I lost my imei after restoring the backup - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

I lost my imei after restoring the backup of my rom.
How should I go to get my imei?
Thank you

You also restored a modem with your backup? At first I would try to flash again the latest installed modem before I installed the backup
Don't be afraid to hit the "Thanks" button if someone helped you. It don't hurts

[Solved] Backup ModemFS (GT-I8190L)

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.

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?

[Q][GT-I9305] EFS, IMEI Repair

Okay everybody,
I decided to write a new thread for my problem because I think my prob is a very special thing.
I'm from germany, so please don't wonder about my english. I think it is a understandable.
The story begins with a software update for my GT-I9305. After the update, the IMEI was just "null", after some work with google I found out that the efs partition was broken. With my bad knowledge for this case, I destroyed the whole EFS folder. I installed perseus kernel. And, there it was! The whole and correct IMEI. The solution was the perseus kernel (stock doesn't work, neither reflash). But then, after a while the phone doesn't boot anymore. I flashed Android 4.4.4 and my phone was revived but the IMEI was again "null". I have no backup or anything else!
So I spent approximately 20 hours or more to understand the efs thing. I found much solutions but nothing worked for me. So, here I am.
What I've tried before
-reflash KitKat
-reflash Perseus (not compatible anymore)
-formatting efs partition for a blank and new EFS for editing
-tried to edit nv_data.bin with HEX
-tried to backup efs with a 3rd party app and edit this with hex (the app doesn't support my GT-I9305)
and then, there it was:
-tried to use a working EFS partition from another GT-I9305
-editing with Qualcomm NV Tools! (I think THIS is the solution!)
I tried NV-items_reader_writer (1.0) and EFS Professional (2.1.73), but in both can't find my phone:
What I've done in NV-items_reader_writer
-dialed *#7284#
-at "Qualcomm USB Settings": "RNDIS + DM + MODEM"
-enabled USB Debugging in phone
-connected the phone
-opened NV-items_reader_writer
-checked the both boxes near the SPC box
-selected the right port (last: COM4)
-clicked on "connect"
-clicked on "read"
-> here it search the phone, but it can't find it and says "Failed.. Phone does not answer"
What I've done in EFS Professional
-dialed *#7284#
-at "Qualcomm USB Settings": "RNDIS + DM + MODEM"
-enabled USB Debugging in phone
-connected the phone
-opened EFS Pro
-clicked on "Qualcomm NV Tools"
-refreshed the Available COM Ports
-selected "SAMSUNG Mobile USB Serial Port" (last COM4)
-clicked on "Connect"
-> Here it takes few seconds and he stops and says: "Phone connection has been lost!" and "Unable to send SPC to the Phone!"
What I've tried to solve this problem
-tried QUALCOMM USB Settings: "DM + MODEM + ADB"
-reinstall all Samsung drivers
-tried to install Samsung Modem with Qualcomm drivers (failed due to wrong platform; I've Win7 X64)
-reinstall Samsung Kies (for actual drivers)
-tried to dial *#9090# (in my case, this menu is totaly blank)
-tried in factory mode
It could be that I forgot some....
Now, my question to you all is, do you know what I've done wrong? I mean, this is working for the most users, but why not for me? What do you think? Did you think I really forgot something?
Some informations:
Phone: GT-I9305
Android: 4.4.4 KitKat
Kernel: Stock (3.0.31-2760029 ; [email protected] #1 ; Fri Sep 12 13:08:24 KST 2014)
Buildnumber: KTU84P.I9305XXUFNI3
Windows: Windows 7 X64
Do you need more informations? Post it!
Please help me, I want to bring this phone back to life!
And yes I know, to change the IMEI to a number which is not your own is ILLEGAL and to prevent this, it is not well seen to talk about, but this is MY PHONE and I want to change the "null" IMEI and IMSI to MY ORIGINAL IMEI. If this is a problem, I can send a PM to an mod with my phone (where you can see the IMEI), my username on a sheet of paper and the original box with the IMEI printed on. All on one picture!
Simply... I need a hero! Be MY HERO!
im in the exact same problem as you. the reason nv tools and efs reader is not seeing your phone is because you have NULL well usb wont work. so try installing the original 4.1.1 firmware, then install perseus, then nv tools and efs software will see your phone. if you end up fixing it please help me out. upgrading to a later firmware is where I get stuck. just stays on the boot logo. and like you said perseus isn't compatible. you seem to know how to use nv tools so hopefully you can get somewhere. as I don't no how to use it. GOOD LUCK.
take your phone to the samsung if you have warranty.otherwise give to a phone repair shop for repair because your problem can only be solved with special boxes and equipments etc, and they have it. it will not cost too much.

