Well i was trying to to flash a new rom on my D802 and accidentaly i deleted everything... a full wipe from phone menu ( not recovery )
Since there was absolutely nothing on the hard drive anymore ( i assume) Phils TWM coudnt find any folders .. i had to push roms to the phone through adb now the problem is that no matter what rom i install i get no connectivity/no service .. cant recieve any calls or use data... only wifi...
I tried re flashing...
Stock rom
Paranoid rom
G flex rom
Stock kernal and peak 5.2 kernal
Nothing has worked? How do i restore connectivity to my phone? Thanks
You have a problem.. Your EFS folder was probably wiped
I guess you could reflash your kdz and bring it into the service centre?

I bought this phone through Kogan shipped from hongkong... This will take weeks, perhaps months... I am not even good with reverting phone back to stock as if never happened...
Is there any other way for me to fix it myself?
Anyone.?
there are plenty of guides on xda on how to revert to stock. search these forums and read carefully. you will be back up in no time. there is also a thread on stock modems also. give it a whirl

Reverting back to stock hasnt helped... my efs folder is deleted... i need to fix that
If it's gone, I don't think it can be fixed at home.
Try irc. Channel. #LG-g2. May find a few folks who can help or lead you in the right direction. Assuming you didn't back up your efs ?

No I didn't backup. I have never used irc before but I'll figure out once I get home. Thanks
If anyone has any tutorials please let me know as it can literally save me a couple hundred bucks.

No one has came forward on IRC guys anyone out there who has any clues how to deal with this?
On another thread someone suggested this :
NomadCF said:
Honestly, you'd need some one to send you their EFS backup (who's on the same carrier and model). Then you'd need to extract it. Then edit it to replace their data with yours.
But I don't think your going to find anyone willing to do that. As it's a HUGE risk to them. So I think your only bet it to to a warranty or repair 'call' with lg if not your carrier.

Is there anyone who can help me with this folder? You can remove your sensitive info... I have the international d802 bought from Kogan Hong Kong stock been using with optus network in Melbourne Australia. Will really really appreciate it.
I don't think editing will help. Don't know if you can even do that.

So is my phone a expensive paper weight or what now?
Warranty service?
Yeah, if you wipe your EFS, flashing back to stock wont help. The EFS partition contains files individual to each device, you will probably have to return it for repair man D:
I've had the same problem too, my SIM card doesn't seem to be reading on my phone either; and it definitely a functional sim.

Unfortunately warranty service is not a worthy option for me.. I have D802 from Kogan HK

I'm sorry, xda mail somehow has been going to my spam folder.
Anyway I am not familiar with this issue, but perhaps you can restore your stock rom via flashtool, then call LG and tell them that you don't know why this happened Oh and modems are distinct from EFS I think (at least that's my understanding)
Your main problem will be the shipping though
I found this thread for the lg optimus G though - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2161498. Perhaps try PM-ing autoprime?
Same Problem
I also am in this EXACT same position. Still havent found a resolution quite yet. I am in correspondence with Shellnut the guy who actually wrote the freegee app that uses loki to flash cwm and twrp. He said that only cdma phones need efs, that the gsm phones didnt need it. This was new information to me. I haven't heard back from him quite yet as he informed me my phone wasnt bricked and that they would help me get back up and running. I know he is extremely busy. I have also been hearing that you can possibly use lg qpst to manually write your imei, looking into this now.
I would love to not have to take the risk of sending it in. Would love to just fix it.
i'm in the exact same position right now. Hunting the threads for a fix. I will be going back to Hong kong in 2 weeks time for 2 days, not sure if thats sufficient time for LG to get it fixed.
Hopefully we can find a solution soon!
Hi guys,
I red the whole world about finding a solution for my issue, but didn't find anything that worked. I've got my note 3 n9005 flashed with stock 4.4 and the IMEI is showing null and the Baseband is unknown. I red that the IMEI restoring is done through the EFS folder somehow, but unfortunately I don't have it backed up Didn't find anything about the Baseband as well.
Could you guys help me get my note fixed.
Thanks in advance.

