Hi all,
I have an I927 with a standard IMEI (0049...) after unlocking it with Z3X box.
The phone is an AT&T I927 and before unlocking I flashed the rogers kernel and then rooted it (as per http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1378082) all this worked fine.
I have a back-up of nv_data.bin before unlocking and I have tried placing it back but this phone has some sort of weird extra checks which doesn't seem to exists in other android phones such as I9100 and the IMEI stays broken.
Anybody out there with the same problem and some ideas on about how to repair it?
I'm currently living in Peru and I was using the phone with Claro and it worked for like 2 months but since a few days it seems they blocked the IMEI (can't logon onto the network anymore, and sim works fine in other phone).
Also I've been searching for original AT&T kernel to put that back and then try to put nv_data.bin back to see if that makes any difference (shouldn't but I'm kinda desperate here)
thanks
Did u fix the problem or still have generic IMEI

HI Team,
Recently I have rooted my Note 2, It was good . But after that I installed SLIM ROM 4.2.2 version on my phone where i started facing problems...
first of all, I didnt recieved any incoming calls...
later after i unrooted the phone.
Went to service center installed latest version of 4.12 official. But no use . I am unable to get signal on phone...
The thing is can search networks but unable to register on the network. Can you guys help me with this regard...???
Has your IMEI been lost?
What does *#06# show you, does it match the IMEI on the back of the phone (please, don't post your IMEI here)

They all seem to have problem with the uart connection with the phone but with usb debug it works .
Pls help me ..
I think i need to change the emmc but cant get one here in ghana .
I have had the note 2 for about 2 to 3 years and its been working fine I have a S4 too,I swap between phones so sometimes I use the S4 and sometime the Note 2,I was using my S4 for about 6 months and decided to use my Note 2 for a change and put my sim in and turned it on and it would say there is no sim in the phone ,looking at the settings it had no Baseband and no IMEI ,showing as Unknown ,it was on CFW DN4 and was working fine 6 months ago.so I downloaded a ROM from the SamMoblie website for O2UK cos I am with Sky Mobile and they use there network and didn't see why it wouldn't work.
Anyway.
I flashed the ROM with Odin 3.07 and now it recognize the sim but thinks it on O2UK ,it has a baseband now but the IMEI is the wrong number,and it will not registered on the Sky Network,if you go to More Networks in Settings you can see Sky in the list but will not register on there network.(Can't connect to network,try later)
Any ideas why the IMEI has changed,it not the same as the sticker under the battery..?

Hi,
It looks like your EFS partition either got corrupted, formatted, or simply did not mount. The reason you cannot connect to the network is because you're not allowed to. You NEED IMEI because it is used to identify your device. Flashing stock rom wont help you. If you have a backup, go ahead and flash it via recovery. If not, try this link: http://www.androwide.com/2015/07/recover-lost-imei-number-of-android.html
(Insert the exact IMEI that you have on the box/under the battery. It is illegal to fake your IMEI in a majority of countries.)
Regards
Can't do any of what it says on the page cos its for a MTK chip,MediaTek,Galaxy Note 2 N7100 don't have that chip.
Have you tried flashing other stock ROMs? Does the imei start with 0049...?

Yes it dose 0049... going to try and fix it with BST dongle,I have flashed original firmware on it now,its 4.4.2,It did have RESURRECTION REMIX on it but can't remember the version maybe the one with Android 5.1.1,then when I put my sim in it to use it after 6 months It would't read the sim,like it was not there and had Baseband Unknown on it..very weird,flashed original firmware on it then it was able to read my sim but then had the 0049... IMEI...??
Hopefully I can fix it with BST dongle,just waiting for the updated version of the BST PCB Adapter V1.1 to be delivered,coming from China.
Looks like the folder containing the IMEI has been corrupted.
Good luck with the cable.
It worked,BST fixed it by puting the IMEI back on the phone,I had to type it in,now it connecting to the network,wow,the best thing I have brought in a long time.. so all fixed.
oh and BST works fine on Windows 10 too.
So Now I have backed up its EFS file and can put custom roms on it without worrying about losing my network,at the moment it has original firmware on it 4.4.2.No plan of puting a Custom ROM on it at the moment,just glad I can use the phone again.

