Greetings smart people,
Baseband version unknown
Imei unknown
What i have done so far:
1. Factory reset(not helping)
2. Have flashed stock rom 6.0 and 7.0 many many times :laugh: (needrom)(not helping)
3. Have gained root access and deleted NVdata folder(not helping)
4. Have formatted NVRAM manually through SPflashtool.(not helping) Waited, cleared cache, dalvik cache waited....nothing
Now this is where this is getting strange.
1. Trying to connect with SPtool to try and fix the nvram(everything connects) when i choose the exact same BPLGU file it says: nvram database file is inconsistent with target load
2. Pulled the exact same BPLGU file that I have in the phone with adb, but it is still inconsistent.
3. Have tried many many database files it is still inconsistent.
So guys what am i missing here? By the way, it did start strange. Phone was charging overnight, when i took it off, i did not have cellular network, restarted phone and.... Baseband version unknown, Imei unknown.
I trust you still have your retail box with IMEI on it. Use MAUI Meta tool to reflash the NVRAM (I was in a similar situation, "INVALID IMEI"). I'm a bit unsure about the baseband and how you managed to get rid of it, but my X1 uses "MOLY.LR9.W1444.MD.LWTG.MP.V110.5.P15". If you have any idea on how I can get you the baseband flashable, let me know, I got MagiskSU and willing to help out.

Yes I have the box with both imei`s. Cannot get it fixed with MAUI meta. Maybe you can get me the whole backup of your phone?
If you have any specific partitions, tell me. I'm going to get it at evening. Glad you still have your passion about the phone! Also willing to enter META mode to dump info.

Got no passion.... not really. It`s just sitting on a shelf. Gave up. Waiting for your backup and going to try and fix it again.

Sorry for the wait! I was staging your exact situation, so I can get a clear solution path;
I managed to brick my baseband as well, META tool gave me modem exceptions. However, after my research, I found out that if you format all + download your ROM in SP Flash Tool, you can use the META tool again, and baseband becomes recognized again! Make sure you got all the VCOM drivers and such. Hope what I just did can help you bring new life to your phone and dust it off the shelf! Keep in mind, that this *relocks the bootloader*, but it's worth the sacrifice as you can just open the BL again.
Cheers
If this helped me, make sure to thank my post.

Hi, I think I am in deep trouble now. My p780 8gb is completely dead after trying to flash a TWRP recovery in to it using a flash tool. Not sure what went wrong I fiddled with some settings in flash tool like 'firmware upgrade' and 'download' and at last saw a Dram failed message. I was using the latest s226 Kitkat ROW. Now all I can see is a red led charging light glowing while connecting it to a computer. The device is not getting recognized by VCOM drivers so no use with flash tool any more. Tried to reboot in to recovery and meta mode but the phone simply does not turn on. Anyone knows how to unbrick this, kindly help.

Hi. Please tell me if your phone is made in 2014. From what i see all phones made in 2014 must be flashed with another preloader. The simptoms you are described here seems that way. Waiting fro reply...

Hi stympy,
Yes it is a 2014 January version. But to be honest I was using a ROM with 2013 version preloader but never faced any problem, Today purposefully changed it to the new 121kb 2014 preloader and everything was fine till I used the v5 flashtool to flash the twrp and I think I selected the upgrade option in it and flashed the twrp> found the ROM and preloaders from needrom.com from the uploader xxxsadistxxx .It worked flawlessly and then after first booting I configured the wi-fi settings again turned it off and tried to install the custom recovery. Now completely helpless because the phone is not getting detected by VCOM drivers.

