Do you have a back up of your efs? Restore it and see if hardware info will go away.

If you look at pic he posted he is still getting cellular network signal which is a good sign and pretty sure something in efs folder just need to be restored.

Yes. ..I agree. ..
A clean nandroid restore would fix that up I'd think. ..But getting into a usable recovery may be difficult. ..
Does the factory mode allow any action to be taken with respect to pushing files ??

Custom recovery and Odin will still work but flashing stock rom via custom recovery / Odin will not fix the that annoying factory mode. Its like having a big watermark on your home screen. OP mentioned that he flashed Moon rom hopefuly he ticked thats efs back up option there. I am running the same rom right now.

I see. ..
It sounds like the cherry pick method from a known EFS folder is the only viable way back. ..
And either the files get manually dropped into place. ..or maybe via command line using ADB..
Either way. ..No easy task without knowing the steps. ..and having a proper EFS to draw files from. ..
At least the partitions appear to be intact. ..making the restoration very possible. ..
You have proven that. ..g

[Q] [HELP] No imei, no baseband after flashed stock rom!

- This is the second time i lost my imei on N7105T (Vodafone Australia)
- The first time i flashed N7100 kernel for N7105T without backup efs. So, the phone showed no imei and no baseband. I decided to flash back the Vodafone AU stock rom version 4.1.1 . Finally, imei and baseband were back. So, i was so lucky. I backup efs to make sure it will not happen again.
The second time i flashed Singapore stock rom version 4.1.2 . Then, i got same trouble again means no imei and no baseband, i tried to restore efs. but nothing happen. It flashed Vodafone stock rom but it still show nothing.
Could anyone help me? I am on stressful. Sorry for my English.

I still can't believe how many people don't know this:
Backing up your EFS Folder on a N7105 will do nothing
It is a different chip in the LTE (7105) and the standard "Backup your EFS" _does not_ work.
There's a couple of other apps out there that will do it for you. We're lucky though, it's possible to re-create the EFS for the 7105, not so easy for the N7100.
But really - do people not know this at all??
Here is the tool to be using - it supports the Qualcomm chips which our lovely N7105's have. LTE support, DC-HDPA etc. Poor N7100 users...
Did you check your phone memory for a backup?? Many developers add the efs backup script to their installer.

Tutorial [noob] How to Install Clockworkmod (CWM) touch/recovery on Galaxy S3 i747.

I was looking for this for a long time and finally found it embeded in a thread here at XDA and thought it would be helpful to have a clean thread.
1) Download correct Clockworkmod (touch or regular as you wish) for your device from http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager
2) Place it at the root of your sdcard and rename it recovery.IMG
3) Download and install terminal emulator from the play store : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jackpal.androidterm&hl=en
4) Run the terminal and
type: su (press enter)
Then type: dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 (press enter)
Don't mess up the command or you WILL brick your phone.
5) Enjoy your Clockworkmod.:victory:
Note: I don't take any credit for this.
If you mess up the block or partition number you MAY not mess or brick your phone, you will BRICK it for sure

Odin?
Wouldn't it be easier and safer to use the Odin program to load Clockworkmod? Less chance of bricking the phone?
The easiest way I've found is to root the phone via Odin, either with Chainfire's autoroot or Mr. Robinson's root 66. The results are pretty much the same but Chainfire's method won't wipe your phone.
After that install ROM manager from the play store and use that to flash CWM, or install Goo Manager from the play store and use that to flash TWRP.
Good write up and I'm not knocking you, but for noobs its better to use odin. Its a ton safer.
EDIT: I meant Odin, not fastboot. I work with a lot of devices and I forgot about it being a Samsung device. Oops.

the problem with using odin is that odin only lets you flash .tar files.... cwm for the att s3 comes as an .img and therefore odin doesn't want to flash it.
i found the easiest way is to root (follow steps in this thread), install MOBILE odin pro (tpb?), and flash the recovery.img through mobile odin pro.
There's a tar file for cwm around here somewhere
not in that post there isn't. the only tar files there are twrp recovery, and the stock recovery...

