Hello, somebody could help me in a backup of the persist or efs folder for moto g5 xt1671?, this problem ocurred me when i flashed the original firmware and i forgot make a backup of that partition, please.
thank you very much for your attention.
Your device is a G5 (cedric), not a G5 Plus, right? If so, you're in the G5 Plus forums.
However, you do NOT want to flash any other device's persist, you will permanently cause damage to your phone. Instead, back up your persist and efs now, and then look at this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5-plus/how-to/fix-persist-resolve-imei0-explanation-t3825147
The links in that thread are specific to potter, but the same principles apply.
I restored someone's else persist when i didn't know how bad it was... Im at imei 0 and only calls. is there any way to get 3g bacck?
Sorry man, but the best case is that you have an old backup of efs when it was working if you don't have your own persist.

Hello,
I have this problem with my phone and i don't know how to fix it, the IMEI is Null and when i enter "*#0011#" the ServiceMode is Blank !!
I tried to use GS5_EFS_Backup but it doesn't work ! Also the phoe get hot a lot, and when i put it in charge the battery level of charge is stuck in 10% always.
My phone is rooted.
Help me Please.
Thank you
Sounds like you wiped your EFS partition without backing it up first
Phone is dead if that is the case
Some people have had success backing up another S5 EFS, then restoring it to the dead phone
Otherwise, take it to a repair shop, next time backup before messing about

Thank you Detection for your answer. So where can i find another S5 EFS, and how can i restore it.
Help me Please because i tried already to take it to a repair shop but they don't know how to fix it, that's why I wanna try to repair it myself, and i think its one of the repair shops who wiped the EFS partition without making a backup (because i give to 3 repair shops and they don't know how to fix it).
You'll need another S5, no-one here will give you their EFS backup as it is specific to their S5
A trusting friend / family member or an old 2nd hand S5 if you can find one, is your only choice

There is no other solution like flashing the PIT file using Odin and reinstate the stock rom or any other solution !
Nope, not if you've deleted the EFS partition - that contains the IMEI and Radios
Ok thank you, ill try to contact samsung after sales service.
Hi everybody,
I have same issue:
I needed to update SU-binaries and tapped accidentally on CWM/TWRP-Mode instead of normal. After this IMEI is null, Service Mode blank, sudden reboots and unable to install any Apps (always saying no free memory). uninstalling App causes reboot.
I have efs backup made with (PhilZ Touch) CWM, but I'm not able to fix the problem with it.
What I tried:
flashing Stock ROM + updating Bootloader in Odin
this Guide (except Samsung Tool and Terminal Emulator steps, as I can't install any App)
CWM script
I really don't know what else I can do. Does anybody have some other ideas?
Also backing up is not possible, now. EFS Professional says specified PIT file does not exist, even when I choose all partitions.
FIXED. Possible solution.
Fixed. Went to a shop to repair IMEI/EFS.
It seems there is something called "IMEI NV Generator", this should also do the magic and would have saved me some money.

I have the same problem after trying to change the original IMEI>>> any help please
Please take a look here and here.
Hello everyone,
So, I recently managed to corrupt the IMEI (EFS partition) on my Samsung On5 and need help to fix it completely, if someone could aid me in restoring my IMEI by either flashing the stock firmware or a different method that would be great, thanks <3

IMEI is unique to every phone, if you never backed it up (efs backup) then your out of luck. Try a full factory firmware flash, if that doesnt help, youre out of luck
I have made a qcn file for tb-8703n
but it can't be opened by qcnview.exe
I really wonder if it can be restored back to the tablet at later times when something went wrong
I did make a full backup of the tablet with TWRP (3.2.1.0)
BUT
I don't know if the full backup includes IMEI and modem
can anyone tell me that?
thx
Hey!
I attempted to root my phone for the first time yesterday and after a lot of trial and error, managed to flash magisk and start the phone without anything breaking. But I was really, really dumb and forgot to actually move the backup I took off TWRP and onto my PC before I ****ed up the first time and had to reset everything. And now I don't have a functioning IMEI / Wifi / Bassband etc. I know the correct IMEI of my phone but can't find a way to flash it or any of the other things onto my phone.
Anyone been through something similar? Or am I **** out of luck?
This thread will give you the answers although it's for Moto g5 plus...

