it's no method solve this problem ..? :crying::crying:
i solve i9305, write imei method , but 7105 is write protect ,read only ..

Happened to me when I flashed ROM via mobile Odin. I just flashed stock ROM again and got my IMEI/baseband back... worth a try.

nothing can be done at this point you will have to pay for the support.
Always remember to make a backup of EFS before flashing files.

If i remember correctly flashing rom doesnt wipe out ur imei
IMEI will not get lost in any circumstances... So far flashed as many roms & zips & still not a single error. Also, I think that there's no particular method for backup or restoring IMEI.

without doing something wrong while unlocking, your emei will not be removed/corrupt or what else.
so just dp the right things, no need to make a backup, wich may result in losing it top

[Q] Invalid imei / corrupted efs file.

Hello, I need serious help :/
After flashing Paranoid 3.6 into my device, I lost mobile network. So I came back to stock 4.1.2.

Did you search your entire device for the folder efs_Backup? It should create automatically. If you don't find that. Use note2 toolkit and restock.

Hi.. Exactly the same as my problem.. Even changed imei is the same.. Which recovery do you use? I use twrp recovery and it backup efs. I just restore imei with twrp and everything went fine..

I have a phone backup not the EFS backup. The Imei got corrupted all of a sudden. Next time i'll keep a EFS backup. i have few stock roms but i don't have Modem / recovery Roms and i found this thread " http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31986738&postcount=6 " but the links are dead. You got any links to download stock ROMS along with Modem / Recovery / Bootloader , then please do share. Also, ROM links are slow if you can provide fast meta link that would help.

When did the problem start exactly. My guess is that its an efs structure problem. Done by updating to a newer samsumg rom TW etc..
Also, are your imei and serial intact Nazgul?

Read up on that before you install it. It may not be exactly what you are looking for. Just a heads up.
Its usually used for no imei and serial. Not the same issue you are having. But as I said, read up on it
Its used for patching your existing imei and restoring not only for no imei

i did a bad flash one time and i lost all my information my IMEI and my BASEBAND . the way i fixed it was via the KIES SAMSUNG SOFTWARE i did a full recovery.
1. open program
2. click on tools
3. select firmware upgrade and initialization
4. type in model number with caps and dash click ok
5. it will ask for serial number
6. if you do everything correct this should work and it will tell you you will lose all information on phone click yes and it will start to download new firmware and it will update your phone to new firmware . and you should also be able to get your IMEI back and the BASBAND back . that's how i fixed my phone for a min i thought i had a brick . this happen to me twice and twice i was able to recover my SGH-T889

You have downgraded yr bootloader...
Check yr knox status it might be showing 0×1
If thats the case simply flash twrp custom recovery n root yr device using dr.ketans utility tool.
N try taking efs back (all though its late)
Then download DN3 V4 RC2 custom rom from dev section and flash it.
Might get life back to yr note2...
Or
If yr knox status is 0×0
Try flashing stock 4.4.2 rom available for india.
This might bring back yr imei no..n phone to working state
Hi download and flash this http://www.mediafire.com/?9li221fj96r66qb hope it helps
