Can you verify the authentic properties of this program? I'm wary of using programs that I am unsure about that require root... especially from a non-recognized developer.
No offense meant just curious.
Thanks

so this is just backin up the 2 efs partitions, modemst1 and modemst2? but in app form instead of my script?
the efs backup function has also been added to TWRP.
this could be useful until TWRP is working for the D802 international variant.

you should probably create a new thread and get help for this. Like the link in the OP said, efs folder are unique to each device because it also contain imei/esn number. Using someone else back up wont help you with your phone. maybe theres a different fix.

We could if we had something that would allow these files to be converted to a format that is readable by a hex editor, and then convert them back. I have been trying to find something like this for a while but I can't find anything. If anyone knows and would be willing to share, I am sure a great many of us would appreciate it!
Tks @hoangnova :good:
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

One question,
I can not really back up the IMEI and EFS by solid explorer or TWRP?
I'm a newbie!
For all lg devices? or only G2?
after flashing d800 with tot i lost the imei of the phone
how to repair it?

Hi guys, hopefully you can help me here as I'm at my wits end. I've tried everything I can think off and can't fix this blasted phone.
To be honest I have no idea how all of a sudden I lost my nv_data.bin and IMEI as first my phone wouldn't boot because of an error with the /efs folder.
After numerous searches online I managed to finally get it working by using odin and flashing CM9 for the Galaxy S2, I tried others and none of them worked. From here I used tools like GSII Repair and Ktool and was able to create a nv_data.bin but IMEI still gone but at least I'm back to having a baseband.
My issue is now that I can't restore my IMEI number any backups or nv_data.bin or.baks where gone, I tried all the tricks online to restore and nothing.
I have the generic IMEI "004999010640000" and of course can't connect to mobile network.
Is there anyway that I can manually add in the IMEI number to fix this issue??
Thanks in advance.

They may have better tools than we do.
You could try flashing the ROM the device came with.
I too have this issue with a friend's phone (as some dumb ass tech guy flashed a branded firmware without backing up EFS) , so I have to flash any ROM I can get my hands on without the certainty that it would actually work.
Some guys did report that it worked.

you need special hardware to recreate the efs folder and rewrite the imei.. changing the imei is illegal on most countries so its obvious that it wont be easy to change... the service center has the tools to recreate the efs folder... flashing software will not fix the corrupted efs and would probably make it even worse...
our methods for flashing:
computer ----> phone
specialists and service center:
computer ----> "special hardware" ----> phone
you can do a search on the internet on what "special hardware" they use but i doubt that that would be for sale in a country where changing imei is illegal
software alone cannot recreate the efs folder nor write a new imei.. all you can do without the hardware is try to recover your corrupted efs if still possible.. if it comes to the point that it needs to be recreated or rewritten then it would be impossible without the said hardware

Wow, that IS bad. Problem is some NVItems can't be read so when you try to write those it will write blanks (0's) or not write them at all. If you already wrote from a phone that does read them you might have corrupted your NVitems. Is insurance an option?

Im asking a few questions first, no need for attitude. And NO, I am not posting it here publicly, I am sending you a PM with a download link. So once I take out my personal info, create the qnc (sp?) file I will upload and send you a PM.
EDIT: PM sent.
For the record, I'm not the one who messed up the phone, you are asking me to send you my QCN file which contains all my info and that requires me to zero out the phone first THEN reprogram my phone, doing it as a favor, no need to get cocky.
A friend of mine went aboard and had his SGS4(I9505) unlocked. He came back a few days ago and yesterday he came and the phone was not able to register on the network. His IMEI was 'Unknown', so apperantly I wm assuming that the flashing went bad.
Last night i tried:
- Flashed CM 11 official
- Flashed Google Edition 4.4
- Flashed Stock 4.3(H3G)
But nothing worked. I was getting some notifications from KNOX and remember reading that it sometimes it messes with flashing ROMs.
So basically my question is ehat can I do to get the IMEI back. I do not have an EFS backup (nor any backup in that matter). I am dont know what info should I provide to ease you guys in resolving this issue, but will do on demand(and eventuwlly with little info on how to get it ).
Any suggestions are welcomed and appreciated.
NOTE: I AM NOT DOING THIS AS COMMERCIAL SERVICE, NOR AM RESPONWIBLE FOR THE CURRENT SITUATION.

