So i decied to go to carbon rom because my phone has been acting strange, YouTube would keep resigning in everything i would launch it, Random crashed and freezes and has just been acting up for no good reason. I was running CM 10.1 nightly and dont apply ant mods to it or anything like that becuase i like it simple.
When i flashed the rom i did it with gapps but they were not intalled when i boot, all i got was my SIM pin popup like i usualy get. So i re-flashed gapps and still no luck. So i said f*** it and found another build of it and copyed it to my SD Card and was going to flash it. Like i allways do i went to factory reset and all i got was a long log of cant remove lost+found and same happed when i tryed to wipe the system. and that didnt look good so i pulled the battery and booted recovery with the key press and it would get to teamwin screen but would reboot. Opened oden on my desktop, reflashed teamwin tar and that didnt help it. So i was lucky that i loaded the rom and i rebooted to recovery and am copying all my /data/media to a sdcard that i have
So can anyone give me some links to the 16GB PIT and all that jazz so i can get thing back up and running
And no i am not a n00b becasue i have been working with android and other phones long enough to know what i am doing

Iv been able to load a rom but now i cant write to the phone, i have now found a guide talking about unbricking it useing odin anf a nand erase all and thats not working eather, any story i can tell verizon so i can get a replacement today?
Update!
Iv been useing http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1840030 to try to get my phone back and so far it has failed but i decied to switch computers, all my computers are now running windows 8 and i ws doing this on my development computer / server and then i switched to the last computer to have windows 7 next to my main computer and what do you know it worked, the nand erase worked and now its booting im sure i will have to re-unlock the bootloader and all but im happy now
So guys, yesterday I updated twrp (cwm) on my i9505 and everything worked fine.
this afternoon i suddenly couldnt use my phone anymore because i got systemui fc's messages every 3 seconds.
i reflashed the rom, cleaned cache +dalvik but it still wouldnt work.
so i thought: hey, you did a complete backup yesterday, why not use that.
well, seems that this didnt work out so well.
its always telling me failed when trying to restore either /system or /data (boot and efs works fine).
i dont exactly know whether i made the backup before or after the update, but either way i do think that it SHOULD NOT be a problem (im looking at you, devs)
do you guys have any idea on how i can possibly use my old backups? i downgraded again but it still says failed everytime
any help will be greatly appreciated.
oh and yes, i did use the search, but all suggestions that help didnt with me
hi.
i'm not a pro/dev, but by flashing rom or restoring backup i think you are missing a point.
i think, you need stock recovery too to have phone fully reset. in case you flash Stock rom i think it also flashes stock recovery too. but incase not, the old recovery and changes you made to custom recovery are still there. so you maybe is facing that problem.
as i mentioned above that i'm not pro/dev, so again just trying to find the exact problem/point maybe you are missing or i could be wrong too. all i mean is that updated recovery is still there. see in case you can flash stock recovery and stock/custom rom again. i hope you get the point/idea what i mean to say. try it and i think you'll not get the error.
but do not do anything in case you are not sure/aware about what you are doing.
i hope it help.
no, i dont need the stock recovery to fully reset it. trwp can do that too.
actually my point was that it denies to restore that backup and i have no goddman clue why.
(so nothing about roms or so, all that works perfectly fine)
ok i fixed it, it seems like the last backup i made was faulty so i just took an older backup. never had an issue like this before
Thread closed - OP request!
Hello,
I started with Galaxy Note 2- i317M (rogers, canada), rooted with DN3 V4 beta installed. But I wanted to try DN4, so I created a back-up using TWRP and tried installing DN4. However, I later realized that it is not for the LTE versions yet and phone did not recognize SIM anymore. So I wiped the data and tried installing dn3 v5.5, but the phone still did not connect.
Losing all hope I installed DNv4 again, but it still did not work. So i finally just tried restoring from the back-up I made using TWRP. Everything in the phone is same except no network.
Finally I tried restoring from back-up after doing a complete wipe of internal storage and everything except the external card. But still the error does not go away. I researched more about the error and the fact that my imei shows up as null/null. I used the instructions of using EFS professional, but it did not work. The model number in my phone now shows up as SM-G900F and baseband shows as unknown, and it shows DN3V5 Rom despite the clean-up and restoring from DN3V4.
Any guidance available on this please...I need specific steps because after 12 hour search and try-outs I am lost now.....
UPDATE:
Solved it! Here is the solution for anyone in this problem
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=46231268&postcount=4
worked like a charm.. No reason to throw this and get a new phone
I have had this problem. It didn't happen whilst flashing though. My imei number is now a generic one and I had no efs backup. After 5 days of trying everything I can find I'm giving up. My note 2 is dead as far as I'm concerned. As far as I'm aware to get my imei back I'll have to send it for repair so I'll buy another phone and not a Samsung
I don`t think your phones are dead. I didn`t try it personally, but I`m sure you can restore your EFS back. Just you need to do some research, maybe you could start here:
https://www.google.ro/?gws_rd=ssl#safe=off&q=how+to+recover+efs+folder
Do not give up, read on end you will eventually do it! And, by the way, next time maybe you don`t forget to back up before doing anything to your phone!

