Some questions here...
I have just rooted my stock DMF2 rom and got efs backup. Then i flashed the latest perseus kernel.
I wanna flash the latest omega rom but i read somewhere that if i flash a non DMF2/ME6 based rom, i will get a imei error.
Is there anyway i can flash omega rom without getting an imei error?
Thanks for helping and sorry for my english.

well try it yourself since you have a backup.
Make sure that also have a backup of your Modem and Build, (found in settings under Baseband (modem) and Build Number).
because your EFS backup would work 100% if both of these were the same when you're restoring.
If things didn't go on well, then you can reflash the ROM.
in case the backup wouldn't work (works once then no signal on next restart), then what you have to do is as follows:
1-Flash the ROM that has the same build number as the one you had when you backed up your EFS
2-Restore your EFS and restart
3-Restart again, if there's no signal, then restore your EFS again and restart once.
4-Downgrade your Baseband to any version (I prefer DME4).
5-Perform an OTA update (OTA works if you had status normal and an IMEI and phone signal, so you need your EFS to be restored and the signal working, for the status normal you need 0 flash counts and Full Wipe of data through VolUp+Home+Power).
6-If you have ROOT, then don't touch Install or Install all! click on later.
7-Get Odin Mobile Pro (you need the Pro Version). and run it.
8-Click on "OTA/ update.zip". point it to "/Cache/Fota(might find random numbers here)/update.zip". In case you can't find the file, just use Root Explorer, and copy the update.zip to anywhere on the SdCard0 or extSdCard, and Point Odin to it.
9-Check the EveRoot Option and Odin Pro.
10-Flash the ROM.
now you'll have the same build number, but your baseband is now updated correctly. Just restore the EFS one more time and restart and it should work.
Note: If you may tell me your current baseband and buildnumber, I could save you time by giving you my files if I have the same as you.

My note 2 is less than a month old. i had a bad flashing experience after flashing MIUI Rom for my phone on the note 2 android development thread.This was my first rom flashing on the phone. I luckily backed up my EFS.img before flashing. After flashing the rom i lost my IMEI...i had another issues with the rom hence restored nandroid backup of my phone using CWM. & since then after restoring my EFS.img each time i will get my IMEI back but if i reboot my phone for any reason the IMEI is wiped out. I have tried restoring using the command from the elevated Terminal emulator & using EFS pro tool.
Still the same...each time i have to restart my phone i will lose my IMEI.
is there any way of keeping my EFS partition or IMEI intact after each reboot . I am on stock ROM but i didnt flash it back using ODIN as i mentioned earlier i restored my nandroid backup.
Any help will be greatly appreciated...Please help

it seems that the backup u created u must have left your efs in selecting while backup thus the recovery backup is not giving your imei back rather u are doing it manually so once u get it done , I would suggest to flash fresh using odin

flash the pit partition first using odin and then the stock it should solve the issue permanently if not take it to service center
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31801134&postcount=4
download pit from here and then flash the stock rom
if you dont want to take risk just go stock completely and use triangle away and get your status normal and count zero and give it to ss saying that the imei gets off. let them solve

thanks again for your time & reply...before flashing the pit partition i would like to know what are the risks involved in flashing pit...do i need to backup my data on internal memory..i flashed pit on my samsung galaxy s advance a few months back to recover the complete storage space on it as it was reduced to 4 gb from 16 gb after flashing jellybean update from sammobile.com..so tell me what are the risks involved & what does flashing pit actually does on the phone..

btw...before installing stock rom via ODIN i put the phone in the download mode & as it had to restart to go into download mode the IMEI was wiped automatically as that was the issue...but i flashed stock firmware via ODIN & as the phone booted up IMEI was not there & hence i restored i using EFS pro again & i now i have checked it the IMEI stays after the phone restart...so the issue is fixed...thanks a ton for your reply & help :good::good:
I wanted to get all of your opinion on backing up the IMEI.
My situation is, I had rooted last year with the s3 toolkit. 1st rom I flashed was paranoid android then now i'm always flashing Task's AOKP. I'm currently on an older release of his rom (5-21-13) and i've probably flashed it a dozen times without any problems.
My question is, should I continue flashing this rom even though I have not backed up my IMEI or EFS folder or should I flash back to stock right away then, backup IMEI/EFS and continue flashing task's rom? Are the chances high of losing IMEI even though i've flashed the same rom for at least a year now?
I have an AT&T SGH-I747 with baseband DLK3.
In addition, if I were to flash back to stock, can I just use this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2161667
Unfortunately the download link is no longer there so would anyone have a copy?
Also, would this be the best / easiest way to backup the IMEI as of right now? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1804117
Thank you!:cyclops:

I don't know about backing up your IMEI but if you want to switch back to stock 4.1.1 I recommend using this instead: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2363882
It worked like a charm when I was on LK3
always have a backup... as for me i have a copy in my 2 emails, dropbox, work hdd and home hdd... fixing qualcomm imei its much easy and anyone could fix them, in exynos cpu the history its diferent...

Unfortunately EFSpro will only let me do the option under backup on EFS Professional to backup the tz, efs, modemst1, and modemst2. Qualcomm crashes due to me currently being on AOSP. Looks like you must be on stock in order to use that. Any tools that will work for other roms besides stock?

