[Q] EFS and Support - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So today I think I messed up pretty bad.
I was installing the Carbon Rom via fastboot and after, I went to delete the cache and userdata.
Now, I didn't notice anything strange, I was at home and on wifi. Until' I tired texting a friend. I noticed that nothing was showing up. No IMEI, no number, no baseband!
I was planning on running a data recovery tool on the / area whenever I next can, but if I can't get the EFS back, what would be the next course of action?
Flash stock and send it back to Google to get fixed?
Also, what is the exact location of the EFS directory on the nexus 5's?
Someone offer me some guidance, I feel so lost!
Thanks, Alex.

First, how did you flash carbon in fastboot?
Second, there is no efs folder it's a partition
Try flashing the cache.img in fastboot

I have restored it to stock, and it's all fine. But stock sucks.
And I mean in recovery.img, clockwork touch.
The problem lies within the radio.img, as that is the thing stopping the baseband coming.
Will try reflashing Carbon and then putting the stock radio.img onto it. :silly:

You could have just flashed the cache.img on fastboot and would have solved your problem without losing your custom Rom or data. Something to remember if it happens again.

[Q] no service

Okay, I had upgraded to 10.1 Aries and it was working fine and I tried changing some things with UOT kitchen and I got a "no service" problem. I have tried reinstalling from stock a couple of times but it doesn't make any difference. tried flashing a different modem and that didn't work either. The phone boots up and wi-fi works, but not the phone or data. Tried flashing an efs restore file and that didn't work either. Bill's paid for tmobile. I tried restoring from a nandroid backup and there is no change. IMEI is all zeros IMEI SV is 02 mobile network state is disconnected.
what to do?
Flash back to stock then reflash cm10.1
I use this one click to restore my IMEI/service issues
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1500427
Then flash an ICS ROM
Flash CM10.1

er... I flashed back to stock about three times and it didn't make any difference. I used Odin to flash KC1, then KJ6, then a kernel with CWM.
Have you upgraded from a GB ROM to an Team Acid ICS ROM? Their upgrade script automatically backs up you efs files.
Try extracting the tar file from the backup and taking the contents and stick it in the efs folder. That worked for me once :/ there is also a script Team Acid posted per my request somewhere in the Stupid Questions Thread.

Flash back to stock then flash aries release 3. Next time u get the no connection turn off wifi and just wait longer. Sometimes it just takes a bit after boot. Reflashing the modem (make sure you are flashing fb padded modem). That should do it. I started reflashing a modem after aries every time then realized i just had to wait an extra 20 seconds after booting up. Release 3 pretty good with this

I have the same issue. Had been running Aries beanstalk since it came out, switched to dao's pacman and after a couple days it seems the radio chip quit or something. Tried different modems, restoring nandroid, flashed back to stock, went and got a new Sim card. Nada. So... Yeah I had to pay 5 bucks for a new phone lol

After doing more testing.. Kb5 and kc1 dont flash... You need to flash kd1 and up and make sure they are padded.

And if u do install aries then flash kc1 by mistake it will say baseband unknown imei unknown.. But you dont have to do one click.. Just flash padded kd1 ki1 lb6 anything besides kb5 and kc1. I think it has to do with byte size of modem file.

I don't remember exactly where but there should be a folder on your SD card with all the efs backups created when you upgraded to mtd.
The filename should be efs-backup.tar and it could also have numbers in the backup name

I tried restoring from some other efs backup but I'll look around and see if there is any more backups. I have the sd card saved on my hard disk as well. There should be several backups. Somehow, though, I don't think its the imei or 10.1 is storing the IMEI in a different place or folder. This is too bad because the Aries version of 10.1 is really nice.
I pretty much have the same problem. After upgrading to 10.1 I can't get any reception even though I tried flashing stock and padded modems on 10.1.
i found several efs backups in the backup folder, but expanding them and replacing the efs folder on my phone makes no difference at all, IMEI is still 00000000 ..... unless 10.1 uses an efs folder in a different location that is. This is acting like there is a second backup location for the phone information that,if you don't delete it or overwrite it, restores the bad efs informaiton.
Nvm... deleted.

