EFS partition is unique for each phone. You'll need to send it back to Samsung to get repaired.

I'm unsure what the official service center does for this (generate data for your phone and flash or replace motherboard) but that's the only legal and safe way to get it fixed. You can try to flash the factory image and see if it helps but I doubt it will. Should've been more careful flashing stuff and made a backup of your EFS after installing recovery.

it is a big mistake that i didnt make a backup of efs folder :crying::crying::crying::crying:
You can't restore the EFS of others
EFS is the only contains the CERT signature
At the same time, I don't think the flash firmware
can solve the problem of IMEI missing
You need to look for maintenance personnel. 〔This refers not to the samsung company. 〕
Through the repair IMEI to solve this problem
If it is illegal to modify the IMEI in your country
Don 't worry, they can match your the original IMEI
But need to pay attention to, match the IMEI this way there will be a defect Again in the future you can't flash contains firmware of BL documents Otherwise you will continue to lose IMEI because this is a temporary solution
I wish you good luck.
In addition, the "lesson" will give a warning: be sure to backup your EFS file! :laugh:

Hi guys, well i managed to somehow ****up my efs folder and it now says no baseband and imei/imeid.
I have searched and searched for but closes thing i was able to find was using nv writer to write my old imei back onto my phone. The problem is when I *#7284# I have no option to choose DM + ADB + <cant remember other option> I only have PDA or MODEM option.

Can you try kTool?
K-tool does not work, which is why Prodigy got me to type a command line in the terminal which backed up my EFS folder manually. Now I have an EFS.IMG This is why i put up the THread Because I knew it was soon someone will be bound to stuff up there EFS.. Which is WHY WE ALL NEED TO BACK UP OUR EFS ASAP before we start modding
But as for recovery its hopeless? Can a box be used to restore the imei? Anyway i can write my imei using nvwriter after somehow solving the problem of not being able to put my phone into diagnostics mode?
Argh! I am going insane, this is looking like a one dear mistake!
I had the exact same problem. Tried MANY things, with no luck. If you got yours from Optus less than 30 days, they will give you a brand new replacement phone .
Try to install a stock rom like 4.0.4... that worked for me on a S1 with the same problem and fixed it!

I have the same issue although it happened to me when I flashed a rom to ROOT my device and I didn't back up the EFS, now it doesn't read the SIM/Network and my Baseband & IMEI are Unknown.
I have tried re-installing the stock firmware etc but still no success...
Anyone have any suggestions?? Or at least how I can update my device status back to normal a pose to 'Modified'.. This was I could maybe submit it through warranty repair.. I have tried to reset my binary count with triangle away (before unrooting) but no success as.. The only thing i've managed to be able to do is unroot my device..
Please help!
Thanks...:fingers-crossed:
if you dont mind about the reading , u can still use your phone flawlessly.. and try the trick "oh im not sure , oh i dont know" and get one replace or u will need jtag i guess.. or maybe ( not sure if it work ) get someone else backup efs and find a way to put your imei in and push it back to your device.. and then repeat same procedure with your original imei ... if u cant remember , take a look at your box.. well..i am just suggesting..not sure if it work...
to get rid of modified , go download sammy official release for your telco or country , flash it with odin but the binary counter remains... good luck to u..

Would a EFS pro backup.img be ok? or do you want the whole uncompressed folder?
EFS Pro img would be fine (i assume) it's a final shot before i ship it off.

I read last night that if you flash the original OTA over your phone it will re write your IMEI number and if Telstra's one is not out just use one from AT&T or Optus etc..
So you can make a back up of your EFS and go from there with re rooting and applying a new baked rom.
Either way if can work or it can not. i see no harm
Anyway here is the EFS taken' just now
you should never share your EFS folder with someone else. Due to the fact each imei is unique.

hi guys
before few days i have accidentally delete my efs backup and after that a flash new rom .. so now my phone have an 00499**** imei no connection to network or anything "serial number is 000000 " i have do a research to this problem and found that there is 2 ways to reset my original imei :
1 - to restore efs from backup that i have delete it
2 - to back the phone to samsung service
so the question is if i got an efs backup file from another phone to my phone and restore its efs backup "What will happen " to my s3 phone and the another s3 phone??????
the week before i have spend 250$ in buying a new motherboard to the phone so i do not want to spend more $ to work it back :|

Hello everyone.
Had a custom rom installed (Yes I know that can be dangerous, but do it allmost everyday) But my problem is that my IMEI changed to 00049 ...... and now I don't have any network.(Nope never used that efs backup)
So I did find a guide to restore my IMEI by deleting the efs folder and copy som date back from from my SD card, but that didn't work, tried to flash another rom and now the internal SDcard i also formatted, så no backup at all
My problem is that in the efs folder somthing is missing the imei folder and now my phone don't connet? What rom do I need to install and hvad tool / guide do I need to follow to restore my network connection.

