Permanent no service? No connectivity?

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!

[Q] Messed up my phone, return to stock?

Hello XDA.
I have a:
Galaxy S4 SGH-I337M (IT'S EITHER A BELL/ROGERS PHONE)
BASEBAND VERSION: I1337MVLUAMDJ
KERNAL VERSION: 3.4.0-1529758 [email protected]#1
BUILD NUMBER: K0T49H.1337MVLUFNE1
The problem is, I had rooted my phone long time ago and wanted to recently unroot and update to the latest KitKat version (I was on jellybean). It would not let be update because it said the device was modified or something of that sort. I tried to unroot by following a tutorial online and flashing with a stock rom.
I did exactly as it says but now my phone is totally messed up. My Wifi no longer works, the apps keep crashing and nothing is working like its suppose too. I do not know what to do to fix this. How do I return my phone back to factory settings as if it is brand new? I have tried flashing stock roms 3 times new (3 different ones using ODIN) and nothing seems to work. I have tried samsung kies and it is still doing the same thing!
Please help.

You have to register but it's free. You'll download a zip. Use 7-zip to extract a .tar.md5 file. Use that in Odin

The websites downloads are very slow. I am currently downloading it and will attempt to flash it. The problem is, I believe I have already tried this and might have somehow messed something else up such as the kernel or something.
Do you know if this could be the case?

No, it would not be the case. Odin flashes the entire firmware, kernel and all. Sammobile is an official site for the firmware so if it doesn't work you might have a hardware issue. But wait for the download.

I'll definitely try flashing this one. Any specific instructions with ODIN for this? (I might be doing something wrong). Also, I do not believe its a hardware issue as it was fine before I attempted to unroot it today and make it factory default stock rom

I have flashed the official one from that website and same problem. My WIFI does not work and there are random glitches like the phone being slow and etc. I don't understand what I could have done to cause this and what could possibly be done to fix it.
I think the modem may be an issue. Can someone please confirm?

When I try to slide the WIFI tab, it slides back to off by itself. My phone is i337M and mine and his have a similar issue but different phone type. I flashed 4.4.2 with Odin.
I honestly believe that it's a problem with the kernel/modem. Do you know of a way to change EVERYTHING back to factory settings?

Odin flashes everything back to stock, like new. Try the mk6 version of the firmware.
Edit, what version of Odin ate you using?

Not sure what else to tell you. If Odin isn't working you may have a hardware issue. Odin should return engaguing to like new. The only thing I can think of is you have an issue with the emmc memory, which isn't good.

[FIXED] Soft-bricked Note 3 LTE (SM-N9005)

When I turn my phone on it goes into boot loop. I tried accessing TWRP but it's not good either, it would just show the startup screen and nothing will happen. I don't know how this happened because my phone was working perfectly last night before I slept. I didn't charge my phone so when I woke up the battery was drained. So I plugged in my charger and turn it on, it'll just go into boot loop just like what I said earlier. Please help. I have read that I should flash stock through Odin, but where can I find it? Please help. Thanks!

Thanks, I actually know that I have to go to that site to download the firmware, I just needed some confirmation haha! But this here is my real (stupid-ish) question, is it possible to recover/access my data? Will it be lost after flashing?

When my device was bricked a bit times... I flashed the firmware and all my data wasn't lost it just changed the system and did not delete any data... But make sure u only flash the firmware version that was present before u bricked your device....
MOST of the times it doesn't delete any data☺

Backuping EFS partition will backup data like device specific essential information such as the IMEI (International Mobile Station Equipment Identity), wireless device MAC address, baseband version, product code, system ID and NV data.
If you lose your IMEI during flashing and wiping roms, you will end up with a piece of brick incapable of making calls:crying:

Hi all

FRP Lock help?!

Bought another s7 edge off Craigslist. Everything was fine and legit and phone was reset but guy left the secure boot lock on so (dumbly) I factory reset it from the recovery menu and upon boot got hit with the FRP. Texted the guy and said he would help me out when he got to his house (~hour away) but now no response(have screenshots to prove it). Not trying to be fraudulent in anyway I just want to be able to use the phone I paid for. Phone wasn't stolen as I require sellers show me proof of purchase or actual use of the phone

Well your only choice at this point is to contact the guy
