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.

Hello,
i have the note 2 lte from my friend. He tried to root but i don't know what he did. He says that he flashed a "bootloader" but it was for the s3. I think i took the auto-root but flashed it in the "bootloader" and not "pda" in Odin.
The phone didn't boot.
I flashed a complete stock rom. Now it boots but IMEI is unknown and no basisband information. I made a first EFS backup here. I tried to flash a modem but it didn't help.
After several tries i get the "hidden menu" with EFS Professional. Now the NVTool works. I can read the IMEI over it. In the phone is the right IMEI so i don't need an injection.
Restore the EFS with my backup above don't help. I tried to make a factory default with Kies but it didn't help.
What is wrong? What can I do? Maybe the partition table is corrupted and so it has no baseband firmware? Why doesn't it show his IMEI when the NVTool (EFS Professional) can read it?
Thanks for your help and sorry about my bad english.

No, because my friend flashed "something" in the bootloader and bricked the phone. He gave me the phone.
I flashed a stock firmware over Odin, the phone boots and at this time it shows no baseband version and no imei in the settings menu.
I made an EFS backup but it was (maybe) already corrupted. I flashed older stock roms, modems only and tried the factory reset in Kies, nothing helped.
The NVTools in EFS Professional 2.0.35 shows me a correct imei number!

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
Hello I had Protax installed everything ran perfectly. But I installed the stockrom again. But then my IMEI was 0. I installed LineageOS and my IMEI was still 0. So I installed Xposed with an IMEI changer and changed my IMEI. And when I * # 06 # calls is also my right IMEI there. But in the settings my IMEI is 0. I can not make any calls or log in to the network. What can I do?
I think you cant do anything without efs partition backup
hi !
have you tried to flash a firmware with odin ? but with "re-partition" for a full restoration...
Or by a PC ,with smart swift or kies you have a process of restoration after a fail and errors...
i had that issue with my old s2 and a technique in a store got it fixed i gave him the box and he did it

i will only help on PM. no more help for public since no one help me here, no one answering my question here, even they (users) are know how to fix my problem, but they just can be a silent reader.
Long story short, I screwed up and I deleted everything from my EFI folder. No backup (captain hindsight) Doing a stock flash with Odin seemed to kinda restore the EFS, but I have generic IMEI and no network support. I have my IMEI (its on the back of the phone). I tried to write it with z3x, but it gives an error. I think its because my EFS is not "correct". If someone could provide me their EFS folder. NOT the IMEI folder or anything that you consider as sensitive (beggars cant be choosers) I would be grateful.
I am struggling 3 days now trying to get my phone back, every forum post and youtube video about restoring IMEI is a scam and/or full of viruses.
Any help would be appreciated, every guide that seemed legit is outdated and doesnt work on s9 with android Q.
Thanks in advance.

Did you ever manage to get this sorted, i have exactly same problem?
If your imei is screwed up try flashing the proper base band. Imei isn't stored in efs. And the imei is based on a cert file. Cannot just be written to the device