Look what you have to do!
Hi. The think was someting like this:
0. Unzip/Unrar those 2 archives.
1. First i install the .exe file from archive LenovoUsbDriver_autorun_1.0.10.zip. Reboot PC.
2. Plug the phone to your PC and new hardware wizard has appeared. Install the drivers by pressing automaticaly search the drivers.
3. Now power off the phone, and open the Device Manager, in Ports section.
4. With the Device Manager open, plug the phone this time powered off.
5. At this time in Device Manager/ Ports section, appeared for a second or two not in USB area something with.. MTK65...
6. Double Click fast on it because that will desapear very fast . If you missed the click for the first time unplug and replug the phone after about 5 seconds.
7. After you clicked on it all you have to do is update driver from MTK_USB__Driver_GOOOOODDD.rar archive, and voila you have drivers installed and now all you have to do is to flash you ROM.
Hope this will help you.
Tell me iff something goes wrong.
Good luck.

1) Hi, thanks for the troubleshooting steps but for the 3rd and 4th step, the phone is always in a switched off mode only. It simply doesn't get turn on in any mode.
2) I am using Windows 8.1 OS and Lenovo Usb Driver1.0.10 and VCOM drivers are already installed in it after turning off the digital signature check in win 8x OS and now nothing is happening after clicking on install option of LenovoUsbDriver_autorun_1.0.10.exe Is it a problem or in other OS also it wont prompt to click next or something like in a regular driver installation.
3) Phone is not getting detected in device manager after connecting it, so cant update drivers
Please suggest me what to do next.

Hi thanks a lot stympy. I am glad that you were spending the time and effort to help me. I saw that red button trouble shooting post in your TWRP thread and luckily for me after clicking on different options in device manager while setting a complete format in sp flashtool the device suddenly got detected and format was done. After the format the device has lost its imei number, BT code and Wlan codes. That was going to be a hectic job to reinstall imei with imei repairing tools and usage of Hexa editor for BT and wi-fi codes just because some drivers were not getting installed properly.. But to my sheer luck I had a "Data' back up in TWRP with my previous version prerooted rom . I was not that confident to get a restore of imei , BT and wlan codes because it is just a 'data' back up not full ROM. I ticked the md5 checksum and voila after installing the back up 'Data' everything , absolutely every single code in my p780 got reinstalled automatically .LONG LIVE TWRP DEVELOPERS......... May be even after formatting the complete flash drive of the phone it still keeps the imei and other codes in factory mode. I am not sure. Now phone is in perfect condition and I am ready for another go. Stympy please create a 2.7.1 twrp for 2014 preloader p780 8gb. thanks again for all your help

Hey Stympy, you seem to know quite a lot about this! I have the same problem with my p780 4GB. After flashing everything seemed ok, as I got a green circle in SPFlash tools. However now I am not able to boot anymore. When connecting my phone to my computer the red light goes on and Device Manager shows a new MTK USB Port. When pushing the red button it immediately disappears. Does not matter if I push it for 20 seconds, as soon as I let go its bak in device manager.
When trying to reflash using SPFlash, it seems to recognize my phone, but when trying to format or Upgrade or Download, the red bar only loads up to 141776 Bytes and stops. Sometimes I have to push the red button for the phone to get recognized.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
ps: CMIIT ID on the battery says 2013xxxxxxx so I guess its a 2013 model?

Hi. Can you tell me what firmware did you have ?
From what you described your phone seems to be from 2014. This are the simptoms when the preloader is messed up.
Look what you should try:
Download from here the preloader: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-p780/help/lenovo-p780-chineese-speed-version-t2874161
Replace your Curent ROM preloader with the one you downloaded.
Drivers from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/len...ial-kitkat-t2835605/post55587780#post55587780
Try this one and tell me if somethin goes wrong.

