Might help?

try this
1. You have to install a terminal emulator from google market
2. Type su
3. Then enter the following after the #
echo -n ON > /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode
(yes ON is the correct setting to turn it off)

anything i doing wrong?

Might be why you are having the problem. Is the EFS and EFS/FactoryApp directories there?

I'm wondering the same thing. I'm in the same boat as you. My efs folder was somehow deleted by TWRP and after I recovered from the brickloop this caused I found that "Factory mode" is also activated on my device. I was able to solve this by pasting the contents of someone else's Verizon Note 3 efs folder into mine, but the files disappear every time I reboot. No one has responded to my inquiries about this as of yet, but after some searching it seems that there might be a efs.img file that the efs folder is built off of upon boot of the phone. At least that was my understanding...
Were you ever able to fix the problem on your device?

Can't find QCN file?

When I back it up it saves the file successfully, but then whenever I try to access the file I can't find it. I have hidden files enabled but I still can't see it. What am I doing wrong? Does it have something to do with the fact that my SPC reads 00000000?

After a lot of frusturation I managed to backup the QCN and generate a new one, then restore it into the phone. I will update later on whether or not that worked, but I think it probably did. Thanks a lot to all of the helpful posts and apps on the forum, I will definitely be sticking around.

[Q] Werid issue where my GS3 is stuck in Factory Mode

Let me start by saying I've read through several other threads with a similar issue, but they all have a common connectivity problem that I'm NOT experiencing so I thought I'd ask this in a new thread. I was using AOKP build 5, and I decided to try out a more TW stock rom to see how devs have modified it. I chose Intergalactic v 2.8, wiped data/cache and installed like ya do. Almost immediately I got the pop up saying, "Unfortunately, Factory Test has stopped." I didn't think much of it, even though I had never seen it before. I restored my app data via Titanium Backup and starting fiddling with my settings. Made a couple calls, a few texts. Put my phone down to go about my morning. Later when I went to unlock my phone I realized I don't have a lockscreen. Thought that was funny so I went to boot into recovery but punching the power button just turned the phone off; So I investigated and I realize I'm in factory mode. and I can't seem to get out of it. I've tried running the terminal commands to turn it off, but that didn't work. It looks like my ESF folder is empty or doesn't exist.
So here's what I know after all of my research: My IMEI somehow seems to be intact since I can make calls and get on the network, but because my ESF is empty or gone can't turn off factory mode, which is causing all kinds of other buggy issues such as no lockscreen, no power menu, and the annoying Factory Test pop-up. If there is a thread out there that had a similar problem, I apologize that I couldn't find it. is there any way to recover this info, since the IMEI is still intact? Thanks.

Tried to restore the stock JB with Odin and it didn't fix the problem. I'm attempting to flash the stock ICS, then attempt an OTA update to see if that does the trick. Will keep you posted.
So I flashed ics and then allowed AT&T to push my JB update to me OTA. Still in factory mode. I guess I'll just have to investigate this more thoroughly. I'm using widget locker as a work around for my lockscreen, but still no power menu and the popups are still showing up every now and then. Super annoying, but at least my phone is still functioning. If anyone has any other ideas I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

How would I extract it from the EFS folder from the stock image? I figured I would need to do with through ADB, but I have no idea what commands I would have to execute.

I saw this fix, but frankly, I'm skittish to try it as my IMEI is still intact and I'm afraid of making the problem worse. My EFS folder is there, but it's empty.

Don't be skittish. It really and truly is the only way to get everything back to how it should be. Ton's of people have tried it and this allows you to push the IMEI back into your phone the way it came from the factory. It's not for spoffing or doing anything illegal.
Now its usually for replacng a lost IMEI from flashing a ROM. Sometimes happens when going from a non-stock type ROM (i.e. CM or AOKP) to stock type ROM (i.e TW)
Search on how to push files with ADB and you should be good to go
BE CAREFUL though and don't skip steps or go fast.
I meant to ask...can you use your phone ? does data work ? Have you tried to get into download mode ?
If you can then download good manager and select reboot into recovery or any other number of apps that let you boot into recovery without having a power menu

Yeah, the phone works perfectly other than a lack of lock screen, no power menu, and the pop ups that annoyingly show every once in a while. Download mode works, and I pushed stock back to my device using ODIN. It now occurs me me to wonder if I might have had a different result if I had flashed my stock rom using ADB.

