hello all
this is my first post, lamentabemente not very encouraging, I have a lg optimus g f180s! I'm from Ecuador and EBAY buy it.
The phone came with software version 4.0.4 f180s10h, so I go to xda and find, you can update the software in the same way that my previous lg nitro hd, ie via kdz ...
I proceed to download the file f180s20b, located on the xda page, and installed correctly.
Upon restart my phone was all perfect except:
It does not recognize the sim card
Does not display the IMEI (unknown), or the IMEI SV (unknown).
The baseban number :APQ8064/MDM9x15M
Done everything I'm desperate and can not find a solution to this problem, your help please!

Did you back it up first? if so restore it, if not you might have to reflash the previous version.

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.

Don't flash korean modem on e975. You might brick your device.

You need your imei because it`s how a network carrier checks that you are using the sim card in that phone
Imei
Please tell me what to do. I have my imei (wrote it down before upgrade), but how can I create a backup of efs. I read about freegee, but - if I'm not mistaken - I need to make it work 3G/LTE, then make a backup of efs.
Please write me a tutorial what to do.

Dear Kimitza,
Looks like You are some kind of expert of this, and probably speak better english than me, but I'm still a human. Unfortunately not as smart as You. 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. Maybe You can't help me, maybe You don't know the solution for my problem.
I hope someone will be kind and help me out.

Your problem would've not appear in the first place if you would've used this forum. Don't get me wrong, it's your money and your phone,you can do whatever you like/want with it.All i'm saying is don't complain here about the answer you get because you screw up.
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?
I successfully flashed the Panama Stock 980H ROM, and I am going to root.
If FreeGee doesn't support it, can I push CWM via ADB?
I haven't done it, but I know it can be done on some devices. Has anyone done in on the LG OG Pro?
FWIW, the data DOES throttle correctly when not using the AT&T modem! (success)
I'm running the Panama Rom on my e980 AT$T and have CWM installed via freegee....:what:

It just says my software is not supported.
Edit: I didn't know you didn't have to disable the security to install CWM.
It worked without doing so!

Hi there all, want to first say thanks to all the devs and everyone on this board for all the cool work with LG phones. I'm new to AT&T (from Sprint) and GSM phones after 6 years of HTC phones and roms. Right now I'm on the trial period trying to decide if I will keep this E980 or return it and go with the HTC One, but I really like having the micro sd card over no sd card slot with the HTC One. Anyhow I wanted to post my rookie questions here because I am stuck, looked around and read everything but still unable to get CWM installed.
So far I have
1. Successfully flashed the Panama Stock 980H ROM
2. Successfully rooted
3. Installed FreeGee pro tried clicking unlock "sorry your varient is not supported" when I click install recovery I get FC, tried again this time selecting do not disable LG security, same thing FC? So my question is what dumb thing am I doing wrong, I have to be missing some detail right? Thanks
EDIT: Must of had a bad install the first time, uninstalled, reinstalled, installed CMW no more FC's or errors

Don't try to disable security. Everything else works. Just say I decline or No or whatever.
I believe the Freegee servers are down at the moment. I was unable to install any recoveries yesterday. But the developer is working to update it, so I expect all will be fine soon.
Regarding the unlocking process: From CWM, you should be able to restore an AT&T stock rom back up. Then you can unlock and try your luck with AOSP roms.
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!

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

Q&A for [EFS] LG G3 EFS Backup and Restore
Some developers prefer that questions remain separate from their main development thread to help keep things organized. Placing your question within this thread will increase its chances of being answered by a member of the community or by the developer. Thanks for understanding and for helping to keep XDA neat and tidy! :smile:
Anyone verify if that LG IMEI backup app worked the same way? I flashed the zip with flashify and it worked fine.
I made a restore before flashig a rom, then I found out that my IMEI numbers where 0 and no signal. Now im trying to restore but after restore it just boots up in TWRP again. I flashed the zip file and restored again... did not help. Am I doing it wrong?
Backup Verification?
Is this all you need for EFS restore on the G3? I used the manual method through cmd terminal/adb on my pc and successfully created the two files. Can someone explain to a noob how I can verify that it was successful, i.e. a way to check the two .img files that were generated? Thanks in advance.

