My phone is bricked, it's in the Qualcomm QDLoader mode (QHSUSB_DLOAD).
I took it to a shop to get it jtaged with the riff box but they could not get it to connect for some reason :crying: so I really need to get it fixed using USB.
It seems they have the solution here:
http://www.zpsjbbs.com/thread-5097-1-1.html
But I cannot figure out how to register and download the .hex and .mbn files. Of course I googled those files and got another ones but they did not work, the specific files for the E980 are needed.
Does anyone have access to those files in that forum?
Thanks in advance,
David

As it is non-English do not know what the link is...however, if it powers up the return to stock worked for me...
That sounds like something beyond a simple flash back to stock. If you took it for jtag and they could not get it, your only real option is LG service.
Sorry, but that sucks.

LG service was my first option and they did not take my phone because it's an US model and I'm not in the US.
I just want the files from that link and try with QPST and see what happens
I already got the files. They are not good for the E980

It works fine for e980, of course you need e980's image file to make it work

How could i help you ?
You mentioned link that provided the positive solution for you.
Or you need simple to send LG to get warranty service.

Hey guys I bought my sg3 about 3 months ago from a friend who had cynogen mod on the phone and it worked fine but I had cynogen mod on auto update and now my imei shows as 0 via *#06# and I cant call or text etc. Unfortunately I do not have a backup from when the imei worked because I didnt expect it to do this. So far Ive removed cynogen mod and reset it to stock firmware but im having the same issue any suggestions?
Its the SGH1747 version

Your baseband is probably corrupted. You may try reflashing a stock modem/baseband via recovery. I had a similar problem once, although I was on stock ROM, and re-flashing the modem zip worked.
I, however, tread very carefully here as I am aware the forum is wary about discussions relating to IMEI.

Don't know if you're willing to pay to have this repaired but here's a site that does it. I've done stuff with them before. Very good service.

You can look up peoplearmy's method (google it). You will not find help on how to fix IMEI on XDA. I had my IMEI wiped out a while back after flashing a bad rom. I had to get it put back, and then had to get LTE back.
Good luck.

Can you go to Settings => About Device and see what you have under Baseband version? Whilst you are there, also check what Android version it says and the build number.

Everything looks OK as your baseband version would likely read 'unknown' if it's bad. You may, however, still try re-flashing the modem via the method posted in the attached thread ... Please proceed at your own peril as I offer no guarantee that this will work or will not result in damaged phones,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1831898
Please note you will need custom recovery (e.g. CWM or TWRP). You will find instructions for installing custom recovery at the bottom of the thread. If this doesn't work, then you may try doing a hard wipe from recovery and reinstalling everything including system ROM, modem and kernel.
Hope it works out for you.
Simple fix is to reinject imei which located behind the battery.. But sometimes for some reason if you do this, you'll stuck with edge network, can be fix though but you gotta go back to stock in order to do so

I'm in the same boat as you once were. I lost my imei and had to inject it back, now I have no LTE service anywhere.. It says LTE but no internet connection. Any help? Sorry if I threadjacked here but I've been dealing with this for a year now and I really need a solution...

you will have to google peoplearmy imei lte and find the tutorial on how to restore imei and get LTE back.
You will not be able to find the thread on XDA because XDA deleted it sometime ago. I was like you and lost my imei. Once I re-injected it using a tutorial on XDA, I was stuck on edge. Then I finally found peoplearmy's tutorial, downloaded the programs and followed the steps to get LTE back. I got it back and haven't lost it since.

I can't find the link, can you PM me it?
I had that happen to me with a 0 on my phone and was able to get it back I had no backup either what I did is go on the NV Data restore or NV writer thread and downloaded the NV writer and put myself back on stock ...I went thru a few pages in the post and someone had a file where you could put your IMEI into that file maybe it was set up thru notepad but you could fill in the zeros with your IMEI and name it I think a txt.file after then open the NV writer and instead of backing it up cause you can't just restore that file where you fill in you're IMEI and it went right back into my phone. There also a video on that page how to do it. You just need basically that file to put your IMEI back in. I might still have it if not keep going thru the post took find it. There a picture of what it looks like to restore if you list it but every time I tried to open that link to restore it wouldn't let me. Hope it wasn't to confusing but it's basically a white box with a bunch of zeros and replace the zeros with your IMEI and save it as atxt. File I believe and just restore it as shown in the video for backing it up but just restore instead it does work cause I didn't have an IMEI on my phone it just had a zero

Okay story so far, got Zuk Z2 from BG China to replace Mi5 that had a tumble
After a couple of weeks I decided to flash Custom Rom (LinageOS *UNOFFICIAL), seemed fine then I lost Network totally on both SIMS.... Zero bars! I've tried all sorts of ROMS and flashes of Baseband firmwares but to no avail. Now I think I've confused myself.
So if anyone has any advice before I cast this device from a high roof it would be most appreciated.
Thank you :good:
You flashed already different basebands via fastboot, erased modem after that?
Tried flash stock ZUI via qfil?
After all no network? IMEI's are there?

When it first gave up network I checked IMEI and it seemed to have duplicated them for both sim but after I QFIL back to ZUI 2.5 they returned perfectly... I've gone through the whole erase modemst process but still FUBAR....
Even stripped the device down to bits and checked the internal connections.
He strange part is I get the emergency only msg on sim so guessing the network is recognised but the signal is -90 dBm at best, getting to as bad as -130 dBm.
Even considering writing the IMEI from old bust Mi5 to handset to see if this would help...

I had a dabble with QCN and managed to replace corrupt IMEI's but still didn't help. Can't be sure the BASEBAND was correct though.. I'm yet to try a full FACTORY DEFAULT configuration as suggested but will be this week.
Been suggested the IMEI may be blocked for some reason but seems unrealistic as it was working prior to FLASH.

Hello! I upload a capture of all the errors. I'm very interested in solving the IMEI. Thanks for your help!
On stock firmware does it show a correct IMEI?
If so, the problem is random flashing.
Do you have backup of the .cert and or .efs files?
If so, search on how to use them.
If you know the IMEI and it is network blacklisted, use a service for unlocking it. Online you can find it.
I hope I helped.

I don't know if it helps, but when I flashed a Combination for my phone, when i had an unknown IMEI, it showed me one working and network working too but I don't know if you can make use of that IMEI or even if it is valid.
And solved my unknown IMEI just by flashing last stock rom.
If you have your phone rooted, you can extract those files via adb, plenty of tutorials online.

Hm what is left is just to flash stock, keep it in a wifi connection 168 hours and then flash twrp for rooting the phone and getting those files, lets hope they are not corrupted.
The waiting it is because samsung have seven days as the time.for the bootloader to be unlocked and allowing the phone to be modified.
Good luck.
Also, if you are interested in more details about the waiting for rooting:
