Hello,
i googled and searched for hours but can't find a solution for my problem. It looks like i lost my whole EFS Folder when i wanted to flash Galnet MIUI and after that CM7.1 because it failed.
So:
- CAN'T Flash ANY CWM zip (Status 7 error)
- CAN'T use mobile connection (No SMS,no Calls,no Internet etc.)
- NO Backup of the EFS folder ...
- Able to flash any ODIN/Heimdall ROM
- Up and Downgraded 100 times from FROYO to Gingerbread and so but still no EFS rapair :/
HELP,please ...
UPDATE: If anyone is wondering what i have done - i sent it to Samsung and they repaired it for free and even 4 months later it works like a charm (with ICS )
Flash any ROM using repartition. If that doesn't help, flash any modem / kernel after flashing ROM.
Already done that,no change...

miui creates a backup by itself in sdcard named backup

Check your internal SD card, it should be there.

if you don`t have a backup of your efs folder... your imei is lost forever.... you`ll have a service imei 0040etc .Efs folder will be automatically rebuilt but this will not get your imei back... i sent my phone to a Vodafone service for another problem and didn't canceled my warranty so its no problem
Nothing what you posted works. salesale's link was good,but i dont have a backup on my sdcard so its useless ...
I was NOT able to flash MIUI/CyanogenMod so i even dont have this backup ... and all my sdcard backups are only folders like DCIM/Music/Videos but not the whole sdcard. Before i tried to flash MIUI i backuped my whole sdcard but theres no efs folder there with a backup :/
I think i cant send my phone to samsung. they will cancel my warranty because i cant call and say my IMEI / efs folder was deleted without any reason. they know i have flashed and have fu**** up my phone.
Any other suggestions? :/ can someone send me his efs folder? Maybe the phone restores the imei when i follow the tutorial from salesale's link
Flash the latest official firmware for your country and Just go to the service center and tell them that your phone doesn't work after update with KIES.
That's all! You don't know why this happened
Since there is no need to open the phone, your IMEI needs only to be rewritten. If the service center's staff is OK, they will easily recreate your IMEI without much efforts.

Check user nokia8260's method in the link from salesale.
He does some edit on /efs/imei/mps_code.dat to match CSC.
Not sure if you need to flash a stock ROM + 512.pit + rooted kernel to establish a basic filesystem.
Warning: Have not tried this myself, please read and decide.

Just restore your phone to official firmware and call Samsung, tell them your phone doesn't recognize your similar card anymore and can't make or receive calls or text, thats what I did when i messed up my efs on my galaxy s 4g and i got it back within 2 weeks.

Isn't IMEI used for phone identification along with MEID? If thats blank, would it be an issue on Verizons side?

Hi
I don't know if you've fixed your issue with your g900v or not, but i have the same problem and the same phone and obviously the same symptoms ...
As far as I've tried, nothing worked not ODIN flashing ROMs, or QPST to write IMEI or EFS professtiona ADB .... etc.
What I've come to know is this :
1- keep the phone in a safe place till next months reveal a solution through developers here or elsewhere.
2- Flash the Original Samsung Verizon Rom ( Full Package with efs and bootloader mounts and all partitions " Clean Flash" ) which costs about 100$ .
3- Change the board for a (200$) new one .
So, I would try to pay the 100$ and flash the original ROM, and comeback to tell if it solved the Problem.
I wish if you share any different approach or feedback . I would love to hear it .
Bye
It could possibly be that your EFS folder is damaged. This is where your IMEI and Baseband info is stored. If that's the case for your device, these steps should work. I've done this on two phones (one being an S5) and it fixed this problem.
I'm assuming that you're rooted. If not then you'll need to root your device first. And you need to have debugging enabled. What this does is backups the files from the EFS folder, repairs the partition tables, then restores the files to the repaired folder.
1. Connect the phone to your computer. (Windows)
2. Download this: https://www.dropbox.com/s/v2h5dzisjd0rgj5/EFS_Professional_2.1.73_Release.zip?dl=0
3. Extract and run the program
4. Click EFS Professional... It will open a window showing that it found your phone
5. Click on the Backup Tab and make sure all of the partitions are checked, and your Device Filter is recognized
6. Hit the Backup button to backup the EFS folder
7. After that's done, click the Restore button and it will restore your files to the EFS folder.
I hope this helps you.
There used to be a tool for the Note 2 I believe, maybe S4, that would let you re-write your EFS if it accidentally got erased. Not a backup/restore deal, but a tool to key in your IMEI and it would write it to the phone. Maybe research that tool for a fix?