I did back up. with both titanium backup and twrp but it is not working. And I dont think I will give up. I will format is all together and start over if i have to.
Do you think it will work if I format it entirely and start over?

Hi everyone.
Let's start from the beginning, and by advance excuse me for my poor English : I happen to be a delighted owner of the Oneplus One by the Oneplus company. I've flashed different versions of cyanogen on my phone, rooted it multiple times and I never encountered any kind of problems. Thus, until I decide yesterday to flash the latest release of cyanogen, cm13 (nightly). I did some researches, followed the usual steps, flashed the right opengapps version along with cm13 and.. everything went great. Except that my phone couldn't resolve himself to detect my SIM card anymore. I tried different things in order to solve the problem, including re-wipe the phone "factory reset" style, removing SIM card, wait for the phone to cool down and played with data roaming, but nothing worked. Fortunately I had my fresh nandroid backup waiting to be restored. That's when the real deal start :
even after having restored the full nandroid backup (which make me downgrade to cm12.1), the SIM card wasn't detected.
So I decided to wipe data, dalvik, cache and system, in order to get my phone back to its original state. But the problem remains, and worst of all, the phone now tends to reboot punctually without any reasons.
I surely did something wrong for the phone to end in this state, but I can't see what..
I use TWRP 2.8.7.0 custom recovery, and the phone OS is now cm12.1-YOG4PAS3JL.
Oneplus One 64GB.
Sorry for the length of the complaint, and by advance thanks for your answers.
P.S : I did tried to search for similar threads in the forum, but I didn't manage to found anything that was directly related.
It could be an issue with the modem not being flashed properly when you went from Lollipop to Marshmallow due to TWRP 2.8.7.0. Try TWRP 2.8.6.0, and then either restore the nandroid backup or clean wipe + reflash CM13 nightly.

Thanks a lot for your response. I've been searching a lot and the problem effectively seems to be the modem not being flashed properly. So I tried to flash it manually, (found the file 2 threads higher, sorry I can't post links yet) via fastboot and then flashing cm13 (with twrp 2.8.6.0), considering the fact it seems to have worked for others.
But no matter what I do, the issue remains : the phone isn't able to detect SIM card and goes into crash, rebooting every 2mn..
I've tried to flash cm13 unnoficial version by sultan, following his instructions, but no improvement either.
Even my nandroid backup (running cm 12.1) can't detect SIM anymore, have serious wifi connectivity issues, and keeps rebooting randomly at very reguliar intervals..
I'm really beggining to feel hopeless,
but thanks again for your time and your advices, really apreciate it.
It seems that I have same problem..... after flashing CM13 and restoring backup
Any progress with this problem?
Edit - If my phone is connected into PC with USB cable it doesnt restarts

Same for me, the phone stops crashing and rebooting randomly once connected to pc via USB cable. But still doesn't recognize SIM card. Wifi also seems to work better.
No further progress unfortunately, I've tried everything, from restoring the phone to its factory state to flashing all "stable" roms (cyanogen), nothing worked.

