Wait wait wait...

I accidentally restored the EFS partition from one Nexus 5 to another and ended up with an IMEI of all zeros. It can happen. I was able to repair it with Qualcomm software, but the phone still doesn't see the network. Possibly an antenna issue...
Anyway, it can definitely happen. Also, it is illegal to change your IMEI (in the US at least). I would think it's OK to repair one however. I think the OP should specify that this method should only be used to restore an IMEI to the numbers listed on the device. These can usually be found inside the back cover and on the SIM tray. Check documentation for your model.
Help Needed !! IMEI Fix for Android One not working for me...
I was using CM11 sprout earlier and tried moving back to Stock. I lost my IMEI during this time. I have moved to stock kitkat by doing scatter loading of stock firmware. I have rooted my Android one with CWM recovery. I have used the above tools and generated the MTB_001 and created a zip and installed it with recovery. But, still i have my IMEI as invalid. I even tried replacing the MTB_001 file manually using ES_File explorer and giving permissions 777. Still no luck.
Can someone help me out on how to load proper IMEI as am completely blocked :crying::crying::crying::crying:
Thanks in Advance.
Great Guide! Liked it..Step by Step guide!
But i dont understand why people flash so much..where there is Official Lollipop & CM12 Available for us! Flash Freaking People! :/
You Should Tick All W-R-T All The 9 Then Only It Will Work & Dont Forget To Reboot

sorry, but i couldn't backup the 5.1 stock nvram but i will send you nvram.img from stock kitkat ROM. Flash and redo the procedure from scratch...and tell your device model also..
First point to note is that only full formatting makes the device lose IMEI,not normal data,system,cache formatting which is required for installing custom roms.When your partition table is messed up you get lots of errors when trying to wipe or mount any partition from custom recoveries,thus leaving you with only option to format before flashing stock rom through sp flash tools.It is after this flash that nvram loses your unique IMEI number.In my case I had backed up my stock rom through cwm recovery,now to restore my IMEI, I just extract the contents of /data/nvram/.....NVD_IMEI from my backup( three files in total) and push it to my to the same directory using adb push command,and it works for me.There is no need to push three cos only one file is relevant .But this is only temporary solution,cos after every reset you will lose your IMEI. It is better to backup the nvram partiton using dd command so that it could be flashed later,which would persist through installs.

My EFS partition was corrupted after an EFS restore from TWRP (Check post #2 for link to explanation).
I was in panic mode when the super helpful folks over at #twrp sorted me out with this solution (thank you so much @jcadduono). Thought I would share it so it could possibly help someone else.
This has worked on my OnePlus 3, but it might even work on other devices.
Do this AT YOUR OWN RISK. I am not responsible for your device.
Boot into TWRP (Poweroff, then power on using Vol Down + Power Button)
Go to Advanced > Terminal
Type in the following commands:
Code:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/modemst1
Code:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/modemst2
Reboot
Alternatively, you could also do this from your computer over adb with the following commands:
Code:
adb shell 'dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/modemst1'
Code:
adb shell 'dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/modemst2'
Alternatively, you could try this [Though I haven't tested this myself]:
Make sure you have fast boot and drivers (for info look here)
Boot into fastboot (Poweroff, then power on using Vol Up + Power Button)
Type in the following commands into terminal:
Code:
fastboot erase modemst1
Code:
fastboot erase modemst2
Reboot
Good luck and I hope this helps!
PS: It is best to backup your EFS before something like this happens.
Take 5 minutes out of your day to do this. You can find a tool to do this here, or do it yourself by following the instructions here.
I'm just going to go ahead and link here for an explanation:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=68500121&postcount=64
BTW: Is this issue still present on OnePlus 3 official TWRP? If so we can recompile it, we *should* have all the bugs fixed in android-6.0 latest branch right now. Currently main development is happening on android-7.0 branch of omnirom/android_bootable_recovery (TWRP) but we've backported bug fixes to android-6.0 only and it's probably a good idea for developers to use that as a "stable" branch for now.

So, I'm not sure what version of TWRP I used to backup, but whatever it was, I only had a single efs backup (efs1.emmc.win). efs2.emmc.win was not present at all. I am guessing during restore, this is what must have caused the problem. I am not sure if TWRP should be checking for sub partitions before restore, but it definitely didn't throw any errors. Only if I had md5 check enabled did it complain that the md5 did not match '' (empty string), which is when I realized what had happened.

