We could try to make a kind of black list for the O2X with the freeze problem.
Plz, post your serial number (remove battery and you'll fin it) and tell us if yours freezes.
My one does:
Serial:
103KNPYXXXXX
why ? whats the purpose of such list ?
Firstly I see no reason to have my phones serial no. posted in a public list like this.
Secondly whatever issue you are refering to are not phone/hardware specific thus a serial no. are completely irrelevant
Its an issue caused by software, either something installed by the user or a bug in the LG software - either way the cure is to find and fix the software - not to make a "blacklist of serial no's"
If its a user installed software then the user needs to find it and uninstall, if its a bug in LG software it will propably get fixed with the next LG update.
I spoke with LG Italy. They told me that it could be a stock of failed Mainboards.
If you remember, same thing happened with HTC Desire.
So I m trying to help other people to understand if there is a sort of black and white list.
Moreover I am an hardware producer and in millions of boards, sometimes whe have several hundreds failed because of a failure component.
So it's not so strange.
BTW, your serial number is not your credit card number. Sharing the first 5 or 6 chars cannot put you in any kind of danger

He could try the luck with Bingo
You dont know my creditcard no - could be the same as my phones serial J/K
sure there could be a batch of failed motherboards - however its not very likely, and if it was you are not going to identify it from getting serial no's from a few handfull random users on a messageboard having users from all over the world - you be lucky to even hit 2 users here having phones from the same batch of motherboards and you wont really be able to identify that from the serial no alone.
Furthermore inputs from users are flawed - in that in most situations whatever issues users have are user generated software issues. So even if you do get some saying they have similar problems - theres litle chance its caused by the same problem (hardware or software) or even that its actually the same issue.
Finally what would you do if you get a list of 20-30 serials - hand it over to LG claiming theres some hardware error based on that ? if you are a hardware producer you know that really doesnt make any sence.

What good could he do with it ?? nothing - I might as well post the size of my shoes - its equally irellevant
but if you want examples of what harm it could do:
Then he could be some swindler creating faulse invoices using legit serial no's aqquired here - could be used in insurance fraud and now your phones serial are blacklisted as being stolen with the authorities. Could be used in tax deduction fraud, could be used in fraud when selling second hand phones, could be used to set new serial no's on stolen phones that have their own serials blacklistet.
lots of situations where knowing legit serial no's could be used for the wrong purposes - you just gotta be a litle creative. And it doesnt have to be the poster here doing anything wrong - could be anybody reading this from a random google search.
So no - my serial no are not going to be on any public list here or anywhere else on the internet, but off cource do feel free to post yours if you want
Perhaps you did not notice i covered my last 5 digits.

Hi xda,
i am in a serious problem with this EFS , i was using congition H3 rom and i decided to goto Batista70 FOXHOUND EDITION 2.4. from there my problem started, my gameloft games were not working like 9mm and nova 2, so i had to reflash twice, on the second reflash the games started working but i lost network, my product code, my mac id for wifi and bluetooth, i got the generic IMEI-004999010640000, i was never aware of EFS and its use coz its never mentioned in the ROM sectioned(i think that should be the first thing custom ROM pages should have in big red words that back up ur EFS coz it Important)
Anyways the batista had backed up my EFS but i deleted as i was not aware how important it is-genius me, i dont have any EFS back up with me and i have tried all the forum in xda and on the internet but failed to fix it, I am from INDIA and out of 4 prepaid carrier one is working i dont how but its working with the fake IMEI but the other 3 are getting rejected-no network, i have flashed back to first firmware phone came with i.e-I9100XWKE8, service centre in mumbai are asking for lot of money to repair it in which i can buy another phone, IS THERE A MESSIAH out there who can help me as i have always looked up XDA for solution and has worked for me. This is my sincere request and i am ready to donate both xda and the person who helps me $20 each as i understand its a hard job to do and it require skils. please help me out with this. Thank you
I can't help you (assuming you have tried deleting nv_data.bin & nv_data.bin.md5 and rebooted) but I can tell you why it still works and thats because it's not a fake IMEI but a generic one.

