Hello.
I have Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 LTE (N8020). My device battery goes to 0%. I turned on device and I have charged battery.
I noticed that there is 'no service'... I checked IMEI and there is 'null / null' :/
I performed full wipe, flashed with boot+pda+modem+csc - no change.
Now I have XXBLL2 pda with root, imei on paper and 'no service'.
What I supposed to do?
Please help..
Regards.
Hope you did not flash any custom rom check the count if it is zero take it to a service center get it replaced
Run Triangle Away to reset rom counter .
Flash stock firmware and then factory reset to clear reset status from modified .
Otherwise its a no warranty job if Samsung spot its been customized or rooted .

Mate, instead of using the recovery above and as your tablet will still be in warranty, TAKE IT BACK as long as you have restored stock.... You could go through these steps and still find you have no IMEI, need to take it back anyway. Why screw around with it more and chance Samsung charging you for replacement parts?

no... in my EFS folder is... nothing :/ folder is blank.
I can do what I want with this tablet and still it can be repaired in the service, but it want to do it myself (before xmas).
I can flash / root etc. Simple question, it is possible? Can I for example take EFS folder from another tablet, and change IMEI or something like that?

No .
But their are illegal methods of changing the IMEI i believe .
Discussion of such is banned on XDA .

ah, I did't know. ok, so... xmas with 'no signal', and then I will take it to my samsung friends
Thanks all for help
Sounds like your EFS stuff has been fux0red somewhere along the. I'm thinking maybe there was some custom ROM flashing going on in its recent past? I've come so very close that 'oh what's the worst that could happen' moment myself mostly due to feeling like I'm the only person on the planet that has a lte vetsion of this device. N8020 just doesn't seem to have any development dome yet... anyway back on point...
Unless you have a back up of the efs partition its not something you can flash away and so will need warranty repairs or replacement by Samsung. You could try for DOA with the provider you 4ot through if its inside the timeframe, its either 14 days or 45 from memory but that's something that could backfire if you get a tech savvy sales person and the bust you. The first few posts are talking about making sure if you send it straight to Samsung that they don't bust you by the inbuilt flash counter. If they find its been flashed or the counter is >1 they will NOT cover it under warranty and you will be up for costs to repair. Can get a little expensive so best to be 100% this is sorted before submission. Ignore the poster above (mags69).. they must have not read the posts in full and are basically sending you to the wolves...
Search efs from I9100, I9000. Any of the note handsets 7xxx or whatever to learn why its so important to be sure you have that backup before going crazy. Worth a poke around in the file sysytem too IMO.. most,>90% from what I've seen, custom anythings flashed in cmw will do the backup by default. Seen it in folders, zips and nested deep in the sir structure. Like /mnt /sdcard /revo. Or /mnt /sdcard /checkrom/backup and so on.
Sorry for your troubles too mate.. sucks I know but with a calm and steady approach you should be able to come back from this with a lesson learned. Calm and steady and lie your ass off to Samsung
EDIT: maybe try a different modem. Hell its not going to make thing worse at this stage provided you don't hard brick your device somehow but obviously a lte stock modem would be the winner to try. Long, long shot though... worth the time to be sure on the other hand. I bet the efs at a different block address in the rom on these Ltd ones though and so its been overwritten or whatever cause the update has been coded to write at a specific block that's fine on say wifi version but due to the software differences on 3g or lte ones.

ok. I'm Samsung employee so I can repair it in service any time
I have another N8020 with proper imei but I don't want to have 2 devices with the same imei (its possible? I think no )... changing imei is illegal - I know, but I want to change it to original one.
The best thing - I use original PDA very long time... Without any flashing etc (never custom pda), I was a happy user and what? I loose IMEI xD
I take it to service. Too much combination = brick...
Modem can fix nothing it does not touch EFS .
CWM flash does not always backup EFS so don't rely on that read the description .Tools are available to back up EFS folder .
Occasionally flashing a stock rom/ factory reset may repair EFS but not if no EFS folder .
XDA forum member ODIA has the most knowledge on this subject .
jje
EFS folder exist, but is empty. You mean that flashing dont create EFS folder? or that not every pda?
Flashing does not create EFS folder that's why rule one is backup EFS folder .
neither does CWM recovery backup EFS .
jje
great...
I flashed back to original latest boot/pda/modem/csc and...
*#1234#: modem: unknown...
in About Phone: Baseband: Unknown