Yeah the adb backup patch went in and broke restore and backup of subpartitions, backup was fixed not much later so you must have had a twrp build from just after the adb backup patch (which broke stuff), it wasn't for a few weeks until the restore issue was noticed, where it restored 1st partition in the backup to all subpartitions of it. Those are all fixed now but there could still be builds out there with any or all of those issues.
Reason it wasn't so noticed was not many devices with multiple subpartitions attached to one partition and not many people backing up and restoring efs. (which is often subpartitioned in twrp)
3rd way worked for me. thx

Yes, you are erasing that partition, which the modem then rebuilds, as mentioned in the link in post #2

This worked successfully on my Mi 5. So basically I restored a backup with TWRP 3.0.2-2 and it messed up my modem, lost IMEI etc.
I followed the steps in TWRP itself > Terminal and typed the codes. Rebooted and worked.
Thank you so much for putting up the guide. I though I'd be buying an iPhone 7+ or LGV20 but because this fixed my phone, you saved me a lot of money.

"by-name" here means?
I didn't have wi-fi unusable or anything on my OP3, but I was only getting signal for emergency calls before trying a series of things including this. This happened after flashing open beta 9 from an earlier community build. First let me just say in my case in TWRP I wiped then changed /data partition to f2fs and clean flashed the beta as usual along with superSU. Then started my phone and realized I was only able to make emergency calls.
So I tried playing in Settings > Sim & Network > SIM 1 & tried resetting network operators & finding automatically. That may have helped.. but I didn't see any improvement so I removed my sim, reinserted & restarted. It didn't seem to be fixed by then so I tried the 3 methods OP posted. Only#1 worked in my case, but data appears to be working normally now. Whether it was the last thing I tried or some combination, IDK.
Just wanted to write all this out in case anyone is still having issues after following OP's instructions.
Thanks!
Used the dd commands in both adb shell and twrp terminal and get "dd: /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/modemst1: No space left on device". Also tried the fastboo0t commands and got "FAILED (remote: Partition flashing is not allowed)" Any ideas?
Worked like a charm
Thank you so much! you just saved my new Mi5 prime which i messed up by trying to unlock more LTE bands.

Great explanation! My phone was stuck in a soft-brick mode yesterday. Followed the mega unbrick guide and got it working again, albeit being reverted to OOS 3.1.2. The cellular network is fine (I can make and receive calls, and mobile data is working), although WiFi and Bluetooth don't work. I tried rebooting into fastboot and erasing the two

Any reason as to why this is happening?

Lost both sim function and wifi when using ROM ressuruction remix... { Thing is battey drained out completely and when i recharged it back , no sim card were detected...only wifi was working } .
Then i installed stock rom but same issue, moreover in stock rom wifi is also not working { but only wifi works when i install nougat based rom } ... I tried lots of tips and tricks found over forum but no help.
I tried restoring qcn file by editing it with my own imei but qpst says error.

This works
Install the Rom S2_X520-CN-FN-IEXCNFN5902303111S-5.9.023S
... I have the x527 version ... it works with this version .... then flash a rom you like
https://devs-lab.com/download-letv-o...stock-rom.html (Le 2 (Qualcomm) Stock ROM)
i did that too...
i also tried restoring imei qcn file...but it says model mismatch....(i have x526 ver and i used same ver qcn)
Also i noticed my phone shows as x520 while in twrp recovery mode in pc..... (but phone info and pc details reads x526 while device is 0N )
Are all device shown x520 in twrp recovery ??.....and yes i use latest ver twrp.

Hmm okay, for me it works. Try to make a clean install of the stock 19s rom and reboot your phone. If you have the same issue, then try again my instruction. Normally it should work.

Follows these steps in this exact order, dont skip any even if you tried something similar. Especially in step 19. you must erase the blocks in the stated order.
1. root your rom
2. enable usb debugging
3. install minimal adb on your computer, goto the folder you installed it in, hold shift then right click, select open command prompt here, connect phone to pc.
4. in command window, enter the following ( each line followed by pressing enter)
5. adb shell
6. su
7. grant su request on phone screen
7b. command prompt should look similar to "[email protected]_s2_na:/ #" without the quotes depending on the version of your phone.
8. on command prompt type
9. ls -al /dev/block/platform/soc.0/7824900.sdhci/by-name/
10. this lists out all your phones partitions ( not really necessary if you are using an le 2 but it's a good practice to confirm for the following steps)
11. confirm the following entries appear in the list
11a. fsg -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p18
11b. modemst1 -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p13
11c. modemst2 -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p14
11d. these three entries are where the phone stores the imei, wifi mac address, and Bluetooth address.
12a. if they don't then... if you are technical enough you cant edit this guide to suit your needs else STOP!!!
12b. if they do then you are all good. continue
13. on the command prompt enter
13a. dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 of=/sdcard/fsg.bin
13b. dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p13 of=/sdcard/modemst1.bin
13c. dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p14 of=/sdcard/modemst2.bin
14. this will backup the partitions and create 3 files on your sdcard 'fsg.bin' 'modemst1.bin' and 'modemst2.bin'
15. copy these to a safe place on your computer
16. this part restores your backup, on the command prompt enter
16a. dd if=/sdcard/fsg.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
16b. dd if=/sdcard/modemst1.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p13
16c. dd if=/sdcard/modemst2.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p14
16d. reboot
17. after your phone reboots repeat steps 5 & 6
18. cross fingers
19. the next step will zero out (erase) the partitions so your phone can hopefully recreate them with the correct data
19. in the command prompt enter the following in this exact order
19a. dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
19b. dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p14
19c. dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p13
20. without rebooting your phone try to check the imei by dialing *#06#
If this doesn't work you can try qcn restore with qpst, but note that in order to restore a qcn backup you MUST first zero out fsg, modemst1/2
Side note, you might be able to make your wifi work in stock by flashing overload2.3 miui kernel, I never figured out why this is.
Also with a root explorer check /persist folder for the following files in the pics
i did as you said..... i checked in root explorer for the following files but i could only find the files from pic 1 .......
i tried restoring .qcn file but it says received invalid command from phone..
yes i wiped .fsg first and connected phone in 901D port ...

brother is your phone repaired, i have same issue, please help me
Hello,
I've rooted my pixel 5 and it was running without any issues. But I wanted to return back to stock. So installed the factory image from google and once booted up, I lost wifi and network completely. When I check the about phone in settings, wifi mac address shows as "unavailable" also in the imei number, I dont see my imei number, its just some default value starting with 0044991..
When I check the barcode in fastboot mode, it shows the correct imei etc.
Anyone has any suggestion on how to solve this?
Thanks in advance

Did you use the right build for the right carrier? How did you flash it, did you sideload it via adb sideload xxx.zip? If not, try that as a next step.
Yes I had checked and its correct, I've used the RQ1A.201205.011 (the one for all carriers except AT&T and Verizon). I've also tried the OTA sideload method, it also didnt work out.
I already have a QCN backup which was taken with the method linked in the below. But the same method also no longer work now, the command diag_mdlog no longer hangs, it just continues to work in an endless loop, when I cancel, I can see the device in QPST but the port constantly drops and reconnects, so I cannot restore it (even if I could, not sure if it will fix)

I just tried to extract below partitions to have a look and seems like the fsg partition is empty which seems weird, the image file is completely filled with zeros, do you or any one has the unlocked version that can run the last command below and send me the fsg partition image?
dd if=/dev/block/platform/soc/1d84000.ufshc/by-name/modemst1 of=/sdcard/modemst1
dd if=/dev/block/platform/soc/1d84000.ufshc/by-name/modemst2 of=/sdcard/modemst2
dd if=/dev/block/platform/soc/1d84000.ufshc/by-name/fsg of=/sdcard/fsg
In below link, it mentions that fsg is a backup of modemst1. So what if I overwrite fsg (which is already filled with zeros as mentioned in above post) with the modemst1 image I have which already have data in it?

and one more question, I tried to erase the modemst1 and modemst2 as suggested in below link via ADB, it had no effect. So I erased them again and right after I erased have taken a backup to see if its all zeros in both partitions but no, they both has still data inside.
I'm trying to erase via fastboot but that also gives error and doesnt allow. Any idea why this might be?

fastboot erase modemst1

How to Fix Empty IMEI, Corrupted EFS, No SIM, Unknown Baseband and WiFi/Bluetooth issues after restoring a TWRP Backup
While flashing things with TWRP is fun and games, it can sometimes also lead to serious issues on your device. If proper care is not taken or if the installed TWRP recovery on your device has bugs/…
nerdschalk.com
It sounds like there may be something wrong with the baseband; try reflashing the baseband image.
If that doesn't work, I would recommend a complete factory reflash. Use the Android Flash Tool, force flash all partitions and wipe data. You'll have to start over, but at least it should get the device working.
Hi there
Thanks to all other guys here who have made helpful development to tame this beautiful =)
To crossflash models other than LG G8 please read post 3.
Before asking any question please read the troubleshooting section at the bottom of the page.
If you still need some specific help I would appreciate if you bring it up just in the thread instead of sending direct messages.
LG has made things difficult in flashing custom and even stock roms by this new OPID thing! It prevents us from crossflashing but we have been able to use TWRP and change the system and some other partitions to have a different rom. We had to make some changes into OP partition using HxD editor.
But now, through this tutorial, we're able to flash any rom without the need to change OPID in OP partition. Also, there is no need to root or unlock boot-loader.
I was successful to do this on some G8 (LMG820UM) but I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY HARM TO YOUR PHONE!
By continuing to read the following instructions you are actually accepting the risk.
IMPORTANT!
first, MAKE A FULL BACKUP OF ALL PARTITIONS; and I mean it!!!
at least, for your sake, make a backup of "modemst1, modemst2, fsg, fsc, ftm" partitions, for emergency.
Requirements
QPST and Qualcomm USB Driver (get)
LGE SM8150 Firehose (get)
LGUP 1.16.0.3 (get)
LGUP_Common.dll (get)
UI_Config.lgl (get)
LG Mobile Driver 4.4.2 (get)
Preparation
1. Install QPST and Qualcomm USB Driver.
2. Install LGUP.
3. Find the folder named "model" in the installation directory of LGUP, then Create a folder named "common" in the "model" folder.
4. Move "LGUP_Common.dll" and "UI_Config.lgl" into "common" folder. Change the attribute of "UI_Config.lgl" to read only.
5. Install LG Mobile Driver 4.4.2.
Steps
A)
1. Open QFIL.
2. Change "Storage Type" to UFS.
3. Select "Flat Build".
4. Browse for "LGE SM8150 Firehose" and pick it.
5. Now, connect the phone to PC and boot into EDL mode.
6. Open "Select Port" and select the phone, press OK.
7. In "Tools" open the "Partition Manager".
B)
!!!BE CAREFUL TO DO EXACTLY AS THE INSTRUCTIONS SAY OR YOU WILL BRICK THE PHONE!!!
1. Make a backup of and erase these 7 partitions: FTM, Modem_A, Modem_B, SID_A, SID_B, OP_A, OP_B.
1.1. You have to left-click on a partition then right-click on it and select "Manage Partition Data".
1.2. In the pop-up window, you have 4 choices: I. Erase (to erase data on the partition), II. Read Data (to dump or back up the partition), III. Load Image (to restore the partition), IV. Close (to close the window).
1.3. First dump/back up the partition by choosing "Read Data" then Erase it.
2. Close the "Partition Manager" window.
3. Wait for 5 seconds then press Vol- and Power until it restarts.
3.1. Immediately after rebooting, Release the Vol- and Power buttons and press Vol+ to get into Download Mode.
Note: Do not let the phone to begin to boot! If it begins to boot, it may regenerate the SID and FTM partitions data and so you need to redo the whole step B.
C)
1. Open LGUP.
2. Pick your favorite KDZ.
3. Select "PARTITION DL".
4. Press Start. And a pop-up window will appear. In this window you can select which partitions to be flashed.
5. Here, uncheck these partitions: SID_A and SID_B. It will make it able to bypass the OPID Mismatched Error.
6. If you are in Sprint or other platforms you will get the message whether to change the model or not. Of course you know what to do =)
after completing the process it will boot up in some minutes and before starting the customization it will do one restart. just be patient.
ERRORS, QUESTIONS, TROUBLESHOOTING
1. Can I crossflash V50, V60, G8X or other LG devices using this method?
I did it on V50. Maybe it'll work on your devices maybe won't. There's one way to find out; make backup and give it a try.
2. SN is gone, zero, etc.
Restore your original FTM.
3. I can't get into recovery.
Restore the original FTM.
4. I got NT-Code error.
It's been discussed many times in the thread and some solutions have been presented (such as this one, thanks to @animo214 and this, thanks to @kt-Froggy as well as this one, thanks to @StvOchi ). However, you can ignore it if the phone got network.
Note: You need to disable verity on the phone in advance otherwise changes in cust_path_mapping.cfg won't be saved.
5. IMEI is lost, zero, null etc.
Restore LUN5 partitions. If you have no backup it should be repaired using Octopus box. Go to 16.
6. I got "permanently locked" error.
This is because of IMPL lock and you have to restore LUN5 partitions. In case of having no backup you should use Octopus box.
7. All partitions are deleted accidentally.
Follow this instructions.
8. I need to get into PDM mode.
Unzip and restore the attached PDM to FTM partition. Remember, you need to restore your FTM to get into OS.
9. Can I use another phone's LUN5 backup?
NO.
