[Q]EFS Help. - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II

Been reading these forums ever since i bought my I317 about a month ago, And after learning and softbricking a few times I decided to make an account here and get some help from the pro's. xD
The problem i'm running into is getting the EFS to the "point" where i can repair it
On my last softbrick, the IMEI was 0'd out but the next step replaced my IMEI with one that is*nt on the back of my phone.
I'm back on rooted N7105 International firmware and seeking help.
Any would be appreciated ;D.

I don't think anyone has had luck restoring imei number on this phone.. sorry

And also u are in the wrong thread..this is i317/i317m att

Lost IMEI and EFS repairs can be done...
Look for mobiletechvideos.com
They offer a restoration service for many devices...but it'll set you back $125...
Makes me wonder if it's worth it ...given the timing on the note 3 release date being so close...
Happy hunting ....g

I highly recommend you all read this thread & pass it on to other users! Maybe someone will post it in the Tmo development section also, but I wasn't sure if it was the proper place? This is a huge risk, and I don't want to see anyone else lose their phone, especially those without insurance!

Your IMEI is your phone's ID number to the network. No IMEI = goodbye connectivity to ATT/Tmobile/etc. Your phone just lost it's 2g/3g/4g capabilities. In the world of Apple, it's like your iphone turning into an ipod touch.

more bluntly, a phone without an IMEI won't get served a signal by AT&T, as posted earlier by someone else if you had read the topic. And what's a phone without a data OR voice connection.

No, Samsung phones from way back have had a history of corruption of the EFS partition/file/whatever.
This happened to me with my captivate a few years ago the only way to fix it was to send it to Samsung for a factory firmware reflash.

NO a nandroid restore has been proven unsuccessful, and I don't want to scare anyone, I want ppl to be informed! I myself have chosen not to flash anything else until more is discovered, but that's just my choice & I'm not as advanced as many users here on XDA.

I was so excited to root the phone and didn't even spend time to read. I went to find your device and typed in samsung galaxy sIII, then it pointed me to the i9300 section.
I found the rom there, then flashed it. After that it's too late.
About the tmo exchange, should i bring it in the store or call them?
I bought this from the local CL seller, What kind of info do i need to prove it's my phone?
I have never done this before. I just need to get prepare see if I can get it thru, thank you

Wait... what did T-Mobile say? What did you tell them? Never tell them the truth. I know this is frowned upon, but whatever.
Never say you got the phone off craigslist. Be firm that it's your phone. Most likely warranty isn't verified on your account because you didn't activate the phone with your SIM initially... since it is off CL..
Most importantly, be nice to the reps, if you put them in a good mood they will try to help you. They pushed through an exchange for me before.

There's 2 programs you can run, one generates a backup file from your phone. The other you input your imei and it generate a string of numbers in a box and your imei " should be in there. I say should because...... HELL NO.. I'm not going to try to put it back on my 6 hundred something dollar phone ( if I didn't lose my imei.. Honestly , it can't hurt to to do but, what of you backup up your efs and it don't fix it. This is precautionary , that's it .......

how to remove modem from rom?

i have a rom that is for the GT-N7000 model that looks pretty cool.
i was told tht if it doesn't have a modem i should be able to install it.
first i need to find if that is true and second how would i do it?
if someone knows how, please explain. explain it like i am 2 years old. don't want to mess up.
thanks in advance...

I already told him this when he first asked. By the way this is exactly why I told that guy to make sure he knew before answering.

By the way why are you so set on that ROM? Check it beans from the Verizon section it's safe and has the same options if not more

Or Eclipse if you want a pure blacked out ROM
