Even i'm waiting for note 3 imei repair. I messed up my note 3. Now imei is unknown. I bought z3x tried efs repair by selecting i747 but i think android 4.3 is different.

I think those are some of the steps that you will need but not all. I'm also looking for a solution.

Any get this working? I was thinking of picking up a note 3... And am always like flashing roms. Imei repair should be figured out now that I hone has been out for a few months.

Its more than a simple IMEI repair and a modem patch etc ... Method will not be released for many reasons .... Hopefully the creators from Nspro,z3x,Ocotpus box release something for it .. until it wont be released ....

we need an update from NSPRO or Z3X soon.
someone crack this already

jusmejose,

I've read a lot of your posts on this and other forums and I admire your altruism... but could you please give some more details about why you won't say how to write it; is it an exploit of android's handling of the nvdata partition? If so that would be quite a find, and I would understand why nobody would be willing to share that.

I feel like Alice in Wonderland after everything I've read on this topic, from QC chips in Blackberrys years ago, to the modern method mostly used for changing CDMA networks.

To anyone interested, here are some tidbits of what I've stumbled upon: ｐａｓｔｅｂｉｎ．ｃｏｍ／ｊｅｗＴｄｄｎｃ

There is countless more info that I've read, but those were the most on point I would say... good luck going down that rabbit hole, or black hole I should say, as it's fun to learn about, but your time will get sucked in.

P.S. I'm "researching" this for an n900a which the bootloader is locked on. It makes experimenting with the AT commands a tiny bit more difficult... I hope that either Knox is exploited, or that Samsung is so proud of Knox that they throw consumers a bone by undermining AT&T and releasing the key... both of which are unlikely anytime soon.

P.S.S. I very much respect the NSPRO team, so if there is anything in this post that is not acceptable, please snip it out.

If you root, upgrade SuperSU, that will take care of KNOX and that gets disabled in the process. It probably has to do with how the efs nv stuff (not a programming genius as you can probably tell) is written on the chip.

Octoplus only supports sm-n900W8 and sm-N900 NOT the TMOBILE ONE AS OF YET

JTAG repair thats all... for many reasons it hasent been release for public etc ... Thats why only certain people are able to do it ( I guess for the files etc)... at this point only that i know probably 8-10 people are able to do it in the United States ...

We are talking about IMEI repair ...

jusmejose you mean that you jtag note 3 for imei repair?

evilgabbie · 02-28-2014, 07:37

Playing with the NV gave me some insight. We can easily change the IMEI bit on the N900x series... but since some of the NV bits are protected we cannot write the IMEI entirely. The N900x series performs some type of verification or check and compares IMEI, if there is a mismatch, the IMEI CERT Fails thus you cannot connect onto the network although the IMEI has been "repaired".

Key in my opinion is to bypass the protected NV items and pretty much "copy and paste" a "good" nv onto the device. This "MAY" be done via Jtag.
