[Q] efs issue anyone please help

Ok long story short I flashed something on my ls980 I believe my efs. Got wiped. I have no iemi. Unknown baseband. No service whats hoever I have tried LG flash tool and my stock tot no luck cback stock no root my phone restats every minute or so I can't find my efs backup. From io rootf. Can any body help I've got qpst. But don't know what to do. Please help
Rite now I'm on zv8. I had it on the t mobile Tom for straight talk
Also I can only get charge only and dowliad mode to respond USB please someone help
Sorry to break to you, but I don't think there's a solution at this point. I was in the same situation last month and there wasn't a solution through xda. I tried, believe me.
Try your best to wipe your phone and remove root status, and then claim LG warranty. The warranty was rejected the first time (as well as unprofessional not-returning-calls to anybody or picking up the phone), but I posted on their Facebook page and got the "executive" team to contact me. Under a week later, I was sent a new/refurbished phone, box and all.
Most stories of LG warranty are terrible though, so best of luck to you. I dealt with LG Canada.
Can you get into recovery at all? I take it you don't have a Nandroid backup? What rom were you trying to flash?

See if there's anything helpful in here...
yeah, well, go back to exact situation you made the backup(romversion on phone/etc), then restore it with the tool version you made backup with. it will require you to probably have the efs backup in the location its backed up to. my tip would be to always back it up manually somewhere else as well as remember where you put it.
but if you cant find it you did a lousy backupjob right? How is that warrantee claimable.... ?seems user error to me
I understand that u are a senior men but apparently u don't read my backup is gone I've posted that 3 or 4 times now and I know it not claimable

G935F IMEI deleted after Flashing ROM

Hi after flashing a rom not on XDA, my phone's IMEI became erased. unfortunately the EFI backup that I had wouldn't fix either. I tried going back to stock using SmartSwitch emergency recovery.
Please help my phone cannot use cellular service!
Any idea Im all ears. I tried various methods for older Galaxys around the xda, none worked.
I know my IMEI and S/N because I still have the sticker. Can anyone please help?
Have you tried flashing the stock rom over and over again? Sometimes it will eventually pick your IMEI back up.

So you decided to post another thread after having your other one cleaned because of getting flamed?
You're a senior member and you failed to make a nandroid???
Rule number one after reading XDA rules is ALWAYS make a nandroid.
NEVER flash without it .
Expensive lesson learned I've done it myself on my S3.
Good luck

G900A Soft Bricked Download works

Hello,
Basically the phone won't get past the att logo. I can get to recovery mode and download mode. I have tried to flash G900AUCU1ANCE_G900AATT1ANCE_G900AUCU1ANCE_HOME.tar.md5 with odin and it fails. It is one file which I open with AP on Odin. I have nothing else checked except auto reboot and f. reset, and i am running as an admin. Total failure/write aboot. I also tried philz recovery and it fails (secure check fail recovery). I was able to flash the stock recovery but it didn't help.
Does the failure to write at aboot mean I have the wrong rom? In download it says this: G900AUCU3BOC4
Is that the rom I need? Does anyone know where to get it?
How can I figure out which one I need? It's an ATT phone. The phone is soft bricked so I can't get in and check it.
Does the secure check fail mean I have to have the option unchecked in the settings? Again Im stuck because the phone is soft bricked and I cant uncheck it
Any advice would be appreciated, thanks!

Thank you for the advice. I tried the instructions in the post but the phone is still freezing. I've posted in that thread you mentioned, so hopefully they will give me some leads. Thanks again!
i just had exact same problem with my Virgin G900P. Try flashing in Odin in CSC, not AP, it was what worked for me. Then it reboots, gets stuck at same exact spot, the logo, but you let it be, dont unplug it or touch it, in 5 minutes mine started.

i tried changing data from ext4 t fat but it didn't work now stuck in twrp formatting

So I had a problem with mounting /data, so i searched for a fix. I found a guy on youtube who changed the /data from EXT4 to FAT and back to EXT4 .("claimed as a fix") So i gave it a try. Such a bad mistake! Now i'm stuck in formatting mode with a lot of errors (E : recv error on uevent). Should i wait till my battery runs out? Note: my device is an s7 edge (SM-G935F with an exynox processor and android 8.0). I also left the device to shut down cuz of low battery. Now whenever i start my device, the TWRP splash screen appears and freezes...
Anything will help, thanks!

If it is sucessful i'll give a detailed explanation how i managed to ubrick my phone
Peace, and thx for the help, Ibuprophen!:good:

Urgent!! Please help me!

Actually I was playing around with samsung galaxy j7(2016) when suddenly I wiped efs using samsung tool on my pc. I remembered my baseband was J710FXXU6CSK2 but after wiping of 'efs' the baseband, imei and s/n got wiped also. I followed each and every guide available on internet but I couldn't able to restore it. Now my last hope is XDA.
I need someone's help who have same device with same baseband like mine to create a backup using efs professional tool and then share the same backup file with me. Its just a matter of minutes. Please help me!!
If someone is willing to help and doesnt know the procedure, he/she can definitely contact me.
If Someone who asks me that why didnt I create backup myself, i deleted it by mistake. Sorry for such a foolish act
Please help me. It would be greatly appreciated
