Found the imei number under the battery of the phone. But I need help changing it. Cant find a guide for LGG3, can someone help me?
And yes, I did do a backup, but it just rebooted to TWRP and nothing happened after that. So now I Unbricked using lgg3root site, still 0 though :/
means your EFS corrupted, I really hope you backed it up!
Take a look at http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/efs-lg-g3-efs-backup-restore-t2907329. If you dont have a backup you may be in serious trouble

I will be happy to donate a litt cash your way if you can help me
First thing you want to do is take the whole back up folder and COPY it to your pc incase you wipe it or muck up re-bumping the TWRP

Thanks! Good advice. I installed TWRP, but after i restored it booted up in TWRP again. How do i get it to boot up as normal?
There is a thread in dev section to solve when you are stuck in twrp.

Hey guys, I need some help...
Last night I did a nandroid backup of my DC3.2.3 install, so I could update to 3.5 (as well as installing the WIMAX update, which I hadn't done previously).. Today, I wanted to flash back to it for a minute, so I went back into nandroid to restore it, and when I tried, I got an error "couldn't open directory /sdcard/nandroid/"
So, I booted back into android and checked it out.. No nandroid folder on my sdcard, but the backup is saved in the root of the SDCard.. So I created a folder and moved my backup into that folder.. tried again, and then got an error "couldn't open directory /sdcard/nandroid/recovery.img"
Any help?
Not trying to be a jerk or anything, but couldn't you have put it here?? http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=652
And what method did you use to root?

Sorry, didn't occur to me. Mods can feel free to move it.
Rooted with Simpleroot..
Did you use rom manager to back up? If so, you need to use clockwork mod to restore. You can't switch between ra/clockwork.

Got it working with Rom manager... Thanks for the tip!
I wanted to tryout cm10 nightly build for my s3. I backed it up and installed the rom. After playing with it, I went to restore and now it says no files found?????
Any clue how to find it?

Created another backup, so I was able to put my original backup in the new backup folder and restored it from cwm recovery. Worked.

Sorry, was a bit shocked when it happened.
Well i found the back up, but when I go to CWM to restore it says no files here. But I can access them when I connect my s3 to my computer. Whats an alternate of way restoring this backup?
Where is the backup supposed to be? I have a feeling this is an emulation issue.

Its supposed to be in Internal Storage/S3/Clockwork Mod/Backup
When i try to boot into recovery and restore from there it says
"Couldnt open directory"
No files found
What version of CWM are you using? Check /storage/emulated/0 and /storage/legacy/0.

No, I meant I hope you made a nandroid backup before deleting those system files. If you did make it, do a restore and everything should be back to normal.

there is no 3.20 ruu and a nandroid backup does not restore the imei otherwise we could not change to other backups (from other people like in the nandroid backup thread) your problem is a bit more serious. Because how do we restore a imei everytime after a full wipe and custom rom ? The parts you talk about are not stored in a rom or a backup !
just flash a stockish rom like ARHD with a full wipe (and flash the boot.img via fastboot) and see if that helps !
Hi there,
I have spent hours trying to fix my issue that i am trying to fix and i was wondering if you guys could help me out?
A few weeks ago i went to go and plug my phone in as it was completely flat but for some reason it began some kind of boot loop where it would reach the lock screen for a few seconds and then power off again because it did not have enough power.
I left this on over night in the hope that it would charge my phone but when i tried to power it on in the morning it just got stuck at the Samsung logo. I did a quick web search and they suggested leaving your phone at the Samsung logo, clearing you cache/dalvic cache and finally resetting it. After all of the above failed i thought that maybe a a full restore in odin would work, the same thing happened when i tried to power it on.
I then went back into the stock recovery after the reset to find the error "E: failed to mount /efs (invalid argument)".
After quite some research into this i found a possible zip that may fix the issue from people having a similar issue but of coarse it diddn't work.
It seems as if the /efs folder/partition may be corrupted in some way.
I am really stuck on this now and i am reluctant to pay lots of money to someone to fix it
Do you have any ideas?
Many thanks,
Shenstone
EDIT: The phone has CWM recovery installed and i have attemped to flash the stock firmware with both Kies and Odin
Bro, maybe flash stock firmware will solve the prolem

Do you have the original EFS folder backed up? If so, then try restoring it and flashing a stock ROM... If you don't have your EFS backed from earlier you might have some problems, I don't know if it's possible to fix it then...

I didn't specifically backup the EFS folder, however I performed a full backup in CWM recovery. Do you know if there is a backup of the EFS folder there?
Just a quick question, is it possible to re-create a EFS folder or not?
Many thanks!

I have no mobile network and while I wait for the firmware to download from filefactory, does anyone have an EFS backup who is on the RETEU software channel?
If someone had one from RETBR would be good too, I have the same problem as you, I lost my IMEI don't exactly how but I think it had something to do with the EFS
In the meantime I've been going down the QPST route to restore my IMEI with no success. I have thw two IMEIs set to 0, so a TWRP backup + IMEI editing should work well if anyone could upload one for us.
can anyone backup their "efs" and upload it here so that i can restore it and get back my imei.
plzzz. needed indian efs

Unfortunately it doesn't work like that. It's either a motherboard replacement from Motorola or a new phone. Sorry, but I learnt the hard way. (£120 mobo replacement) Don't use the chinese TWRP.

Do you know what action did the problem? For me the Chinese twrp works fine.
But there are two Chinese twrp! One from the all-in-in guide, and I've from another thread. Both are same version, but different in size. Having a look at both, I'm using the one from the all-in-one thread (don't remember why but I found it to be better). Maybe you had problems with the other?
Hello what have you done to lose the imei? thank you very much

I accidentally wiped my efs partition with it. I think the one from the original rooting guide thread.

No but everyone should from now on. He told me his recovery has no risk of efs wiping

If you really tapped efs, then wipe, it is not the problem of the twrp. Thought it would misbehave in some way. It is a really bad idea to change anything on efs partition, but a recovery is not intended to prevent you from doing things you shouldn't do.
TWRP doesn't normally have access to the efs partition. That's why Alberto's one has no risk of wiping it.

Hello then with the one of alberto you can do wipes format and restore nandroid backup without any risk? Why did some people say they lost it by installing their own firwmare via rsdlite or fastboot? I feel my English