How to check if EFS is still on my device?
Hi guys, I'm an owner of a new LG G3.
Now I have a problem. I went to TWRP, deleted EVERYTHING in the wipe menu, without backing up EFS. Then I installed ChupaChups 2. with the ChupaChups skin and SuperSU 2.37. Now I don't know if I lost EFS or how to check if it's still on the device. Because in the settingsmenu "about phone" I can still see my IMEI and data seems to work fine, at least on 2/3g. Can somebody tell me how to check on this?
Someting odd at last, I experience Bluetooth-hickups with the rom, anybody can confirm this?
Thank you so much for your help, I'm a bit desperate here because I don't know if I really just destroyed my phone and I am hoping I'm able to restore to stock.

Hello,
It depends what you have in mind when you say "my info". If it is precious personal data, and you don't have a copy on another media, this is not too good. :-/ . If it is about the operating system and it's features, I have read that flashing back to stock rom is possible, as LG provides them in their Open Source section.
/Edit: ddaypunk06 I can't answer to the new content of your post. Someone else will.
I am interested in making a back up of my EFS folder, but I'm not rooted. I read here :http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/efs-lg-g3-efs-backup-restore-t2907329 that it can also be done using 4 ADB commands. Is it still necessary to be rooted to use the ADB commands ? by the way I'm on V20f.

Hi,
As I understand things, the 4 ADB commands mentioned are meant to root the phone. From this part of this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/root-root-lg-g3-easily-purpledrake-lite-t2821000
But, what if I don't want to run your script to root?
Well then, I'd be a little hurt, but you can still do everything the script does manually.
Download the package, and extract it. Open a terminal in the main folder of the archive and run these commands:
Code:
adb reboot --bnr_recovery
adb push ./assets/start_restore /temp/start_restore
adb push ./assets/permaroot.bin /temp/start_restore
adb reboot
That will perma-root you, however there's no protection from doing something stupid or the phone being incompatible. Please be careful!
Click to expand...

So be it with 4 ADB commands or with the help of the DrakePurple-Lite script, you need to be root in the filesystem of your phone, if you want to be able to perform administration tasks.
So how I understand things, you can't access to the said files: the 2 parts of the bootloader, if you are not root in the Android operating system. Please see here:

EFS Backup:
Backup EFS after jailbreaking your G3. EFS is split into 2 partitions modemst1 and modemst2.
img files will be on root of internal sdcard. Save the .img files somewhere else besides the sdcard... email, cloud, etc..
I have made a new thread on EFS backup and restore which can be found HERE.

Hi guys, I'm an owner of a new LG G3.
Now I have a problem. I went to TWRP, deleted EVERYTHING in the wipe menu, without backing up EFS. Then I installed ChupaChups 2. with the ChupaChups skin and SuperSU 2.37. Now I don't know if I lost EFS or how to check if it's still on the device. Because in the settingsmenu "about phone" I can still see my IMEI and data seems to work fine, at least on 2/3g. Can somebody tell me how to check on this?
Someting odd at last, I experience Bluetooth-hickups with the rom, anybody can confirm this?
Thank you so much for your help, I'm a bit desperate here because I don't know if I really just destroyed my phone and I am hoping I'm able to restore to stock.

Hi there.
Go to Settings>about phone>Status.
You should see your IMEI, MAC Address and operator connection.
Also go to Phone and dial *#06# and you should again see your IMEI.
Make sure that it is not all 000000000s.
Edit: If you play with flashing roms backup your EFS folder!

Thanks for your reply. In conclusion , since we can't root lollipop yet, the only way to make a back up of my EFS folder is to downgrade to kitkat, then upgrade to lollipop. I'll think about it.

