Thx for your reply, but unfortunately I've tried restocking using Overcome from the link at your signature.
But it doesn't help, IMEI is still 0044XX
what was the first thing you did that broke the IMEI?
If it was broken after installing CM9/10, then your sdcard will have a backup folder with efs folder and efs-xxx folders.

I don't know anymore, I flash a few ROMs and only then do I notice the GPS not working and IMEI is now 0044XXX.
I've restock a few times with overcome and re-partition, therefore all backup are already lost.
I found some in external SD as well.
and those aren't wiped by any repartitioning or ROM install.

Ooh, where do you find the file ? In backup folder ? I don't have backup folder at the external sd
Yes. Backup folder.
Sorry. That means you dont have a backup.

This is exactly why I leave it. If I screw something up it is easy to reflash.

sorry about not posting it in q&a guys i have done it a few times half asleep and go into wrong forum
Do a nandroid backup, and a titanium backup and this ROM zip too. In case u mess up real bad, and even ur nandroid can't help, u could install this ROM back, and use TiBu to restore apps and data.
Hi guys, I understand that some of you are unhappy with this sim lock because you want to test the latest JB leak . so here i ve a solution for you.
DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK !!!
Precaution:
-* don't use voodoo app after using this mod or any other mod, (if you want use other mod restore your original efs file).
-** Before to update to a new build (like the coming stable JB) restore your original efs.
*, **, in the case you got the phone unlocked you can always use my mod to unlock it :good:
HOW TO UNLOCK
- First you need to backup your "EFS FILE" in safe place.
- you must be in unlocked stock firmware like BLG8 (using voodoo app + libsec-ril.so (mike1986 fix))
- unzip the attached zip "efs.zip"
- copy the files (.nv_core.bak, .nv_core.bak.md5) to your EFS file
- reboot and enjoy !!!
NOTE: applying this mod will not change your imei.
Backup & Copy & Past & Reboot ....easy
This MOD will remove the lock completely.
Don't tell me what i did because SAMSUNG ......is UNHAPPY
JUST CLICK ON THANKS
Is there something lost in translation?
"before backup this efs"
I think you mean backup efs before doing this?

I have a g note with almost 2 years warranty. I want to root and change the ROM.
My question is how to backup important files and details such as csc files, that file containing imei number just in case if I had to return it to Samsung in state like it is right now.

You don't have to backup anything (rooting don't wipe) but if you still want to backup apps then use any app backup application from Google play and the folder you are talking about is efs folder, you can't backup efs without root.
First root and then backup downloaded apps and data using Titanium backup and , you can backup efs by using some efs backup tool. Check dr,ketan's toolbox in first link in my sig.
Thanks a lot mate. And what about my csc code? I should write it down or save it some how?

You can save the csc folder from system to SD using root explorer after root or check this for more info.
I have a galaxy tab gtp1000 running g aokp Sgt job(gsm). After inserting the sim,the tab doesn't shoe any bars,but I have tested the sim on other mobiles and it works just fine.In the status section of settings it shies my carriers name and it shies mobile network disconnected.this problem even existed on cm10.The imei is also wrong ,it shows 00499... which is wrong.
Please help me get network connectivity back!!
I have pm you before, right?
Go to /sdcard /backup
Find the oldest one I think is safest.
Replace the entire /efs with the one from backup.
The latest might be already bad.

I had same problem too,
but i can't fix it
in /sdcard/backup i have 2 subfolder, they are "efs" and "efs-189"
what i must have to do?
sorry my bad english
They are just two different backups.
Use the older of the two. I have more than a dozen.
If you can't tell, try one after another.
If all fail, restock. And if stock good, try a rooted custom Rom like overcome. Then backup the /efs manually.

hello guys I'm trying to do a backup of efs folder, but there a way I can do it
using root explorer or similar I can not find the folder and everyway I consider a method unsafe
if I use terminal emulator that what I think is the best method
if I type the command su
to follow busybox tar zcvf / sdcard / efs-backup.tar.gz / efs
I report the error as attached image
What should I do?
where am I wrong?
thank you in advance anyone help me
see you soon
