Pressed read range and then write. Now efs is corrupted. Not shows sid nid and channels. I tried many ways but failed. Please help me.

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?
I don't have insurance

So if I give you my qpst file you can change the imei? I don't use the GSM part so I don't care, but very interested in knowing if I can change the imei to match my meid.

I don't know if imei can be changed. I also don't care about that now. I just want to fix radio information to original setting so i could use this phone again. If you have backup of qpst please post it. It seems you are not going to upload the file.

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.

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,

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?
I flashed the marshmallow based chinese MIUI beta rom but it didnt work well so I changed back, when I restored back to my previous rom I had lost my IMEI and MEID.
I managed to restore the IMEI and the phone works fine, however when I dial *#06# I see my IMEI number but not my MEID, MEID just says its "null".
Is it bad to not have a MEID number?`Should I try to restore it?
No need to restore as long as you are able to make/receive calls or SMS.
IMEI is used for identifying mobile devices on GSM networks, whereas MEID is used for identifying on CDMA networks.

Come on then, share with us? I've got an MEID on my phone, but it's wrong. I accidentally restored EFS from my other phone without taking a backup, now both my phones have same MEID, IMEI, mac addresses,, etc
I've hex edited the IMEI and wifi mac address but can't find the MEID. I also have no fingerprint scanner working in any rom, I really messed this up lol

Ok i need help with my device.
I got a s6 edge SMG925I a while ago, yesterday an update (i guess its called OTA) popped up and i installed it. after the installation was completed but now i'm not registered on network, and i can't detect my SIM card.
Note: my IMEI is NOT blocked.
So far all my efforts were for nothing.
All the info i got so far by searching
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)
Android ver. 6.0.1(marshmallow)
Possible cause:
EFS Folder corrupted
Bad Stock installation
Already tried:
Rooting (i wasnt able to root)
Installing latest stock rom
installing the old rom
QPST to change IMEI
Please help me guys
EDIT:
I figured out what happened, my efs got deleted somehow, i got no backup, is there a way around this? help me please

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.

I managed to erase IMEI and backup as well. Evrything got complicated after flashing AT&T firmware with Medusa. That is first time SIM lock showed and stayed on ever since.
I can get V60 to work with 600N firmware but it does not work propperly as reciveng sms takes for ever.
Now there are many threads on restoring lost IMEI by editing qcn backup from other working phone and replacing IMEI with your own.
I did that and got confi3from original owner of proper qcn file that I have indeed replaces his IMEI with mine. Flashing edited qcn file with QFIL was repported as successful but IMEI is still 0.
There are som suggestion on rewriting FSG, Modemst1 and 2 with zeroes but dd command used for that purpose report that there is not enough space.
Any idea? All suggestions are welcome and wil be tested ny me.

Don't worry! Everything's gonna be alright ;) You may accidentally erase all partitions and GPT on your phone. Nothing is shown in "Partition Manager". Since there's no Rawprogram XML file we need an alternative method to get the phone back on...

I don't delete anything? I leave the partitions how are they? Thanks for the help.
Yes,restore them with fh_loader like netmsm's guide says.No,leave everything as is and just flash away!Make sure you make a back up first just in case anything goes wrong.
