[Q] Nexus 5 Possible EFS issue, IMEI already repaired

First post, long time lurker, so i'll start with a big thanks to the entire community for all the help you've unknowingly given me.
I just got a nexus 5 to replace my original n5 which has a broken screen. I took a backup of the original and restored it to the new one. Unfortunately i didn't know what EFS was, so i restored the old EFS to the new phone. IMEI went to zero. HUGE BUMMER.
I was able to fix the IMEI with QPST, but the new phone will not connect to the network. I've run a check on the IMEI and it is not blacklisted. Without incriminating myself, lets just say that i'm positive that the new IMEI is good.
The phone recognizes that i've inserted a SIM but shows no signal. I've tried to search for networks, i've checked the APN settings...
I REALLY don't want to send this to LG since they can't give me a price or even a ballpark figure without me shipping them the phone...
Any advice on next steps would be greatly appreciated.
What should i try next?!

flash the factory img and do not restore your efs on it.

I guess i should have mentioned that i've flashed factory also. Currently the phone is on the latest firmware, unrooted, locked bootloader. Flashing factory had no effect at any point.
I bought this phone on Swappa BTW, so i am assuming there are no hardware issues. I'm not at all certain what else may have been screwed up by having another phone's EFS restored over this "new" phone's EFS...

More Info
I am able to attempt to manually select the network. When i search for networks, the available networks are shown, but when i try to connect it shows the Registering dialog for quite a while, then fails. This is the same behavior as a working phone without a SIM installed. The odd part is that the phone will recognize when a SIM is installed or removed. It seems that my problem may be that the SIM is not being read properly or the data is being lost/corrupted between SIM and antenna. Is this possible? Is this EFS corruption? is this something i can fix? Please help.

Bump?

Phone Missing Baseband and IMEI

I need some help with my S6 - My Phone is stock, I have taken all the updates from Verzion - I have not tired to root this phone or load any ROMS to it.
I use the phone for works so it was loaded with all the airwatch stuff that does not like Root / Custom rom.
the Phone was working at lunch with no issues. I was leaving work and I was unable to to the internet and had no signal - so I rebooted the phone. after I rebooted it, it would be on for like a minute then reboot and keep doing it - So I did a factory reset on the phone. After the factory reset it would not register to Verizon. I checked about phone and every was unknown. Called verizon and the said that was bad- then told me since it was over a year old to go to best buy ( where i got it to see if they could help ). they were no help. I called Samsung to see if i could send it in for repair. They suspended all out of warranty repairs for some reason. so now i have a phone that i cant use as a phone.
I have loaded the phone with the latest firmware with ODIN and did not change anything.
Verizon gave me a new SIM card - that did not work.
the Samsung Desk at best buy could not do anything - they were trying to reflash the factory rom but they had a problem and told me the phone has been rooted.
the knox is not tripped - I have not tired to do anything to this phone.
is there anything that I can try to do to get this phone working again - or send it some where.
it is out of warranty - they will not fix it .
I don't have a backup of the EFS folder which i guess is what is wrong with it.

