[Q] IMEI gone to generic... - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Yesterday I flashed the JB rom by Crash (oh, ze irony). It worked for an hour, but then it rebooted and hung at the Samsung logo at boot. When going in to CWM i saw that the /efs could not be found, and I dont have a backup of my efs folder.
After trying nearly everything today, i cant seem to get my own IMEI back. First it was empty, now its the generic one (0049****). Currently im back on GB because i cant get on my mobile network with ICS or JB with the generic IMEI.
I tried most of the tutorials to get it back, tried the GSII_Repair tool, none of them seem to work.
I also tried the .nv/.nv.bak removal/backupping/replacing, but that doesnt seem to help either. Problem in some tutorials is that i have to move the imei folder and the .nv_data file, both of which are not present in my /efs folder.
Can anyone help me out? The phone runs stable and fine now under GB (with the generic IMEI it can work with GB apparently), but i would really like to go to ICS again

You can use (I have a developer IMEI and I use this workaroung right now.) it with ICS or JB. After a reboot you have to change the pin number. After this you'll get your network connection. That was one reason why I used GB a long time - but today I switched to JB (eybee) and had to use this way.

I dont think i really understand you. Under ICS i cant use it, because my network doesnt allow me to sign on. Under GB it does, but id rather just have ICS or JB and my own IMEI...

if you didnt make efs backup your screwed. And no nandroid doesnt back it up. No titanium backup also doesnt.
You need samsung to fix it for you, or get someone, cvxcvx, to that, if you can prove the phone is yours...
you learned the hard way.
I really think all rom makers should have in their first post a line that says back dafuq efs up first.
Anyway, the 49 is not developers, it is test emei, and yea its banned in some countries so if, like in Uk they decide to update banned imei list, you wil lose service.

[Q] Anyway to restore 100% stock

Please don't say Odin 1 click as it does not go 100% back to stock.
The nv_data.bin and bml3 device are not as stock. I have FFFFFFF where my unlock code used to be and my unlock code no longer works.
Master Clear and then JF6 restore doesn't change these either. I find it hard to believe there is no way to get 100% back to new.
Any ideas?

Well it seems like this Phone is a bit like windows 95 when it comes to wiping and reloading it. Bits and pieces of other installs are left over? Wish I knew how to help you. Perhaps someone out there has a completely stock nandroid they could send you. I know there's one for the Vibrant.

Yeah, but with any flavor of windows i can do an Fdisk and repartition.
I wonder if i can use standard odin and repartition? Anyone know?

Why did you send it back? I am curious how the /EFS directory gets built - it stores the IMEI related stuff and lock code data, but it doesn't get wiped with a Odin full restore.
I would think that if you put your phone in recovery mode, there should be an option to format the internal sd card. After you do that, just do a factory reset, and then run Odin One-Click back to JF6
Edit: There's not even a need for recovery mode. Go to Settings > SD card and phone storage > and then under Internal SD card you'll see "Format SD card".

Format SD card only formats the ~14GB that acts as an SD card that the user has access to. The 2GB that makes up all the system partitions is not touched. Some of it is rewritten when you do 1 click install - but not all.
With JF6 your NV_data.bin is not created like the original and the IMEI and BT files are dated from June - so the EFS partition is never rewritten. Maybe if you delete it is recreated, but i doubt it.

I bricked mine trying to go to Froyo. They sent it back to me with JH7 so no go :/ Sorry.
did anybody try calling att if you are a att cust they will give you the code for free.
over on the i9000 forum they say when froyo first came out if you left your sim in the phone when you flashed it would relock your phone.
can anybody verify that if they goto froyo with a unlocked captivate without the sim do they still get locked.
if so it might be a measure to prevent people from messing with the beta to much

Actually I did try it. In July, they said wait 60 days. Yesterday they input my IMEI and their system told them that the phone can't be unlocked - due to AT&T exlusivity. i am in the process of escalating, but it is hard to say what will happen.
It certainly appears that it is not as simple as waiting 60 days.

Those guys say what they think, but they make you call central to do certain functions - at least in the past. I guess I could go into a store and check, but I doubt I will do any better.

I'm curious about this too...it seems that once you mod the phone in any way it's never 100% stock again. I wonder if having the SIM in when a mod is done has anything to do with it - does anyone know if the SIM can be written to and, if so, if anything is written to it during a mod?
I've tried everything possible to get this phone 100% stock again in an effort to get Kies Mini to STOP giving me the "unrecognized" error, including cleaning Windows registry and trying on my Windows XP Pro partition - no go. Something, somewhere, is providing information to Kies Mini.
---Edit---
Dumb question about writing to SIM; but question about something being written to it during a mod - if left in - still stands. Anyone?