Already saw it, but thanks ^^ that's where i found my file modemst.bin
so did it work for you ?
The same thing happened to me last week. I was using Materialized TWRP 2.8.7.0, which I think caused issues with my updating of Sultanxda's 13.1 ROM. SIM card was never detected, phone would restart shortly after every boot. I tried everything I could find to get my baseband and IMEI back.
In the end, only this solution worked for me, and I had to do it twice. I don't know why.
I had the same problem. I got back to TWRP 2.8.6.0 and then flashed the latest CM13(wiped System). after that without wipe i flashed sultans's CM13 then gapps and got the sim working again.

Thanks for the link. I tried to flash the zip, but twrp(2.8.6.0) gave me an error : Error flashing ONEPLUS+ONE-FIX-Windows.zip
I tried to clean flash it and dirty flash it, nothing seems to work.

I've tried multiple times, it doesn't work. SIM card is not recognized, phones goes to reboot after 30s of use.
Whatever rom I flash the problem ain't solved, even after factory reset from original OS (cm 12.1)..
I really begin to think there is no solution, I've tried to flash my phone at least 20 times with different roms, fix, firmwares, modem, everything that is available on the net and I couldn't notice even the slightest change in the comportment of my phone.
Anyway, thanks a lot for your proposal, I guess it HAVE to work, but for some irrational reason it doesn't...

Did U flash over TWRP or ADB?
Just popping in to say I have the same problem. I'm trying the various solutions presented in the thread and I'll come back and report if anything worked. I would also appreciate any other suggestions that you may have
For the record, I got into this predicament through the following steps:
1. I was flashing some CM nightly (sorry, I don't remember which one), and after reboot the touch screen didn't work anymore
2. I flashed the OxygenOs .zip that I had saved on internal storage through TWRP
3. After flash touch screen worked but no sim detected
4. Flashed CM 12.1 still no sim
5. Flashed back to OxyOs, still no sim. Curiously I am unable to reboot via software.
Anyway, I basically have all weekend to work on this, so awayyyy we go!
---
<Edit>
Wow that was fast. I followed this guy's instructions (fastboot flashing modemst, then CM12.1) and it seems to be working like a charm! Good luck everybody else!

I flashed via TWRP(2.6.8.0) and via ADB for modemst1.bin and modemst2.bin.
By the way, there's a little improvement : I flashed kalkulin's_stock_OPO Rom and that stopped my phone from rebooting.
Now cm13 is running kinda fine, except it still doesn't detect SIM card, even after reflashing modemst1 and modemst2
Edit : When I try to flash oxygenos, oneplus fix or cm12.1, (roms that are supposed to fix sim detection problem), it doesn't work : Error flashing Zip file. via adb or twrp, that's the same. (excepting the fact that error in adb is about trustzone)
I think my efs partition is somehow corrupt, and unfortunately i have no way to restore it.

It's not supposed to be flashed. Unzip the archive on a Windows PC, then use the .bat files in there to fix your phone.

Effectively, I kinda did things completely wrong there, sorry. (I'm an exclusive linux user for my defense ^^)
Okay guys, I finally solved my problems.
Here's what I did to fix reboot crashes and SIM detection issues :
-Flash TWRP(2.8.6.0)
-Wipe everything except internal storage
-Flash Calkulin's_Stock_OPO_XNPH44S_ROM_v1.0.zip (can't post links yet, sorry)
-Boot system
-Once done, reboot to bootloader (in command prompt : sudo adb reboot bootloader)
-In command prompt, type the following commands (It will delete modem and /persist partition ! be careful) :
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot erase persist
-If you need to fix "Unable to mount /persist" error in TWRP :
adb shell
make_ext4fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p15
-Flash Oxygen OS (i flashed oxygen_1.0.0_flashable.zip)
That should restore EFS and fix the issues.
Well, that was kind off a pain in the ass, but now my problem is solved, and i'm currently running cm13 quite fine.
Make a backup of your EFS partition.
Thanks to all the people that helped me by posting in this thread !
It's a nightly build, it bound to have some problems.
i am having bootloop issue, tried many roms, erased partition too, still no use. continuous bootloops