as i have mentioned in my first post that it was working the stock firmware however it stopped working with that. i tried cyanogenmod 7.1 and its works like charm, still the IMEI is generic but i use my phone with hsdpa, wifi and bluetooth, but again im restricted with one sim card, other wont work, can somebody other help me with the EFS. please and thank u in advance
Do a simple search in the sgs2 forum. IMEI as keyword should show you several threads wich possible solutions. Read, try and ask again if nothing helped.
EFS fixed
hi XDA,
I knew there was genius out there who can resolve it and i am really thankful to god that i got in touch with ODIA because of Northern Loop post the ODIA is a Super Dev http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103357. He really fixed it and I did not had any backup, I WILL REPEAT I DID NOT HAD ANY BACK UPS AND EFS WAS MESSED UP. Service centre just sucks as they don't have any knowledge, I have attached the proof that Odia has fixed it and the guy is EXTREMELY PROFESSIONAL in his work. I always believed that the issue can be fixed as there is nothing like cannot be fixed in mobile phone, bricked phones can work again why not corrupt EFS can be fixed?, ODIA proved me right and im sorry for those who dont believe like segunmichaelolu
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1332125, U need to trust developers they go through a lot of hardwork even sometimes working through out the night to find a solution for one of the most complicate EFS files. Thank ODIA and THANKS XDA
P.S-IF U APPRECIATE HARD AND SMART WORK I DON'T THINK ANYONE SHOULD HAVE PROBLEM PAYING SOMEONE WHEN THE ISSUE CAN BE FIXED. THE PERSON HAS NOT LEARNED THE ART FOR FREE OR GOD TAUGHT HIM HOW TO FIX IT
I need help too fixing my EFS
I don't have a EFS backup either, It does not show the IMEI, No service even when a simcard is inserted and indicates unknown Baseband in the phone info section. I'm willing to pay $20 for a foolproof solution that will permanently fix My SGS2 I9100, Restore it's IMEI to the Origianl one and have it working normal again. So if bryanfuryin22 Says Odia performed a genius miracle for him I believe He can do the same for Me
*Fingers Crossed* Odia tell me you can fix my problem?

The chances of Odia seeing this post are pretty much zero, since he has never participated in this thread.
Send him a (polite) PM, and wait patiently for an answer.

Since Odia isn't receiving PMs at the moment, and MIGHT have a notification set to alert him when he is mentioned, I'm posting here instead - similar "lost" IMEI problem on a Captivate (due to rooting sloppily 2 years ago when I was younger and braver), now gun shy about fixing it on my own after reading all of the 9-step guide thread. If Odia sees this and is willing to assist, a PM would be welcome.
I think you'll find Odia hasn't done this sort of thing for a very long time due to being overwhelmed by n00bs who didn't take EFS backups. Take it to a local mobile repair shop now rather than putting yourself through whatever period of hopeful anticipation only to have that hope dashed (I'm just being honest with you here).
Edit - Also, as your device has it's own dedicated fora, you're not even allowed to post here. I'm asking mods to move your post back where it belongs (my point about Odia no longer doing this stands though).

This thread is a year old, i would suggest making a new one or looking for a more resent next time.
Now that being said, you can recover you IMEI by flashing stock kk4 with Odin (which can be found in the stickies). Of you're already on gb or up, use the non-bootloaders version.

Being honest with people is about them having a working phone again in the shortest possible period of time rather than faffing around with snake oil miracle cures & all kinds of ridiculous promises in threads on here which simply don't work.
But eh, if you want to build the OP's hopes up with a bunch of stuff that has no hope of working only to have the realisation that the fix I mentioned in my PP is the only way dawn on the OP in a week/two weeks/whatever & have them without a working phone for that period, knock yourself out.

His (the guy i quoted) issue is very well recoverable and I'm here to help him do so, I'm not sure what your point is. It's not like I'm letting him rot for weeks.. I gave him the solution right away.

