[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karlonicolas:
Just sharing my experience in solving this issue. Hopefully it will help solve those who have similar issues.

I flashed a file which messed up my EFS partition. I had a backup and tried to use the available programs to restore my EFS using my backup. None worked. I even brought it to the samsung store, but they said they would change the motherboard and reprogram, and replacement and service would cost more than half the cost of a new N7105. I purchased the phone in another country. The people who had stores to repair phones gave up on my phone. They also offered to replace the motherboard for US$175.00.

My phone was originally under a DMB2 rom (from Singapore I think). I flashed a DMC3 rom, and used this for five months, until i encountered the problem.

I initially gave up and got a note 3. But i could not believe the phone was junk and people in XDA (as I observed) do not seem to give up.

After two weeks, i found the solution below, which brought my phone to working condition.

1. I flashed the stock rom N7105ZHDMI2_N7105ZZHDMI2_TGY from sammobile.

2. I flashed a pit file using Odin. The pit file is found here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2137008

This restored the baseband. But IMEI was no longer NULL. However, it was still 0.

3. I downloaded and used the EFS Pro from this link:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1308546

Before using EFS Pro, make sure you dial *#7284# and change the setting of Qualcomm USB Settings to

"RMNET + DM + MODEM"

I will not hurt your phone if you do, but EFS Pro will just not work. If you don't do this, the EFS Pro will display "Phone not responding" or something similar.

NOTE: I couldn't find the option with RMNET, but i used the option that also had an "RM*** + DM + MODEM".

After the phone is read, change back the IMEI to what it was originally.

Dial *#7284# again to change back to "MTP+ADB".

It's all working now.

Hope this is able to help someone. Now i have two working versions of Note.

Thanks to the authors of the program i used, and the people who uploaded the files used.

Cheers!

I lost my imei again after tinkering, so i went back to this post, followed the procedure and it worked again.

hope this will save somebody's phone also.

I treid to use EFS Pro, but when I push the connect button, it says connection was lost and the program crash and ask me to restart it.

What am I doing wrong?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Miaxus:
So did you solve it without an EFS backup or I misunderstood?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sora9009:
after dialing *#7284#
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] colman1982:
EFS backup is not enough on N7105. The IMEI is stored somewhere else. EFS Pro can backup IMEI from Nvram and restore it.

It is also suppose to write IMEI to the phone, but I never manage to connect it to my phone.

Same problem facing but i have this on my GT N7100 ???????

I`m also facing the same problem from few months but in my case it has been repaired by the repairing shop in only 5$ , and they said me that the has done this by some uart tools. But when i gets unrooted by flashing stock or any firmware my note 2`s IMEI gets zero. So i cant stay unrooted and every time I`ve to go back to that repairing shop. So i just wants to know that is this helps to fix this problem permanently . Imeant i just want to stay unrooted after facing all shorts of complications. Plz help

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karlonicolas:
there's supposed to be an option "qualcomm USB settings" after hitting *#7284#. have you tried scrolling down. i recall it was below the "save and reset button"

perhaps your chipset is Exynos. i have tried this only for note 2 lte which has qualcomm.

otherwise, you current modem may be different. perhaps you can flash the modem from DMC3 using odin, reboot, and follow the steps again.

the "qualcomm USB settings" should be similar to the one below (i said similar, because the image below is for S4 not Note 2 LTE)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karlonicolas:
this happened to me also in the process of fixing. i suppose you configured correctly the Qualcomm USB settings, right? using the option with RM***NET...?

What computer OS are you using?

i was able to fix the phone using Windows XP. Also i downloaded all the USB drivers as required in the EFS Pro link.

"Make sure you have Microsoft .NET Framework v4.0 installed on your PC." it also says in the post.

I also turned off Kies. There was also a note to turn off all programs that use ADB.

Good luck!

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Martins2040:
Hello, I am on my way to try this, since i dont have a Baseband or IMEI. (started with no service, signal at all on stock, now im custom, still nothing).

