Hi , hope u all feel good today
my problem is a little complicated so I'll try to list it in time manner :
- last year I got my AT&T I747 galaxy s3 and I really loved it.
-I wanted to use it with my T-mobile line so I rooted the device and I unlocked it .
-I used it for few months like this, then for some reason (can't remember) it started to act very strangely (Sth like Sudden Death Syndrome btw I used some android app and it showed that my device doesn't have the effected part that causes SDS ).
-I flashed custom rom (CM) using Odin and everything was wonderful.
-upgraded to CM 10.x.x(can't remember either) so far everything was just fine because I had Tmobile pay as you go line Internet was only through Wifi.
-I got new AT&T line and wanted to use the 4G Lte but it wouldn't work (neither 3g did) I didn't know why back then , I thought it was software so I flashed back to stock rom .
- 4g/3g didn't work on stock rom . I did some research and find out that IMEI could be the reason .I checked mine and it was 0 ... I looked for efs folder backup and found none .
-some idiot suggested I delete efs folder with root browser and restart the device , when I did so it showed yellow watermark with some info on it and a message says that I am on (factory mode) and the imei still 0 , no 3g/4g ... but it was still functional .
-someone also said that flashing to older stock rom could help , I did and evreything was the same (no 3g/4g , imei=0 , watermark , factory mode)
- I was about to give up then some guy from local store said he would fix it , he used some machine to erase the whole thing and rewrite it and he did now the device is working great and have 4g but with FAKE IMEI , the stock rom is getting on my nerve again .....my question is simply can I flash to CM and still have IMEI/4g ? how ? why imei was erased first time ? does the fake imei affect the phone anyway. ?
Thanks for your time and efforts .

am not an expert in IMEI info but i know this YOU SHOULD ALWAYS BACK UP IF YOUR EFS data files before rooting or getting into customs roms follow this link and it help you retrieve your lost EFS folder/files, fix it and propably have your phone back to normal
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1725839
i have also lost 3G/4G completely on my 1st time rooting THIS IS TRUE but i fixed it later on after discovering that i did not back-up my efs folder/files
anywz things will be fine, 1st get your IMEI back to normal and right and then you can procide to rooting/customs roms
Yup, just like WINOSXBUNTU said, after that, you should be back to normal. On a side note, I'M NOT A LAWYER but I think (in the case of what the guy that "fixed" it did) getting someone's IMEI and then spoofying it on a different phone with you not being the owner is illegal... But again, I'm not a lawyer, but just thought...

well I did ask him to get back my original IMEI , I thought the new one is just "random" ..... does it have to be from another device ? if it is , does that affect the other guy phone ?

If you wanna check out, compare the IMEI it shows you in the Settings menu to the one on the Samsung sticker behind the battery on the phone itself (Tip: Never post your IMEI anywhere, big no-no for you). I'm not an expert on how the whole IMEI spoofing works, but it could be something that there'd be more about online. But again, I'm not a lawyer!
Hello XDA, this is my first post, this comunity is awesome and helped me a lot for a couple of years now.
there always seems to be a solution to everything!
but now i realy ****ed up. i accidentaly checked the wrong thing on the so called "smart phone flash tool"
i klicked firmware upgrade instead of download only.
is there any way so rescue my phone? thank you very much in advance! :crying:
here is a screenshot: (i cant paste link because i am new):crying:
I'd better let someone more qualified answer your query but I'm pretty sure your situation can be recovered easily. What happens if you try to reflash the firmware again with the correct settings? These phones are pretty hard to brick!

there probably is SOME way to fix it, i am sure, but the phone does not even boot into recovery.
Mediatek phones are hard to brick, haha
It is PROBABLY going to give a headache in order to find the needed files, flash the stuff again and etc using the proper way, but PROBABLY your phone will relive again. Try rooting and installing Eragon after a full wipe, if that option is available.

I was in the same state when I accidentally flashed a the wrong logo.img file. I fixed it by doing a format on flashtool>stock rom>custom recovery>custom rom again!

I have make *#268# and in the engineer mode, calibrations statut, all it's -1.
In nv parameters, just calibration NV Backup file manual check failed. All is succeded.
go back to oppo forums or goolge and look for their unbrick tool. it should be a program with chinese characters. if you know what you are doing then connect wait and reboot. the rom installed should be a stock version of color os. if for any reason you are having issues with storage or connectivity try these steps. try re partitioning the device. if you can not do this try downloading an update 2.x.x ( side load it if you cant access storage or copy and paste to root of phone storage ) when you flash this itll give you the newer recovery with the option to merge the partition or not. at this step i would suggest doing a partition switch so sd card wont be an issue again. now as far as connectivity goes download coloros_modem_2.1.5i.zip you maybe able to find it via crdroid thread. flash via recovery right after rom before gapps, you should be functioning again
granted these steps helped me for my x9070

Sorry but i have try a lot of time the Sahara unbrick tool.
I have try many possibilities. But one resolved my problem because the NV items was deleted and my method was to backup the NV items of another Oppo Find 7 32go and reinject it with QPST (Qualcomm).
But i have the same IMEI of my friend backup.

