Hi ,
I have an LG G2 - LS980 and I messed up my EFS partition , and I really didnt back it up like i should have !
I have everything in order though , after flashing back my IMEI using the method here. Thanks to @kingroach and @Lifoo . Expect that it will no longer connect to 3G/4G and remains only at 2G/GSM .
I may need to reflash the EFS partition to ensure i fix this. If you could share the EFS partition from your backup via PM it would help tremendously.
Details of backing up your partition are mentioned here

Thank you very much , could you please edit your post and remove the link so that its not public.
Still no luck , I am stuck on 2G and cannot get onto 3G/4G with my phone. Any more clues ?
Your best bet is to TOT back to full stock.
This thread got me scratching my head SEVERAL times. Till now I have been certain that your EFS contained your IMEI. Can you guys check whether you got the same IMEI now?

Maybe you should edit yours as well since you're keeping his EFS file public lol
Yes i have made the edit. I am stumped too. Even i thought EFS is what contained the IMEI !
My challenge now I guess is MEID .

Thanks for the help so far. I still need some more help on this . Could you (or anyone using Sprint - LG - G2 ) please help back up these partitions and send them to me.
Attached a ZIP file to help make the backup easy.
Connect your phone in usb debug mode to PC .
Unzip and run the batch file LG_BCK.bat and once its done , takes 5-6 mins, please help share the files located in the resulting LGBCK folder.
This will help me understand what else is needed other than EFS , modem partitions to backup the IMEI and other data.
FYI "Partitions NOT backed up are system, cache, userdata to ensure privacy of data" :good:
Also please share the resulting files via PM rather than posting a public link here.
Also note the resulting files in LGBCK folder amounts to ~439MB , if you rar this folder , it will be compressed to 70 MB which is much easier to share !

Thank you very much ! Appreciate it.
Also attached version 1.0 of the backup script . There are 2 options now.
1. Core backup (This does not back up system , userdata and cache) . Good for a quick backup of all partitions .
2. Full backup (Includes every partition).

Are you using this version ? Adb_Backupv1.zip ?
Could you open a command prompt and browse to that directory and manually run the .bat file to see what the error may be ?

Doesn't it contain IMEI? Every google search says it does.

If you're trying to write your meid you will need to use cdma dfs or cdma workshop to write it manually if you have your msl and have the meid dec from the back cover of the phone. I have a link to a site that calculates everything but your imei from the meid dec, but I'm not home with all my bookmarks.

I have just rooted my Sprint Note 2 SPH-l900. I am learning all of this as I go. I was looking into changing some of my themes and icons and ran into the need of a deoxed ROM which means I need a new ROM. The first thing I tried to do was save my EFS Partition. I navigated to the EFS location, long clicked and chose copy. I then navigated to my external SD to drop it there but I had no choice to paste. I then found the EFS pro from this site. I opened it, added the EFS to the list of partitions and I was then greeted with a note stating I need the readlink: applet and suggested Busybox 1.20.2 All I have to choose from in busybox Pro is 1.21.1 and 1.21.0. If I choose a custom download, I am taking to a page with a 404 display which of course is of no use. I cannot find anywhere to get this applet and I am getting frustrated. I am already trying to learn this and I am stuck in something I cant get out of. All the instructions for EFS Pro don't explain this situation. Please let me know how to get past this and to make sure I have a proper version of busybox at the same time. My actual next step is to get a new ROM so any suggestions for that is helpful as well. I am looking to customize, save battery and I am still learning what else is out there. My battery is lasting 3 days of now, I am looking for 5 days just to see if I can. I have a 9300 mAh battery right now.
I have a SPH-l900 with Titanium Backup Pro, Waze, Tasker, Swiftkey, Super SU ROM Toolbox, Orange Backup, Multiwindow Pro, Goo Manager, Comodo Security, Busybox ProBoat Browser, Android Assistant and some other apps for HVAC Purposes.
Any help is extremely appreciated. Again I am new, have no Android developmental skills but I will do research and I learn quite a bit faster than most people (though I have blocked quite a bit of my synapses in my early years!!)
I have become familiar with the filing system and have made copies of the efs and save it on my external card, laptop and my drop box. I am now looking for a ROM to flash which keeps all of the unique functions of the note such as multi-windows and the s pen I am looking for improved responsiveness/quickness, lots of custom icons/themes/colors/graphics/home screens etc...I am also looking for an efficient setup to keep my battery up and lasting. The last thing which i think is common is that it is deodoxed.
Thanks
Help me

Hello friend, I hope you do not bother, this message is for help, first I would like to know if you are a user of a note L900, I have a problem, delete the EFS folder. Now I have no IMEI, I have seen a technician, he says Get the EFS folder from another note, to retrieve your IMEI.
The question is: lend me your EFS folder?

have you ever try FLASHING MJ5 BOOTLOADER after flash the rom android 4.3?. or maybe use this method from dr.ketan http://forum.xda-developers.com/newreply.php?do=newreply&p=47372682 usually 4.3 will need fix wifi and reroot after flashing them,

Without any form of backup of your efs (are you sure you don't have a Twrp or CWM backup with it?) Then you basically will have to either inject a working, non-GN2 imei from a phone that isn't blacklisted from your carrier. Or figure out if there is a newer way (maybe someone came out with a fix that I'm unaware of) to restore your imei (printed behind the battery of your phone) either way if you want your phone to connect cellularly than you'll need to freshin up on QPST and NV Writer

