Can you manually update to latest stock ROM (flash it via recovery)
If still doesn't work, send it to ASUS Service Centre.

I tried all that, gave up and sent it to ASUS, the phone was like 2 weeks old. Guy said it's a mobo problem ?

@vyrus973 dont use lg flashtool now, read the go back to stock guide and flash your phone with .tot or kdz again, root the phone, install recovery and if your modem is still unknownnyou flash it from this forum.

flashed with kdz to 4.2.2, rooted, flashed recovery, flashed baseband, still buggy ... now i did the same and toggled the ROOTED status from download mode and i upgrade to the latest, so maybe I can say to LG centre that after ota bricked, its in warranty, or should i do something else?
greets
@vyrus973 so whats now buggy then? The 0 folder is actually not a big deal, I had it also from custom roms. Is the modem still unknown? Could your efs partition maybe bad?
If its really an hardware issue non fixable then I would send it to LG if its not your fault. But if its an easy to fix software issue then I would try to fix it myself.
Could you explain more about your issue.

i just played on my efs backup 1 week ago, but did anything, is there any other method to fix it?
the bug is that he dont start the service, he does not even try to read my sim card, still no connection, and he self restarts like a loop, so i cant even use it really long time, sometimes he gets connection but even than with really bad signal, when i put on fly mode and return back he does not connect more, even the data connectivity than does not work, since i flashed the optimus v3 rom, i tried each kdz for my phone but no one did really fix it, sometimes at the first runtime it function and than after restart still buggy aaaaa its make me crazy, actually i am using a 6inches big china phone and that cant be a permanent solution.
greets
@vyrus973 so you still have the backup? If so then you can try to restore it. You can also google about g2 efs recovery to restore it but I am not sure if it is possible. I think that your efs partition is corrupted or got removed.

i restored it many times, i backuped it on 4.2.2 and on 4.4.2 but anyone does properly function, i went in the assistent center and they are going to sent it to labor, at the end i restored all, i hope that they cant see that i played with the root/bootloader, in download mode is written UNROOTED, hopes thats all ahah, in 7 days I update
greets
@vyrus973 ahh okay, if you flashed back to stock and removed root temper flag then you should be okay. If you live in europe then it didnt matter that you had rooted your phone I thought. But your download mode said unrooted so the temper flag got resetted.
Goodluck with your phone and have fun with it, dont brick it

ahahah i were not happy with the g2, nice design but mhhh don´t know ... i think after i´ll sell it, and yes i live in italy so ehehe *finger crossing* hope it will go all right ahah at the end i dont think they have to repair hardware, just plug it in their universal computer and flash all again, at the worst case they have to open it and flash on board yey

How to downgrade firmware on Zenfone 2 Laser?

Hi, I am not happy with the latest update (V1.15.40.639) and would like to downgrade to the previous one (V1.13.40.496). I read on zentalk forum that we can downgrade by downloading the latter firmware from asus site(http://www.asus.com/Phone/ZenFone-2-Laser-ZE550KL/HelpDesk_Download/) and place it on SD card root. The reboot to the recovery and select something like "apply update from external". Can someone confirm if this will work? Is there an easy enough and confirmed way to downgrade the firmware. Any help will be much appreciated.
Edit: The method works!
Haven't done that but it should work, if you face any app crashes you will need to reset phone
Pls don't downgrade it will kill ur phone

Have you tried it? If it goes dead, do you think Asus service center will be able to revive it?
No but have heard that software cannot be downgraded in any phone

He is wrong xD
Like I said the you'd face app crashes which you can fix by resetting phone.
If you are not comfortable to do this then simply go to service center and tell them you want certain update flashed for whatever reason.

Did you actually go into recovery and flash the previous firmware or just let the phone detect the firmware and install it by itself?

I placed the update on sd card. Booted to recovery. cleared data and cache and applied the update via SD Card method. The cleared cache once more and rebooted.Voila!
This method is going to wipe all user data???
Probably a reboot would do the same result.
I have, like many others, the latest firmware and I didn't encounter no problems. So definitely is not the firmware itself.

