Hello everyone!
Sorry for my bad english
I have the following problem:
I bought on eBay SGH-I317 from USA for use in 2G/3G networks in my country.
Phone finds the networks, but is not registred in them (available only emergency calls).
Later I noticed that the IMEI in the phone information is 0 (*#06# -> 0/02). I think that my operator does not take this IMEI and so it does not register in network the phone.
I tried all the ways how to repair EFS/IMEI, installed the stock firmware via odin, but nothing worked.
The phone has S\N, Wi-fi MAC and other information that is contained in the EFS, only not has the IMEI.
What else can I try to solve this problem?
I would be grateful if someone would send me your EFS backup of I317, so I can figure out which files in a folder EFS is missing in my phone.
I DID IT!
After "dancing with a tambourine" Qualcomm NV Tools has worked, and I was able to hand-write the original IMEI.
Please close this topic.

i really need help!
Never flashed before - but you need a special file (nv?) that is unique to your phone. If you didn't back that up, yes you killed it ! If you did search XDA for instructions on how to restore it.
You can do this step to find your signal.
1.backup your ks-20 NV file,the file you can backup from firmware.
2.firm ENG rom and chose ERASE ESF.
3.complete the flash,you can go in the system,and find Windag_open.cab install on the device,and open engineer mode.
4.open firmware,only flash nv file,since reset ,you will find the signal.

lol, He loss calibration data from handset!!!! If there is no service after flashing without NV backup, only way to resolve that problem to flash the NVRAM with backup of another handset and correct IMEI and BT address.
To everyone,
If u need .nv2 file, pm me with ur imei no. and email address, i can generate one for you, but the last digit, which is calculated by your phone, would likely to be different and also i can only generate branded .nv2 since i only got branded .nv2 file. It could be work in unbranded phone but just u need to flash a branded rom or hybrid rom to use with it.
thank you raykisi you are the best it works 100%.

LG KS20 Network Problem
I have read it. Again, many thanks, specially to you; everithing from there was very helpfull.
I will give you the IMEI number: 357323-01-137914-1
I have managed to write the IMEI to the phone with QPSt; do i need to do something else?
If i conect back with QPST shows the IMEI (without the last digit)
Unfortunatell i don't have a valid backup for the nv file
Any help will be great
Ths in advance
Hi raykisi,
I still have my .qcn file... but what I'm trying to do is a little bit different: put a KS20 rom on a MS25 mobile (similar mobile that we have here in Brazil).
I tried to recover my network config using my qcn backup but I couldn't...
My phone always shows "No Service".
Tooo bad...
;(
Hope you can help me...

What does ERASE EST do? Why would you think this whole procedure will help find the signal? I asked because my KS20 doesn't find any signal in a lot of places but my wife's KS20 does. I am wondering if there is anything I can try to resolve my problem. Thanks.

Hi everyone,
I guess many of you are in huge pain with the KU990 new version, that is, the ones that cannot be unlocked using lg3g or mtty methods.
Here I would like to describe everything I tried so far and the current status I am locked in today.
My biggest mistake was to not backup my phone (the famous .nv2 file) at the very beginning ! I strongly advise people who wish to modify their phone somehow to first backup with LGMDP !! Otherwise you may end just like me...
I started with a SFR (VDF FRANCE) locked phone and, as I did not have the SFR sim card at that time, I tried to unlock it with both the lg3g and the mtty methods. Unfortunately the unlocking procedures did not work at all, although I ensure I tried everything. I finally read somewhere that the newest KU990 had a supplementary protection that could not be overcome.
In parallel I was able to manage to change the firmware to OPEN or VDF (EURO) versions ranging from v10a to v10j (using LGMDP). So it seems that there is no big issue there.
However at some point in the process (I guess the unlocking), my IMEI was changed. And my phone started to ask me to "Insert USIM card" or to refer to "Invalid USIM card" depending on if a sim was in or not. I understood that USIM was referring to international sim cards so I tried to reinstall VDF firmwares with VDF .nv2 and VDF Flex backups (still not mine), but this made my phone unusable as it displayed a nice yellow screen and the fact that some wallpaper file could not be found. Still I could solve this problem by I changing back to OPEN firmwares and .nv2.
Now I recovered the original sim card from SFR and was able to obtain the unlock code from their hotline. But as my IMEI has been changed, the unlock code fails now.
Thus I tried to reset or to change my IMEI back to what is written below the battery using either lg3g, mtty, QPST or NVEditor. This also leaded nowhere as even reading the IMEI with lg3g and mtty failed and as QPST and NVEditor revealed that the NV_UE_IMEI_I parameter was protected (NV_READONLY_S). I tried many different things with these tools but it does not seem possible to break the protection.
I guess my only chance now would be to insert my old IMEI into an existing .nv2 file. I have found some "NV2 - QCN TOOLS V1.4" that can do this but only on the KU20.
Does anyone has a tool allowing to insert a new IMEI in a .nv2 ?
OR
Did anyone go through the same difficulties and did finally find a solution ?
any help will be greatly appreciated )
please do not ask me how i did this or that for the moment, if I can solve my problem I will certainly return the favor to all of you later on.
Hello,
Have you tested the tools for the KS20, because the. NV2 is certainly quite similar.
@+
Thank you for your suggestion.
I tried the tool but first it returns a NV2 Status Error when I load any .nv2 file, second the IMEI is forced into 357323-01-XXXXXX whereas both my original and current IMEIs start with 353638-02, and third, although the tool indeed creates the file (I chose "Branded nv2"), the backup fails (LGMDP reports four NV ITEMs with NV_BADPARM_S with no more information) and I end up in Emergency mode.
A KU990 version of the tool might do the trick, if it is possible to specify the full IMEI of course. I can send my current nv2 file(s) if it can help anyone...
hi,
Can you send me by PM your backup NV2, the original IMEI and IMEI on your phone now.

