[Q] p999 to p990

my phone which was a p999 completely bricked and I used the Nvflash to restore it, I didn't know that my phone was a p999. I thought it was a p990 because wind advertises it as it is a p990. So I Nvflashed the phone to a p990 and now I have no connection to the network and many apps don't even work properly. Is there anyway to revert back to p999?

If it was completely bricked, then there would have been no chance of reviving it. Just wondering.

If it is indeed a p999 model, why don't you just flash a ROM made for the G2x?

JUST did that and it worked like a charm, I can't believe my service is also up and running. I live in Canada (Toronto), so anyone that lives here use the link below and everything will be alright

Wind Mobile does not advertise it as a P990. They advertise it as an LG 2X, which it is. Only T-Mobile USA is legally allowed to use the "G2X" name. The LG 2X comes in three hardware version, P990, P999 and SU660. You need to make sure which hardware version you have before you flash any rom. Currently there is no way to fix what you did. You have corrupted the baseband code with the P990 baseband code which uses an Infineon baseband chip and is not compatible with the Qualcomm baseband chip in the P999. At this time nobody has come up with a way to flash the correct baseband to the device. The only thing you can try is to find the thread about using KDZ method to reflash the phone. If you are lucky that might restore everythng including your baseband. You need to search the forums for this method.

If you dump nvram from one phone and flash it to another, you will most likely then need to do an IMEI repair, because I believe that is where the IMEI is stored along with the network lock/unlock status.
His problem though is that he flashed the wrong baseband to the phone and changed the partitioning. You will need to restore the P999 parition structure and somehow flash the correct baseband to the phone, which nobody has succeeded in doing yet.

i try to find jtag conector but is very small and can't find one to place easy.
only solution is to solder wires. is not first one i connect to jtag. the last one was p500 and this one have another type conector for jtag. for another phones have jig testpoint but for lg can't find.

Samsung Galaxy S phones are the same way. Most variants don't have a jtag header and have very small solder pads. You need a very skilled hand to solder to them.

With all due respect, your request makes no sense. Devices have either GSM radios (which include IMEI numbers) or CDMA radios (which include MEID numbers). What does your device have?
There is no way to wipe this number by flashing the device, period. What is it that you want to accomplish/get?

Which software you used to flash your phone?
If you used LGNPST, search for any .nv files
else
you'll have to approach any LG Service Center.
Please Note that It is not possible to edit/change from Others NVs.

I may be talking out my a$$ but it sounds like you need to reprogram/activate the phone. Have you tried dialing that?

[Q] IMEI=0 Mobile Network not working after flashing, missing EFS directory

I just flashed to stock firmware, because my cell phone wasn't updating to KitKat because of root.
But after flashing, my IMEI is now set to 0.
I just searched on the internet and many websites says that the EFS directory is where your IMEI number is stored.
But is missing, I tried to reflash and nothing hapenned. I didn't make backup.
I unlocked the bootloader, so I think I lost the warranty, and Motorola won't repair my cell phone.
Bought my cell phone from Brazil dual chip version.
Is there any solution? Anybody help me?

There is not efs directory on motorola.

Efs is a Samsung thing.

Thanks for letting me know, do you know one method to try to restore my original IMEI?
I tried many methods and got no results.

All I've read about this is people flashing the wrong radios. That's all I can say about it.
Sent from my Moto X cellular telephone...

Yes, I think I did something I shoudn't when flashing.
I think I just lost my Moto G.
But first, I will send to Motorola and I hope they accept to fix it.
Otherwise I'll have to buy a new one.

I guess you'll have to flash your Moto G all over from the bootloader ... check this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2623587

Didn't work,
Doesn't update when I try to manually install the Riffbox driver.

Good news.
I sent my Moto G to Motorola and according to their website, the service order, seems that they will repair it.
Bootloader was unlocked, and according to the website, it voids warranty.
Repair situation: Being repaired
Estimated repair date: 08 March 2014
I'm from Brazil, I don't know if other countries would repair it too.

For some devices are easier to change IMEI number.

