Hello,
I hope someone has some idea as to what I can do to fix my T889 Note 2 as right now it has no signal, does not register on the TMobile network and even worse, after playing with it some more it seems I have erased the IMEI in the EFS folder... Here is what I did:
I was initially using the Jedi X 7.2 ROM with Perseus Kernel, and everything was just fine. But I guess I was itching for something else :laugh: ... Reading thru the threads here I saw that some of us had flashed AT&T roms like Cleanrom without any problems. They said Cleanrom did not include an AT&T radio so it would work just fine for the T889. But just to be sure, after full wipe and flashing Cleanrom, I have also flashed a Tmobile Modem and Perseus Pernel for T889. That's when the problems started....
After flashing Cleanrom I had NO signal and the network unknown message... At that point the phone still showed the IMEI number... I have tried going back to Jedi X and Odin back to stock, nothing helped.... It still showed Unknown Network, and Not registered on network, impossible to make calls....
Reading some more thru other XDA threads I saw that someone had posted a solution that had worked for him by going into the Service menu (by pressing *#197328640#) and then going to UMTS, then COMMON then NV REBUILD and then ERASES ALL EFS1/2/3....
At that time I was pretty desperate and seeing that it had worked for someone else with a similar problem I tried it immediately... Now that I really give it some thought, I can't believe I pressed Erase all EFS !! :laugh:
That's when I also got the phone showing me IMEI 0.... I guess now I have lost my IMEI as well? I have not made any backups, so restoring is not an option for me at this point !!
Would anyone have any ideas to help me revive this phone? thanks a lot :victory:
P.S. I should add that I still do have the IMEI number of course, it's written on the back of the phone and the original box as well...

Sorry you had to go through this man.. i was going through the same thing when i first got my phone. Xda didn't have a forum for the T-Mobile Note II so i decided to root and flash one of the international version Roms without even making a backup first (dumb of me) then i went ahead and flashed "Android Revolution HD" Rom and lost signal and IMEI showed Unknown.. so i asked for help but no answers.. and then "cmenard" dropped a stock Rom which i'm going to link you to.. i flashed that and flashed the modem on top and that solved the problem for me. So i will go ahead and give you the link to the Stock Rom and the modem i flashed to get my phone to work. Please follow the instrucations. Hope this helps!

Dude i lost my imei when i had my gs3 back in july.. I had no one to help me... thanks for hooking the dude up i can only wish someone like you helped me back then... you da man!!!!:good:
appreciate your kind words bro! I hope this helps him get his phone to work again. :fingers-crossed:
I would love to know if this worked for the people that posted no IMEI... If you could post if this worked... It would let me know to keep these two files in a special recovery folder. Thanks
Thanks very much Addis !!! I truly hope this works, will try as soon as I get home from work, in about an hour or so... After trying so many things I have doubts about everything now, but I am keeping my fingers crossed
(UPDATE) : Have managed to download the rom, I am not sure if the file is corrupted or anything, but I keep getting an error message: E:Can't open / external_sd/deodexed_UVALJ1.zip (bad)
Weird, since other roms have flashed just fine....
guys, one thing you MUST DO with gsm devices... back up your IMEI... this is actually stored in a partition on your device, and as of recent there is a handy little app in the themes and apps section to back it up. it is a free app found on the market and offered here on xda. before this there was a tool somebody created to back up and restore this partition
here is the app... download this, back up your IMEI (your efs partition). https://play.google.com/store/apps/...omizer&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDNd

Thank you Addis, no need for you to upload, it seems I finally got a proper download... Flashed it with TeamWin Touch Recovery and no changes, I will try to flash it with CWM also, but that has given me problems with this file.... let's see... Thanks for your help, I will hit your thanks button as soon as I finish writing this...
If all else fails, I will just go ahead and return everything to factory settings and send it in for repair....
P.S. I should mention that I have used a tool found on the GS3 AT&T threads which has worked for my T889 to re-inject my IMEI number back... So now my IMEI number shows up again... But that's about it... Network is still listed as UNKNOWN and Status is listed as Disconnected...
Bestplayer55 I will send you a link to the thread where I have found the program used to reprogram your IMEI, in the evening when I get home.... While it has helped me get my IMEI back, I am still stuck without network or signal, but it may help you more

Have you gone into the settings menu, more settings, mobile network and tried connecting to T Mobile that way? If that doesn't work then try to reflash stock T Mobile ROM with Odin and it should reset your network.

