Hello technical people,
This is my first post, but I am a regular user of your forums, always find wisdom here.
I have encountered a problem while rooting and installing custom rom on my N7100.
I installed DN4 v2 ROM, everything seems to be perfect apart from the network.
On the notification bar, the network name shows when I scroll it down, this happens for any sim card I insert, but there is no signal.
I created a backup of the stock rom, but even that has the same problem when I try to restore it to original.
I believe you guys will be able to help me on this issue. I must add that I did not do an EFS backup, noob!!! Please let me know what other info you need.
Please help.
Thanks
FIXED
GUYS. After searching around the net i managed to fix it. I will leave this post up for other fellas who have this problem. Unless there is already a solution in the forums then admin plz remove the post. Otherwise the solution was this:
I searched google for n7100 network repair. Found a patch from another forum (which i will not share here as i might be in trouble?) And then downloded the file. Ran recovery. Installed from zip and bingo !

Hey guys!
The idea is that ,by mistake i flashed a s4 modem on my note2 (my wifi was not working and i thought the problem is the modem and i found another modem but i didn't pay attention to the title).
Now my note 2 says that it isn't registered in network
I tried flashing a modem but no succes. Wifi is now working( i installed another rom -allianceRom) and i tried to go to settings-mobile data-network operator(last option .don't know how to translate) and register manually in a network but that was unsuccesful again...
I mention that my phone is from Romania and the network was COSMOTE
I don't have any efs backup as well..don't know where are them. I remember i saw 3 of them in a folder when surfing trough storage but i can't find them now...
What can i do ? I need my phone

Once you've seen them. They must be in your phone. Use a root explorer and find them. Read my thread '(GUIDE) EFS/....'

Inthat case, try the apk named GSII_REPAIR. It's a very small app. But hope it work for. It repairs corrupted efs. Google it.it's free on playstore, though it's for gs2 but for some people it also worked for note2

@Bajanman sorry but that guide is useless for the LTE Note 2 variants. Look for guides from the LTE Note 2 or the North American SGS3 as your main starting points to try and solve this. (My T889V LTE guide has some links to those.)
One method I'd like to hear reports about is the reboot nvrestore one, I've seen it discussed mostly on a Verizon SGS3 thread, but nothing IMHO says it wouldn't be relevant for the HSPA/LTE versions either.
Edit: The EFS and other related partitions are of a significantly different layout between the dual-core SGS3 and the LTE Note 2 or GT-I9305. adb reboot nvrestore doesn't seem to do anything on our devices.
Good luck,
Darkshado
hey i didn't find anything...i've heard that there's some custom roms that contains EFs backup that can solve my problem is this true ? if so can anybody give me a link for one of those roms ? thank you
Try to flash with odin the stock rom that you got your note 2 with. It happened to me once where i flashed something and lost my imei. I didnt backup or anything. After i flashed the stock and unrooted my phone my imei reappeared and my phone worked again. BTW it was a att note 2. I found the rom somewhere at this forum. No rom contain you Efs i think(could be wrong) but each phone has it own imei.

Hey guys I bought my sg3 about 3 months ago from a friend who had cynogen mod on the phone and it worked fine but I had cynogen mod on auto update and now my imei shows as 0 via *#06# and I cant call or text etc. Unfortunately I do not have a backup from when the imei worked because I didnt expect it to do this. So far Ive removed cynogen mod and reset it to stock firmware but im having the same issue any suggestions?

Your baseband is probably corrupted. You may try reflashing a stock modem/baseband via recovery. I had a similar problem once, although I was on stock ROM, and re-flashing the modem zip worked.
I, however, tread very carefully here as I am aware the forum is wary about discussions relating to IMEI.

You can look up peoplearmy's method (google it). You will not find help on how to fix IMEI on XDA. I had my IMEI wiped out a while back after flashing a bad rom. I had to get it put back, and then had to get LTE back.
Good luck.

Can you go to Settings => About Device and see what you have under Baseband version? Whilst you are there, also check what Android version it says and the build number.

Everything looks OK as your baseband version would likely read 'unknown' if it's bad. You may, however, still try re-flashing the modem via the method posted in the attached thread ... Please proceed at your own peril as I offer no guarantee that this will work or will not result in damaged phones,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1831898
Please note you will need custom recovery (e.g. CWM or TWRP). You will find instructions for installing custom recovery at the bottom of the thread. If this doesn't work, then you may try doing a hard wipe from recovery and reinstalling everything including system ROM, modem and kernel.
Hope it works out for you.
Simple fix is to reinject imei which located behind the battery.. But sometimes for some reason if you do this, you'll stuck with edge network, can be fix though but you gotta go back to stock in order to do so

you will have to google peoplearmy imei lte and find the tutorial on how to restore imei and get LTE back.
You will not be able to find the thread on XDA because XDA deleted it sometime ago. I was like you and lost my imei. Once I re-injected it using a tutorial on XDA, I was stuck on edge. Then I finally found peoplearmy's tutorial, downloaded the programs and followed the steps to get LTE back. I got it back and haven't lost it since.

I can't find the link, can you PM me it?
I had that happen to me with a 0 on my phone and was able to get it back I had no backup either what I did is go on the NV Data restore or NV writer thread and downloaded the NV writer and put myself back on stock ...I went thru a few pages in the post and someone had a file where you could put your IMEI into that file maybe it was set up thru notepad but you could fill in the zeros with your IMEI and name it I think a txt.file after then open the NV writer and instead of backing it up cause you can't just restore that file where you fill in you're IMEI and it went right back into my phone. There also a video on that page how to do it. You just need basically that file to put your IMEI back in. I might still have it if not keep going thru the post took find it. There a picture of what it looks like to restore if you list it but every time I tried to open that link to restore it wouldn't let me. Hope it wasn't to confusing but it's basically a white box with a bunch of zeros and replace the zeros with your IMEI and save it as atxt. File I believe and just restore it as shown in the video for backing it up but just restore instead it does work cause I didn't have an IMEI on my phone it just had a zero

I got a message saying failed phone did not answer when writing any ideas
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.

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.
