I was running the official Samsung ROM with CF auto root. I made an EFS backup (Using EFS backup Pro) soon after completing the root.
A few days later I tried to flash the modem on my phone to enable AWS bands. After the process my phone got stock on the logo screen.
Then I downloaded the stock ROM + modem from samsmobile and restored it using Odin. The phone boots fine but has a null IMEI and baseband version. I tried restoring EFS using EFS backup pro and the dd command but no luck.
Then I tried the DN3 rom. My phone works perfectly. It boots fine, the network works fine, IMEI is correct!
The problem now is that I cannot unlock my phone. I have tried ordering an unlock code from 2 different websites. Both of them gave the same code. When I insert a different SIM and enter the unlock code I get a message "network unlock unsuccessful". The support team for one of the unlock sites told me enter the code from the UTMS debug menu. The problem is that this menu is not accessible in the DN3 rom. The other company (Koodo) refused to unlock unless I was on the offical ROM.
I tried opening nv_data.bin stored in the EFS parition and it is all 1's. Hence, My suspicion is that DN3 reads the EFS data from a different partition than the offical ROM (dev/block/mmcblk0p3 .
You could help me in 2 ways : Show me how to unlock my phone in DN3 rom. Help me get the offical ROM from samsmobile working.
Thanks in advance to anyone who responds.

So this is a koodo phone, correct? And you had previously unlocked via the service menu?
No Its not a Koodo phone, it is a rogers phone. It has never been unlocked before. Koodo can unlock phones locked to other carriers as well. I took it to them because they were offering free unlock service for new customers. The agent at the kiosk could not find the UTMS menu so he said he could not proceed with the unlock.
I have also tried getting the unlock code by paying a website $20. I tried entering the code but the unlock was unsuccessful. Their support team said that they can only support people using stock ROM and refunded my money.
I was running the Taiwan ROM on my phone but went back to the Japan version when the Marshmallow update was released. Now the phone is screwed
It started off with the phone asking for a 'Network subsystem code' so the phone was essentially network locked and could only be accessed if the SIM was removed. I re-flashed the Taiwan ROM thinking it would go back to how it was but it still asked for the unlock code.
Maybe this was where I went wrong, but I bought an unlock code from eBay, entered it but after it rebooted it still asked for the code.
I tried a few TWRP backups but nothing worked and now it doesn't recognise a SIM at all. Nothing.
It's randomly restarting and I've also noticed that the IMEI number isn't showing up in the settings.
I have no idea what to do so if you have any ideas, please let me know...
Possible Fix
Try to flash misc.img. Its supposed to fix simlock for the taiwan version, and its the same image for both. You can find it at the bottom of my conversion guide.
Don't worry, you should flash your phone return to rom stock KDDI 5.0.2
then flash file fix sim pass: 8jtv
by adb change.
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash misc misc.img
fastboot reboot
or unlock sim by xtc2clip
I have got no signal after I change my sim in KDDI 6.0 rom. I am sure that my sim card (UK sim) is not damaged, but my phone is not able to register to the network. I am now thinking of flashing back to JP 5.0.2 again
How about Taiwan?

If you dont need nfc, the taiwan ROM is better in every other way.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/butterfly-3/development/stock-rom-stock-5-0-2-cure-t3356875
or if you NEED to have nfc, you may need to manually scan for network(s) in settings and after that replace the apns-conf.xml file with one from cyanogenmod or any other universal rom, because data only works on its known network (au). You will also need to change from SMS to Messages apk and maybe change the call center number. (stock htc text messaging app)

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?
i have Samsung note 7 n930f
hey how u doing ?
i have Samsung note 7 n930f
and i have on it pie 9 SuperFast9 H5
on it but i have small issue
how to restore my s/n on my samsung sm- n930f
i got the phone with changed s/n
and want restore the original s/n
I need a really big help for this one so please, if you know something let me know.
I have a Nokia 6.1 [2018] TA-1016 with Android 9 Pie January 1 Security Patch.
I bought it by a second hand seller and it (The phone) comes with an IMEI that not belongs to the model, the IMEI that it have right know belongs to a SM-E500H so the problem is that I can't install OTA updates because it have problems with the IMEI, the phone doesn't have the bootloader unlocked and have the stock rom.
The question is if I can change the IMEI without unlock the bootloader (Via adb or something like that) because I don't want this IMEI.
I have the original IMEI because it's on the Sim slot tray.
Aslo I want to know if I can unlock the bootloader and make the phone root, because I know that you can change the IMEI being root but, this is the last thing that I want to do.
