Hi guys,
I upgraded my rooted Nexus 5 to 4.4.1 from TWRP and after reboot it, it does not work anymore. No signal, no IMEI, SDcard error... I don't know exactly how to fix it, I guess that is a baseband, ROM or something like that problem. Can someone help me?
Thanks a lot!

Looks like your EFS is screwed up
Did you made a nandroid backup ?
Also, try flashing full stock if you didn't
Edit : This post should probably be in Q/A section
Yup, sounds like EFS got b0rked somehow.
I really hope you made an EFS backup before flashing anything, as that holds all your IMEI and radio configuration data.
If you have, simply restore that backup and you should be good to go. If not... I dunno. Take it back and see if you can get it swapped out?
I don't think flashing back to stock will help, as EFS is flashed at the factory to set the IMEI. Stock restore images have no way to know what your IMEI should be, so they can't re-set it.
And yes, this should be in Q&A.
It happened to me before with my nexus 5
Just flash Factory Images and you will be fine
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#hammerhead
When you people say backup your EFS is that automatically backed up in a nandroid backup? Or is there something special you need to do?
Hi, I had this same problem a while back and flashing the factory image worked for me too.

@Hand76 In TWRP you can specify the partitions for the backup, I assume CWM has a similar option somewhere, I don't use it so can't say for sure.
Had the same problem. Flashing factory image solved the issue.

+1. You might be able to just flash the cache.img.

Well, I know TWRP does backup when doing a full backup. Not sure about CWM
There is also a thread in original dev section, containing a script to backup EFS separatly
That's the first thing I did before flashing any ROM
Just fyi, if flashing the factory image fixes the problem, then the efs are never truly gone...
When I lost the efs on my Nexus 's, it was game over, needed new hardware... Seems to only really be a major problem with Samsung phones

Your cache was probably corrupted. Flash the stock cache.img and report back.
Hey,
Thanks for your answers. Was a bit lost but finally I fixed it with Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit:

It seems my cache was broken (even something else xD) but flashing factory image solved the issue.

That's your problem. Use ADB and flash the cache from the stock image (found in the how to return your phone to stock thread in the general section). No tool kits.

no matter what you're doing with the Infuse, whether it's wiping or reset or repartition flash, or odin or heimdall, DO NOT CLEAR YOUR EFS UNLESS you are absolutely sure you have an EFS backup somewhere.
If you flash or clear your EFS and you don't have a back up, you're SOL
Yes. It's back. Don't recall if I've flushed my EFS or not. Now what do I have to do in order to be able to run CWM?
What do I do if the EFS is wiped anyway?
Anybody? On either thing?

Won't be an issue once you have make a tar of efs either with my backup, zen tool kit or any method. It may be the syntax, but when you wipe your efs partition, good luck on getting it back. I believe it was bml5.
Efs clears the programming on your phone cause me to need reactivated nothing more i use it everytime i resale a phone due to my info being able to read if i do not clear it. Efs clears what a factory reset will not. Including total talk time on the phone and stuff like that

Ok so I got a little flash happy today and during the course of it I messed up my IMEI to all symbols. I went and reflashed everything about 10 times and tried to restore my efs backup from my card.
I guess that my efs backup became messed up because none of the times has it fixed my IMEI like it has in the past. I have another efs backup on the sd card and I remember reading somewhere that I can manually push the files.
I just cannot figure out what to push to restore the IMEI back to normal. I have pushed the EFS backup tar and got data back but with my IMEI still all symbols.
Can anyone tell me what files to push? I would greatly appreciate it
Have you flashed the efs_restore zip? I think there is a method posted in FB's unlocker thread.
Yes I have tried flashing the efs_restore zip so many times. I have no idea what happened on why it is not working. I have tried every MTD rom to date and I have always used the restore without an issue.... until today, when everything just stopped working. I do not get any errors during the restore zip and it appears it works until I boot my phone and check my IMEI
Maybe you just need to go back to kj6 via heimdall.
If you have a backup if your efs (the efs folder itself) you can just copy to the root directory and overwrite the corrupted one then reboot. It's the easiest way to fix it if you have a copy if the folder

You didn't try going back to stock yet? Tisk tisk. Do that. Check that your signal/IMEI works on a stock rom, then flash AOKP from that, then flash CM9 or MIUIv4 after that. AOKP has the updater.sh fix that allows you to flash directly from BML so do that first.
Lol I was going to but I was at work when it happened. Thats what i did when i got home. I knew I could go back to stock but I knew I had read a way to do it without going back so I really was more curious that I could not figure it out. Going back was really painless and fixed the issue.

