So I just got the phone today and decided to upgrade to ics, that was a big mistake. The phone won't turn on . When I plug it into the computer it has the green charging led but when I plug it into the charger nothing just a dark green led that will blink every 10 seconds or so. don't care if I have to downgrade I just want it to work. Also when it's not plugged in it does the same dark green blink and when I try turning it on nothing no vibration or anything.
Use flashtool to unbrick your device.

Weird, maybe you flashed it wrong. Anyways, go back to GB and then flash again to ICS if you'd like to, you shouldn't get any troubles downgrading.

As for my knowledge this is not possible! but next time use the "MyPhoneExplorer" it keeps contacts in PC so whenever u flash firmware, install its client on phone and run this software on PC and then it will put all the contacts that u had on ur phone before flash. last night i had done rooting on my phone by following steps hope it will also help u for flashing a firmware via flashtool.

I don't think you'll void your contract because you are re flashing the service providers update .
Your problem may be due to incomplete flashing .
Press thanks if I helped you!

Which provider do you have? You are scared if you flash an international firmware instead of the one from your provider, you can't use sim card or what's the problem about that?

You mean your provider, right? Not your contacts like everyone else are saying. Well, nothing will happen, it's just an international firmware, you won't lose the contract... Don't worry
Don't worry bro, It has nothing to do with your Provider. Go ahead.

2.He doesn't want to downgrade (gb) or reflash (ics) using international ftf firmware (flashtool method) .
3. He always used official update software and he is afraid of voiding the CONTRACT with his service provider if he uses flashtool method.
4. Please read the op clearly he doesn't mean CONTACTS he means the CONTRACT with his service provider.
5. To the op,
Please post your problem step by step clearly and highlight the important words by using upper case letters or different color.

One won't lose the warranty if he/she fails in an official upgrade, send it to the dealer for repair before trying oneself with Flashtool, which may alter the build.prop, and else. Right?
By the way, my Xperia Mini Pro fails to change the input method by long pressing the text input area with.431 ics ROM, any hints? Thanks.

If you have never rooted and bootloader is locked (and I think it is), please send it to service or give it to the shop where you've bought it. This is better, and because it was an official update, you should be able to claim your warranty.
If you try to do it yourself with flashtool, you will modify your phone and if they find out, your warranty is lost. So please don't flash it, give it to service
Hello, so I ran out of battery on my way home, when I got home I plugged the phone and went to sleep. Today when I woke up, I turned on the device, but it got stuck @ galaxy s3 boot animation, the animation you get before your ROM's boot animation kicks in, so I went to recovery and tried to recover one of my recoveries. it didn't help. I did a factory reset, it still was the same, stuck on galaxys3 boot animation. So I decided to flash stock samsung rom using ODIN. But now I'm stuck at the samsungs stock ROM boot animation, I tried factory reset couple of times but it didn't help.
Any idea what might be the issue, I have flashed this rom
Edit: Also the line "E: failed to mount /efs" is something to worry about when you boot into recovery?
So flashing via Odin works w/o errors?

Yeah, when i flashed using odin, I didn't encounter any error, more one thing to mention, when I boot to recover I get

Is that something to have concern about?
oh yes. do you have an efs backup? that's the first thing you should do before flashing anything. if yes, restore it. if not, send it to service

You are kidding me, so basically if I didn't root my device, vendor/samsung wouldn't had a choice but to replace my device, but because of I did root my device, vendor/samsung will refuse to replace my device, am I correct?

you are correct, in the EU you still can get lucky due to some regulations and you have to show that the root did not cause the problem, outside the EU I am not sure. The restriction of the internals of every device is not for nothing in place don't you think so? Otherwise manufacturers would get hundreds of complains because someone messed up something...

If you do not have an EFS backup I guess it will be difficult to restore. Only solution then will be to send it in for service if I am not wrong.

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,

Hello all, I was asking if you can help me with an issue here.
While trying to root my Nord 2, I flashed the wrong boot.img version (A.10, while I was already update at the A.11), losing my WiFi and Bluetooth. So to recover them, I flashed the Full A.07 firmware and went back up to A.11 flashing the various OTAs. After flashing the A.07 firmware though, I've lost IMEI and Cellular functionality, and was never able to recover them.
I've done a backup of my nvram, nvdata, and nvcfg partitions before flashing, but restoring them didn't solve the issue.
I've use this guide for root: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/root-tool-oneplus-nord-2-oxygen-11-3-dn2103_11_a-xx-eea.4332959/
And this guide to flash A.07 and OTAs: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/oneplus-nord-2-oxygen-11-3-dn2103-eea-rom.4331695/
Does someone have any hints? Or should I send it back to Oneplus?

Those images are the first I've tried. I've then tried with the stock boot image linked in @pankspoo post, but with still no result. My guess is that flashing V.07 on top of V.11 rewrited some others partitions that should have not be touched
Well i am not happy to tell you, but if its true that partitions containing IMEI and WiFi connections got overwritten with nonsense information then the only thing that could save your phone is full nandroid backup which you do not have. And unfortunetly dont expect anyone else to provide it as that would mean that those 2 phones would have the same IMEI and MAC address.
I would suggest that you flash stock image, lock your bootloader and send it for RMA saying that you dont know what happened. You will have like 50/50 chance that they will just replace your motherboard without much of an investigation.

Well my guess is that if they take a look at it and the bootloader will be unlocked they will send it back to you rejacted. Atleast that was my expirience once with my old Xiaomi phone. So probably try flashing original firmware using some kind of recovery utility such as Sp flash to help get rid of this message?

Unfortunately this is a very problematic device, if you didn't make a backup before... the ofp file doesn't contain one, so you need that someone else take a backup of persist partition from a good/working phone and upload the file for you, then you can flash it back using fastboot.

No, it must be from the same model, it is a very sensitive partition, used from other different device/model could brick your device.
I backed up one from my device while it was in bricked state, if this functionality weren't broken at this time then it would work for you, if you want to give it a try I'll upload it soon.

So I think, the best would be to purchase a new one as soon as possible , never mind, thats fine, I should have thought twice before I did something ... Its REALME RMX 2151 , but on the BACK of the phone its written model RMX 2155

You don't need to uy a new one. You just need to reflash the correct firmware, and then reflash the ROM you're trying to use after that.

No, it must be from the same model, it is a very sensitive partition, used from other different device/model could brick your device.

If the firmware is not cased sensitive, then it shouldn't.
But to be completely sure backup first your persist partition, also you can back up the others aswell
Reboot to your custom recovery and type the next one by one:
adb shell
dd if=/dev/block//by-name/persist of=/sdcard/persist.img
After that, you'll have your persist image in the main directory of your sdcard (internal memory)
After that you can copy/transfer it directly to your PC (don't forget to keep it in a safe place, not in your device)
Or you can pull it with:
Exit first from the shell (just one time, in case you are not rooted) with:
exit
adb pull /sdcard/persist.img
This will copy (really pull/move) the file to the same directory where you ran the command.
You can flash it using fastboot.

You just need to flash a.87 back onto your device. Did you need to follow an elaborate guide to unlock your phone's bootloader, or did you just submit an application via the DeepTest APK? I need to know this in order to link you the correct files to flash.