Ah I see... well seems like there's one Samsung employee that needs to be asking the hard questions of his bosses.. haha could you imagine "boss my phone is fux0red for no good reason... fix it or I go public with what I know" hahahaha
That's a little disconcerting to know its bugged out without any flashing.. anyway back to the problem.. couldn't be as simple as getting the IMEI off the box or an invoice or even from your cellular provider from their records and just use whatever to restore it. It cannot be an illegal act to restore it the crime would be in changing it and therefore committing fraud over wire/telephony or whatever its called.. from my understanding its not the changing the number itself thats the criminal act but registering the fake IMEI on the network and using data or calling or texting is when you actually commit the chargeable offence. Same IMEI as original means no fraud or misrepresentation has taken place so no offence committed. You need that tech guru booth that sells cases but secretly the salesman has the mad skilz. They could do it no doubt at all. Hmm I remember a thread in the sgs2 boards about rebuilding the efs but from memory it was phone specific due to the address and the manual way you write the info.. sorry buddy outside my skillset so in terms of actually helping you get the right address to write to and what to write I'm no good to you. You need to find a guru in the sgs2/3 or similar that willing to help with this.

there is a thread on the S2 forums on recovering from an EFS fubar.
Hi, I'm at a road block here... I've googled just about everything you can think of, tried just about everything you can think of, nothing is working. : /
I have a Samsung galaxy S2 ( SGH-i757m, bell version ) that I have rooted, I have installed a custom rom( DexRom 3.0 ).
Issue is, I go into settings>about>status, I look down at IMEI section & for my IMEI number, I have " 0 " ( IMEI SV : 02 ), I've tried restoring the EFS folder, tried using HCtool ( says my phone isn't compatible ) I've also flashed another rom, even stock, nothing's working. It's frustrating because this phone doesn't have the typical nv_data.bin file or what ever people say to edit. Currently I am backing up the device with Qualcomm NV Tools, I've tried to hit the button " Write IMEI " ( and yes, I am using a legal, unique IMEI, the one that's on the back of the device under the battery ) & it acts like it did it okay, but then I go check the device.. Still the same thing, IMEI:0 IMEI SV: 02. I've done a reboot, even let it sit for a couple hours. I also tried using a USB UART device ( I used my teensy 2 - arduino basically ) to help aid my issues, nada. But then here's the weird thing, I can still text... If someone could PM me & detail what the issue is, or how the thing is laid out ( as in, what file(s) contain IMEI info ) anything would be appreciated! thanks.
Has anyone been able to solve this problem? I am having the same issue with my phone (SGH-I757M, Bell). The IMEI was there yesterday and now the phone only shows 0 for the IMEI and 01 for IMEI SV (which should be 02). I have yet to try anything to fix the problem (backing up data first).

I haven't been able to fix this issue, but I did manage to be able to use it as a regular cell phone... I called my service provider & explained that my phone has no IMEI number & I can't make calls, but I can text... so what ever they did, fixed it. I can now make calls, receive calls, ect. I gotta find a stable baseband rom tho, some texts just don't send & stuff...
I know that there is a way to fix the IMEI, but you need a 300$ piece of stupid hardware... Z3Xbox, witch isn't really worth 300 $ if you're only going to use it once... I hope someone could reverse engineer the z3xbox & come up with a diy solution, maybe with an arduino board or something...
Anyways, wish you luck!
Edit: I still have no IMEI/SV number, but calling works, so I quit playing with it, made backups of everything & called it a day.

I was able to use all functions of my phone without the IMEI... I managed to get the IMEI back by flashing the stock Android 4.1.2 ROM from sammobile.com
I'm not sure if flashing another version would do the same...

I've tried several roms, oh tho I haven't tried 4.1.2 tho. Could you provide me a link to the firmware that worked for you? I'd love to have this thing working again.
* Update * It seems that rogers now wont allow my phone to connect, I try to connect & it says " Could not connect. Try later " So I have a feeling they black listed it or something... I have my sim in a galaxy infuse & it works fine... So I don't know.
thanks

Sorry for the double post, But could you possibly send me a copy of your whole EFS folder? In like a personal message, I promise I will not use your IMEI. I'd figure out how to put mine into it. thanks in advance.
I am at a loss.... I rooted my phone and it was awesome! So I followed the instructions by lumin on how to flash a custom kernel and rom....didn't work...so with the help of one of the members here, I reverted back to kj6 stock gb with heimdally one-click. rooted the phone with super-one-click....and the phone will not connect to tmobile's network. I restored the original efs backup, which then gave me the correct imei, but I have no signal...wifi calling won't work now, and now I cannot do anything...but receive texts... I tried the method given to me by another member through pm, and it is as follows:
From what I've read, this will delete your IMEI information and replace it with generic info, which will allow you to use the network, but might bar you from high data speeds.
In the dialer, type this exactly: *#*#197328640#*#*
This will put you in factory debug mode. Perform the following steps exactly:
Click 6) Common
Click 6) NV Rebuild
Click 1) NV Rebuild
If there are any more options just continue through them until the phone completes this process (I can't go any further on my phone for fear of changing my currently good IMEI. Then reboot the phone.
I did all this, and it did nothing... I don't know what to do! I've never been more desperate to have a phone because I am away from home and a poor college student...so I'm just really needing some help. I'm at the end of my rope. Please help!:crying:
I really need help! Will SOMEONE help me please?!!!!

