Basically, I deleted system on my Desire 610 and I have no idea what to do now, so I came to ask you guys for help. Cheers.
I have actually found the stock system.img, recovery.img and boot.img by jmz, but every time I try to flash the system.img in via fastboot I get the following error: load_file: could not allocate -1879048192 bytes
error: cannot load 'system.img'
Can anyone please help me ASAP? I really need to get my phone up running soon. Thanks!

I bought it in Croatia, so I guess it'd be East Europe or just Europe. I've downloaded many RUU's so far and neither got past sending or updating signature...
EDIT: I tried to flash the system.img with different fastboot files and now I get the following error: invalid sparse file format at header magi.

There is no ruu for european devices available but the buckup linked in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63189341&postcount=112 should work.

Thanks alot. I'll try it out and then get back to you with the results.
E: Could you be more specific? Where do I need to extract it?
No need to extract it flash with twrp, if u don't have it you can flash it via adb, I made a thread to flash updates on rooted device u can use it as a guide to flash twrp only

Actually the link I posted is to a rar compressed twrp backup. It needs to be extracted to an sdcard in /twrp/backup folder then use the restore function in twrp to restore it. Last time I checked all the links I could find to flashable zips for eu devices have gone dead. Also It would be a good idea to do a factory reset in twrp(in Wipe menu) before restoring the backup.

So, pretty much I need to create a new folder on an sdcard and name it twrp and then make another folder in the twrp one and name it backup and then just extract the folder from the .zip file in there?

Yes except the folder names are actualy TWRP and BACKUPS . Then in twrp hit restore button. and select external sd as backup location. Then select the backup and swipe to restore. This is a UK backup but it should work ok except if you need languages that aren't there you can install "more locales 2" from play store. I hope this works for you.

I did everything alike, but when I enter restore it appears empty.
EDIT: I found a solution for that aswell. Apparently, I have to copy the backup folder to data/media/0 to be able to see it in restore, but I don't have data/media/0, I only have data/media. Anything I can do about that?
EDIT 2: I managed to fix everything. I owe you alot, man. Thanks a bunch, bunch, bunch!

Problem solved!
**********************
I think my problem happened because a flashed a ROM with MG4 baseband, and then flashed UltimaROM with another baseband which caused my baneband to corrupt.
I tried to flash Stock ROM and install different baseband but non of this worked.
finally I flashed BTU stock ROM (Which comes with MG4) but the problem still here.
Then I installed root, deleted the efs folder and replaced all the files with the files in the backup - restart and everything is working! my IMEI returned to normal.

Original question
Hello devs,
I have Siyah kernel which auto backup my EFS, i have backup named "efs_28Aug2013-1852.tar.gz"
I want to restore from this backup because I lost my IMEI when I flashed UltimaROM
I renamed it to "efsbackup.tar.gz" and put it in the root of the sdcard
then I started adb shell & run the code
Code:
su
umount /efs
mke2fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p1
mount -w -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /efs
busybox tar zxvf /sdcard/ efsbackup.tar.gz -C /
I granted ADB shell root access
then i went to recovery and run the command (because I can't run umount /efs while device's running it gives resource busy message)
However when I run the first command "su" in gives me this message
Code:
/sbin/sh: su: not found
so I skipped to the next command
but I get the message
Code:
umount: can't umount /efs: Invalid argument
Please guys any help appreciated

I've backup my efs with adb but how do you have a file on tar format, i've got a file on .img, it's normal ?
There's about nine different ways to backup the efs, .img is fine but a little on the large side at 20mb. A .tar of the same is only 5mb.

Thank you for your reply, I did as you said but this only changed my IMEI from "Unknown" to the generic IMEI "004999..."
Is there something wrong in the method or my backup may be corrupt

i am stuck

- my efs(folder) is blank
- i installed stock with pit file but no help!
- right now my cell is in bootloop!
- it goes to recovery, download mode.
i have efs.tar.gz file and a folder named efs in my ext sd
how do i copy that to int memory?
can't even create a cwm flashable zip file of the same?????
help me bro.....
You are posting in a thread that tells you how to restore an efs backup, how much more could you possibly need?
Go to recovery, factory reset.
Get the phone to boot, unpack the .tar file and follow the instructions in the OP.

try to install stock again via odin but this time install a diffrent version (for example if you installed INU this time try INS).. before that factory reset your phone and wipe cache via recovery mode.. don't lose your efs backup it's very important copy it to your PC in case something wrong happens

bro, thanks for your help recently i tried cm 10 also but nothing happened.
believe me i tried everything now the only option is left that is
to restore efs backup from efs.tar.gz (which is about 12 MB)
OR
create a cwm flashable zip from the efs folder which is about 22 MB)
OR
take my phone to download mode and try to push whole "efs" folder to the location with help of "ADB"

Hello
here i am posting here because i cant post on Miscellaneous Android Development , how ever i think i post there before while working on B5512
I Just got new G700 it came with B115 middle east channel , phone is good but as a start is there is a update i must ask my self is root ready , and CWM for sure so i start the digging
@chamaruco thank you for your great thread which saved and helped many people
now i got a file and i think you were looking for it ""G700-U10_V100R001C00B124CUSTC432D001_Firmware_Portugal_Channel-Others_4.2.1_EMUI 1.8_05021LMW.zip"" it contain usb upgrade and sd upgrade with drv and flash tool
i notice EMUI 1.8 not 1.6 which i saw for example a permission manager with it on P6 is that here in that rom too ?
is that rom improved than mine b115 phone is good for first look but
(in B115)
1-camera quality is strange i dont mean bad but it look very strange it is like very poor on quality
2-in call volume is too low in my opinion all " in test mode"
Question now did any one get that update "EMUI 1.8 B124" can tell is there is any improvements ?!
Question am i able to flash CWM image directly with flash tool to save some annoying procedures ?!
a member here provide flasher and cwm.img and orginal recovery.img
i did not work with the phone yet need to shift data from old phone remove ext2 part and prepare for change , and feeling lost here
want to strike it all once
i will upload "EMUI 1.8 B124" soon as it came from a private server
any suggestions are welcome
When you install 1.8 you will notice there is only a tap error from uploader..it is a 1.6 emui. That's all.
Hello

