[Q] Note 2 efs lost - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi, i have note 2 N7100 international GSM Variant. the stock Rom was causing trouble so i downloaded another stock Rom and flashed it but forgot to back up EFS. now with the stock rom, there is emergency calls only and IMEI is 0049**********. So is there any way to get phone working. even i can go for custom rom if it comes with a modem to correct the IMEI. if there is any solution, plz let me know in detail specially for custom Rom. thanks.

It's answered here.

after flashed a N7100 Rom to my I317M, I got unknown baseband and IMEI

I got my galaxy note ii from Canada Rogers network just yesterday. In order to add more language option, I falshed a N7100 ROM to my I317M. After that I got no signal on the phone, and I check into the 'about device' option, I see unknown baseband, IMEI, network and so on. I had backup the efs file, but when I trying to flash back to my phone, just nothing happen.
I did research on that, find out that to flash a stock ROM maybe have a chance to fix the problem. however, I can not find a Rogers stock ROM anywhere, so I am writing to ask if someone can help me about to fix the phone. Thanks very much.
I hope you regret using Roms which are not for your specific model.
Ok, with that aside. I have no idea where to get Rogers Roms, but I just checked that i317m is AT&T version of Note2, perhaps you'll have more luck in that section?

Dude you seriously need to read up on things before going ahead and flashing stuff with all the wrong settings.
Ask in the AT&T forums.

This just happened to me with my i317m from rogers and all I did was use the Galaxy Note2 Toolkit to Root and install custom recovery. Voila no signal or baseband no sim etc... I returned it.

[Q] Help! Baseband/IMEI lost

i have a bell galaxy note 2, after i flashed some custom ROM, my phone stop working, i have found similar problem on the sprint form, but doesn't know how to fix, please help.
Problem #1:
After flashing a ROM, the GN2 is unable to activate the radio/modem. The following read "Unknown" in the "About Phone" menu:
Baseband, Network, Mobile Network Type, MEID, IMEI, ICCID.....etc. Basically anything to do with the mobile network.
Problem #2:
When booted up and running, PC will not recognize the phone as usual (unable to copy files to phone).
i try odin a bell stock still doesn't work, and when i boot into recovery it keep saying is a RWC rogers phone, does that have something to do with the problem? i also try kies too, still no luck.

This has nothing to do with development.
However unless you have a backup. You'll need to return your phone for a new one.

sorry i posted wrong place, where can i get help, i am new to this, and how do i delete this post
Make sure you odin a rom that included the radio and kernel. Preferably a return to stock type thing. If that didn't work did you back up your efs partition?
Also what did you flash exactly?
OP please read the Forum Rules on posting in the correct Section, Moved & Thank You
I had same situation as you few days ago, I messed up my Rogers note ii with flashed 7100 rom to my i317m. I lost baseband, network imei. Luckily, after I flashed root injected FACTORY Stock rom to my rogers phone, the problem had been fixed, here is the link where you can download the root injected FACTORY Stock rom for you phone. Hopefully, you will get your phone fixed

i flashed a rogers rooted stock version rom on my phone, so now after i did recovery it just keep on shows is a RWC in the recovery mode doesn't matter which stock rom i flash, and its saying a BMC in the download more product name. so its really messed up. because i unlocked the phone from bell, so the guy at bell told me i void the warranty on it. now i don't know what i can do to fix my phone.
Pit CSC file
any idea where i can find a pit file for my bell note 2 so i can repartion it, or that's something only samsung has it
This was a big issue with the gs3 and they've come up with a solution in that thread so given the similarities I would think that would work with some tweaking for the different partitions on the note 2. Check out the gs3 forum & maybe get in touch.. they might be able to help.

I broke it.. repair? reflash? where can I get this done?

the short versioni rooted and tried some new firmware is my phone is FUBAR
it still works with wrong firmware and odin works on and off but I cant get anything to work 100%
mainly i just need the SIM card issue resolved
its a us at and t sgh i317
where/how can i get this thing re flashed or fixed?
do i just send it in to at & t ?
I know I will have to pay for the work but im stuck.
I have spent a week already trying to fix this with no success
What exactly did you do?
Which firmware did you flash?
need more details...
If you flashed a N7100 or N7105 rom...then you will need to flash a i317 rom using odin. If you did do this (flashing a N7100 or N7105 rom on your i317) next time slow down and read all the information before you flash an incompatible rom on your phone.

well which version of the firmware you flashed and check if you have the imei intact maybe if you provide proper details users here can help you as which custom u tried and then to which stock these are required . as u must have downgraded from latest base so we need details of what u did orelse flash the latest modem it should get fixed depending on the firmware u flashed the other option is to restore efs if u have it.
if not then only service center can help you even a backup of ur old rom can help so be specific

[Q] Not registering on Network / Wrong IMEI after flashing stock 4.3

Hi, I have just flashed Rooted Note 2 on 4.3 to the latest stock ROM which I downloaded from the SamMobile and now it will not register on the network.
The new version I flashed was the same as the old as i found it with the CSC N7100BTUEMK2 on sam mobile.
I checked the IMEI and it says 00499010640000 in status menu which is different from the one under the battery.
I did not perform a backup of anything as I was not worried about losing any data.
Any ideas what has happened to it and how to get the IMEI correct again?
I understand this is something to do with an efs file but in what way it has become faulty from flashing the same rom I cannot decipher
Any help much appreciated! :good:

From my experience:
1) Reflash the ROM.
2) Flash a custom ROM.
Both worked for me.
N7105 rocking AOSB with AGNi kernel,
Click "Thanks" if I was of any help!
Thanks, I have reflashed the current 4.3 rom UEMK9 and a slightly older UEMK4 with a DEMJ9 radio.
I have tried lots of radios - DM3, XXDME4, XXMI6, XXMJ5, XXMJ2, and some other modem.bin
From what I understand its when you go from newer to older roms that you get IMEI problems, so its prob useless to try pre 4.3
Its all a bit confusing to me and which rom has which radio seems like an arcane mystery.
It is quite possible that I flashed a same version 4.3 rom but my old radio was different and not knowing it was such a minefield on Galaxy phones I never checked that or bothered with a back up.
I may have to resort to paying the people at unlocksamsung online £26 to reset my IMEI
Can anyone tell me, is it just the radio that causes the IMEI problem and should I just trawl through flashing radio zips until my IMEI comes back so I can save the efs file?
BTY everything else seems ok SN is correct and wifi works fine, I just can't get on a network without my correct IMEI
Thx
i also have the same issue on my note 2 gt-n7100 and now phone does no respond to the touch post rooting and all..i am tired of rooting and unrooting the phone like 100 times allready and now my phone is stuck in loop