Good morning XDA Devolopers,
I have used this site for many a year now but today had to sign up to get some help.
I purchased my SM-920F from Ebay, and low and behold, it had been blocked here in the UK, ever the optimist i looked about online and indeed there are several options online, including some services for remote unlocking, i decided it was worth a shot and ordered it, only from there on it goes from bad to worse.
After the unlock i was constantly greeted with Security Errors and Warning, i contacted the company who unlocked it, and was told to re-flash the rom with the same baseband version, after alot of hunting i found a rom from SAM Mobile and away i went, flashed and all seemed to go well i waited and waited, phone stuck on the boot screen. Galaxy S6, powered by Android...
I returned to the unlocking company asking for advice, only to be called a liar and they would never suggest i reflash the rom or firmware.
So now im stuck with a brick, ive tryed all i can think off and all i can research and i just cant make any progress. I did note after the unlock SuperSU had been installed on my phone (i wasnt made aware the unlock required them to root my phone, they tripped knox in the process).
I have a SM-920F origonally on O2 UK, i have tryed flashing there rom with no joy.
Im desperate to have this phone orking, even if its just for calls, my wife is currently at the hospital with our son whos fighting for his life against cancer, and all i get is abuse from here, i dont get paid till the 1st of the month so a new phone is out of the question at present. The unlocking company i used are tools, and to think iw as mighty impressed at the time.
I do have SOME cash, if theres a pro out there who wants to make a few bucks and can remote connect to me to help me solve this it would be much appreciated, i am just now stuck and desperate and badly need the help of the community.

Please please please someone somewhere must be able to help me out

Turn off your phone, and then turn it on pressing and holding Volume Up, Home, and Power button at the same time until you see a warning. Then press Volume Up to continue, and navigate using volume keys and select wipe cache/factory reset with the Home button, then reboot.
Please note that by doing this all your data will be lost.

Thanks for ya info.
Having installed TWRP i noticed something very intresting, TWRP reports no operating system is installed.
Ive taken a leap of faith and using ODIN am now flashing the Stock 5.1.1 ROM.
Will report back in a few mins.
Okay so TWRP is installed, it reported no operating system.
I reflashed the Stock rom, all went well as expected, phone still refuses to boot.
I have reflashed TWRP and completed a factory reset. Again no dice, still wont boot.
Any further help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

There is a ROM called AllianceROM, I've read that it's on of the best for the G920F.
Okay so as promised.
1. Flash Stock 5.1.1 ROM (Phone will not boot after)
2. Flash TWRP with ODIN
3: Reboot into TWRP and mount filesystem via MPT (i had to disable then enable it for my computer to detect it)
4: Copy ROM to phone (As a ZIP)
5: Using TWRP install ZIP
6: Follow Instructions
7: Dalvik / Cache Clear (it asks after the rom is installed)
8: Reboot
9: Wait
10: Wait Some More
11: TADA
Phone has booted and connected to the network, the AllianceROM suggested above will work in very much the same way! same process.
Thats all i did. After a week of gueswork i want to thank the chap who provide me some guidance both here and via PM
Phone is now running and working, i wish i could have stock rom but you cant have it all.
On a side note if you choose to use IMEI Gurus to unlock your phone, i highly suggest you dont, there after sales support are shocking, and they refunded my money even though its not what i wanted, had the provided the help i found here id not have been so stressy with them. There service does work, but they will root your device (which they dont mention in there sales pitch they will trip knox (again not mentioned) and once done you cant actually factory reset the phone with any method. ANd youll be here reading this.
Yes there services work, but guys please make your own informed decisions about there service, would i buy again from them? i doubt it, but needs must and all that.
THanks everyone
This is now resolved. Please do not continue to post on my thread. Your circumstances will not be the same as mine nore are they likley to resolve issues you have, as mine was caused by a very specific problem. Start your own threads dont hijack mine
Hi guys
recently bought a s6 from ebay which was frozen on S6 logo. Basically managed to clear cache and factory reset from recovery but that didn't work, anyway I DL the O2 firmware and odin and put it into download mode I get a fail on odin when trying to install the rom
The phone has knox 1 and also has red writing SW Rev. Check Fail. Device: 3 Binary: 1.
I'm unsure what to do and if theres any chance for me to recover.
Many thanks
Mav
it failed because you flashed an incompatible Firmware.
where did it stopped flashing in odin? In sboot.bin?
If thats the case, you need to download proper firmware/country for your device.
Let me know what country is ur fone made of.
Hi thanks for your reply.
I managed to get it working by installing root and unikernel, it boots into O2 the firmwarw is 5.1.1
Only problem now is imei is 3500000000006
And it wont make calls dont know if imei is corrupt ir they sold me a stolen or lost phone?
I may install tw recovery and custom rom and see if that works.
Any suggestions?
Hi
Ive managed to sort out and get it to work infact typing on it now. Its currently rooted custom rom and twrp. I e managed also to restore original imei number so overall im quite pleased with myslef lol.
Anyway one last problem i have is ive tried all sims but none work i know ita picking up signal as the bar shows top right. Also chexk my settings.
Ive tried automatically and manually going to register networks but it says unable to connect try again later. I know uts not my area as my wifes s6 works perfectly. Sim also def works. The phone also picks up when a new sim has been inserted so i dont think its sim slot.
Any ideas guys
OK new update if anyone can help I'd really appreciate.
Installed new vador rom Imei reverted back and serial number is all zeros
Is this something to do with baseband if so how can I fix read somewhere about ariza patch but that was s3 4 etc.
Thanks
Mav
1. Your EFS is corrupted. The IMEI you see is a generic one, phone will be useless for network provider only wifi will work.
2. The one thing that caused this is by flashing an old bootloader to your phone. Thats why youve encountered Check Fail error on Download mode.
Happened to me also but got it fixed in the end.
OK thanks for the info how do I fix? I do have my wife's s6 but that's not rooted and don't want to root can I restore the efs
Many thanks
Mav

