Backing up someone elses folder will only give you their IMEI. by doing so you will void the imei as it cant be on 2 devices. Not to mention no one is gonna give you access to their IMEI number. My suggestion would be to start over from scratch.
Try GSII Repair by helroz. If that doesn't work you will need a professional restore. Mobiletechvideos can do it for a small fee.

Have you tried flashing a stock rom?

Questions go in the QA section, not general
I know as you need one phone service box ( spt box, octabus box, z3x box etc ) for re build nv_data.

[Q] EFS Partition Modified

Sp, here I am. I updated to MG5 and my modem got modified. No other modem works and I know it why. The question is, Can I restore my efs if I use a backup of my friend's efs? Will that cause any damage to my phone?
From what I learned about efs from another topic pertaining to lg optimus g ( I'm sure its the same for all devices ). The efs stores your imei number and such. But other users may correct me if I'm wrong. So using your friends efs wouldn't help at all. I'm a noob to all of this still.

Edit: gotta love autocorrect.

efs does store our imei details. Pre MG4 modems had a different efs format. The format was kinda updated by samsung on MG4 and MG5 roms. I have no signals on any 4.2.2 roms either. However, an older backup may restore the previous format, no matter if the backup was made on someone else's device. Right?
I honestly couldn't tell you bub. I don't want to say go ahead and do it and then something else messes up.. I would wait for a reply from a much more knowledgeable person. Sorry that I couldn't help.

Your friends efs back up has your friends' imei , which if you use would be modifying your imei , which is kinda unnesessary. If you have your own efs back up just restore it.
sent from the state where Marijuana is NOT illegal !
Just go back to an EMGx modem.
you need an efs backup before installed mg4 or mg5 rom. for now no way to go back old efs format without a backup. and another efs file doesnt work with your phone. efs file contains encrypted imei and something phone information for detecting craking

I can get a backup of the efs from a friends phone (same as mine of course) or any download links would be useful too , just need a way to edit the imei to my own .

Another way is that you can install CSC and modem of your country and place them on the Phone and multi CSC slot on ODIN while restoring stock ROM.

You can't just restore without a backup.
Do what Sniper Killer says.

Bro, you posted this question in the wrong device thread. This is Galaxy Ace S5830i Q/A section and not Xolo Q1000 section. Doing any mod intended for Ace on your device can basically brick your phone. Try to follow the steps user @pranjal18 suggested in the following Xolo Q1000 Query section. I hope it works. Here is the link,
Xolo Q1000 General Queries & Help Support (Root, CWM Recovery, Custom ROM,etc.)

[Q] Update problem

Hi there. Today I updated my i9300 from 4.1.2 to 4.3 via odin. I don't know why but I have a known "no register data" problem. And my IMEI DIDN'T CHANGE. In the settings there is a signal strenght -87dBm 13asu. So, what can I do? I want to call my mom..
PS: I checked, my SIM card works, in my other phone.

Questions go in the q&a forum, report your own post and ask a moderator to move it.
Your handset was probably unlocked using the old patch system, or patched for serial number corrupt. None of those patches work with the latest firmware.
If you try to downgrade you will probably lose imei as well, as your efs folder was changed during the update.
If you followed the xda guides you should have backed up your efs folder before you flashed, without a backup you are stuck.
Try reading the sticky thread efs 'know this stuff' for more information.
