That's why TWRP is the easiest way to restore.

I don't know what you consider "Full". When you do backups and restores it lists all the partitions and defaults to whatever you backed up last, but you can select and deselect partitions as you wish.

I keep a backup of only the EFS for all three of our devices on Google Drive for just in case.

Just try a restore and see if it lists EFS as one of the partitions you can restore. If not, don't bother. If it does, deselect all other partitions and only select EFS to restore that.
[Verizon LG G3] mc1175:
Really beating myself up, I could have sworn that when I took backups I selected every single box. I had 3 TWRP backups and none had EFS partitions included. I guess I'll have to find another way.
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Oh, sorry to hear that! For what it's worth, you could take a look at the new thread posted in the General section with "DIAG" in the thread title. I've never had to restore my IMEI by any method, but the OP says that his findings might help with restoring the IMEI, although I know he mentions QPST which I believe is what others used to manually put their IMEI back in too, so I have no idea if there's a difference or improvement to it with what he reveals. I know there are other threads in either the Verizon G3 General and/or Q&A sections or the non-Verizon sections having to do with restoring IMEI using the Windows software. Good luck in your quest.
[Verizon LG G3] mc1175:
That article worked like a charm! IMEI restored just like it said. Oddly enough the SIM card still seems to eject randomly (no sim error), but the phone can now make calls and when the error does occur a reboot usually fixes it. At this point it's seeming like a hardware problem, but the only method I have of testing that is sending it back to LG which is an idea I'm not particularly fond of. I've done a bit of looking around and it seems I'm not nearly the only one with this issue on the G3:

https://www.reddit.com/r/LGG3/comments/4edhs1/sim_not_readable_and_no_sim_found_vs985/

https://community.verizonwireless.com/thread/832587

Both of those were just for the VS985, let alone dozens of others for the T-mo and ATT variants. Not sure whether to be relieved or disappointed but I suppose I'm at the next step. Any other info would be helpful.
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
A lot of people with this trouble solved it by exchanging their SIM card at a Verizon store. As far as I know it was free to do so. However, there have been others for whom this didn't solve anything.

It's funny, this thread was started by someone else and others besides you had commented with the same issue but only one of the four others has followed up after suggestions are made. ☺️

Make that EFS backup and store it securely!
[Verizon LG G3] jlb1959.01:
well if someone solved the SIM problem i would love to hear it,i have been thru 4 SIM cards,2 brand new vs985 and all of them have the exact same problem,i was soo worried i screwed up my phone(was rooted) that i unrooted,stated all over again with 10b,in between rerooting i lost the SIM signal,long story short,im on my 4th phone and have the sdame problem again,,yes i am stock 48a,and verizon claims only the lg4 has been troubled with the SIM card....still got 1 more year of the vs985 so kinda searching for a solution.as i said i was worried it was my flashing too much or anything to do with that but since this phone is 4 days old,with a new SIM i am at a total loss...thanks...
[Verizon LG G3] LT1UltraZ:
same probblem here...started few days ago on my G3....wtf
[Verizon LG G3] jlb1959.01:
bad news from lovely verizon, told me the update added security which conflicts with the SIM, so today i got my 5th phone in 10 days, honestly sick of the guess game from verizon, 5 SIM cards, 5th phone, dont even know who to trust, i spent 3 days wiping my phone from jasmine thinking i messed up, down graded to 10b,then took ota updates all the way to 48a,so verizon wouldnt bag me, and then they give me 4 more phones with the exact problem, now todays phone lasted 4 hrs and i list SIM again...
[Verizon LG G3] farhanmmsn:
I had same issue, but i could fix it by doing this

[youtube]zAWbmU8KxvU[/youtube]
[Verizon LG G3] Westcoast805:
Its a bad battery thats causing the no sim card found error. Phone wont operate properly under 3.7v. Go to your dialer and press *#*#4636#*#* then click on Battery Information.

To fix, what worked for me was turning off the phone, charging for 30 min then unplugging charger and then turning on phone. Another biggie to keep in mind is that the charger your using has a HUGE effect on how your battery life is eaten away during every charge so remember to try another charger if possible. It will have a roll in how much current is delivered to the battery during charging. Older battery using a fast charge charger will only get the battery hot and not maintain a solid 3.7v+ during use which will cause the sim card to lose its minimum power source of supply.

I love the G3, super solid phone. I just bought the V20 and love it just as much. Only thing is that the battery life is poor and it worries me that i might see this issue once again.

