EMMC brick?

I was on a phone call suddenly phone turned off. Tried booting it it would go past the GOOGLE logo. I went into recovery but nothing is able to mount. Trying flashing stock img through TOOLKIT errors, I guess cause won't mount. Any solutions? I heard it might be the EMMC chip?

Try flashing the factory images manually

Tried it and nothing. It's just not able to write into the system, fails everytime. I appreciate your help. LG G2 is next I guess.

I think so. Do you know the reason for it? Do you think it was because i had the XPOSED framework mod?

I use Xposed framework, I don't see that being the issue and how it could cause a hardware failure. I have heard this issue before when tons of people had their S3 died suddenly, there is a big thread of it in its forum.
You'll probably want to wait for the Nexus 5.

Well it would be better if you have a backup phone. It will be based on the LG G2 and gsmarena.com even post is specs, but until it's officially announced by Google it's all speculation.
You could use get the G2, but since it's not the nexus you won't get the same software experience and developer support, price is a big deal as well. Also rumor is the Nexus 5 will support all LTE bands, but that's to be seen.

So this happened to my phone. Brought it to a repair shop and said the EMMC was dead.
Long story short, credit card company refunded the purchase price, I bought a Nexus 5, but I still kept the dead Nexus 4.
Is it possible to buy a replacement part/motherboard to replace this, or is it completely shot (fine with that)?
If it is dead, I was going to recycle it or offer it up for parts. With an EMMC brick, is there anyway to recover any of my personal information that was on the phone?
Thanks!

You'd have to get a new motherboard. Check eBay. No way to get your info off out that I know.
Out of curiosity, what were your symptoms of the phone?. Did you ever try to lock the bootloader and it wouldn't lock?

Motherboard ~$100. Might give it try. The teardown instructions dont' seem too daunting. Do I have to worry about this IMEI stuff?
As for symptoms. I was completely stock, and locked bootloader. I was doing something and then it froze on me.
Went to reboot, and it was stuck on the boot animation (merging dots).
Ended up trying a tool kit to flash the phone. It worked, got back into the system and as it was downloading apps, it froze again.
This time, when I went to reflash, it would error would error with a "failure to write to flash".

Honestly, you'd need some one to send you their EFS backup (who's on the same carrier and model). Then you'd need to extract it. Then edit it to replace their data with yours.
But I don't think your going to find anyone willing to do that. As it's a HUGE risk to them. So I think your only bet it to to a warranty or repair 'call' with lg if not your carrier.

IMEI NULL and Baseband Unknown - Note3 n9005 with KitKat

Hi guys,
I red the whole world about finding a solution for my issue, but didn't find anything that worked. I've got my note 3 n9005 flashed with stock 4.4 and the IMEI is showing null and the Baseband is unknown. I red that the IMEI restoring is done through the EFS folder somehow, but unfortunately I don't have it backed up Didn't find anything about the Baseband as well.
Could you guys help me get my note fixed.
Thanks in advance.

SOLUTION:
After investigating my issues forever I finally found out that my note was a Demo version. The guy that sold it to me lied about it, but anyway I returned it to him.
You can check if yours is a demo when disassemble it. You need to be looking for an antenna (it's a long wire coming from the back-right-bottom of the phone, going to the top of it). Unfortunately I deleted my photos showing where the antenna is, but you could search in google. If there is no such wire, your unit is most probably a demo phone.

Anyway while waiting, do you think there is a way of flashing the SD card itself with the required files from an original or custom rom.
I mean, if I unzip the rom, will I find the files that I need there?
This might be a stupid question, but might be worth asking it.

There is a t-flash method, but we tried it and it didn't work over in the t mobile section. The problem being is you have to use a working phone to do so, and it is always a risk to the other party.

Need a little help...

I accidentally messed around with my build.prop and mistyped something causing my phone to brick. So the problem atm is I can't even use my phone with messages popping up such as "Unfortunately the process com.android.systemui has stopped working" and "Unfortunately the process Home has stopped working." I tried to factory resetting which didn't work at all. Right now I am trying to fix it through flash but I can't since when I plug my USB into my computer, I can't changed my USB settings to MTP and since the messages shown above keeps popping up preventing me from clicking anything on my screen. Any help would be appreciated!

It is a modernised recovery menu,with easier,touch controls.
Basically a MUST when flashing roms.
I guess you dont have that...
Now the only thing you can do is flash the stock rom again with the kdz or tot method.
DO NOT TRY RESTORING IT WITH LG PC SUITE!
It will brick your device,because it had been rooted(LG made that on purpose-"kill dem rooted phones")

With all do respect.... I don't think he was bashing anyone....he was just saying he flashed a ROM that wasn't posted to XDA...more than likely there wasn't any other option to ask for help elsewhere since XDA is very helpful with responses from developers and others.

I was wondering if anyone that is overseas (outside america) could share an EFI backup partition with me so I can fix my phone. Maybe that would fix.

keep watching the echorom thread someone else had the issue as well.

I cant they banned me from seeing their forum when I reported the bug.

O I see. If something gets posted that might help I'll let you know. But 1 thing I saw already is trying to flash multiple times with Odin
It might not work the first time. Or the second... or the third. Try like 10 times in the mean time until someone can help. If all else fails there has to be a way to make a working imei again since you know it anyway

It was not because of unlock. My phone was already unlocked. It happened after flashing a bad rom.

write stock rom

This happened to me before in a old Tmobile S3 (T999) I had only edge network...
It was a headache and I was only able to put it back working going to a store that had BOX for flashing and do it myself with their box
and rewrite my IMEI manually during flash, as they were not able to do it (more say didn't have patience) .
I dunno if there is a easier way to do it... but this was how I fixed mine back then. But one thing is true, I lost a lot of time back then trying to fix it and if it happens me now again I would do a quick search and if not quick solution, try to find a guy that owns a box as it will literally save you days and sleep. However there are excellent devs around so they might be able to help..

Would u have any suggestions on where I could go to fix?

Quick question. What csc is in your phone now? Have to tried changing it again with a new one or the one that was originally on it when you got it? Like a flashable zip? Cos it looks like somehow the one you used must corrupt something in the efs... which is bizzare

I went to local store that usually unlocks/fixes phones, but I had a friend connection around.. hence they allowed me to go inside and do it myself.
Try to search 1st around if there is a solution, as it might be... I can't remember how it happened to my phone, but I was flashing lots of ROM without a problem and then it happened for some reason. There is a reason for it, however I couldn't find it as my knowledge is limited. I do remember that I tried, stock, odin, kies, whatever... and nothing worked until I went to try with a BOX.
IF you can't find a quick solution try to search around physical stores that flash phones, as they usually have a BOX and probably they might pull the S7 image already for their box... try to search a friendly one and take the purchase papers with you as most are not very comfortable with anything that might involve IMEI if you odn't know anybody.

It was the German based CSC
G935FDBT1APC5
However I flashed back STOCK which has
G935FNZC1APAX
The bizzare thing is my phone appears to still get a signal, but emergency calls only. When I #06# It shows 00000000000000 for 2 MEIDs. Which is weird as I don't have a dual sim model. This is even after Odin stock, no root.

Fair enough, I still have the original purchase, I got it from overseas, receipt, and sticker still on the phone. Even the box. at the same time i was wondering if anyone overseas, (not in the usa) would be willing to backup EFS and PM me with a G935F because I could use that meid in the usa. I have no intentions of going overseas to Europe anytime soon but I might go abroad if its oceana or Asia.
