O.k. but did you copy .nd_data.bak to nv_data.bin and .nv_data.bak.md5 to nv_data.bin.md5? Did you do it trough some root explorer after mount factory folder as r/w..?

Is your IMEI 004999010640000 ? This is Z3X box service IMEI.
what does it mean if it is the Z3X box service IMEI ?

sorry for being late
yes we do that but i dont remember we do this function r/w
maybe that is the problem?
I had this problem with my s2 i9100p, I just kept switching roms until one of them worked with my calls despite the bad IMEI, and then sold it
Try to do it when you mount factory folder as r/w.. after that you have to restart your phone. I suggest if you have some old backup made it with twrp or other that backup part of os you can find this original radio files at data/radio folder. After copying these files to factory folder everything will run just fine.

So far, there has been no solution to restore IMEI other than sending your phone to a service center.
i didnt backup
I'll say it again.
Send your phone to an authorized service/repair center.
Just restore a stock rom will fix it i gues. But i have a backup a backup if needed. From a simlock free phone (Dutch) If you still need it tomorrow tell. I can upload. For no i got to go to werk and sleep after it.

sorry, i cant give you my efs
Here i have the "bml5: block level representation of /dev/stl5 (efs)" Its from Android V2.3.3 Dutch lang. (EU) Its from a simlock free phone. If you're phone is not simlock free you might brick you're phone restoring this file. But you might be able to just use some files from it.
Links efs here: http://www.mediafire.com/myfiles.php#40r2f7d5q02hf
It would be best to flash a V2.3.3 stock rom before trying this.

utcollector you can tell me PLZ how to do that?
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.

Yes, that's exactly the EMEI number!
no efs backup file found.
I will try flashing stock BTU firmware from Sammobile but can this restore the EMEI?

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).

The OP says this won't work in my case:
Q: My imei number like 0000**** or 0049**** if i flash this patch it will work or it will bring my original imei number back ?
A: This patch is not about your EFS Folder it is just about network so it won't fix your imei number or bring your original imei number back.

This basically means you have corrupted the EFS partition of your phone. This can only be fixed in two ways:
1. Like @johntheredimid mentioned, you need to restore the backup (if you took a backup) of your EFS partition before it was corrupted. The method for restore can be found here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2420902
2. If you didn't take a backup, you need to take your phone to a service center and ask them to fix it for you. Would probably have to have your board replaced. So you should install your country's firmware and unroot properly before taking it there. Unrooting methods can be found in the general section.
Looks like this problem is widespread

in the same post he have mentioned how to recover lost imei/efs please read
How to recover lost IMEI that happens with downgrading ROM
If you have lost IMEI just by downgrading (as said by above by flashing older ROM), still you can recover IMEI without having EFS backup.
-Again upgrade ROM will restore IMEI OR
-Flash latest Modem. You can find it here.. You can download MG1 modem and flash using PC Odin with 'Phone' tab instead of PDA.
Remember above said works only if IMEI is corrupted by downgrading ROM only, if it was corrupted by other things, this won't be helpful.
Also Read This, if you have issue restoring EFS OR device stuck to factory mod.
Hope this will find helpful to all newbies regarding question about EFS and IMEI problem. I have posted this to general section so newbie can post to it if they have any queries.

No one helped me and i think no one wont help you either i dont have M9 now if i had i'll post a efs backup immediatelly
There is no efs partition on HTC phones. It only exists on Samsung phones.
You probably flashed a GSM RUU on a CDMA device or vice versa. Return to your original firmware and hope that you didn't damage the phone unrecoverably since the partition layout isn't the same on those two variants.
