If you don't have a backup of your original EFS folder you are pretty much screwed
I hope you find a way around, tho.-

eri version unavailable is normal.
It is not efs issue. or any issue at all.
Try to explain your problem.

Enhanced Roaming Indicator is showed only when your carrier use it. If not, there will be 'not available' information and you shouldn't worry about that.

Nope, not here. No-one wants to give up their own, UNIQUE IMEI number...
This isn't because we are mongrels, just that we aren't stupid....

Agree with you ! No-one will give you their EFS backup (containing the must important information about their galaxy S3).
Foolish guy is foolish....
If you really want someone's IMEI number than you should be permanently banned from this forum. IMEI clonning is illegal and stupid because both phones will be inoperative if thay will have the same identification numbers.
You said your IMEI is ok and you have problems with ERI. We have told you that this isn't an error. Don't push up.

REPEAT it is against the rules of XDA to post such questions .
It is also illegal to clone an IMEI .

omg remove nv_data files from backup to prevent imei clone...read before type
I don't know what the dude who begun this thread is or was up to but I do know that I have lost my EFS backup and as such have a GS3 I9300 which isn't working to fix.
I have searched at length and have come to know the IMEI and serial of the phone can be edited with a HEX Editor out of the nv_data.bin file and this information is on block 0188150 a-f and 0188160 0-4. I have tried it but since my nv_data.bin which I generated was corrupted in the first place, it made little or no difference.
If that truly is possible, why not edit those bits out and then share leaving pointers on how to get it personalized per the benefactor's phone.
Inasmuch as it's "risky" because no one is to be trusted, you should acknowledge the fact that, it is because we're searching for answers and solutions to questions and problems we're having, and discoveries we've made with our handsets, that is why we are here in the first place.
I believe there is ALWAYS a way to go about things differently. Let's help one another!
So who is gonna help poor me? Please ...
Dude, if we give you our efs backup/s, you'd have OUR IMEI numbers, OUR SERIAL numbers.
That's illegal, first thing.
Second of all, that means you have our warranty, so if you send your device in, and you don't have warranty anymore - we don't either..
So, basically: Big T for tuff...
It's your own fault, for not creating a proper backup, live with the consequences..

hi,
s3 with a generic imei no. 004999010640000. its showing no service.
upon researching here, i found either the phone could be blocked (due to reported stolen) or messed up due to rom flashing.
whats the way forward ? can it still be useable ?
no efs folder backup is there.
your help in the matter would be highly appreciated.
many thanks and regards

Without a /efs backup you can't restore the IMEI.
First thing is report it to local police to cover yourself, then if you have the original box and proof of purchase go to Samsung and explain what has happened ie. You lost your imei, and they can restore it, if the phone isn't stolen that is.
If you bought this phone in good faith, then also take steps to resolve it with eBay or however you bought it.
If however it was a cheap deal of a dodgy mate.....well you live and learn.
Edit:
Woopsie! Was thinking out loud! Luckily nobody heard me but you

Have a look here for EFS-BackUp Pro => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1308546
You should have created a backup of your EFS partition before flashing or deleting anything.
Remember it for the next time ... first create a backup !

I could be mistaken but I think a nice,helpful chap on here(Mistahbungle) knows a guy that can possibly fix your efs problem.
Maybe he'll read this and advise.

I am a newbie, although I rooted my phone months ago. I will be upgrading to Ice Cream Sandwich soon and am looking for the best, easiest, and safest way to do it. Most of all, I'm soooo glad and thankful you shared this important information on how to back up my efs folder.
Thank you so much for the information. By the way, this is my first real post here although I've relied heavily on this forum for information and advice.
I love this forum!:good:

As per rule one restore your backed up EFS folder .

Fails to restore return to a service centre don't bother reading the ten million identical posts .

We are so manny that have tried alot here, but our SGS3 have turned into a PDA and no use Tried earliere to create a guide or get one that worked after installing a MG4 ROM, but did not have any success and my phone still have the genetric IMEI, everybody says restore your EFS backup BUT I don't have any of those.
Know here is a solution for it, but have not foundt it yet, alot of people are crying ablout this that our fones are useless.
Moderators says stop posting and read 1000's of other post that have the same problem, but when I don't have found any or nobody have PM'ed me with a solution, then I ask before everybody is post about the same problem.
Can anyone make a stiky post with some ways to restore lost IMEI or guide us true a restore of a rom that reads our IMEI correct again?

Step 1) restore efs backup
Step 2) try reflash original rom
Step 3) if you were ever on mg4, ensure you stick with mg4 baseband
Step 4) send for repair
There's your guide.

You were not alone my friend. I had same issue and same levels of frustration for days.
You could have seen my thread but it was sgy specific.
"Solution": Use odin flash stock rom firmware with "Clear EFS".and "Repartition" checked.
The above was only solution that worked for me. I recovered imei.
Once restored I took backup of EFS using galaxytoolbox app on playstore and copied those img files to pc for future emergency.

You can't find a solution to EFS corruption when not having a backup, because there isn't one! If the three suggestions by RootSU don't work then no amount of crying is going to fix your phone, send it for repair.
All the guides and stickies have good advise on what to do before you customise your phone -backup your efs folder keep it safe.

Its already proven that stickies are of no use as all the stickies saying backup your EFS are ignored in the first place .

Don't take this the wrong way, but I think i9300 users should only take advice from other i9300 users, when we're talking about things like efs which differs considerably between Samsung models.

I suppose if you are desperate and going to need a paid for repair then any trick posted will be tried .
But a significant proportion of bricked phone are due to advice not for that phone .
In some cases an IMEI repair may be done under warranty but the more you mess about the greater the risk of having to pay for a repair .

Alright so here is the question
I have a S2 EFS Backup. and i have a S3 device
Now i dont have EFS backup of S3 and it is corrupted.
Can i use S2's EFS backup on S3?
I know its a weird question but is it possible?

No... You cant... Because of 2 reasons...
1. Changing EFS will change the IMEI which is ILLEGAL.
2. The EFS backup of s2 will work only on s2 and not on s3.
BUT
If you have corrupted files of EFS from s3, there are some developers who might be able to help you to recover...
could you guide me who those devs are?
I have corrupted EFS and i do not have the genuine backup

NOWHERE in this thread is serial number mentioned. Please read threads before posting "solutions". Posts like this can make people end up in a situation where they cannot fix their device.
