Hello all SGS3 users.
I have a strong issue on my branded Samsung I9300. When I browse the /efs folder (with Root Explorer for example), I notice a strange thing.
Two files are changed every hour (the date and the time). Revelant files are : nv_data.bin & nv_data.bin.md5
I know it's important files (including IMEI number and other important information). I have already make backup.
I said that my phone work properly with the right IMEI number, but I'm afraid to turn off my phone not to stop writing files.
Have you ever heard of this ?
Note : I use I9300XXBLG8/I9300OXABLG8 PDA/CSC. I have try to unlock my phone with Voodoo unlocker (thanks supercurio) with previous firmware. When I upgrade my phone to LG8 (and loose my unsimlock), I haven't try to fix Voodoo issue. I have the same network provider as the phone.
Note 2 : I'm sorry for my bad skill in english
just check on mine and it seems to do the same thing
It should come from the new samsung "feature" that make voodoo unlock useless for now
Do not be worry: I have turned my phone off a few times since I flashed LG8 without issue
Thank you for your reply.
If I can restard my phone without issue, it's a good news.
Can you just watch what happens in "nv.log". In my case, no record about it.
same thing: not listed in nv.log
I have upgrade my modem OTA (with the LH1 available today).
It does change this issue.
Others are in this situation ? (I think of guys who don't have try unlock their phones with software hacks)

As you have already stated in your post EFS folder contains important information such as IMEI number, Phone number and other details...the nv_data.bin file changes it size as the time passes... it is a known behaviour and is not a bug..backup your efs partition on to external medium and restore when required...

Thanks for your answer. I have already make backup with Toolkit v4.0 and EFS Pro 1.8.
Hello.
I recently modified my s5830i (Samsung Galaxy Ace) with different ROMs. After some modding I did see that i could not call. When i tried to call it came up with the message "Mobile network not available". After some research and stuff i figured out that it was a problem with my IMEI or EMF. I did check my emf folder in my device and saw that it did not contain any content, whole folder was empty. Now my question is; Can I somehow restore it? I have mt IMEI number but not any file for the folder. If anyone can help me I would be very thankful!

Unfortunately XDA doesn`t allow IMEI modifications talks, we can`t take responsibility to advise you on your matter, IMEI changes are illegal , we have no prove whether the device you`re trying to change the IMEI has been stolen or not.
You better ask for help at a service center which actually can solve this on legal terms .
Thanks for understanding

Hi! if I have a contact uploaded with the entire phone number, I mean with the country code, when receiving a call it shows the number but not the contact name ... I have to edit the number ... this happens since the last update ... It will be a configuration problem?

I answered this on another thread. https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a3/help/caller-identified-t4154563
Try opening up the permissions for contacts and phone app and make sure it has storage permission enabled
