Just an FYI this is the wrong section, it should be posted in Help & Troubleshooting.
But anyways check these posts out, I had lost my EFS and NV files and following that helped get everything running again.

You didn't say how, or what you were doing when you lost them but if you were trying some of the 4.4 ROMs it will appear that way on some phones, mine being one. Download a stock ROM and flash it after wiping all, don't have to wipe external SD. Or if you still have one of the ROMs installed pm me and i will walk you through getting it going. If it's unrelated to flashing, follow the advice given.
Hi am Vinod from india , i own a samsung galaxy nexus i9250 ( GSM Unlocked and Rooted) . Am a regular flasher of new Roms in my device and try to experiment new things .
Things you should not do and What i have done :
1, Format Factory using CWM .:crying: ( Quite now remember that one contributor mentioned in the development section that format factory using CWM leads to mess up the Baseband and IMEI [did before read that post ] ) .
Things you should do and How to Restore your IMEI and BASEBAND :
1. Ultimate Solution is BACKUP your rom before doing anything silly or flashing hard (I did and it made my device to get back to normal )
IF NOT atleast Backup your EFS :
1. Using this Tool Bacup your EFS and save it in safe place(Cloud :victory: )
EFS Why ? EFS is the one most important in any device ., if people flashing hard(back to back) or formating factory will lead to corrupt your factory folder .so its the better and best ever thing to backup and save it . You can restore factory folder using the same application :laugh: .
The above method are temporary fix can someone guide me or share the link for permanent fix ?
PS : Dont scold me if this been answered many a times but unfortunately am not able to find any one :crying: (my bad) .

It is possible if you have backup your efs before if not you need to re write the imei with a box it is easy and it cost arround 10 dollars

Then you need to flash the patched modem every time you install a new rom

STILL NOOO HELP
Please me, i have lost my IMEI saying NULL / NULL and im getting not registered on error. I have not backed up ESF folder as well.
Struggling from last 5 days to fix it up. some how i got Modem_N7100XXDMG1 and flashed. After that i have got some fake IMEI.
Tried flashing STOCK ROM 4.4.2, but still no luck.
Read on some forum that MODEM of 4.1.2 or J.B 4.3 resolves this issue but when i try to downgrade from 4.4.2 to 4.3 via ODIN it straight away shows FAILS in RED
IM using Note N7100 K.K.4.4.2
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME.
If you have no backup and the stock ROM did not work, they you are pretty much out of luck. I had a backup but the IMEI didn't come back until I flashed a different modem. I used modem_XXDME4.
If you know what your IMEI number was, then there are ways to write that number directly into the phone. Need to send the phone to someone that has the hardware though. You can buy it yourself but it costs about the same as a motherboard replacement. Youtube "N7100 Android 4 3 imei repair z3x" to see what I'm talking about.
If you don't know the number, don't have a backup, then you'll have to change the motherboard.
You can find your IMEI number on the back of your phone though.. Pull out the battery, it's printed above your device's serial number.
I have my IMEI, i just wanted the solution through software can i change my IMEI or i have to go service center that would cost about Rs. 5000 minimum.
modem_XXDME4 is S3 modem, how can i flash it on note 2 N7100.
PLEASE HELP
@dineshdotcom2000 have you tried different modem? I had the same problem like yours and flashing my region's modem didn't solve the problem. I flashed European modem - modem_XXDME4 - and the dummy IMEI changed back to the original. Maybe you should give it a try.
Here is the link https://www.dropbox.com/s/5mrtz2c6s29ibxt/modem_XXDME4__.zip
I flashed the exact same file on my device and it worked. Good luck :good:

I have already used this modem. Right now i have some fake imei with "004999010640000/1 i want to replace this IMEI with my original imei on Note 2 N7100.
Any way to do it???
Please help
Find a service in india that has a z3x box. They can write the IMEI directly without swapping the motherboard.
just search, a few days ago there was the same problem solved probably in Q&A thread

Same problem,Did you fix it.Please help me
Hey guys soo i rooted, then got a recover but forgot to backup and then i did advanced wipe where i deleted everything. I then got a custom rom and everything worked fine until I realised baseband was unknown and imei was nowhere to be found. I then went back to stock firmware via sammobile. Baseband is back but imei is now 00499.... I've looked for hours and can't seem to find a way to get it back. Ia there anyone who can help? Perhaps a software to rewrite imei? Any help is much appreciated guys
EDIT: i can get my hands on another note 2, can i simply copy the efs folder and replace it into my note 2?
