Lost IMEI need help

Dear Friend,
anyone of you have G-PRO especially those with non-international version should backup your IMEI before trying to upload any new ROM. To back up, please download the tool below (I took it from M_Tool of someone I don't remember) and run it from a CMD Administrator windowl; you should also have your phone connected with debug mode, rooted phone and adb.exe shall be in PATH.
I bricked up my phone with losing the IMEI, i could restore partly now but could not connect to 3G network (only GSM). The reason was that my back up lacking of some files. So anyone have G-PRO F240L or a 988 please be so kind to give me a version of your backup. I need that to make my phone back to a smartphone.
Regards,
Quang

Have you tried taking your phone to a service shop? I believe that would be your best shot. They might restore it in a matter of minutes...
You might have better luck choosing an independent store rather than a licensed one.

some times its a imei issue. in my case it was sim tray issue. i had to change the sim tray from service center only.
have you taken backup before flashing new rom?
if yes, then restore the EFS folder from CWM or TWRP backup

Invalid sim card error after flashing E975 kdz

I successfully (??) flashed my F180k to E975K kdz/
everything seems ok, but I get Invalid sim error, and obviously cannot connect/
I tried to unlock the phone using freegee, running TWRP, with no success. should i run CWM 6.0.3.0?
Any other ideas why the phone is locked or how to unlock it?
thanks,

invalid sim got nothing to do with lock bootloader and recovery and freegee

the phone is permanently locked (!!) help...
Any ideas how to bypass it?

if it was working fine before try the same stock f180 firmware and see if that works, have no idea about sim unlocking on optimus G. search for that.

your guide is really great, I probably did something wrong. how can I tell if I am running the right baseband?
the baseband currently installed on my phone is APQ8064/MDM9x15M.
do you have another baseban file other than what you've linked to on your guide?
many thanks!

i dsnt post any guide on here or any where,okay?
here are the links
f180s
f180k
f180l

I flashed the baseband, but it is still permanently locked.
Any ideas as to how can it be unlocked? maybe if I will use other EFS backup?
will it be solved if I will go back to to the original KDZ?

This did not solve the problem.
The baseband fix seems to only fix the reception issues of the phone so that it can pick up the signal.
The problem I have is about the phone not recognizing the sim card. It will only recognize it when I go back to the stock F180K rom not the E975 rom.
By the way, all F180 phones are pre-unlocked by Korean law.

You do not need to touch the baseband if you already flashed the F180K rom.
The sim should be recognized and baseband should be the right one already.
If you need further info add jseo to kakao talk and send me a message and we can talk real time. I'm in Seoul

Invalid sim card after converting E975

Hi Guys,
I need expert help here , it looks i brick my handset while i was trying to convert it into E975 by following the instruction
Guide
Regardless of which firmware you are currently running on your F180, you will need to download and switch to the corresponding one from the list below:
F180S : F180S20B_00.kdz
F180K : F180K20B_00.kdz
F180L : F180L20H_00.kdz
Tip: You can find your phone’s model by going to ‘Settings > About > Phone identity’ in Android.
Warning: Make sure your phone’s battery is at least charged 80%. Don’t proceed otherwise as LG Optimus G comes with non-removable battery and thus you won’t be able to easily swap the battery if it dies in the middle of the process.
It is mandatory that you factory reset your phone before proceeding. For doing so, go to ‘Settings > Privacy > Factory data reset’. Please keep in mind that doing so will wipe your phone including contacts, messages, mails, applications and all the data on your phone’s internal storage. Your phone will reboot twice. Let it boot after factory reset. Once you are on the language selection screen, power off your phone
Press and hold down ‘Volume Up’ + ‘Volume Down’ and while inserting USB cable in to the phone. This will get you to S/W download mode on LG F180.
Now you need to flash the firmware you downloaded earlier. Please refer to the guide here:
How to: Download and Install KDZ LG firmware – All Android models
Once the KDZ firmware is successfully flashed, your phone will reboot automatically. Once it fully boots up, go through the setup procedure and again factory reset it as you already did once.
Once you are on the language selection screen, power off your phone
Once again, put your phone in download mode
For converting your phone to E975, we’ll be flashing this E975 Hong Kong KDZ:
Follow the same procedure for flashing KDZ as you did earlier.
Once the KDZ flash is successful, go through the set-up procedure. Now go to ‘Settings > Storage’ and make sure your internal storage is being listed there. If it shows “0.00 GB” there, don’t panic. Power off your phone. Once completely off, press and hold down ‘Volume Down’ + ‘Power’ buttons until the phone displays a hard reset screen. Release ‘Volume Down’ and press ‘Power’ twice for resetting your phone.
Your phone will reboot once again and your phone’s internal storage will be back to normal.
Now you need to root your phone. Please refer to our LG Optimus G universal rooting guide here:
Universal root for LG Optimus G – Any firmware
Once you are done with rooting process, make sure you reboot your phone at least once if it doesn’t reboot automatically.
Now we will be flashing LG F180 baseband. Download your corresponding baseband backup from the list below:
F180S Baseband
F180K Baseband
F180L Baseband
Unzip the downloaded archive and you will find a batch file named ‘modem-flash’ inside it. Make sure ‘USB Debugging’ is enabled on your phone and your phone is in ‘Charge only’ mode while connected to the PC. Run the ‘modem-flash’ batch file.
Keep an eye on your phone screen as you will need to tap the grant permission button on SuperSU pop-up. If you miss the pop-up as it expires after 10 sec, run ‘modem-flash’ batch file again.
Once the baseband has been flashed successfully, reboot your phone
Congratulations! You have just converted LG F180 to LG E975.
it converted successfully but when i insert sim in it says invalid sim card , i have updated the base band given in above link but no luck then i tried to flash the original rom with many version for this set same thing again ,no signal no network .i think i mess up with the orginal modem without taking any kind of backup.
I need expert advise here how to fix it and which kdz to use to fix it.
looking forward for your reply.
Thanks,

