thanks I download now

Thanks very much Brooklyn2001 for that S2109a image. Would you possibly have any advice as to how to get it flashed over to the device? I have working CWM on the tablet and can boot into that, but the CWM does not recognize the external sdcard and I am not sure how to get the device reflashed without CWM being able to find the image you uploaded.
Can you offer any advice on how to do that? Tablet does not appear to be seen when issue ADB shell or Fastboot commands on my PC, so at the moment I am stuck with a device that boots to LENOVO logo and then stops.
Thanks for any advice you can offer!!

Please help me! my phone is screwed

Hey I'm from india and own an i9500
bought 5 months ago
I was using my phone normally and flashed a stock rom with ODIb
the phone booted up.
The problem is that I have emergency calls only and my IMEI has been changed to Fake IMEI
1) my phone is out of warranty as some moisture traces have gone into iy and samsung asks for 200$ for every small problem they need to change the board
2) I don't think so I have the EFS backup
Please Oh please someone guide me what to do?

There's a thread on that here. You could try that, but I think that without a backup, it's going to be pretty hard to get it back up. First thing I do when I get a new phone is to backup the EFS.

Flashing a different stock rom did not help?

Did you actually tried to flash your original Stock ROM with Odin? If not, try other stock ROMs.
There's another ref link here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2393289
I recommend you read through that thoroughly.

Yes I did flash the stock rom with ODIN which I successively used before
I read it but this is actually getting impossible for me.
After the phone shows generic IMEI.
will backing up the efs help now?
Also I flashed CM 10.
that also didn't give me back my IMEI.
really appreciate your help
and would be really grateful if someone guides me through this catastrophe.

Also I forgot to mention that I update to stock MJ5 4.3
I read that it changes the directory of efs?
Please someone help me!

Since you updated to mj5 you'll have to use that firmware version in odin.

maybe
Maybe you could wipe Dalvik and cache memory, then do a factory reset through the recovery menu. This will reset everything of your phone, so your IMEI should go back to it's real number(you'll lose all your data so make a backup before doing it).
Have you also tested if it's not the SIM that doesn't work by putting it into another cell-phone?

Sim isn't the problem.
Also wipin dalvik Cache might now fix the problem. But I will try it
thanks
any more suggestion?

A factory reset/wipe Dalvik ain't magically fixing this. If you've gone back to stock (a rom released by your carrier) & your IMEI hasn't returned & you have no backup, you're boned. Service centre (more expensive option), or ask around local mobile repair shops; they might be able to help more cheaply.

Total brick. Wiped the wrong things in fastboot.

The firmware partitions, modem, hyp, sbl1, recovery.
Forgot to flash them back before reboot.
Ive since learnt one can recover with QPST and some files. Problem is i cant find them for Asus.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
you didn't wipe aboot, abootbak, hypbak? right? Our phone has a backup partition for each partition (abootbak, hypback, sbl1bak, modembak, etc), asus included these, so there must be some way to use them to unbrick. Are you able to reboot to fastboot mode? ( i guess not, but still to confirm)
You can unbrick with QFIL ONLY if you manage to find your device's RAM IMAGE (usually MPRxxxx.mbn) and BOOT IMAGE (usually xxxx_msimage.mbn). Other flash files are included in asus fota, only these two are not. @shakalaca might help to find these files or the entire service ROM. I have been searching for asus service but to no avail . I have flashed many lenevo and xiomi phones with QFIL. Here's is a very nice guide http://www.androidbrick.com/unbrick...-you-have-the-right-kind-of-rom-qhsusb_dload/
You can request for ZF2 laser's service ROM on that website/blog. GSM FORUM is also a good forum to request service ROMs

No it doesn't boot. It won't even power on
But it still gets detected as Qualcomm device when plugged in to pc

4llerbuntu said:
No i didnt wipe those.
Will the MPRxxx.mbn and msimage.mbn for another phone but similar processor and chipset work? I found those for MSM8916 for another device and im hoping i can use those.

I never cross flashed ram image. Be patient. Don't flash other device's ram image, it may worsen conditions. Keep this as the final solution, but NOT NOW. Also, you need boot image (.mbn) too.

Are you sure msimage is same as gpt? I have attached my ze550kl msm8916 gpt dump. Seems there are three- gpt, gpt1, and gpt2. Try your luck with each one by one.
And please stick to one thread, b7mping the forum is not a solution to your problem. Update your OP by mentioned.ing the workarounds you have tried till now and useful links you have visited for fixing the issue. I know a friend who is a mobile repairer. He might have the service rom for your device. I am waiting for his reply

Read this and see if any if it applies.

I'm not sure how the tool works, but maybe you can pull your backups and write back your partitions from the backup.

Need EFS Backup of WORKING Nexus 6P

Google will not admit this but there were major security flaws in factory images before jan,2017.
Read for yourself below article.
Link: https://www.google.com/amp/www.tech...d-nexus-6-patch-fixes-modem-vulnerability.htm
They patched it in Jan. But effected users like us(who got effected on 2016) got proper fu***.
The result : NO SERVICE but detects sim card.
Kindly.....Plz....plz...plz....make a copy of your efs and provide it in this thread. Please also mention what factory image/build number u are using.

No one will give you his EFS backup because its unique for each phone..so you cant use someone else EFS on your phone...

Really?? Thats a big news for me its no problem do i know him or not.. How can you use someone else EFS/IMEI.. it would be 2 phones with same IMEI number..maybe it will work, but its like you use someone else ID card and present it like its yours..

Hey,
When the IMEI is corrupted on the software side, it still shows up using:
fastboot getvar all
So the IMEI is somehow corrupted on the EFS partition. How, I don't know. Seems like the EFS acts like a bridge between hardware/software. Of course, I could be wrong...
Some have tried but didn't succeed. Now, it's not the first time I see someone using another EFS backup and getting his IMEI back. I don't know why it would get "their"" original IMEI instead of the one included in the EFS backup either. But i guess they must all lie saying it fixed their device.
Cheers...

I have restored EFS using a backup from someone else's device EFS. It did not change my original imei.

I'll share one soon for everyone here. I'm just a bit worried about security though as I don't know what happens and what data is stored in an efs backup.

Down do it. The efs is device dependent. It will contain things like your imei. So even if restored on another device it will end up causing issues due to the same imei on different devices. It can also make it so things like WiFi don't work

Okay thank you, I had no clue about efs so I'll take your word on it.

Guys can anyone share efs so that I can restore and save my phone..I Have no signal ispitevof detection sim card...it shows no service.. But when I use jio it shows full signal..kindly help..

I had similar problem with my OnePlus X. Apparently I was saving and restoring my efs partion with every twrp backup which eventually caused it to become currupt. Thought my phone was toast until a friend on telegram suggested deleting modem1 and modem2 files with adb commands. Sounded more destructive then good but it actually worked sim was reading again and got full use of my phone. It's good to make backup of efs but only once. Not sure if this is the fix for every phone but works with OnePlus and Xiaomi.
How to Fix EFS from Bootloader Mode using Fastboot commands
Setup ADB and Fastboot on your PC.
Enable Developer options & USB debugging on your Android device.
Connect your device to the PC and open a command window on the PC.
Issue the following commands one by one:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot reboot
Got my information from here

Unless you have a Backup of your Modemst1 & Modemst2 somewhere there is nothing that you can do. Other than sending the phone to OnePlus for repair. That's the only way I'm afraid.

No. The IMEI is unique for every device. So the backup of another 6T won't work. I'm afraid you'll have to get the motherboard replaced.