LOL. That's one question I never ask. It's always a good idea to do a backup before any update, especially if it's a full firmware flash and not an OTA update.
No. I only wiped cache and it seems to have kept the data intact at the time. I had a backup for safety's sake but I did not need to restore it.
Can We root the phone after downgrading it to lollipop using Kingroot?

Link : http://tundevs.blogspot.com/p/huawei-p8-marshmallow.html
Good luck
any logical help from person who can read my problem??
nothing working
Any ideas how to fix that problem?
In my case, the ota to B170 update will return bootloop issue.
EDIT//12.5.2016
After lot of tries i finally fixed the phone and baseband returned.
The process that worked for me was installing B170 via fastboot, than full wipe.
Its strange the same thing didn't work before, so I was keep trying and finished with success
How did u use fastboot?

Could you maybe post a link where you found the B170 ROM, or dig you extract the files(system.img;boot.img;recovery.img;...) from the B170 update.app file, because nothing is working for me. :crying::crying:
And I have no idea what to do now.

Lost my IMEI

Hello everybody,
What can I do if my Axon 7 has lost the IMEI by restoring a backup through TWRP? My baseband version is unrecognized.
I have tried to save on this thread the mobile phone, but the problem "IMEI Changer" does not recognize DIAG port.
Windows only shows:
Sry for my bad english. I use Google Translate.
I hate to say this, but you're out of luck. If you restored your EFS partition via a bad version of TWRP, you're stuck. Send it back to ZTE.

Damn and I was hoping through the program IMEI Changer could save the phone ...
I have the A2017G model and the bootloader has been unlocked. The device was bought at Amazon in Germany. Is it possible to send the device to the manufacturer because of the warranty?

I encountered the exact issue you told me. I restored a TWRP backup that I had made through a faulty TWRP version and it made me lose my IMEI and baseband. Tried just about anything. Nothing worked.
Restored everything to stock, reflashed stock recovery and locked bootloader and sent it back. Got a new one, only had to pay the shipping costs of my device to Germany. I hope you're as lucky as I have been. Thumbs up.

Folks need to stop messing with the EFS partition. The only things you should be backing up with twrp is boot, system, and data. Nothing else.
Have you tried the zadig tool?
http://zadig.akeo.ie
Also, I've found this Qualcomm Driver to always work for me in the past. Surprising. It's the ONLY one that could help my device get detected by certain tools.
I uploaded it to my AFH for safekeeping: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=817550096634746189
If you haven't tried any of this yet, just give it a whirl. I used the IMEI tool to rewrite my IMEI when I accidentally wiped it, and it was perfect.
My imei is shown as unknow i have a US phone but its working fine so i dont really pay much atention to it lol, but i will try the app kwesi posted to see if i can get it working

Axon 7 Hard Bricked

Hi, this is my first post on XDA. Excuse me if it isn´t very well made, Im writting this very quickly :c
I have an Axon7 (China version) and I flashed the U.S Version, however I lost my mobile network (ATT) signal and got a ¨No service¨text.
I flashed lineage OS to check if that would help me, flashed the universal bootloader and got it working, but I still had the no service error.
I decided to go back to stock nougat so I used Xiamiflash to try to flash the B19 firmware, it flashed succesfully but when I tried to turn it on I noticed my phone would get stock in Factory Test Mode, I flashed it succesfully but my phone wouln´t turn on, it gets stuck in a red Led and a black screen, i cant even get it to EDL mode :c
Please help.​EDIT: I got my phone back on, I don´t know how, But I still have no service, I will create another Thread

You need to reboot your PC to Driver Enforcing mode if that happens.

Maybe it's time you tried a clean reset. The IMEI is unlikely to be wiped anymore...if you don't do anything drastic.
I would suggest you try MiFlash with the B19-NOUGAT_TWRP (Nougat 7.1.1) package from this thread, then flash the stock ROM afterward in TWRP.