Problems:
Not registered on network
when typing *#06# it only show S/N
About device it shows IMEI: Unknown
did not back up the efs folder (but i GUESS the folder is still there and somehow the new stock can't access it)

Rooting (i wasnt able to root)
Installing latest stock rom
installing the old rom
QPST to change IMEI

How about a simple reset from the settings menu? But I am pretty sure, if you somehow deleted the IMEI imformation, your chances are not the best. You'd have to find a way, to get write thatbinfo back. What you could do is ask someone else to backup that partition for you and change the values according to your phone ( IMEI, serial number,...) Then flash this partition info back. Good luck!

i think you can install CM recovery (TWRP) then you can process the backup of your old rom from the recovery.
just enter in recovery mode then you'll find "restore" choose all the files ( i think there will be like this: System, Cashe, Efs, Boot...) then hit Restore botton, and wait for it to boot up hope this helps you bro

Try to get the efs partition holding the information from someone else, change it to your IMEI, serial,... And flash that partition to your phone and you should be good. I guess you'd have to use a hex editor to get that done. I am not rooted, so I can't back it up for you.

Why did you use Chip Erase? That's what Chip Erase does. It wipes out IMEI. In none on the Instructions for WTF or Frankenstein does it say to use Chip Erase on LGUP.
You'll have to Google how to do that. On XDA we can't talk about how to change IMEI.

You're crazy or very lucky. Chip Erase WILL delete IMEI. That is what it does.
Straight from the manual:
https://9to5lg.com/lgup-1-15-manual-how-to-unbrick-restore-your-lg-devices-with-lgup/
3) ChipErase: Dangerous, This will erase IMEI/efs, Do not try this if you do not have a NV backup.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
All I know is every one who reports they used chip erase in the Frankenstein thread wiped their IMEI. It's not part of ANY instructions in this forum, so any one who does it in on their own.
Here's the remainder of the explanation:
REFURBISH： You will lost all user data（KDZ or TOT）
2) UPGRADE: Keep data and update your phone（KDZ or TOT）
Select Upgrade to flash kdz firmware to unbrick/restore your phone back to stock.
3) ChipErase: Dangerous, This will erase IMEI/efs, Do not try this if you do not have a NV backup.
Chip Erase can also remove the Google FRP on many LG devices with Android 5.0, 6.0. (Such as LG H345, LG MS345)
4) PARTITION DL：flash the single Parition or selected paritions onto your phone.
This feature can solve “unkown model” issues. This feature can be used to bypass google frp by flashing specific tot firmware.
5) DUMP：Dump all paritions of your phone as backup.,
AT&T and Spring LG phone users who may need this feature to dump the firmware from a working phone as back up and use Patition DL to restore phones.
6) FOTA Upgrade: This can be used to flash OTA Update file that comes with dot up file extention.

try restore modem image via partition backup restore if you don't have one, try to pull from other V30 or other lg phone you have. Don't expect your phone will be normal as before, it's just some experiment that I suggest since you don't have any answer yet.
If you have a twrp EFS backup use that to restore. If not then you likely won't be able to restore it

and instead of 815, replace with your phone model number e.g 930, 931, or 932...

this is the program that I messed up my device with it (hard brick) after i restore edited efs partition .
it cost me about 30 $ to boot it with medusa box in repair shop.
So I became not afraid to break it so much that I did chiperase several times and did not even lose Imei.

Please, no one else do that. You will lose IMEI. Only this one person says they have not lost IMEI using Chip Erase in LGUP, especially our Dev Patched LGUP.

maybe because my device is repaired ?
I think I lost IMEI using one of the TWRP version switching to another LS998. My backup of the first was on a different TWRP version I didn't recognize the feature/version difference. So my old device backup of everything didn't have the same partitions as the new phone TWRP was capable. I wiped everything on the new device and restored everything SMH... Everything worked well except I went ahead and erased data because encryption. But later when I was checking for Gpay I realized my IMEI was 0. Lame. Obviously I still have the IMEI I even double checked it against the numbers captured by Android Find Device (not everyone knows that's there) but no way to restore it it seems.
Now I have a terrorist phone, as they call it, I guess. Anyway everything still works etc coming back from airplane mode takes a restart most times, and Gpay contactless payments cards stopped adding. FYI I guess for others. Still rocking my V30. Like my neighbor Chazmatt I might just buy another one lol one day and keep this one as the family backup. Otherwise I'm still using it full time.
2 day search Google, I repaired my phone imei but SN still emplty, i used Kingtool software. Every one can fix it if lose imei !
