Hey xda
We have an older GT-N8000 that I have royaly screwed up last year and I'd like to repair it.
It's running cm12 I think, problem is it's running the wrong region firmware and doest show the Imei or info anymore.
I also can't use the 3g anymore after i flashed aroma something or other.
I have the imei from on the back but I don't know how to restore all of it. It's rooted with custom recovery and the region code is 05. The wording on the back is in Spanish and I'm almost sure it is South American.
Could someone point me to how I go about restoring this tablet to stock?
IMEI restore your backed up EFS folder .
Stock roms are on the forum and samsung-updates or sammobile.com
IMEI fails just read the thousands of EFS/ IMEI posts see if you can fix or take to a service centre .

Thank you for the reply.
I do not have my efs backed up anymore.. I dont have the shipped rom on it either . Imei is wrong in settings about (i think?), but it is on the back of the tablet. Now no 3g.
3g was working great when i got it, as well as everything else.
Ive been looking for a specific emmc/efs thread within xda but i couldnt find the one i was looking for. I found the thread i am referring to last year or the year before, and i got all the way to where you create and put file inside efs, but it didnt work, i cant recall why.
I would like to first find out which country this came from. I bought it off ebay and the seller stated it was south america or latin america. Ive downloaded 4.0.4/3 firmwares from this from Sammobile, if i recall, the German one could be used?
Could anyone point me to which country this came from?
And point me to a reputable thread for this specific device?

Hey guys,
I was running a stock 4.0.4 GSM, IMM76D and wanted to try out some new ROMs. I did a nandroid backup beforehand and tried flashing Pixel ROM & Slim ICS. I wiped data, cache, dalvik, system, etc. then tried the new ROMs. Something went wrong and I applied the nandroid backup from ClockworkMod.
After the backup, I seem to have lost all network signals. This is what I have:

My Baseband version is "unknown"
I've read a good deal of topics with related problems, but failed to find a solution for my situation. My last resort is flashing the stock 4.0.4 again, but I'd really appreciate it if anyone could help.
seems to me that your efs folder got corrupted and u lost your imei. Did u made a backup of it before starting the flashing spree?
If not, i have bad news for you, you may have to end up sending your Nexus for repair.
If you can't restore your Nexus with factory images as described in the other thread where you posted this morning, take a look here:

Thanks for the replies, guys!
ezio84, I tried EFS Pro. This is what I got:
It says everything should be fine, but still: http://i.imgur.com/oLw1f.png ..no signal. I pressed "Repair NV Data" button and hoped that it might help me. I didn't find any additional instructions on how to use the program in the original thread you linked me to, so I assume this might not be the right way to approach this problem.
I'll try your advice in the other thread on flashing the factory image, after installing the new usb driver.
Again, thank you for your replies!
I did it! I have the network signal again.
I updated the SDK package (which doesn't have anything to do with the solution, but still), and then I flashed a new radio from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1116884 (KB1 did the job for me)
Pretty simple, but I had to read through something like 20 threads, +500 comments to get to the right answer.
Again, guys, thank you for your help!
Good! Happy for you ;D

What's your phone model? Not Nexus? The radio you mentioned was not for Nexus. Is it OK for Nexus? My Nexus lost baseband and IMEI too. I have not found out how this happened. Maybe nandroid as you said. I used cmw recovery made a backup too... And then, no network signal

Your phone is most likely fine, you just don't have the patience to fix it yourself.

Hello,
I'm in a pickle (I think) concerning my MEID and IMEISV, they're both equaling zero.
My other thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2517621
There's a program out there called "Samsung MEID Repair.exe"
A link to it is located at: adbtoolkit [dot] com. The link to the page it's on is: [[[[http]]]] ://adbtoolkit [[[[dot]]]] com/misc/device/samsung/galaxys3/sch-i535/#.UnyEufk_smk
(sorry, I couldn't post an outside link)
Google couldn't find much about the tool.
Has anybody used it before, or know how it works?
Thanks,
Adrian
If you didn't backup then you don't have anything to loose.

the exe is a windows executiable file i havent used windows in quite some time being a chromebook and mac owner
I'm not sure if I would run that exe. There was a topic somewhere here that can help you recover your imei. Can't locate it atm but I know it exists

I have used that particular exe file. Works like a charm. Some quick notes about it
1) you must downgrade the modem/radio on your phone to LG7 or older. K1 is the one I used, but the older, the better
2) if your ERI on your phone reads 0 you will need to use the eri repair button in the lower right hand side of the windows application.
3) when you use the eri repair it will ask you to reboot. DO NOT REBOOT until both eri and imei is fixed.
Also there is an in depth walk through by a dude on RootzWiki but I don't have the link. Its on my home computer. There's a couple of other walkthroughs out there. Just Google search Samsung GS3 IMEI repair tool

Hi Guys,
I'm a new poster but long time reader.
I hope someone can assist; I have been trying for a good few hours to allow my S4 (GT-I9505) to accept any Sim card.
Currently, when it's turned on it will give the message:
SIM Unlock Network PIN
You get the following options:
<Unlock>
<Dismiss>
It's a UK Phone originally from the EE network.
The Phone used to have a stock EE Firmware version 4.4.2 (I9505XXUGNI2) I have since flashed this to the THREE network's 4.4.2 firmware (I9505XXUGNJ3) but unfortunately this didn't unlock it.
I have also tried a few Custom Roms and have rooted the device but don't really know where to go from here.
I have seen a few people mentioning that it can be done using *#0011# and a few other key codes but these don't work either.
When I try to get to the service menu (Hit Back then key input 1 then Back again) it does nothing.
Can anyone suggest what my next step would be? I'm more than happy to root or flash Roms or what ever it takes to get it unlocked.
I've searched the forums high and low but can't seem to find anything that relates to my situation.
Thanks,
S.
Uh, the EU legally forbid SIMlocks in 2003. There shouldn't be a SIMlock. That's very odd.
This really should be in the relevant thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2282683

Many thanks for the reply.
I'm not sure if it is a SIM lock. More like a network lock. When the phone is turned on with a Non-EE SIM inserted, this message comes up:

The post you linked me to doesnt seem to work - I have tried the menu options many times but I think the service menu's must have been removed from 4.4.2 or I am doing something wrong.
Is there a way to simply unlock the phone so it will accept a SIM card from any Network?
Thanks again,
S
Changing ROMs won't do anything. Carrier locking is contained in a different part of the phone's firmware.
Contact EE and tell them you need an unlock code.

Could anyone upload it to cloud or a similar place so we can download it?
or do you have a working link?
