HelloHello
I wonder if anyone here can help me to solve my problem.
I have a Optimus G E971 and I have flashed a lot of times roms and other stuff.
Recently I lost my imei but of course I have my backup of EFS, I restore the backup but it doesn´t work, my IMEI don't work. On settings IMEI is "UNKNOWN" and when i type *#06# is "null"
I past the last two weeks trying to solve my problem but I have no good results.
I found this http://www.droidviews.com/how-to-backup-and-restore-lost-imei-on-lg-g2/ and I was trying with QPST but it says "NoPhone" also tried with EFS Protools and DFS and "NV-items_reader_writer" but no one can work with my cel in DIAG Mode
This is what I have tried:
-Restore EFS with Fregee
-Restore EFS with adb
-Restore EFS with CWM and TWRP
-QPST
-EFS Pro Tools
-DFS
-Flash KDZ with LGFlashtools 2014
Flash this tot file with LGNPST

I tried flashing the modem after restore with freegee but no good results still my imei is "null"
And also tried with the B Method of this tutorial but QPST recognizes the device as "NoPhone"

Please, I need help!
:crying:

found another EFS backup that i did with ADB commands and restore it, but still my imei is null

Did you try to install stock system? I think it's called KDZ
I got my phone 3 days ago and got the same problem last night
I managed to repair in this way: (everything else i tried did not work, but these two simple steps made my day)
1 - restore EFS backup with terminal emulator (after this nothing changes, it was still showing imei null probably due to bad baseband ?)
2- flash KDZ :
Type: 3GQCT
Phone Mode: CS_Emergency
in lg flashtool 2014
after the flash finished everything was fine.
I downloaded the kdz file from a software where you input your model and imei number, you can find it on the forums somewhere
Use a stable machine to flash the firmware (a laptop in performance mode or something?)
I wish you good luck

KS20 dead - no phone and no IMEI

Hi people,
after weeks of trying i succeeded to connect KS to LGMDP on my friends Intel based PC! Problem was in my computer and definitely there is issue with AMD-nForce based PCs...
So... I successfully flashed my KS with ROM made by farahbosley, but after starting the phone, I first received message of Illegal phone usage... After that, I re-flashed phone and everything seemed OK. But then I had No service message and my KS became - just computer. Both times I follow procedure and made backup prior to flashing, but LGMDP is saying that there is no backup file (?!) although Backup files are existing and proper sized -116 kb?
Now I have NO IMEI and no phone...
What I did wrong?
Is there any solution?
Many thanks in advance...
ask rickou26
He can create custom .nv2 files.
Remove your battery and you can see your IMEI.
Tnx Cissmayazz,
of course I know where is my IMEI no
just don't know what happened wrong there with flashing...
and how is possible to fix it...
Problem solved thanks to the ricou26- THE MAN!!

