As fast as I now everyphone has different efs flashing different efs might payment lyrics brick your phone

yes serial and imei would be different but layout surely would be the same, if we can revert original imie then there shodnt be a problem

Hi
How would this help if your efs is corrupt?, or does it fix it when you restore?

Hi,
The link was ment for anyone willing to take a backup of their efs for you. Just to make it easier
I would do it, but i don't have a computer available before new year.

Ok thanks no problem, I did try installing another modem and messed around a bit what then happened was imei unknown and baseband unknown. I reinstalled stock and unikernel and everything came back. Im lost on what to do next

[Q] Other firmware on the same model

Can i flash other firmware of s4 on my phone (shv-e300s). For example, i want to flash shv-e330s lollipop or indian's lollipop firmware for my shv-e300s. Will it work? Does my network/signal will be removed or still stays? Thanks for answer.

It may work but there is no guarantee at all. Another region's firmware will include another modem version (May affect your signal / reception) and in some cases the partition table is different from the one your phone actually use, which means you can get trouble if you want to flash your region's firmware later. In any case make a backup of the phone's "EFS" partition to be sure your IMEI will not get lost and the phone become unusable.

You can't. For that you create a EFS backup BEFORE youn start modding your phone...

"EFS" is one of the phones partitions storing somje data. You still can backup it, but thats not very usefull as the partition already got screwed up. With IMEI 0 you should not get any carrier signal // reception.

so it means, backing up my efs doesn't do anything if ever i flash a different firmware and screwed up for restoring?

As long your phone is not usable for getting signal or accepting your simcard you will gain absolutely nothing my performing a EFS backup as there seems notghing on it that can be saved.

My phone is still usable and has signal. It means backing up still makes sense?

I'm really curious about it as your carrier will normally refuse establishing connections to simcard in a device with invalid IMEI but in that case backup your EFS.

IMEI=0 restore with QPST, provided a QCN is available?

First things first, I'm sorry for opening another thread on this but I feel the other ones weren't headed exactly in the correct direction.
A little background:
I was trying to downgrade my XT1541 to Lollipop since 6.0 was really bad and I got frustrated and used
Code:
fastboot erase all
The result was I erased my IMEI and I haven't been able to connect to a network carrier since. The problem can be solved by re-writing my IMEI but that's the difficult part.
What I gathered so far is I can use QPST, backup QCN, go into HEX and change IMEI there, then restore the QCN back to my device. The problem is I can't locate the IMEI in my QCN since my IMEI is now simply 0.
So in all, could someone make a backup of THEIR QCN and send it to me? I would flash it to my XT1541, locate the IMEI (since now I would know what I'm looking for), then change it back to my own.
Does that sound like something that could work? Can anyone help?
UPDATE1: Noone sent me their QCN however I did try to restore the one I backup up (which still has an IMEI=0). QPST Software Download reports
Received an invalid command from the phone.

I tried using Qualcomm NV Tools (from EFS Professional), which reads all the information correctly, however when attempting to write the following appears
Cannot Write: NV_UE_IMEI_I
Error: NV_ERR_BAD_SECURITY_STATE

So getting another QCN won't help as it seems that I can't write the IMEI (qcn) back to the device...
There are only two possibilities of fixing this... a 50/50 chance that a full factory flash will restore it (don't know how, but it does sometimes). If that doesn't work, then you need to send it to Moto for repair.

Well, unfortunately that leaves option 2... or turn it into a media play and buy a new phone.
Funny how `fastboot erase all` causes such a pain for some and not others... but once your IMEI is gone, there isn't much you can do. Moto kinda screwed the pooch on that one.
Hello, did u try Xposed IMEI changer? Maybe that will be a native fix for this issue.

Hey, couldn't get any results with the xposed module
Just one bump
One last effort, not a bump. If anyone can direct me to commercial services for repairing the IMEI i'd be very greatful. Official Motorola Service wont repair it for me btw.
Thanks
try this guys

Help! Wifi and sim card not working after messing around with custom roms

Hello!
Somehow I managed to break my wifi and sim card functionality on my oneplus 7 pro EU
I ve tried some custom roms like PixelExperience and crDroid and today I wanted to go back to stock Oxygen OS
I've used MSM tool and more than 5 versions of stock firmware and the "unbricking" process works fine, but I can't get the wifi and sim card to work
Can anyone help me with this? Maybe it's a deeper reflashing for modem or smth..
Quick update, I've tried to restore from a TWRP backup made with PixelExperience12, no success
I have tried reflashing with MSM tool the original rom EU, Global and China version, different versions of android - 9, 10, 11 - I give up
Since nobody seems to reply here, the only solution I've found is to make a service request on oneplus official website
If someone have the same problem and is searching for a solution, I will keep you updated

Looks like your imei and WiFi Mac adress got corrupted and erased and you can't do anything by yourself if you don't have a backup because these two things are unique to each device. You should flash stock ROM and contact one plus about your imei