Hope this helps
[Verizon LG G3] iBolski:
Could this also cause an issue with SD cards getting unmounted? Not seeing g the sim card issue (only saw it once). The SD card does seem to eject when the back of the phone is hot.
[Verizon LG G3] restyle20:
I just tested , and when it is 3,6v sim is gone , i charge a bit and turn on phone , and sim is there. I will order battery now and see what is going on then. Thanks man i think you solve my problem. I even wanted to solder new simtray.
[Verizon LG G3] iBolski:
I don't think my issue with the SD card is due to the battery. The battery is reporting above 3.6v from what I can tell. So I'm assuming my battery is fine and the issue is with the SD Card slot itself. I know this was in regards to the SIM slot (not having issues with that), but I was hoping against hope that maybe, the battery was causing my issues with my SD card since my battery is almost 2 years old (it's the original battery that came with the phone).
[Verizon LG G3] eagle132:
I am having this same issue. Unfortunately my battery voltage is 4306 mV, so I don't believe the battery is the issue. Either way I will try my spare when I get home today. This suddenly happened today and is very frustrating :(
[Verizon LG G3] iBolski:
Sorry to hear about you experiencing what I did. Please let me know because it would be interesting to know if it truly is my battery. I've held onto the G3. Just haven't had the heart to dispose of it yet. Happy with my S7, but impatiently waiting for Big Red to release Nougat for it. Word has it that the battery saving options in Nougat have improved the battery life on the S7.
[Verizon LG G3] toy028:
My wifes phone has this issue. I believe its heat that's causing it. It only happens when she is playing games for awhile. The phone is hot when it happens.

We have a new sim ready to put in and I'm going to do the heatsink mod when i get a chance.

SOLVED

*** SOLVED ***

I had the same problem for about three months. My LG G3 gives me a message informing that there's no SIM CARD ou the network was unavaliable, and then after 10 seconds, it reboot. Doing this several times a day. After a lot of effort, factory reseting, upgrading android OS, installing APPs, changing the battery for a new one, smashing the phone against the wall (kidding), I could solve the problem in the stupiest way. The phone vibrates, and with this the screws on the back got loose. The chip lost contact and generate the problem.

I opened the phone (removing the back case) and screw tightened the screws. Boom! Problem solved! No more SIM card errors, no more reboots. No more WIFI conectivity problems!

Solution: Open the back case, and screw the screws very tight.
[Verizon LG G3] iBolski:
Glad it worked for you. For me, I had taken the phone apart multiple times and have tightened the screws so I know this wouldn't have fixed my issue. As it is, since December, I've been on a Samsung S7 and loving it. Still miss my G3. Wish I could have made it work as a backup phone but I've replaced the battery, etc and nothing fixed it. Definitely the SD Card slot was bad as my issue was with the SD card, but I was starting to see SIMM card issues as well.
[Verizon LG G3] cap1tal1sm:
Is there any accepted common solution to this? I often have to pull my battery when restarting and now I'm randomly getting this error for some reason.
[Verizon LG G3] Ovanos:
I think the problem is in the Network system app, I found this temporary solution of going to the application manager, show sys apps, scroll down to the Network app, force stop it and clear cache then restart the phone. This works for me every time, BUT now it only works for a few seconds to a minute, then I get the "Invalid card" error again. I thought it was the heat, but I made sure to keep my phone cool, and I still get this error.

I tried the paper solution, that didnt work at all. And also the hidden menu solution where you choose the network type, which worked at first but then stopped working entirely and the phone would start and give me the error right away.

So when I read this reply (the part in bold)

my suspicions are sort of confirmed, it IS a software issue and not a hardware one. Now it would be nice if some developer could spare the time and help us with this.
[Verizon LG G3] jlb1959.01:
wow,,I am the 1st to say I'm glad someone found something,I've been thru multiple phones now,wife's as well.each time vzw gave me the same answers,,basicky blaming new updates,and heat,so as many others I was thinking I somehow screwed it up on my own,but when the wife's unroofed phone screwed up I kinda knew it wasn't heat,or rooting/flashing issues..

glad a step in the right direction,now what to do......
[Verizon LG G3] cap1tal1sm:
I find if you pull the battery it will be a temporary solution for a little while as well. I don't think I've updated my system in a while, I'm on XDABEBBS 3.1 and haven't gotten a new rom in over a year and a half now.

Anyone else trying to get the Pixel 2 XL? Do you know if our G3 has any trade-in value? My screen is flawless.

I just tried force stopping and clearing the cache of the Network system app, will let you know if it works or not.

edit: Nothing seems to work, I tried the paper, I tried the Network system app. My suspicion is it is a heat-related issue.