[TUTORIAL] Transfer F180L (20s) to E975 (EUR10h/other) - working signal

Hi,
I was working on "reincarnation" of F180L (20s) to E975 (actually EUR10h) for the last few days and I didn't find one 100% usable topic.
I had either Korean symbols/language and working signal or my language (CZE, ENG) and no signal - so I decided to have "Czech language with working signal".
I got the phone to working state yesterday, after reading about tens of topics and downloading about 7 GB of ROMs/basebands etc. and about 3 days of trying, combining, flashing, drinking a lot ... water only etc.
I put many topics into this one and I will hope it will helps to someone else.
Phone infomation (original):
F180L with 20s FW
HowTo "reincarnate":
1) Get KDZ file you would like to use - Stock Firmwares:
Link: LG Optimus G [E975] Roms/Kernels/Mods & Tools/Root (Daily Update) or Google
2) Get this package:
Link: F180LtoE975 (FlashTool and Root APK)
I RECOMMEND TO INSTALL THESE FILES/DOING FLASH ON THE COMPUTER WITH WIN XP OR IN WIN XP MODE (UNDER WIN7/8) (I had still PROGRAM NOT RESPONDING in WIN7 64bit - even in compatibility mode)
3) Install all files (3) from "F180LtoE975/KDZ_SW/KDZ Flasher.zip" archive - B2CApp, LGUnitedMobileDriver and MSXML and extract dir "FlashTool.1.0.54"
4) Switch off the phone - connect to USB
5) Turn the mobile on in DOWNLOAD MODE - phone is off and connected to USB - you see battery icon - now HOLD BOTH VOLUME BUTTONS (+/-) and POWER BUTTON (it takes about 3 seconds, then release - I tried to time it well many times, so be patient )
6) Look in the DEVICE MANAGER (in XPMode you have to connect the phone through upper bar first) and there should be "LG something" in MODEMS (if you don't see it then there is probably problem with drivers/connection - try to check points 1-5 again)
7) Now you have:
- downloaded your KDZ
- installed drivers and extracted folder "FlashTool"
- connected phone and DOWNLOAD MODE on it's screen
- "LG something" in DEVICE MANAGER-MODEMS
8) WIN7: in "FlashTool" folder set Compatibility Mode for both EXE files to WinXP SP3 first:
WinXP/WinXP Mode: just run as writen below :
- now run "WindowsEnabler" and click on icon in tray - you have to see ON icon in tray
- next run "UpTestEX" and set flash to (check image "01" for sure):
!DON'T BE RECKLESS AND CHECK YOUR SETTINGS BEFORE CLICKING ANY BUTTON!
----- TYPE: 3GQCT
----- PHONE MODE: CS_EMERGENCY
----- SELECT KDZ FILE: <CHOOSE YOUR KDZ>
----- NORMAL WEB UPGRADE TEST
----- UPGRADE START
- CHOOSE: DIFFERENT COUNTRY and language <WHICH ONE YOU WANT>
9) Wait and pray :
- phone should restart itself near the end (about 95%) - !IF YOU ARE FLASHING THE PHONE IN WINDOWS XP MODE THEN YOU HAVE TO CONNECT PHONE AGAIN THROUGH THE UPPER BAR IN WINXPM!
- you should se something like "FLASH COMPLETE/SUCCESSFULL" and "FINISH"
- it took about 25 minutes to me to complete whole process
- I recommend to do a HARD RESET of the phone after flashing
----- HOLD VOLUME DOWN (-) AND HOME KEY - THEN PRESS AND HOLD POWER BUTTON
----- release the buttons when you see LG logo (or try different timing/holding/releasing power button)
----- with POWER BUTTON confirm (twice) the reset
10) After boot your "reincarnated" F180L to E975 comes the part what took me 97% ot time to successfull "reincarnation" - get the signal (now you have iPod :laugh:
- in the phone enable UNKNOWN SOURCES (in SETTINGS-SECURITY) and USB DEBUGGING (in SETTINGS-DEVELOPER OPTIONS)
- connect the phone to USB - choose MTP and wait for the phone to connect (you should see him in "MY COMPUTER" as a device E975)
- from archive "F180LtoE975" (downloaded at point 2) extact folder "ROOT_OK" and copy "FramaRoot-1.6.1.apk" to SDCARD
- through file manager in the phone run that "FRAMAROOT.APK" file and ROOT your phone - only GANDALF works for me fine
- restart the phone and find and there should be added SUPERUSER in apps (if it's not then install some SuperUser app from Google Play (I am using this one)
- for sure you can install RootChecker
- next install CMW/TWRP- FreeGee works very well
11) Now you should have:
- phone with FW you choose (for example E975 EUR10h - check in SETTINGS-ABOUT PHONE)
- ROOT checked and working
- wrong baseband = no signal
12) Download this file:
Link: F180LtoE975_BB
13) Extract folder "BaseBandF180L_OK" (there was no problem in WIN7 with this procedure) and then:
- connect the phone to USB in MTL MODE and copy "BASEBAND.IMG" to SDCARD ROOT
- check "DEVICE MANAGER-ADB INTERFACE-LG "something"" (it should be OK - only if hou have installed drivers in WinXPMode and you are connecting the phone in WIN7 then you have to install those 3 files from point 2 and 3 above)
- so if you see ADB Interface for LG, you copied the IMG file to SDCARD and your phones ROOT is OK then ...
- just run "FLASH_BASEBAND.BAT" and wait for restart
- now you should be asked for PIN (if you use it ) and you should get a signal
Phone infomation (reincarnated):
E945 with EUR10h/<YOUR CHOICE> FW with F180L baseband + OK SIGNAL + ROOT + CWM/TWRP
Hope it is works ... thanks to all who made topics which I read a which helped me a lot.
Thanks for even a small donation ... if there will be any ... there will be more experiments.
Sorry for your trouble and long thread, but it took 10 mins max to do it. Don't know what guides you all are reading all over the internet.
Instead of all this, simplest is
1. Flash kdz 10x less than 1GB
2. wipe the phone
3. Root the phone
4. Use freegee to unlock and get cwm/twrp
5. Flash modem for f180
All this in 10 mins

I'm facing the same problem too. My phone went dead few days ago. Suspected on the battery problem. My wife accidently drop my phone at 1mtr height and suddenly my phone went dead.
At first i suspect softbrick. So i try to flash f180l kdz but failed due to error. After reading in thread i notice dat u cannot flash any kdz more than 1gb. So i downloaded hongkong kdz and succesfully flash my phone. But my phone still cannot switch on.
So wat i do is, i open the case and remove battery and put it back. After dat magically i can open it but no signal. So i root and then freegee and afterwards flash f180l modem.
Finally its working like charm now.

