Hello, i have installed Aurora ICS (from Dzo) and i saw new post about restoring IMEI with different method. But because i restored IMEI with 5iromtoolbox i tried to go back to official rom (B526 Gingerbread). Update has failed so i tried to copy files from image folder from version 2.2. After that i tried other official rom; but with everything i try i can't update/downgrade my phone. My phone is completely messed up. It wont start up, i can't get into bootloader on my pc because i can't see the device. I really need help. Thank you!

Hello
I'm having troubles with my new LG Optmus L5 e610. It comes oot with 4.1.2 and the LG mod v20b.
I rooted it with the v20d_root.kdz and now i've installed an unlocked bootloader, CWR, CM10 and Gapps. I have now a problem: the IMEI inside the information menù is empty and every SIM card is not recognized.
What should I do? I tryed going back to the stock the reflashig all, but nothing. By the way the stock ROM works fine.
Investigating around i discovered the same problem over many Samsung devices, with following solutions talking about this EFS folder that needs to be backed up. Googling around i found that LG don't need to back up this folder. Am i wrong?
EDIT:
Googling around i discovered that flashing a rom fro the v20_root may cause this issue, so it is advised to downgrade to the v10. But how i do it without making the kdz flasher give me errors? And which one of the v10 kdz i have to flash?
Hello,
You must install v10 baseband.I'n on mobile now and u can't help you but serch on google for it.
Sent from my P700 with GSIV rom and some tweaks in it
Preface: I am a noob and/or idiot. I've never modded a phone before now.
So I've been trying on my own for about 12 hours now and I'm tired.
I've been trying to use SDMerge400 with CM9: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2215406
I've tried Exodus v2.1: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2506589
I've successfully rooted the device, installed CWM, and installed the roms. Everything went smoothly except that the phone doesn't recognize the SIM. Baseband is unknown and IMEI is null.
I've reverted the phone back to stock firmware (v12a: http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=11 , the only Canadian one) and rooted it. Everything works, including the SIM, modem, etc.
I'm assuming (note: I know nothing) that there are drivers in the stock firmware that aren't in the rom. Can I get those drivers and edit the rom's .zip? Which files do I need? Or is it something else that simply isn't working?
What I really want is SDMerge400. This phone's memory is too small. I don't need CM9 specifically, but it would be nice to have the upgrade.
Hey guys. I know for sure there is another thread about a similar problem but the biggest problem I'm having is figuring out what to do next, or better yet, what did I even mess up?
I made a thread a couple days ago here asking about the LTE option on my phone and how there was none. It's an Intl' phone and therefore I guess doesn't work on Canadian LTE networks.
Before we start, I'm using TWRP 2.7.0.0 . My phone is the UAE version of the D802, which is the D80220C. My current custom rom is Liquidsmooth MS3.2 .
So I found a list of modems and flashed the one for Bell. It was for the D803, but the thread I was looking at said it was cross-compatible so I assumed that meant it's okay for me to flash it on my phone.
Even so, I backed up my EFS partitions just to be 100% sure. I even used the .zip file that automatically backs up the current modem files. So I thought there was definitely a way out if it didn't work.
I will give you the full story of what was done and maybe I can get some guidance on maybe something I did wrong.
1) I flashed the D803 Bell modem.
2) Reboot to system, LS3.2 hangs on start up. Tried a hard restart to see if it wasn't a fluke. Nothing. Still hanging.
3) Figured the EFS files were toast, so I ran the restore .zip for my EFS. Reboot, and still hanging.
4) Said WTF? and restored my first stable rooted stock rom. It booted into the rom fine, but when it got to the lock screen I saw the "Service Disabled" and the phone quickly crashed.
5) Didn't even attempt to restart on that rom. So I tried a couple terminal commands to copy the modems1.img and modemst2.img files to corresponding partitions. Copied both just fine, but no change. Still screwing up.
So, this is where I am so far. I am in the process of downloading the D80220C UAE .kdz file so I can try to flash that one first. If that doesn't work, I'm really at a loss.
When I read into this some more, all I see is people who have totally wiped their EFS files and having to spend a whole bunch of time using a bunch of different programs to get in an recover the IMEI number.
What do you guys think?
Some good news right off the bat. I found a KK baseband for D802 and flashed it. So now I was able to restore my LS3.2 rom and boot into it fine. I see my IMEI and MAC address and can get WiFi at last!
Mods, you can delete this thread if you wish.
Hello so I flashed a rom and it decided to put me in a bootloop after trying everything couldnt fix it and i really didnt want to lose a chance of getting my pictures back etc so i made a backup even though i had a bootloop so i then restored and flashed rom again and was fresh again, Then tried restoring to the backup and went to a bootloop again which i expected is there any way to get my files back really need the pictures sentimental value..
Im sorry if whatever i said or did is not smart I checked everywhere but couldnt find a direct solution so wanted to try here. Thanks in advance!
if you changed bootloader & Modem then try stock bootloader & Modem.
Hi all, as the title says, my efs folder is inaccessible. Firstly let me explain. I bought a phone, it had the Paul pizz rom in it and I didn't like it. So I flashed the resurrection remix rom. It didn't have all the bells n whistles I wanted, so I tried the official res remix rom. Somehow I ended up with an efs problem. I ended up with an efs invalid argument error and from what I read, I did the whole adb efs fix. The error was gone. I ended up flashing a repair firmware back to bog5 and started from scratch. I worked my way back up to installing the modest rom and it works 99% flawlessly and I am happy enough to keep it. Here is the catch, I used kingo root and have ended up with a bad keyboard lag that's driving me nuts. It is unknown to me if the kingoroot caused the efs corruption or if it was just a bad flash going from one rom to another. I have tried several root browsers, made sure they all had root privileges, and no matter what, I can NOT get access to what's hidden in my efs folder. They always say it's empty. Now, here is the kicker, I got another note 4 for my son. Downgraded from 6.01 to 5.01 bog5, then up to 5.11 and flashed the modest rom on his. Instantly his phone has access to the efs folder. My note 4 works, can make calls, text etc. Imei is shown in settings, all info shows in settings as normal except one thing, on my phone it says configuration version not available whereas on my sons phone it gives a configuration version. I just can't figure out how to gain access to the efs folder to try to fix this extremely annoying lag. I DID make a complete backup of my system from when it had the Paul pizz rom, so the efs partitions should be intact there but I don't know if that would help or even where to start. Can someone please help?
Well, I just fixed my phone and thought I would share what happened. It seems that the guy that loaded the paulpizz rom on the phone before I bought it used a different version of twrp. He used a version for n910f, whereas when I began my rom search, I used one for a n910v because thats what the phone is. I was having a hard time with it so I reverted to stock, rooted, installed verizon twrp, and bam! No efs access. The difference in recovery programs is what screwed me up in the first place. I figured it out when I tried to restore his rom backup I made. The efs files were not working when it restored. I remembered what version of rom it was, and tried a twrp for 910f, and voila! So, now I have all functions working as blazing speeds, can actually access the efs folder, and no more damned lag! Big thumbs up button to me!
