You have corrupted the data in the efs folder.
Did you back it up did one of the programs you used back the efs up .
First try a factory reset .
Some posts on the topic here .

dear xda members
i own a galaxy tab for six months. the first time i got it, it was locked to Orange (Europe) under froyo 2.2, but i unlocked it to make it work here in Algeria.
sometimes it get locked by it self after a reboot! something i did notice after one month, and then it repeatedly hapen every week or so, then i decided to get stock gingerbread jq1 (i do like custom roms but i prefer using my device with stock system) because i thought it will wipe the system and let no trace of Orange crap, suddenly i was wrong, because it keep showing me Orange in the satut bar (at least one time per day) along with my provider (Djezzy), when it hapen, the phone force close all active applications and i lose signal for a while, until its gone and got back my provider signal.
please help, any suggestion is very welcome, even if it is a custom rom (a stable one)
thanks

You can try Hyperdroid. It has SIM unlock build into the boot up.
It is more stripped down compared to JQ1 or Overcome.

D.O.C is a senior moderator here now, and doesn't have time developing this ROM further but it is stable.
I use his RedPill 2.0.1 kernel before.
Hope it works for you.
There are other ways to customise unlocking into your JQ1 but I have not seen the details on how to do it.

i will try the suggested solution
If I helped you, please press the thanks button

i have fond a temporary solution for my problem, so after changing many times my nv_data.bin, trying to unlock it and get rid of orange who comes every hour or tow, i decided to take another step and i made a backup of my efs before erasing it completely, getting ride of efs let android generate a new efs without any trace of my oem, the thing you lose here is you imei code, because the new efs contains a different imei!
any way, i dont have to worry about orange any more

Revert IMEI

Hello, I don't know whow this happened, but I just pulled my 2X out of my pocket because it got very hot. I noticed that it was stuck on the bootscreen. After I pulled out the battery and rebooted, I was welcomed with a message by Whatsapp telling me that my IMEI has changed.
Now this is funny. I have no idea how this happenend but my IMEI has been changed to my baseband version:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Fortunately I have written down my original IMEI when I got the phone, so I have my own IMEI here. I only need a way to revert it. If someone knows how, please tell me! I have found an answer in this forum which states that it is not possible... Well, it must be if this could happen!

8. Reset
Hope it works
Btw, this took 20 seconds, by typing "restore IMEI o2x" in search bar, so as always: Read, read, read, try, try and then ask. I am constantly amazed how many helpful and skilled people are here.

I appreciate your answer, but I also searched the O2X forums and found that post. That USSD code does not work for me, phone just says it's an invalid USSD code. I think it only works on LG stock firmware. I am using temasek's CM7 build 135.2.

Then backup your Rom, flash stock or rebuild and do process. Then restore. Simple as banana.

Little brother messed up his phone... and I'm too dumb to fix.

Hello new friends.
My little brother and his inventive mind were messing around with his phone and this started to show up:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
(btw, I tried what it says on the screen.. did nothing.. also trying to flash a new rom did nothing)
I know little about Motorola phones and rooting in general... all i can do is "root" samsung with silly Odin software (easymode right?)
I gave the phone to a friend and after some examination he said that somehow my little brother managed to "delete and/or corrupt" the phones main partition. whatever that means... He was unable to do a hard reset because at some point the phone said there was a problem with one of the partitions.
Now.. while I dont know much about android and motorola, im great following directions.
is there a humanly possible way to fix this?
I can get to this menu below, but everything I touch goes back to bootloader message:
Additional info with numbers mumblejumble:
Thanks in advance,
Dan.

as I understand it this is only the bootloader unlocked, the phone works regularly only that at the time the alert you. There are two ways to avoid this annoying message:
1 relock the bootloader
2 use an alternative screen that hides the annoying warning.
before re-locking take a deep DELETE and uses a script to reload a ROM from scratch
Find it all on xda !!!! look!

Question Zenfon 8 and a newbie

I unlocked my new Zenfone8. then I had flashed the new E-OS system. and somehow I put it in my pocket wrong, and now the phone doesn't tell me it's unlocked! and it only goes to the green START screen Can someone help me?
How can I unlock the bootloader again? I would love to be able to bring it back to its original state!

So.. you got a NEW Zenfone 8. Decided to unlock right away, then flash E-OS (never heard of this before), and even put in your pocket wrong. And now you want to unlock it again? And let us not forget you're a newbie.
I'm not trolling but next time always read how to revert back or somekind of backup plan when you do some flashing. You didn't even mentioned any way you tried to get it working again.
Guys pls help this poor guy.

hello.
this e/OS (https://doc.e.foundation/devices) is a siple system but fairly new.
yes, that would have been smart with the backup... So with adb I can't get into the cell phone, I can connect with fastboot. this E/OS only runs when the phone is unlocked.. I previously unlocked it with the original tool from Asus (unlock.apk) But if the cell phone is lying on its side in the suitcase and accidentally presses all 3 buttons at the same time, the cell phone will be locked again! I didn't know that... and can you unlock this phone with fastboot? or with programs completely flash on original? Best Regards!

Hi, I can suggest you try the instructions in this post, the install of /e/OS most likely failed and now it doesnt get past the bootloader. The device is probably fine. https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/full-recover-to-stock-if-things-went-really-bad.4337467/

worked!
but important! You first have to deactivate the digital driver signature in Windows 10!! otherwise driver fragments will be missing when flashing!!
Had to flash twice, and the procedure worked!
many thanks to everyone!
PS: what tool do you use for your backups?

I personally do not store anything really important on my phone, so no backups apart from Google photos and manually uploading my important files.
