I ran into an issue where after flashing the Marshmallow firmware from a G925F rom on my SM-G925P phone getting the error "device does not have drk please install drk first"
EFS folder, nv_data.bin, and cert are corrupt. I simply need someone to send me their EFS folder so I can get my phone to accept these firmwares once again and hopefully I can start developing a few roms. Here's hoping there's someone out here who wants to help.
E-mail: [email protected]
Thanks
Can you reflash the correct version and fix the problem?

Unfortunately it doesn't change anything. When I flash the SMG925P variant firmware it still gives me the DRK issue. I've been told my EFS was corrupt and I didn't have a backup.
bump, no one? I'm not using a sim card or anything so you shouldn't have issues.

Thanks man, appreciate it
Would a backup through twrp of efs be sufficient? If not let me know what way would be acceptable.

I really need to figure out how do you flash the .bin file. I tried to make it an Odin package, fail... zip package.. no meta-data, partitions app... backup must be an .img. What are people doing to flash .bin? Could I take a look at your nv_data? I have the Sprint version with null imei. I was trying to fix a corrupted usb drive from twrp and the stupid thing mke2fs to my efs somehow. Now I can't do anything about it yet until I figure out more than I know.

Help me.
Hey everybody I hope someone can help me to rescue my phone.
I flashed carbon and ukm. Then wanted to change GPU governor to simpleondemand and got hot reboots. Was not able to fully boot and lost imei. I tried to restore my backup but they didn't want to boot either, same with another fresh install. Thereafter I deleted synapse folder through recovery and was able to boot my restored ROM. Now I have no imei, no data, no WiFi... In addition my files don't show the files on my phone anymore I only can see them in my recovery, all is still there. My problem is I don't have an extra efs backup only two ROM backups. First I would have liked to know how I can rescue my data? Cause its not showing on booted phone and because of that also not on computer via USB. Is there a proper way to save and what can I do to maybe save my phone. I flashed ROM for years on many different devices and something like that never happened before any help appreciated thanks!!!

Hello, I had sent you a message to try and help as much as I could but you opened a thread so I'll help you on here.
First. Double check all twrp folders using a file Explorer. Some roms when flashed through twrp automatically back up your efs partition.
Second. If the folders are blank then we'll proceed to try other methods of fixing your imei.
I assume since you went from having a blank imei to that weird number you tried one of the methods you found through Google.
There are ways to manually reenter your imei if the methods found on Google fail. Follow the instruction in the site below (I highly suggest using the terminal emulator method) and report back here. Your imei can be found on your Sim card or the bigger card your Sim came in.

This right here.
I have cleaned this thread, and I don't want to see any posts about IMEI modifying or anything illegal here.
You can try stock flashing, rebuilding an EFS partition somehow (probably impossible) or repair shop, but any talk of anything illegal and the moderators will take action on your account.
Thanks.
Have you tried searching for a Galaxy s6 efs repair script?
If nothing has worked you definitely need to go with a repair shop. Either a third party repair or try to warranty replace your phone through Samsung. If you go the Samsung route Odin flash 100% stock firmware then send it in to them and see what they say
yeh i boght new s6 edge lolllllll bbut i i learned to back up
After numerous reinstallations CM and other roms I caught a strange bug.
Now I is not working WiFi and BT, fm radio. it does not matter at what firmware. on miui or custom rom. also after the installation of any version of miui version puts custom it is not work... black screen(
MAC address blank in the information about phone.
Are there any ideas how to deal with it and how to fix the phone?
I use fastboot and twrp for install rom. not use mi recovery
to @sharan.nyn There is a special version of tvrp that makes backups of absolutely all partitions. You can do it and send me?
Can you tell me how to take backup and what exactly will be the file size. I think it would big files.

Yes, they are big, but probably can not backup such as the cache systems date. then the backup will be small.

Where did you get the recovery image? And is it compatible with our device? I think it must be compiled for our device for it work.

I would advise you not to flash ALL PARTITIONS of one device on to another. This is due to the fact that it includes EFS partition which is unique in a way that it contains your IMEI # and other details which are unique to every device. This can brick your phone permenantly. A flash without ESF partition can be great.
Good luck !
Usually BT, WiFi, Radio trouble occurs it you have messed up with your motherboard hardware values. Try going back to the ROM you were before on and make sure you haven't flashed any wrong radio for your device. ( like your radio was meant for India and you flashed China or any other firmware. )
Do quote back in case you expect an answer!
after installing a full backup does not run the sim card. If you load Fail ESF from its own backup, the SIM card is starting to work, but the WiFi did not work. From this it follows that mi4i imei stored somewhere else and booting phone compares it imei. The question is, where are still kept IIMEI files?

I have a similar problem to you : after a hardbrick, my IMEI files are uknown. How did you manage to install the backup given by sharan.nyn ?
BTW, when you backup the EFS with Mi4i toolkit, two files are shown : /dev/block/mmcblk0p20 and mmcblk0p21. I don't know what to do with that, but I'm pretty sure they have IMEI in them.
i am facing similar issue but my sim is not detecting on first slot but it is detecting on second slot
even my imei is showing correctly should is go for replacement coz i bought it few days back
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.

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.