Yessir. When the phone booted back up it didn't go through the setup process. Just goes straight to the homescreen. Also when I boot into restore mode I see this under the menu options:
E:failed to mount /efs (Invalid Argument)

I tried turning it off with terminal emulator at one point last night, but it didn't seem to work, I THINK because the EFS folder is empty. I'll have to re-root tonight and try it again since I've restored my stock firmware.
It may seem like I'm shooting down every suggestion you guys throw at me, but I really appreciate the input. XDA is a big place and I tried to be very thorough when searcing for a solution before posting this thread, but I'm sure there's something out there I've missed. Thank you for your efforts.
I think I found something that will allow me to restore a generic EFS here:

Asked the originator if it will work to restore my files. If so, gonna try it when I get off work tonight.

Ah exactly what I have been looking for on this one for you. I found a few that explained how to push your old EFS folder with ADB but none about making another. How crazy it was yesterday it popped up on a post. That looks like your best shot as you folder seems to be corrupted and although IMEI is intact you need a new one folder that is intact. Let us know how it turns out
Can you hit me with the stuff you found about pushing it through ADB? My efforts have been less than fruitful on that front. I'd rather be armed with as much information as possible.

[FIX] Are You Stuck on a Boot Loop to Recovery and cant find a fix?

So like many, I took a stupid OTA on one of the roms (CleanROM) and got stuck in recovery boot loop. I tried all the methods I could find on xda but none worked. I then started reading all the way through threads and found the fix... wish they would update the original posts... so for those in this same predicament, here is how I fixed it so you don't have to read through everything.
so the FULL ADB method code looks like this:
Code:
adb shell
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota of=/sdcard/fota-backup.img
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/misc
exit
adb reboot
I of course take no responsibility if this doesn't work for you. I got the original and extra code in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2451696 and all true credit goes to them. I'm simply putting ALL the information in the one original post of this thread in hopes of saving someone else a lot of time trying to find that extra line of code burried in the other thread.
I ended up doing this as well and now have my phone back. My problem now is that I have the notification of that update and I can't get it to go away.

I personally switched to a ROM that was already based on the update. I haven't looked but I'm sure there is a way to turn them off.

You can get rid of the notification by freezing the "Software Updater" app in Titanium Backup.

What ROM did you end up going with? Each time I try a ROM the WiFi calling does not work and in my area I have to use that more than I would like.
This is almost an exact repost of the other bootloop fix.

Agreed, which is why I said that the other thread is where I found the fix... but the original post in that thread didn't actually offer a fix when I got stuck in the loop. As a result I spent a lot of time trying other attempts to fix as well as combing through threads before finally finding the extra line of code to make it work.
So I posted a new thread so that someone else doesn't have to waste their time like I did trying to find a fix.

I'm using this rom currently: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2595586 as I too need the WiFi Calling feature.
If you are on a T-mobile based rom, the way to 'freeze' the update is different than the others.
T-mobile roms use 'Google Services Framework' for the update, and obviously you can't freeze that app.
So, what you do is d/l a program called 'Autorun Manager'. Then inside that program, scroll down to 'Google Services Framework' and disable 1 receiver.
The one you want to disable is called 'com.google.gsf.update.SytemUpdateService$Receiver' Just disable that (by unchecking it) and then reboot. You will not receive a notification to update ever again.
Also, go into the folder /cache and delete the FOTA d/l. You will need R/W permissions in the root directory to do this. So use whichever file manager you prefer for that.
The FOTA d/l is easy to spot, it's a 150mb approximately zip file with a bunch of chars and should be the only file in that directory. There are a few folders as well, but, ignore them and just delete the 1 file.
I'm in the same situation - reverted back to stock rooted with twrp recovery and now boot back to recovery. I haven's used adb much, but do know how to open the cmd window in the adb directory on my computer and it appears I'm connected to my d800. However, when I run the adb devices command I see the device code and recovery listed. When I type the first line of the code in the first post, adb shell, I get ~ # ←[6n and can't type in any additional commands.
Am I missing a step - or just not understanding the process??
UPDATE - Nevermind - I just typed in the command dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota using TWRP's Terminal Command and the phone booted right up to Clean Rom.
Thanks vegasdavek for your repost on this fix!