SOLUTION:
After investigating my issues forever I finally found out that my note was a Demo version. The guy that sold it to me lied about it, but anyway I returned it to him.
You can check if yours is a demo when disassemble it. You need to be looking for an antenna (it's a long wire coming from the back-right-bottom of the phone, going to the top of it). Unfortunately I deleted my photos showing where the antenna is, but you could search in google. If there is no such wire, your unit is most probably a demo phone.

Anyway while waiting, do you think there is a way of flashing the SD card itself with the required files from an original or custom rom.
I mean, if I unzip the rom, will I find the files that I need there?
This might be a stupid question, but might be worth asking it.
There is a t-flash method, but we tried it and it didn't work over in the t mobile section. The problem being is you have to use a working phone to do so, and it is always a risk to the other party.

you'll have to bite the bullet and do what I had to do a few days ago and get it done properly via a phone repair shop
I used to flash VN-Rom and some times Dr. Ketan Rom in my SM-N900 and it always worked properly until last time.
After I flashed Dr.Ketan Rom my network stopped working. So immediately flashed stock rom via ODIN but even now my network isn't working!
What to do guys, please somebody help me out here! :crying:

Repeated rooting will never break your hardware unless you mess something up really badly.
To OP - I assume your IMEI is unknown. Do you have EFS backup? Restore it if you do. If no, then flashing stock ROM via Odin appears to have fixed it. Search, this issue has been discussed very many times.
Tonight I installed KitKat 4.4.4 (tried 2 different 4.4.4 roms) on an i9505 which was previously running jelly bean (stock, touchwiz).
The phone network keeps disconnecting on it. If I go into wireless and networks/more/mobile networks/network operators and select my provider through there, it will connect and work fine for a while, but will then disconnect itself again randomly. The IMEI is all fine. This is the first time i've really been stuck with a problem, and i've been flashing roms on multiple phones for a long time.
Why would it be working, but keep disconnecting itself? So annoying..
Anyone able to give me some help here please? Would really be much appreciated, thanks..
Just thought....
My mate whose phone it is has gone away so I won't be able to try this until tomorrow, but maybe it's not a UK baseband on it..
I'm sure I've used basebands before though that weren't specifically for my country on other galaxy phones, but it's a good possibility do you think? I didn't think it could cause that, until now..
I can't believe I never thought of trying that at the time, I'll find out if that is the problem tomorrow.
Solved!!
For anyone experiencing the same problem...
Flash a baseband which is specifically for your country with Odin - WITH AUTO REBOOT UNCHECKED
take battery out. Boot into download mode. Flash the same baseband again. For some reason if you only flash it once and leave reboot checked it doesn't work.
Phone will boot, and you will find that the problem is fixed.
Hope this helps someone else avoid the **** that I encountered.
Thanks!

I was scratching my head for a while with that problem, and I'd consider myself pretty experienced with android and flashing ROMs.
I was searching the net, and I found forum posts of people saying they had the same problem, I even found posts that said SOLVED!!! in them, with no explanation as to how it was solved lol. Great help.

Hes been sarcastic surely! Or been one of those people who live to wind people up
Guys are you serious ?? The second you flash note 4 rom you will get your phone bricked don't listen to the trolls here
The N4 firmware has unique system drivers that are incompatible with any other phone, it will not work on the N3. It probably won't even flash. I'm sure you could extract the apps and install some of the system apks, but please don't actually try to flash the whole firmware or you will likely brick your phone.

goto settings more networks under connection tab then mobile networks then network operators and search for them. If that fails try differ rom and if that fails I am assuming you have somehow changed your modem. Find one for your country and flash using odin.
Also try Kies emergency firmware recovery using windows laptop or pc.