Fool me. I've tried to run CN on russian LiFE ROW with TWRP. You can laugh very loud.
1. unbricked with P780_S136_140306_Lang
cleared IMEI
2. IMEI recovered with Droid Tools
after reboting no gsm signal
3. NVRAM recovered from backup
No success.
SIM cards works fine on other mobile, 911 cal also work on this phone
now running on:
ROM: P780_S226_Life_XVIBE_by_Xakep
Baseband: P780.V23
Last idea is clone p780 (colleague has one) with IMEI change, mac address and sn. Now with which tool it'll be easier?
success

Hi community,
I really thought it is not this hard to flash a phone, but I got into for me unsolvable problems. I tried to flash my phone and I used a step by step tutorial how do to this. With the flash tool, also the green circle appeared at the end, but since then I cannot use my phone.
Afterwards I really tried every driver, every ROM and different flash tools I could find to reflash my phone again, but without success.
Image: http ://fs1.directupload.net /images/150611/lt6jbqqh.png
I get the 4032 error message, and it means that I am using the wrong driver. But I installed different drivers so many times, and its still without sucess. What can I do?
Please help! I would really appreciate it.

Maybe you flashed the wrong preloader!
What is written on your phone box!
Your phone is made after 03.2014 ?

Hello guys, i have this really troublesome phone here, that by all means refuses to work. A friend of mine brought this to me and asked me to fix it, apparently the previous owner tried to flash the phone and managed to pretty much delete everything, even the EFS folder.
I managed to fix the bootproblems, install CWM and CM 12.So far the phone is up and running, but now i face the issue with the Imei. I have the original IMEI on the back, but i have no clue how to actually edit it. It's currently stuck on the genereic IMEI which is 0049xxxxxx.
Honestly i tried nearly everything.
Installed stock firmware with odin, didn't work
I tried to edit files, didn't work.
Installed xposed to get a new IMEI, it shows the right IMEI but still doesn't work.
Tried to access CDS information in Engineer mode,doesn't work, since when i type * # * # 3646633 # * # * ,it simpy does nothing
When i try to use the rndis +dm + Modem mode,my PC can't recognize the phone
When i try to use the default Recovery, it doesn't show me the option to enable CP logging, so i won't be able to use dm at all
The phone is a I9300 international, and i would love to throw it out my window atm. I hope there is a genious here that can help.

The dialler codes only work on stock ROMs. Find and flash one if you want to be able to use the dialler codes. THe rndis+dm+modem option i believe is only for Snapdragon-powered devices, or in the case of the i9305, a Qualcomm-powered modem. The only real choice here is Z3X BOX, but if you let me search around, i might be able to find something. And one more thing, the generic IMEI is no problem in itself. One can use a phone in a network with the generic IMEI. I have a friend that bought an LG G3 that is a pre-production unit, not development, not review, but pre-production. Even with the LG sticker in Korean under the battery that certifies it to be a pre-production unit, not for sale. The IMEI is genuine and he uses it to this day.

Sadly it can't even be done with z3x box, since the phone refuses to go DM mode.
@alexander:
The codes also work on other roms like CM, i can confirm that. Sadly everything that has something to do with enabling DM mode doesn't work. See if you can find something. Idk if anyone here actually is able to modify the nv_data.bin file with the proper IMEI, but if someone could, that would be helpful.

Bro I think that you have confused with z3x box because first you have flash stock rom then root your phone then connect it directly don't try to turn it on "download mode" than simply repair your imei in repair section on right side of SAMSUNG TOOL 18.9
And then Set your imei which is written on you phones back , when you remove battery or it is written on your phone box okay :fingers-crossed:
And if you on 4.3 then after setting imei you have to repair your network otherwise you will face "Not registered on network"
Best of luck
And main thing is that z3x don't want Download mode okay so remove this problem from your mind

DM is not downloadmode, it's diagnostic mode, which my perticular S3 apparently doesn't support for some reason. If your phone can't go into DM mode, even the z3x box won't be able to help at all.
The mmi codes dont work outside of stock roms. I think kies can fix the imei issue. There is also a thread on that issue.

