yikes..

There's a lot of warnings throughout the forum to not use the Chinese TWRP, even Alberto said so in his Unofficial TWRP thread, you can't blame anyone but yourself.

If your IMEI is wiped there is nothing you can do.

Sorry if my english isn't good since is not my native language...thanks in advance
Wrong modem.
Thanks for your reply but I don't think that is a modem problem because I've flashed all the possible modems and still the same way, another thing is that I entered to the secret menu and did a erase of efs 1 2 3 or something, is there a way to recover or fix that problem? Please help me I am desperate

So there isn't any way to restore it?
well, I assume you made a back up of everything before you started flashing and installing all sorts of files on your phone...

[RESOLVED] Formatted Factory - Lost IMEI - Please Help!

Hi, apparently some genius developing CWM decided it would be fun to allow the factory partition to be formatted with the newest versions of CWM (I'm on 6.0.4.6). Well guess what, I managed to format it on my GNex (it's quite easy to do actually).
Anyways, I've lost my IMEI data and unable to access mobile network (data connectivity is fine, however, surprisingly). Somebody please help me restore my IMEI because I don't have a nandroid backup either.
Thanks a lot!
Deleted, did a search on IMEI and found a bunch of threads. Reading them now...

Paul how did you manage to mess up your phone? Was it the same way I did? The thing is, all is not lost, I'm absolutely certain of that. It's not a brick until it absolutely and completely refuses to power up...
@osm0sis, can you please help me out here? I know there was even an IMEI changing tool but most probably considered illegal or something by the "powers that be" and hence removed most likely. I just need my original phone IMEI back, that's all. Thanks a lot!

I think I screwed up and flashed my phone with the wrong image (LTE instead of CDMA) that wiped the factory info and all the attempts I have tried do not do anything to get the phone back. I have a nice tablet that just upgraded to 4.3 via WiFi since it isn't on the Verizon network.

i have gone through your cwm thread. it's suggested taking it to a shop and getting it fixed with spt box or something. unfortunately, i can't do that because nobody in my location has anything even remotely similar to one of those. apart from that, i've done everything i could think of, flashed radios, flashed stock samsung rom, flashed google factory images. what else would you suggest?
i don't have a prior nandroid either
Resolved
Problem solved. Took it to repair shop and got it fixed. Everyone that helped or tried to help, thanks a lot! Mods please close thread, thanks!
I was thinking more along the lines of restoring a backup and grabbing what you need to fix Factory from Radio, which was detailed a couple of times.
Glad you got it fixed, nonetheless. :good:

i didn't have a nandroid, nothing in factory since i had wiped it accidentally via the new cwm's new ""feature". i didn't like twrp until now but i ain't budging from it now that cwm has screwed me up so bad!

the guy connected it to a couple of external devices which in turn were connected to his pc, i guess one of them was something along the lines of an spt box, the other thing looked like a miniature spaceship, so maybe ET was involved in fixing it as well...
Not CWM's fault, though I definitely understand your sentiment. But "with great power.."
I make damn sure I know what I'm pressing Yes on when I'm wiping.

anyways, I was just browsing through my phone with root explorer and with twrp's file manager and surprisingly there's no efs folder there! is that normal?
i've taken a twrp nandroid backup to include efs as well but i'm thinking to take a raw backup as well as described here. i've also copied the /factory and /data/radio folders.
i was wondering whether flashing a stock samsung ROM might result in the creation of the efs folder? on yakju 4.2.2 stock google image right now...
Nah efs is the partition but it's mounted to /factory :good:

That's great thanks!., I'll clean flash 4.3 yakju in a day or two and see if the IMEI sticks after the wipes. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to backup using EFS Commander or the terminal/shell commands (got error both ways) so I'm hoping the TWRP backup (without MD5) and manual file copy should be sufficient insurance...

Hello everyone,
I post here because i have a problem with my find7.

He was bricked but i have found an unbrick tool on >community.oppo.com/en/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=23067&extra=#post-308276OppoForum.
This worked great and my phone boot on ColorOs 1.2.5i.

I have make *#268# and in the engineer mode, calibrations statut, all it's -1.
In nv parameters, just calibration NV Backup file manual check failed. All is succeded.
go back to oppo forums or goolge and look for their unbrick tool. it should be a program with chinese characters. if you know what you are doing then connect wait and reboot. the rom installed should be a stock version of color os. if for any reason you are having issues with storage or connectivity try these steps. try re partitioning the device. if you can not do this try downloading an update 2.x.x ( side load it if you cant access storage or copy and paste to root of phone storage ) when you flash this itll give you the newer recovery with the option to merge the partition or not. at this step i would suggest doing a partition switch so sd card wont be an issue again. now as far as connectivity goes download coloros_modem_2.1.5i.zip you maybe able to find it via crdroid thread. flash via recovery right after rom before gapps, you should be functioning again
granted these steps helped me for my x9070

Hello. I still have the same issue and unfortunately no backup of the NV partition.
I would be so happy if someone can send me a backup of the NV partition.
You can change the IMEI with an HEX-Editor to 999999999 for example before you send me your backup.
I am not interested in using your IMEI. I just want my phone working again. Thank you very much.

Hello,
It seems like from what you're describing, you have corrupted/deleted your phone's efs. Do you have a backup stored somewhere? if you do, restore the EFS partition via TWRP/CWM and you should be good to go. if this happened because you restored a backup, try this link. If you dont, then im sorry to say that there is no way to help you. Dont try to use another person's EFS partition because it is illegal.
Regards

Microphone not functioning properly

Hello everyone
I would like to ask. So i have Mi 6 128GB variant and right now I'm having problem with the (i think) microphone. So the problem is when i place a call, the other side can't hear me, also when i try to record something the voice result will be so small, and i have to speak from a very close distance. And when using ok google i also have to speak from a very close distance. It seems the problem is not in the hardware. I bought it about a month ago, and when i just bought it i tried to flash to unofficial LOS ROM, the first one that appeared is the calling problem. So i tried to flash different kind of custom ROM, mostly LOS (because there are several version from different developer) and AOSP Extended. All is same, the microphone seems not functioning properly. And at one point i try to go back to MIUI 8.2.2.0. At that time i notice the phone displaying the message that the IMEI is lost. So i tried different kind of way to restore the IMEI mostly through flashing qcn. Right now the IMEI is back, but it's not my original IMEI, when i restore my original IMEI, the MEID is different from the original one, because i use qcn fthat i obtained from web, so maybe the MEID from the original qcn still intact. So right now i tried to flash the unedited qcn to see whether the problem is solved. But it's still same.
Any help will be really appreciated
