Q&A for [EFS] LG G3 EFS Backup and Restore

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.

what are my options if I mess up my NV files and I don't have EFS backup
Looking for assistance with missing efs info for Verizon lg g3. I am technical enough to do it with steps.

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!

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:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54254062&postcount=2
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 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,
i downloaded the "Baseband" for my F180l, because i cant get any network access with the E975 Firmware F EU/GER. The Baseband didnt change but i lost the IMEI, after flashing the E875F again i received back my IMEI but i dont get any connection at all.
APQ8064/MDM9x15M
before and after it was the same...
what shall i do?
Steps i followed:
First: Root, Enable USB Debugging, Download this file:https://www.dropbox.com/s/e8vses1vqza04l3/BaseBandF180L.rar
2. Copy this baseband.img to Internal Storage (/sdcard)
3. Run file flash_baseband.bat
4. Follow the guild.
5. Your phone will reboot and finish!
got the same baseband as before...
thanks
anybody?
this exact same problem led my F180s to a deadboot after trying many other hit-or-miss solutions. my find is a corrupt EFS file among other possibilities. did u back up your EFS files before? if not, see an expert tech for help.
you have one of those Korean versions right?

NOOB ALERT: I am very new to this, but have done a bunch of searching and have come up empty. If I missed any threads that may have addressed this, my apologies.
Hello,
I recently tried flashing a custom rom on my e971 for the first time after 2 years of ownership and getting bored of stock rom. Rooted as described in the ROOT/BL-U/L/Install custom recovery thread for Canadian G's (zv9-zvb universal root), U/L BL with freegee and installed cwm (also through freegee). I then flashed pacman rom 4.4.4 for the e973, as it was my understanding that it would work properly. Rom flashed successfully and the phone worked for the most part (though there seemed to be some bugs with the rom).
One thing I noticed was that my imei was displaying as 0 in settings, which was a concern. After searching the forums for this problem, i found that most people with this problem couldn't connect to their operator, whereas I could connect fine (though my network speeds seemed slower than usual). No problem making calls, SMS, or using mobile data (MMS was hit and miss though).
I've since successfully restored my stock backup via cwm, tried restoring my efs partition via freegee (used freege to backup), re-flashed the JB radio for my model, but have had no luck getting my imei back (phone still works though).
The only other thing I can think of trying is the Unbrick guide using a kdz, however the kdz downloader app gives me an error when i input my model and serial. My other concern with this method would be ruining a phone that's currently working.
Can anyone recommend any solutions or offer any insight as to why this may have happened?
Thanks very much.
A couple of things... First off, to flash a KDZ, try using a flash tool 2014, it should work (worked on my F180S). Second, you could just leave your phone as is, unless you are planning to use it abroad (I am assuming you are in Canada). Unlike in other places in the world, e.g. Europe, nulled IMEI somehow works perfectly fine in Canada, which I know from my own experience with at least two different phones. Weird, but true. So, if you are only planning to use it locally, it shouldn't be much of a concern, really...
Thanks for the reply. Yes, in Canada, but unfortunately, I can no longer connect to Rogers at all. I'll take a look at the LG flash tool thread and see if I can figure it out. Still not sure where to find the kdz file though...
You mentioned you've experienced the IMEI problem. Do you happen to know if flashing the kdz will restore the IMEI (not sure if that's what you meant by "worked on my F180s"?

Take a look here: http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=20
The KDZ you need is listed under "Rogers".

I just meant that when I had to flash stock KDZ on my F180 (several times, for various reasons), Flash Tool 2014 worked perfectly for me. So, if you are having issues flashing KDZ by other methods, it's the best tool to use.
My IMEI problems were on totally different phones... I haven't encountered any IMEI issues with OG. Some people say that flashing KDZ does restore IMEI, others indicate that it doesn't. I can't say... If you used FreeGee in the past, you might have made an EFS backup. Restoring from it would be your best bet.
Thanks again. I did make a backup using freegee, but restoring through freegee doesn't seem to do anything (I get a message saying the process is complete, but still no IMEI).
I'll give the flash tool a try and report back.
Update: successfully flashed back to stock by kdz, but no change with the IMEI, and still not connecting to network. Still have the backup EFS partitions saved, but unless there's another way to restore them besides freegee, I think I'm SOL.
Update 2: After a day of showing no connection to the network, my phone decided to connect to rogers wireless today. Didn't change anything, and IMEI is still 0.
I hope you can fix it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=55471364&postcount=4

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.

Hi
I bought recently some refurbished LG F240. According to IMEI it was originaly a F240L. I had stupid idea to upgrade software to Android 5.0 so I downloaded original KDZ firmware for F240L. Update was succesfull and everything works fine except... GSM. I can use a WiFi but i can't make any phone call or send sms. When I check my phone IMEI using *#06# it shows "null"
I live in Europe so to fix this I tried to flash my phone again using KDZ for Germany (from this link: storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda%2FLG+Optimus+G+Pro%2FStock%2F ) and it still dosn't work . After it I rooted my phone and I installed CWM (lte2jbrecovery) and I tried to flash all modems from this link androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=17567 but none of them works. I also noticed that after flash modem (CWM says that it was succesfull) broadband version in "about phone" section dosn't change.
My only idea is to install back LG-F240-EUR ROM but i can not find this rom :/
Does anybody has any idea how can I fix this. I'll be very grateful for your help!
i think all f240 are korean
so your safest bet will be to flash f240 k/L/S KDZ, when i messed up flashing rom to my f240 and get no signal i always go back to to f240k korean kdz and it will be fixed

I did it before and after it I lost signal I think that I broke EFS partition during flashing KDZ file. I have no backup of EFS partition but i found info that it is possible to repair EFS partition using Z3X LG 2-3G Tool even without backup. I don't know how to do it but i found some company which do things like this so I hope that they repair this - they told mi that it should be possible

No idea. I did everything and nothing helps. I don't know what magic is done in LG-F240-EUR and I also can't find this ROM.

This tutorial shows how to make a full backup of the phone flash and how to restore it. Codes fit LG G8 which with some minor modifications they can be used for any other Qualcomm based devices. If you provide me the "PartitionsList.xml" of other...

Another utility to use for backup and flashing back would be the bkerler edl python utilities.
Search for it and you'll find his github page, and on it, he even provides a bootable image you can flash to a usb drive, boot it and it's ubuntu with all the utilities and all dependencies resolved.
I've used them many times and it's the first thing I do is use them to backup original rom on the device. Sorry, don't have at&t, just sprint.
Keep in mind there are some partitions you NEVER want to flash from someones backup, they contain imei and s/n.

Thanks AsltLies.
Does anyone have firmware for ATT G8?
So I tried many ways, as an unexperieced rom flasher, and so far had no luck.
The LG G8 ATT phone doenst even want to boot into recovery mode.
Also connected to a PC via USB and entered some commands via ADB tools and even then it will just reboot the phone.
Anyone got a clue what I am doing wrong?
I have AT&T LG G8 (LM-G820) and here are boot_a/b files that I've saved before flashing my phone with Lineageos download