Thanks for the googledrive link, I'm currently downloading the files and going to try. How exacly does kies fix the IMEI issue?
Hello Everyone,
I have a questions and hopefully some one can help me out here. My son has bricked my phone and I believe it is a soft brick... could be wrong. However, I need to find away too unbrick it.
I can get into hard reset with out issues. however with everything I do, I can't get into recovery what's so ever. The phone just hangs at the loading screen. I have talked to my son in order to find out what he did and this is exactly what he told me
He installed king root and attempted to replace-kinguser-with-supersu. However when he installed the application, it asked to reboot the phone. Well he rebooted the phone and now it is stuck at the loading screen and wont go any further than that. He also told me that he did not remove kingroot prior too the reboot. Please help! as I need my phone for work.
I am out of options on what too do. I would post the guide he used but I am limited due too the spamming regulations of the board.
Any one have an idea on how to unsoft brick this phone? I am all out of options as the only two options I have are hard boot and download mode.

According to the good people here on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/general/qa-metro-pcs-lg-k7-lgms330-t3331678 there is only a paid solution at the moment.
http://lg-firmware-rom.com/download...330-dll-for-lg-up-unbrick-lg-k330-with-lg-up/
if it is a lg k7 k330 (tmo) i followed this guide http://www.repairshopusa.com/phone/lg-k7-k330-unbrick-method/
Thank you for the information. However the lgup application does not recognize my phone. Indicates that the model is "Unknown"
Guess i am out of luck lol
Not uncommon. Sometimes you need to unplug and replug the device back in or close and reopen the program.
Thank you for the information. Does the USB debugging option need to be enabled because if it does, I don't think it is as the my computer does not recognize my device at all. Under computer, it shows as k7. However when I got into the device manager it indicated "LGE Android MTP device".
No. USB Debugging only works while booted into the system or recovery. You must be in Download Mode for the LG Up tool.
At this time, I am really frustrated as nothing is currently working at this time. Possibly because the phone just went under a hard reset. I have changed the port too 41 and ran the flash tool and that was not able too pick up my phone either. Also, I can't seem to get the lgup to work correctly as it's still not working correctly.
I have uninstalled the applications belonging too lg, rebooted and then reinstalled them and I still get the same thing. I have attached screen shots below. lgup does indicate the firmware I need, however I can't get too it lol
Message me I can fix your phone

If I remember right, you have to make it search for *.kdz otherwise it's looking for .tot files, which is why it's probably not seeing the firmware you need.

Yes you are correct. However the file that I have downloaded from the link below doesn't actually provide you with a kdz file. The file provided you the files that have been extracted from the kdz file, which are the (LGK330.dz) file
Ah, weird. Never worked on an LG that didn't use .tot, .kdz, or .bin files. I guess just search for *.dz and it should load according to the link the other guy put up.

How's it going man, I need your help I have a ms330 stuck in 9008 mode with an unlocked bootloader. Everything I've tried has failed and I'm stuck. I only owned this phone for 6hrs before I screwed it up any help will be appreciated!!
Man... I have tried so many different IMEI Repair tools, Phones rooted (Magisk) and I have TWRP.. I backed up QCN with my null IMEI but cannot find the Hex or the "088A" Starting numbers for it to change it back to my original IMEI. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know. I will attach some pics and programs/tools I been using.. I was able to finally get a green light and pass on this one tool after I Extracted the files into platform tools and took ownership of the (tool).exe, however, after rebooting my phone, *#06# still reads "NULL"

yeah grab these files
on your A0.5 firmware an reflash them in fastboot an your imei might be fixed AS THIS METHOD WORKED FOR ME!!
Why are u flashing over persist? Don't do that unless it's your original, some of the partitions on your device are device specific as they contain your IMEI and serial , board number etc... And if they don't match then your radios and other things probably won't work again without reflashing your originals. Anyone feel free to correct me if I lack any info

IMEI is stored on efs and persist partitions..... Integrity checks may even cause ur device to fail to boot, just a warning.....
Im pretty sure the whole phone is f*cked.. I flashed it to death.. lol. wont even turn on. screen stays black. Live and let learn I guess.

phone phone shouldn't be dead by flashing. try "holding down both vol buttons an power button" for 1 min til phone vibrates
I've tried it. Won't even vibrate or light up to show its charging.
