you suggest me stock firmware? I am from Malaysia
I don't see firmware specifically for Malaysia. What is the original country or carrier for the phone? Where did you get the firmware that you flashed to the phone?

Well my country carrier starts with +6. I just ask my cousin to download that firmware for me since my house internet always disconnected I don't know why. I just ask him to download the latest firmware for my country.
That nvwriter guide is not for my phone. Is it work also with my phone?
Sorry, I'm not too familiar with nvwriter. I just know that some people have used it with Samsung phones.
The nv writer look promising, but it cannot read my phone cause when I select the rmnet/rndis/+dm+modem, it is only showing unknown device. Hmm my samsung usb driver already up to date.