PLEASE HELP ME! my phone is "rooted" with 3 third-party apps my BF installed!
I noticed that my nexus 6 was acting funny, and since my boyfriend purchased this phone for me- he set the entire thing up. The day it arrived, he plugged my phone into his laptop and started typing away at what looked like a black screen and a boxy white font with a bunch of rom codes etc(at this point, i was totally clueless and oblivious to what he was doing)...
Then, he would sporadically bring up specific texts that i had sent, and at times would randomly pinpoint specific addresses and times and asked me about them(mind you, they were my friends homes) which left me to wonder "how the hell did he even know about that text or specific location unless my phone is hacked??"
so, i took my phone to a specialist who confirmed that my phone was rooted with a custom ROM along with 3 third-party apps "kernel adiutor", "pure nexus", and "xda labs".
Once i called tech support for my phone, they said they couldn't help me because they're third party apps that are not legal to use in the first place.
long story short, his mom confirmed recently that he in fact has my phone hacked. can somebody please give me insight on the apps he installed and the purpose they serve?? what kind of access/capabilities does he have now that my phone is rooted even if i restore my phone???
Kernel Auditor Xda labs and pure nexus are not phone hacking apps Xda lab is app by xda community and Kernel Auditor is for tweaking the kernel and i think Pure Nexus is a Custom Rom for the Nexus
If you want to get rid of this you can ask service centre to flash Stock Rom of Nexus phone

You have a very *very* serious problem.
As khanboyz007 says, the apps you mention are entirely pukka, totally normal, nothing suspicious.
But...
If you can't trust your boyfriend so much that you have to post for help from anonymous strangers, then your problem is far deeper than your Nexus 6. From the technical side of your description, he's done nothing at all wrong, but from reading between the lines you don't trust him, and *that's* a dealbreaker.
Why are you asking us instead of him? Give him a chance to explain. Maybe there's nothing more sinister than you (clearly without any technical knowledge... sorry...) don't have your phone password-protected and he's just looked at your texts - in itself a breach of trust, but still not justifying posting in a public forum to strangers.

I wouldnt say that at all. If he can tell where she has been and what text she is sending then he installed one of the many monitor apps onto her phone which is illegal.
My advise would be to completely wipe your device. Flash a stock rom and dont let him touch your device.
As for your personal life no one can or has any right to say anything about that. Do what you think is best.
If he knows the locations you've been at its possible he has your google+ share location set where it's shared with him. Or possibly he had set up an email for you on it and is signing into it to track your location. As far as the apps you mentioned they are %100 percent legal, most carrier don't know anything about rooting or custom Roms and will not give you adequate advice. But as they said, you can just flash the stock image, make your own Gmail to sign in or make sure to change your Gmail password. After you do make sure that that you put a password on your device that he doesn't know.
"then he installed one of the many monitor apps onto her phone"
Isn't that what I said...? No trust. This isn't in any way a technical question - it's about their relationship.
And since I've seen your many posts here over the years I know you've got a fair amount of life experience, in which case I can assume that you know of Occam's Razor - the simplest explanation is likely to be the correct one, and the simplest explanation here is not that he's installed a monitoring app but is simply looking at the phone. I stand by my comments.
"no one can or has any right to say anything about that"
Yes, I agree, it would be none of my business - *if* she hadn't asked for my advice (as well as yours).
If she has so little trust in her partner, and has asked for advice (technical or otherwise), then the answer has to be "Look very carefully at your relationship".
(P.S. To avoid the inevitable "sexist" comments, yes, I've assumed it's a female poster, but I'm aware that there are alternatives).
To be honest I think it might be a moot point as he is most likely part of this forum and has seen this post.
Then he's got the message...
Or this is just a prank. Like I'm getting private messages from people who haven't even posted yet to fix their phones.

Yes, that same thought had occurred to me. I give the benefit of the doubt unless there's a clear sign that it's a joke, and this one does come close to the edge...
A lot of effort for a not-funny joke though. It would be good if the OP provides some feedback - I do get very fed up with people asking for advice, which is given maybe by half a dozen people who have taken the time and trouble to provide it, only for the OP to vanish into the ether without so much as a "thank you" button press.
Step one, flash the phone back to stock using the links provided eariler posts.
Step two, dump the loser - he is too controlling, and this will never change...
Now that the personal advice has been given, let's bring this thread back to troubleshooting device issues, not relationship issues . Thanks for your cooperation.