But my mobile does not boot into CWM recovery mode as i have seen in my previous Qmobile A8 it always restarts in the defualt recovery mode which only give options to "1. reboot, 2. update from SDcard, 3. update from cashe, 4. wipe/delete user data and wipe/delete cache and in the last there is a calibarate TP, AND OFF COURSE THESE ALL ARE THE ANDROID BUILTIN RECOVERY STEPS NOT OF THE CWM
And off course there is not any file or folder named update.app in the downloaded .zip/extracted file. "as i have mentioned above the folder contains a folder named META-INF and three img files named as boot cust and system while a .bin file named logo too.
THANKS FOR YOUR TIME AND HELP.

So after I select the Reworked scatter file there is only the sec_ro partition checked to flash. So after flashing it do I now select the previous scatter file and then flash everything (including preloader)?
Unfortunatelly I haven't found any support for this watch (system img, or saved full Twrp backup, factory img...) to repair the softbrick. I have found the ota.zip file, but I can't use it because of the system7 error. I have a Twrp on my watch, but I can't find any way to restart my wach. I'm so sad because I can't use my watch.
me too. I stuck with the smaller model because I thought that it looked much better with my Nemesis leather cuff band than the larger model. But no one seems to have the original system image or a recovery I could use for it since I bricked mine. I've gone back to my Misfit Shine, which is not even close to being a smartwatch

I downloaded the file and unzipped it. I booted to twrp recovery and used ADB PUSH to send the files to /sdcard/ on the watch. I then used Install in twrp to install the recovery and boot img files (there is no option in twrp to install system.img). After all of this I still cannot boot the watch, it goes to CSC Fastboot.
Am I doing something wrong?
Yeah, its a twrp backup file. Create a random backup ( for example only Boot.IMG ) in twrp. It will create a folder in /sdcard/twrp/ which is named XXXX-XXXX. Its different from device to device. In this folder you can move my twrp backup folder. Then reboot again to twrp. Now you will find a backup item in restore tab. Thats my backup

Thank you for all the steps.
I tried the steps and I noticed that when I selected the restore option only BOOT was able to restore. So I looked at the backup that twrp made and the filenames were actually boot.emmc.win, recovery.emmc.win, and system.emmc.win. So I took your three files and renamed the img extensions to emmc.win extensions and moved them directly to the backup folder that twrp created. This allowed me to be able to select all three options for restore (boot, recovery and system). The restore completed without errors. However when I reboot the watch it continues to quickly show "Recovery Mode!" and go to "CSC Fastboot Mode!"
Am I still doing this wrong?

So what do you need a back up of and how do I make the backup. Sorry so long but I finally have time. And a PC again
Hello there,
can someone please provide a system.img, recovery.img and boot.img from a WI501Q? I've derped something up quite hard by backing up the system partition while the bootloader was still locked, now I tried to flash it and the filesystem seems to be corrupted...
I tried reflashing a TWRP backup made from someone else but even transfering the backup to the watch fails at some point with "protocol error"... The watch reboots then and no files were saved to the watch.
Thanks already!
See Post #4 on how I resolved this (kinda).

What did you mean by using ext2simg?
Okay, after some derping around, trying, failing and more I managed to restore it...
I had a TWRP backup from my still OEM locked bootloader (I booted TWRP via fastboot boot twrp3.img), via fastboot I formated the system, userdata, cache and so on partitions and something along those lines seemed to work.
Before that the /data partition seemed to be corrupt for whatever reason, not even TWRP was able to display the free space. After doing the above it suddenly was able to display it again but the /data/media folder was missing, I created it manually, pushed the TWRP folder onto it, Restored and it worked!
So yeah, not sure what exactly went wrong here or how to fix it... Sorry...

Make sure you didn't change from zip to rar..
In Recovery under storage it has the internal storage which includes the SD card and then a small external of 15mb. And yes, it's still a zip file.

I downloaded the latest twrp and the filename is twrp-3.1.1-0-kiwi. Using that command I added . img at the end of the filename. I received an error in ADB stating it cannot load that file. I just t looked at the instructions and I forgot to wipe the system and cache before installing the new CR Droid zip. Does that make a difference? Should I do that and try installing the new version of the Rom? Or will the issue of not being able to see the Rom zip file still be there?

No need to wipe anything..
Rename recovery to just twrp.IMG and then try again..
Twrp you are flashing should be in the adb folder..
Renamed it to just twrp and got the same error message. What I was asking about wiping the cache and system is if I want to install the latest CR Droid Rom. I really appreciate your help and please don't feel like you're committed to helping. I may just see if I can flash the new ROM using adb

It shouldn't give that error...
You can flash new twrp with old twrp too..
Just copy it in SD and and click installed/image and locate and flash it in recovery partition....
Caution don't flash it in boot partition..
No you cannot flash custom ROM via adb fast boot... You need a twrp recovery to flash that...
I gave the TWRP app another read try and it worked. I was able to update twrp and that allowed me to install the new ROM. Thanks for your tips and help!