Hello again,
Bestplayer55 and anyone else who might need this, this is the tool I have used:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1801997
It's written for the Galaxy S3 for AT&T and other carriers, but it worked for me on the T889 Note 2. Try to read all the instructions carefully .
One of the things you have to do is change a setting in the hidden menu which you access by dialing *#7284# using the stock dialer. In the hidden menu or PhoneUtil menu select USBSettingsMenu choose the correct mode and click ok. The correct mode for the Galaxy S3 is called RMNET + DM + MODEM mode, there was NO SUCH setting for my NOTE 2, but there is one that's very similar, so I chose that....
Then you jump to the section called IMEI Injection ... Pay attention to the way the IMEI is entered, it's a specific sequence, almost backwards....
You have the Instructions in the original thread there, or here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2077805
In the end thanks to Peoplearmy for developing this tool.
P.S. I just got home from work, so I will keep trying to flash different roms, now that I got my IMEI number back... Hopefully I can restore service as well...

Thanks a lot for the suggestions, I believe I have tried them before I lost my IMEI number, but I will try them again, it won't hurt !!
Phone is going back to Samsung for repair.... Nothing I have tried has worked ... Let's see what they can do
Hey I was messing with this on my T-Mobile Note II and I changed my RAT mode to WCDMA and now I'm unable to get LTE.
I've done EVERYTHING. I've even ODIN restored it. It WILL NOT connect to LTE anymore. Nothing I do to it makes it want to connect to LTE.
What do I do? Why won't it connect to LTE anymore even after flashing the factory image?
Will erasing EFS1/2/3 do anything to help or is that a really bad idea?
I have no clue what else there is to do. I've tried loading NV defaults but it gives an error for whatever reason.
I have a Galaxy Note 2 on the sprint network. Yesterday someone sent me a text and i tried to sent them a text back but my phone didn't have a signal. It reset itself a bunch of times. It stopped resetting and now there is no signal to the tower. I looked on my phone and Baseband version, network, mobile network type say unknown. service state is out of service, username is unavailable. mobile network state is disconnected, my phone number is unknown, min unknown, prl version unknown, meid unknown, imei unknown, iccid unknown. device status modified.
I rooted my phone when i first got it with the method that doesn't make your flash counter go up. I had super user installed and had the OTA survival mode checked and did the OTA update for multiwindow and then lost root. This wasn't a big deal to me so I just left it alone, everything worked. Its been a couple of months and then this happened. I reflashed a stock rom on the phone and that didn't fix anything. I rooted it with the Samsung Note 2 toolkit and that went well. But it somehow got stuck on the boot screen again after a while so i just reflashed to stock.
I downloaded QPST and entered my IMEI into the nv line 550 and clicked the write NV block and returned an error. Im stuck. I have insurance and I've only had the phone a couple of months. What the heck happened? Was it somekind of wipe? I have been working on this all day and I'm going to bed now, but can someone help me out?
I would not have been so quick to start messing with qpst.In most cases where ive seen this the imei and related numbers were fine and it was a system screw up. That said,This happened to me recently and even odin wouldnt fix it. I ran THIS and it brought me back so I would try that first.

thanks. I am downloading that now and will try it and let you know. I didn't want to start messing with qpst but i saw a tutorial that you can enter your imei back into your phone with it. i got my numbers off the box and went to work. but qpst would not write the values into my phone.
when i plug the usb into the phone a flag pops up in windows and says hardware id is missing as well.

i went to the link. i downloaded the file. it was a zip file so i put it on an sdcard and slapped it in my phone. i used the vol up, home key, and pwr key and then i used the update from zip file on external storage. it did some stuff and rebooted. i checked my flash counter and it went up and said i was running custom, custom.
i didn't see any instructions with your post that you linked and I probably didn't use that file the way it was supposed to be used. how exactly do you use it? and when i turned my phone on it still said baseband unknown.
thanks again for helping me with this.

