Here is a working EFS folder which you would put in your root to replace your old non working EFS file which has your IMEI.. Simple copy your origal EFS folder to your desktop and place my EFS folder in your root.... Vuala your 4G is back and no more edge.....
Only tested on T-Mobile....

I would say yes, but more importantly, if it really does work, then all of us can just backup our own EFS folder
I read that the EFS folder does not contain the IMEI, but what the hell, might as well backup that folder on my external SD (done..)
Just in case there's something to it.

Well I'm not a pro at this, is their a problem sharing my IMEI? Would that cause me issues?
What I do know is that you can back up your working EFS folder and if you ever loose your IMEI just copy back that folder and your good...

Unfortunately that seems to not be the case with the Galaxy S3.. read up on the "lost IMEI" threads

Ingen what exactly do you mean bro? This way worked for me like a charm I restored my IMEI in seconds......

Jarule51082 thanks for the files, I haven't tried yet because I don't know if its safe to put your folder in place of mine, hoping someone can confirm if it is or isn't.

i tried and it doesn't work for me.
the problem with my phone is when i paste my efs folder to the root of the phone. when if reset or reboot my phone my the permission change.
the redata.bin files permission change from "rw-rw-r--" to "rw-r--r--"
i can manually change the permission back to rw-rw-r-- but when i reboot the phone it keep changing back to rw-r--r-- no matter what.
i try to do a fix permission but it won't lets me

I'll see if one of my friends can let me borrow their S3 so u can I try it on theirs.. It should be.... What you can do is back up your current EFS folder on your External and replace it with mine and see if it works... The phone boots up with the EFS deleted completely so it should be no problem putting another working EFS folder in there.... Just saying... But your welcome bro no problem..
My BEAST!!

Liquid you did take your other EFS folder out completely right? It didn't just make a other like efs1 or something like that?
Just a thought if it worked for anyone let me know if it didn't ill take it down.. It worked for me flawlessly but it might be limited to its own devise... So if more do test keep us in the loop... Thanks

Look, aside from my reservations that you might be doing something malicious, even if your intentions are good what you're suggesting is based on what you THINK, and all data posted on the subject so far says that you're wrong. I'm talking about data from experienced users and devs that have worked on this issue specifically for weeks/months.
Maybe you're a good guy who just isn't that wise, but the only thing people could do that would be fairly safe (barring any permanent loss of their own IMEI that could happen) would be to copy their OWN IMEI, and test things with that.
There are too many risks both to you and the person who uses your IMEI.

Your probably right I'm just trying to share what worked for me.... I'm not malicious I'm just trying to help.
My BEAST!!

Guys,
What Ingen said is true you can use this method and back up your own IMEI so if you ever loose it just put the EFS file back in and you'll be good.... I apologize if my IMEI did not work for the ones who lost it...... Thanks again guys....

Depends, what carrier are you on? If you're on Sprint use GB27, Boost is GC01, and Virgin Mobile is GB28. Follow the instructions in the first post and you should be fine.

You shouldn't need to, it is the stock ROM for your phone everything should work. Try a different USB cable and make sure the Samsung Driver suite is installed

You can also try flashing the latest Project X v3.9

Did you flash to Boost using a donor phone? Or is it the E4GT from Boost?

I really think something got screwed up when you replaced the digitizer cuz ice never heard of any of these issues after Odining Stock, actually never heard of them at all.

Bare with me ....Not sure what you mean by donor phone...this phone is a original phone i purchased from boost...no other phone or esn have been modified...Only thing ive done was root and custom rom...and in that process somehow erased everything...so iam guessing i need to put all info back somehow...so the activation process can start...if that makes since...thank for your patients..

Ok ..you must off missed one of my post....but i got stock flashed back on phone with odin..after several attemps..and used different usb port...but my only problem now is that iam still missing all phone data,,,imei..radio off..msl not working...i know what my imei no is..and msl..but is there away to get it back on the phone...dont have any nandroid backups...kinda did some searching on this...i tried using GSII repair..to bring back that folder thats holds all that info..but that was a no go...tried to find some kind of imei restore program...no luck finding one...really dont know wht to do next.....

Well since you don't have any of Boost info you're Odin flash didn't go right I'm guessing.

IMEI is 0 -- ODIN restore?

Sadly, it seems my IMEI has been set to zero.
I can still make calls and text, but my data is on Edge network only.
I've been doing some searching and reading (by some I mean a lot) and I guess I'm getting a little confused in it all.
Would using ODIN to reset my phone to stock fix the IMEI?
I have the IMEI on a sticker on the phone, could TMobile reset the IMEI for me?
Thanks in advance.

