Hi,
Is there any tutorial to restore jacked up EFS partition?
I know AutoPrime has one for CDMA (here's the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2161498), but I'm trying to find out if there's a tool to edit the efs partition for GSM.
I don't have signal so I need help.
P.S.
I have not backed up my EFS partition.
Have you ran free gee lately or installed any cm builds? If so your efs might be backed up.

I have a backup but it was using the built-in Backup/Restore app of the LGOG. Also I got back-up using Titanium backup but i dunno if where can I find there the efs partition file (probably it only backed-up app+data? I dunno if it's system data which include the efs partition). I installed freegee but it's already too late, I already lost network connection before I installed it.

If you never unlocked then how'd you end up messing it up? Efs is a partition not something that can be backed up with titanium backup. You sure it isn't a Sim issue?

By flashing wrong baseband I guess.

I unlocked my phone with LGNPST and installed cm11 (nightlies)
can you kindly tell me where the efs partitions might be backed up??? I am also on same issue but I resolved it by flashing some other baseband+efs(found on net) but if there is possibility of backup I would love to have my original IMEI

I have rooted with paranoid android 2.57 utacka, and when ever I take a backup of my apps in titanium backup..... Nothing will be shown in restore menu..... So my first rooting went tragic..... I need help... So that next time I change my rom, all my backup are restored.

can you attach screenshot of backup/Restore page of titanium backup?
and have you check size of titanium backup folder?
Sir I also had taken a backup from Cwm recovery mode however as soon as I went to paranoid the restoration process showed no files present there.

You don't have any backup on device
Have you wiped device?
I think you have lost all backup when you have factory reset
It is advisable to make backup storage on ext sd card

Go to preference and then go backup location. Then click on detect and search whole device. Once located just Click on it and it will show up on the restore menu.. If you backed up on your external memory or internal memory without formatting it during the installation then it should be there.

dude set the backed up folder manually :cyclops:
This time I have manually backed up. I flashed new rom.... And all my apps are back as before.... Thank you

I usually use cwm rec but I flashed twrp recovery, I wanted to verify its correct or ok to check mark every option before starting first back up?
There is options to check efs backup cache modem boot and md5
I just choose to include all in the backup is this the correct thing to do, im use to cwm where that doesn't give u all these option's

You will have to use the NV Backup tool to backup your IMEI (and I think efs?).

Is this option going to relock my boot loader? I'm on my stock ROM (not a custom stock ROM, the ROM straight from LG). I can't get LGNPST to connect to my computer (running windows 8). My phone randomly loses internet connection (started when I flashed a 4.4 ROM) even though it says I have full bars on LTE. Tried restoring my EFS from before I began flashing, however that didn't work.

I meant I can't get it to connect to my phone (I would've edited my post but the xda app is acting up)

Also, I saw that one of the FAQ (according to shellnut on his post about releasing freegee for the OGPro) was how to uninstall this. He answered "restore with backups" so...I'm assuming that means as long as I'm on the LG factory ROM and use the restore with backups, I'll be relocked and won't run into the LG Security error like I would on a custom ROM.
**EDIT**
from what I understand, restoring with backups will relock the boot loader without wiping the ROM (which is why restoring with backups gives you the security error when doing it on a custom ROM) so...I'll be fine with doing it on the LG stock ROM. Right? I know I'm kind of answering my own questions but it helps to hear it from someone else. I'm currently waiting on a reply from shellnutt.

I think I gave an answer in another thread about FreeGee and how it works.
When you use FreeGee it doesn't just backup your EFS it backs up the boot and two other parts. FreeGee is a dumb app meaning that it always assumes you are restoring to the same ROM. So if you are on ZVB and run FreeGee then move to ZVC and do a restore it can crash your phone. If all you want is to restore your EFS then hit this link for details. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=38348745&postcount=1

I'm on zvc and was on zvc before unlocking so it backed up my zvc boot stuff. I restored my efs already that's fine. I'm just trying to relock the bootloader and just stay on LGs Stock ROM.

I have no idea nor have I heard of it and no-one here or anywhere can tell you it will. If you want wait for a better answer or until I can look it up.
Look in here for more info but it doesn't cover unrooting/re-locking http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2050582
I will tell you that there is a chance of an unbootable phone if you have removed any bloatware and then re-lock the phone.
If you want to be safe then just LGPNST back to stock. You'll have to reinstall everything but that is always the safest.
Yeah I removed bloatware but I don't remember which ones I did besides the file manager.
Never mind, I have them all still. Only one I didn't have was File Manager but that was reinstalled with the Application Manager.
Trust me, if I could LGNPST I would, but for some reason it won't recognize my phone. I need the windows 8 drivers I think but even then, I was told theres some weird process you have to go through in order to get it to work on windows 8

I've read that you only get the security error when you uninstall one of the GApps. Is that true or is it with all preinstalled apps?

More questions? lol LG apps will do it too. If you don't unlock your bootloader, you'll become really good friends with LGNPST, if you uninstall an app LG wants. Sucks I know, but unlocking isn't that bad. The safest way to unlock? Just LGNPST teeny bins. I haven't heard of any issues with it. But s#*t happens.
I want to LGNPST but alas, LGNPST hates my phone. I checked compared to my moms LGOG, I'm not missing any apps so I should be good with the freegee relock I guess. I hope so.

Hi i recently formatted my sdcard and flashed a rom. Everything was good for a little and then i had to restore a backup of a rom i had a few days before i formatted my card. I did that and then my phone work up from the boot and it didnt have a signal or carrier and the baseband and IMEI is unknown right now. i havent made baseband or any IMEI backups yet for this phone and i know the IMEI is under the battery i just dont remember how to inject it into the phones partition. Can someone help me with the steps to restore my IMEI?
All you should have to do is reflash the modem/radio. Wipe cache and dalvik partitions afterwards then reboot. Worked for me before might work for you as well.

I don't know what recovery you are using, but I would say try CWM. I was having those same problems. Sometimes it would work, sometimes they would be unknown. I switched to CWM and it's all good...
I can't restore EFS in Freegee. So my question is :
When doing a Backup EFS on Freegee, where do the files reside in order to restore the backup? and what are the files called.
Sent from my LG-E980 using xda app-developers app
it should have been saved on your internal memory under EFS Backup. From there you should have copied it somewhere safe.
