i not have original back up efs from my phone.
i allready repaired 3 siii with fake imei and s/n 0000000000 with z3x but this cant repaire because have problem cant mount efs.
you didn't backup the folder? send it to service
i9300 have rom 4 file Exclusive of I9300ZSALED؟
I9300ZSALED is 4 file but cant be flashed
what
rom with 4 files (pda,bootloader,modem,csc)
No EFS backup you need a service centre .
Rest of your posts make no sense explain better .
jje
what's your point?
All you can do is restore a backup of youur efs or send it to service anything else is illegal in ky countey and is probably illegal in yours.
What you want to do (fake imei) cannot be discussed on xda. If yiu have corrupted your efs 3 times already I suggest you stop flashing, if you do it right you shouldn't corrupt it.

Hello everyone maybe im not the only here that has same problem
I accidently deleated efs folder but thats does not matter it cant boot into android 4.1-4.3 after that even official firmware but it boots into android 4.0.4 any fix please
No it won't boot, without the efs partition mounted. ICS will cause SDS.
Only cure is to restore a backup of your efs partition, no backup then you need to pay for a repair.

Either your restore process isn't working or the partition is corrupt, you may need to format efs partition before restoring in recovery.

Read the faqs and guides .
EFS Pro and other methods .
i read it 100 times, tried with EFS pro but nothing happend :/ ....can i flash efs.tar via odin???
No, try philz recovery instead. Your phone may have been on such on old firmware for a reason, usually a botched efs repair.

ok tnx, now i flashed ultima rom with mg4 modem, now iget out from factory mod with terminal emulator...how i can restore efs.tar with philz reovery???? where is the option to restore in philz?? i have latest philz??
i put efs_Backup in sdcard1/clockwordmod/backup and when i start to restore efs there is a message "nothing to restore in /storage/sdcard1/clockwordmod/backup/.efs_backup/
Try manually extracting the .tar file on your pc. Copy all the files to the efs folder aims file manager, set permissions then reboot.
im on good way, all what i need to do is restoring efs, but i cant, i tried with coping files and seting perrmision but nothing hapend :/ can you help me trought teamviewer??
You must restore the full package. After this try a hard Reset.
You must delete the old files (not more than need)
i restored efs but nothing happend, downgrade to 4.0.4 offical and restore efs folder again nothing, i send it to repair service and wait for it now
I lost my EFS Folder and IMEI Number while flashing custom ROM.
how to find efs folder
ple. help me
Always take a back up of your imei folder. Try flashing stock rom again. If your imei number is restored then take a back up of it and after flashing custom rom restore
Imei. If it does not get restored you will have to visit official service center .

I've searched on google for solutions as I found the efs file which got corrupted. I've used this thread here trying to solve the issue. This is the thread I used http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=859914 still the imei has not changed. It keeps on showing this IMEI-00499901064**** IMEI SV0*. Is these the what is causing the network not to respond. I have even used google to find solutions but still the imei is not changing. I even installed the modem mg4.tar file through odin and still network won't pickup. I even flashed back to 4.1.2 stock firmware and it didn't fix Imei. The imei was deleted before since it used to restart at the samsung logo then used adb commands to get the efs file remade or so. Now if the network is not picking up is it because of the imei. This is referring to gt-I9300......How can the imei be restored?
had a similar issue yesturday, luckily i took a backup of my efs folder before i started messing around with ROMs
if you dont have a backup its goodnight vienna, you will need to get it serviced

I got the efs files restored but the imei is corrupted. It just keeps on showing IMEI-00499901064**** IMEI SV0* how do I fix the imei, I even used google to search for solutions on how to repair corrupted imei but still the imei is not changing. Is there someone here who knows how to fix corrupted imei which is IMEI-00499901064**** IMEI SV0*. I coul'd send the efs folder and you can see how to solve it and then sent it back to me. If the imei woul'd return to the way it's suppose to be showing.I used this to restore my efs when it was saying it coul'd not mount it.
Restored efs using this guide below which I found on google after searching:
How to fix EFS not mounting :
Download and flash official firmware for your phone
Flash CWM recovery and root your device using recovery method.
Install ADB on your computer.
Boot your device into recovery mode
Connect your device to PC via USB cable
In recovery mode Choose “mount and storage > mount /system”
Open ADB command window and type :
adb shell
su
mke2fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p3
mount -w -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p3
reboot
The thing is the imei won't change how to fix this I have flashe stock roms from 4.0.4, 4.1.2 and 4.3 rom still the imei just doesn't change. How to solve this?
I had a i9300 that was stuck at boot with the "cannot mount efs partition" problem in the recovery.
Since i couldn't backup the efs folder for some reason i went ahead and formatted the efs folder. The phone now boots normally but i have an 0049 IMEI.
There are a lot of posts offering diferent solutions but since this a i9300 Exynos is there any way to write back the IMEI without using fancy box's, UARTS or dongles? Like manually writing the IMEI in the nv_data.bin
Regards.

flash Modem DDEMG2.zip to get your imei. Then flash Patched_XXUGMK6_modem.zip to get mobile network. For download links search it in google

I don't think that works since i formatted the efs and it's now the generic one.
I have no backup of the original and i have a exynos i9300
i searched the forums and it doesn't seem to be a solution since i cannot rewrite the original IMEI