Hello Forumers,
I have a galaxy note 3 N7505 with 4.4.2 kit kat android.
One day i decided to do a reset factory without make a backup, so when i reboot my phone and try to make a call, suddenly show me a message "' No network connection". I searched the phone's file and i saw that the efs file was empty.
Do you know any solution for my problem. I've tried to install again the same rom but the efs file is empty again.
Is there any other method to try in order to make my phone usable again?
Thanks a lot!
If you did not backup your efs (imei), you should contact your warranty service! Since efs block contains your IMEI which registers your phone to your provides network with your cell id! It is just likely MAC adress of a computer on a network! Good luck!
hello i am form germany. my english isnt that good. my problem: tried to flash my note3 europe/german region log because oft battery Problem with lollipop. i forget to save the efs folder... my phone cant create connection to my simcard.

Mtkdroid etc. also doesnt works because of different processor...maybe somebody got a solution. Many THX.
Hi there,
Need a help of someone good at working with G4 unlocking. Here is the story of whole problem.
I bought an LG G4 from my local market. At the time of purchase it was rooted but not updated, so I thought to update it. I tried to flash it with Marshmallow kdz available at storage cow with H81520B_00, but may be I flashed my phone with wrong kdz file (as I was not aware of matter at that moment) which was not supported by my phone's model as my phone was H815T (HKG version). The flashing of wrong KDZ file changed the ESN, IMEI & MEID of the phone and replaced them with something that is blacklisted in international phone database. because of this reason now whenever I try connect my phone to the network with the sim installed, it doesnt show any connectivity and displays that service is disabled on the phone.
After this incident, I re-flashed my phone with correct kdz available for H815T model but the problem still persists.
Then in many forums I tried to find the solution to revert back my phone's ESN, IMEI & MEID back to the values printed on the back sticker of my phone pasted under the battery. Somehow I was successful to revert the IMEI of the phone back to original but I am unable to change the ESN and MEID values.
I have tried many ways. I tried to use EFS Explorer of QPST but in that, I found that the NV folder which includes the ESN and MEID values is locked and by applying all my efforts and searching everywhere, I am still unable to unlock this folder.
I tried DFS CDMA Tool, it shows my phone's info properly, but when I try to write the old values to my ESN and MEID areas, it says that the values have been written successfully, but when I try to read the values again to check whether they have really successfully written or not then the tool shows the previous corrupted values again.
I tried EFS Professional & CDMA workshop for the same reason and it too showed the same response as DFS.
I need a help from someone who can guide me that how can I unlock the NV folder of my phone and write the correct values of ESN and MEID of my phone back to it so that it can connect to the cellular network.
Apart from cellular network connectivity, all the functionality of the phone is perfectly fine.
Exactly same problem with my G4, only difference is that it connects to network and disconnects again and again. I am able to make/recieve call and sms when outdoors. Ut randomly drops signals even outdoors
