hello all
this is my first post, lamentabemente not very encouraging, I have a lg optimus g f180s! I'm from Ecuador and EBAY buy it.
The phone came with software version 4.0.4 f180s10h, so I go to xda and find, you can update the software in the same way that my previous lg nitro hd, ie via kdz ...
I proceed to download the file f180s20b, located on the xda page, and installed correctly.
Upon restart my phone was all perfect except:
It does not recognize the sim card
Does not display the IMEI (unknown), or the IMEI SV (unknown).
The baseban number :APQ8064/MDM9x15M
Done everything I'm desperate and can not find a solution to this problem, your help please!

Did you back it up first? if so restore it, if not you might have to reflash the previous version.

Firstly, about your IMEI : just flash the KDZ file again (for your phone version, imean F180S)
Secondly, about your signal after convert from F180 to E975, do as below
Your phone has been changed the baseband.
So just flash baseband again.
See your baseband here :

Download the file as the link above, extract it. Copy the *.img file that base on your phone version (L,S,K) to your root
Running the file *.bat that base on your phone version (L,S,K)
==> reboot : DONE

Please help me.
I need a F180L 10q kdz or efs of this version. Bought an optimus g from Hong-Kong. Korean version (U+). I updated to hungarian 4.1.2. and no 3g or LTE. I found this method, but I don't have original ics rom to install it back. I think it will work with F180s10j_00.kdz.
The phone is the e975 international version, so the hardware must be good.

Don't flash korean modem on e975. You might brick your device.
What lte bands are used there?

You need your imei because it`s how a network carrier checks that you are using the sim card in that phone
Imei
Please tell me what to do. I have my imei (wrote it down before upgrade), but how can I create a backup of efs. I read about freegee, but - if I'm not mistaken - I need to make it work 3G/LTE, then make a backup of efs.
Please write me a tutorial what to do.

Dear Kimitza,
Looks like You are some kind of expert of this, and probably speak better english than me, but I'm still a human. Unfortunately not as smart as You. I asked for a help, and if I'm not mistaken this forum is for helping each other. You don't have to be rude, because You know something better than me. If You don't want to help me don't do it. Maybe You can't help me, maybe You don't know the solution for my problem.
I hope someone will be kind and help me out.
Best,
Peter

no my friend,i don't consider myself smarter than anyone.i never did, because it's all relative. i may know a litle more than you and somebody else may know more than me.it's just i'm sick of repeating the same things over and over,like a broken record. I always say, READ and SEARCH first. Make a backup,be safe than sorry.
True,this forum is for sharing and help. But you gotta help yourself and think first. "Hey,i'm about to do something that can brick my phone. How do i do it safely?Where do i find the solutions?" If you would ask BEFORE doing,i would be more than happy to provide all the knowledge i have. we all would. but i see more and more questions about repairing damages made by ignorance. Your problem would've not appear in the first place if you would've used this forum. Don't get me wrong, it's your money and your phone,you can do whatever you like/want with it.All i'm saying is don't complain here about the answer you get because you screw up.
Optimus g
Here is the whole story. Bought an optimus g (international verison), when I get it, the phone offered me an OTA upgrade from 4.0.4 to 4.1.2. I never thought that this will cause me any problem. Everything was normal and official, this is why I did not make any backup. This is my third phone from abroad and never had any problem like this. The problem appeard when I put the sim inside. No 3G/LTE. I did search everything, tried almost everything: rooted, unlocked bootloader, tried official ROM (KDZ), unofficial ROM, flashed baseband, modem. Did everthing exactly I read about it at xda forums. Nothing seems to be working. Looks like You are my last chance, so please help.....

The big question is where did you bought from. European E975 came with 4.1.2.
optimus g
Unfortunetely from Hong-Kong. Optimus G E975 (F180L was on the box). and came with 4.0.4.