Galaxy S7 with memory/storage corruption issue

My colleague at work recently purchased a verizon Galaxy S7 (flat not edge) and it came preloaded with a PE1 firmware.
Phone worked well for first 2 days then it started forceclosing apps (mostly google play services, google play, samsung pay and S-voice) which became more vigorous over the period of 2 more days. He brought the phone to me 'cause apparently I'm the tech guy to-go-to when it comes to android phones. Nevetheless, I booted the phone into bootloader and saw that Bootloader is of G930A (At&t) model. Rebooted phone and checked it has baseband of G930A model.
At first I became scared that this is one of those chinese refurbished counterfeit copies which have mtk chipset in them and retailed to fool the simple customers. I ran AIDA-64 & CPU-Z and to my surprise it correctly identified 4GB of LPDDR4 ram, 32GB of internal storage, and a SnapDragon 820 processor. Checked IMEI and it told me its Sprint S7.
Putting hardware out of the question, I came to judgement that this phone is been badly toyed with crossflashing. So What I did was downloading the PI3 firmware of G930U. I tick marked re-partition as well so that the phone boots ALL from the full wipe. Its first boot was fine after flashing but I started getting random reboots every 5 minutes, rebootloop even!
I tried to factory reset + cache clear and charge phone to 100% and to my success I did it while sitting on the welcome screen of startup setup.
I, then flashed Sprint S7 firmware PK1 from Sprint. (G930P). Phone booted fine, configured okay but threw me out an invalid sim card error and refused to take my sim. While the phone was unlocked before and working fine on GSM/3G/LTE, it blacks out on network for me now. Assuming I have the infamous Sprint sim-lock on my phone I shut down the phone.
I, then flashed the At&t PK1 firmware for G930A. Phone boots fine, configures fine. Now it is sim-locked out of the blue and I cant use network at all. I have random forcecloses and reboots but my phone doesnt bootloop when it is on AT&T firmware.
Conclusion,
Phone has corruption in its storage which odin cant even reformat.
Even if I choose repartition, I still end up with stupidity from previous firmware. (For example if I flash G930U firmware after G930P, I end up in Sprint handsfree activation EVEN IF I WIPE DATA/CACHE/Factory Reset)
I have flashed this phone about 13 times in past 18 hours to no success.
I have changed USB cables (I have a 6-inch Micro USB cable, a 1.5 ft one, a genuine Samsung one and a genuine HTC one) and every cable passes the Odin flashing process successfully.
I have used USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 ports on my laptop, even changed windows (between 7 and 8.1, two separate computers).
WHAT I NEED HELP WITH IS:
Someone who can tell me the steps to FULLY WIPE THE PHONE and FLASH from STOCK. Odin is not working for the FULLY WIPE PART despite I tick repartition.
Also, the back cover of the phone doesn't contain the information about serial/imei.
If I put S/N from *#06# into Smart Switch, it says it is invalid for any of the phone models (A, P, T, U, V models)

IKR! Well, he got it from a local seller who sells stuff @ 3-days checking warranty. Thinking that the F & FD models are mostly refurbished chinese crap, he got mugged on USA model as well :/
Now Im trying to revive the phone but seemingly I can't format the cache partition.
If I NAND Erase all from Odin and install AP + BL + CP only, the phone ends up crashing everything at Welcome screen. If I flash CSC as well, phone gets crazy bootlooping.
All that happens while I get dm-verity verification failed on every official firmware I flash.
I have flashed U, T, P, A firmwares and the P firmware got me simlocked as well.... freakin' bummer that Sprint models come with a genuine simlock now instead of software-based simlock (the Handsfree activation junk). After I flashed U firmware from P firmware, I got straight up handsfree activation too.
The phone has crazy ghost storage shi** even if I NAND Erase all and flash another firmware, I can still see the phone booting out of custom logo (if I previously tried eng-boot kernel to root phone and delete the bloatware).

I experienced this on SGS10+. Odin is able to flash and re-partition, the OS boots, but once I load up ~5GB to internal /data (apps installations), the system starts lagging as hell, kernel throws out IO errors, and I am forced to reboot. Upon reboot, it tries to boot the ROM, only to fall down to recovery. Recovery also reports /data corruption. If I run e2fsck on it, it deletes half of the storage, rendering the phone unable to boot. If I reflash with stock or LOS17, the situation repeats as soon as sufficient amount of data is loaded to it. I ended-up purchasing replacement motherboard, as it seems that this is related to this particular device (I have another one with the same ROM/kernel/recovery, which works fine).

[Discussion] Invalid sim card options.

Currently a number of people are having issues with their Sprint versions and the OTA Sep update. I am just trying to start a new thread to help people coming from other places as to what their options may be.
Just to clarify I personally have a locked Sim and have not fixed the issue (I purchased the phone used from Amazon "Unlocked" but it was apparently a sprint version).
Currently can the phone (with the OTA) be rooted and flash an older version of the bootloader and modems? using Magisk (I believe this is still being discussed and worked on).
Can Sprint unlock the phone and it work? Either going down to a spring store, or doing the phone number deal?