Who is your carrier... Basically in the TMO GN2 Q&A thread there are several post referring to solutions but obviously you will need to replace their modems with that of your own carrier and I also suggest once you find the threads that I'm referring to that you make sure there isn't an updated option available... I would link the threads myself but my XDA app is acting all kinds of stupid right now and won't let me access my participated threads

I'm simply referring to getting your phone working on a carrier again... Not really flashing stock (unrooted) Roms... From your original post you seem to have had 4 problems (WiFi has already been solves). My post is referring to the null imei... As far as your home button only pulling up your menu key (which I interpret based on your original post) than I would ask if you have a recovery installed at all... If not I think it might be a cache partition error which chainfire solved on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1932327 but that is a whole different bag of worms...

I would think you should be able to hook your phone up to the PC and then within terminal (once you get ADB Shell and your phone is reading properly with the appropriate drivers) and use codes to launch Download mode or Recovery.. You could also (using this method) potential make a copy of your phone so at least you have a copy of it all on the PC...

I doubt it but not 100 percent but I think its 1 or the other... Ultimately I am new to using jdk/SDK etc and don't have the slightest clue as to what steps are needed to even get the GN2 to communicate with windows properly... With that being said I have been able to follow directions enough to unbrick an archos (had to install jdk/sdk etc, a virtualbox with Ubuntu, setup drivers to commincate the device thoroughly with the PC and then thru the virtual machine via USB, and then using terminal via Ubuntu flash codes and through Sudo fix files on the device to unbrick it... Took me like 3-4 days as I was so noon to it all but it was that experience that got me in to flashing phones in the first place

hello,
This morning i was using my phone like every day, but i notice that i had no signal so i decided to restart the phone. When it restarted out of nowhere the phone started to boot loop.. i didnt do anything for it to start doing that.. after a long while trying to fix it i gave up and got into recovery and decided to clean install the rom. It did install but after 1 minute of being on the screen it would boot loop.. I download it the same rom and installed it and still kept doing the same thing.. i had a back up so i decided to install it which i did but again after 40 seconds of start up it would boot loop.. finally, i decided to use the LG Flash tool TWICE and it did work but again after a little while the phone turns off and on.. idk what lese to do??? any ideas?
Check if it displays your IMEI in the Settings. If not you should check if you've got a EFS Backup.

OHH wow!! so im basically stock with a brand new phone that boots on and off ..Wow.. well if you ever find an answer can you please share it with me!!! thank you in advance.
I have no idea what kind of backup you are talking about but could we use it from another G2?
Maybe this will help you find out what a EFS-Backup is:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2451390
I've seen the question somewhere else (to use a backup from another g2) and they said, that it will boot but don't login into the network, cause you'll get a IMEI with 00000 or something like this.
Don't know a answer. I think I must send my G2 to LG and pay a lot of money IF they'll fix it.

OHH i see what you mean... I have added EFS backup to the IOroot scripts so that everyone that roots will have a copy of their EFS partitions on the computer you run IOroot from. Regardless, this current thread will still be a good "heads up" and an alternative for those who insist on using other shady root methods or for those who just want another way to back things up.
I did use IOroot, does that mean that if i connect it to the computer and try to root it again it would fix it? you think???

In the Thread is a step-by-step tutorial how to restore EFS-Files. Make a Backup of these 2 files before you root your phone again! Don't know, if those 2 files got overwritten (maybe with the damaged data) when you root your phone again.
Fixed my phone

Hello everyone,
I post here because i have a problem with my find7.
After a bad flash of Nameless OTA, my phone don't boot.
He was bricked but i have found an unbrick tool on >community.oppo.com/en/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=23067&extra=#post-308276OppoForum.
This worked great and my phone boot on ColorOs 1.2.5i.
At this time, an error message in notification show OPPO_NV_BACKUP. The NV partition is invalid.

I have make *#268# and in the engineer mode, calibrations statut, all it's -1.
In nv parameters, just calibration NV Backup file manual check failed. All is succeded.
go back to oppo forums or goolge and look for their unbrick tool. it should be a program with chinese characters. if you know what you are doing then connect wait and reboot. the rom installed should be a stock version of color os. if for any reason you are having issues with storage or connectivity try these steps. try re partitioning the device. if you can not do this try downloading an update 2.x.x ( side load it if you cant access storage or copy and paste to root of phone storage ) when you flash this itll give you the newer recovery with the option to merge the partition or not. at this step i would suggest doing a partition switch so sd card wont be an issue again. now as far as connectivity goes download coloros_modem_2.1.5i.zip you maybe able to find it via crdroid thread. flash via recovery right after rom before gapps, you should be functioning again
granted these steps helped me for my x9070

Sorry but i have try a lot of time the Sahara unbrick tool.
I have try many possibilities. But one resolved my problem because the NV items was deleted and my method was to backup the NV items of another Oppo Find 7 32go and reinject it with QPST (Qualcomm).
But i have the same IMEI of my friend backup.

Hello. I still have the same issue and unfortunately no backup of the NV partition.
I would be so happy if someone can send me a backup of the NV partition.
You can change the IMEI with an HEX-Editor to 999999999 for example before you send me your backup.
I am not interested in using your IMEI. I just want my phone working again. Thank you very much.

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.

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

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