Make up your mind already. E975 is not the same with F180L . Different devices my friend.
My next question is,do you have network signal? if you do, have you checked your carrier settings?meaning the APN?
I've got this situation with my LGOG E975: a week ago i turned it on and after like 20 seconds after STOCK ROM was running , it rebooted.Then I also noticed the IMEI had gone. I wasn't rooted and the bootloader was locked. I tried everything from hard reset to flashing stock kdz. The only solution to the reboots is to flash teenybin and then a custom rom. Although I have no service and no IMEI. It's like having a 32 gigs ipod, almost useless. Also warranty was voided because the phone was disassembled.
Reading around the internet seems a EFS related issue but I have no idea how to fix it
Whats your advice? Hardware or software fault?
PS Also I noticed that ,with the stock rom, it doesn't scan the memory at startup, like it used to do.
Any help/idea would be appreciated!

Is there a way to backup my data/photos in LG Recovery Mode ?
When the phone boots up I can see the files on pc but not enough time to save.

do you know where's your phone from?? I meet a lot optimus G from Korea with this kind of problem when owners tried to flash it with an international ROM (Korean versions use different ROM but you can flash it with international ROM with some CAUTIONS, or you lost your IMEI) look for an able-to-pull-out antena on top of it, next to heaphone jack. if there is one, that's Korean version.
I know one way to recover IMEI for those phones, may be it works for your case:
1. Find out what is your phone REAL version (E97x or F180L,F180K,F180S ...) because it can be changed after you flash new ROM.
2. FInd s.o with the exact version of your phone and beg for the IMEI back up from their phones with this tool
mediafire.com/download/iy0rhx8yv7lkvlb/IMEI_Backup_Restore.zip (cant post links)
3. Restore your phone with that IMEI with the same tool, your phone will have new IMEI and .... service (I hope so)
remember to turn on "USB debugging". the phone will restart after done (may be twice)
Good luck!!

actually, you dont need IMEI to be the same, just the same kind of version (eg. International ~ E975, AT&T ~E973 ...). we call that "fake IMEI" in our place :lol:
This methods works 100% with korean version, and some of my friends confirm it works on international version, even the AT&T's or Canada's (E973,E970). the most important is to clarify your phone's version, if you did wrong version, you have to "fake baseband". and then everytime you flash a ROM you have to do the 2 fake

does not work on my e975
Hi guys i was trying out the chinese 4.2.2 on my G Pro and it messd up my EFS so now all i get is no service all the time.
Through extensive googling i found this guide and it helped me atleast get the imei to stop being unknown.
However when in the DFS CDMAtool it shows that the RF is in CDMA cellular and i am on a GSM CArrier is there a setting to change this so that my phone checks for both or only GSM.
Any help would be appreciated eg:-
EFS Files (Zeroed out) from F240L model preferrably as thats what i got
Assistnce on the usage of DFS CDMATool to rectify the above issue
Another method to fix EFS
THanks
UPDATE:
FIXED THE PROBLEM PHONE NOW HAS SIGNAL
Good work
care to write some tips/guidelines for anyone needing this in future
Brilliant work!
A guide will be very appreciated

Sorry for the late Reply.
This is what i did but remember mine is F240L.
Let me explain my problem.
I had LG G2 V5 on my phone then i saw that there's a chinese 4.2.2 which is where i lost my signal completely.
On researching i found my IMEI is unknown when a sim is in the phone but its there when no sim.
After restoring my IMEI with this method.
I downloaded stock TOT+DLL for my phone flashed it with LG FLASH TOOL.
I still got no signal then i realised that there was an update to my stock firmware to version F240L10Z.
I downloaded it as a KDZ and flashed it this time using the LG Mobile Support Tool in LG PC Suite.
After the phone restarted my signal came back to my relief.
Try it if something isn't clear tell me ill try to help.

At first i was overwhelmed but once you do it, its pretty simple.
The TOT for the E980 is even easier to find as its the more popular device on XDA but i have the links to them over here
Though its in chinese you will figure it out its simple.

