[Q] Please Can you guys help me with SPH-D710ZWASPR

Hello, everyone. First I want to say a big thank you to all XDA Developers and forum mod's for all hard work they do for us users.
I have purchased trough craiglist cell phone and I have tried to delete all things that previous owner had on the phone since he did not delete his files and the rest of his stuff. I did flash phone with some stock rom's and some rooted rom's. I have Baseband Version, H/W unknown and also IMEI MEID is unknown. Before I decided posting here, I have read here on xda and searched everywhere to fix it but I didn't have any luck.
I have tried downloading almost all firmware and tried different modems, kernels, bootloaders, repartioning and it does not fix my phone.
I would really apreciate if anyone can help me with this. Is there any way to get from somebody that have same phone like partition or files?
Thank you very much!
Elvis

I have tried to flash and firmware that was posted for sph-d710 was actualy for sgh-i900 but I didn't know till I have flashed and booted.
That's when my h/w, baseband, imei was changed to unknown.
Phone does work but modem doesn't, I can use WIFI.

You might want to try an odin one click and it'll reset all of it back to normal and will put you on the latest Jellybean leak. Here's the one to use if you want Root http://www.rwilco12.com/downloads.p...-D710)/Stock ROMs/JB/GA10/Full Restore/Rooted and here's the one if you don't want Root http://www.rwilco12.com/downloads.p...710)/Stock ROMs/JB/GA10/Full Restore/Unrooted

If you flashed an international (gt-i9100) rom you're looking at jTag or replacing the phone cuz you hosed your bootloader and the partitions so the PC will never recognize it to Odin it back to stock. If the rom is rooted you *MAY* be able to use mobile odin to flash everything but the modem, but it's highly doubtful that will fix your forked up bootloader. And I've never seen an i9100 rom labeled as a d710 rom I think you just didn't read thoroughly enough.
I like to break stuff!

Thank you, MHousos. I'll give a try with SPH-D710_GA10_818252_Rooted_Restore. I have to mention that all other firmware I have tried flashing with Odin and Heimdall they both can flash phone but when they slow down when flashing modem.bin. They don't show no errors or that flashing have pass. I have been waiting for long time to see if the phone will get flashed or not but later I have to flash kernel so I can use phone with WIFI but baseband, h/w, imei is unknown.

+100 what -EViL-KoNCEPTz- said.
IF you flashed an international ROM you are mostlikely SOL.
Do some reading.
Good luck.

I have tried I think almost all stocks, rooted, kernels, modems and other tools.
My phone is not dead, I can flash and use phone with WIFI.
When I try to flash any one-click firmware with odin or heimdall they stop like at end when flashing modem.bin
I have to disconnect usb cable and power off phone than put it in D/M and flash kernel but modem will not work
as h/w ime baseband is unknown.
Please can anyone help me out I would really apreciate.
In SPH-D710 .PIT it shows 13 or 14 file images?
If I had all files to flash would that help or not?
If someone could help me to get all files so I can try
I'm not asking to help me for free.
Thank you guys.

Use a Full Restore One Click, as it actually is preset to re-partition. All One Clicks are built with the pit file as the pit is used for mapping.
I would recommend using PC Odin manually to flash the three tar files separately. Kernel, modem and Rom.
I can tell you this - If you're attempts are always failing at a certain location, then it's probably time for you to follow this link, providing that you can actually flash.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1865102
And maybe even the possibility of failing internal memory. Last two threads I remember that started like yours ended with a BLOD,
Good luck, I hope that isn't the case for you.

try flashing your official firmware through Odin. other users solve their imei problem by doing that. see also if you can access engineering mode with that official firmware.

lets wait for others specially those who are expert in android for some advice. I'm just an ordinary security guard so i can't help you much with your problem. what i have suggested you from my previous post was the last thing I did when my phone finally worked. for 4 days i been searching for solution because i also have an IMEI problem. i flash back to official rom, flash patched modem, flash other roms to no avail until such time when my phone doesn't boot because of broken partition :laugh:. if you still have warranty restore it back. if you're already out of warranty and you have money, you can it send it to service center.
P.S.
you can also try this if you have courage. i was able to make some secret codes work but i have'nt tried if it works with engineering mode by modifying hiddenmenu in /efs/carrier/hiddenmenu. use efs explorer to open hiddenmenu and change it to ON.save it and restart your phone and see if engineering mode work. remember that you have to be in official firmware and also rooted to do this. if its not working then you'll just have to wait for a much better solutions from devs.

Same question

in the same post he have mentioned how to recover lost imei/efs please read
How to recover lost IMEI that happens with downgrading ROM
If you have lost IMEI just by downgrading (as said by above by flashing older ROM), still you can recover IMEI without having EFS backup.
-Again upgrade ROM will restore IMEI OR
-Flash latest Modem. You can find it here.. You can download MG1 modem and flash using PC Odin with 'Phone' tab instead of PDA.
Remember above said works only if IMEI is corrupted by downgrading ROM only, if it was corrupted by other things, this won't be helpful.
Also Read This, if you have issue restoring EFS OR device stuck to factory mod.
Hope this will find helpful to all newbies regarding question about EFS and IMEI problem. I have posted this to general section so newbie can post to it if they have any queries.