@ranadawood: Flash original kdz file for your respective model to get back network ...

No Network Connectivity after failed root

Hello guys I was trying to root my Lg G pro E980 for AT&T. In my haste and eagerness to attain root on my device, I failed to notice some of the warnings in the OP. This is what I used to try to obtain root: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2362657 As you can see, it states that it does not work on AT&T 10p. After trying (and failing). My phone would no longer detect my sim card! I tried factory resetting with no luck. I also tried taking the sim card out and restarting without the sim and then reboot with the sim. This did not work either. Searching for networks yielded a network error. If it matters, my phone is unlocked and using a T mobile sim. I was working perfectly before the failed root attempt and now I get no service connectivity at all! Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Update: I flashed the phone to an earlier stock version of the AT&T rom using this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2302660 and it still does not seem to read my T-mobile sim or an AT&T sim either! Please, any help at all is appreciated!

Have you still got an IMEI number? If you haven't that is why your phone cannot read the sim. If you don't have an IMEI, it is because your EFS has been corrupted but that shouldn't happen when rooting. If you have an EFS backup flash that, otherwise you have to take it to a service centre as there is no way to write an IMEI number onto your phone.

open phone . take out mother board .. and read plaque model. if sprint flash sprint KDZ and LGUP. if H815 then do that .. thats the only way to be sure.

U have a refurbished model.Go to nearest mobile repair shop & take out your motherboard to see what model no is written on this.Then flash a rom accoringly. Don't flash any other rom just by assuming else you will brick your device.

Yes my phone is refurbished...
But how to flash the rom?
If I found it to be a sprint version and flash a sprint rom ...it will be locked?I am using phone in India...

Any chance to root the phone and install twrp?
Then flash a custom rom?
Please help...

Most probably it will be locked cause most higher Android versions LG has blocked rooting or unlocking..But you can always browse few threads.
Mine is also a refurbished model with F500L motherboard,LS911 body & had H815 global rom installed out of the box.I am currently on F500L Nougat locked & unrooted..I have tried almost every method.It failed to root & even to enter fast boot.
If you get your proper model no on motherboard then just flash the rom with ToT flasher in download mode with respective DLL.

Your network is locked?
You cant unlock it?
Can we degrade our Os to lollipop to get root?

Even I cant turn on the Enable OEM unlock under the developer mode...
Any more advices?

Please help.....

I have tried almost all h815 ans ls991 roms with all flashing methods but still unable to successfully flash my device...lg tot flash tool always show dl error after 4 to 6 percent of flashing...
Please help

Any idea's?

Pick the phone, and send it to the place where you bought it. If you have warranty the repair is free, if not, then you must pay sadly.

Still no solution, I even cannot enable OEM unlock under developer options...
It automatically disables it...
Please help

Just experienced this issue after changing sim card... Call and Camera stopped working over and over again.
How I solved it: Go to the specific app that is causing you trouble, and clear cache/files (too bad I only found this after 3 factory resets).

Maybe it will help ... LG G4 CAM