Sim/sd crad/wifi/screen flicker/sensor fixes

Hi everyone. I have had the LG G3 since March 2015 and I had all the issues mentioned (screen flicker, no SIM, no SD Card, heating up). After numerous experiments my G3 is still going strong with the same battery from 2015 (battery loses 1% power every 7 hours on standby). It's NOT hardware and its NOT software and its NOT battery. It is TERRIBLE DESIGN in placing the VOLUME buttons chassis next to the DOUBLE SIM/SD CARD slot. What I did is take 2 slim rubber feet (3-4mm) from a laptop (they have sticky bottoms) and placed them in the GAP when you open the phone and take off the motherboard (the GAP on the plastic case behind the upper part of the screen (its shaped the same size of the bottom processor). These feet put pressure on the whole upper board so when you screw on the CAMERA/VOLUME BUTTON chassis it places pressure on the entire components of the motherboard underneath this top chassis (thats why the paper trick works because it places pressure on the components). The paper trick stops working because paper flattens under pressure (which is why I used rubber feet).

Secondly, take off the silver heat-sink underneath the VOLUME BUTTONS and cut out a business card paper size of that processor and place it on top of that processor - you can apply thermal paste if you want but the paper will separate contact between the chip and SILVER HEAT-SINK. Now here is the trick. You have to regulate the PRESSURE of this entire setup using the SCREW next to the BOTTOM VOLUME BUTTONS(tighten it all the way and test, not working then loosen it so the whole chassis lifts, not working then loosen it more). Why did this work. Because stupid LG does not manufacture the ALIGNMENT of the GOLD BATTERY PINS perfectly with the VOLUME BUTTONS and SIM/SD CARD. I checked other LG's and many of them have the GOLD PINS at an ANGLE with the VOLUME BUTTONS chassis HIGHER and the SIM/SD SLOT LOWER. What I did was ALIGN all three together. If I screw it tighter I lose SIM CARD, IF I screw it too loose I lose SD CARD, if I screw it too tight the screen flickers. This worked for many months until I started getting SENSOR problems (I used to rub the screen on my jumper to clean it but the phone started to think I put it in my pocket and would not DOUBLE TAP ON - so I placed a piece of paper on the SENSOR - same size - and this fixed this issue). You can experimenting first with loosening or tightening the BOTTOM VOLUME screw. Also check that your SD CARD GOLD PINS have not been BENT (take out SIM card and have a look - if any of them are bent - showing a misaligned gap then just use a NEEDLE to lift it up so it makes contact with SD CARD). Also if you get WIFI problems then place a piece of BUSINESS CARD same size as small connector block to camera (with copper color ribbons coming out of it). All these steps are pressure points on the motherboard using the phones body/chassis. Hope this helps.

When I said 3-4mm that is the HEIGHT of the rubber feet. The width can be wider the the processor GAP width.
[Verizon LG G3] cap1tal1sm:
I went to Verizon, got a new SIM, and it's working fine now.

So that's my suggestion to everyone who is continuing to have problems. I had my same phone + sim for 3.5 years so it just got old.
[Verizon LG G3] Why-Fi:
Powering up in safe mode has been the most consistent temp fix for me. most times it will read sim and connect to network, but if my signal is weak and I restart, it won't connect until it gets 2 or 3 bars.

have flashed good efs, flashed modem, bootstack, dirty flashed roms, clean flashed, started new, Used backups from drive, flashed perfectly working complete backups through recovery, lte, global....rewritten my IMEI and meid...... and with every avenue I've attempted THE only constant is safe mode. The com.android.phone will toast when anr for background apps is enabled through developer options but only in occasion. Any thoughts?

---------- Post added at 04:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:33 AM ----------

The sin cards aren't removed and replaced near enough to warrant shimming them.
[Verizon LG G3] Omar J Jordan:
Yes. In the beginning of my experiments everything would work fine until I got an email or a download from Google Play and then all hell broke loose again (screen flicker and fade, screen blackout followed by loss of wi-fi and then re-boot which resulted in return of wifi but loss of SIM Card 'NO SIM' message). I would apply different pressure points and everything would be okay again until another email or download started the same problems again). I then switched GPS to 'Device Sensors ONLY' (less load on CPU) which fixed screen flicker from downloads but NOT click-through on email message (i.e Ebay email that loads Ebay with images then CRASH - screen flicker, screen blackout etc). So it was obviously a CPU processor crash when OVERLOADED - despite CPU hertz being more than capable of handling normal load - still had 4 Gigs of empty RAM so no problem there - applied different pressure points then everything fine - this then points to processor soldering randomly losing contact with board - Why? - because processor heat causing cracks in soldering - only fix for this is reballing solder joints with heat gun - or pressure points). Your SAFE MODE obviously lessens CPU work load - less WORKLOAD more CONSISTENCY. Also in the beginning tried NEW SIMS from carrier but same problems continued until pressure points fix.
[Verizon LG G3] HB Spartan IV:
You are exactly right good sir. Putting some thin rubber pad between the gap and the motherboard was the missing piece of the puzzle.