Please help! Rogers i317m Unknown IMEI and Baseband and can't access internal storage

I really need some help! I totally screw my note 2 up. I flashed the rooted stock rom onto my note 2 using odin and I made the mistake of checking Nand erase all and now I have unknown IMEI and Base band and can't seem to access internal storage at all.
I made a backup with twrp first I thought but when I restore it there is no change. I've been searching and reading for 3 days now and I can't fix it! I am at a total loss on what to do.
Any help would be totally appreciated

There is an efs.ext4.win and efs.ext4.win.md5 in my backup on my SD that twrp created but I don't know what to do with them. I did the restore through TWRP already to no success.
And I am trying the NV reader/writer but I can't get it to talk to my phone
Also, I tried to go through to procedures in the first link but when I go into the EFS folder there are no nv_data files whatsoever!
Contact the developer of the tool kit also. ..
And as I read the thread. ..it mentioned the no connection and had a work around. .
Scan every post. ..the answer is there I'm sure. .
Keep at it. ...If you have EFS files. ..you have nv_data.bin...and a way back...
You just need connection. ...check "all" drivers for the device on the PC...and you will find the trick...

Ack! Help Please!

I flashed my phone yet again, figured I would put it back on lifeless 14 from pacman and I'm having some problems:
1. The phone starts up, lets me play with it for a couple of seconds and then begins a bootloop cycle.
a. I've tried wiping and wiping cache and davlik cache in TWRP many times including re-flashing multiple times and no good. Keeps doing it.
2. Another problem has developed during all of this. It appears that my sd card/internal sd card has been wiped but this is not true. I can't see my data with the phone booted up nor can I see anything connected to windows but....
a. When in TWRP, I can go to Advanced and explore the sd card and all of my files are there.
b. However, if I go to do a restore, no nandroid backups are visible even though I can see them in the advanced menu in TWRP.
I guess my question is, how can I copy all of my files off of the sd card so I can wipe everything, recopy the files back and start over?
All my pics and backups are still there, just not usable at the moment.
Thanks so much. I'm currently dead in the water until I get this resolved.

Thanks for the reply. I did wipe system, data, dalvic, and cache and I did do a factory reset. I did it all, multiple times. All m files are there, I just can access them on the pc or in TWRP unless I go to the advanced menu and file explore. I see everything there. This is very frustrating.
Now, I can't even boot to TWRP or the system. It just keeps flashing the lg splash screen and then goes to the blank backlit screen. I've held the power button down for 20-40 seconds and it either tries to restart or shuts off but I can't get it to go to the bootloader or anything. I've always been able to fix my phones when I've messed them up but this one is killing me.
Thanks for any help you can give. I really appreciate it.
If you don't have TWRP, or fastboot, and can't boot up, then you'll need to either LGNPST. Or LGFlashtool. Flashtool had its own thread. Lgnpst you'll find on irc, or teenybin thread under additional info.

With lgnpst, if you wipe in twrp you'll save SD. But if you wipe in stock recovery, you will lose it.
There might be a way to get the files off your phone using adb. But I don't know how.

Yes it will.. it wipes everything...when u flash a bin restore..maybe tiny bins are different.. unless you have adb\fastboot u are pretty much gonna have to say bye to ur storage to save your phone
Also if u can no longer get to recovery it may be to late to pull any files from ur phone

the lg flash tool will wipe it as if it's just coming out of the box, with handsfree activation and all. lgnpst will (afaik) wipe all but your data so you shouldn't lose your photos and stuff

If you don't have TWRP, or fastboot, and can't boot up, then you'll need to either LGNPST. Or LGFlashtool. Flashtool had its own thread. Lgnpst you'll find on irc, or teenybin thread under additional info.

