Hi, I have reset the EFS partations of the phone with TWRP to write new IMEI. I had a QCN backup before resetting, but I hadn't taken an EFS backup. Now when I try to restore the IMEI of the phone with QCN, the phone does not switch on and goes to the TWRP screen. I found patched QCN files from some forums. But they only fix IMEI 2. I can write IMEI numbers with IMEI Dual Write. However, the network does not come at that time. Please help me. How do I fix phone original IMEI?

Post #19 said to flash stock rom with other files. Used this:
http:https://hotfile.com/dl/180451349/e1694c1/N7100XXDLJ2_OXA_FACTORY.zip.html//
Tried flashing via Odin 3.09, always stuck at SetupConnection. Flashed all files BTW.
Any suggestions?
For flashing try another Odin Version. I had the same problem with my Galaxy S. I've just chosen a higher version

I googled odin versions i think 3.09 is the latest. also tried 3.07 and 1.85 but all gave the same result.
flashing with the pit file fails (0 success / 1 fail). it also corrupts the phone giving the "firmware update encountered a problem, connect to kies" message.
after restoring im back to Post #1.

If u have nandroid backup, restore that no matter on which rom you are. Just wipe data and cache before restoring. After restoration take efs backup and flash stock rom or different rom.
Nandroid backup is best for restore efs.

I've flashed the DN3 version 4 RC2 and now I have IMEI null and Baseband is unknown.
I did search and came across couple posts which I'd used; listed below.
I've read and followed these instructions from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2389426
As well as using the tools listed on that page.
I've also used Dr.Ketan's aroma efs backup/restore to try and restore my efs and I've tried EFS professional.
I have old efs back up from 9/10/2013 in the .img file and the other one from 24/08/2013 in tar.gz file.
Is there any other way to try and restore my phone to its formal functional glory using any of these back ups?
Any help is much appreciated.:laugh:

This happened to me when I flashed a N7100 rom to my N7105 by mistake, to get it to work again,I unrooted my device, then I installed samsung Kies, from in Kies I went to "Tools" and "Firmware upgrade and initialisation".
It will ask for the serial number under your battery so have it handy before you do this. You will have to boot into download mode and let
Kies do the rest.
It worked for me, cant hurt to try.
Good luck.

You must have to restore with EFS Professional because there are no same patterns were observed for apps but custom recovery does. Now a days in almost every custom recovery offers efs backup and restore(Philz toch is very well), and this is meant to be a suitable method.
Luckily enough it was just a dirty flash! I guess the EFS was still intact and it was just a bad ROM installation.
All is solved

Hey you should try EFS PRO for making backup of your efs because it's easy to use..???????
Sent from my GT-N7100 using XDA Forums Pro.
After a problem with my computer I lost the backup made with twrp, and I need to flash back EFS to the z2 after a few test I made. Can someone send me a EFS backup? Tried to restore it with LineageOS but no luck, I keep getting IMEI 0.

Thank you a lot!!!
Hello,
I reformatted my system. internal storage, and whatnot. I hade kept countless copies of my efs, of which, primarily, is one the created by Alexndr's rom. I restored that using the command in the txt file provided by Alexndr. Irregardless of my restoring efs in TWRP recovery, I boot up in to the OS with IMEI 1 and IMEI 2 as unknown, because I have a dual sim model. What am I missing here?
Thanks