Do you have Root Explorer? If baseband is showing unknown makes me wonder if build.prop is there and complete...?
It needed flashed in a custom recovery. Did u use twrp or cwm to flash it? If so, you did it right. Is it only the baseband thats unknown or everything still? Did you try a ##72786# dialer code reset?

I don't have root explorer on here right now because I was trying to return the phone back to stock for a return to the sprint store.
I used the stock rom that you download from the samsung note 2 tool kit. how do i check what your talking about?

everything is still unknown.
when i dial ##72786# it goes to a meny labeled SCRTN but is blank with no options.
at this point I used triangle away and flashed the stock rom on my phone, it keeps randomly resetting. in the setttings it still has baseband unknown. i did the ota update and the build number is JROO3C.L900VPALJC
under status, everything is unknown and at the botton it says device modified.
when i put it into download mode right now it says custum binary: no ; current binary: samsung official; system status: custom
this started when the phone just started resetting a bunch after my buddy texted me and then it didn't have service and all the values were wiped, i just want to take it back to sprint because ive only had it for a couple of months. will the above values be ok for a trip to the sprint store?

i think i have a corrupted EFS. can anyone help?
I had this happen to me when I first got the phone and rooted. Scariest first day of ownership thought I was going to have to go in to sprint. Thankfully I flashed the full stock tar and my phone came back to life. Maybe you should try flashing it and see how it turns out for you.

i also went baclk to full stock using the samsung note 2 toolkit and triangle away.
both methods left me with custom binary as no and current binary as samsung offical, but system status says custom.
both ways.
and the screenshots that i posted earlier are the same.
i found this thread:

and i think i have a corrupt EFS.
as it is, does the spring store take your phone back if system status is custom and device says modified?
b.) if i can fix it, it would be better than taking it back. everything on the phone still works, but it obviously cant see a cell phone tower or make calls. data on wifi only type deal.
thanks for any help...

I'm not familiar with that EFS issue since I've never read about it. However I would try that tar I posted as a last resort since the stock zip didn't do anything for you. The issue you're describing is the exact same thing that happened to me and that tar brought me back. And about being custom/modified it all depends on the Sprint Rep you get. Some are cool about it some are not.

Update-
my phone is screwed. i got the MSL and put it in my phone and nothing happens. i have to take it back and get a new one.even though all the hardware works, just cant program the info back in the phone for meid, baseband, username, icc id, etc. etc. so no voice calls.
the bummer is that this all happened randomly. i wasn't messing with my phone at all and it was running great then it reset a bunch of times and then wiped everything. i don't know if it would have helped, but i highly reccomend everyone backing up their EFS. because you never know when this will happen to you.
take care, thanks for the help everyone.
Ok I just got tmobile US galaxy note 2 unlock so I can use it on AT&T. Before I rooted the phone, everything worked. I could make calls text and use google play.
But after rooting and flashing paranoidandriod 3.10, I don't have signal, it wont read sim card and google play won't work as in it goes into "unfortunately google play has stopped" crap. Same thing with Goo manager. I tried the suggestion for those apps and nothing worked. So then, I've been on this board trying to find the right answer. To make things worst, I then flashed MyRom Revolution still no signal or won't read sim card however google play works. Now I'm trying to go back to stock and that seems to be a challenge since twrp won't flash it. I was able to flash it back to stock but still won't read sim card and the imei shows null/null. this is just a bad day. Can anyone help me? What am I doing wrong? This has just been a bad experience.
anyone want to tackle this?
Do you have an efs partition backup?
Your messed your efs partition up, there was a thread on how to fix it, I'm at work and can't search well though so you'll have to find it.

I did that too and my phone won't recognize it. I'm just going to send it back to samsumg
I just sent it back to Samsung. Hopefully I'll get a replacement or they will fix it.
Hi. I am encountering problems after installing this CWM-based Recovery v6.0.4.4
I admit, I am a noob regarding this.
Going back, the phone can access The CWM-based recovery by pressing the power button and volume up, can use menus, advanced menu,
I wiped the partition and cleared cache and dalvik cache but when you restart, screen stops at LG logo and (Secure booting error, Cause: boot certification verify) text is displayed.
I know I was unsure of everything and flashing androids are new to me especially on my device.
can I unlock the bootloader even with the CWM-based recovery alone?
Model name: F240S
android version. 4.4.2
I'm having a similar problem. I have CWM from Freegee on my phone.
Last night, when I was unable to flash either or two different roms, I decided to check for an OTA update. The phone downloaded it, and when it was finished, it went into looping into recovery. I then decided to factory reset, wipe data.. still phone goes back to recovery. Then I decided to just use the backup I had made earlier in CWM. Still stuck in recovery loop.
Anyone? Anyone?