I just reread your problem and realised that mine is different - my IMEI doesn't show at all, even without a SIM.
jhb019 said:

Follow this guide
It works for restoring the IMEI
Use the DFS CDMATOOL to get the info from the phone.
Write it down on a paper.
Then get Zeroed EFS files from the link don't worry Optimus G files work as that's what i used.
Replace the ones in the phone with those.
Reopen DFS CDMATOOL and copy back as muchof the info you wrote down as possible to the new EFS Files.
Reboot the phone to see if the info STUCK.
Obviously at this point the signal won't have reappeared.
Download the TOT +DLL for your phone flash it. If the signal is restored avoid the next step.
Then download a KDZ for your phone and flash it. (thinking about it skip the TOT part and jump to this.)
Your signal should be restored.
Hope this helps.

Unfortunately, I'm having the low battery error on the kdz flasher at the moment. No one has found a fix yet so I guess my only hope is getting the money for the phone back from my credit card company (a perk of living in the UK) as the seller is not interested.
Thanks for your time and replying to my posts quickly. If I don't get my money back and someone does find a fix for the low battery error, I will definitely be trying this out.
Thanks

The Optimus G EFS is compatible with G Pro, i know because it worked for me. Remember i have a F240L.
Remember the file is Zeroed out so you will fill it with data from your current phone through DFS CDMA TOOL.
As for a guide i can't make it anymore clear, because that's how i did it. To restore my IMEI after getting my EFS corrupted.
But I'll try. Here is what i did.
Step 1: I connected my phone to DFS CDMA TOOL and wrote down all the information displayed on the page that shows IMEI and various other data (sorry for not being specific don't have the software installed on my computer anymore.)
Step 2: I rebooted in recovery and flashed the Zeroed out EFS from the guide based on the Optimus G here.
Step 3: I opened the DFS CDMA TOOL program and copied all the info i had previously wrote down on paper back to the phone in the order i had fond it.
Step 4: Here is where it gets tricky because I don't kno if you can skip this step and go to the next, but i'll throw it in anyway as this is how I did it.
I downloaded the TOT+DLL (F240LAT-V10K) for my phone from here I flashed it to my phone but the signal never got restored.
Step 5: I then downloaded the KDZ with a newer F240L10Z and flashed using LG FlashTools after rebooting my signal was back.
I don't know if you can flash the KDZ directly bypassing Step4 because this is not something i would want to repeat for the sake of simplifying the guide.
But give that a go it may work.
All i can say is good luck in trying.
I can assist where i can.
Remember if it does work to BACKUP YOUR EFS to avoid future issues.

Step 1: I connected my phone to DFS CDMA TOOL and wrote down all the information displayed on the page that shows IMEI and various other data (sorry for not being specific don't have the software installed on my computer anymore.)
Step 2: I rebooted in recovery and flashed the Zeroed out EFS from the guide based on the Optimus G here.
Step 3: I opened the DFS CDMA TOOL program and copied all the info i had previously wrote down on paper back to the phone in the order i had fond it.
Step 4: Here is where it gets tricky because I don't kno if you can skip this step and go to the next, but i'll throw it in anyway as this is how I did it.
I downloaded the TOT+DLL (F240LAT-V10K) for my phone from here I flashed it to my phone but the signal never got restored.
Step 5: I then downloaded the KDZ with a newer F240L10Z and flashed using LG FlashTools after rebooting my signal was back.
I don't know if you can flash the KDZ directly bypassing Step4 because this is not something i would want to repeat for the sake of simplifying the guide.
But give that a go it may work.
All i can say is good luck in trying.
I can assist where i can.
Remember if it does work to BACKUP YOUR EFS to avoid future issues.

All right thank you for the instructions. I will give it a try and hopefully I can get my LG Optimus G Pro working again.

The Optimus G EFS is compatible with G Pro, i know because it worked for me. Remember i have a F240L.
Remember the file is Zeroed out so you will fill it with data from your current phone through DFS CDMA TOOL.

which version of the CFS CDMATOOLS did you use? I downloaded the demo version of it, and when I connect my Optimus G Pro on to my computer, it doesn't show any information about my phone. Do you think I should buy the paid version of it?

I used this one Setup DFS 13.9.29.0.exe
To enable it to work change the USB MODE of the phone to LG SOFTWARE.
In DFS CDMATOOL make sure you choose the port USB ANDROIDNET SERIAL FOR DIAGNOSTICS PORT (not sure of spelling)
Then you should see your phone info show up on CDMATOOL.