10. Can I use another phone's FTM backup?
Yes. All partitions can be restored from another phone's backup except LUN5 partitions.
11. My phone is stuck in boot-loop.
Restore the original FTM and if it doesn't help redo the whole crossflash process and use a different KDZ this time.
12. Which KDZ is the best (for any matter of use)?
I do not know.
13. Can I crossflash from any source variant to Korean variant or vice versa?
Yes it is possible but you may get error on opening stock camera application because of hardware differences. There are some methods to solve the issue which you can search and find them.
14. Can I downgrade using this method?
Yes.
15. I erased partitions (ftm, op_a, op_b, modem_a, modem_b, sid_a, sid_b) but it still does not let me to crossflash.
Redo the whole process and this time make backup of and erase these partitions too, on both sides A and B: vendor, product, system, boot and userdata. Do not make backup of userdata partition.
16. How can I write IMEI?
A) Dump modem_a and create a copy of it. Then open it in UltraISO and remove IMEIPROT files from image folder. Save and restore it in place of modem_a and modem_b partitions.
B) Make backup of FTM and then flash or restore the PDM file (attached) into your ftm partition. Restart the phone; you'll get into PDM mode.
C) Open Tutty (attached). Select "Serial" in protocol and the proper port of your phone's modem driver. Click open. To test if you have selected the proper port number type "at" and hit enter it should respond"ok". Type the code at%imei=# (replace # with your IMEI) and hit enter. It doesn't matter you get "error" or "ok" after that, just check if IMEI is written via this code at%imei=?. If IMEI is written so you'll have the right MEID and ESN too.
D) Restore the original ftm and modem_a in place of modem_a and modem_b. Restart the phone.
I've already tested this method on V30, V50 and G8. Remember, if the phone has IMPL lock it'll throw "perm. locked" error even if you have written the IMEI.
17. I have lost GPT files of my LG G8, G8X, G8S, V50, etc. and Qfil partition manager does not show anything in the list.
You need to flash GPT files to your device with fh_loader (see this, part C). For that matter use KDZ_Tools to Extract DZ from a KDZ of your device. Then extract the DZ using -c at the end of extracting command. For example: unkdz -f FILE_NAME.kdz -c. It will extract all files besides all GPTs.
18. Which are the LUN5 partitions?
SM8150 has 7 physical partitions known as LUNs which are numbered from 0 to 6. Each LUN is split into several partitions. In Qfil Partition Manager you can see all partitions except those of LUN3 and LUN6 which are hidden. The number of LUNs are shown under the first column named LUN. Therefore, all partitions in front of number 5 are LUN5 partitions.
Some pictures of flashing my LMG820UM, unlocked from Sprint, into OPEN_CA 20j. In normal mode you cannot flash SPR_US to OPEN_CA which is shown in the pictures. But using this thread instruction it allows to flash, even it asks to change the model from SPR_US to OPEN_CA
Until performing the instructions, it shows the "id: 2(SPR_US)" on the Download Mode screen, but after that it cannot recognize the phone model id and shows "id: 0()"
Have fun ^_^
LG K31 Crossflashing:
To crossflash LG K31 go to this guide. Thanks to @Wish39.
LG Stylo 6 Crossflashing:
To crossflash LG Stylo 6 using LG K71 Android 12 firmware see this. Thanks to @Wish39.
LG V50 Crossflashing:
I had two LG V50 (LMV450) to which I flashed Korean Andorid 12 using the method mentioned in the first post. I cannot guarantee that it will work on every V50. After corssflashing I found out that one of them had the problem of draining battery due to not getting into deep sleep mode. To overcome the issue, I reflashed it via "Chip Erase" this time, and then again reflashed it but in the same way mentioned for crossflashing in the first post. Of course, I had created backup and at the end I restored LUN5 partitions.
Hey nice! It's great to have options. I'm currently using us Open OP on my Sprint device (of course totc changed). It's working fine and not sure of any reason to change.
Although, if we do get a11 firmware available, that will change things for sure.
Thanks, nice work!

Just did this successfully, thanks OP. If yer only getting partial options on lgup, remember from the OP, you HAVE to change the UI file to be READ ONLY (do it in properties).
I didn't get the 'change model' pop up, but still worked, although device is still seen as 'um' not 'qm'. My serial # is missing (that's a simple edit in ftm), but the imei is there.
Definitely worked though, now have us op with april security patch.
Will take a few mins to get a root explorer to see what totc says... that should be interesting

Actually it doesn't change OPID. By not flashing SID partitions we can bypass checking OPID and hence the error.
I checked it now it was OPEN_CA.

If SID partitions are flashed then yes it will throw OPID Mismatched Error. This is why we suggest using "Partition DL" flashing method, unchecking SID partitions.

yes but it has to generate new one with proper OPID no? when you load download mode now, does it still says id: 0? i doubt that

That's right it generates the original OPID in download mode.
It is probable that some or all data related to OPID are stored in Modemsts partitions to which the SID partition bridges the OPID check function, in boot process. All that we do is to destroy the bridge.
