[SOLVED] Corrupted EFS partition

[ikonox]

HI

I have T-Mobile G3 (d851). I think I have corrupted my EFS partition while flashing Nimax 7.1 Beta ROM. Now I dont have Baseband ver, IMEI, IMEI SV, or any other number. My simcard is also not working.

I had backups with EFS, which I tried restoring. Doing that didnt bring IMEI or any information back, nor my simcard is working.

Any help with what to do?
[MENTION=42544]murtaza12[/MENTION] do you have any idea?

What format was your EFS backup in?
A TWRP backup?

Try going back to the stock Marshmallow D851 ROM, if baseband is restored, go and continue your rooting and ROM flashing, however if even a stock ROM flash doesn't restore anything, then RIP, EFS is gone.

It was backed up along with roms like Cyanogenmod, RRemix and one with Candy 7.1.
I also tried restoring original twrp backup of stock rom (made it the day I bought and rooted G3), even that didnt restore IMEI etc.

Looks like I am done because restoring stock twrp backup didnt help.

TWRP backup won't be of much help in this case.

Flash the entire stock ROM from scratch, including every single stock file.

[MENTION=42544]murtaza12[/MENTION] you are a lifesaver. Thank you PG.

Flashing stock software (d851-30d) restored all missing info and mobile network is also working again.
I ll make a separate EFS backup right now.

Close this thread please.
