n910t efs wipe not working

[smsprepaids]

trying to wipe efs on n910 (note 4) z3x not working for me not saying it doesnt, just possibly not doing a extra step unknown to me, ive tried wiping in adb using partition wipe commands, have not found right combination yet the partitions are bigger my guess a beefed up security to prevent efs wipe
if anyone has any suggestions or ideas on this i would like to hear every ones
input

Please don't go around wiping any ole partitions. One of them may be your bootloader (ask me how I know...lol) and then you'll have an even bigger problem on your hands: a hard brick. With that in mind you must know what you're looking for. Most likely it's 3 EFS data partitions as it's been for MOST phones. They are modemst1, modemst2, and FSG. Wipe these either through adb with root or download mode, and your efs is set to default.

Not too sure how much experience you have with CDMA phones but some of them don't even have a modemst1, modemst2 or FSG partition(s). Instead they have m9kefs partitions. I was googling N910T partitions to get an idea of where to look on the N915T and saw that they might've went back to an old standard of naming EFS partitions (the m9kefs naming...or something along those lines). If you're trying to do it manually through adb or Heimdall (download mode) at least now you have direction instead of shooting at partitions in the dark.

Then what I saw is accurate for the N910x partitions. You need to wipe more than those 3 partitions. There should be another mdm****** partition for a total of four partitions. Wipe that one too.

Happy thanksgiving guys
ive been doing note 4 for about a month
ready for the note 4 knowledge
you only need to wipe 2 partitions
mdm1m9kefs1 &
mdm1m9kefs2
but you guys tried to wipe this and original imei is still there correct??
HERES SOLUTION its cf autoroot that cause the problem it flashed a modified cache and recovery in your firmware you need to find corresponding firmware of phone your using turn the md5 odin file into a zip and extract the recovery img and cache file and create a odin flashable of the stock system recovery and cache
I have created file for n910t already if its needed
now you have all original partitions and rooted system
now try to wipe efs it will be SUCCESSFULL
when the ***** on the other foot I expect in return lol
EFS WONT WIPE ON NOTE 4 WITH MODOFIED PARTITONS

Sorry in efs
mdm1m9kefs1
mdm1m9kefs2
mdm1m9kefs3
& mdm1m9kefsfc
needs to be wiped if your doing it manuaully
I repeat do not wipe the efs /dev/block/mmcblk0p13

ok thanks for clarifying i do need to wipe all 4 again after restoring recovery and cache partitions due to cf. also i never wipe actual efs partition that has many bad affects

[johndoe0626]

exactly
wipe all 4
after restoring
let me know your success .
Now we need someone to show us the easy way to repair these
wipe through download mode & write cert thru uart I know someone who does n910a repair he doe it in about 2 min and thats his method
no rooting no finding firmwares. no bs