I did every step as instructed on your instruction and on CDMA TOOL all I see is flashing red colors of BPSR ... NA ... BPSR ...NA ... so it leaves me to believe that my LG OPTIMUS G PRO is beyond being fixable. Perhaps best thing for me to do now is just send it in to AT&T and pay for them to fix it. Thanks for your help.

Mine too was red.
Just open the tab called PROGRAMMING and then GENERAL(which is the default) tab.
Click the READ button on each box.
The info you get write it down on a paper in the order you will remember.
Load up the ZEROED EFS on the Phone and copy the info you had on paper back the way it was before.
Then FLASH the phone as per the guide.
That should work.
E980 IMEI null
How did you get daig mode enabled on the phone? I don't get to see any connected ports in DFS when I select the USB connection in "charge only" mode.
thanks,
E980 PC can't see ports
I just can't connect my E980 with DFS. The diag port (COM4) doesn't show up unless I select "PC software" USB connection mode. With every other USB connection type, PC fails to see the phone ports (serial/diag/modem).
What am I doing wrong here? I factory reset the phone and just set only USB diag mode under developer settings. However ADB shell works fine with USB mode set to "charge only".
Thanks

Q&A for [EFS] LG G3 EFS Backup and Restore
Some developers prefer that questions remain separate from their main development thread to help keep things organized. Placing your question within this thread will increase its chances of being answered by a member of the community or by the developer. Thanks for understanding and for helping to keep XDA neat and tidy! :smile:
Anyone verify if that LG IMEI backup app worked the same way? I flashed the zip with flashify and it worked fine.
I made a restore before flashig a rom, then I found out that my IMEI numbers where 0 and no signal. Now im trying to restore but after restore it just boots up in TWRP again. I flashed the zip file and restored again... did not help. Am I doing it wrong?
Backup Verification?
Is this all you need for EFS restore on the G3? I used the manual method through cmd terminal/adb on my pc and successfully created the two files. Can someone explain to a noob how I can verify that it was successful, i.e. a way to check the two .img files that were generated? Thanks in advance.

How to check if EFS is still on my device?
Hi guys, I'm an owner of a new LG G3.
Now I have a problem. I went to TWRP, deleted EVERYTHING in the wipe menu, without backing up EFS. Then I installed ChupaChups 2. with the ChupaChups skin and SuperSU 2.37. Now I don't know if I lost EFS or how to check if it's still on the device. Because in the settingsmenu "about phone" I can still see my IMEI and data seems to work fine, at least on 2/3g. Can somebody tell me how to check on this?
Someting odd at last, I experience Bluetooth-hickups with the rom, anybody can confirm this?
Thank you so much for your help, I'm a bit desperate here because I don't know if I really just destroyed my phone and I am hoping I'm able to restore to stock.

what are my options if I mess up my NV files and I don't have EFS backup
Looking for assistance with missing efs info for Verizon lg g3. I am technical enough to do it with steps.

difficult situation
Hello,
It depends what you have in mind when you say "my info". If it is precious personal data, and you don't have a copy on another media, this is not too good. :-/ . If it is about the operating system and it's features, I have read that flashing back to stock rom is possible, as LG provides them in their Open Source section.
/Edit: ddaypunk06 I can't answer to the new content of your post. Someone else will.
I am interested in making a back up of my EFS folder, but I'm not rooted. I read here :http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/efs-lg-g3-efs-backup-restore-t2907329 that it can also be done using 4 ADB commands. Is it still necessary to be rooted to use the ADB commands ? by the way I'm on V20f.

Hi,
As I understand things, the 4 ADB commands mentioned are meant to root the phone. From this part of this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/root-root-lg-g3-easily-purpledrake-lite-t2821000
But, what if I don't want to run your script to root?
Well then, I'd be a little hurt, but you can still do everything the script does manually.
Download the package, and extract it. Open a terminal in the main folder of the archive and run these commands:
Code:
adb reboot --bnr_recovery
adb push ./assets/start_restore /temp/start_restore
adb push ./assets/permaroot.bin /temp/start_restore
adb reboot
That will perma-root you, however there's no protection from doing something stupid or the phone being incompatible. Please be careful!