Flash stock using the guide here in xda
Hey there folks,
here I am now too on the forum, trying to find a solution for an old sticky problem.
So far a some people here on the forum a while ago have had the problem that when they flashed a custom OS on their Zenfone 3 while data roaming was turned off in the stock rom, they could never get it working unless reverting back to the stock OS and switching it on there before reinstalling the custom OS. Until then only normal calls and SMS work.
I'm having the same problem now and trying to avoid going back to stock, so I wonder if somebody has found another solution by now? Any help would be really appreciated, and I think a lot of other EU people who will run into this problem in the future will be grateful too if this could be solved easier somehow :fingers-crossed:
Update: I took a look at the firmware partition and there is a folder image/modem_pr which seems to include the configuration how the phone connects to mobile networks. I don't claim to have any special knowledge about it but i would expect this is where the stock rom most probably makes its change about data roaming.
So maybe, as long as what the firmware partition contains is generic firmware, could somebody who has data roaming working on their Zenfone3 send a copy of their /firmware/image folder so I can compare the two and hopefully find the missing puzzle piece to get data roaming working?
I would of course post the solution here for everyone in case I figure it out! Would be great if we can solve it
I have the same problem. Please help.
So, here's an update:
After going crazy searching for a possible fix I gave up yesterday and re-installed the stock rom in order to turn on data roaming (since my TWRP backup won't boot that is something I had been trying to avoid, because the only way I found to do this was to either install a recovery from somewhere on the internet that is claimed to be the original Asus recovery but has no way to be integrity-checked for possibly including malware, or to install software designed to bypass Google's SafetyNet and other system integrity checks. Nah.)
Today I took a look at comparing a TWRP backup of the modem partition (contents identical to the one that mounts as "firmware"), and the persist partition. I wrote a script that would calculate the md5 checksum for each file and then compare for any changes.
On the modem partition, only binary files named Widevine changed, for whatever reason :silly:
And here is a list of the files that were changed on the persist partition:

Unfortunately, mostly binary files making it impossible for me to dig deeper into the changes. But maybe somebody spots something odd that could lead to the solution.
My next step will be to go abroad again in early March and see if the data roaming now works. If it does, I will restore a TWRP backup of all partitions I could back up before returning to stock. If it still works then, then the stock rom made its change somewhere on one of the partitions TWRP does not back up. If it stops working, then the answer lies hidden somewhere on the TWRP-backuped partitions.
Either way, I'm sure there must be a manual solution, what happens on the stock rom cannot be black magic
Will keep you updated.
Alright, it's the 1st of March and I'm back abroad! I finally have data roaming working and got a little further in my investigation: Restoring partitions one by one, i figured out that the change by the stock concerning the data roaming is made somewhere on the efs partition (which one of the two I can't say yet, as TWRP only lets me restore them both together). Now I haven't succeeded yet how to mount the efs.emmc TWRP backup or otherwise dump the contents of the efs partition, but if someone here knows I'll go dig deeper and track down the specific entry that is changed
Can you tell how to restore the original partition without flashing the asus rom? Thanks
If you ever had data roaming working and created a Nandroid (TWRP) backup at the time, you can simply restore the efs partitions from back then. Just be sure to use the latest TWRP version and make a fresh backup before you go, as there used to be a version some time ago that corrupted efs partition backups.
If you don't, well, as long as I can't read out my efs I can't tell you what to modify in there and how Maybe somebody
I think my only option is to flash the original Asus rom. It is waste time if only to turn on the data roaming.
