OOS efs backup needed - OnePlus X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I need the latest OOS efs backup, in order to test the signal strength solution in cm based roms, and since I don't have a backup in hand right now, I would like someone to provide me one so I can test it in sultans cm13 rom. Thanks for helping.

You have the Oxygen RIL. What are you hoping to accomplish with an EFS backup? I believe EFS partitions themselves are exclusive to the device as they have the IMEI

No idea whether or not it's usefull, might be device specific...
Attached my EFS backup from latest OOS!

I wonder if it's device specific. Maybe someone can help with this, before I ruin my day. Hehe
I was wondering if using the efs backup for improving signal in cm roms, as mentioned somewhere in here.

It contains your phone imei. You shouldn't upload like this.

So I have to make my own efs backup from OOS, and restore it after installing a custom cm rom.

Yes, you have to make backup of your phone. Don't flash efs of other's, it will brick your phone. It is just for safety precaution . You don't need to restore it after flashing ROMs because none of the ROMs are wiping efs partition.

Good. Never share that partition lol

Ok. You ve been very helpfull. So if one time I've installed OOS, the efs partition is permanent and never deleted by any rom installation. Even if I wiped everything apart from my external SD card. Thanks a lot.

[Q] Signal problems

Hey guys i have been having some signal problems with my ace, but I only have them when inside my house. This started happening when I flashed gingerbread 2.3.5 to get a custom rom for my Ace (which is awesome btw!) the rom I am currently using is WP7 Rom by Jinavs. I have googled & searched a lot and all I found was a code to change the GSM too 900/1800 but I tried the code and it said that it was invalid, the code is *#2263#. Then I read something about changing the phone's modem is this possible on custom firmware? I never had any problems when I was on Stock Froyo 2.2.1. Any help guys?
Also master reset or factory reset does not work :/
what I do sometimes is airplane mode or turn off the phone and it sometimes works
and it only happens inside my house it works fine in any other place.
Any help will be appreciated
Use 2.3.4 Asia version ddkq6 no signal problems.and use cm7.2 fat kang by frozen ace more steadier ...
Hit thanxs if I helped

I'm from Puerto Rico if that changes anything. Also is this risky? would it brick my phone because the Rom I'm using is based on XWKS2
Also how would I flash the modem only?
And I would like to keep this rom because I love WP7 xD
Anyone? :/

create a cwm backup then. the point of reflashing stock rom is to get correct modem for your region. after that u can just restore the cwm backup, it wont overwrite the modem.

whole rom. even if after flashing it doesnt boot/stuck on boot/bootloop, just restore previous cwm backup and see if the modem version in phone setting changed

clear data/factory reset from cwm. note that u'll lost all data when doing so, but if its not working either even after factory reset then just restore the cwm backup

CM9 for p509

So i want to try cm9 on my p509. I've tried many times to upgrade the baseband, but whenever i do i get no gsm and my imei disappears. trust me i've followed the guide EXACTLY. so i just stick with old bb. I want to flash to this cm9 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1614420. My question is if i flash this rom will it brick my phone (because i'm on old bb). if it won't then can someone post a link to a old bb fix so i can get data working on my phone when i flash it. I need this info urgently because i'm about to travel in a few hours and want to flash before i do. Thank you!
It will not brick your phone, and I haven't the FIX yet.

Guys i'm stupid. i was trying to update the baseband while using cm 7.2 (i used an old bb-fix for data) so i flashed cm9,, and then updated the baseband and it works!!!! so now my question is, if i re-flash cm 7.2 and am still on the upgraded baseband will it work?

I think, it doesn't work. The ROM boots, but you have no signal etc. Even restore a nandroidbackup doesn't downgrade the baseband.

Why would he need to downgrade
Both cm7.2 and cm9 run on new baseband,right?
Though not sure what restoring nandroid will do in this case as then it would have old-bb fix on new baseband:cyclops:
yeah i hear ya. so is it reccomended that i reflash cm 7.2 so then i coulld stay on new baseband? then it would be easier for me to flash roms for new bb right?
okay... i am gonna explain this and hope i am right..sry for big post
Our phone has many partitions like(system,data,boot,recovery,cache,etc)
The mbn files that you see in P500-v20G-baseband.7z are partition images(or pieces of it or bin file or something similar....am not sure)
Now to install a custom rom, you format system,data,cache(or boot too in some cases) and then flash the rom, which basically copies new files to these partitions.
SO,custom rom does not affect other partitions present on your phone.
However when you install stock through kdz, it basically wipes your whole phone and install each partition again(including the one containing baseband).So, after installing a kdz...you are stuck with that baseband no matter which rom you install through recovery unless you install a kdz again with diff baseband.
The lgmdp method only changes the partition containing baseband (amss.mbn). So,again custom roms have no effect on baseband.
Now, to answer your ques.

