EFS help - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
if anybody is able to share his EFS, please share it. I've tried modifying many "nv_data.bin" sample files but I couldn't get the IMEI to show something in any case. CVXCVX tried to repair my phone with his tools but still, no success.
I desperately need to fix my N7000 so please try to help somehow. For more info, please read the thread from my signature.

It works for me!

It seems that app won't work if your EFS is lost without a backup. I haven't tried it though.

Wrong Section
Bother this section is for Development section, Please post query, help and other questions in Q&A section.

this can only be repaired with a special JTAG,same that can fix soft bricks.this jtag can rewrite the imei.dont try other methods,this is the only one working.start looking for a service with this tool.here in romania costs about 10 euros....
Sent via N7000 from Asylum CM 10.1, madness at it's finest!

Thread owner should have mentioned that he bought a new eMMC chip and had it soldered on the MB (he hints at his project where this was discussed).
So all the normal possible solutions didn't work.
So maybe something went wrong when soldering.
Or if using a new eMMC chip on a Samsung board this needs some special "initialization" of the chip.
Or each chip has an hard coded IMEI inside, so that using backups or the polish repair with the old IMEI won't work.
(Added an answer here because I think the thread soon will moved to Q&A)

Have you tried the method described in this thread? Hidden Menu enabler tool + IMEI restore method

My technician mentioned that JTAG may be the only solution but I don't know... I'll try Adam's method first.

just find an early rom which has efs. img and flash through odin. It will give you what you need, except for original emei. That you can get Samsung or Polish way
edit, finding that rom will be difficult, but its out there
edit here it is
http://www.sammobile.com/forum/showthread.php?t=3136
It will change your csc, but you can change that by flashing the csc file of your rom of choice, then the *#272*youremei# dial. Note do this on safe kernel only

I have tried installing a 2.3.6 ROM but I still had no IMEI. Maybe the ROM didn't had efs file like the one you've mentioned. I'll try it so thanks anyways...

yeah flash efs file after flashing the rom separately. Set clear efs to yes.
all at own risk
let me know how it goes

What i8190 version have you got. Regular or N/L version?
Have you tried stock rom with odin yet?
If you did use odin, did you flash stock recovery first, or was it included in the firmware package?
i have regular version

Try go to servicemenu. Somewhere in there there's a choice to restore/rebuild NV_Data. Don't know if it works, but it might be worth a try

I don't have stock rom now so I can't guide you through the whole menu, but lets get you started..
First open up dialpad and enter *#0011#
A screen with RF status or something will appear.
Now use your menu-key to bring up some uptions and choose "back".
Now I don't remember if that will take you to default servicemenu or if you have to go back one more time using the menu-key once again.
Anyway..I think option to restore NV_Data is somewhere under the debug menu..
You'll have to browse the menus back and fourth, couse I can't remember where it is exactly. I just know it's in there somewhere
when i pushed nv rebuild :
MENU NOT EXIST
PRESS BAC KEY
Current command is 3335
omg i didnt thought that such small drivers update is such a pain in a**
by now i have no more ideas how to bring back my baseband from XXXX to normal
but as i think modem.bin is responsible for that
DAMN!
So whats missing?
Do you have root so you can look for /modemfs & /efs-folder?
thread closed
tys0n RESPECT :good:
worked nv rebuild at 2nd time
phone said - rebuilded, pls restart.
again MEGA thnx
GREAT!
Can you please add [solved] in the title?.

[Q] HELP! Galaxy Tab Boot Loop

Please help! My Galaxy Tab is in a pickle!
My Galaxy Tab is SHW-M180S from South Korea, and it is rooted via a Custom Rom ( http://jctool.tistory.com/m/post/view/id/133 ) by using these instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2057050
It's been 2 weeks since I rooted it and then just yesterday, it suddenly Crashed (which happens at least once a day) so I rebooted it, but instead of normally going into my lock screen, it just loops. It's been 3 hours of this madness.
So, in desperation, I entered the Stock System Recovery (I do not have CWM installed), wiped the data and cache and rebooted. Now, it doesn't loop, but it's stuck on the SKT Logo (My carrier). Just there. This is where I am now.
From here, I can still enter the System Recovery and Download Mode. It still charges etc. Odin can read it.
Please help, I don't know what to do!
Anyone?!

