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

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.
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.

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

Make sure you still have the box for legit imei.
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 !

Just for info: I have used the qualcomm nv tools from above (and set the port check test) and it worked for me!
Now I got my IMEI back!!! yipiieh

It's mean that you fixed your problem?
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.
Thank you.