I got it from eBay and had to buy a new BST PCB Adapter so it was compatible with 4.4.2 cos the UART cable didn't work ,now it does with v1.2 of the PCB Adapter,I got thats from AliExpress.

sorry repeated post.
Hello dear XDA users!
First of all I would like to give offer to one that will solve my problem, I will send him 30 EUR directly to his PayPal account.
I am Note 7 Lover as I am collector of these phones.
I have many succesful Note 7 phones recovered from death updates which were fully discharged.
But I did great mistake which I can´t live with.
I had one Note 7 , fully functioning with all connectivities. I managed to install HydraRom and Hydrakernel there on my own as I did it many times before. I am an idiot I didn´t make backup of the system and mainy EFS in working state.
I broke display a little on my primary Note 7 so I needed to recover my TWRP backup on another phone but I accidentally checked restore also EFS partion from my previous phone.
So the phone just turned on and No service, Baseband unknown. My great mistake.
Tried lots of original ROM restore, reflashing HydraRom or radios/kernels, nothing works.
I read a lot about what i did, I have no backup of EFS partion from the one that has problem. I have only Samsung Box with only IMEI written on it, back cover is changed so there is no IMEI or S/N.
I googled a lot, tried all the programs (Z3x, Chimera, Octopus) but none of them has capability to write IMEI directly to the this N930F phone.
I finally found a software called SAMFIX V1.3 and after clicking Baseband in the HydraRom phone menu is visible
The phone is able to look for carriers (but only one) but had NULL IMEI.
Wifi and Bluetooth works well, but there is no IMEI when i dial *#06# and imei is 0000000000. And Bonus is that the phone acts as Dual SIM, through it is only N930F single SIM. So the phone menu in HydraRom after dialing says 0000 for both IMEIs.
I tried to write IMEI with software IMEI changer via xposed, but it "writes" it only for the system instance.
Phone is still unable to find my carrier of connect to one.
When i tried to see device info with all softwares it says:
PDA Version: N930FXXU2BPJ8
Baseband Version: N930FXXU2BPI5
CSC Version: N930FOXM2BPI5
Please help me to restore EFS somehow, or at least to succesfully write IMEI and S/N (which i don´t really have) to phone and can connect to my network as before my idiosm I did with restoring ROM from "same" but different device.
Who will help me will get 30EUR from me (student) on his PayPal.
Did you tried stock firmware? If not flash N930FXXU3BPL2, and do wipe. https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-7/help/n930fxxu3bpl2-t3520988/page2
Hello!
I tried flashing oficial firmware, didn´t solve my problem, or something called COMBINATION Factory binary but this failed.
Radio and baseband is all OK, I have two other phones exactly with this firmwares and versions and they work all OK.
Problem is with EFS and CERT, before wrongly restoring this partion with TWRP backup from another NOTE 7 SM-N930F the phone worked all OK.
I managed to do with many softwares to write IMEI and S/N and it succeeded!
It is written in CERT file and not only with some IMEI changer for system run instance. It is readable via ADB.
Phone can unlock the SIM card but is unable to load carriers.
I read a lot of this problem and I compared CERT file of a backuped one and CERT on the restored one after my IMEI repair.
The CERT on the recovered one has it´s own IMEI now but has same ImeiSign,PubKey,PubKeySign as the backuped one from what I made restoration with TWRP.
So these codes are OK for the IMEI and S/N on the working one but they are inconert for the not working one because of encrypting.
I tried to flash CERT from the working one to bricked one but this does not work because of some CPID encrypting or so.
Have you please any solution to
1. Fully restore working EFS on the phone to work as before?
2. Try to make calculation for the right ImeiSign,PubKey,PubKeySign for that IMEI?
