From TWRP recovery choosing into backup only EFS
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] godzulu:
Thanks, had already done that and the files that it created didnt say modem.bin etc like it did when I backed up one my One a few months ago. Just want to make sure that what twrp created will be all i need to do? Thanks again
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] papoose515:
i lost my efs with no backup anyhelp?
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spannaa:
The last time I looked, the EFS backup option in TWRP didn't actually backup the two EFS partitions, so don't rely on it.

There's a flashable zip here that will backup your EFS partitions (modemst1 & modemst2). It also includes a Restore_EFS.bat file that can restore your EFS via fastboot.
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lockmunk:
yeah..i have backup EFS from twrp but only realize that the EFS backup from TWRP is not EFS, now my IMEI2 lost & i dont know how to solve it. really head ache
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akashpopat21:
I've done a complete device backup and could you tell me which files indicate efs has been backed up ? Is it modem.emmc.win or sbl1.emmc.win or some other file ?
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spannaa:
Did you read the last few posts?
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chxei:
there is one more option, you can backup via flashfire
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidlover123:
On creating a back up using TWRP it makes a file named "oem_stanvbk.emmc.win".... Maybe it is having two modems.....any idea how to explore this file? [MENTION=2948558]Spannaa[/MENTION]
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spannaa:
The oem_stanvbk partition contains the modem (static_nvbk.bin) which is included in OOS roms.

Not sure why you'd want to explore it...
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pryggi:
I guess they lost the imei2 (h2o/erase modemst) and they are trying to find out, if this twrp backup file contains the imei2.
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spannaa:
It doesn't, it's just the modem/radio.

AFAIK, the IMEIs are in modemst1 & modemst2 (The two modem firmware data partitions).
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pryggi:
Yep, this is my understanding too. On op2 the modem firmware is in

oneplus2:/ # ls -l /dev/block/platform/soc.0/f9824900.sdhci/by-name

..

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 1970-08-26 21:51 modem -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p1

And the modem settings/imeis are in:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 1970-08-26 21:51 modemst1 -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p17

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 1970-08-26 21:51 modemst2 -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p18

The question is, if it is possible to figure out the format of the data on p17/p18 and edit it by adding the imei2 back.

It doesn't seem to be a file system:

Oneplus2:/ # fdisk -l /dev/block/mmcblk0p17

Disk /dev/block/mmcblk0p17: 1 MB, 1572864 bytes

4 heads, 16 sectors/track, 48 cylinders

Units = cylinders of 64 * 512 = 32768 bytes

Device /dev/block/mmcblk0p17: doesn't contain a valid partition table

file -L /dev/block/mmcblk0p17

/dev/block/mmcblk0p17: block special

and

blkid -o value -s TYPE /dev/block/mmcblk0p17

does not return anything.

And if you open the modemst1/2.bin files it seems to be binary data, which does not make sense even in hex editor.

I wonder if oneplus staff could help the poor souls who have lost the imei2 and disclose this info how to get imei2 back...

[LG G Flex 2] Rizera:
Hi guys!

I bought one of those LG G Flex 2 H950 @ US$249 on eBay from Qualitycellz. However, my unit seems to have some issues...

It does not matter what I am doing on my phone, does not matter whether I am using a SIM-card or not (I tried the phone with and without Sim-Card), my phone keeps rebooting on various situations, meaning that there is no pattern or logic on those restarts. Usually I am just casually using my LG G Flex 2 and bang, the phone restarts. I can't find any meaning at all. I have looked it up but I could not find anyone with a similar issue, nor a solution.

What makes it even more crazy is the fact that I have tried numerous factory resets, as well as installing a new ROM! (I have installed the H950PR 5.1.1 ROM over the 5.0.2 AT&T one), however the phone is still not working properly. I could swear the problem was the ROM, but it looks like it is not.

What can I do about it?! I live overseas so returning the phone to get a new one is not an option, and warranty for LG is not international :crying:

Thank you and best regards.
[LG G Flex 2] Ace42:
The phone has a hardware defect most likely. I had this problem with my G2 a few months after I purchased it. Regardless of temp or ROM the phone would reboot all the time.

It was never resolved, actually got worse ha-ha. Sometime in Aug or July it stopped going into the OS so I started disassembling it out of frustration. Also linked the wrong post.

