imei problem
Solution :
Flash MG4 modem (Find the file on the internet , download and extract to md5 file, flash with odin and you are fine) or did you back up your efs folder if yes restore it
simple as that

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.

If your device cannot turn on and you have flashed a PIT file then you need a service repair or new motherboard .
if you cannot turn on your phone,you can try to flash a stock rom in download mode,
if more worse,such as pc no respond in download mode or cannot turn phone into download mode,you may need a physical repair.
Thread closed, please read and/or post IMEI or EFS related material in the dedicated FAQ thread for this.

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

i9300 with 0049 IMEI

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
