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

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,
I recently got a mini s3 (i8190L) and, of course, loved the smartphone.
I did root the device, installed CWM and installed a Custom ROM compatible with my version, the Dmod v5.
My device does not recognize the baseband, it says "CP" and "CSC", despite the IMEI apparently be ok.
Baseband: XXXX
AP: I8190LUAMB1
CP: XXXX
CSC: I8190LZTOAMA1
Biuld Number: JZO54K.I8190LUBAMB1
Restored the default firmware (HOME_I8190LUBAMB1_I8190LZTOAMA1.tar.md5) several times between tests and nothing working.
I've tried sooo about it and keep looking, but this hard to find a solution.
Problem: I can not get on the 3G network and not use the internet service provider (Claro - Brazil).
Can anyone help me? Perhaps a simple backup who has the same device solves. Please, I'm desperate.
#EDIT------
Someone who has the I8190L, please put backup your modem.bin?
dd if =/dev/block/mmcblk0p12 of=/storage/extSdCard/modemfs.img

#EDIT ----------
I come to post the solution to my problem, thanks to Benzonat0r.
The problem was the simple lack of file NV.DAT.
A big thanks to everyone who helped me.
Use a CSC changer on the play store and find one for your device

Hey,
search on xda ("baseband xxxx") , the answer is already out there
you need to reflash your modem and efs !
=> you will need root (including terminal) & the two backup img
then you will need to flash these

When I open the "CSC", it gives me no option to change.
I have root on the device, select the option and the option open, but still.
I tried to use the ROM Benz in v2 (which seemed to be a solution), but then started to not catch network and recognize the SIM out instead of giving "XXXX" in number, came to be "unknown".
Someone who has the GT-i8190L of Brazil, can, PLEASE backup the EFS for me?
Is there any other solution besides the backup?
#EDIT------
The problem is that I am new to Samsung and time to wipe I formatted the modem, this was my mistake.
Would like very much that someone postasse backup for me, ^ ^.

In the first post, the user asks to post only the i8190 and not the "L" or "N".
If I play these files on my machine, I run the risk of losing it or I risk it?
But in EFS the IMEI is stored or not ?

Are you saying that I if I use Enox, going back to work?
Enox AMD3 Revenge is not only for the GT-I8190?
#EDIT---------
Before doing all this ****, I did the CWM backup, but even giving wipe everything and restoring it, still not working.
The problem is more severe or the CWM backup does not back up the Modem / EFS?
I'm saying that I use the one from ENOX revenge Rom thread. But I don't know if you are looking for that file...

I do not know if backed up with CWM and copy the folder EFS ModemFS, but I'll wipe around the cell, restore the backup and backup again, but only the EFS and ModemFS.
If that does not work out, try to Enox. ^ ^
An hour has to go right, lol.
Friend, try no to screw your EFS partition..it contains the sim-lock infos and the IMEI as well as another sim-related settings, try to flash that modem, but DO NOT try with EFS.. it isn't the first time I see someone crying because they screwed their EFS partition and losing the sim-unlock.

Thanks for the warning.
Because, everything works normal, be called, sms, wifi, bluetooth, etc.. Only what does not work is the internet's operator, because when I'm in phone status, it says "Unknown" in "Mobile network type" and does not recognize the "Status" it.
Anyway, still in search of a possible solution or the backup (if I can) solve the problem.

Is your phone locked to Claro? If it is, then you're flashing the wrong FW.
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/?model=GT-I8190L&pcode=ZTA#firmware
You need a file named NV.DAT, it's missing from your /modemfs/PERM/PROT
Use this one.

Very useful guide bro Great :good:
The odin thing works for me, but if i install the rom, imei goes again. I downloaded hex editor. Took backup with galaxy toolbox. Copied the backup to pc. Opened it with hex editor. Typed 0x80000. Then surprisingly, my imei is already there. There is no need for me to type it. But when i save and restore, there is no imei again. What's going wrong?

Hi Hitesh,
Thanks for your reply in other thread and pointing me here.
As listed in my question, I have tried suggestion 1 - After flashing [ROM] TouchWiz-Resurrection V9.5 [08/03/2014] , which I lost IMEI. Then I flashed kernel
[DEV][KERNEL][2.6.35.7] ThunderKernel 2.2 [UPDATE 10/07/2014]
Still no IMEI.
Method 3, hex editor does not work. .save file in Galaxy backup already has correct IMEI but phone still does not show IMEI.
Is there any other Kernel you recommend? I tried Rafael kernal 2.6.35-7 also but this bricked the phone so had to remove it.
I solved my issue by flashing kernel again...see...

Thunder kernel wont boot with these rom so go for Rafael's.
I am setting up the Ace I of my niece. I came from the latest Italian stock ROM, after messing up with CM11 Aug 30 (which gets stuck at boot). So I re-flashed the stock ROM with ODIN, installed Raf kernel (w/o modules) and I lost the IMEI: Installed the modules still no IMEI. Now I just installed the Thunderbolt "stock" kernel and the IMEI reappeared.
It must be noticed that Galaxy Tool with Raf kernel did show the IMEI in both the UI "show device" option and in the EFS file (and so there was no way to edit it). It was just the kernel unable to read it.
I tried to edit IMEI for my Galaxy Note 3(Tmobile N900T).
The thing is , I back up the efs with EFS IMEI backup ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ma.wanam.efs&hl=en ). It generates img, tar or tar.gz file. I chose img to edit.... when I search 0x80000 in Hex workshop, that line has a different title 0007FFE9 and doesn't have the IMEI info, there are 00 and FF.......
So what should I do to find my IMEI?

So i try to make it back, i flashed so many patch files according to tutorials on internet. finally my phone bricked i think. i couldnt open even custom recovery. Samsung kies didnt help too, how ever i could open download mode, So i flashed latest korean offical Rom" E210SKSUKNI3_E210SSKTKNI3_E210SKSUKNI3_HOME.tar.md5" using odin. so again i could switch on my phone, then i found my shv-e210s IMEI has changed to new one.my phone back side imei is another one and its original imei. when i insert SIM it show" no service" and network "Unknown" , when i remove SIM it show " limited service" and i can make emgency call simple, and it show some local network providers names, its mean my phone get signals without SIM card and can make emergency calls. Can anyone suggest a method to solve this . if this imei changed by flash files, so it should able to change back to original by another file right?
