That error isn't important, unless you're trying to load something from a device connected via OTG cable. It's just letting you know that it's not finding the OTG storage, so if you need it you know to look into that. Flash the latest TWRP from Odin. Boot to recovery and factory reset, no Odin doesn't wipe. Then flash stock with Odin. See if you can boot and sit without looping. Don't screw with it, just let it sit for a bit and settle. Just watch for 5min or so to see if it loops. It's probably bad data and factory reset will fix it. The stock flash it just to make sure you have a known good base. If it doesn't loop in 5min or so, it's probably fine. If it does, try getting a logcat. There's not much anyone can do to help without more information at that point.
No signal and baseband unknown could be a corrupted EFS. You DID back that up didn't you? Does the IEMI show in the settings? Try booting without a SIM. If that's the problem, it might help.

How did you back it up? TWRP should be able to restore it if you used that. If not, I would need to find the partition number and you would use dd to write it. I've never had to mess with it on the Note 3. What's the filename of your backup file? You might need to decompress it first.

i used the efs backup tool posted somewhere here i also did a backup with a diferent tool the firstone gave me a efs.zip that contains a efs.raw.img and also a efs.tar files is that what i need ? i did the backup when everything was working normal

ill try anything you can help with even if it doesnt work or ends up on a hard brick would you be able to help me via teamviewer?

Can you hook the phone up to kies and do a restore that way? Just give it your serial number and it does the rest. It will restore all partitions including your efs. Have restored a couple friends phones this way which appeared to be unrecoverable in one way or another....

I'm almost for a loss as my understanding when using kies it re writes all partitions of the phone. I've restored a couple phones that way for friends that were completely borked. 'Missing imei etc.'
It asked for the serial number and showed successful when done?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28113616&postcount=14
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?

[Q] No Imei and "baseband unknown" Please help! Really weird!

So, this is a long process I've been through-- First thanks so much for just taking the time to read this and any input would be awesome
I tried to flash a new slimkat 4.4.2 rom today and it flashed fine came up had service all was well except I think i did it as a "dirty" flash. I don't want to think any errors possible would be from that so i immediately did a "clean" flash and wiped everything except external sd-card in TWRP
Rebooted and noticed i didn't have any signal or data. First thought was modem so I started flashing MJ4 and reboot, nothing, so I flashed MK6 and reboot, nothing, so i changed to CWM recovery and flashed them, nothing, then at this point i just want a phone back doesn't even matter so i always seem to have several ROMS on my phone so i flashed another Sky Note 4.3 and reloaded nothing... So i started really wondering now and looking at my baseband to see what it said and noticed "Unkown Baseband" and Imei "unkown" (All while at work) So I came home did a little research while trying various other roms and none worked. So I read one way is to use Kies and do a "firmware upgrade initialisation"
Now it rebooting and completed going back to 4.1.2 CAMA4 and i still have nothing.. So I flashed UCALJ modem (Which should work as well) and I still have no data or signal because of unknown IMEI and Baseband. I don't really care about using triangle away or not, but i can get around and flash roms and everything thats what I don't understand.
Oh I did use CF-autoroot to install TWRP to install the modem as a .zip
Any ideas I would love you forever!!!

Lesson learned... no backup

I'm going to try and repair (backup and re-put) my EFS folder there, but how do i tell if its a complete EFS folder or if it is damaged? On the note 2 ATT is there a way to manually put in your IMEI? or reasons why this couldn't be my problem please

Last time this happened to me, a very long night, I had a guru on hangouts with me and we tried everything we could think of..
Only thing that got me back was a restore of an old backup, as a wild ass last resort.... Lost my mind when it worked
This problem is not weird, unfortunately it's common.
Starting surfing for your error and read read read.... I've had a long fricking day ..
Like a maniac I'm trying to port over a 7100 ROM.. I get that error also.
Only thing that gets it back is restoring a backup rom that had an efs backup in it.

