Even if nougat update is out..Will it be possible to flash it via custom recovery?

Exactly. It's the full rom with the latest update I asked for not OTA.

If I buy a network locked S7 would flashing firmware unlock it?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] CuBz90:
No
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Shipoftheline:
I ask because it has worked on other Samsungs, how sure are you?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] CuBz90:
I'm pretty sure.

Not sure how it has worked on previous devices as flashing firmware and a SIM lock are completely different.

P.S. Hello fellow Salfordian ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Shipoftheline:
Last time I know it worked for sure was on an old Galaxy Ace, after the flash it accepted any sim/network
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] CuBz90:
Strange. The OS and the Sim lock are completely different so the flash of a new firmware shouldn't affect the Sim Lock
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Tectas:
For sure you're right, but if hes talking about the first gen galaxy ace, it's a low budget phone released at 2011 so maybe, much happened since then. Anyways I can confirm myself that it doesn't work at least since the galaxy s3.

[LG Optimus 4X HD] DJ_Asterix:
Hello!

I need a "donor" dump of NVA section from working device.

Dump is needed to restore IMEI, after a full "brikking".

Unfortunately, I do not have a backup NVA section of my device.

Dumping can be done by moving the device in the APX (nvflash) mode.

1. Remove the battery.

2. Press both Volume + and Volume - and then insert a usb cable.

3. The system should appear "APX device". (If not, repeat step 2)

4. Insert the battery into place.

5. Install the driver from the "apx_device_drivers" folder (it may be necessary to temporarily disable digital signature verification of drivers)

6. Run "make_NVA_dump.bat"

In "nvflash" folder appears "NVA.img" file.

If you know how to edit IMEI in "img" file, do it by replacing your IMEI to fake data.

Download "make_NVA_dump.zip" from there "https://mega.nz/#!UANnnL6K!JkDlsf28HuD_j7gbRzJQ-bjddo-WbqkVGdvmHBDH5Gw"

I unbrick my LGO4XHD with nvflash tool from this post

http://xdaforums.com/optimus-4x-hd/general/maybe-nvflash-method-t3159853

but i not backup all data and lost IMEI :silly:

BEFORE you start unbricking try backup all partitions from your device!!!!

Set device into APX mode (how to: see first post)

See the folder "Final/nvflash" in "P880 nvFlash tool(Recovery tool).zip"

nvflash --help list all commands

read current partitions list from your device

nvflash --blob blob.bin --bl bootloader.bin.encrypt --getpartitiontable pt.txt --go

after executing open pt.txt

partition list from pt.txt must be equil with list from flash.cfg

and backup all partitions using this command list

nvflash --blob blob.bin --bl bootloader.bin.encrypt --read 2 bct.img --go

nvflash --blob blob.bin --bl bootloader.bin.encrypt --read 3 pt.img --go

nvflash --blob blob.bin --bl bootloader.bin.encrypt --read 4 ebt.img --go

nvflash --blob blob.bin --bl bootloader.bin.encrypt --read 20 udb.img --go

nvflash --blob blob.bin --bl bootloader.bin.encrypt --read 21 gpt.img --go

copy twice all new .img files :)

after that return to "Final" folder and start Nvflash#1(encrypt).bat

OMG, its back to life... but still dont have a baseband or imei. At least its progress... any ideias how to get back the imei and baseband. (yes i edited the NVA with my imei)

edit:

im trying to restore the other partitions but the command u gave its not working for the others.

for instance:

nvflash --blob blob.bin --bl bootloader.bin.encrypt --download 2 bct.img --go

it gives error: command 15 NvError 0x120002

for bct try to use command

nvflash --blob blob.bin --bl bootloader.bin.encrypt --bct bct.img --setbct --go
[LG Optimus 4X HD] DJ_Asterix:
I think that WordPad not suitable for editing IMG files.

Use any HEX editor, for example "HxD Hex Editor" (searching it in network)

Please, "xtribas" , can you send me the NVA without editing from WordPad or edit it in HEX editor.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] xtribas:
Ok, just edited with hex editor replaced the imei with XXXX.

I have the same problem

KDZ or DZ flashing tool stop at 10 % with error 207

While flashing with KDZ or DZ tool, flash process contains from 2 steps....

1. Flashing HardWare info, BaseBand and other data from combined.fls from DZ file using IntelFlashUtil protocol

2. Flashing Boot, Recovery and System imeg's using nvflash util protocol (nv3p)

Stop at 10% take place at the first step. I don't know error reason ("it's magik").

I think the reason in lost IMEI, but it seem not truth (maybe)

I compared NVA which you editing with WordPad and last and they are differ.

[LG Optimus 4X HD] GoodSoul:
Guys,

the file NVA.img, starting offset 0x08. I still see a IMEI Nr (or is it a Bluetooth Nr?!). I have exchanged the Nr. with my IMEI number. Also, I searched for "XXXXXXX" and replaced all X's with my IMEI number (0x800). But what to do now?

I currently don't know the correct cmd to flash the nva partition, any help is appreciated.

Special request for [MENTION=5026984]xtribas[/MENTION]:

In case you get your device working again, could you - please! - remove all apps and account/imei settings from your recovered device, make a full backup as written in post #3 from [MENTION=7334055]DJ_Asterix[/MENTION] and provide the files zipped and uploaded to a hoster of your choice? That would be awesome. Thanks in advance!
[LG Optimus 4X HD] xtribas:
we are still far away from a solution to this. if we find it, we will share it of course

to flash the nva partition use:

nvflash --blob blob.bin --bl bootloader.bin.encrypt --download 14 nva.img --go

i used it but i did not get my imei or baseband back

A likely solution to the problem is the Octopus Box LG Software. Perhaps some local GSM service is able to help.

[LG Optimus 4X HD] DJ_Asterix:
:crying:

I have tried a lot of diffrent combinations with NVA.img (thanks xtribas for original image) but device continiously did not want to see the IMEI.

The best result of this "circus" - flashers like LGFlashTool or official LGMobile Support Tool starts see the IMEI when i try reflash KDZ or try repair after update errors. But they still "freeze" on 10% when they try flash the radiomodule

May be IMEI on NVA partitions used only for support tools.

May be IMEI must be flashed in EEPROM of the RadioModul but it corrupted and we have the "hell loop" - we can not flash the EEPROM because the IMEI corrupted and we can not flash IMEI because EEPROM corrupted.

[LG Optimus 4X HD] DJ_Asterix:
Did you use a simple USB cable without any resistors?

First 1. Remove the battery.

Try 2-nd step "Press both Volume + and Volume - and then insert a usb cable." - more carefully (with some greater effort pressing Volume buttons)

APX mode is a "hardware" and device must go to this mode from any state.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] UnspecifiedUser:
Yes, I used a simple USB cable. I have even tested several USB cables.

Difinitely a driver issue, your display is misaligned. It needs to be aligned correctly like older LCD monitors that had a menu for this. Try flashing a couple of ftfs, older kitkat and then 5.0 and then 5.1 to see if one of them has the correct firmware for your pannel.

If he really sends the device in and Google finds out HOW exactly the phone died, he might face severe consequences. It´s dishonest after all.

If you flash the wrong recovery for a different device, it´s your own bad luck. Now here´s the deal, you can still repair the device if a) Huawei would fix it or b) find a phone shop which could replace the motherboard. Once the Bootloader is bricked, there´s barely anything a regular user could do except for some complicated methods which require the knowledge and the special tools which most people don´t have.

Flashing the wrong recovery can and does cause such a brick, this is what you're experiencing. I've seen it happen on many devices, it borks the partition table.
