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!

same problem here
Same problem here using stock rom and no root.
Phone reboot after a few seconds and no signal, no IMEI.
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

Since IMEI spoofing is illegal in most country, the IMEI is most likely encrypted. I don't know how it is input on the Optimus G, but I had an issue back with my Galaxy S, and let me tell you, just hope you have a backup!!

JTAG is a tool, made by RIFF, not just a software.Any respectable gsm service has one.Rewriting software with JTAG costs between 10 and 20 euros,depending on the phone.At least here in Romania it costs this much.Don't know other countries.
Bottom line, writing the IMEI it's not a DIY job.it can be done only with proper tools,on a specialised center.
I think there would be another way,but i'm not sure, you need to talk to shelnutt or autoprime to confirm or not.
If the EFS backup from other phone can be decompiled,and the IMEI section is find,change the existing imei on that backup with yours, recompile and restore it with freegeee.i repeat,this is just a theory.
Another question,what method did you use to unlock bootloader?

You can try it, but most likely not.
You would need to decrypt the file, replace with your IMEI and encrypt it. copy it and it "would" work, theorically.
OR, you could call your provider and ask them if they can do it. Might not be worth the hassle!

Yes I can resolve sending the phone in service...But my wife told me "don't to do that""
For me will a victory if I rewrite my Imei because in the future i will change new rom... and want learn how to...
how I can enter in Diag Mode?
you're not sending it for waranty, the "waranty" was void when you changed the rom. If your provider gets to know that they will void it "officialy".
You may contact the service to know if they can rewrite an EMEI, and ask them how much they charge for it.
The FIRST thing you should do before installing a custom rom is a backup of the EFS partition:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2161611
or, if you have installed freeGee, you might already have a backup in the FreeGee folder in img format
If not, then you will need to open thoses .img, edit them with your IMEI and reflash them
Not that easy.i didn't find any tool to decompile those images into workable stuff.like i said,maybe you will find more help on irc channel.asking will not hurt

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 :

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.

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.

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?
Hello, this is really weird. In fact, when I insert the SIM to my Note 2 N7100 and turn it on, it allows me to make emergency call, but I cannot use it to make any others and it doesn't show the carrier name (it shows Emergency call only). And when I try to use it to make normal phone calls, it says that I am not registered to a mobile network. I try to factory reset my phone, but the problem remains. I then try to remove the SIM card, and it says that I need to insert a SIM card (that means that it is not a hardware problem since it recognizes the card). I then try to go to the mobile network setting to try to connect to the network manually, it connects me but it shows me a warning which says that the mobile network service is not available (and the Emergency call only label remains). However, I am sure that this is not the problem of the card neither since when I insert the card to my Moto MB860, I can make calls as usual. So, what is the problem ??? It seems to me that the problem happens spontaneously since it works perfectly until yesterday. And all other wireless function works fine including wifi , Bluetooth and GPS and the only thing goes wrong is 3g and 2g.
Additional information:
ROM: Omega v.16
Carrier: Fido Canada (as you can see)
Thanks.
What comes to my mind at first that something wrong with your sim card but if you insist that everything is ok with your card so I don't know what to suggest to you. Is it not related with your Omega ROM?

It does seem to be Efs related. Did u downgrade from the latest firmware ? Check these links-

Yes, I did downgrade from v17 back to 16 since something went wrong with Poweramp but I forgot that if I selected for the efs backup or not since I (stupidly) didn't think that efs is important...:banghead:

Do some basic troubleshooting:
Does the IMEI number from dialling *#06# match the one on the sticker?
If the answer to this is yes: Then you should contact your carrier as it sounds like your IMEI might have been blacklisted (often if a phone is reported stolen)
If the answer is no: Then you need to fix your IMEI so it matches as it should. This would usually be done by restoring your EFS backup. I suggest restoring a totally stock Firmware if they don't match and you don't have an EFS backup. But you should have one somewhere, surely? Every tutorial out there tells you to back it up...
Good luck.

Thanks for replying, I should have a backup, but it probably be the wrong one. Anyway I will go for a full stock restore since I have the firmware with me now.

Do you mean the one in the About Device ==> Status? In fact, the IMEI from the dialing does match the one in About Device ==> Status. However, I don't get your instruction since if in the case where IMEI from the setting matches the one on the dialer means that my phone is reported to be stolen, then why I have to make the IMEI in the setting and the one shown in the dialer the same?

No, when I say "The one on the sticker" I, strangely enough, mean the one on the sticker.
Take off your battery and the phone will have a sticker/label with the IMEI on it. Verify that number matches.

Thanks for your clearification No, it wasn't.:good: Then, I need to flash a stock firmware via Odin, right? In addition, when they say stock firmware, they mean the one that is on sammobile.com, right? In other words, if I have a Hong Kong version of GT-N7100, the file from this link (http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=15126) would be the correct one, isn't?

That's correct, yes. It doesn't actually matter which N7100 image you flash, but if you have a Hong Kong version you might as well flash that image. Just make sure you don't have a N7105 (the LTE/Dual Carrier version) - flashing A N7105 to an N7100 (or the other way around) is a recipe for major disaster.
Flashing the image should fix the problem, but it also depends. If the EFS is really totally corrupt, it won't help, you need to have that EFS backup or take the phone to someone who can repair it for you. There are specialist tools to repair EFS, but they cost quite a bit of money. Most reliable phone unlocking places should have something that can help you.
Anyway, hopefully restoring to stock will fix the problem.
Good luck.

Thanks for information, but how do I know that if the EFS is "totally" corrupt, "partially" corrupt, or not corrupt at all? In fact, I never touch the EFS in the root. Also, as I am not quite sure that if I have any previous EFS(S) backup or not, so, if possible, where does the backup(s) most likely to be found?
If you haven't taken an EFS backup yourself, then you won't have any.
I don't know the difference between corruption levels either, all I know is I've read a number of forum posts where someone has reflashed stock and their EFS data (i.e. the right IMEI number) is back. So I'd consider that to be a partial corruption. Others have flashed back to stock and it's still a bogus IMEI
Basically, flash back to stock. If it doesn't work, you'll have to take it in for repair.
UPDATE: Please read on - this information is incorrect - it is possible to recover with the correct modem flashed.
Before doing the flash with Odin, do I have to perform a factory reset? Since all the app data and homescreen layout remains the same after the reboot and the IMEI is also the same as before. And is it normal that my device got unrooted after flashing the stock firmware?
NOTE: The information from me in this post below is wrong

It's normal your device got unrooted, yes. If your IMEI is still the same after ODIN and stock flash, then you have major issues (sorry!)
Doing a factory reset etc won't help. Your /efs partition is either gone or corrupt.
What IMEI does *#06# show?

Hi everyone!
I need help again, I flashed Vanir ROM (http://www.emccann.net/nuclearmistake/VanirAOSPNightlies/geehrc/) but it didnt work, so I flashed it back to Cyanogenmod 11 but forgot to put the sim card back during flashing, but the thing is, after i put the SIM back after flsahing, the SIM card is being detected (it says "No Service - Globe" [Globe is the name of my provider]) but there is no signal. I tried reflashing back to stock ROM... then restored EFS backups... its still not working ("Service Disabled"). I even did a complete wipe, including system folder and reflashing to stock ROM... but its still not working.
Also I tried playing adb earlier because i tried copy/pasting a rom to my phone. i tried adb kill-server, then adb start-server, adb usb, adb devices... did something on these commands affected this issue?

for LG E975 original Firmware i gues its from US version...... unlocked already via some tools from Google.
then suddenly after i-flash for another firmware lost my entire signal... please help to came baclk my signal.
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.
