Hi guys!
I just bought a SGS II I9100. I Rooted & install busy box. Then tried to unlock it with Galaxy s unlocker & GS II repair & it wiped the efs folder. Tried to replace it with the backup I made with the apps & NADA,KAPUT!!! The apps replaces the files in the folder but once I reboot they're gone!!!!!
Any idea how to fix this?????
THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!!

I know man but thats another thing I haven't been able to do. I tried to flash CWM via rom manager with no luck either. Do you know another way to flash CWM? Or a rom with it?

u mean 2 say that u cant enter cwm recovery mode?
then u can try the three button option
turn off ur phone then hold VOLup+home+powrbutt until u see recovery from there go 2 advance do fixpermissions and reboot system and see
if u cant do the above then u have 2 use downld mode to flash a .tar file of the cwm recovery or the stock ics rom from odin
You could try this:

ok........I'm loosing my patience
I've tried GSII_REPAIR, GALAXY S UNLOCK, THE 9 STEPS TO RECOVER IMEI, EFS_Pro_1.4.7 & nothing works!!!!!!!!!
Your last shot at it before you send it to Samsung is to contact Odia by PM. He might be able to recover it for you. If he can't, that's pretty much the end of the line.
so any luck ,if u have a efs thts good with all files pm me...

I had a weird problem of dissapearing IMEI(corrupt EFS?!):
when left for a couple of days without battery, IMEI appeared and everything seemed well, until inserting a SIM card, when things gone crazy and IMEI & baseband dissapear, to reappear again after a couple of days with phone left without SIM & battery.
But this (wonderful) piece of software HC-kTool did the magic and IMEI & phone are back again!
Is there a specific recovery for the Samsung Galaxy Mega SPH-L600 (Sprint)?
I would like to do a nandroid backup before I start playing with it..
If you send me your stock recovery.img, i can try making one for you.

Wow, that IS bad. Problem is some NVItems can't be read so when you try to write those it will write blanks (0's) or not write them at all. If you already wrote from a phone that does read them you might have corrupted your NVitems. Is insurance an option?
I don't have insurance

I don't know if imei can be changed. I also don't care about that now. I just want to fix radio information to original setting so i could use this phone again. If you have backup of qpst please post it. It seems you are not going to upload the file.

Im asking a few questions first, no need for attitude. And NO, I am not posting it here publicly, I am sending you a PM with a download link. So once I take out my personal info, create the qnc (sp?) file I will upload and send you a PM.
EDIT: PM sent.
For the record, I'm not the one who messed up the phone, you are asking me to send you my QCN file which contains all my info and that requires me to zero out the phone first THEN reprogram my phone, doing it as a favor, no need to get cocky.

My phone also encounted the same problem after flashing Custom ROM from needrom.com. Did you make a full backup of your phone? If not then it's too bad and you might need to sent your phone back to service center.
You can try this link for tutorial and see if it works to recover your IMEI and baseband, if not your last resolution is send back to service center.
http://lenovop780en.blogspot.ro/2014/01/faq.html
And after your phone back from servicing, next time remember make a full backup incase anything goes wrong. Post #3

Hi,
I think u need to flash your rom once again.
Use flash tool to install the same.
But before that connect your phone
and go to format- format whole flash-ok.
For this u need to select the scatter file from your firmware.
After this download your firmware( not firmware upgrade)
also click on check box for D/L.
After flashing new firmware you need to use above steps which I described earlier.
Good help you.

Hi I wonder have you resolved your issue or not? Actually I found a consider temporary solution.
With your phone rooted, using any root explorer, navigate to /data and copy the nvram folder to your memory card (as a backup). Then delete the whole nvram folder in /data. Wait a while, your phone should have signal and baseband already. If works let me know, I will tell you what to do next step.
Hi, I repass two phones in one, can not find a signal. I do not know what is meant by this icon:
Please, do not know where is the mistake? thank you

Ok i need help with my device.
I got a s6 edge SMG925I a while ago, yesterday an update (i guess its called OTA) popped up and i installed it. after the installation was completed but now i'm not registered on network, and i can't detect my SIM card.
Note: my IMEI is NOT blocked.
So far all my efforts were for nothing.
All the info i got so far by searching
Problems:
Not registered on network
when typing *#06# it only show S/N
About device it shows IMEI: Unknown
did not back up the efs folder (but i GUESS the folder is still there and somehow the new stock can't access it)
Android ver. 6.0.1(marshmallow)
Possible cause:
EFS Folder corrupted
Bad Stock installation
Already tried:
Rooting (i wasnt able to root)
Installing latest stock rom
installing the old rom
QPST to change IMEI
Please help me guys
EDIT:
I figured out what happened, my efs got deleted somehow, i got no backup, is there a way around this? help me please

How about a simple reset from the settings menu? But I am pretty sure, if you somehow deleted the IMEI imformation, your chances are not the best. You'd have to find a way, to get write thatbinfo back. What you could do is ask someone else to backup that partition for you and change the values according to your phone ( IMEI, serial number,...) Then flash this partition info back. Good luck!

i think you can install CM recovery (TWRP) then you can process the backup of your old rom from the recovery.
just enter in recovery mode then you'll find "restore" choose all the files ( i think there will be like this: System, Cashe, Efs, Boot...) then hit Restore botton, and wait for it to boot up hope this helps you bro

Try to get the efs partition holding the information from someone else, change it to your IMEI, serial,... And flash that partition to your phone and you should be good. I guess you'd have to use a hex editor to get that done. I am not rooted, so I can't back it up for you.
