Can't download IMEI gen?

+1 for the IMEI Generator :D
Hey I've been working for the past 36 hours to recover from what appears to be an ERI deletion. After rooting and flashing a CM10.1 rom, I ended up losing 4g and got stuck in roaming, and have been reflashing back to stock with this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2043636 over and over, re-rooting and trying other n7105 compatible ROMs, but no matter what I do I get stuck without CDMA (I can get data and I receive texts but I cannot call out or send texts). I got back to stock + rooted by first using this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2040264 to get to stock and then the above method from Adam to root.

IMEI is intact and matches the number on the back, and all other phone status things seem to be correct except Service state which says out of service. It says I am no longer roaming, am on Verizon, LTE:14, my phone number is correct, etc.

Anyway, I'm running out of options and I was hoping this IMEI gen would help out somehow but I cannot download it: chrome warns me it is malicious but I accept anyway, but it cuts off just a few kb before it completes. When I retry the link I get a connection error to the page. Tried with two PC's, and even used my phone's data conn to DL and then used dropbox to get it to my comp, but after I unzip it's just an empty folder!! What's going on here? I truly feel like the world is against me on this. ANY SUGGESTIONS AT ALL, much appreciated.

Sorry for the lengthy post.

You need to flash all three mk9efs partitions using dd. I don't have those available or I would try to help. If anyone has these partitions available, please post them. I don't think they contain any personal data about the device but the word "efs" throws me off. It appears to contain nothing sensitive. The mk9efs partitions should just link the modem to the device. If anyone has dd copies of these partitons laying around, post them up. This guy needs them.

I have this same issue. Im now using it on tmobile but i would love to get it back working on verizon. If anyone can post these three partitions it would be greatly appriciated.
Adam, how do you pull the mk9efs partitions if someone wants to help but doesn't know how? What block are they on?

Stop your antivirus before you start the download and try again.

I have also added a mirror link for you.

I'm only familiar with efs.

Where and what do you dd for these?

I believe I found the commands but could you please verify Adam? Do these look correct to you?
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4 of=/sdcard/m9kefs1 bs=4096
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5 of=/sdcard/m9kefs2 bs=4096
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p6 of=/sdcard/m9kefs3 bs=4096

I didn't know you needed to back up imei I thought that was the s3 only. And with the s3 you could do it from a terminal doing reboot nvbackup

i flashed my phone with cleanrom 4.0.5 ace, and i have no backup of my original rom or anything seeing how i don't want to go back, how important is it to backup imei or what not? i never lost it on my s3, but i always had a backup of it.

I've got a "certified like new" coming from verizon tomorrow because of this efs BS. i'll pull the files off that, dd them to my original device, and send back the crap they send me, then post for everyone. hope that works.

can someone confirm the above set of commands is correct?
