So... After trying to flash a different modem believing it would get me better signal on a custom ROM, I got stuck in a bootloop. I restored my EFS backup as suggested, but that did nothing. Now my phone will not get past the dancing Google circles, and nor will it get recognized by my computer. How, at the very least, would I go about getting my computer to recognize it so I can put the proper files on my phone needed to fix it? I have some really important files on there, so a hard reset is not an option
Nevermind restored to stock

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.
I have searched everywhere with no luck. My I337Z was 4.4.2 (after OTA) working well, no root, no unlock. Suddenly IMEI and Baseband go null. So what I did first was to restore it to factory settings, which didnt work and also some native apps like Contacts stopped working (not opening). I tried to restore it through KIES, it put my phone in Emergency mode, no escape there...I then went to the Factory files http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2448794 which got my phone back to 4.2.2 and working...but still no Signal nor IMEI nor Baseband. I flashed MODEM and now it doesn't have any sound, wifi either....I went through KIES again and was able to catch the files it downloads when initializing the device, flash the System, MODEM and CSC, but same results and it is still on 4.2.2. Also when trying to flash Bootloader I get FAIL(Auth) code (I suppose because my BL is not unlocked)
My request:
I am thinking if someone can make a backup of System partition, I could put it into my phone as RESTORE through TWRP (not installed yet) I might be able to revive this device.
EDIT: I am looking build i337ztuubne2 since my bootloader is now ne2 because of the OTA
Suggestions are welcome!! Thanks!!!

KIES 2.6 or 3? You had to be root to get to TWRP. Did the Z model ship with 4.2? I would be surprised, but don't really know. try 3. Start in download mode. I use cricket as well but never a cricket device. I will be in our cricket retailer today, the guys are pretty much ignorant to anything more than activating but possibly one may have a Z/s4 we could pull a nandroid from. Doubtful.
Sounds like you need a warranty replacement. Lesson learned? Always backup EFS!

First, the phone came with 4.2.2, so I used the files that kies 2.6 downloaded (haven't tried with kies 3) but the phone had 4.4.2 when it started acting up. It was updated OTA. As of now, I am rooted with twrp installed, no issues there. Now, if you could extract a nandroid from one of them, would be great! I do want to be on KitKat and not JB. I can flash it through odin 4.2.2 with no WiFi, sound nor calls. I think because the baseband is for KitKat and not for JB
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.
I don't know where else to put this since this phone does not have its own forum here.
Here is my problem...
My vista was rooted and I was going to sell it to a friend so I was doing a factory reset with the phones built-in option... And the stock factory reset makes it all the way to where I enter my first and last name and then after doing so I get this error...
LGsetupWizard has stopped (there are more words but this sums it up)
And then the Setup Wizard restarts.
I then go through the setup process again thinking it will go through this time... Same error message... LGsetupWizard has stopped, and it restarts itself.
I have searched for a fix for this EVERYWHERE and cannot find a fix... I cannot even find the stock rom/firmware for my device: AT&T LG G Vista D631
The official website has no download and the only "stock" ROM/firmware I can find is for the Verizon VS880 and it's counter parts...
Can ANYONE help me get this phone fixed and make it all the way through the LGsetupWizard without it looping/stopping/crashing???
Really need some help from the pros as I have exhausted all my tools/methods in finding a fix/solution.
EDIT: I am able to get into the settings menu (with fast fingers) right after I click OK to get rid of the error message.
I have turned on DEV MOD and enabled all the settings needed in order to flash stuff and put stuff onto the phone via computer USB...
How can I fix this problem if I am able to have access to DEV MOD on phone???
Problem solved.
I used LG D631 TOT DLL.rar and LG Flash Tool.
I forgot where I got these files from, but I am sure a simple search on a search engine will help you find them.
After I got it to boot back up, I used TitaniumBackup and found that LGSetupWizard was "frozen"... So I unfroze it and did the factory reset again and it went all the way through the LG Setup.
Hi Guys
This is my first post on xda even after using these forums for years. But today I cant find a solution on here or anywhere for that fact, and was literally hoping that I've missed something somewhere.
So to start. I have a Samsung Galaxy J5 Prime (SM-G570F). The other day I was flashing a custom rom when something went wrong during the flashing process and left me with a bricked device. Now I did do a full backup before flashing as I've learned the hard way how important this is. During the flashing it also asked me for a full wipe and to backup the EFS. Even though I did do all the backups and wiped everything< I've ticked both boxes and proceeded with the installation. Everything seemed fine but on 99.9% it froze. Not wanting to do anything I left it until it rebooted the phone by itself, where I was greeted with the download/flash screen. Didn't even give the warning about installing custom software and asked to continue. It just booted straight to the download screen. Tried getting back into recovery only to be greeted with download screen. No matter what I did it just kept booting into download mode. So I then re-flashed TWRP. Getting into the recovery I was able to mount EFS, System, Data, etc. Bu all showed 0mb of 0mb available. I then went to restore everything only to find that the SD Card was also wiped by the process. Thinking that maybe the recovery isn't reading everything correctly, I found the SD Card empty in windows also. No call me names or whatever, (I know my own stupidity) but I never backed up my backups on my PC. So I just proceeded flashing stock firmware as to start from scratch. Everything went as planned until the device got reset by odin. I was greeted with a screen saying "installing system update", but as soon as it reach 32% it changes to "erasing" and then "error" with the "DRK Missing" error. Then it boots to recovery where an error message is saying "unable to mount: EFS (Device or Recourse busy). I cleared cache and did a factory reset and it booted the system (Though mount error still appears in recovery even in custom TWRP/CWM recoveries also). Now I have a 00000..... IMEI number and no network connection. I've spent the last week on the web trying to find a solution with no luck. I'm tired AF because I didn't sleep trying to solve this. I tried flashing stock and custom roms, recovery's, boot-loaders, modems. Tried different software's like Samsung Tool, IMEI repair tool, Strings of adb commands, xposed modules, apps, terminals, etc. I even flashed factory binaries with no luck as to how to change it back.
So in short.
My EFS got wiped.
I lost my IMEI.
I don't have any backups.
Been awake for a week searching for solutions with no luck.
So please if anyone knows of a way to change the IMEI, please help me. I know It's illegal to change IMEI (though not in my country). But I down't want to change it for all the wrong reasons. I just want to change it back to the original found on the back of the phone and on the box. This can't do any harm can it? Please I just want my phone back please!

If this problem is still open, then on Your Phone box is writen imei, or take battery out and under serial number there will be your imei, root your device and use IMEI changer grant root access and type your imei in it, after that reboot and your imei should pop up! I had same issue and this steps made my day! THIS WORKS ONLY ON YOUR IMEI, YOU CAN'T CRACK, STEAL IMEI By this method, don't believe those Dumb ****'s from YouTube!
May I help You!