I have been running through the same thought process. Had the phone for 6 months, now it doesn't work.
I was about to go to a Sprint store today to sign up for a monthly plan and port my number there (from Verizon). I am monthly on Verizon, so no real harm, except the rest of my family will remain on Verizon. After 50 days, apparently Sprint will unlock your phone, so I was going to do that in 2 months. Maybe Sprint will be better in the end??
But before I do that I may try the root and flash. Just that I use this phone for work, and I can't keep it rooted due to Blackberry restrictions. Which isn't that big of a deal to manage, but just a pain...
Anyone else thinking about just signing up for sprint for a few months to do this?

I figured i would check with sprint and they can't validate my IMEI number on their website or with a customer service rep. Although i still have 2 weeks left of my ATT account i guess i have to wait till i'm good and ready to move forward with this. What a hassle. I might try and explore these options of root once everything gets figured out with the touch issues (without having to use an "OTA mouse" which i don't even know what that is) so we will see.

I bought mine secondhand & was pleased that it just worked after I inserted my T-Mobile SIM.
receiving the Invalid SIM message after the Sept Pie update really crushed me.
I've reached out to Essential Support who stated:
Thanks for reaching out. This error message indicates that this device was originally purchased from Sprint and never properly unlocked from their network. The recent update didn't lock the phone directly, but rather was just a trigger for the device to check its carrier-lock status.
I've reached out to the seller on eBay & am hoping I can have them perform a SIM unlock with Sprint. If not, I'll be requesting a full refund.
I'll update once more progress has been made, for anyone else in the same situation.

I downgraded to an earlier nouget build and then flash the unlocked modem files to get the phone to work with T-Mobile again. Of course this means I can't upgrade the phone past the August update since it will re-lock the phone. If you can get a refund, I would. I probably going to have to go to Lineage OS since I bought mines off Craigslist.

Unlocked for months......
In the bootloader, my phone states "Device State- unlocked" still getting invalid SIM. I left sprint months ago, with a fully purchased phone. They were not helpful, once stating that a device cannot be unlocked, and relocked, then telling me I'm not a customer, not their problem. I am going to try and install Oreo, and see if that helps.

You can update to september build and it won't relock.

Stuck
I have been trying for hours to install an older ota, but i keep getting a prompt that downgrad not allowed. any help?

well, i'm happy to say, i'm on Sept 2018 (PPR1.180905.036) and i'm able to get my T-Mobile SIM to work again
below are the steps I performed
(DISCLAIMER: the below commands are from memory, you may need to confirm the correct verbiage if the commands do not take properly)
you'll need a few things:
- NMK24B (get fastboot version from https://www.essential.com/developer/current-builds)
- modem files (provided by ziddey - https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=77532356&postcount=20)
- PPR1.180905.036 (OTA version, from same Essential Developer Overview site listed above)
- ADB/fastboot files for your OS (I use Minimal ADB from https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790)
- Android Debugging enabled
- a good quality USB3 cable that provides both data & power
steps:
- back up anything you feel is important & move off of your phone
- reboot to bootloader (either via ADB commands or via holding VolDown during power on)
- ensure your phone is recognized by running fastboot devices
- unpack the NMK24B zip file & place it in same folder as your ADB/fastboot files
- run flashall.bat (if on Windows, command varies for your desktop OS)
- wait
- place the modem files into your ADB/fastboot folder as well
- flash the modem files (fastboot flash modemst1 modemst1.img followed by fastboot flash modemst2 modemst2.img)
- if you receive a message stating unable to flash modem partitions, you may need to reflash NMK24B again. otherwise, the modem files will not take properly
- reboot to recovery
- to be safe, I performed a factory reset here, may not be necessary for your scenario
- place the OTA zip file into your ADB/fastboot directory
- select option to install via sideload
- install Sept 2018 Pie PPR1.180905.036 via adb sideload PH1-OTA-PPR1.180905.036.zip
- allow time to complete & boot
NOTE: during the entire process, I had removed my SIM & placed in a different device
after the long boot-up, I was greeted with the Android setup where I connected to my WiFi network
I chose to not copy any data & set up as new. I also let the phone sit charging & on wifi for ~30 mins
I powered off, inserted my SIM & found that it was no longer rejecting it. I also verified my APN settings were correct for T-Mobile. I received a few SMS messages during this period & felt confident service was working properly.
because I like a clean configuration, I went ahead & performed a factory reset from inside Android settings menu, rebooted & began setting up from a previous backup
thanks to everyone that was able to provide much needed help. I hope the rest of you are just as lucky with regaining service on your phone