In my EFS folder i can't find any .nv_**** files so I'm assuming they are gone and I don't have a back-up. I've been reading and reading with nothing coming out of it other then how to fix it on alot of other samsung phones. I can't seem to find a way to re-build and manually enter my own IMEI (because i know the IMEI) Driving me nuts!! but thanks for your reply

EFS folder anyone?
Any chance i can get a copy of someones EFS folder so that i can edit the .nv_data and add my IMIE? Please of a ATT Note 2
Thanks so much and just PM link

Sadly no...
It is both illegal...and unethical for someone to give you a copy of an EFS folder...
It contains the user data and carrier information for the device...making the folder private...and unique to it's owner ....g

I have done official firmware and over odin and before that Kies recovery. Also, knew it wasn't smart but didn't know it was illegal.
Any idea's for programs that will scan for deleted folders? or other ways to re-build EFS or .nvdata?

I was going to try this but didn't have to because I found a backup with my efs. I was going to try putting a new sim in and see if phone would see it and rebuild.
Actually was going to pull the sim out of my wife's note 2 and try it.

So I tried from my wifes sim today with no avail. Still don't have my phone and wondering if there is any way to recover it? Do i try to set it back to stock everything fix the flash counter then call samsung? I don't think its under warranty anymore since i've had it for almost 2 years. I know its a long shot but I wonder if taking it to one of those "cell phone repair" places would be any help? I'm out of options and actually had to drop back to my old HTC Inspire

Yea, the sim deal was to simple to work...
So never heard I don't think. What were you on before you flashed slimkat? Did you do the 4.3 OTA update?

Have you tried flashing an original rom with the Pit file? That's your last resort, EFS is unique to each phone by using someone's else's this is illegal as your modifying the IMEI. I've had efs issues in the past but always had a backup to hand. Try flashing everything with a pit file if that doesn't work then you will have to take it in for repair, Samsung official could do it but don't know what they will charge as it's out of warranty or maybe a local phone repair shop could do it or someone with jtag services can do it perhaps too.

Thanks so much for the help!! I'm just worried that its not going to fix it and only make it worse possibly. I can't find how to pull my PIT file to analyze it so my next option is... Call a professional tomorrow... I'm going to call because apparently a "Z3X box" will fix my phone in like 3 minutes. I will post back though letting people know in the future whether they can or not. Because of legal reasons I don't know if they can even write my own IMEI back to the device. Will post back though regardless after tomorrow when I call them.

This happened to me a while back and I just flashed back to stock using Odin and all was fine

GREAT NEWS!
So I got desperate and realized this was going to take a professional. I called around to my local "cell phone repair" shops that really only know how to change the screen and asked about recovering the EFS file. It started out: "Hi can I talk with someone knowledgeable about the Android file system?" and every time the person said they were an "expert" So I said "I deleted or corrupted my EFS file and I need a repair for it" and EVERY time they told me they had no clue what I was talking about. I read and read everything I could find on the internet and most pointed me to some international "send you phone here" and of course I'm very skeptical of shipping my phone just about anywhere. So I found a person in the US at mobiletechvideos.com and looked him up with the BBB and found reviews from multiple sources.
I can say mobiletechvideos.com is legit and awesome! Josh fixed my phone and repaired the IMEI in less the 10 minutes remotely. I have my note 2 back! Please do not hesitate to give this guy a try he is legit and really down to earth guy. This thread can end here because whatever he did I have no clue but it worked!
Also a lot cheaper then I though it was going to be

Please help!! Att g4 broken!

Sorry if this is in the wrong place.
I messed up my phone cause I'm not very smart and do not know what to do. I have an ATT LG G4 H810g rooted with LER. I foolishly froze my systemui in TIT BACKUP when freezing LG apps and when my phone rebooted I was stuck in a loop with Unfortunately Stystemui has stopped and my phone wouldn't let me do anything.
SO I tried to a system restore (not sure if I should have done this on rooted image) my phone restored and got me to the setup screen but when I tried to finish the process, I get a crash that says Unfortunately LG Setup Wizard has stopped (assuming its a app I froze with TIT BACKUP). So my phone is not unusuable and not sure what to do.
I tried to reflash rooted 10g image with LER but the same thing happens after its done with the Setup wizard failing.
PLEASE HELP how can I fix my phone?
Thanks.

Something similar happened to me and my setup wizard would fail in an endless loop. Had to go to AT&T and get a replacement.