Lost my IMEI with "Erases All EFS1/2/3!"

I lost my IMEI by following an ill-advised guide that had me go through "Erases All EFS1/2/3!".
I did not create any backup and after flashing a stock ROM, my IMEI on the phone shown via *#06# in the dialer is now "/ 08".
I've searched and searched for a working solution all over the internet for the last 5 hours and I am now completely lost, angry, confused, and in complete despair.
I am only a novice in dealing with any of this and it's taken me a while just to be able to properly flash a stock rom with Odin.
If there is a kind & talented soul here who can pull me out of this wretched hole of anger and despair, I'd be forever grateful to you.

Is there anything different with this method compared to flashing stock ROM M919UVUFNK2 (the latest 4.4.4) with Odin.
I noticed it has a different ROM and has "F. Reset Time" unchecked for Odin.
I've flashed to stock ROM M919UVUFNK2 with Odin several times but the IMEI still isn't recovered.

there's a service out there that can give you a new imei number ... I used that service when my imei deleted, LOL when I first got the s4 I didn't know we had to backup that partition... look it up, I can't really remember the website. but it can cost you a little bit of money :/

[Q] ATT ZE500CL/Z00D Bricked After OTA Update - HELP (ZenFone 2E)

I have an ATT ZenFone 2E that I rooted successfully with this guide (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3116531). Due to an error on my part(fat finger) I accidentally started the OTA update. Now when I try to boot the phone all I get is the AT&T logo/splash screen. I can get it to go into recovery mode and it also will connect via ADB. I have tried flashing the UL-ASUS_Z00D-WW-12.16.5.30-user.zip firmware via ADB fastboot but I get an error saying firmware is wrong carrier ATT (WW). Am I using the wrong firmware for AT&T? I have searched all over and cannot find any ZenFone 2 firmware other than WW, TW, and CN. Any help or suggestions much appreciated.

Still no luck. I'm sure if we could find the AT&T firmware we would be able to recover. Unfortunately it appears it is not available on ASUS support and AT&T doesn't even provide firmware. Our only hope may be from a backup of another device that isn't bricked.
Does anybody know if we could possibly use the temporary CWM recovery used in the root method to flash to another ROM that is compatible with this device? Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Are there any details I can provide that would be helpful in finding a solution to recover this device? I've seen a few other people are having the same issue as I am and I would like to help them as well if I can get mine fixed. Thanks

Just out of curiosity have you tried running the xoa_unroot.bat while your device is in recovery/fastboot mode? Im not sure if it will help but I've found in other threads that to avoid soft bricking your device you must run the unroot prior to applying the OTA update. I'm sure it's probably too late but maybe worth a shot. I'm going to try it when I get home from work today.

Wait, are you bricked and tried using that as the fix? I cant post links but Check out Asus, They have Firmware, Kernel (havent checked but read it earlier today), and Boot Unlock that you can get right from (assuming you have an account) My Products.
Also... Has anyone used that method recently?
Cathaterfish said:
Sorry I will give credit to DavePmer for his guide in minute, but qouting him for some reason wouldnt let me post, even when I removed the links? anyways I'll edit and give credit I promise
So my phone is stuck on the Asus Logo, I downloaded all of this and followed the instructions all the way up to:
11) now the fun part. open your microsd card and check the folder TWRP\BACKUPS see if it has a folder named
01234567890123456789 if it does great if not, not a problem just copy all the system files from the folder
you extracted TWRP-zf2e-ATT_12.16.10.7 to your microsd card TWRP\BACKUP\01234567890123456789\ whatever folder you have next\ in other words, replace your system.ext4.win000 files with my system.ext4.win000 file.
Replace your system.ext4.win001 with mine, and replace system.ext4.win00.md5 with mine as well as system.ext4.win001.md5 when done safely dismount the microsd card.
It then occurred to me that i should be more careful this time around... This was from October and although I ran across links saying for the most part that this was a good shot for fixing my ZE500CL, Z00D or whatever. But things have changed since then and I was wondering if this is still the best/easiest/safe route. I learned pretty quick that over looking things like OTA/Root or in my case Making assumptions is a fast path to really doing a number on your phone. (Honestly I just started even giving thought to rooting my phone, just considered them back ups I kept in a box). I now have the itch to do this right so hoping to fix this and go about this the right way.
Thanks for any input.
Currently DLing RussaiNBeaR, went and bought a card reader/writer. I was going to Download the firmware, kernel and boot unlock tool but currently staying at a place where im getting 160kbs on my DL's. So if I can get away with davepmer's guide that would be great, or something other or smaller than downloading 4gbs on this Internet Connection.
EDIT: Forgot to add that I haven't completed this step yet because the wording kind of tripped me up. And I want to do this right. When he says "in other words replace your system.ext4.win000 files with my system.ext4.win000 file." and then goes on and 3 more to the list. Does that mean only copy and replace those 4? or does that include all system.(whatever).(extension) files? Im sure it sounds really dumb or noobish but the fact that the next step is using twrp to restore using system only makes me afraid to do this part wrong.