I only have a 4.4.2, LG G3 S stock, untouched, not updated. I am waiting for a missing clue to root it using DrakePurple-Lite in my Linux distribution. Which codename does that one have? With all the new words I am learning these days, I start getting into confusion, and "KitKat" and "Lollipop" looks to me like lots of sugar. I'll try to keep my phone on a low diet. lol

Can't find EFS folder
Hi!
Today I flashed EFS Backup but I can't see in windows or in the phone with root explorer..etc. But I see in the Recovery..So i can't copy to my computer or anywhere else..
Can You help me?
Thanks
I'm sorry for pulling the noob card. I have managed to backup my EFS using TWRP. I would like a second type of backup to be sure before I move any further. I've been down the lost IMEI on my Note 2. So my new G3 is a VS985 and this method does not seem to work? It goes through all of the steps, but when I look for the created folder there is nothing. Even the folder does not exist. One thing I have noticed is that when I try to create a backup from TWRP to the internal storage the same behavior occurs. Something is written and even TWRP can find it. Although when I am looking around for the created folder... I find nothing. Although when I write a backup to the SDcard it can be found. So if someone could help me with this it would be great. Thank you all for your time.
I think this is the same issue as the poster above me.
I get the impression this thread is no longer active?
Hi guys,
I might get flamed, I might not.
I have searched on google on how to root my LG G3. I have used towelroot and it says something like it isn't compatible. I used stump root and it says its patched. I used purple drake and I manage to find my device but the error comes up about vulnerability.
Luckily with PDrake, I found my software version as I have been seeing 10f 10e etc everywhere and it seems mine is a v20f.
Into google it went and the search it very minimal on answers.
Do I have to rollback the software to a kit kat version in order to root??? Is there any other way or more importantly is it a safe way?
All I really wanted to do was change some of the UI sounds and I cant access the system folder without a root!
P.S. Is there up to date, guide on how to roll back?
Thanks!
Yes, you have to go back to kitkat, then I used IOroot and then install twrp via Bump

Thanks for the reply hgneto
Dammit, so downgrading it is.. <_< Been searching and you have to download custom ROMs? They are labelled with 10g/10f, are these related to the version of the phone?
Sorry, not clued up on all the jargon/acrynoms.

What's your phone variant ?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2785089
This what I need? It says back to stock but I am assuming its just for the version you want?
I have gone through the files and not sure which one I dl?
Im from the UK, on three.
EDIT: @ Raptor - Not sure what you mean but its the LG G3, D855 v20f 16gb.
Seems it is the link I am supposed to be one, thanks.
Just not sure what rom I should be picking.

Ok nice, so D855 16GB from UK and unbranded ?
This KDZ should work. It will bring you to V10A, so Kitkat, and after that you can root.
If you have issues downgrading, I suggest you ask in the other thread, it is especially for this step.
Good luck.
BTW: doing that will erase all your data on your phone.

Again im not sure if it is branded or not. Its an LG G3, is LG not the brand? lol Sorry!
Thanks for the link, clicked it in another tab and doesn't seem to be working but ill figure it out.
So doing this process wipes my phone? So much for just wanting custom UI sounds :haha: No way around the phone wiping? I mean most of my stuff is backed on google+ but its just tiresome considering I have just put everything on there already with the phone being new..........
Thanks again.

What I mean by branded is that you might have some Vodaphone software on it or from an other carrier. Unbranded means it's a pure LG phone unmodified by the carrier.
LL can't be rooted so you have to downgrade to KK.
For doing so you need to factory reset your phone using a KDZ or a TOT file, and there is no way around wiping the thing doing that.
Yeah that's a lot to modify a sound, but eh that's the deal as of now. And mind that if you downgrade to KK and root, you can't get back to LL if you are rooted. (Well you can but your phone will become a brick)
If you want a rooted LL, you need a custom rom like CloudyG3 for example.
Cheers for reply, already hit that thanks button.
Seems a lot for custom UI sounds, think ill wait until someone develops something. In the mean time I will continue to search for the ability to mod the system audio file without a root
Sorry to hijack, but can I confirm that the way to go from stock lollipop to rooted lollipop is to downgrade to Kitkat using the links above, then root, then install a rooted Lollipop rom?
Thanks

But this is only until someone produces the root method for Lollipop right? Then we just root, install the recovery and dance in the moonlight?

Yes. LL has been rooted, but it´s way more complicated than previous versions of Android. You can wait, but it could be weeks, months or years for an universal safe and stable method
And the G3's locked bootloader isn't helping too....
