Unless someone has a fresh backup with nothing on it most people will not share a backup since it contains all their personal data from contacts to Emails to text messages and call history. Just saying it is not something you want to share unless you have a virgin backup.

My phone efs is destoyed, the phone does not power on with official firmware, it powers on but I can only see the battery logo and signal bar and I have no access to setting menu, I want to turn on the usb debug, so then I will be able to repair efs,
is there any way to turn on usb debug with other tricks?

It sounds to me like EFS isn't your issue - You mustn't have done a proper wipe when coming from ICS/JB before going back to GB.
Download CWM, wipe the phone and format /system (I really hope that you have already backed up your EFS. I didn't have an original backup and I'm struggling to restore my factory one. I've been using generic IMEI for I don't know how long and didn't notice until juts the other day)
Anyways, from CWM go into mounts, format /system wipe data etc etc etc.
Reboot your phone holding the Volume UP ... Launch Odin and flash the OEM firmware which can be downloaded from samfirmware.com.

Hi guys
I just changed my color of everything in recovery mode. My phone has been trying to start up for 40 minutes! I don't know what to do. Can I remove the battery and try to turn it on again? I just want it to startup.
Thanks
i guess you are stuck in a bootloop. you should have made a backup, did you?
I'm not really sure what a backup is? I have titanium, and clockwork I believe on my phone. I have changed the os a few times. Please explain to me what a backup is
Backup (Nandroid) is a part of clockworkmod recovery.
usually before you flash anything that changes the system files, you should make a backup (takes less than 5 minutes). just in case something goes wrong with the file you flashed, so you can revert back to how the phone was before the backup.
are you stuck at the splash screen or bootanimation?
I just removed the battery, and I put it back in and it's doing it again... I hope it starts up.
You are the fifth person I saw having this problem today. Something is not right here...
I am guessing chrome beta is causing this. I didn't get a chance to do factory restore yet as I want to backup my data files first when I get home.
But someone said data wipe and factory restore do not help...

I am on stock rom without root. There wasn't any issue before and installing chrome was the only thing I did yesterday.
By changing the color what do you mean? Flashed a theme?

which process did you use to root your phone?
So basically something from that theme didn't install correctly and is not allowing your phone to boot.
When making any changes to anything it is always wise to make a nandroid backup. If you made a nandroid you could restore that and you would be fine.
Since you didn't you have 2 options.
Option 1) Flash the current rom you were running with just a dalvik cache wipe and hope that it boots back up. If it does not you will have to do option 2.
Option 2) Wipe both data and cache and then flash a rom. You will lose all of your data but, you will then have a working phone.
I installed the chrome earlier today, a few hours later i got stuck in reboot loop. I use adb pull to get a copy of important data.
factory reset doesnt work. when i try to flash an earlier image of my phone, it fails at restoring 'data'
I was running the carbon pie rom and thought there was too much lag for my liking so I flashed Task's AOKP after doing a factory reset and wiping the cache/dalvik. Now I don't get any 3G connectivity and on some occasions I receive full bars but only with a "G" where the 3/4G should be. Also I will sometimes have the phone go from 5 full bars of 3G to none and no network connectivity. I have tried reflashing, and flashing back to Carbon with no differing results.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

hows the ol' IMEI? try a new modem? if all else fails, flash back to stock and then start over with aokp.
xBeerdroiDx is correct. Make sure your IMEI is there, if so try a new modem.
I just had an issue with not being able to get LTE recently after a TW ROM flash. New modems / ROM flashes wouldn't solve it. Something got borked and I had to reflash stock. I just ODINed a rooted image and everything was back up and running.
Don't wanna sound like a broken record considering xBeerdroiDx seemed to cover it, just wanted to highlight my own experience since it was similar.

Thanks for the quick replies, but what radio do I flash and where can I find it?
I just found that my IMEI is 0 and my IMEI SV is 00. Not sure what to do from there.
Did you take a backup of your nv data? Or make a nandroid of existing ROM before installing a new one?

If your IMEI reads 0, you do not need to flash a new modem, that will not fix the problem. I assume you didn't back up your NV data / EFS folder?
If you have not you will need to manually create and inject your IMEI back into your phone. No other way will fix this, not even an ODIN back to stock.
Read the directions here for how to do it: [FIX/TOOL] Backup/Restore/Fix IMEI & Data Restore Tool v3.0
I don't know how to backup my nv data so no I didn't do that. And I thought I made a nandroid but i think i lost it because i just installed TWRP from CWM. I feel like im a lost case with this phone and don't know what to do because not only can I not figure out how to do this but I also have a mac that cant run a VM because the laptop is from '06.
If you backed up using CWM, it would be under /clockworkmod Check under there.

Nandroids would not restore an IMEI, even if you had one and flashed back to it, your IMEI would still be gone. Also, unless you deleted your CWM backups by hand, they are still there. You would just need to reflash CWM to have access to them again. Nandroids are not interchangeable between recoveries.
Unfortunately you would need to use a friend's computer if you don't have a windows machine. If that's not an option, you can try to bring it to the retailer or send it to samsung... You can always flash back to stock and try and say you are having data issues ever since you updated with Kies to JB so they don't void your warranty. Might work?
Whenever you flash a ROM you run the risk of losing your IMEI. If/when you get this sorted out, you should look into making a backup in the event it ever fails again, you can simply flash it back.
i think when you do a factory reset, it erases the backups. I made a nandroid but it was a long time ago.

