Hi,
I'm new with this, and tried to update my Lenovo Vibe X2 to the most recent rom that I found... it is a custom rom, basicly the latest version without the chinese applications.
I read a little and saw some videos, to update it using the sp flash tool. And I made it... using the option Format+download :cyclops:
Now I have it updated, but my phone has invalid IMEI , MAC, etc... Reading a little more, I found some indications to restore the IMEI, but I would like some help to avoid be worst that it is.
I have an online Nandroid backup, that I make before the flash, I can see the files in Nandroid Manager...
boot.img, cache.ext4.tar, data.ext4.tar, nandroid.md5, recovery.img, recovery.log, system.ext4.tar
So, is it possible restore the original NVRAM from my backup and apply it using the sp flash tool?
Thank's in advance for any kind of help.
Regards,
Cristiano.

Hi!
Let me try explain...
First of all, I install the FX explorer and the ROOT add on for it. I used it to explore my backups and copy the files to the root directories.
- Copy your backup to your phone (if you don't have yet)
- Enter in the FX explorer and navigate in the MAIN STORAGE and go to your backup directory (in my case the clockworkmod)
- In this directory, enter in the data.ext4.tar file
- And after that, go to DATA
- And access NVRAM directory
- MD directory
- NVRAM directory
- NVD_IMEI directory
- hold at MP0B_001 file, and select COPY option
- back into the first menu and select the option SYSTEM (ROOT)
- Go to /data/NVRAM/MD/NVRAM/NVD_IMEI directory and paste the file...
Now the IMEI was restored.
After that, you can do the same, going to /DATA/NVRAM/APCFG/APRDEB directory of you backup and copy all files
Go to the SYSTEM ROOT enter in the same directory /DATA/NVRAM/APCFG/APRDEB and paste all files.
Now you can reboot you phone and the magic comes true... The IMEI, MAC_Address was restored and NVRAM Wifi removed.
Good luck.
Let me know if you have any question.
Regards,
Hi again and thanks for asnwer
I have a problem
When I go to /data/NVRAM/MD/ with root and fx nothing appears...
Itried creating the next directories and paste the file but that way it didnt work
Do you know what could be the problem?
Do I have to make a phone call to do this?

Forgot to have nandroid backup . Wiped data, cache partition, dalvik cache, battery stats Couple of times. Screwed up the phone for flashing, No signal.. Later, I was able to fix it with SGSII_repair But, stuck with a generic IMEI (004999010640000). I haven't backed up efs folder. Now I'm only left with cryptprop_es in the previous efs folder.. Is there any way to restore original IMEI ???

Try this ! You must have:
-Root
-Root explorer for copying files to and from EFS folder
-Android SDK for the ADB tools or Terminal in your phone.
IMEI is stored in ".nv_data" file in ORIGINAL SHIPPED EFS folder too, so you just have to do these:
1) make a copy of your EFS folder to your sdcard using root explorer and then make a backup of the folder to your computer [ to have another copy if you had to format sd card sometime ]
2) delete the EFS folder (BE SURE YOU HAVE BACKED IT UP IN A SAFE PLACE AS SAID IN STEP 1) from the root of your phone using root explorer.
3) reset the phone, after that, go to the root, and you can see that the EFS folder is still there, don't make any mistake, this EFS folder is new and generated by the android OS.
4) go to EFS folder using root explorer, and delete "nv_data.bin", "nv_data.bin.md5".
5) go to your backed up EFS folder on your sdcard, copy the "imei" folder to the EFS folder at the root of your phone, then again go to the backed up EFS folder at yout sdcard and copy the " .nv_data " file to your EFS folder at the root of your phone using root explorer, NOTE: the dot in first of nv_data is not a mistake, copy the ".nv_data" file.
6) make another copy of the ".nv_data" file in EFS folder in your phone, so you would have 2 copies of ".nv_data" in EFS folder
7) rename one of ".nv_data" files to "nv_data.bin" and another one to "nv_data.bin.bak"
8) at your PC open CMD at the ADB tool path, or run Terminal at your phone enter these commands:
adb shell ( use this command of you use ADB, if you're using terminal, skip this line )
su ( ALLOW THE MESSAGE CAME AT YOUR PHONE's DISPLAY BY SUPERUSER PROGRAM )
chown 1001:radio /efs/nv_data.bin
9) reset your phone.... after that you have your original IMEI. you can check your IMEI by dialing *#06#.
If all the above steps do not work, check with a called developer Odia on XDA, he has recovered many phones with lost EFS.
All the best.Hope this helps!