The SIM can only hold contact data - and very limited amount. I can almost guarantee that nothing is written to the SIM card.
Is Kies not recognizing the phone is plugged in , or refusing to upgrade because it is the wrong type? Unrecognized device by keys is usually due to Samsung drivers and reinstalling them has helped me.
But it seems that the only way to revert to 100% stock is via Samsung repair service.

then I will take you to imagine me sat there if you can repair or not?and if someone with another mini me pass that backup could be repaired?
I already said this in an similar thread: I doubt it can be done, since every /efs partition on every device is unique. If you find a way to back it up from the working Mini without screwing it up, let me know .
I did some research on the Internet and tutorials for SGS and SGSII do not work for our device. I can't seem to find where the nvdata.bin file is (which is the most crucial, and contains imei and bunch of other very delicate and important stuff).
Note that changing the IMEI is illegal, and also, having two Mini's with the same IMEI won't work.

Help me Please!!!

my galaxy mini dont have imei.. I made a tutorial to unlock the phone and lost my imei. not to do, I'm desperate
help me please...
i tried flash stock rom, custom rom and nothing... i read that the problem has to do with a file called StL5, but i dont know... i hope you can help me... thanx
you are in a big trouble dude
do you have any backup of your imei partition
I lost my IMEI too, when I installed a custom from. But it's not a big problem if you have signal. Just, you can't install apps from PC through play store and you can't use the anti-theft function. And I think you can't recover your IMEI. I tried all the methods, but not success. And if you return your phone to the Samsung service, they will know that your phone is rooted, etc... Only if you hard brick your phone...There are some methods...
So which means he has to purposely hard brick his phone...
sent from a human's mind.
it means he possibly now have an Apod
I Dont have signal, i dont do nothing, the device reboot very much, Dont have Sound.... I think that is dead x.x

[Q] I9305 stay on logo , problem with mount EFS. How to repair it?

Hello everyone
I've got problem with my I9305 lte. I bought it from my friend. It was working fine till my friend try to root phone with software dedicated to i9300. Galaxy right now stay on logo , goes in recovery mode and download mode. In a photo you can see cause of this thread.
I tried to flash oryginal software by Odin. Everything looks fine. Odin doesn't see any error. Galaxy still stay on logo with red error in recovery mode. I don't have backup with EFS folder... If it help i9305 is from vadofone Germany.
Could anyone help me ?
RIP, motherboard replacement is needed now
Does anyone have more positive idea ? Phone is like new , near 2 mounths of use...
Motherboard replacement....
Is that more positive??
And next time, read everything you can before you stuff around with something! Damn, the first thing I did was backup my efs folder :banghead:
I found this. I'll try it tommorow when I'll come back home. : alliance-rom.com/community/wiki/imei/
I was looking for motherboard for i9305 on ebay etc. but there is nothing...
So you have no backup of the efs folder, a phone that won't boot properly, and you obviously didn't read your link properly either.
Good luck, enjoy buying a new phone

Thanks for the quick reply mate. Will this work on my International GTi9300 do you know? Sorry I should have said that earlier. I've had all previous versions of the Galaxy models and never got a problem like this.
One guy above says a new motherboard is the only option, I left mine in for repair and because the custom binary was at 2 the warranty was Void. So they quoted me €150 just today. I can't afford that at the moment. But after so many searches here on XDA, it seems some people with the same issue as myself have managed to fix it. Thats why i am a bit sceptical, because I have my EFS folder backed up. Maybe it might work.
I should have my phone back on Monday so if you think this will work on mine I will give it a go and let you know?
Really appreciate the help.
Sorry to hear about your problem.
I did this on a I9305 which is very different to the standard I9300.
These files and methods i used are **ONLY FOR THE I9305***
The only reason i had the problem in the first place is that i flashed I9300 software onto a I9305.
Sorry i cant be of any more help but i am sure if you head over to the i9300 q+a section, someone is bound to know what you should do.
PM me with your exact issue and what you messed up on and i will try and see if i can find some helpful info

i did it with heimdall-cleanui, i think it was on GBT or GRT or GPT or something like that
i guess that was a huge mistake,
I found something intresting were some people can get into Download mode with a 301k Ohm resistance and a micro usb cable, but that was for the S3 and im not sure if that can work.
i would put the instructions here but i dont know if you understand german

If I understand it correctly, this 300k resistor trick is the same as a USB jig, and should work on the S3 mini. It may be worth a try building one is you can find instructions. Nothing to lose!

Restoring you efs would not restore your imei because novathor phones don't save their imei in efs I restored it many times but my imei doesn't came back so give to samsung they would give a new phone for free .don't tell them anything you did just say it was running fine and suddenly bricked.
ok ive tried the resistance, didnt worked

dude i dont think theyll give me a new one my warranty is expired for 2 month now AND its rooted.
If anyone can tell me a good (and not too expensive) service in Europe (good) or better in germany it would be very helpfull.