[RESOLVED] Formatted Factory - Lost IMEI - Please Help!

Hi, apparently some genius developing CWM decided it would be fun to allow the factory partition to be formatted with the newest versions of CWM (I'm on 6.0.4.6). Well guess what, I managed to format it on my GNex (it's quite easy to do actually).
Anyways, I've lost my IMEI data and unable to access mobile network (data connectivity is fine, however, surprisingly). Somebody please help me restore my IMEI because I don't have a nandroid backup either.
Thanks a lot!
Deleted, did a search on IMEI and found a bunch of threads. Reading them now...

Paul how did you manage to mess up your phone? Was it the same way I did? The thing is, all is not lost, I'm absolutely certain of that. It's not a brick until it absolutely and completely refuses to power up...
@osm0sis, can you please help me out here? I know there was even an IMEI changing tool but most probably considered illegal or something by the "powers that be" and hence removed most likely. I just need my original phone IMEI back, that's all. Thanks a lot!

I think I screwed up and flashed my phone with the wrong image (LTE instead of CDMA) that wiped the factory info and all the attempts I have tried do not do anything to get the phone back. I have a nice tablet that just upgraded to 4.3 via WiFi since it isn't on the Verizon network.

i don't have a prior nandroid either

Problem solved. Took it to repair shop and got it fixed. Everyone that helped or tried to help, thanks a lot! Mods please close thread, thanks!
I was thinking more along the lines of restoring a backup and grabbing what you need to fix Factory from Radio, which was detailed a couple of times.

Not CWM's fault, though I definitely understand your sentiment. But "with great power.."
I make damn sure I know what I'm pressing Yes on when I'm wiping.

anyways, I was just browsing through my phone with root explorer and with twrp's file manager and surprisingly there's no efs folder there! is that normal?
i've taken a twrp nandroid backup to include efs as well but i'm thinking to take a raw backup as well as described here. i've also copied the /factory and /data/radio folders.
i was wondering whether flashing a stock samsung ROM might result in the creation of the efs folder? on yakju 4.2.2 stock google image right now...
Nah efs is the partition but it's mounted to /factory :good:

That's great thanks!., I'll clean flash 4.3 yakju in a day or two and see if the IMEI sticks after the wipes. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to backup using EFS Commander or the terminal/shell commands (got error both ways) so I'm hoping the TWRP backup (without MD5) and manual file copy should be sufficient insurance...

Sprint LG G2 Boot looping

hello,
This morning i was using my phone like every day, but i notice that i had no signal so i decided to restart the phone. When it restarted out of nowhere the phone started to boot loop.. i didnt do anything for it to start doing that.. after a long while trying to fix it i gave up and got into recovery and decided to clean install the rom. It did install but after 1 minute of being on the screen it would boot loop.. I download it the same rom and installed it and still kept doing the same thing.. i had a back up so i decided to install it which i did but again after 40 seconds of start up it would boot loop.. finally, i decided to use the LG Flash tool TWICE and it did work but again after a little while the phone turns off and on.. idk what lese to do??? any ideas?
Check if it displays your IMEI in the Settings. If not you should check if you've got a EFS Backup.

OHH wow!! so im basically stock with a brand new phone that boots on and off ..Wow.. well if you ever find an answer can you please share it with me!!! thank you in advance.
I have no idea what kind of backup you are talking about but could we use it from another G2?
Maybe this will help you find out what a EFS-Backup is:

I've seen the question somewhere else (to use a backup from another g2) and they said, that it will boot but don't login into the network, cause you'll get a IMEI with 00000 or something like this.
Don't know a answer. I think I must send my G2 to LG and pay a lot of money IF they'll fix it.

OHH i see what you mean... I have added EFS backup to the IOroot scripts so that everyone that roots will have a copy of their EFS partitions on the computer you run IOroot from. Regardless, this current thread will still be a good "heads up" and an alternative for those who insist on using other shady root methods or for those who just want another way to back things up.
I did use IOroot, does that mean that if i connect it to the computer and try to root it again it would fix it? you think???

In the Thread is a step-by-step tutorial how to restore EFS-Files. Make a Backup of these 2 files before you root your phone again! Don't know, if those 2 files got overwritten (maybe with the damaged data) when you root your phone again.
Fixed my phone