Unfortunately, I don't. And I might sound like a noob, because I am, but I don't know how to download the stock ROM from the samsung site you gave me. All I can open is the PDF in Korean. But I got the Kernel.
After that, my next "big" problem will be what do I do with this ROM and Kernel? Sorry, I really am just a total noob and I don't know much of Odin, Flashing etc. So please help me. Thanks in advance.

What do I do? I flashed Kernel via Odin, but it's still stuck on bootloop. I still haven't used the ROM from Samsung yet because I don't know how to use it. Odin (via PDA) can't see it. It's a ZIP file, not a TAR or MD5 file. If I unzip it, all that comes out are a bunch of files. Please help.

very vague question so difficult to provide you with an answer
how ever
have a read through the forums and you will learn about what those are and how to flash them and how they work together
Sorry, just a newbie here, but thanks for your reply.
Can I ask you where I could get this stock rom? I am planning on getting CM11 but I wanted to have a contingency plan first.

You can get original stock ROMs from : sammobile.com/firmware
Type on dailer *#1234# to see your current AP, CSC and MODEM version. Notice or note your AP,CSC and MODEM version (you need it if you want your original firmware back)
If you want your original stock ROM back then go to http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/2/ type your noticed version in the fields (PDA, CSC, MODEM) and download it. done!
Check Screenshot!
Note : you need a SamMobile account for downloading firmwares
Thanks! One more question, I have read that the kernel also changes when I flash CM11, if I would like to revert to Stock do which file is the kernel? Is it the PDA, CSC or Modem? I'm now downloading my stock rom from sammobile thanks to you!

In PDA
if you install a custom recovery example TWRP or CWM then you're able to backup your current Stock ROM and safe it on your PC, laptop or external SD card till you want it back . If you want your Stock ROM back then you can simple restore it via custom recovery
Note : a backup of the Stock ROM take very often more than 2GB!
Good luck with flashing
Thanks! Does installing cwm requires rooting?

Stuck at Samsung Boot image. PLZZZ help. Will "DONATE" to whom ever that can help
Hi guys,
Please help me fix my Note 5!!!
Quick background story:
Bought it on ebay "As Is". Guy said it got stuck while using Samsungs smart switch software. Phone still has intact Knox ("0") so warranty is intact.
But I dont want to take the warranty exchange route yet. It is on 6.0.1 PD2 or PH2 (i forget, I am at work at the momemnt) because thats what smart switch says
that it is going to restore.
Things I have done: (Used multiple cables, using Win10)
- Tried Emergency restore via Smart Switch. -- No success. It says something like cant restore.
- Used Odin 3.7 & 3.12.6 to flash stock PD2 or PH2 firmware. Odin flashes the rom now (it wasnt earlier) and when the phone reboots it stays at "Samsung Logo" and
doesnt move on.
- Cant get to recovery. It just does nothing when holding the buttons.
- I can only get to Download screen.
So, I dont know what to do now. I was able to get my previous note 5 working by using odin but this one is just stuck.
I would really appreciate all the help.
Thanks.

Hi,
So I tried going to the link and unfortunately it did not work . The software to repack the (boot.img, recovery.img, system.img) does not work for some reason. Tried using 7zip, but I cant find a way to combine the 3 img files into .tar files. What am I missing here?
Spent another 3 hours after work today fiddling with this . The wife is def not happy.
Any other suggestions?
Plzzz help a guy out.
You can try to install TWRP recovery by odin. Boot into download mode then connect your phone to the computer. Once done you will need to download some files which will install the recovery by odin. Next hold the volume up, power, and home button until twrp recovery comes up then connect the storage to your pc and install a custom rom and hopefully this might fix it. This will void warranty so do this at your own risk.