You can't install an OTA update with a custom recovery. It needs the stock recovery. Time to familiarize yourself with the TOT method of flashing back to stock

I just did some more searching. I'm coming up with stuff like "install the lg flash tool" , "and if that doesn't work, install (If you cannot run LGFlashTool2014.exe, please install Visual C++ Runtime Library) - VC_RedistInstaller.exe - 47.7 Mb"
HOLY PHUCKING HELL! WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO? Go get a phucking degree from MIT to just to use my phucking fone???
Seriously. Someone on this site needs to learn how to teach. I know that there are men here with IQs in the upper range of 140 plus.. but they can't teach. sad sad sad.
I've been going at this for so long now. My computer is littered with downloaded files. And then the phone I had before this it was like, hmmm, I'll flash a cyanogenmod rom because they under stand the common man. WRONG. Their mods suck battery life more than stock roms. Okay, I'll flash Carbon rom... not any better, devs have purposely darkened the screen to make it look like battery life is better.. I tried rom after rom after rom. They all have problems. NOt just minor problems either.
Android is the punk in prison that gets passed about by the violent inmates. First Samsung has his way with Android, then Google gets in on the gangbang and then Verizon or AT&T gets sloppy thirds..
I have an e980 and this method had been flawless multiple times. As far as battery life, that all depends on 100 different things, but I always flash madmack's modem, then wipe cache and dalvik. Deep sleep is pretty much guaranteed after that.

I searched for a day or two from the forums and they said that there are no unlocked bootloader for 4.4.2 OTA yet.
so sad.
What i did was I used the LG mobile support tool and my phone went back to stock.
my device is also unsupported on Freegee and on CWM, my device isn't available.

Your dramatized posts between threads show you are having a hard time. A person does not need a degree to flash, just the patience to read a lot on a forum like xda regarding their phone and android in general.
People only notice something like battery life on a given rom due to the presence of other options they can compare it to. Apple, for example, is just one thing. One ios iteration having a better something over the other is irrelevant as there is nothing to apply degrees of comparison to. Then, hardware variety, etc.
Some of the points you are upset about in the process of flashing could be resolved by a google search or xda forum search.

Well I finally got it working.
What one has to do to get roms flashed is to use madmacks's term. And when you're on recovery mode, you must toggle Loki support to disabled or the install of the new Rom will abort.
Unfortunately, Camera has stopped.

For the record, I did search. And search. And search.
The problem here at xda is that many of the developers are so smart that they are unable to articulate down to us regular people.

Should I move this question to another post?
I have another problem. my phone just got no signal and says "Service disabled". on the notification bar it just loads and says "Searching for networks". it never found any networks. I switched the same SIM to another phone and it has a signal. the problem happened after I edited the build.prop and changed the ro.build.local from "KR" to "US" just to remove the dual clock from the lockscreen (because F240 has a dual clock which is non-removable except if you use the sqlite editor but that method did not work for me. the editor closes and says "*programname* has closed unexpectedly").
I made a factory reset and still there is no signal. I'm using stock kitkat firmware from LG and not rooted. can you help me with this one?
Thanks
Have you checked your apn settings?
Unfortunately, Camera has stopped.
No, I don't have APNs listed.
but, I was able to install sphinx rom and now the phone always says "unfortunately, com.android.keyguard has stopped" and the phone app was gone, APN settings also gone, call logs gone,
For a short while, I didn't think I had apn's listed but I was not looking in the right place.

