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

How did you fix your phone???
Guide
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.

Thanks for the reply, I'm deliberating whether I should do this or not because mine is E988. Also, I can't find a TOT for my model although I have read that there is one out there

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 guide that you posted is showing only for sprint LG Optimus G and not for a LG Optimus G Pro. Do you think you can do a step-by-step guide for people like myself who has the missing IMEI number issue?

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.

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

hi,
i downloaded the "Baseband" for my F180l, because i cant get any network access with the E975 Firmware F EU/GER. The Baseband didnt change but i lost the IMEI, after flashing the E875F again i received back my IMEI but i dont get any connection at all.
APQ8064/MDM9x15M
before and after it was the same...
what shall i do?
Steps i followed:
First: Root, Enable USB Debugging, Download this file:https://www.dropbox.com/s/e8vses1vqza04l3/BaseBandF180L.rar
2. Copy this baseband.img to Internal Storage (/sdcard)
3. Run file flash_baseband.bat
4. Follow the guild.
5. Your phone will reboot and finish!
got the same baseband as before...
thanks
anybody?
this exact same problem led my F180s to a deadboot after trying many other hit-or-miss solutions. my find is a corrupt EFS file among other possibilities. did u back up your EFS files before? if not, see an expert tech for help.
you have one of those Korean versions right?

yes but i will return it back because it took too long for delivery. I bought an Optimus G Pro
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 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

The Sprint ZVC 4.4.2 .TOT is now available on the Codefire servers. TOT is used along with a .dll in LG Flash to install the stock firmware. Running this WILL erase your data including whatever is on the internal SD card.
I had to pay for this.. so donations are welcomed :highfive:
TOT (ZVC zip.. unzip it FOOL!) and .DLL can be found HERE.
Guide to use this can be found HERE. Yes, it's for Verizon but it can be loosely followed.. just replace the verizon stuff with the Sprint files.

Noob question: If I use this TOT to upgrade my ZV7 to ZVC, can I downgrade it back to ZV7 using ZV7 TOT? Asking since I use the permanent unlock and if it does not work on ZVC, I will have to downgrade it.

I have not done it, but I believe others have confirmed you can still downgrade.
Permanent GSM unlock will be erased if you use flash tool.
I took the OTA without root with stock recovery without GSM unlock.
Managed to root using ioroot25, flashed CDMA on NV got data for CDMA, then tried the unlock for GSM. Did not work. Now after messing around I managed to unlock GSM with data. Also found that it's either GSM or CDMA. Both for now will not work together like before.

Unrelated to the update by phone decided to brick itself while doing a backup.
I decided to go ahead and do the upgrade while I am restoring. I can get into download mode, but my computer can no see it. Installed Drivers already, just does not show up in device manager.
Anyone have any ideas on how I can get this going?
Is there a version that won't wipe all data from the phone? i made a backup but forgot to drop box it so now i need to save that if possible and then restore the firmware

Change the port number for the device in the Microsoft device manager...I can't remember if it is port 41 or port 43. Give both a try!

It is port 41, but I can not change it as Windows doesn't recognize that a device has been plugged in at all.
New to TOT and LG in general, would I be able to use this to come from ZV8? I assume that TOT's completely redo everything so it doesn't matter (to a degree) what's on it before (except in the case of downgrading). Thanks!

Try different drivers. I had to use the TOT method found here and it worked for me with no issues. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476
This worked where the modified OTA failed. I did need to unplug and re-attach the phone after the driver sorted itself out.
Thank you!
Hope someone makes a flashable pre rooted ROM.zip from this.

so if I flash to zvc, knowing the unlock will be erased, then root the phone using ioroot 25, follow the steps of permanent unlock, will it work on GSM again?

TOT (zvc .zip.. unzip it fool!) and .dll can be found HERE.
Guide to use this can be found HERE. Yes, it's for Verizon but it can be loosely followed.. just replace the verizon stuff with the Sprint files.

what's the MD5/SHA1 sum for the TOT so I can be sure my download is good?
Wonder if this happened to anyone else. First I installed the LGFlashTool 1.8, then set my clock to 4/1/2012 and opened LGFlashTool. It says something about LG FLASH TOOL ERROR LG USB/PARELLEL. went ahead anyway and selected the .dll and .tot files and changed all the ports per instructions. Long story short, the files flashed but showed failed at 94% but phone had booted to accessibility settings and was talking to me in the weird robotic voice. I went ahead and disconnected and set up phone then rooted with ioroot25. all seems to ok but I wonder if the fail is going to be a problem somewhere down the line. I have not noticed any problems. Any suggestions?
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.

1)What do you mean permanently locked...carrier/sim, mcafee security, something else? If it's carrier you can order a sim unlock code off of ebay for @$4.00 us, or use any other sim unlock services out there.
2)If you changed a d851 to a d850 using board diag and manually loading the partitions - then why not extract a d851 tot and do the same thing?

1) I don't know of a free way to get an unlock code, so if you can't order one you're probably stuck. Pay a friend who can order one for you?
2) If we're on the same page here and you previously used the board diag tool then that should work again. Hard brick usually shows up in your device manager as qualcomm 9008 instead of an lg device, so to get back to that condition you would have to open the phone up and short a pin -
follow the guide in the link I posted before and you should be good to go. I don't have links for any d851 tot files though...sorry, not my variant.

Unfortunately...I think so. If you were to try and use the lg flash tool and try and tot a d851 file into a d850 it'll probably throw some errors - model check, for ex - and won't flash. You can try and see for yourself if you'd like...here's a link for a couple tools; the 1st is kdz method, second is tot: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2785089
To brick it again follow guide I linked( https://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-lg-g3/general/guide-fix-hard-brick-recovery-guide-t3132359), short that 2nd jtag pin in the pic for @5 seconds, plug in the usb, and it should go to qualcomm 9008. You already know how to do the rest as far as loading partitions and such, and if you don't the guide will tell you what to do.
Good luck :good:

Yeah....and?
Re-read your previous post where you asked if you'll have to brick it again.
I said yes, and gave you a link on how to do it. Did you read the link? My guess would be no, since the 1st 4 steps tell you how to brick it and enter qualcomm9008 mode.
You're on your own now. Good luck. And you're welcome for the time I spent trying to help you.

It's cool. Yes the guide is for already bricked phones, but what I was trying to say is since you have a functional phone rt now you're gonna have to brick it, and by brick it I mean qualcomm9008 mode, and that's what the 1st part of the guide shows you how to do by shorting out the pin. Once you get to Qualcomm mode you can then use the board diag tool and load your partitions that you extracted from the tot and hopefully get back to your original d851 phone and get back up and running. Does that make more sense?
Again...good luck

I hard bricked it again and then extracted another D851 tot and then loaded all the necessary partitions but the phone still on qload mode i copied the sbl1.mbm of the D850 and tried them with D851 partitions the phone revived but not in download mode.
I managed tp recover all partitions and the phone is on dowloading mode but still detected as d850 so i have the dll cross error everytime i try to flash a rom even with using the custon dll file.
