Hi guys, im in a very deep trouble since yesterday, i was testing trying to flash Renovate Rom on my S8 Plus SM-955F, unbranded exynos version, Ive test before almost 5 o 6 roms without any trouble, but suddenly I got a bootloop, so i decide to restore the backup I made before i was start to flashing any rom, along tow days ago. The backup apparently restores well, but it last only about 15 or 20 seconds, I rebooted and doesnt get pass from galaxy s8 logo at startup; so Ive restarted again , got to thw twrp and tried to flash again another rom, BatStock in this case, phones starts without a problema, but now network doesnt work, and Ive lost my IMEI , baseband, and i guess all EFS folder.
Apparently the backup on the sd is corrupt , and I tought when i tried to restore the backup, It get all erased and messed up.
Does anybody have some idea to solve the problem, Ive tried to restore the efs backup from the backup alone, apparently it restores, but i continue without imei.
Please someone help me, Im getting crazy aboyt that, ive buy the phone trough and Internet page, so I dont have warranty in my country Argentina.
Thanks in advance.
Any idea?
Please Help me folks
Try this way via Smart Switch
Hi, search in S7 edge forum, you have a guide to recover the IMEI. Are you using an external SD for nand backup?

If you are sure that your backup was properly created, you can omit the md5 check.
There's an option in the TWRP settings.

I think that was the beggining of the problem ,when i tried to restore without md5 check,twrp restores thebackup,but im sure its corrupt ,because it only takes 15 seconds,but phone get stuck at startup galaxy s8 screen.
Im getting this screen when restoring with twrp.

From the screenshot it looks like you are trying to restore the cache.
Can you try without it, and restore /efs ?

Just wipe the cache part. Then it should boot

Restore the backup and then wipe the cache?
Always whenevr we restore, we should wipe cache/dalvik cache then reboot.
Or try smart switch after putting phone into download mode and it does it's job well.
Some files have gone corrupt but majority Looks fine. Wipe cache n reboot n let us know

I've tested wiping cache / dalvik previously and right now. Same result
Guys, do you know If it's possible to extract the efs partition or efs folder from the twrp backup, it's maybe posible?
And how I can check if the backup is allright or if it's damaged.?
Extract twrp backup via 7zip
I wanted to flash stock rom but by mistake I flashed a wrong version of it. I later found the actual version of rom i needed and flashed it. Everything is working fine but I'm not getting network services. Is there a fix for this plz help
How is that being "hardbricked"? When it is "hardbricked" you will have only a flashing led, and not be able to boot into anything, much less be able to flash a rom.