Was it a tool specifically for the Note 2, or multiple Samsung devices, or maybe a universal program like CDMA Workshop? I love that program. It's what I use when it comes to actually entirely rewriting files like this. Most of the time a full rewrite isn't needed though if the EFS folder has just been damaged. Which "damaged" is totally the wrong word here, but that's what it's called for some reason. I really don't even know how it happens, but I do know when it does, it usually just jumbles and/or fragments the info in the folder and needs to be put back in it's correct order. Kind of like defragging in Windows. Just a tool like you're talking about would definitely be cool for me to have though. I shall start my quest to find it. Lol
Please some help
Any luck yet ???
Got the same issue here, and none of the threads here worked .
Same problem
Hello,
I have the exact same problem. I bought the phone here in Mexico, and the phone came with erased EFS folder. Phone restarts automatically when screen turns off. When I'm using the phone, it works just fine, but some seconds after screen goes off, phone restarts automatically. EFS folder is messed up, I've tried out a lot EFS restoring tools with no luck.
I tried QPST but it does not detect the phone, only appears "?" and "No phone" blinking. The same happens with DFS Tool.
I will try to look for that tool joshw0000 talks about.
I hope we can find out a solution for this excellent phone.
Bye.
Hey ...
I did a factory reset and cache wipe, and now the phone stopped restarting when the screen goes off, but still got the "Unknown" issues.
But at least I got rid of the annoying restarts.
570 ppl read this and still no answer, I got to admit ... it's tough.

i think i have messed up big this tym . my phone is bricked .
there is no recovery and the download mode even though its there its not installing anything.
the device is not appearing as qhsusb_bulk in linux so i cant access partion it just shows lge composite device.
it just boots up i get a black screen and the notification led starts to blink all colors.
i think the only way is if somehow i can force to install through the unresponsive download mode which was working before i rooted the phone with ioroot. or somehow access the phones partitions via linux even though it shows lge composite device

Good to know a bit more info on the case. So the computer is not recognizing the phone as an adb device at all?.. (I've never used Linux OS when modding my phone so my knowledge in that department is limited and I hope someone else will be able to help you there.) .. Else I would see if a windows computer would recognize the phone as an adb device.

Sorry for not being able to help you... but i suggest you to keep all your problems in 1 thread instead of createting several threads for your issue. It gets confusing to follow all your threads and most likely harder to help you as you haven't gathered all information and status on your proceedings in one and same place.
I'm crossing my fingers hoping that someone will be able to help you or that you'll find a solution. As for your screen being cracked makes it hard to operate. Do you have a bluetooth mouse? or an otg cable where you can connect a mouse? that way you'll be able to access the whole screen.

just an idea but not sure if it will work. can you use some voice control app to make it dial the numbers you want.. like google now? "Call...".. if you understand what i mean... It's hard, unless you install a rom that allows you to rotate the screen uppside down which is also an option. I remember i cracked my nexus 4 screen. I had it running slimkat rom and could rotate the screen uppside down. But not sure you'll be able to access the hidden menu on custom rom though(?).. Do you have any efs backup anywhere?

reverting to complete stock has in many cases helped retrive imei but there is not guarantee. what you could try is to make a backup of your current rom, so that you have the old and a new back up and then restore the old and see if it worked. if not go back to the new. I guess the best would be to try to go back to complete stock.

Ah ok. Had you used ioroot, it would have takes a backup of your efs partition. Well we do not promote people to use each other's efs backups as it's illegal.
so updated from 4.2.2 to 4.4.2 to 4.4.4 to 5.0.
I didnt check each step, but I have no network access now. I get the circle with the line through it. The phone works perfectly, but no access. EMEI is there, etc etc
I've searched for hours and found no solutions.
ive odined back 4.4.2 but cant get back to 4.2.2
current baseband is I337UCUFNB1
any help would be super super appreciated.
thanks in advance
so I've got a network signal card until I put the sim in.
IMEI, # - everything shows up in the right place. Just no signals available.
No networks showing available.
Anyone??

I feel for you OP, I accidentally deleted my ESF 1/2/3 via service menu (I made a back up via service menu but don't think all the files are there.) A lot of things in my settings are set to "unknown" now. If you find a fix please share it with me, I'm hesitant to try anything else on my S4 since I've already managed to mess it up, but at the same time I guess there isn't much else to lose.

First, I have a Moto X style (XT1572) and it has the IMEI as 0! I need help on how to get it back, desperately, please help!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Well, it seems like I have "No service" on my phone, and it says that my IMEI number is 0, and my IMEI/SV is 01. I tried flashing stock rom onto this when it happened. I can't afford a new one and the only way I can keep this phone is if I can fix it - is there any way I can make an IMEI then find the folder to put this back into my phone? I have no backup, but I do have a folder called GSII_repair and it has 2 files, efs_save.tar and efs_save.tar.gz, but I'm not sure it is of any use. I just recognized the efs as the efs folder. I can't find where my IMEI is at the moment, either, so I don't know whether it is completely deleted or just corrupted. I also have a Moto G 3rd gen, I may be able to get an IMEI file from that, and then change the hexadecimals to fit my phone's original IMEI which is on my box. So please tell me, am I completely runined, and my phone is destroyed, or is there a chance that I can fix it? Thanks for any replies. Guys please help me though, I need it!

Thanks so much for the quick reply, I have tried re flashing stock rom back onto my device, as well as attempting to flash many custom roms onto it, with no luck.

`fastboot erase all` is the bane of Moto devices, once it has been done if you don't have a backup of the EFS partition to restore you are pretty much screwed and need to get it reflashed by Moto.
I know this might sound a bit weird, but can't he grab an efs partition from another pure with the efs zeroed out and then he can re edit with his imei?
IMEI
I do still have my IMEI on my box, I know what it is. Is anyone out there willing to help me by copying their efs partition and then setting the IMEI value to 0, so I can change it and then put it back into my phone? I don't know, but it might work.