Your friend has set up your phone the same way as he should do for himself.
There nothing wrong with rooting and the apps you mentioned.
My idea is that ask him very friendly to flash the latest official stock Rom.
Tell him that you prefer the official rom of Google.
Because you want official support when there is something wrong. And you don't need root acces because you only use 'normal' apps.
As everything there are disadvantages.
A rooted phone allows you to install layers. That makes it possible to choose dark themes. And that's important when you need a better battery life.
I Bet he's using Cerberus. Go into your settings>apps, select to include system apps. You'll be looking for a app name: system framework. If you see this He is tracking you using Ceberus, . This app/service is pretty awesome. I was able to track my phone down, see the texts sent, turn the mic on and listen to where my phone was at. .
Like everyone said flash a new rom. clean slate. Then dump dude, there should be no need for that crap.

to me, a "specialist", it sounds like he did you a favor, by rooting your device, and adding apps that you will need to control your own phone. your "own" i say because otherwise you are just using someone elses device, that you happened to pay for with your money. so, instead of posting a pissy thread, id do a little more research on how to control your own phone, and then tell him thank you.
oh, btw, just because the apps arent from the play store, it does not make them illegal to use, at all. you can use whatever app you want, from wherever you want, LEGALLY.
I'm coming round to istperson's point of view - this thread is beginning to look more and more like an elaborate pointless hoax, and not a very funny one.
There are far too many of these threads where people ask a question and then disappear without the courtesy of a sign-off or even a "thank you". Very discouraging, and makes me less keen on spending my time here trying to help timewasting ingrates...
I'm gonna close this thread for now. If the OP has anything else to add they can contact me again to reopen it.
Not all apps are legal. It really depends on where you are living. As an example. Things like keyloggers, call recorders (depending on local laws) screen recorders and things of this nature are completely legal in some countries like China, while being completely illegal in other places in the world.
Also installing tracking software of any kind on someone's device is also illegal.
We have to remember that many people search for help on something, reg to the forum to get the answer and dont come back until they have another issue. This is becoming far more common as of late.
Hello this is my first post, I need advice regarding IMEI fix for my unlocked Ls991,
I've received it as a gift for Christmas and I really like this device, it's not blacklisted or stolen, but the problem is that I live in Syria where the regime and carrier networks will block the phone from connecting to network unless I play an unreasonably high fee just to allow my net phone to work on Syrian network which is very unfair.
I've paid the fee for my old phone and I'm not wiiling to pay it again every time I get a new phone, I wish If I could just change IMEI of my new phone and put my old phone's IMEI instead so they can't find out that I got a new device.
As an Android enthusiast I've read many articles, but I'm still not very sure I can make this change cause I'm afraid I may brick my new phone, a comprehensive guide from the trusted xda devs will help me make this jump.
I think the only possible way to do it is to flash efs partition - correct me if I'm wrong -
Xposed framework will only mask IMEI and the carrier will still find the hard-coded one.
And what about unlock status, I think it's encoded in efs as well,
Thnx everybody for your contribution
Have a great day

so of coarse this is a touchy subject what firmware are u on is it zv6 through zva if so root it use xposed and there a module called imei changer can spoof the imei to whatever u want i use it and most online services that can do imei detection register my spoofed imei most of the time i did it with my g4 on net 10 not always a sure fire but is a possibility.
if u do get it changed to the other device change the other device to this one or destroy it
so there is no confusion in the future.
i did my g3 and forgot to change it back one time and caused a headache
other than u need the msl code from sprint and use cdma workshop to change it accordingly
the unlock on sprint lgs usually is in the carrier folder