Its true as you wrote...
It looks easy and I found these steps too but:
- many KDZ links didnt work
- I wasnt sure to use freegee (and didnt try, cause there is chance of hard brick) - only CWM/TWRP without freegee and that "killed phone"
- I downloaded about 9 basebands/modems for F180 and only one has worked
- thats why I wrote it so detailed - and with own links and in the one topic
If anyone could please verify edge usability on his/her rom for f180, there seems to be a special kdz / baseband which unlocks international edge on korean(f180) device. I am in dare need of edge since my gprs network signal die out, where as edge signal prevails on my other device using same sim. Or if theres some other way to unlock edge i would be thankful

You need to unlock bootloader for recovery.
There is a very good post here about how to extract your modem iv done that to use the latest if you don't want to use Houston's.
You see everything you need already in here, no need to go out and search and get into trouble.

i flashed my f180l to e975 months ago..and bricked it several times..but i always find a way to restore it.
it seemed hardbricking is non existent anymore when flashing roms.
my phone is now an LS970 after flashing the miui rom..which is great.

Just flashing modem doesn't do anything to imei. It's the other partitions that do those things.

Never happened to me on my several phone's in 4 5 years.
It always the issue when the baseband.img is accompanied by few other files. Or if you flashed the baseband on wrong partition.

Problem flashing Indian KDZ image
Hi has any one been able to download and flash the Indian KDZ file E97510E_00.KDZ
which is provided here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2320817
I have downloaded the file 5-6 times but i am getting error while the Flasher unpacks the file.
I have been able to flash European KDZ on my Phone but not the indian one.
Anyone faced similar problem or has any solution would be very helpful.
Thanks for this detailed guide! I am a n00b to Android and found it perfect. Agree with OP that many links/files in other posts are dead and it's confusing. Good to have it all in one place. Thanks :good:

[q] flashed tot now no efs!!!

I have the efs info saved to my pc from a previous backup, but cant get it into the phone.. Anyone with some info on how to maybe sideload it via adb sideload in stock recovery???
This is my last ditch effort. Small back story: I somehow wiped EVERYTHING on my G2. EFS partition, ESN, data, SIM info., everything with dialer codes. All of my network information reads "unknown". I tried many methods from here on the forums to get this data back and it turns out I have lost my EFS partition- DNA for the network? I sent it to LG to get it fixed, having done a hard reset and leaving no trace of root. They sent it back without even asking and did no repairs. The note said "board bent". WTF?? How does the user bend the main board, especially when I never opened it? They voided my warranty and ripped off my IMEI/MEID sticker from the back of the phone.
Anyways, I am here with a brick. No network still. Here is what I have done:
1) .tot method to ZVC. Several more times... once to ZV7 where I lost touch capability. Luckily saved my arse with a micro->usb cable and a mouse.
2) attempted to root with ioroot25. Failed because the phone WILL NOT find recovery mode. adb, voldown+pwr then again from power off, and apps are unable to force the phone into recovery mode. I assume it is possible that my recovery mode is deleted?
3) Would have tried all of these "rewrite your efs/imei/etc" things but I can't do any without root. Can't root without recovery, can I?
4) Spent the last two weeks scouring the internet for a fix and going back to my Epic 4G temporarily.
Please help me, has anyone seen this before? Can anyone help me fix it? I am to the point where I would pay to have it fixed. Any experts out there? XDA has yet to let me down... I just need to know if I can fix it or if it is a brick so I can go searching for an old Sprint GS3.
Thanks all,
baublitz
That is strange, no recovery ?
So phone completely off, power and volume up doesn't put you into stock recovery?

Have you tried the recovery method detailed in this thread? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582142
Assuming you can get the file system partitions outlined in this thread to appear on a Linux PC, you should be able to write the partition images here http://downloads.codefi.re/autoprime/LG/LG_G2/LS980/Stock_Firmware/zvc_partitions and recover your phone (particularly if you have an EFS backup).

Rooting doesn't matter for purposes of that recovery method; the reason it is mentioned is because rooting can cause you to get into the soft-bricked situation if you happen to take an over-the-air (OTA) update while you're rooted.