[Q] IMEI corrrupted

Bought a new S6 from Ebay that had been opened up to all networks. Discovered it was rooted which I didn't want so I flashed it with a stock Vodafone ROM. The phone worked fine for about 10 days then all of a sudden I got the message 'not registered on network' when I try to make call. It turns out that the IMEI number has changed. Does anyone know whether this type of problem can be sorted out?

Flash back to stock via odin.

IMEI Corrupted
I'm going to use a Vodafone ROM as this phone was originally on Vodafone before the seller had it opened up to all networks. THE ROM is G920FXXU1AOCZ_G920FVFG1AOC4_G920FXXU1AOCW_HOME.tar.md5. Does this sound like the right one? Sorry for all the questions - I'm new to this. The other thing worth mentioning is the IMEI at the moment is 350000000000006. Where could this have come from? Any ideas? It's weird because the original IMEI was in tact for about 10 days before it changed to the one above. Any help at all would be appreciated

Corrupt imei is known issue when flashing and rooted. That's why firdt thing you do when rooting, is you backup your stock rom together with efs folder. Idk which is your stock rom, you have to do some research, download that rom and use odin to go back to stock. You will lose everything you got on the phone btw so save any pictures or music.

Thanks for that. The problem I have is that there's no backup of the EFS folder or the stock ROM. Without these, is there any way of sorting this out or is the phone dead? Cheers

hi
i have same problem did you fix that if yes please help me

Bring S6 back to Samsung for repair

My guess is the phone you bought was stolen and after 10 days it got blacklisted.
Or the seller claimed he lost his phone to insurance company, sold it you, got a new one on insurance, and then after the 10 days the "lost" phone (your phone) got blacklisted.

I have the exact same problem, bro. All of the sudden my IMEI changed to 350000000000006 and I'm not able to register on my network. Did you manage to fix this? Please, let me know.

The same story, any help?

How I can fix this? Please help

Get Chimera tool and you should be able to fix it no problem

Did you manage to fix?
My baseband shows as attached after installing vador rom so I'm confused

If you didn't formatted/wipe the efs/nvbackup, there's a chance you can retrieve your imei.
But if it doesn't, the only way is to bring it up to Samsung or a good phone technicians to repair or get you a new branded IMEI for your phone. Mine was fixed by a technician using Octopus box tool.

P40 Pro keeps rebooting after every 20seconds

Hi All,
I have a P40 Pro which i upgraded to 10.1.0.155 firmware.
after the instalation the phone keeps rebooting after every 20seconds.
I tried:
* reset
*hard reset
*downgrade or upgrade with HiSuite but the phone keeps rebooting so unable to do nothing
*using memory card /OTG no matter if i user firmware.114 or .154 it says that the firmware is not for this device, but it is
*using safe mode keeps rebooting
*using eRecovery i get message that no firmware found
I updated the apps.
I tried to disable and uninstall what is not required.
But everytime after 20 seconds the phone keeps rebooting.
Does anyone knows any fix?
Or from where to download firmware 10.1.0.155 or higher to try?

most likely, if you updated via hisuite.proxy or did a rollback, you installed the wrong firmware. i had the same problem. none of the methods helped me to fix the problem. only the replacement of the motherboard in the service center helped.

Can I ask you what did you say when you give the phone to them? Did u say you used third party software? Did u say u tried to install new version or try to downgrade new version?
I'm in the position as you. I'm sending an email to my retailer. I will give you more updates.

Hi mate
This service doesn't involve speaking to anyone. Huawei will organise DHL to collect and return. That's it.
Nobody will call or speak to you. They sent me a form back saying that the phone won't be repaired under warranty because of "unauthorised repair or modification of software"
Nothing else.

that's not good.

I'm from Costa Rica and got the phone from Movistar Telefonica.
They accepted my phone to be checked and the Repair Center replaced the mainboard to fix the issue. I did not tell them what I did, but finally, I got my phone repaired and with the bonus of EMUI 10.1.0 (10.1.0.109) so I can now install Googlefier.

Mine went to insurance however I'm under the impression that was bad luck as most of the other people contacting CS had their mobile repaired under warranty. This is what it's...
