Thank you for your reply

I havent done anything, I had given it to a mobile shop and they returned me the phone with no imei or baseband, I flashed it with stock firmware using odin.
Before I cant even turn my wifi on, I deleted the efs and now the wifi is working

Please help me

Normally I would guide you on how to fix, but since a phone shop messed it up on you it's not up to you to fix, why should you risk your warranty cause of their mistake?, bring it back and demand they fix it ASAP for free.

If no efs backup is available your pretty much have a brick.. It contains your imei sig.

Not strictly true. Lots of people have no efs back up and can restore easily.

Number 1 - there's a fore script that rebuilds the partition, which the note 3 can do.

Number 2 - Your imei is stored on your box for the device to, with a little bit of adb trickery you can restore it fine.

Yer arse, if the efs is empty then your pretty much ****ed without a backup... That imei number he has is a generic default when the system can't find the original.. Edit: however I've no idea if such a script /program can regenerate the original imei number.. I had the same problem on a galaxy S1, wiped the phone, reflashed a custom rom, bang no imei.. Had a backup of efs and had it working again, phew. Reading about the imei was a nightmare..

There's plenty of threads where people have restored efs and lost IMEI and serial numbers. - things have changed significantly since the S1 days....

amancools there is numerous threads around, search for them. I'm on my phone and searching for links is annoying.


Edit: Here's the efs fix for the benefit of poster who says "yer arse"