Hi I had the same issue before and what I did was manually push the efs folder from my sd and then powered off my device. Then I took the battery out and held the power bottom with battery out for 10 sec to drain remaining charge on the motherboard. Then popped the battery back in powered it up and walaaa my imei came back try it won't hurt :thumbup:

Hey everyone,
I am new to the android phone arena and would appreciate some help.
I bought the nexus 5, rooted it and was attempting to flash CyanogenMod 11. I didnt realize I need a windows computer to do and was trying to do it through the phone itself. (i know, i know...terrible, like I said, I'm new)
The phone froze and will not even restore from a factory reset. It is like it is trying to reset from the CyanogenMod ROM (which wasnt installed properly in the first place). I have tried restoring from a backup, but none exists. I tried mounting a flash drive with the stock hammerhead ROM on it, but it will not mount. I am using ClockwordMod Recovery v6.0.4.4.
Can anyone help me?

Ok lets try decrypting this first.
It sounds like you got through the rooting process,and got yourself a custom recovery. Ok
You flashed CM11, but it started to boot loop on you.You tried to revert back to stock, but you failed to make a backup. Now you are stuck since you cant mount the phone as a disk from recovery and restore a working rom.
Is this what is going on?
If so, you still have hope. You can use adb from the boot loader and push the stock firmware back on.
Follow this thread and start over from the beginning.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2513701
Yes, Un-root, go back to stock and try this again. Next time, make a backup before Flashing like mad.

Hi guys.
I have some problems with my recovery, here is my story.
I was running last TWRP, and while doing an update of my favorite ROM, the installation was stuck at fomatting system... I tried to reboot several times and nothing to do it couldn't work.
So I installed (in a dirty way) CWM to try it. Formatting seemed to work and it's still working (or at least it's written that the operation is done) BUT when I want to update my ROM and when the script needs at the beginning to format system, it's stuck for several minutes. Sometimes it works only after 3 or 4 times (or maybe it's because I don't wait enough) and so then everything works out but I've got a message like "the error was system", can't remember sorry, if you need what is exactly written I'll tell you.
So why should I do ?
Thanks.
Hope you understood me, my english kinda sucks..
I think your best bet at this point would be flashing the factory images and starting fresh. I don't use twrp myself, but for what I've read here, it's best to let it finish what it's doing and not reboot.

Yeah that is a great how to but I've already rooted and unlocked phone. I understand how to flash roms, I have at least 10 android devices in my home that I flash roms to.
I know the process, it is the same on most devices. The problem with this one is when you go to flash a new rom it says it can't mount system and gets stuck in endless install.

Hey everyone,
So I think I may have done something strange and i'm not sure how to fix it. Long story short, screen cracked, so I bought a new one and I used TWRP to backup my original phone. So now, i'm just trying to unlock and root, you know, the usual. BTW, I tried using ABD/Fastboot, which I never typically do, but I heard it was more efficient and whatnot so I thought I try. I think the unlocking of the bootloader went well. And I even think I flashed recovery properly. But when I tried to access recovery, it prompted me for a password.
I read on the TWRP site I was supposed to let the phone boot as normal before accessing recovery. Oops. So I tried formatting all the data on the phone and no I have no OS or any files to recover from and adb push keeps giving me "Device not found" and now I don't know what to do.
Help?
EDIT: In case anyone has this issue searching threads, I just used Wug Toolkit to flash everything back to stock and then used the same Toolkit to unlock and root. TWRP isn't going to recognize a backup from a different phone. To my understanding, there is a way around that, but I didn't look into it. Oh, and apparently, don't flash the EFS partition lol

OK!
So, I used the Wug toolkit to basically flash everything to stock, and then root it. I installed TWRP using the app and I tried using the app to restore from my earlier back up. So, it boots into recovery but nothing happened. Looking at the log, it says the TWRP isn't able to locate the files. Trying to just restore from recovery isn't helpful because when I hit "Restore" nothing pops up. As if the SDCard partition isn't being accessed. I can't see any of the files in any directory. Anyone have any ideas?

Did you put the backup on the root of the sdcard? I think it needs to be in the TWRP folder. You should first make a backup of your current rom even if it's stock rooted.

Someone explained to me TWRP won't recognize a backup with a serial number from a different phone. So essentially, I will just have to forego it. I used Wug Toolkit to fix this issue and just flashed everything to stock and had the same toolkit unlock and root. Using ADB was a fail and cost me a whole afternoon lol