I'm getting an error trying to fix this using TeenyBin lgnpst. I'm not sure what the issue is and the cause is blank but I feel like I'm so close to having this figured out. I must be missing something. Anyone have any ideas? I'm getting pretty desperate. Thanks.

did you already flash the stock bin in lgnpst? or just the teeny bin
and what is the error? usb dongle error? or what? take a screenshot of the error and post it

I've tried every bin on the page. I did get the dongle error originally but worked past that one.
Here is the screenshot. Not much info I'm afraid

you're right lol. try uninstalling lgnpst and reinstalling it, and double check the .dll that you're using. i don't have much experience with lgnpst so sorry if i'm not really helping

If I remember right the dll is LS970.dll. The bins should be either ZVB or ZVC. bin. You did register the dll right?

Apparently it was using a different dll last night. The one in the components 3.0 folder called LGNPST_Utility3.dll.
Today, it's not finding any dll nevermind the correct dll of lgnpst.dll. I think all I need now is to have the right dll, in the right place and registered. Frustrated. Thanks for all your help though, you've been amazing.

I would so love to get my hands on that dll. This will have to be my last attempt before I go and plead with Sprint to allow me to transfer an upgrade from one of my other lines. I need this phone up ASAP. Totally killing me. Thanks.

Thanks man, had to run out before you replied so I stopped in at the Sprint store and the goofy thing must have been stuck in weird cycle or something because it wasn't charging all night. I left it plugged in to the wall using the original cable and block and it was completely dead. The rep plugged it in there for a few minutes and it booted right up to the lock screen without issue. I was even able to get into twrp too. I left it with them to do a manual zvc update and I'll reroot and unlock it again when I get it back in just a little bit.
I'm tired, I was up way to late messing with this last night. I appreciate all of your help. You guys have been awesome.
Wow, this has been an adventure!
The Sprint tech gave up. He could not manually flash it, wipe it, or anything. He could not get it to stop bootlooping on lifeless either. He then thought it was a bad battery or screen so he replaced both (at not charge thankfully) and finally gave up.
So my choices were to have them get me a refurb under the warranty (I don't have insurance) for $50 or borrow an upgrade from another line in which I have no desire to upgrade, it's an extra phone. Either way, Sprint cleared me for both without any penalties on my line as far as my regular upgrade date goes.
So he gave me the phone back and of course I had to mess with it.
I got it to boot to TWRP and I finally got the phone to flash pacman again, had to store the files in some obscure folder on the storage and flash it from there.
With pacman flashed, I was able to get all my files off of my sdcard!
Now, I would like to roll back to lifeless or nexOGen or something more stock. All my problems occurred yesterday when I tried this. Does pacman on 4.3 change something that won't allow me to flash back?
Thanks again for any advice.
All you had to do was wipe SD to solve all your issues.
4.3 uses a different folders it says it under sdcard/0 and stock does not that's why on stock you can't see files you had.
You can pull your files using adb pull to grab things you want to keep.

At&t Galaxy Note 4 Stuck in boot loop optimizing apps

Phone will not boot. Starting phone, makes it to the optimizing app # of 26. The first number varies, but it never makes it through the full count without rebooting. I can not boot in safe mode. I have used Odin to re-flash stock firmware 5.1.1 successfully and also factory reset after flashing. the problem still exists.
Hi, same issue with my SM-N910A. Any solution?

What did u do prior to this? Did u install a bad app?

I bought the phone with this issue. I thought I could simple resolve it with a clean install via Samsung Smart Switch.
I tried Stock Firmware via Odin and Smart Switch, Custom ROM via TWRP and all other Recoveries.
It would be nice to see what the phone actually does while booting.
I dont have a clue what is actually wrong. MAybe hardware, but which part...? hmm

Check if power button do not sticks. To clean use alcohol. Pull battery out, little drop on power button, press couple times. Dry with hair dryer for 2-3min. Put battery back and power on. Let us know.
