Hi guys in an effort to unlock my phone I followed some steps which ask me to erase my efs in service mode. What I did not know it that the GSM tool the guy used has to be bought. So can someone help me get me phone working again. Is there a way to restore my efs. I downloaded the stock firmware and flashed with Odin but it did not work. Plz tell me there is a way to fix this. My phone is only 2 days old.

I made an incredibly stupid mistake and didn't notice what the actual model number for my S4 Mini was. I used a guide to root it as if it were a GT-I9195 and now I've completely screwed it up. When it booted I couldn't connect to any type of network and the soft keys didn't work at all. I tried to install what I thought was the original firmware to the phone, but again didn't know I had the wrong model number. How do I restore my phone to its original state? I no longer care if it is rooted or not, I would just like to have a working cell phone again.

Same here
Also needing help with the exact same problem. C'mon, Devs.......Sometimes us simple folk get in past our depth and need a little help.
Hello XDA community. I have never posted because you all do a fantastic job with your forum and I have been able to figure everything out based on the information here. However, this has come to an end...I have been scouring this site since Sunday hoping for a resolution and just cannot get anywhere. So, I am leaning on you guys to see if you can set me straight. I have lost data connection and IMEI was 0.
Firstly, I do not have a copy of my EFS. Idiotic I know.
I flashed Stock ROM and injected IMEI with NV reader writer and IMEI came back.
Reflashed CM 10.2.1
Flashed 1747UCUEMJB Modem
Flashed 1747UCUEMJB Bootloader
Still no data connection...
Tried to reflash to stock to use DIAG mode to allow me to use Peoplearmys FIX on stock rom. I can't downgrade boot loaders, so Stock ROM is out of the question from what I understand.
I have tried several time using terminal emulator and Smanager to run the scripts Peoplearmy has provided to enable DIAG mode in AOSP, but I keep getting error messages "No such file or directory"
Can anybody help or point me in the right direction? I need to figure out how to get my phone into DIAG mode and I think I can proceed, unless anybody has a better suggestion. If you require anymore information about my situation, please let me know.
Thanks in advance for the assistance.

So I followed that to get me back to Stock Rom and it worked perfectly. Then, followed peoplearmys advice to inject IMEI, data fixed.
Now just trying to reroot and having some issues, but my brain is fried. So, it may be another day...

Well then, from what I know I the easiest way is through efs backup. I really hope you have made a full Rom backup if not I remember there was another method but it wasn't going to be easy. Hopefully someone here can guild you in that direction.
no I don't have a backup of the rom. I thought that the engineering mode menu can help. I saw a video tutorial online about it. And if u still have a better option pls guide me through

Hi guys,
My note 2 is in normally condition with stock 4.4.2 rom N7100XXUFND4.
Yesterday I wanna root it, then did with odin 3.09 + CF-Auto-Root-t03g-t03gxx-gtn7100 then + philz cwm6.
And I've lost imei, no efs and it doesnt recognize simcard :angel:
I got a efs.img file backup once, but since when my note2 still at 4.3 (or 4.1.2, cant remember exactly).
So, i've tried all menthols found here, as dr.ketan's aroma efs restore and his multi tools, install EFSFix.zip,... tried via PC and terminal emulator on my note2, but all no result (anyway, thank all devs.)
Im now downloading the stock rom back in order to try to flashing it to my device after unroot (but very slowly coz the international internet cable from Vietnam to outside was corrupted)
Just wanna ask you guys that does this work (flash stock rom can fix all or even when done flash my note2 still lost imei and just can use as a pda, not a pda phone)?
And if you have any flashing ideas, just let me now, I'll try.
Thank you.

@ alittlemad,
First of all let me inform u this is not the section to post . U should try the Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting section.
Now to the problem at hand, if you have CWM, try flashing this Modem_N7100XXUFND3_CWM modem in cwm, I had a similar problem a couple of weeks ago when I downgraded from KK. Hope this works. It worked for me. I dont remember which thread i got it from. It is for 4.3 roms but works with 4.4 as well. All the best
P.S - I am uploading 2 modems. ND3 is for 4.3 but the next one, I think is for 4.4 - not sure. Search for these modems for further details.
Very good DonVito, my phone is back with the first file ND3 :good:.
If you have chance to come here, I will buy you a beer :highfive:.
Thanks a lot.

Glad to help. Good luck and thanks for the offer
Also take back up of your efs with drketans back up utility and save it in our PC or cloud.

try flashing your official firmware through Odin. other users solve their imei problem by doing that. see also if you can access engineering mode with that official firmware.

lets wait for others specially those who are expert in android for some advice. I'm just an ordinary security guard so i can't help you much with your problem. what i have suggested you from my previous post was the last thing I did when my phone finally worked. for 4 days i been searching for solution because i also have an IMEI problem. i flash back to official rom, flash patched modem, flash other roms to no avail until such time when my phone doesn't boot because of broken partition :laugh:. if you still have warranty restore it back. if you're already out of warranty and you have money, you can it send it to service center.
P.S.
you can also try this if you have courage. i was able to make some secret codes work but i have'nt tried if it works with engineering mode by modifying hiddenmenu in /efs/carrier/hiddenmenu. use efs explorer to open hiddenmenu and change it to ON.save it and restart your phone and see if engineering mode work. remember that you have to be in official firmware and also rooted to do this. if its not working then you'll just have to wait for a much better solutions from devs.
Same question
I have the same problem, as owner of the thread. Any help?
