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.

Hope this helps someone.
sorry repeated post.
I saw another post here asking pretty much the same question but I gotta ask again after trying every method I could find resulting in failure and frustration. Has anyone been able to change the IMEI numbers on a Redmi 5A? I tried both the Dual IMEI writer and QSPT even wiping out EFS partition and nothing worked. Can't even get IMEI to become a 0 with erasing modemst1 or modemst2. I think Redmi 5A's were the firsts of newer Redmi devices having newer security features as interestingly enough the phone won't boot after I changed the ROM from China to Global if I re-lock it, so I have to keep my bootloader unlocked.
If anyone could help me change the IMEI number I'd appreciate it so very much!
Thanks.
Help me change imei after firmware writes 1234567890ABCDE on 2nd sim.- 1234567890ABCDF and on modem 0 help how to fix it? Root is. firmware miuipro_v7.1.2_riva_8.9.6. change through the engineering menu and Xposed were not successful.
I have 2 redmi 7 (onclite): mine 3gb+64 gb and my wife's a chinese version 4 gb+64 gb.
The problem is that both came with global stable rom, mine had locked bootloader and my wife's had unlocked bootloader. In particular my wife's redmi 7 hasn't got fingerprint scanner option, while on mine I have it and I can set it with no problem. I've already reflashed fastboot rom (miui 11) but i can't find fingerprint optione in any way.
Question is: has my wife redmi7 fingerprint hardware problem or is there any way to activate again fingerprint?
Please check whether your wife's device is encrypted or not. If there is no encryption fingerprint won't work otherwise maybe hardware failure.
It can be encryption problem

Thank you for your answers!!! I just wanted to know how can I get information about encryption

Sorry for my English
I have the same problem tried every way to solve it but it was not successful
I have same problem and situation, no solution yet
I bought a redmi 9 (lancelot) in November. After unboxing I came to know that it has google dialer and messenger instead of mi messenger and dialer as it was a global variant. I went through different forums and found out that only indian roms have mi messenger and dialer so I decided to flash my phone with an Indian rom. first of all I unlocked its bootloader via official xiaomi unlock tool. it took 7 days. After that I flash my phone in fastboot mode with a miss matched file it was "cattails" file. I didn't knew about its codename yet (and yes that was the stupid part where I kept continue my try to flash the phone ) .
somehow phone flashed successfully but it never rebooted after flash and gone dead. now its only showing mtk port and I am unable to flash its factory firmware. how can this problem be solved now please guide me.
I don't want to visit customer care center again as they told me to replace its motherboard as they do not have authorized mi account to flash the phone.
