The Only thing you can really do is Flash Stock ROM with Full Wipe, Or take it to Samsung for servicing

I cant flash the stock ROM because there isnt any Stock ROM with 4.4 for my phone -.-
Samsung/the repair service wants 250€ for the repair .

Any solutions ? :/

The Note 3 efs partition doesn't contain nv_data. All Note 3 are like that.

You say you upgraded to Kitkat, but the details you listed are of JB.
Did you flash a CM based ROM?

D4rk_nVidia · Feb 26, 2014

It dosent help

My phone wasnt booting so I flashed N9005XXUENA6 4.4.2 KitKat OXX .
Now my phone boots but still the same issue with IMEI.

I think I need an stock rom or? I need 4.4 for XEF (France/Europe)
Or is there any other way? can anyone repair things like that?

Did you try flashing that zip over the NA6 ROM?
That zip has helped out many people. And frankly, I don't think there are many ways of restoring a corrupt EFS partition.

Which files sould be in the efs folder?

Maybe there is one missing which I can add or something when anyone can say how it should look

I found this. It could be a potential solution, but unfortunately, it only works on 4.3.
Though the author says that he will update it soon. So keep an eye out, just incase he updates it before you find another fix.

Yeah but I need the box or?

If you lose IMEI the EFS fire script won't repair it, it'll make it worse. French region devices have had issues as have NEE and HK - Install CWM or TWRP (you lose warranty) then go to wipe and wipe out /system --

Put your phone in download mode, and flash a STOCK ROM NB4 (German DBT) will do and grab a PIT file from one of the threads around here (DBT OTA thread I think has it HSD-Pilot posted it). load up the PIT file and the ROM .md5 - tick re-partition and hit start.. it'll rebuild your EFS - If that doesn't work, you'll need to ADB via terminal and do some trickery to restore your IMEI from your box. There is a tutorial in the forum for it.

Nice, more hope

Should I delete the efs folder before or check efs clear in odin?

Edit:
I flashed the ROM with the PIT file. Re-partition is ticked but *#06# says IMEI NULL/NULL
Where is the adb tutorial. I found a few but they say I need to dial *#7248# or something like that and choose ....... but there isnt somethin like that.
UART > Modem and PDA is only there and Modem isnt tickable

Can anyone help me ?
The XEF Kitkat ROM is out now.

What now?
IMEI is still NULL/NULL