Probably no baseband or null baseband, my suggestion, flash stock through flashtool, if you have free gees made an efs folder you can always restore that too, but i think flashing stock would solve the baseband problem, if that doesnt, there is an online flashing method, that can help

I don't know about the flash stock through flashtool. I use mobile support tool which I did last night and it was a success. "com.android.phone has closed unexpectedly" or something like that does not appear now on SETTINGS>Tethering & Networks>Mobile Networks OR T Roaming>Select roaming network. because before I'm encountering if I go there.
one last thing is that everything is now stock but still I don't get the signal. unlike before. the signal goes back automatically.
about basebands, I do have a baseband. same as before and I still have my IMEI intact.
That is strange, there is a thread of hyelton, in general section, get the lg flash tool from there, and try to flash the appropriate tot file, if you flash the tot or kdz file for other model, this might result in loss of network
I was messing around on my ATT I747 phone switching users, when I finally got the new account on the phone, the IMEI is missing. The IMEI and Bluetooth are blank/unknown. I've tried using NV tools, but the *#7284# phoneutil isn't working. I've reinstalled the NJ1 modem, nothing works.
I'm on the 9/4 Nightly.
Does anyone have a suggestion?
Thanks!

And the ESF/Factory folder doesn't have the NV_Data files I'm reading that for some people returning to stock it worked, but I'm not sure how to do with that 12.1?

Thanks for the reply, for some reason though in CM 12.1, the phoneutil stuff with *#22745927 and *#7284# things aren't working.

When you went into About phone -> Status did you touch the IMEI information row. It actually opens a submenu where your IMEI is displayed. I've had a few moments of panic before I realized that early on with CM 12.1 ROMs. It looks a little odd since some of the other rows like IP address and wifi MAC display their values in little gray text right beneath them.
Also, your EFS folder will always appear blank if the file manager you viewed it with didn't have root access before you browsed into the folder.
Sorry if this is obvious. Just thought I'd point this out because I think the IMEI submenu was new with lollipop. I don't recall it on kitkat, but I could be wrong. Hope you get it worked out.

My IMEI says "Unknown". I viewed the directory with "Root Explorer" and did a full search. At this point, I'd even settle for a service that completely redoes the phone if someone knows of one

You can execute the needed commands from the command line, see here rootzwiki.com/topic/32397-tutorial-imei-backup-nv-with-qpst-us-variants/
Or if necessary suck it up and flash stock.

I suggest confirming that you have both the nj1 bootloader and modem. Perhaps one or the other did not flash properly.
If the bootloader and modem are correct, I would try a different custom ROM or flash the stock Samsung ROM as suggested.
I tried reflashing the modem/bootloader, still no dice. So, I think I'll just go back to NJ1 stock to get it working again, and then go from there. I'll flash the NJ1 bootloader/modem first (again), then the system/boot. I'll let you all know how it goes.
Thanks for the help!
I'm still not having any luck. I did a factory wipe, then flashed the NJ1 bootloader/modem/system image via TWRP from this post on XDA:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...tt/general/ucufne4-to-ucufnj1-update-t2941792
After flashing the system image, TWRP tells me there is no OS when I go to reboot, and It just hangs on the AT&T logo. I'm really not sure what to do from here. I'm reading that if I try to downgrade to NE4 where there are more files in existance that it will brick. I would load the bootloader/modem via Odin instead of TWRP, but I can't find a NJ1 tar file.
I'm very sorry to keep asking for help, but I do appreciate it, and do plan on buying you both coffee if you let me.

The one from Enewman17? That's the one I flashed from the last link I posted. Gets stuck in the AT&T screen, if I flash CM 12.1 the OS works but no IMEI. If I upgraded to NJ2 would that maybe force a redo of all the partitions? Or would that make it worse?
If it gets stuck at the logo, boot into stock recovery and do a full factory reset/wipe.

OK, loaded stock recovery via odin, finally booted into stock 4.4.2 OS. IMEI and bluetooth are still missing. Looked in all EFS folders via Root Explorer, and there are no NV_data files. Baseband and build are both NJ1.

I tried that, but I couldn't get the tool to connect. I'm reading that a Z3X tool can sometimes fix it? I think connexion2005 has one, so I'm asking them. Spending 16 hours on a $100 phone, lol. I'm ready to do something else If you know of someone else that can fix, I'd greatly appreciate it.
Before flashing any s3, I always made a backup of the nv folder.
Fortunately, I have never had to make use of these backups.
I know of no other way to fix the issue.
Are you using a win8 machine? Maybe win7 would work.
I also have lost imei on Samsung s4 m191. I can't seem to find a fix, Is there one?