PS: I think I allmost have done the same thing as this guy http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1862127

Usually when the number changes it is due to the folder just not being read by the rom, flashing a stock rom via odin often resolves this. By wiping the partition you've completely destroyed it, as above you can't now do anything without a backup.
Following the first thing you find can often make things worse, best research fully before flashing anything.
u have flash a MG4 rom ? If so then u MUST use the MG4 modem .. all other modems not working and let u lose IMEI ... its bec of change EFS partion ..its not broken only change other format .... u can read here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2377731

Hi
I decided to try one of the leaked 4.2.2 roms for my Samsung galaxy S3
I made a nandroid backup in CMW recovery before doing so
Flashed the rom and all worked ok but would not connect to my network (EE/Orange UK)
I tried another custom rom same story
Ok so i thought i better recover my nanroid recovery
booted into CMW and it cant mount the SD card
So i used S3 Toolkitv7 to download a stock rom and flash via odim
Again stock rom will not connect to EE/orange
So now im truely stuck

0049990 is a generic IMEI if your efs gets deleted/corrupted..it won't register on the network.

Sent it back to Phones 4 you they had it for nearly 1 month
But got it back fixed and done under warranty
Next job to backup the IMEI
You couldve just flash Mg4 baseband, because your efs partition was changed. Because the latest MG4 baseband does that. Read Efs /IMEI sticky in general section.

I bricked my S3 two weeks ago while using swapper 2 and flashing some roms...
after a while the efs folder couldnt be mounted E: failed to mount efs (invalid argument)
and hanging in a bootloop..
My biggest fault was that I have not a backup of the EFS folder. Only
an complete Backup with CWM. But that couldnt helped me.
After trying a lot of Roms I got my phone with the I9300XXALE9_I9300OJVALE9_TMC and GT-I9300_mx_20120329 pit back to boot
normally. Android Version is 4.0.4
The Problem is that the EFS Folder is completly empty and I havent an
IMEI, so no mobile connections. But Wlan worked at home.
By the way: When i try to restore the cwm backup it will hang in a bootloop again.
Is there any way to restore the IMEI / EFS without an Backup?
I red that some persons could restore it with an other stock rom?
I'm not sure which Stock-Rom (4.1.2 probably but which exactly) I need for my Phone.
I bought it at May/13 in Germany (I'm from germany).

If you follow the restore to stock guides, you may be covered under warranty. Cost of repair is minimal.

I tried it, but this doesn't work for me
Can someone tell me how i can update from 4.0.4 to 4.1.2? Everytime when i try it, i hang in a bootloop after flashing.
It tells me that efs folder is not mounted...
I'm wondering why it works when i flash 4.0.4...

Yes, but i tried the solution via kies and firmware update and initialization, but this didn't work.
I'm not sure which version of 4.1.2 i need... s3 isn't provider locked.

They're all on sammobile.com - Just set the filters correctly and you can download what you like.

Hello again,
sorry i had no internet access the last days.
Everytime when i try to flash a 4.1.2 Rom I'm stucked in a bootloop again :/ I'm pretty sure that I've choosen the correct Firmware.
Do you know what the problem could be?
I've not given up trying to repair my phone
Maybe my issue could be solved when I flash back to FW which was installed before.
The latest firmware is the
PDA: I9300XXEMG4
CSC: I9300DBTEMG3
MODEM: I9300XXEMG4
(Yes i know about the new efs format)
but this isn't working too.
Do you know why why I'm not getting at least a default IMEI? My Imei is always null/null
I've read about NV-items_reader_writer and qpst. Could they help me?
Greetings
Justin

I would recommend sending the device for repair.
