did you use Odin to flash TWRP? I have never had any problems flashing 1st TWRP via Odin.
Make backup of EFS and keep it in safe place, everything else is not so important

Yes I used Odin, maybe with wrong TWRP file? is that possible?
Thanks for your anwser. I did that with a program called Titanium Backup
Do i restore it the same way i did the backup (same app) ?
What if it fails to restore it? Im afraid to try it again, it was a shock, though i bricked it
Some versions of TWRP don't do that. I used 2.8.0.0. But I just got tired of it and just used CWM philz advanced. I only use TWRP when i need to fix permissions.Also you can restore your IMEI by using Kies.

How is that going to help to get an imei number back? Thats a link to a uvalj1 modem.
The man is trying to get his imei number back. And we all just about know from intuition that he doesnt have a backup. Id send him to the galaxy s3 thread by peoplearmy that details method that DOES work on our phone using nv reader to back up or inject an imei number into the system.
I just dont have the link and cant find it
But flashing modems isnt going to do nothin at all.
OP GO TO THE GALAXY S3 FORUMS FOR TMOBILE find and download those tools. Follow the instructions PROVIDED there and try to INJECT an imei into your phone since im pretty certain that you dont have a backup. Stop following links and flashing random files from people that know even less than you about fixing the problem.
Your taking art advice from the blind.

Good day to all!!!
I've gone into bootloop, and having a hard time finding a link to my previous rom which is N7100XXUEMK9-COA(MJ9). So I decided to download at Sammobile a N7100XXUFNG4(FND2) -Philippines coz I'm from Philippines. And I flashed it thru odin. Installed PhilzTouch, rooted and done. After using it for a few days, while reading some threads to other forums. I finally found a link to my previous rom. I've successfuly downloaded it.
I'm just wondering if I can directly flash this N7100XXUEMK9(MJ9) back to my phone which is N7100XXUFNG4(FND2) now using odin again? Can I flash this without losing my IMEI, Modem, Wifi or my EFS being corrupted?
By the way 4.4 is fine. But on my own observation, it drains my battery faster than 4.3. So if there's a chance getting back to 4.3, maybe I'll grab the chance. If it's going to be complicated, maybe I won't do it anymore.
Sorry for a the long story. Hope somebody can help me. Thanks all.
Anyone? Please. Thanks.

I am unsure about this, if you have upgraded bootloader, you are stuck with latest bootloader, however you can downgrade rom, unless I am mistaken.

Thanks. But actually this has been answered to the other thread of Dr.Ketan. Here's his post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=55076259&postcount=571
dr.ketan said:
You can't downgrade with Odin if your existing bootloader is kitkat. Though you can use mobile din to downgrade to 4.3. And regarding IMEI, No one can say whether you will lose it or not because even you doing everything correct there are still minimal chances to lose it (any bad flashing can cause it) but make EFS backup and copy it to multiple places. I stroingly recommend to make backup efs in .img format (search play store for "Dr.Ketan Hindocha" and you will find IMEI Tool N7100/N900 which makes backup on said format)

Well guys I've got a note 2 n7100 and as usually, the first thing I did was flashing a rom to it (dn4 to be specific) everything went fine and so on but the problem now is that I bricked as it seems my efs and I didnt make a backup. Any suggestion about how to fixe it? (I'll rather a solution without uninstalling the ROM but any solution is welcome)
ps: if need more detailed information, feel free to ask

My Samsung note 2 won't move from the boot screen. It does boot into recovery when I press the buttons but it won't mount any files. Sideloading works through ADB but then that's just about it as it gives me errors. Tried to use Odin to unbrick it but it keeps giving me errors. What do I do? How do I unbrick my phone? I have posted a screenshot of the errors I am getting. Can someone please advise on what I should do?

I have almost a same situation here with my brothers phone. I don't know why, but every time he manages to brick it like that. When booting into recovery from rom (power menu), it crashes the phone and it gets in a bootloop trying to get into the recovery.
What I did:
- Reflash recovery through odin (odin succes, phone fail)
- Reflash recovery through odin and erase nand (same...)
The only fix I found was to flash the stock rom and nand erase through odin, then flash the recovery (twrp 2.8.6.0), erase almost everything (sys, data, cache) and flash custom rom.
Looking at your pic, after nand write it fails, it could be that your nand chip is dead, and if it is like that, move to an other phone, it isn't worth to get a new mobo for your phone, those things cost more than 100 euro and a great new phone would get about 250 from you (like that asus zenfone, I think that is the one you should aim for if you want mid class to high class phones)

The firmware you trying to flash xxalj3 (saw at screenshot) is very old 4.1.1 with sds bug also. Probably your phone has newer bootloader and 4 this you can't flash it, download latest firmware from Sammy and try again.

IMEI is the same as the one on the phone. I believe I must have installed the wrong ROM. I installed the N7100XXUFNL1 one which said Pakistan but then now that I checked it again, I found out it was for Nigeria, UAE, etc (which share the same CSC). Now I am downloading the N7100XXUFND4 one. Hope it makes a difference. I did backup my IMEI etc incase there is an issue.

Samsung had made efs partition update when released 4.3 if I remember well. This update was making by the kernel when was flashing the fw was updating the efs too. If you haven't flash original firmware via odin 4.3 or later probably your efs is not updated. Try to flash original fw via odin, I think it will work.

Please let me know what to do, I just want to make the phone the way I got it then root it.
ps: I googled and some say flash the stock room, I'm scared to flash it because I don't know the firmware version of my phone since I can't access the About device of my phone. I'm in the Philippines btw.

Put SuperSU in your SDcard
Just Flash this recovery with Odin
Make Sure "Auto-Reboot is not ticked Because Stock Android Restores Stock Recovery
When You get "RESET" in odin
Remove the battery from the and boot to recovery directly
And then flash SuperSU

You can use Partition Backup app. Nandroid backup will backup most of the main partition, but i prefer third party app which will show some unseen partition.
As for the memory thing, i believe @Yousef Mohamed have better knowledge, he even made a flashable zip for expanding the internal memory size.

Gonna try it out thanks. I'm going to do what I learned from here to my future devices Yeah, I hope Yousef does reply.
EFS is most important "recoverable" partition
Bootloader partitions are the most important because without them you can't even boot the phone ( you can't boot to download mode , recovery mode or even the OS )
So you can't recover it