Swap it if you have insurance. If not search xda for fix.

Yes Odin will fix the Issue. Please choose correct firmware to flash via Odin.

Thanks for the response.
Trying to confirm I get the RIGHT rom for my device.
Went to sammobile.com/firmwares/
Looking at all the options for SGH-T999, do I have to made basebands to what I have now (T999UVDLJA) which is dated Oct 2012, or is that something that gets "updated" if I apply the latest rom (March 2014)?

Depends on what you had before all these problems. You must choose that same version otherwise you may hard brick the phone.

*sigh*
And I suppose there's no way to know that? I don't have a back up or anything...
Is there anyway to determine?
Thanks for your help and direction thus far!

Oh Sure. There are other ways to determine. If possible post a photo of the download screen. Otherwise type out exactly what you see when the phone is in download mode.

I'm assuming that is the info you were looking for?

Yes that's what I needed. I suggest please use UVDMD5 Version of Root66 to flash via Odin.

Excellent.
So follow directions and get files from here?: http://www.androidayos.com/2013/05/...y-bean-without-binary-flash-counter-increase/

Well. Yes. I'd direct you to the Thread here under Android Development.

Yeap. The link I posted actually takes you back to the link you provided.
Both bookmarked.
I hope to do this tonight.
If I understand this correctly, this should flash my phone back to stock with my valid IMEI
Using this Route66 I will have root on the phone and should then be able to do a CM install if I choose?

Yes and yes.
If that is your desire, then while you are in Odin, flash a custom Recovery such as TWRP or CWM as well.

... I will have to research on how to do that too then.
First concern is getting the IMEI back so that I can actually USE the phone with data -- regardless if it's CM or stock OS.

As the UVDMD5 will have correct modem, hopefully that will restore IMEI. Otherwise we may have to see what happens.

hmmm sort of seems to have worked... stuck at the "SAMSUNG" screen though.
Reading other links says I should have cleared cache before doing?

Hmmm cleared cache.
Did factory reset.
Still stuck at pulsating "SAMSUNG" logo...

Ok got into phone... ugh is stock ROM just painful. Who designs these things?!?!
Sadly, IMEI is still set at 0
this doesn't seem to have worked

Can't TMobile just restore the IMEI if I take it to one of their stores?

[Galaxy Note II GT-N7100] Failed network registration and generic IMEI change

Probably this is a common issue, and you may want to kill me after opening a new thread for this. I'm so sorry, at the moment I'm very worried because my phone suddenly lost network services and I have no idea how to deal with these things, I'm really bad at flashing and such thing.
Problem is that after a year and half since I bought my Samsung Galaxy Note II GT-N7100, suddenly today this issue appeared.
The device has root access (not performed by me) with Kingo SuperUser/SuperSU. Once I realized it was rooted, I googled and proceeded to perform a factory reset (restarted device with power + volume up + home buttons, which leaded me to android system recovery 3e), which didn't help at all.
If I dial *#06# the IMEI it shows 004999010640000 / 01 but the one I see under the battery slot is (2014) IMEI: 359xxx/05/853xxx/4 (I don't know if this data is relevant, just trying to help).
I found this thread in this forum, which seems to be the same problem I'm facing right now, but I don't have any backup of those files, plus I don't know how to flash this specific phone :crying:
I'll really appreciate any kind of help you can provide me to fix my phone.
Here's a screenshot of the device info (it's in spanish but some names are easily understandable)

Thanks for the advice!
I haven't tried anything but a hard reset. I don't know how to flash a phone, and I'm pretty sure I can screw it up if I try xD
I just heard about sammobile.com, but I don't know how to proceed even on that website.
Anyway, I hope there's something I can try before making that kind of "flashing"

If the imei doesn't get restored after flashing the latest stock ROM from Sammobile.com, you would need to try other methods to fix there imei problem.

Common issue... More than you imagine. Happens to me all the time. But I have one solution in my case Wich is just flash the EFS partition in my previous nandroid backup, but since to be you only were rooted and not custom recovery, I guess you don't have a nandroid backup. Only solution here is flash thru Odin and all will be good.

Just managed to flash it using the latest rom available, thankfully it went quite smooth.
Unfortunatelly I still face the: "Selected Network (Digi.Mobil) not available" I'm wondering what else could I do? Btw my imei is: 004999010640000/01, found a post on xda that this is some kind of a generic imei. Do you have any idea?

Unfortunately no backup and my original motherboard was replaced about a year ago, and from then on I don't know the exact IMEI.

If you had the original IMEI, you could take it to a cell repair shop to change back to the original imei.
Not sure how to fix the issue since you don't have a EFS backup.
