Plz tell me what is the proper way to backup & restore imei properly. how to prevent imei............ now i am scaring to flash my phone to custom rom...............i need help..............
Greetings Folks,
Yesterday, I was trying to install the Resurrection Remix Kitkat ROM on my GT-i9082, and it got installed fine, but I wasn't getting any network, no network bars. So I tried that SIM in another phone, and it works fine. That thread said that this might happen, and I may need to flash another modem, which I did, but still nogo. Here is the loist of 3 different modems which I tried:-
I9082XXUBML1 (INU)
I9082XXUBMK3 (INU)
I9082XXUBMJ3 (INU)
I had taken a ROM backup through ROM Manager before flashing the new ROM, so I tried to restore that backup. Restore completed, and I could now see some network bars, but I still couldn't make calls/sms. I noticed that my IMEI number was coming up all garbled, which is probably why I can see signal bars, but can't make any calls/sms. I tried a different SIM in this phone too, and same issue. I have 2 old ROM backups taken from ROM Manager when the phone was working fine, but no separate EFS backups taken, as I wasn't even aware what EFS was until now. I know what the IMEI number is for both the SIM slots. Is there any way I can fix this?
EDIT:- The funny part is, in the status bar, I can see an "Insert SIM" icon, as well as full Network bars, even though there is no SIM inserted in either slots. Sounds fishy?

Heya,
So this week I had some issues with my efs partition (phone got boot stuck). Took me a while but managed to solve it by creating a new partition with some commands I found in a guide.
After that I installed a custom rom (DN3) and phone turned on (!!! big success so far).
What I noticed is that my phone allows me to call only emergency numbers. Wifi works fine.
An exact description of what happens:
* When I set to automatic network search - it shows the network bars but without the H sign with arrows indicating it sends/receives data
* When I go to manual and click on my mobile carrier (Pelephone) it immediately says "Registered on network" - and after that still no H with arrows, and I get a network message saying "No Service. Selected network (Pelephone) not available"
* Internet or sms/phone calls not working in any of the choices.
Here is what I have tried so far:
1) Switching properties in mobile network to 2g/3g and automatic network search / manual network search
2) I tried adding APN
3) Installed different rom (Omega V29)
4) Installed 4.3 rom (DN3 version 3.2) - still didn't work. then installed modem (MJ9) and dMK4kernel as described in this guide
5) I tried installed the stock firmware (downloaded from Sammobile)
6) Tried installing XXDME4 Modem
7) I tried of course inserting current sim to different phone and other working sim to this phone - so the problem is not with the sim.
8) Made EFS backup and restored it - not sure why this should work as it seems my EFS is corrupted somehow, but tried it anyway
I am currently using DN3 v5.2 rom
I have CWM recovery
I made EFS backup (though after problem started - as my phone had more serious problems before)
I am rooted
My imei is reading 0049 - i saw in some posts that it means something is corrupted...
I tried searching for threads in here and on other sites, only thing I haven't tried yet is changing imei and I understand thats illegal in some countries + in XDA-Developers, plus it can be very risky - so please any help besides that would be appreciated.
Please help... No idea what to do now. If you want me to download something please provide the link
Thanks!
Have you taken efs backup before installing the rom? If yes then restore it. Google for how to restore efs backup.

No, don't have efs backup from before as didn't have any means of making it
Anyone?
Hi
I am creating this post after searching for many hours and trying multiple things mentioned on xda and other sites. but nothing worked for me
I have T889V ( Note 2 from WindMobile) and by mistake I flashed At&T stock rom which resulted in loss of baseband and IMEI
Right now phone is working with only Wifi ( NO 3G and calls)
I have backup of this phone when I bought it. I have following backups
1. TWRP EFS backup
2. NVRAM Backup
3. QPST Backup.
4. Backup of m9kefs1, m9kefs2 and m9k2efs3
Tried following things
1. I have tried to ODIN stock Wind firmware but it did not bring back baseband
2. . Tried to flash modem from Tmobile 889 , but baseband still remains unknown.
3. Tried to odin Tmobile firmware but it always fails at radio/modem step.
4. Tried multiple pit files but all gets stuck at " Mapping pit file"
5. Tried to odin stock 4.12 firmware from Wind and manually copied m9kefs1, m9kefs2 and m9k2efs3 using dd , baseband still remains unknown.
6. Tried to restore my backup with QPST but it says says no phone connected , even though when I add port it sees COM3-USB/QC Diagnostic. Yes I changed mode to "RM*** + DM + MODEM".
Can someone please help me in getting this phone working again.