Also...
Adding to my stupidity, I don't have stock image on my phone, so even though I downloaded the stock 10g, my computer won't recognize my phone Im assuming since usb debugging cannot be selected.

No, they wont know since it won't boot anyway. They will see the setup wizard fail and won't be able to troubleshoot it any further and will give you a new one. At my repair center they said it's not a phone they stock and had to mail me one so be prepared for that.

yup...a couple times, even reflashed the rooted 10g image, still fails, i froze the setup wizard with tit backup (didnt realize i needed it) and now the phone endlessly loops the setup screen and wont let me into the phone, nothing works, cant enable usb debugging to add stock image to internal storage to flash, cant do anything, keeps looping.

Definitely just do a warranty claim. The exact same thing happened to me with the setup wizard... it sucks!

A possibility is to kdz an uprooted version of the 10g image so the titanium will no longer have root. If that doesn't work I think there is an option in the kdz method to erase data, which should erase all the apps.

no kdz for ATT, only TOT which is unavailable, my thought was to put a stock image on internal storage, but since phone is now restored, cant access usb debugging, so computer wont read phone.

A KDZ would be very very helpful... if there were any available for the AT&T variant. Currently there are none so this isn't an option.

Yes you can but you won't ever be able to come back to AT&T firmware and thus won't receive any AT&T OTAs (if you care about them). You will be stuck on the PR firmware and will have to wait until updated KDZs for PR are available to update to newer firmware. I chose not to go with this because of the OTAs.

Another option then is to find an unrooted system image of the AT&T g4 h10g and flash it like you would the rooted system image. Just make sure you change the name of the image file in the command to the name of the image. Then try a phone restore after that.

Can you not just put the file on sdcard and use that?
Dont have my g4 yet so im not sure.

Need help unlocking AT&T Calypso (U318AA)

Hello Everyone,
Today a friend gave me a phone that I would like to use, but it has a screen lock passcode on it that she doesn't know. The phone was given to her, but she couldn't use because it's AT&T and she is on T-Mobile so she passed it on to me. I checked the IMEI number on several sites and it's clean so i shouldn't have any issues. Is there a way I can remove the passcode from this phone?
My apologies if this is in the wrong section.

Hi, do you still have the phone on you? I've basically hard brick mine and now I need a full mtk dump to get it back as it was. so if you do, can you upload this files? don't worry if you don't know how to do that, I can walk you through the process

i can help you , if your device still soft break

it is, I think the problem is with the super image but I'm not 100% sure. so if you can share a full mtk client backup it would be awesome. if not, a super image will do

your device stuck on logo ? or deadboot ?

every time I try to turn it on it bootloops to fastboot mode, I suspect that the issue is a super image I found online, flashed not knowing that it was corrupted (which I discovered later), and I foolishly didn't create a backup (why I went and downloaded the corrupted image in the first place) thinking that I will never go back to the stock rom but now after I have used a couple gsi's for a while found out that the og rom performance was much better and decided to go back

so this is just a bunch of .bin files that I have to flash using mtk client to said partitions? just making sure

and just to let you know I might not be able to download the file today, the internet is pretty sucky where I'm rn, so I hope you don't have a problem keeping the file up till tomorrow. and just wanted to thank you for the incredible help, I've been trying to fix this phone for the last two weeks which was headache inducing say the least.

you can flash this with lots of free tools .. if secure boot on you can't flash directly but i will help you . you just need to share your screen with me ..

sorry for the late response, but yeah I've flashed all of the files using mtkclient and it didn't work Idk if I have messed things up, I thought reflashing all of the stock firmware would fix everything but it seems that there's still something wrong

I've unlocked the bootloader and disabled boot verification, tried fastboot -w and fastboot format userdata and non of it worked, and I'm really sorry but I can't share my screen because as I've mentioned before my internet is bad and I had to go somewhere else to get the files. can I share anything else with you that might help, I have some recovery log files

IT WORKED!!!!! I don't know what was the problem, I've tried flashing the files again but this time using the terminal instead of the gui AND IT WORKED. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

I'm going to upload the files later in case someone else encountered the same problem
