Strange EFS/smth else error? (P1a42) - Lenovo Vibe P1 Questions & Answers

Flashed my phone and forgot to do the EFS backup, so now I'm stuck I don't even know what without any way of removing it. Can't flash any custom ROMs (which was the only purpose of flashing in the first place) because of it.

I did QFIL stock restore and got bootloop from static lenovo logo. I've done this quite a few times now. Is there a way to flash radio or something different?

Okay last effort i can give you, just use google translate here
Make sure if you learned and understand correctly, and as your last to try
Edit : before steping further to that link
You said only boot with stock rom, bootloop with custom rom. Had you ever, by any mean ticked the SElinux fix permision? Well, if you ever done that, you will have bootloop with CM rom, no matter if you reflashed again. I had this experience while flashing my friend device, but fixed already, now running in cm12.1
Otherwise, i had no clue for your problem...

Soft Bricked D855

Okay, so a few days ago I had a completely stock LG G3 D855 v30n Marshmallow. Then I decided I wanted to root it and flash fulmics. So I flashed the v30b kdz with lg flash tool and rooted the phone with rootking. Everything worked perfectly until I flashed the ROM. I made a nandroid backup with TWRP and I downloaded the fulmics 6.6 zip of the xda forum and put it onto my external sd card. I tried to flaash it onto my phone but it wouldn't work (it kept reloading into recovery mode every time I tried to flash it). I thought the problem was I was using an old version of TWRP. So I flashed my backup and soft bricked my device. I have access to download mode. Could someone please help me in unbricking my phone and is it even possible to flash a rom in my situation? Thank you very much in advance.

I've the same model, working fine with me, so let me tell you what I'd done..
downloaded the recovery from moto.shreps.fr by choosing my device and the last 3.1.0 build and renamed it to twrp.img
try the same and first, boot this twrp temporarily using
fastboot boot twrp.img
if twrp works then return to fast boot and flash using
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
done. ?

is that problem persisting during backup or restoration?
if you're having problem in restoration then
Decide which backup file you want to restore.
3. Rename that file from "msgstore-YYYY-MM-DD.1.db.crypt" to "msgstore.db.crypt"
4. Install WhatsApp
5. When asked to restore, tap [Restore]

When you took backup of MIUI Rom did you took vendor backup? I think you didn't take backups of vendor image and efs backup too. I have been through this problem after that I realized I did not backup vendor and efs backup, I think it has something to do with kernel version or vendor image backup.
Then I need to flash entire fastboot ROM again right
you get bootloop cause your data files from miui are incompatible with RR rom.

In TWRP to skip the password requirement I touched cancel and touched wipe (without a custom wipe), and after doing so I made an error, but after trying a couple of hours later the same thing came out, until I tried 3 more times in a row and he left me, after that I could finally use LineageOS 17.1

Your loss of imei had nothing to do with formatting data and more to do with flashing rom
Make sure you're on oero firmware & reflash that firmware fully via fastboot
Flash a custom rom that gives you imei (you will have to try them - try the oero twrp flashable stock rom too) and then back up efs so you can restore it if problem happens again

You need to format data
TWRP - wipe - format data (option on the right)
Reboot to recovery & flash rom again
Or in fastboot do
fastboot erase userdata
Either way backup anything on internal storage (pics docs music etc) first as this will be deleted

I managed to re flash the stock Oreo 8.1 firmware through Lenovo Moto Smart Assistant hoping to get the IMEI back and automatically re-lock the boot-loader but neither happened, still no IMEI and Boot-loader is still unlocked, what to do now?

If running
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
Doesn't bring your imei back like I said - try different custom roms (especially the last where imei worked)
Else you will need a motherboard replacement if you can't work out a way to restore it
And never re-lock the bootloader 'if you hard brick your device again due to ota update because the firmware you flashed was wrong you will never be able to re-flash the device

So basically your advice is to find a stable custom rom where the IMEI shows and just stick with it correct?

Please read my past responses carefully
I said once you have found a custom rom that gives you imei you can then back up efs partition using a 64bit twrp to restore it if you loose it in future (or using other roms)