Does anyone know whether the imei information is located in a different location with MTD roms? I have been using the efs folder.
back on my old Galaxy Apollo for the time being -- they are still developing for this phone. Must be a lot of them out there.
I have the same problem. I was using Aries 10.1 just fine. Everything worked great. Then all of a sudden I get no signal. I tried restoring back to stock oneclick w/ factory reset several times. I have an EFS backup which I've restored several times both manually and automatically. No signal, no baseband version, no IMEI. It says unknown on settings for IMEI.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You can still get signal with an unknown imei it will just take a not longer the first time to connect. I know it isn't a fix but just a thought.
No luck here. I let it sit for 30+ minutes.

Also worth nothing that while on CM7 I tried every modem without any success. And I did try doing the oneclick back to stock with the same outcome.

baseband unknown :((

So i must have messed up my phone while using the all in one root unlocker and so on. Im not sure what i did, but i finally got my phone to boot, and now i get no service. Im on tmobile and it says i have no sim card. When i go into about phone it shows baseband unknown.
I really have no idea what to do. Ive never been stuck in this situation. Maybe someone more experienced can point me in the right direction?
any help would be appreciated!

so furthermore, it looks like i have no data partition anymore, i can go on my chromebrowser on the phone and browse the web but when i try to install anything it says no sdcard. I also cant move anything to the phone via windows, it just freezes even tho i can see the phone and go into the internal storage.
Im really screwed here. Ive also used the fastboot files to flash back to google stock, but for some reason continue to find everything borked.
HELP PLZ!!! ahah
Also, finding that i cant mount any partition, cache, data, anything liek that. It seems like my partitions have been messed up . Not sure how to resolve that
Well it looks like your the first one to brick the nexus 5. If your imei is missing your screwed.
P.S.A DON'T USE TOOLKITS

I realize that maybe using the toolkit may not have been a good choice but considering im already here. Constructive advice might be a little more helpful... I know that with my old verizon GS3 if i lost my imei/ similar info, i could nv flash myself and get it back in certain cases. Does a similar thing not exist for the nexus 5? Id imagine that a truly unlocked device like this one should have a method to get back from anything?

If you've flashed the stick images and it hasn't fixed it then you might be out of luck. With the n4 there is a thread on how to restore the phone with LG nv flash in download mode. I don't think the tools or files are available yet for the n5 tho

i dont know what i did, but i restored the factory image one more time, then booted to stock recovery and wiped all partitions. The phone booted and my imei and baseband are back. Working 100% now. Gonna sit out the rooting and so on for now. time to relax for a bit
So you can't fastboot flash anything? Can you fast boot flash twrp recovery from the android SDK on a PC?

Ya, fastboot continued to work, and iw as able to flash the factory images.At first those werent fixing anything. the final time i flashed it right before it worked again, i let the phone sit and run the boot screen for about 30 minutes before i went to stock recovery and wiped. Then it booted perfectly.
The previous times i had flashed twrp and wiped which i believe was the cause in the first place.
Thanks all its working perfect now. The device is amazing,!

Sames just happened to me, but I didnt use a toolkit, i did it all manually.
Quick flash of the factory image sorted it. :victory:
UPDATE: Flashed TWRP again....All ok this time.
You guys unlocked the bootloader first right?
Sent from my SGH-I747
This has just happened to me. I have installed the stock images 2 times now.
Is there anything you guys did differently to make it work?
My N5 decided to wipe the baseband and IMEI when I went to wipe the cache through recovery. Tried to reflash factory images 5 times and each time, when the phone boots up, hangouts, camera and gallery apps force close and I still have no network signal or IMEI/baseband.
Worst bit is all I did was wipe the cache partition, done that a million times and never had this problem
Anyone know what i can do?
I've relocked the bootloader for now but I can't call Google because my only phone is the Nexus 5 so that's out of the question.
Edit:
Managed to fix it by using a slightly different set of fastboot commands.
Here's what I did:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-hammerhead-HHZ11d.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio radio-hammerhead-M8974A-1.0.25.0.17.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot -w update image-hammerhead-krt16m.zip
fastboot reboot-bootloader
That worked for me

After you flash the factory image, boot into recovery and do a factory reset.
You mentioned a cache wipe. Was this in CWM or TWRP? My N5 hung trying to do a cache wipe in CWM. After rebooting the sdcard was inaccessible. The solution was to flash TWRP from fastboot, and do an advanced wipe of only the cache, and give it TIME. Like 5-10 minutes. After another reboot I had the sdcard and radio back, but some write permission issues. One more reboot and everything was ok again.