So be it with 4 ADB commands or with the help of the DrakePurple-Lite script, you need to be root in the filesystem of your phone, if you want to be able to perform administration tasks.
So how I understand things, you can't access to the said files: the 2 parts of the bootloader, if you are not root in the Android operating system. Please see here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54254062&postcount=2
EFS Backup:
Backup EFS after jailbreaking your G3. EFS is split into 2 partitions modemst1 and modemst2.
img files will be on root of internal sdcard. Save the .img files somewhere else besides the sdcard... email, cloud, etc..
I have made a new thread on EFS backup and restore which can be found HERE.

Hi there.
Go to Settings>about phone>Status.
You should see your IMEI, MAC Address and operator connection.
Also go to Phone and dial *#06# and you should again see your IMEI.
Make sure that it is not all 000000000s.
Edit: If you play with flashing roms backup your EFS folder!

Thanks for your reply. In conclusion , since we can't root lollipop yet, the only way to make a back up of my EFS folder is to downgrade to kitkat, then upgrade to lollipop. I'll think about it.

I only have a 4.4.2, LG G3 S stock, untouched, not updated. I am waiting for a missing clue to root it using DrakePurple-Lite in my Linux distribution. Which codename does that one have? With all the new words I am learning these days, I start getting into confusion, and "KitKat" and "Lollipop" looks to me like lots of sugar. I'll try to keep my phone on a low diet. lol

Can't find EFS folder
Hi!
Today I flashed EFS Backup but I can't see in windows or in the phone with root explorer..etc. But I see in the Recovery..So i can't copy to my computer or anywhere else..
Can You help me?
Thanks
I'm sorry for pulling the noob card. I have managed to backup my EFS using TWRP. I would like a second type of backup to be sure before I move any further. I've been down the lost IMEI on my Note 2. So my new G3 is a VS985 and this method does not seem to work? It goes through all of the steps, but when I look for the created folder there is nothing. Even the folder does not exist. One thing I have noticed is that when I try to create a backup from TWRP to the internal storage the same behavior occurs. Something is written and even TWRP can find it. Although when I am looking around for the created folder... I find nothing. Although when I write a backup to the SDcard it can be found. So if someone could help me with this it would be great. Thank you all for your time.
I think this is the same issue as the poster above me.
I get the impression this thread is no longer active?
Hi
I bought recently some refurbished LG F240. According to IMEI it was originaly a F240L. I had stupid idea to upgrade software to Android 5.0 so I downloaded original KDZ firmware for F240L. Update was succesfull and everything works fine except... GSM. I can use a WiFi but i can't make any phone call or send sms. When I check my phone IMEI using *#06# it shows "null"
I live in Europe so to fix this I tried to flash my phone again using KDZ for Germany (from this link: storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda%2FLG+Optimus+G+Pro%2FStock%2F ) and it still dosn't work . After it I rooted my phone and I installed CWM (lte2jbrecovery) and I tried to flash all modems from this link androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=17567 but none of them works. I also noticed that after flash modem (CWM says that it was succesfull) broadband version in "about phone" section dosn't change.
My only idea is to install back LG-F240-EUR ROM but i can not find this rom :/
Does anybody has any idea how can I fix this. I'll be very grateful for your help!
i think all f240 are korean
so your safest bet will be to flash f240 k/L/S KDZ, when i messed up flashing rom to my f240 and get no signal i always go back to to f240k korean kdz and it will be fixed

I did it before and after it I lost signal I think that I broke EFS partition during flashing KDZ file. I have no backup of EFS partition but i found info that it is possible to repair EFS partition using Z3X LG 2-3G Tool even without backup. I don't know how to do it but i found some company which do things like this so I hope that they repair this - they told mi that it should be possible
If they helps I will ask them what they do I'll reply solution here

No idea. I did everything and nothing helps. I don't know what magic is done in LG-F240-EUR and I also can't find this ROM. EFS partition is ok, its probably something wrong with RIS driver but i don't know how to fix it. I just bought another phone and i'll never again buy another phone for Korean market.