No, you dont need to reflash any other rom. You ARE on new baseband now and can flash any rom for new bb and it will work.

Sorry, I'm confused, you said you didn't make a wipe, but then you said you did. Please try to be clearer. Also, Ive never used either of those ROMs so it may be that their file systems are incompatible, see if the backup works on the Fusion ROM. If it does, then they probably are, if it doesn't then the backup may be corrupt.

If you don't have a ext Sd card don't try my suggestion! I would only ever advise a full wipe if you have a ext sd card just in case anything goes wrong plus like you said where would you put the rom. I would strongly suggest you getting a ext card no matter how small if you are flashing roms.

Should I make a backup of efs on 4.1.2 or should I upgrade to 4.3 and then make a backup of EFS?

Now you have confused me even more! I thought you said in your previous post that you had connection on 4.3 stock rom if so why are you on 4.1.2 ?. Stock rom 4.3 is efs v2 and stock rom 4.1.2 is efs v1 if you have no connection on 4.3 then this is your problem you still have efs v1 which will not work on 4.3 or any of the newer roms please confirm that you have a signal on 4.3 stock rom.

Ok that's good it means you are on v2 efs which is good..I just needed to confirm that you had v2 efs I thought you might have been on 4.1.2 because of no signal.
I must admit this is a strange one because the asop roms,omni roms etc don't change your baseband which can effect your signal.There is one more option you could try use this patched modem >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...ck-firmware-i9300xxemg4-t2377731/post43946365 << by JustArchi look at post 15.

Also your efs make sure you back it up preferably when you are on 4.3 stock rom.

[q] flashing 4.4 from 4.1 ?

Hi, there.
I would like to flash a Touchwiz Based 4.4.4 ROM for the International Version of Galaxy S3 (i9300). Currently it is running Android 4.1.2 stock rooted and TWRP installed.
So I wanted to ask aside from the regular flashing procedure if there is any other precaution to be taken.
I will definitely update to TWRP 2.8.6.1. Please let me know if any other file is to be flashed so as to avoid Bricking.
For Eg. Modems, Bootloaders or any other such files. Also feel free to suggest a 4.4 T/W Rom
Thank You.

Make a back up of your current rom,back up everything you need, wipe factory reset in recovery and install 4.4.4.
Make sure to read the instructions in the OP of the rom you want to install eg blekota note4

Thanks for replying sir. But are you 100% sure that I will not have to flash any modem before flashing Blekota. I've seen a lot of problems of people out here. Some losing EFS. Some losing IMEI. I do not doubt you at all but I would like to exercise precaution on my behalf.
Also My current Baseband Version as it appears in the Settings is DDELK1. So do I need to update it ? Also I won't have problems like Losing My IMEI or Simcard not being detected, Right ?
Thanks Again.
@x0nar: you're right. Flashing a custom-ROM with modem MG4 or newer will mess up your IMEI /net access. So go back to old firmware, fe ELLA, and update via OTA or KIES to JB 4.3. This changes your efs-data version 1 into version 2. Make sure, you have a modem N** afterwards. The you can root again and flash KK or LP-ROM.

Never Mind. Already ****ed it up. Flashed Blekota and initially I lost my IMEI. Flashed MJ3 Modem recovered it but no network. Says only Emergency calls Available.
Also flashed MG2 still no progress yet. And you know what the biggest problem is ? The device does not even belong to me. My friend requested me to update it and I messed it up. Any recourse ? The area of my residence is India. Could you please tell me which modem to flash ?.
Thanks
@x0nar: sad. Maybe your efs-data are currupt now. My only suggestion is to flash ELLA-firmware, hoping that OTA-update or KIES rewrite them.
The only right thing in the naive advice of Siberian Tiger is to make a backup. Did you? Then restore 1st.

@x0nar: sad. Maybe your efs-data are currupt now. My only suggestion is to flash ELLA-firmware, hoping that OTA-update or KIES rewrite them.

Yeah. I did an EFS Backup. Even after restoring, the IMEI still was reflecting "Unknown".
But Never Mind, fortunately it gained a revival after Flashing the MJ3 Radio. However it would not connect to Mobile Network. So I flashed several other Radios and it's all set now and everything works just fine. Thanks for your help
@x0nar: then you belong to the lucky few, fine. But I meant a full backup of /boot, /system, /data. Do this before you experiment with KK.
