UPDATE: Flashing the stock Poland ROM (4.4.2) again has totally slowed down the device. Incredible lag. Even the Samsung device setup crashed in the beginning . Why is this happening?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akshayarajdayal:
My bad. After the baseband problem occurred, I had followed a thread that advised to flash the stock hong kong rom. I also flashed the PIT that came along with it. Now I realize that it was for the 16 GB version. The device has gotten slow since then. I am attaching the image of the files I had flashed.

So my latest activity after the baseband UNKNOWN problem has been:

1) Baseband Unknown after flashing Poland as mentioned on FeralFire's thread. (I used Odin3-v1.85 )

2) Flashed the stock hong kong rom as advised on another thread (My bad: wrong PIT file, it was for 16 GB and I have 32 GB) NOTE: The flash had stopped without completion (error'ed while flashing system)

3) Flashed CM11 and worked fine but Baseband still unknown. (Witnessed lag for first time)

4)Backed up EFS/FSC using EFS Professional

5)Flashed stock Poland but now getting considerable lag even on device startup.

EDIT: I reverted to a CM11 TWRP backup I had made and now there is no lag.

Dialing *#06# gives IMIE null/null . I contacted samsung and they said they can't help since n9005 is not released in India yet. My phone was purchased in Dubai from mobileshop.ae. I have the warranty that came in the box though. Is there any way I can fix the IMIE by maybe rebuilding the information manually and also fix the lag issue. :(

Delete your attachments of efs it's not safe & read in this forum about null/null for baseband & imei, normally efs folder would be of 20mb if not mistaken.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akshayarajdayal:
That's the extracted backup. Are the file sizes consistent ? Oh my , this is turning to be hell of a ride for me. Why was EFS backup not emphasized in the Poland upgrade thread? I've spent the last few hours sending emails to Sammy asking for their help. Lets see.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akshayarajdayal:
You mean this one ? Its the TWPR EFS backup that I just made. I can attach this file or PM to you if thats possible. I totally need to know if I've messed up the EFS or not. Opening the file with IDA pro does shoe some data but that just might be structural data and there is lot of padding as well (like hex zeroes )
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hundsbuah:
I can't tell you that sorry. Don't know efs so deep. But if ur baseband and emei is unknown then I think a backup from a efs will not work. But I can't tell u for sure sry

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] claytonjn:
I am trying to set up an Android Virtual Device (AVD) running Android L Preview so that I can begin developing an app using the new Material Design theme. I already have AVDs set up running KitKat and Gingerbread, it is only the Android L Preview that is not working. I have tried both the AVD Manager built-in to Android Studio, as well as from a separate installation of the Android SDK.

Here is my config.ini:

avd.ini.encoding=ISO-8859-1

When I start the AVD I just get a black screen. I ended up letting it run for 5 hours and it never booted. Looking through the logcat, the following errors are repeated continuously:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] claytonjn:
Now I feel like an idiot. I initially had that selected for my Gingerbread AVD but it displayed an error when starting and disabled the message. I assumed my GPU wasn't compatible for whatever reason so I never tried it with the Android L AVD. Or perhaps it had something to do with trying it over an RDP remote desktop session before. Or my RAMDISK being full. Anyways, it's working now, so thank you.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] claytonjn:
Just an update - I discovered two things.

1 - this was not an issue with the L Preview, but rather with emulating a Nexus 5.

2 - there are two ways to solve the issue, one way is to use host GPU, the other is to select a skin rather than choosing no skin. The nice thing about the second method is that the snapshot feature can be used, greatly increasing the emulator start time.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fattire:
FWIW.. I noticed..

So apparently the x86 version of Lollipop in the emulator requires the GPU or else you get a blank screen and missing hwcomposer module support files.. (I don't know if the files are in the preview .imgs but haven't gone looking).

If you create an arm (SLOW AS MOLASSES) arm image.. after the forever of booting you can do actual screenshots. It's 32-bit and the colors band, but there ya go.

This is what happens if a half baked feature incorporated into a released device(I say it is half baked, it never should ask for a pin if the pin is not at all set at the first place & McAfee should have a solution to this problem).

have unlocked my device lg g3 from mcafee

u cannot root this device when its lock by mcafee because of kill switch. so u have to think smart.

try to go to setting, in setting> guest> set a code for guest after it turn on guest option. than restart your device, before comming mcafee put the petern as guest... after this u have to go again in administration, at that time u will see mcafee will not come, and u can easily goto the mcafee app, after going on set your number as a buddy number, after setting buddy number, turn your phone off, insert sim and start it again. macafee will again apear... at that time click on send the code to buddy, proceed it.

this code will be applicable for an hour, so if u got the buddy code, after geting pin code u have to change the pic code to new one... after doing this procedure mcafee pin will be change.. and u can use this device ;)

hope you got my point,:good: you dont need to root your device

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marfioso:
Hi,

The main point of his workaround was to successfully open mcafee app.

why?

- because it has a feature where you can add buddy numbers.

- buddy numbers can be used to retrieve the unknown pin (not the actual pin but a temporary one which you can use to get past the pin log-in screen) through sending temporary pins to the buddy list.

- mcafee will ask for a new pin combination after the pin requirement screen.

P.S As long as you can open mcafee app, you are fine. I also don't have any workaround aside from what the OP posted.