I tried this, already. But I can't downgrade from 4.4.4. I don't read very much about this. I just know that this is a new security option from samsung (or Android)... I will tell you when I know more

take your phone to the samsung if you have warranty.otherwise give to a phone repair shop for repair because your problem can only be solved with special boxes and equipments etc, and they have it. it will not cost too much.

Thank you for your reply!
The warranty is already expired...
This will be the last step I will do. Before this, I will try my very best to do this at home... But thank you for this tip
Edit:
What do you all think about this idea:
-I try to find somebody with a working EFS on GT-I9305 Android 4.4.4
-I get a backup from him
-I restore this backup to my phone
-I edit the duplicated IMEI with NV Tool to my IMEI
This requires that the NV Tool will with work with an existing IMEI and the the phone will be THE WHOLE TIME IN PLANE MODE to prevent IMEI ban...
What do you think? Will this work? Do I need somebody from germany (DBT) or is this not needed?
Take it to a phone repair shop they might have a way to fix it. And if they don't they might know someone who can and it would likely be cheaper than Samsung service center

Thank you, I will try this, too. But this is more if your efs isn't mounted. My partition is there but just clear.
I will tell my experience after testing.

Now I tried my idea with the EFS partition from somebody with a working GT-I9305. In my case, this isn't working... I think I must try the next step and try to repair it from a shop or so...
Hello,
someone could give me an EFS file because I deleted mine but my camera would not boot and remains on bootloop
thank you in advance

Repair shops aren't as expensive as you think to get my camera replaced all up cost 50$ au dollars and when I first got into Android I trashed heaps of phone's (low end thankfully) before I knew what the hell I was doing and never cost me more than 80$

I want to update all you guys.
I flashed the old bootloader so I was able to downgrade to Jelly Bean. There I installed perseus and now I could connect to the Network, but I don't want. IMEI ist still 0.
But now I can enter *#9090# menu. But I can still not connect the phone with any DM Prog

If you were to 4.4.4 Official Stock rom can`t do downgrade the bootloader.What you have done is downgrade to Firmware with extracted knox bootloader.But you still with EFS corrupt partition.

Hm okay. I applied a "old bootloader" before here from xda. I don't know what it was exactly. There was a boot.so or so in it.
I will try my best. I mean, if I can beat this, this is a really great success for me. My next step is to restore a full NAND backup from a friends of mine (from a GT-I9305).
I wondered about that, after I restored a working EFS, there were no NV data.

Hi guys, i had the same issue: after a botched restore of nandroid backup (something to do with it being over 2GB, different story though), I lost IMEI (null/null) and no baseband.
I was running CM so I tried to flash the original Samsung ROM, to no avail. Then a whole bunch of other stuff that didn't work, until:
- I flashed kitkat (which failed due to some error in the install script, dunno why)
- then flashed my last nandroid, which I had already flashed with no restoration of phone functionality, HOWEVER,
- I then flashed over that nandroid the modem files (see here: dropbox.com/sh/d2ljv1ylvr9nvib/M7UzMgux4f) , mine was Modem-I9305-XXUENE2.zip for i9305 LTE Intl.
- tadaa! fixed
hope this helkps anyone, took me some 20 hours of tinkering

You may be waiting a long time to get an answer here. It's an old phone and many developers and senior members moved to other phones.
Just saying what I see here in 3C forum.

Anyway I just fixed the problem taking some files from my stock ROM etc/firmware folder , replaced it in the cm13 and voila !!
Using the phone right now, thanks for the reply again .

just replace firmware folder from your stock system/etc folder to this rom's system/etc folder,,you will get your sim detected:good::good:
Hey!! i just got your message.
Re-Flash your old ROM dump, and copy the two files of etc/firmware (file names can be read in the original rasurraction remix post) to your sd card, and then flash again the Rom and copy and paste this two files in the same directory , of course reboot and done! , at least thats what i did , with no pc around.....
If your defice is rooted, download
Chamelephon (app from google play) and let it generate new IMEIs. Then restart, connection should work.

Tested by Sireal (GSM Developer)
HI everyone I purchased a note 8 which was rooted using Magisk. i tried to unroot it but didnt know exactly the device model as it showed SM-N950F in the settings but when i opened it in Download mode, it showed me that device model is SM-N950N. I tried to flash stock firmware of SM-950F but it didn't work despite many efforts. Then I tried SM-950N Korean Sku version and it worked. My device was unrooted but its one IMEI is shown while other displays unknown. I can use only one sim, the other sim is not working. Any solution please.