I also bought an lg g flex 2 from ebay user qualitycellz. I also do not live in the US. My phone started doing these resets and it got to the point at which it gave up and just wont start... (It tries and tries again until i plug it in or it runs out of charge). There seems to be something dodgy with the seller and I will be emailing him regarding the issue.

Lg flex 2 restarting problem

I tried a lot of things but now i am sure this is a battery problem ,i noticed that when i charge my phone to 100 percent it started normally so every time i charge it all the way to 100 percent it works and when i dont it just restarts so you have 2 options to replace the battery or charge your phone fully every time

Hope this one helped
[LG G Flex 2] spikyshotgun:
My G flex 2 also started doing the same. Seller was also the same qualitycellz from ebay.
[LG G Flex 2] le grande magnetto:
My flex2 also started random reboots. Once mainboard was changed because there was bootloop issue, but now its a bit different. Also a bit over one year with a new board.. Maybe the reason of it is battery because its quite old. well, I need to wipe it clean just in case.

[LG G Flex 2] refrain545:
I have the same issues with my LG Flex 2 (LG-H950) phone. Also purchased from Ebay seller Qualitycellz. Does anyone think it's kind of weird timing that a few months ago the seller was trying to buy these back and now peoples phones won't turn on? I'll just say I had some other concerns about this phone and will never buy another from a 3rd party. I contacted LG who told me it carried a 1YR warranty and they will fix it for $149. That makes me mad since others were getting them fixed under warranty after 1YR. I reached out to the seller, not for a refund, just to ask if he had any LG contacts I could use to try to get it fixed as its an issue happening with many of these phones and he did not reply. Honestly, I'm disappointed that the phone didn't last very long but I mostly want access to what I had stored on it (important photos etc). Since it uses internal memory is there anyway I can get this phone going again without losing my information on it?
[LG G Flex 2] whatamouth:
I have H950 with the same problem. I thought it was the battery so I got it replaced, it didn't solve the problem.

So I tried rooting the phone and install an app named "No Frills CPU Control" (needs root access) and set the following settings

- Max Clock Freq = default (1555Mhz)

- Minimum Clock Freq = 600Mhz

- Governor = Performance

- I/o Scheduler = deadline

I noticed that my battery gets drain a bit faster, but the frequency of reboot has been minimized.

I got my T-Mobile Wing a month ago and I really like it alot now. But I was wondering how do I start customizing and changing the interface? Simple things like for starters changing the color of my interface? How or where should I go to start customizing my phone?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Cavey.co.uk:
The T-Mobile Wing isn't a Hermes, it's a Herald.

A good place to start is the XDA-Dev wiki -

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Herald

as it covers most things. After that, read through the Herald forums and see what other tricks are out there.

You might also want to pay attention to the Wizard and Hermes forums as they will be mostly compatible, but compatibility would not be guaranteed.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] galva:
Are you serous! I've been in the wrong forum all this time! Thanks!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Cavey.co.uk:
Yup. The Hermes on T-Mobile is the MDA Vario II ;)

And the keyboard slides out the other way.

Which does yours look most like? This?

This is a Herald -

Yours may not look identical, but different suppliers have different fronts on them - a Trion from O2 and the TyTN from HTC are both Hermes, but they look reasonably different. However, these differences are almost entirely cosmetic.

And if you look at the Wiki the Herald is also known as....

HTC P4350

Dopod C800

Dopod C858

O2 XDA terra

Vodafone VPA compact IV

T-Mobile Wing

As if it wasn't confusing enough, eh?

(Perhaps a forum admin needs to add them to the Herald forum description...)

LG d415 "no command" need help

Ok so I would like to start of by saying im not very advanced with rooting but I know my way around it.

So I rooted my phone and it was successful. But I was trying to change the stock emoji and the guide was actually put out pretty well. But then I wanted to change the system folder permissions and I made the mistake by I guess changing it to something that shouldn't have been set to and my screen went black. So I rebooted my phone and noticed it was in a boot-loop(sort of). I think I made a huge mistake by factory resetting and also wiping my dating from recovery. I'm not sure if that removed USB debugging but when I go into adb and open up the command prompt my phone connects but no files actually show up.

Sorry if its a little confusing. But I really need to know if i can fix this and if you need further details ill try my best to to provide them.

Oh and btw the little robot is knocked out with "No Command" and a orange triangle.