Hello. I still have the same issue and unfortunately no backup of the NV partition.
I would be so happy if someone can send me a backup of the NV partition.
You can change the IMEI with an HEX-Editor to 999999999 for example before you send me your backup.
I am not interested in using your IMEI. I just want my phone working again. Thank you very much.

A37f NV backup needed
Brief :
Hello everyone,
I recently was asked by a friend to root his Samsung SM-G960F. I made sure to make a complete backup using ADB bridge and several other backup apps, in case anything happened.
I started using this tutorial :
Theandroidsoul - Samsung Galaxy S9 Root - (I'm sadly unable to post normal links because I'm a new user).
but due to certain unclarities, I was forced to follow another tutorial.
I ended up rooting using this method, following the instructions on this youtube video that seemed pretty straightforward and clear to me :
Waqar Khan - Video : watch?v=CfS0sEsAAtg
To resume it goes as follows :
1) - Installing TWRP :
- Toggling OEM Unlock and USB Debugging options.
- Using Odin.
- Flashing TWRP.
- Allowing modification on the system partition on TWRP.
- Wiping the data using TWRP and clicking on recovery afterwards..
- Flashing dm-verity and force encryption disabler zips.
---> TWRP fully functional.
2) - Rooting of the device :
- Flashing the N960F_Root_for_OEM_issue-devices from the SD card.
- Selecting "Patching the OEM and rooting with SuperSU".
DONE.
Note : It didn't contain anything about "Magisk" and according to the androidsoul website, I should've probably not allowed the System partition modification.
Problem :
The phone experiences now every now and then the Screen of Death/Deep Sleep : It gets blocked on the lock screen while it's partially showing it but stays unresponsive and I'm forced to hard reboot the phone faced with the apprehension and incomprehension of my friend.
I looked on the internet and the problem seems to be pretty recurrent. Many users are also experiencing this problem and like myself have no idea what to do. Some propose to install SOD-Killer to temporarily solve the issue. Some propose installing a custom ROM like elementalx without providing any further details on its compatibility with the root already installed above. Now even with SOD Killer, if the phone isn't charging at night, it gets discharged fast, and sometimes turned off by itself.
What are my options now ? How to repair this root, or undo that altogether ?
I read somewhere it might be because of KNOX not being completely/correctly disabled. Something must be triggering the SOD right ?
Is there an actual solution to this problem or should I go to stock ROM somehow ? Some users still experience this problem even if they rolled back to stock firmware. How to correctly unroot ? Can I unroot using my ADB backup or does it not include the partition system ?
I would be endlessly grateful if anyone could give me some of his time and help me solve this delicate situation.
Thank you very much for your help.

Thank you for your reply.
Dear God, I just noticed that. I just followed the tutorial on theandroidsoul . com/ samsung-galaxy-s9-root / Would you please be so kind and help me fix it ? I really don't know what to do next. My friend's expressed his discontent many times now and I'm really embarrassed. I would be really grateful if you could help me.

Why not try from the scratch again.
Like going full stock.
Atleast that's what i do on Xperia XZ.
I guess Samsung is difficult.

Flash stock > Follow tutorial on XDA for the G960F
Use Odin to flash stock.
Get stock from sammobile website.
Then RESEARCH before rooting.

Then never offer to do this for a friend ever again.
Thanks to all of you for your propositions. I will try to do like you said and get back to a stock ROM. I will indeed avoid to ever root for someone else again. This is too big a responsibility for me to take.
hello guys I have the other Redmi Note 8 Pro phone like you. Today I just installed the AIDA64 and DevCheck app out of curiosity. After opening the first app, I found out that I don't have a xiaomi phone but a samsung s10 + !!! I tell myself that there will be an error in the app, so I run the second one and it also diagnosed my phone as SAMSUNG S10 + ... I go to settings / information about the phone / model and hardware .. and here again I find out that my phone model is SM-G975F! !! does anyone know how this is possible? or what to do? I'm using BLISS ROM (version 12.11) I tried reflash the system but it didn't help ..
Its probably something wrong with AIDA64, no need to worry about such a bug

hi it's not that i am afraid ? together i tried 5 apps for HW and SW information and they all detected my tel as SAMSUNG S10 + instead of RN8P. I noticed that even with internet payments, the site detects tel samsung instead of xiaomi ... I have no idea how it could have happened or how to return it. ??

It could be due to some wrong entries on the build.prop file.
Don't worry, just re-flash the stock ROM with fastboot method and come back to a Custom ROM whichever you wish...

hello
buddy i thought so too but build.prop. is fine ? it occurs to me that it could be related to the SafetyNet check in the Magisk administrator, which I did not go through a few days ago. on the BLISS ROM support pages I found a file (codm + cts.zip) which flashes via magisk. the module name HARDWARE OFF is listed in the module manager. this is the only thing that occurs to me that it could cause it, but maybe I'm also writing completely out of the bowl here
PS: after flashing the file, I go through SafetyNet without a problem ..