UPDATE:
I have baseband wifi and bluetooth back but my IMEI is still showing up as 0 and no signal. I know the phone is reading the sim because I can see the phone number saved on the sim info.
Also getting "OEM_NV_Backup The NV Partition is invalid!" when I boot OxygenOS
Does anyone know where I can get 16GB installs for ColorOS and OxygenOS? I have a 16GB phone but when I use the msm download tool to install ColorOS I end up with a 64GB install.
Do you have any backup for the EFS partition?
I had same problem about EFS partition and No IMEI too. So I am almost sure that flashing completely untouched official Oxygen OS downloaded straight from official site will solve your problem as it did mine. Just download "Build" from here (oneplus forum) and flash it with latest TWRP. After that you'll get your fully working network connectivity back. Then just flash any other ROM you like, but look for perfect modem first (c6 works best in Asia and c7 rest of the world, but try both if you want). All the best :fingers-crossed::good:

gonna try that now, should I take any other steps before flashing in twrp like wiping anything?
so I tried installing oxygen through twrp but I was getting error 7 (phone is marked as A0001 and install is marked for OnePlus). I tried using the files and instructions from the oxygen 2.14 thread and somehow my phone hard bricked lol, I've learned so much about this phone in the last 2 months.
Gonna throw ColorOS on there and try going straight to OxygenOS from there.
So I had to wipe everything (system, cache, etc) before twrp let me install oxygen. I got oxygen installed but now it loops in oneplus screen and I got this issue come up after installation finished
Some more progress... was able to install oxygen os finally and it look like I'm almost done coming back from this nightmare. Baseband is back, WiFi and Bluetooth work, now just need to see about restoring my iemi, I've found some info on how to restore imei so I'll try that tomorrow sometime after waking up. I've learned so much about this damn phone! !
My bottom screen has also stopped working. The replacement screen you brought from, it is original or clone?? How does it feel to the screen when you buyed the phone from your friend. And i hope you'll get back your imei too

It's not original. Screen is fine the only downside to non oem front assembly is that that capacitive buttons will not be as bright, some have reported that they don't light up at all, seems to be luck of the draw.

As I can see from your screenshot from previous reply, you are not using official ROM. Completely official ROM is named as "OnePlus_Bacon_OxygenOS_201601190107". There was no need to wipe internal storage. Use this guide to modify the updater script. It worked for me perfectly. Then flash it and just boot into ROM. I was able to recover everything including IMEI number by this method.
And yeah, I feel the same way. I've learned so much from our beloved Bacon :laugh:

You have baseband so your imei is back
yet another update
installed oxygenos with twrp, I have baseband wifi and everything but no data signal and my IMEI is 0
I've hit yet another wall :crying:
Why isn't there a 16GB version of ColorOS and OxygenOS? When I install ColorOS via msm download tool I end up with a 64GB install, I think this might be causing my "OEM_NV_Backup The NV partition is invalid!" issues as well.
Just need to resolve those two issues, bad nv partition and my IMEI being 0
Anybody know where I can get a 16GB version of colorOS, I have a feeling I overlooked something I was supposed to tweak

That's what I thought but my IMEI still shows up as 0
I don't understand why you are not flashing official Oxygen OS even after saying it solved each and everything for me?? And since it is official, it is bound to support 16 GB variant as well.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/tool-oneplusrecovery-tool-v1-0-restore-t2991851
Ok, so the link I posted should be a last resort. You will find a recovery tool that I used when my IMEI would not return correctly. Follow all instructions, but do note that this will completely wipe everything, and if I remember correctly, that includes all personal files. The tool should land you back on the original software (like CM11S). I say try EVERYTHING else people tell you first before doing this. You're essentially starting over your phone. Good luck!
EDIT: Your recovery will be stock as well.

I did flash the official one. I used the link from the oneplus page that takes me to a forum post. At first I wasn't able to do it with twrp but afterwards I was able to
I did it once with the tool they provided and a second time through twrp, imei still 0