If I were to go back to stock it would simply be to backup the IMEI then flash back to AOSP right away. It looks like that restores stock everything (stock kernel, stock rom, and stock recovery)
I would like to keep my recovery but flash stock rom for AT&T S3 through TWRP so I can keep my recovery.
I backed up my imei because the more posts I read, the more it seemed like having a backup would be crucial if you wanted to restore and be successful.
Since that stock rom that I linked to was no longer active, I searched my old backups and found a stock CWM nandroid backup I made after I rooted. I was on TWRP so I flashed the recovery back to CWM via rom manager. Restore the stock nandroid I made then backed up my IMEI.
Switched back to TWRP and made a nandroid backup of the stock rom with twrp so I don't have to mess with recoveries in the future.
Flashed my 5-21 nandroid that was Task's AOSP then just updated to his latest 9-10 release.
All is great and I have a full NV backup.
Thank you all for the suggestions.

Download a terminal app(root required one) then type su enter reboot nvbackup.
To restore it's su reboot nvrestore.
!!!!!!DO NOT RESTORE BEFORE YOU BACKUP!!!! You will overwrite nv with empty data possibly losing imei forever.

Hey guys. I installed cyanogenmod 11 yesterday on my note 2. i ran into some problems. There was no service, imei and baseband fields were blank. i couldn't dial the *#After countless afters searching xda i managed to fix it by reverting back to the stock Samsung firmware (4.3).
My question is how do i install cyanogenmod 11 and also get network service now that i have my imei and base-band back. I'm not familiar with efs backing up or what to do with it to get network service working on a customer rom.
Any help is appreciated. thanks

To do that you must be rooted and have a custom recovery.
Download and Install PHILZ recovery latest version.
Make Nandroid backup using recovery. Keep it somewhere safe.
Download doctor Ketan's Multitool zip file and install it via recovery.
Now you will see Aroma window with various options. Chose EFS BACKUP.
Exit Multitool and restart the phone.
Copy EFS backup from internal memory card to Phone (approximately 20mb size)
Now Flash any rom u like.
Press thumps up if you found this suggestion helpful.

Hello other solution is to use TWRP recovery , when you do a bakup whis this recovery you can choose what you want to keep : EFS, data, system etc... and where int SdCard or extSdCard.
I hope this can help you.
This is killing me.
I have the LG D852 v20j from Koodo/Telus in Canada stock 5.0.1
I bumped and rooted and installed TWRP 3.0.1 (unofficial)
I then backed up everything via TWRP (including EFS)
I also followed the manual method here to generate two .img files for EFS backup:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/efs-lg-g3-efs-backup-restore-t2907329
I upgraded to a stock based MM ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/canadian-d852-stock-bumped-rooted-rom-t3056843
IMEI was still there
I flashed the MM Videotron Modem he provided and I lost my IMEI number
Flashing the TELUS MM Modem doesn't work either
To restore it I have tried:
1- Restoring from TWRP the EFS alone
2- Reflashing the Dene ROM
3- Restoring EFS via manual method (works sucessfully but still "Unknown" IMEI)
4- Completely restoring via TWRP and even then trying the manual method
So, I have two backups (manual method and TWRP) and I still cannot restore my IMEI and get on any network.
I thought backups were foolproof.
What do I do?
I just had to flash an old LP BELL modem on the MM ROM and it worked. No need to restore efs partition.
see here for solution:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-...rooted-rom-t3056843/post66184123#post66184123
try flashing the MM stock rom you flashed and check if the IMEI is there. if it is, your best bet is to - from within that rom - go back to stock kdz/tot method and hopefully you get it back, you can then restore your backup with IMEI intact. this is what fixed my "unknown" IMEI from this exact situation except different model. another thing you can try before the kdz/tot method is to flash the MM rom and then restore your backup but do not reboot your device, after you restore your backup, flash the appropriate bootstack then you can reboot.
Ok, so the issue is resolved.
I just had to flash a working LP (BELL in this case worked) modem
Solution thanks to Dene here:

Hi guys!
I'm sorry if it's been asked before.
I did clean install from CB 3.5.3 to 3.2.7 and flashed official twrp everything works except LTE which is not turning on.
I flashed 3.2.6 but same problem.
I did LTE only by using USSD code but it doesn't work also, now I'm stuck to 3g only can anyone help me in this regard?
Which TWRP are you using? There's a modified version to deal with this problem-not completely flashing ROMs. My suggestion is to dirty flash just the modem and firmware for 3.2.7 separately. If that doesn't work, you will have to clean install (wipe dalvik/art/system/cache) then flash the 3.2.7 firmware/modem, re-wipe, then re-flash 3.2.7.
Flash modified twrp 3.0.2-19 and then flash 3.2.7 Firmware + Modem. Wipe. Then flash the ROM.
VoLTE work around on stock / CB
Clean Flash Stock / CB rom using twrp .
You first have to extract 4 files contained in the zip file attached .
Now make a efs backup from twrp
Now go in twrp>backups>device serial number folder>the most recent backup you made folder
And paste the 4 files and replace them with your efs files Then restore EFS back up only using twrp.
That worked for my friend on 3.2.6 stock who completely lost VoLTE , tried every thing found this solution by hit and trail hope it works for you as well.

Anyone tried this method?
Make sure you have chosen "Preferred SIM for data" as your LTE SIM and not your other sim. Otherwise LTE won't come on.