also Welcome to xda devs hope you find as much useful info here as ever needed.
u ended up in the worst forums u could development and stuff are complet;y dead on the ls991
i almost appear to be the last g4 survivor on zv6 rooted.
if there is anything i can help with feel free to ask
the only dumb ?s are the ones not asked
My girlfriend forgot the pattern to her note 8. I had bought it for her barely two days before this. She's not at all tech savvy. Thinking she would fix before i found out, (I may occasionally poke fun at her forgetfulness), she googled the problem and was advised to do a factory reset. After the reset of course the frp kicked in. It would be a cake walk except her fogetfullness also kicked in. We've practically begged google to grant her access to her account again to no avail.
I've been working on bypassing it. I've done this for her a couple times in the past actually with other types of phones with success. You all are probably aware Samsung is a whole different ballgame. After a week this is what I know, or at least what I'm fairly sure is accurate from all the reading I've done.
1. The firmware is N950U1UES8DTF2.
2. I need usb debugging enabled to have a hope.
3. There currently is no combo file for this bootloader version.
4. There may be an option with an eng boot file flashed onto the phone?
Anyone know more about this and perhaps where I could download it or even how to make one. I've tried a couple different softwares that claim entering the ap from stock firmware will create the adb enable file. The two i tried this with however, did nothing when i flashed the resulting file with odin.
I'll take any advice anyone has. Maybe there's another route to enable usb debugging that I haven't explored? Hopefully there's something out there as I'm not a man of great means and two hundred and fifty is a great lot to lose on a phone.
Thanks in advance.
Pattern is easy removed with wipe data in stock recovery

My girlfriend forgot the pattern to her note 8. I had bought it for her barely two days before this. She's not at all tech savvy. Thinking she would fix before i found out, (I may occasionally poke fun at her forgetfulness), she googled the problem and was advised to do a factory reset. After the reset of course the frp kicked in. It would be a cake walk except her fogetfullness also kicked in. We've practically begged google to grant her access to her account again to no avail.
I've been working on bypassing it. I've done this for her a couple times in the past actually with other types of phones with success. You all are probably aware Samsung is a whole different ballgame. After a week this is what I know, or at least what I'm fairly sure is accurate from all the reading I've done.
1. The firmware is N950U1UES8DTF2.
2. I need usb debugging enabled to have a hope.
3. There currently is no combo file for this bootloader version.

Unfortunately you're going to have to figure this out for yourself because we do not help people and guide them on how to defeat the FRP and other protections.. You're basically saying she forgot her pattern and then after factory resetting it you're saying she forgot her password to?! That just doesn't sound right and there's a reason why Google refused to help you.. If it really is your phone you can take it to your cellphone carrier or Samsung and they'll fix it.

And figure it out I shall. For your information there are people with a tendency to forget quite a bit. Its hard for her but she makes up for anything she lacks not being a judgemental, small minded ass. Maybe try applying some common sense next time you're plotting out a withering retort genius. Its a carrier unlocked, as some of the more knowledgeable members can most likely glean from the firmware. Bought from ebay to use with her service. What do carriers say when you ask for their support with a handset not purchased from them and therefore not covered under warranty by their company? Yeah. And I guess youve never forgotten a google password and had to deal with their **** or you would have hesitated before letting that drivel roll from your tongue. I lost an email address there permanently once that was quite clearly 'mine'. They just wouldnt allow me access again because i forgot to change my recovery number when I changed my phone carrier.
Now despite your quite clear insinuations the phone is most definitely mine. The situation is just as described. And I guess what I really should have asked for is a question and answer type group comprised of individuals intelligent enough to know that in the case where frp keeps someone from using their own property on account of the fading memory of a loved a one, there must exist a way to continue using said property.
I hope you aren't representative of all your peers that are members here. I hope children make less assumptions in their judgement of others.

Let's see if anyone helps you then! With your attitude and name calling I can see I made the right choice and everyone else is going to see your attitude too and they're not going to want to help you. Being a little 6 year old name caller and crybaby isn't going to persuade anyone to help you. If you're too dim to understand that the FRP is there to protect stolen phones, and you're too dim to see that it seems suspicious when you say she forgot the pattern and then forgot the password right afterwards that's your problem!

As Stated before we will not help you to bypass the FRP Protection!
There is no way to prove what you say is the truth or total LIE!
You are the one that needs common sense! Ask yourself this, if my phone was stolen would you want someone to come to site like xda and ask for a work around FRP on your phone without giving proof and giving some sob story?
Wow! 2 posts and hes already bold enough to lash out. Sounds like a little spoiled petulant kid. Take your attitude elsewhere little child....