[Q] TWRP vs CWM in radio issues

So I've heard a ton about twrp botching the n5's radio on flash. Mainly, my question is if either twrp or cwm is fixed in this regard. Also, is it as easy to fix as:
root -> radio gets messed up on new ROM -> download factory image -> fastboot flash the radio img -> no signal issues?
Thanks.
EDIT: Also, if my signal goes down should I flash the 4.4.1 or 4.4 radio?
First I've heard of twrp botching the radio.

2.6.3.4 fixed pretty much all of the big issues. I've been wiping cache and other things with it, no issues.
The radio botching happens when restoring a backup from a different nexus 5 in twrp. As the efs partition is device specific and restored in twrp it breaks the radio because of the mismatch in information.
If your signal is weaker in 4.4.2 the recommended is going with the 4.4 radio

Don't backup the efs partition. Who does that anyway. Do it once and save it off device.
As Alex said, it isn't exactly TWRP killing the radio. The problem is that TWRP puts powerful tools such as EFS restore in the hands of people who don't know what EFS is. A few people (myself included) didn't know better and flashed the EFS from our previous phone to the new one, resulting in pain, tears and lots of ice cream consumption.
As I said, do not blame TWRP for borking the radio. But maybe blame them for giving rocket launchers to deer hunters.

[Q] Any way to recover lost EFS?

Ok, so I probably know the answer to this already :crying:
Brief story - stock rooted ROM with custom kernel. Made backup with TWRP. Flashed stock boot,img and system.img in fastboot, flashed downloaded update from 4.4 -> 4.4.2 in recovery. Wiped cache and dalvik - started but recovery locked up. Had to hold power to reboot phone. Booted fine but no network, no IMEI, no baseband.
And no I don't have and EFS backup
I take it the phone is now buggered.
Is there anything I can do to fix this??
Appreciate anything that might help this.

In his case, if he just does what I said to do he'll be fine. He didn't lose his EFS, he rebooted in the middle of a cache wipe and his partitions got messed up. Updating TWRP and wiping the cache again will set everything straight. This is a fairly common issue with older versions of TWRP.

Thanks for the help guys. Got it up and running again more by accident than anything. Seems like MetalHead was correct, the partition was fine but just not readable. Unfortunately in order to get up and running again I flashed all the stock images in flasboot and did a full factory reset in the stock recovery which fixed the problem. Sounds like I could have done without the full wipe after all but at least it's all fixed now.
As for backing up the EFS, lesson learned. I had the 1st official TWRP on the phone which had no option for EFS backup like the current one. Guess what I'll be doing right now??
Anyway, happy man again and thanks to all that replied :good:
I must apologize for saying its not 100% but the truth is I had the exact same thing happen and no stock or fast boot cache fixed it I'm living proof that it works for the masses but under rare circumstances this just doesn't solve it oh man how I wish this would've fixed mine I been using a inspire 4g its killing me I feel like I jumped out of a beemer and landed in a pinto lol

idk what happened i was using my phone as normal and was using snapchat, then my camera crashed and rebooted my phone. then i noticed that i didn't have signal so i went to the settings and noticed that everything that has to do with ril is gone like imei, imei sv.

Have you flashed the cache.img? Try flashing it 2-3 times... Or just head over to stock recovery and format cache 2-3 times and then do a factory reset.. These things needs to be done via the stock recovery and not a custom one.
I had a similar problems some weeks ago and this solved it!

i live in norway we cant send them to google directly it has to go trough the company where u bought it, say for an example my carrier telenor which would then deal with the problem. but i bought mine of ebay because i wanted it faster (due to problems of the 2012s nexus 7 where we didnt receive it before november.) so i guess the phone is pretty much useless now?

Have you flashed the cache.img? Try flashing it 2-3 times... Or just head over to stock recovery and format cache 2-3 times and then do a factory reset.. These things needs to be done via the stock recovery and not a custom one.
I had a similar problems some weeks ago and this solved it!

i had the same issue when running the Nexsense port. There was a known issue that it would break the sensors back when it first got released but the DL link got removed immediately. after that there was a post to correct the sensors. but there was another issue with it as well. seeing as it was a NAND backup, it was very possible it re-wrote you EFS partition on your phone which stores you IMEI and other data like that. The only possibility of getting that back, is if you did a backup of the EFS partition prior to having an issue. just a warning: DO NOT FLASH ANOTHER PHONES EFS PARTITION TO YOURS. the only way to get the phone to work again with a messed up EFS partition (from what i have seen) is through replacement device unfortunately