Factory reset won't remove your backups. I run a factory reset before I flash any ROM and my backups still exist. Please see my above post. I just edited it and has a solution for your nandroid problem at least.
Factory reset does NOT delete backups. It does NOT format internal SD where the backups are stored by default. This is, unless, you specifically told it to format/clear internal SD.
So the long and short is this, buddy: RPelham posted a link that can help you try and recover your IMEI. If you don't have access to a pc, download the latest stock recovery (a thread in the Android dev section) and flash your s3 back to stock for return purposes. There's also a thread in there u believe about removing root. Somebody chip in with more info if you've got it for this guy
See if you can make a phone call.
I can make a phone call if I'm on WiFi but I can't do anything if I'm away from wifi

first, try RPelham's suggestion to try and recovery your IMEI. getting that back and running is the preferred method.
if you decide to return/exchange your s3, follow the suggestion below to reset.
here's a link to a page that details how to setup your phone for return. this page is for the i9300 but i've included the links for i747 to use whenever an i9300 file is requested. after your nandroid restore and initial boot, see what base band you're on to know which modem you might need. read over the link a few times to become familiar and proceed at your own risk.

I am having some real issues trying to figure out how to go through this process. Does anybody know of a youtube tutorial or something? Do I need to be on a stock rom in order for this to work? I'm running the Carbon rom currently which is an AOSP rom. I've installed the drivers. I dont know what else to do. I can't get the programs to recognize my phone.
And my IMEI says 0
My IMEI SV says 00 and my mobile network state keeps saying connecting. and my serial number does not match the number under my battery.

I tried using that. but everytime i tried to follow the instructions, my phone didnt get recognized by the software and I don't know why. Also, I don't know what to do since im not running the stock rom and i tried entering the information into the terminal but that also didn't work. All of my drivers are installed properly multiple times over.

Use the script commands in post #2 for an AOSP ROM
open terminal emulator, give it root with the su command and type:
echo 0 > /sys/class/android_usb/android0/enable 0

Hello all! The USB port on my phone is messed up. I can get the phone to charge, but not connect to the computer (it's got a short in it. Charging will work if I hold the cord in a particular way, but no amount of wiggling will allow the computer to recognize it). I can transfer files to and from the phone pretty easily using the FTPServer app, but LGNPST won't work, nor will anything else that requires a USB connection.
Now, I would like to send it in and get it repaired, as it is under warranty for another month or so, but I need to completely revert to stock in order to do so (right?). Does anyone have any idea how I can do this without LGNPST or USB connectivity?
Thanks!

If you backed up your stock ROM, boot into recovery restore the backup, then you would need to use freegee and restore your bootloader and recovery images, then in supersu under settings there is a full unroot option.

Okay, so in theory, if I foolishly unlocked my phone in the early days before FreeGee existed, and therefore have no bootloader and recovery images to restore, is there still a way to do this? Can I use the images from another person's phone, or are they phone-specific?
You should be able to use someone elses, just as long as your restoring a ROM that matches the freegee backup such as ZV9 TWRP backup requires a freegee backup of ZV9 as well.
As far as stock ROMs go. There is a thread in the dev section listing a Odexed and deodexed stock ROM for the Sprint LGOG.
Hey guys,
I really need help. I was about to update my brother op3 from 3.2.4 to 3.2.8. When I was done I wanted to continue to flash to 4.0 but when I use the advanced reboot to boot into recovery it suddenly said "factory reset"!!!! Everything is gone even from the storage! I cant even backup from the backup file from twrp because it is gone! Can anyone please help me out? There are software to recovery this but I have to pay for all of them and they are not cheap!
Thank you in advance!
After a factory reset, even paid recovery tools aren't able to fully restore your data to their original state. At best, you'll get back a majority of the individual files you had on your phone prior to the wipe. The more you use the phone after wiping it, the more the old data is overwritten. At this point, I would just make the best out of this unfortunate event and clean flash whatever OS you were trying to update to. At least the phone will be de-cluttered at this point. You may even notice that the phone feels a little faster afterwards, and may even improve your battery life slightly.
If you had something really important on your phone that wasn't backed up, data recovery tools may be able to restore it, but I wouldn't hold my breath. Additionally, TWRP backups do not backup media files such as music, photos, personal documents, etc. Even if you were able to find a nandroid backup, you would only get back your OS, apps, and app data. Most of this can be restored by just downloading everything again.
In the future, I would recommend saving nandroid backups directly to a USB flash drive through USB OTG. Music and photos can also be backed up to the cloud through various free or paid services (Google Photos for example).

Chance to recover your files are verry slim. Use the TWRP provided by Bluspark, it's on his main thread, stock twrp seems to have many issues.
So i didnt make a backup of my n100 and well yea i wipe all and now i cant flash stock rom on my device who knew is it maybe possible to get a stock backup of some sort from someone and use it somehow?

At this point a local update from recovery is probably your best option. Get the latest FULL OTA for your model and push it to /sdcard from adb. Then boot to recovery and do the update. This should sort all your partitions and stuff.
for starters you will need a pc to fix this. now i want you to retrace your steps. what twrp you had, what magisk version, what did you install, what errors it shows, everything you can. the more details you provide the faster we can help you