Thanks Jon -
My mother in law just had the same experience after being on a non-sprint network for 3 months. Today she got the INVALID SIM alert. I noticed under the About phone tab that there was a new header called Brand and it had Sprint below it. I called Sprint and they confirmed the phone was fully unlocked and ready for domestic and international use. I emailed Essential and got a generic response:
Hi there,
Thanks for reaching out. This error message indicates that this device was originally purchased from Sprint and never properly unlocked from their network. The recent update didn't lock the phone directly, but rather was just a trigger for the device to check its carrier-lock status.
If you are the original purchaser, and you have fulfilled all of your contract obligations with Sprint, you should be able to contact them to have the device properly unlocked.
If you purchased second-hand, the seller did not have this device unlocked from Sprint before selling it to you. We recommend seeking a return / refund, as this device will not be able to function on a different carrier. Unfortunately, Essential has no ability to remove carrier locks on devices. This can only be done by Sprint by the original purchaser of the device. If you are unable to get a refund or exchange, we suggest filing a dispute with the marketplace (e.g. eBay), as this device was sold to you with a carrier lock.
Sincerely,
Essential
Essential Customer Experience Team
What a generic response. I even noted that I verified with Sprint that the phone was fully unlocked. Now she has no backup and we're in the midst of a storm that can potentially take out her landline. Essential team really dropped the ball on this.

that's the exact same response I received from Support when I reached out to them. I didn't want to wait for Sprint or my seller to confirm the unlock status so I decided to reattempt flashing again. thankfully, I wasn't too invested into the setup yet & was able to accept the resets that occur during flashing.
Sorry to hear about your current situation, I hope Essential is able to identify a fix for everyone that's affected

If you are unable to flash certain partitions, you may need to perform a flash critical_unlock. I'll share the actual command when i return to my PC but the command should also be listed in other threads here

So fellow essential owners -
If you complain to sprint about your problem (or just tell what it is, really) and then tell them you don't feel like you should be paying for anything - they will let you do the One free year of service bring your own device promotion! Doesn't matter what service it is - as long as your number is eligible to be ported you get one free year of sprint service. I chose to go to the sprint store to get my sim card (so i can use my essential today) and they waved the sim card fee and sprint called me back and set it up! Now I have my essential phone back! It's marvelous! I bought a temporary phone for a couple hundred and I immediately missed my essential thank goodness i can return the other phone. It works out! Just make sure your number is active so you can port it. Free service for A YEAR, legitimately, if you do it right. I have total equipment protection on for 13 a month but you can turn it off at any time. Just a heads up! It's worth switching to sprint for me to keep my essential working, i have my old number, and possibly a better carrier.

Emergency Calls Only after flashing with Odin (IMEI Status: NG)

Hello, apologies for the lengthy post.
I bought a used G780F, noticed it was rooted after taking home, but no big deal. Tried flashing it with Odin with HOME CSC, but it got stuck in a bootloop so I had to factory reset it, but it managed to update and everything was fine until I noticed emergency calls only...
I checked the IMEI status on my countries website, it was blocked for not being registered, so the carrier unblocked it and I just had to wait to get signal again. It's been a week since it got unblocked, so I should be getting service. The carrier told me it's unlocked so it's likely an issue with the phone, and I believe so too. My IMEI and S/N show up fine when using *#06#, I've basically tried every fix except Chimera tool as the license is way too expensive for me right now. Any help or advice would appreciated, thanks so much!

Well, I have the same exact issue.
I found out that this is a live demo unit that has been modified to run on a fake IMEI number to make calls.
My concern was that the root was interfering with my banking app and so I had to flash a new firmware to remove the root.
Interestingly, when I tried to remove it prior to flashing it kept coming back everytime I reboot the phone.

I literally did the same, but I already knew that my phone is a Live Demo, and I took my chances and got Status NG, so I re Rooted the phone and went to a Software Shop that fixed the IMEI for 5$, and yesterday I updated the Magsik App and got the IMEI Status back and looking for what the shop did, as I confirmed he didn't use Chimera tool
