Hey guys, I really screwed up my phone because I did not realize the international version I bought is something different and happily flashed kenzo roms and firmwares.
Now I am smarter, but the damage is done. I urgently need a EFS backup to get my phone signal running again. I've spent hours searching for a link, but there does not seem to be anything there yet.
Could someone with a proper EFS dump (or the tools to create one) please help me out? I would really appreciate your help! :fingers-crossed:

Thank you. I did not have any luck coming up with a KATE .qcn either, so I cannot really try that

Few months ago I've also had the same problem and for 2days I've been struggling to fix it. Normal qcn files didn't work but this one finally fixed my phone https://app.box.com/s/6mwo0n8qhi1nmmnpz0hrbmmqy0jyszr4

Hi,
Guys.. I have made some full backups all partitions of some MIUI version using TWRP.
Then I checked every EFS md5 from one to others.
My questions are:
1. Why EFS md5sum from MIUI7 is different from MIUI8 version? Even if same version, some times they are different.
2. If I do full restore using these backup, is there any possibility will make my device lose its IMEI?
Regret.
hi @ all
did anyone get the firmware files for kate-device?
me and some other really need those to get our device alive again.
Here ist the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/how-to/flash-recover-efs-snapdragon-t3406789/
We would really appreciate you help!
thanks in advance!
I have a backup. I made it from my phone, better safe than sorry. But I think is dangerous to share the file. Efs contans imei

Hey guys ive been looking around for a Noob guide so I can install my very first ROM but cant really find any.... The thing is I basically get how to install a rom/custom rom but what I dont know is if something goes wrong how to restore my phone to the current state. I have a Rooted, Stock Gingerbread 2.3.4, S5830L phone. So my questions are...
Is nandroid what I need to backup my phone and if something goes wrong, restore that backup? Or should I get one from "samfirmware" (the problem is I cant find an exact match for my phone)???
Do I need a special version of nandroid and CWM for my S5830L? What are the latest versions? Or what do you guys have installed in your device?
What should I install first nandroid or CWM?
And finaly does it even matter that my phone version is "L" (S5830L)? Should I not worry about that and just follow any rom guide as if it was a universal guide?
Thanks alot guys for any help, Im very new to this but if someone can push me or help me towards the right direction im sure I will learn fast.
Well dude first of all, nandroid isn't any software. It's a part of CWM that make backup of AND memory of your device. Second thing, it matters alot that you have L version of phone. Many ROMs and guides are only for standard S5830 version, so keep an eye on it. Third, stock backups can't be restored on custom ROMs unless you convert partition to rfs again by "ext4 manager".
Last, look for similar thread like yours in general forum and you will find your answer. I and many other friends have posted their flashing methods there.

Can someone explain to me did he bricked device and can is there a way to solve this problem?
I hope you will help me, thanks in advance!!!
Hi there and welcome to the forum.
Please create a more informative title next time, so people know what it is that you need help with.
I am in the same boat as you only with my GS3 LTE version. If you still have the box to get the IMEI from or look under the battery you might be able to restore your imei using an nv writer http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1804117
Try to do a full wipe then reflash the stock rom with odin.
Good luck!
No sim, imei

hi can someone close this thread issue has been sorted flashed ee stock rom and got imei back lol
thanks though
wait a minute thats not a good sign, So your saying that you lost your Imei and that QCN backup did not work?
The only thing that worked was flashing a stock rom back... this is not in the guide lol HMMmmmmm
I am just thinking why that QPST tool would not work when it should of or shouldnt it, did you use it correctly??? Can you try do the same thing as you did before and see if it you are able to restore it over your imei now? If it works now then maybe it wont work if theres no IMEI when thats the time we really need it to work.....Maybe Lyriquidperfection can comment?
ChwadKs can you try that QPST tool again and do EXACTLY what you did when you lost your imei. If it doesnt work AGAIN then thats a good sign for us as then it must be something wrong on your end or Hopefully you did it wrong which is why it didnt work. But if you do the exact same thing again but this time it works, then it may be a bad sign for us

Messing up partitions can cause adverse effects like phone not being detected in QPST. Don't worry backups do work.

Don't get too excited about ROMS. It's not just partition locations to think about but the hardware differences such as the extra ram and the Qualcomm modem.

Try looking at the RIL. I9300 uses the Samsung RIL but the I9305 uses the Qualcomm RIL. So you will need to alter the Rom to reflect this and you will get baseband back!

hey guys,
sorry to hijack the thread. I have a i9300 with the exynos processor so all the qualcomm leg works to restore the imei are a no go for me.
Is there a way I could fix it? (imei unknown)
I did the same. Thinking I was being smart and not looking into it properly flashed with i9300 and not i9305 and now I have no IMEI. Searched everywhere and cant find a solution. If any one can help out with a solution, I would greatly appreciate it.
I have re-flashed several times, back to original and back to root and still null IMEI.

Restore your backed up EFS folder do not keep re flashing that cannot bring back IMEI .

hi, i hope this information help. There are "Y330-U11", "Y330-C00" ROMs/Firmware etc..
Check this link: Click Here & find "y330" in page without quotes(" ").
another link here for "y330-U05" but they ask to buy subscription to download file and I'm not sure either they are real or not. Sharing just for information, here's the link: Click Here
About flashing ROM of older version on latest version, I'm not sure about that. maybe there are some ways to downgrade device but i think it's possible to upgrade without any problem. but, make sure that you know what you are going to do with your device and get much information you can before making any process.
As you said about not finding Official/Stock ROMs for this specific model. I'll suggest you to first make Backup of your ROM. there are Thread/Post to make backup with 'Sp Flash tools/MTKdroidtools' and also make backup with Custom recoveries like CWM/TWRP.
I believe you can find Information on making ROM backup and how to make backup with CWM in this forum.
just don't do anything in rush. Remember to make backup.

I don't know whether they are same or not. I hope some one reply to that, but in case u did read my reply carefully. I did mentioned about downgrading and upgrading and about precautions. I'm new to these stuff. Again I'm not sure about network unlock but "maybe" it happen when whole rom/firmware is replaced. incase u know some free working method to unlock it, then what to worry. Better wait for others reply for ur questions. Anyway, I just try to help with limited information, so you could have some idea.
files are real
the link to the files are you just use paypal to pay in gonna test the files

Given that you are recognized contributor, I am surprised that you did not look into general section. We have threads for different things. Anyway I will try to answer you questions
1. You need to download full zip of 2.2.0 and flash that. You can restore to stock. Or simply backup your current oos using twrp, restore only system and boot, you will have stock.
2. Yes, here is the link
3. cm12.1 by master awesome is pretty stable.
4. Rooting/flashing does not void warranty for oneplus, however if you damage anything, I am not sure if it will be covered.
P.S. always have backup of stock and efs. Do not miss this step.
