Forgot to mention, the "working" N900T is running 4.3 / so they are running different versions. Do you think it still would work?

Thanks for the speedy reply!

Ok, Tried to restore both files. I made a backup of my good phone, and moved the resulting zip to another folder, then made a backup of the bad or null imei phone, stored it somewhere else. I actually extracted the zip files, and noticed the "bad" phone is missing another file. Param.bin. I believe.

Anyway, restored the good files to the bad phone, by renaming the zip file, and un checking the md5 checksum button. (Is that what I should have done?)

Also, should I just restore the param file as well?

Thanks

Tried. No luck. Looks like I am missing nvrebuild2.bin, param.bin, and tz.bin in the phone with the missing imei#.

Any ideas? I am thinking of using Kies, and the Initialization tool with serial number. OR, reflash stock rom with Odin? Any Votes on what I should try 1st? Or, another idea?

I would prefer Not to use Kies if I could, but hey, at this point, I just want to fix her.....

Another thing you could try is make backup of working phone with QPST then write ESN / MEID / IMEI of the bad phone to the qcn file with EFS Pro and then restore the modified qcn file to the bad phone.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noobtoob:
Since you got your phone back up and running, I think all you need to do is follow the imei portion of the restore. Run cfroot, update super su, and flash twrp as mentioned in the op, then try this part...

And here are the partitions of the n900t so you don't make any more mistakes. They are pretty much the same, but you already should have the 900t pit from the thread you grabbed my recovery image...

Hi Mirek, so far this is the only tutorial that will let repair the SM-N9005, thank you very much for the help, in my case I could not run the adb commands, the link to download the file NOTE3-Fixsoftbricked.rar not works, and is the only file that did not get on the internet. However, I did all the other steps and the phone no longer boots and hangs or restarts, but even detects cellular networks, says emergency calls only. By dialing * # 0011 #: IMEI CERTI: PASS, and serial is correct. if the solution to my problem is to run the ADB commands, please send me the file to caedcalu@gmail.com, if you post the solution here will surely help many others

Imei solved but no network

Hello.

[MENTION=2198172]mirek190[/MENTION] THX voor all your hard work. You solved my problem with IMEI and serial.

But, I have no network connection.

I am not asking for ETA or something but i like to know if there is any possiblity that someone can fix that problem sooner or later?

I know buying a box can be the solution but that's about 270 euro for maybe one time use.

So, is there any hope that the problem can be fixed with software only ?

It seems that a lot of people are in the same boat.

We only have a nice small tablet but no phone.

Dear mirek190,

I have a sm-n900 exynos and I have lost my imei and baseband during a Samsung flash. I have a TWRP backup, efs.img backup by dr.ketan's backup tool but nothing is able to restore my efs. I have scanned emmc blocks for bricked blocks and all blocks come back as non-corrupted. may be the partition is corrupted .how do I erase my efs partition to rebuild it.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mithudas28:
can you guide me to identify the partitions and how to rebuild them. by any chance anyone know if I could extract twrp backup to files to restore efs or from efs.img so I can use the nv_data.bin. since tried restoring the backups and it didn't restore I feel the partition might be corrupt and hence not being re-written. so might be I have rebuild the partitions by formatting as explained in this thread. but I don't know exactly the steps for exynos variant. I tried using terminal on twrp but mkef2 command shows mmbcblkp03 doesn't exist which as I have read in posts is the efs partition on this phone and reboots:confused::confused:. and mmbcblkp12 show filesystem too small and reboots.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaOldMan:
Usually on N-900 this has nothing to do with partition problems but with a new EFS changed by a new modem. Try to flash the new modem:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/smn900/files/Modem/N900_XXUENE1_MODEM_CWM.zip/download

Shutdown the N-900 before entering download mode. Also you may remove battery. Then use odin to flash. Should fix the IMEI and Baseband unless something worse happened to it.

hi, well I have almost tried everything possible for restoration including dd if=/storage/sdcard/efs1.emmc.win of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3

similarly for efs2.emmc.win ef3, efs4. but still to no avail. the only logical outcome I feel is that the efs filesystem is corrupt hence no file is getting written back. so would need to format the filesysytem . could you guide me with the steps.

hi

I have efs.img 20 mb

and details of my twrp backup is attached could you figure a way to format my efs partitions eg emmcblk0p3,emmcblk0p4,mmcblk0p5,emmcblk0p6

I am not able to restore is because nothing is getting written on to these partitons as the file system is corrupt.

I have also used

su

dd if=/storage/extSdCrad/efs1.emmc.win of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3

dd if=/storage/extSdCrad/efs2.emmc.win of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4

dd if=/storage/extSdCrad/efs3.emmc.win of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5

dd if=/storage/extSdCrad/efs4.emmc.win of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p6

but as I pointed out I feel the partitions atre corrupt hence even if everything is getting written it's not getting restored .

could someone guide me through the mke2fs commands and how to use them to format these partitions.

Hi folks!

I have a problem with my friends note 3 lte... Well here goes. He bought it in Dubai, returned here (Croatia) and left me the phone to "fix it". When i asked him what is wrong with it, he just said that there is no signal at all and that the phone is unstable. It somethimes reboots after launching an app , somethimes by itself after a minute of loading the OS and somethimes works just fine... Well, he was in a hurry so i said i'll give it a look. I thought to myself this is a piece of cake... But I was wrong... After a day of trying everything i know here is where i am at the moment. The phone has no IMEI (null/null) and no Baseband (unknown). It wont work on a local SIM card (i guess it's sim-locked to some Dubai carrier?), wifi works but when i turn it on it takes like 2-3 minutes just to show the green icon... I tryed to flash a couple of different new 4.4.2 firmwares (all stock), but nothing changed. Now it's on XXUEND6. So, what can i do now? I tryed to restore the IMEI but no success. I even tryed with Qualcomm NV Tools but the phone can not connect to the program and the drivers are installed (usb settings on RMNET+DM+MODEM). Please help :confused:.

More the same - Help please!

Hi, I was trying to install a different baseband version on my international N9005 (Android 4.4.2) with ODIN and it all went fine (a process that I have done a good number of times already). However, when I restarted the phone, I got into a boot loop and after wiping cache and dalvik I got the phone to start. The problem is that the phone is now showing baseband unknown and IMEI null. Just so you have the right information, I live in the UK and I originally had modem version XXUENB1, after which I have tried several others such as XXUENC2, XXUENF2, DXNE3 and ZHNE6, being the latter the last I had after trying to install version XXUENE3, which is the one that left my phone out cold.

I do my backups using Philz recovery, and I have a few EFS backups using it, which I have tried to restore with no luck. I have also tried restoring old full system backups and a brand new firmware via ODIN but I got the same result. Again, I have tried installing different baseband versions with ODIN which I know that worked, but no changes. I only have your method to try but I don't have all the required files, could you of anybody else for that matter update the link to 'my files' (last link in the list)???

I am desperate, I do not know what else to try.

Thanks in advance

Just to let you know,

I had tried flashing flash latest full UK NF4 system before and it didn't work. However, desperate as I was, I went again and gave it another shot and incredibly enough, it worked!!!!