[Q] Sprint LG G2 LS980 - no data, no signal, PLEASE help

Here is my OG post...please, anyone, help me to know what YOU would do in this case. I'm freaking out that I have a $500 paperweight I can't take back to Sprint because I'm rooted and on a custom ROM. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Please help me, anyone. I am freaking. I flashed this ROM per the instructions (no I did not do a backup, my fault). However, although the ROM loaded, it told me I needed a T-Mobile SIM for WiFi calling to work. That may have been discussed before. That is irrelevant.
Since flashing this rom (Yes, I did the ROM, Modem, Reboot, and Firmware as said)...I can only make "Emergency Calls," I can't connect to data, can't connect to Sprint cell signal, and for the first time I can't get LG Flash Tool to work to get me back to Stock.
Can someone, anyone please tell me what to do? I need my phone soon because I'm leaving, but nothing works!!!!

Hi if you have LS980 you need to download room for LS980 here is the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2754167
Than you need to boot into recovery twrp and than you need USB OTG Cable here is the link on ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/13cm-Micro-U...item35d4da865d
Copy LS980 room zip file to to flash drive connect to your phone thru recovery mount usb otg than flash ls980 zip
You will be back on Sprint and after that LG Flash tool will work to if you needed

Thanks again for your instructions and help. I got the OTG, followed your steps precisely, and it SAID it installed Stock ZVC successfully (twice, actually)...yet it still will only boot back into TWRP. In download mode, LG Flash tool still doesn't work. This computer has all drivers, Windows 7, and had no issues before this ROM.
Do you have any other ideas? Now I've bought a cable for no reason. Help, please!
__________________________________________________
EDIT: I used these instructions to get me out of the TWRP Bootloop:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2451696
Now I have the Stock Rooted ZVC Odex ROM installed, but STILL, no data, no signal connectivity. I try to update PRL and it says authentication error. I try to make a phone call and it says "Emergency Calls Only." This stuff ONLY happened after this (TMobile ROM). Please help me if you can. I've made major progress with your OTG instructions and getting out of the OTA TWRP Bootloop. Now how do I get past the "authentication" error and get the data and signal restored? Can Sprint do that from their side?
Edit # 2: I called Sprint, they walked me through fixing the MDN and MSID, factory reset, nothing works. It still shows "NO SERVICE," "AUTHENTICATION ERROR," AND ALTHOUGH IN MDN AND MSD my # is correct, in SETTINGS it shows my old (pre-port) phone number.
He told me to take it to a Sprint Store but clearly I can't because I'm rooted and on a debloated ROM. Please, any advice is so much appreciated.
Thank you,
BIlly

I've had this problem. I do think this phone can be wonky when using custom ROMs. Some people have no problem, others have constant problems, and some have problems SOMETIMES. There is no right answer so far.
I would just continue flashing different ROMs until something works. This worked for me: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2775888
But unfortunately now I have the dreaded touch dead-spot.
have you tried to tot back ?

Yes, they did (hence the reference to LG Flash Tools). It sounds likeyour EFS partition got wiped. If you didn't back up your EFS, I think you're kinda SOL. From what I've read it's nearly impossible to get back your EFS data if you don't have the files. If you can find a way to hack it out by using someone else's files, let me know. I have mine from every backup I've done and if I can remove my info from them I'll post them. Sorry to hear about your issue, hope you find a solution.

I think I have great news. I looked in my ioroot folder and found both of the files (3 MB each) that are modemst1.img and modemst2.img.
I created a folder on the Internal called EFS_Backup, and I copied and pasted those two files into the new folder, renaming them efs1 and efs2. They renamed and stuck in the folder just fine, but running the ADB commands didn't work. So I used the flashable EFS zip in TWRP and it said FAILED.
I'm thinking since I have these 2 files I should be able to fix this, right???? But...the thing that's driving me nuts is that LG Flash Tool, no matter what version, will NOT work on my device anymore. Not with either of my PC's.
Does anyone have a suggestion for what to do now that I found those modem files in my ioroot folder?
I feel like this is the closest I have gotten and now I'm stuck. LG Flash Tools never worked on Windows 8. The OLDER versions worked fine with .tot files BEFORE all of this happened, in Windows 7. Now even Windows 7 won't work to use LG Flash Tools, after I created this mess.
Can anyone PLEASE help me take these 2 files and get them to fix my EFS? I really don't know what I'm doing, clearly, or I would have backed up my EFS first. Problem here is probably same everywhere...I've always done this, never bothered with Nandroid or EFS backups, but also never had the issue of only having an internal memory on an Android device. Stupid mistake.
I would greatly appreciate any help that can be offered. I have one more day and I can still take this phone back...IF I can fix it. Thank you in advance!
PS: I Have my ESN, MEID HEX, MEID DEC, IMEI, ICCID AND IMSI - ALL POPULATED WITH NUMBERS IN SETTINGS. WHAT IS "UNKNOWN" IS MY PHONE NUMBER AND MY PRL.

I would love to, and it says I have joined but I can't see or talk to anyone. Looks simple but is confusing.
