I think there is hope for you guys. I once had the same problem with my sgs2 and I searched everywhere... Until I found someone that send me a efs tar file... I told the guy it wouldn't work cause I tried everything... And I had to flash it with odin in the pda section... It totally solved the problem! I don't know where I found that guy but if you just search the net a bit longer, yoi could find it. Just search for efs tar file. It gives you another imei number so be carefull... It's forbidden in some countries...but yeah...
I also found some answers if I typed "baseband unknown galaxy note" in google. About somesort of tool...
Good luck!

Please, can I contact with you? I really need those files for fixing my phone...
You're original imei is specific to the phone and registered with Samsung and the network. If it's corrupted and you have no backup, there is no one who can restore it except samsung. You can create a new imei, but it's illegal and of no use at all. Don't get ripped off by people claiming they can restore your original imei, it's just not possible.

Have you tried flashing a 3 file gb firmware in odin? That always worked for me in the sgs1 days, if it does work get that efs folder backed up immediately

I Want N7000XXLPY Efs Image Please Urgent
do not share your efs with him, it contains imei for your device only...
If this guy didnt do a efs backup of mint factory condition, to bad...
Only Samsung or cvxcvx can fix it for you!

Read the post before yours. It's not possible to do it because of the unique IMEI. If you do not have your old one (written on a sticker inside your device) then there will be not solution.

hi,
From where did you get the stock ROM? I had messed up on a custom ROM and have now ended up with no IMEI and other serial numbers. Unable to connect to any network (both wireless and mobile). Please help.

you can easily find IMEI numbers at the sides of box in which your phone came.
when u get those IMEI numbers.
open engineer mode in your phone. if you dont know how to access it, just download this app called MTK Engineering Mode from here https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.themonsterit.EngineerStarter&hl=en
open this app, tap on MTK Settings.
then goto CDS Information
then to set IMEI of 'Phone 1' tap on it, Here you can see a command line with “AT+”.
Now just add this command to it EGMR=1,7,”IMEI NO” And press “send at command” button. [ if you want to change the the phone 2 IMEI AT+EGMR=1,10,”NEW IMEI NO”]
restart your phone.
n u are all set.
you can check your IMEI by just dialing *#06#

To restore IMEI number, root your phone then use chamelephon app to restore your IMEI numbers.

finally set the IMEI numbers using Chamelephon app. Not sure if it would get erased during next phone reset. Let me wait till I mess up again.

Then try to use Kies. Thats really all the options you have besides flashing a custom rom.

Finds a persist bu same device/region/os and flash it.
Will it work - no guarantees - but since you're already forked, why not try it.