But step 1 is that with the recovery, since it wont accept my N7105XXUEMK9_N7105DNFEMK2_DNF.zip ?

ODIN wont see it in download mode. Perhaps its my recovery (Philz ver 6.12. with cwm 6.0.4.7.).?? :confused:

Looking at the zip file provide, it's an Xposed Module, so install xposed, activate xposed, install all modules, activate them and made the configurations.

But the OP need to be more specific I think. :good:
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] shhbz:
well,

request to user if they can advice on which firmware will be good as if i stay stock is right choice to update to latest or should iI go custom and if later the n which rom as need it for an upgrade for my young bro phone
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] Sachin jain:
If u like asop roms u can do with custom roms..but in custom roms there is no dual SIM functionality only primary SIM works!!!
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] iceyhotguy:
If you are staying stock, go with the latest 4.2.2 firmware as it has improvements in regard of gaming drivers and lags compared to 4.1.2.

There's GENNXT, that's the most stable available stock based ROM.

Advantage of stock would be better gaming experience, samsung apps and dual SIM functionality

While the down side would be the usage of RAM is a little higher, as can be expected by stock based ROMs, so expect freezes and lags every now and then.

If you are going custom, in 4.2.2 there's only CM11 that was just released 3 days ago. If you opt to downgrade to 4.1.2, there's an array of ROMs available like PAC-MAN, MoKee, SlimBean, Resurrection and so on.

Personally I would recommend SlimBean, as it's the one I'm usually on and it's the one with the best battery backup, but all of them are full of customizations.

Advantage of being on these would be great performance, close to no lags at all, and starts with over 500 Mb RAM free

And the main disadvantage would be single SIM functionality and limited graphic drivers from 4.1.2 firmware
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] shhbz:
great so i go with slim so i blv all will be normal as first recovery and then flash super su and then flash the rom. which recovery working better for 4.4.2 flashing
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] raghavsharmaxda:
a specific CWM

for android 4.4.1 cm11(4.4.2 not available yet) you have to use a specific recovery which supports SELinux .....you can find more information about it on cm11 thread...

slim 4.4.2 if you are thinking about(slimcat which is called) , is not at all stable yet !!! so there is no 4.4.2 i clear again....

For anyone using Omar's or JellyAOSP and wants a fairly AOSP sms app with working mms, try 8sms! It looks much better than stock sms, and has quick reply pop-ups.

Thank you.

I am using it now on stock ROM. It works really good but not correctly in stand-alone mode.
[RAZR i Themes and Apps] clickstop:
Yea, stand alone doesn't work for me either. Hopefully it's fixed soon.
[RAZR i Themes and Apps] anerik:
This is a nice app! You can use mmsdependencies from omar or mercurio and get this as a standalone... kinda
[RAZR i Themes and Apps] stumark:
This is exactly what I was after, thanks. It's a bit annoying having two messaging apps but the AOSP app is loads nicer than the moto one.
[RAZR i Themes and Apps] anerik:
Just keep the mmsdependencies.apk and place 8sms. You still need to enable standalone mode, though, otherwise it wont save your mesages
[RAZR i Themes and Apps] paulle:
instead of 8sms you can use textra (seems a little bit leaner than 8smms).

Read OP about features and weekly builds.

Please test the ROM and report what else it not working?

Don't ask - Why "this" feature is not there in 4.4.2 but was there in 4.2.2?

I can't do anything about features (for some features I could, but it would be time consuming and eventually they will be merged in the main ROM by the SlimROMs Team itself). I can only fix device specific issues. SlimKat ROM is still under development from SlimROMs team. They are slowly testing and adding features. This is how ROMs are developed!

[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Android Development] xenon92:
I am a big fan of Halo too. I could, but I won't add Halo to SlimKat as this ROM should be as light as possible. Not everyone uses Halo anyways. So SlimKat will be without Halo. Carbon has Halo built in. I don't know if they've added it to the current kitkat source of carbon or not (as the lib linking issue hasn't been fixed yet for it to boot properly), but they will eventually.
