It's clear indication of wrong port or bad drivers. Try to install drivers again.. you might upgrade to 5.0 and see if you get baseband back.
Good luck

problem can be QCN, firmware, hardware

OK. I restored a G900A EFS and can now read ID, but now get an error at 'Reading ESN'

I've tried almost everything to restore it. I don't believe it's hardware as the previous owner said 'it was working but something went wrong during the update', which is pretty vague but I'm confident it's repairable.

Things I've tried:
-Full flash to 5.0, full flash back to 4.4.2
-Wipe EFS with ADB, wipe EFS with Odin, reset EFS with Z3X, wipe EFS with Z3X (didn't work as per latest log)
-Restored modem + 3 EFS parts from working G900F and G900A
-Flashed G900F, G900A and G900W8 QCN with Z3X, no change. Tried with QPST but errors out.

Only thing I haven't tried is a fresh G900W8 full EFS but I cannot find one. Any members kind enough to provide EFS backup of efs.img.ext4, nvrebuild1 and 2?

krazykipa · 05-20-2015, 23:00

Blang, any idea on the error in my latest log? Why is the software trying to read the ESN when wiping EFS?
