SPH-L900 Nandroid backup file

Sorry if this post is in the wrong place (first post). Looking for a place where users could post nandroid backups for an SPH-L900. I had a microSD get corrupted and now I have no backup (which is why I actually need one now). Thanks in advance and again sorry if post is in the wrong place.

Thread moved to Q&A
Mark.

You dont want to restore a nandroid from another phone onto yours. Even if it the exact same model and everything there are still unique serials/MACs and other info on each phone and if you use someone elses it will jack things up for the both of you. All you need is just a new SDCard or fix the one you have, drop a new rom on it and flash it.

Right you are thanks. Did some more digging and more reading and I guess a nandroid backup doesn't store or restore modem/radio info. What would I need to restore modem/radio? SD card has been formated and is good to go. Installed several ROMs but my baseband info and imei is blank with all of them.

Under Settings -> Update Profile - wait a minute and click ok. Should get everything back that you need I believe. SD-Card shouldn't have caused the problems you are experiencing.

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?

I had the phone before switching to TMO. You can try to flash a stock tar and see if that will help if not then you will need to go back to Sprint and get a new referb. It sucks I know but thats all you can do.

big mistake! need help urgent please!

hey so guys, i just flashed cwm recovery latest .43 and i was going through my usual routine of wiping for a new rom.... well this new cwm has a new wipe called wipe factory (i pressed it by accident because i am so use to having wipe sd card there) and then a few minutes later i bump into this post concerning it
now my IMEI is a generic 00499 and have no call signal at all!
and i dont have a backup!
how can i fix this?
why was such a dangerous option in CWM recovery......?

anybody please, let any help you can!

BUMP, please does anybody know any solutions?

thanks but all those methods require backup of original EFS folder, which i do not have

i freaking hate CWM for all it stands for
what kind of dumb idea is to have format factory folder in there?

yeah i actually tried that method but it was a no go. my /data/radio was "touched" already
thanks though

i wanted to bump this.
so heres what happened. i went to my tmobile store to buy a micro-SIM card for my new Moto G. The register guy thought I was gonna use it right away (but i didn't because the Moto G was still on its way via delivery) so he prematurely cut my old sim card and switched my phone number to the new micro-sim card. When I had realized this- i went back to the store and told him about the mistake.
Since you cannot reactivate a sim card that has been cut, he gave me a fresh regular sized sim card for free with my number back on it and so I went home.
Now for fun, i figured "hey what happens if i put this new fresh sim card inside my galaxy nexus with the nuked generic IMEI?"
............ to my SHOCK, my notification drawer said "T-MOBILE" and I had full bars of signal. I could call, I can text and everything! I went to my system information in settings menu and it still had the generic 00049 IMEI! So for those who had my same problem, try replacing the sim card!

First of all you post help in the wrong section.
It's against the law to change the IMEI so this fourm will not be able help you.

Well then, from what I know I the easiest way is through efs backup. I really hope you have made a full Rom backup if not I remember there was another method but it wasn't going to be easy. Hopefully someone here can guild you in that direction.

no I don't have a backup of the rom. I thought that the engineering mode menu can help. I saw a video tutorial online about it. And if u still have a better option pls guide me through

1. Questions go in Q&A
2. Can you not restore the backup you made before rooting his phone?

Download Rom to your fastboot folder on computer.
Go to recovery and sideload the Rom. It should upload and then automatically flash for you.

Follow instructions well enough to post in the wrong section
Anyway, you can always use the sideload function. Download a ROM zip, place it in the same folder as your fastboot/adb programs and then select sideload within your recovery and follow the instructions. If you need more detailed instructions just google how to sideload with TWRP/CWM (whichever one is installed on your phone).

What rom??

OK, a few things needed...
1. Can you connect the phone when in fastboot mode and then use the following command:
fastboot oem readcid
and post the result? I wanna know so I can get the right back up for you
2. Which custom recovery is on the phone at present?

Pick one! If you want Sense go with Android Revolution, Viper, InsertCoin, Hyperdrive - they're all in the Android Development Section.

METHOD-1
If you want to be as close to stock rom you should download ARHD it is the best rom I have ever seen.If you are a total NOOB then simplest way is copy your desired rom(ARHD,IC,SD,Viper etc) to your ext-sd(if you have one or if you have an otg you may use it)then inside TWRP navigate to ext-sd then flash it!.
METHOD-2
You can do it via sideload-instructions are http://teamw.in/ADBSideload here.
Note: I would suggest to give the output of the following command before so that you dont mess with the device.fastboot getvar all then we might be able to help you out

Also there is another best way you dont have to think much is Flash Stock Rom And then ruu.
You can follow this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2735235.
Note:Method 3 is a risky method especially for a noob the best way is method 2.Also if you want to try method 3 I would suggest to give the output of the following command before so that you dont mess with the device.fastboot getvar all then we might be able to help you out

My guide won't work as it's a branded phone. Easier to just flash a custom ROM or restore a stock backup but I'm waiting on the OP to post the CID to get the right backup for them