I think I know one thread that has a firmware downloader with ultra fast download speed you may try searching it.
I dont know if it will help, but you may be able to successfully flash the firmware but many of those who have problems were unable to boot the phone due to corrupted efs data.
Here's my way of fixing it (if you still have intact efs). http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63693480&postcount=28
But if its already wiped, there's no way you can retrieve it unless bringing it to samsung or any repair shop.
Anyways, mine was fixed (IMEI) using Octopus box repair tool. Since I cant do anything to recover my generic imei.

But if its already wiped, there's no way you can retrieve it unless bringing it to samsung or any repair shop.
Anyways, mine was fixed (IMEI) using Octopus box repair tool. Since I cant do anything to recover my generic imei.

As far as i know if your EFS partition is corrupt and you do not have a back up of the EFS partition to restore which you probably dont as you bought this as broken then sim capability is dead, im not sure of any other way to fix this unless you have the intact efs partition
Hi
How can I tell if the efs is corrupt it shows a baseband it now shows the correct ime I
It just won't connect to network it says try again.
I can post a screen print of efs folder on es Explorer if anyone knows what it should look like
Here are screen prints but I think I'm speaking to myself lol
Hi there i spent months on fixing issues like this (i now have a tool that takes care of all this) , best thing you can do is flash to a rom where the original imei came back do a backup of the efs, flash to a orginal rom ( latest rom) make sure its the right one for your device, connect to kies, install the rom again root and restore the efs failing that the imei is blocked use checkmend.com the uk version if your from the uk, message me if you need help

Your rom, recovery and kernel doesnt have to do with corrupted efs.
Only way is to bring it to repair service using box tools to re enter/validate your imei so that you can connect to your network provider. There is no other way around other than retrieving your efs and installing it or thru repair service.
You may now relax yourself at finding ways to connect, I assure it wont help trying to flash and flash and flash stuff to your phone.

Uhm can you send sms or make calls? It seems you have a valid Imei
Ok ive tried all stock roms including o2 and a uk btu one but no luck they all do the same thing get frozen on Samsung logo then I flash unikernel and it boots.
When checking my efs folder I can see no modem file I'm now wondering could that be the fault? so I downloaded modem and BL for 5.02 and 5.11 both will not flash via odin I get a fail message and on device check fail device: 3 binary: 1 messgage in red?????.
So I'm a little lost, I was wondering if I managed to root my wifes s6 which is virtually new could I back up her efs folder then copy it into mine and just amend the imei to my original would that work? also is there a way of rooting my wifes phone without triggering knox?
Any other suggestions guys I really don't know what bootloader was on it to start with or rom is there any way for me to find this out?, also another weird thing when the o2 uk roms install they install german apps?
Thanks guys
Ive repaired EFS Partitions with scripts downloaded from links at xda.
For example i trashed my EFS partition on my note 3 so it caused hard reboots after android booted up and it couldnt be fixed with anything else than the EFS partition repair scripts.
Edit: friend repaired his Note 4 also.
Thanks but where can I find these scripts as I've looked everywhere and if I did find how do I go about doing it. At the moment when I try to flash modem and bootloader it fails.