I don't have the nv_data files or, anything related to that !!!
Have you tried GSII_Repair from the Market ? This might be your last best chance before you need to send it to Samsung/your telco for repair. Look for it, read the description & then decide whether you want to try it or not.
If this doesn't work, nothing else will.
Edit to add - My bad.

Yeah !. This is the App Which Has Set The Generic IMEI & Brought Back The Phone's Signal !!! Would it Be A Problem in Future if, I Stick With This Generic IMEI ??? (I Know That Some Operator Blocks This IMEI But, Mine Didn't, Yet..)

He says in the opening post he has tried GSII_Repair which gave him the generic IMEI.
OP, if your EFS folder is empty and you made no previous backups I suspect you will have to send it for repair.
Imei is known by telephone company?
Can't he just get imei from them and create new folder if there is no backup?
Isn't imei on phone box?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
The necessary files are encrypted. Even if he knows the IMEI it's not just a simple case of creating a text file with it in for example. I wouldn't be surprised if his MAC address has gone too.
Do a search for the post about user ODIA who has helped some with no IMEI .

I believe you have to remount your root folder as R/W.

Hi everyone
2 weeks ago, when i was working with my gt-i9100 (with miui rom"gingerbread base version") it suddenly stopped working and i had to restart it.
After that, when it turned on, everything started to "Force close" and nothing worked correctly.
so i made a backup with Clockworkmod, but when i started to backup, after getting some backup, and i think in making something called MD5, it said that its not possible to complete the backup.
After that i upgraded my device to ICS 4.0.3.
now i want to restore my SMS to ICS and i didn't succeed. because when i copy MMSSMS.DB file to my device and after restarting that, Messaging won't work and i even tried to install miui on my device(ICS Based) and copying that file and even the whole database directory, but every time this caused my device to not working properly and messaging started to crash.
Now i have my old "data.ext4.tar" file which contains all previous data (Like "Data" folder) and i don't know how to deal with it anymore....
Does anyone have a solution for this problem?
currently ICS(NOT MIUI, Official one) is running on my device, and i want to restore my MIUI SMS Backup to ICS.....Has anyone faced with this problem and found a solution?
I will appreciate any help from you guys....
Thanks in advance...
Iman
even your Backup from MIUI failed at the end while creeating MD5 checksum, it is already made and written on the clockworkmode backup folder, you cant use it to restore with CWM because there is no MD5 created, but you can still extract apps and datas from that Nandroid backup using Titanium Pro.
MD5 checksum writing error is a known issue of CWMpacked in the MIUI roms, the solution
no.1 : flash Siyah kernel from CWM, then you will get a Redpill advanced recovery, make backup from that.
no2 : install rom manager and falsh touch recovery from there (you have to pay)and reboot into recovery and make backup, worked fine for me. touch recovery is only a temp recovery which is opened from update zip each time when you reboot to CWM only from ROM manager. from 3 botton combo and reboot from anywhere else will give you current recovery only...
Thanks a lot, but I'm trying to find an easier way to restore my sms, I mean is there any way for example to convert my old mmssms.db file to a file which can be replaced by my current file and see my previous messages? I guess it must be so...
yes there should be some solution...lets wait someone will share...
opening that file with any text editor, somehow you may be able to read your old messeges I hope...
Yes, i can open it with notepad+, but I want them on my device...
Any other ideas?

You have a solution that works very well here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24533276&postcount=1
Here's how I did it :
1. Download "yaffs-mmssmsdb-calls-extractor.zip" on the post I give above.
2. Unzip the file somewhere on your disk
3. Download and install Python v3.2.3 for Windows you can find here : http://www.python.org/download/releases/
4. you must put your mmssms.db file in the folder you extracted from "yaffs-mmssmsdb-calls-extractor.zip"
5. Open Dos prompt (Start Menu / Run / type "cmd")
6. Navigate to your folder (example : "cd c:\yaffs" if you extracted the files in c:\yaffs folder)
7. type "extract -s mmssms.db".
If everything is ok, you will see the following message : Read xxx messages (xxx is the number of sms found in your database)
8. Then you must put a name for the file that will extract (example : "sms_backup")
9. then you will see the "sms_backup" file in your folder. You have to manually add the extension ".xml" to your file (sms_backup.xml)
10. You can then use an Android application such as "SMS Backup & Restore" to import your sms via your xml file.
For me everything worked. Try and tell us if it worked for you.
And sorry for my english !!!

Hi friends i would like to share the problem that i faced and solved with other's help.
This thread is only for the people who have the md5 mismatch error while restoring nandroid backups. I created this thread since there were no similar questioned thread.
This error comes usually due to renaming the nandroid backup folders.
Try any one of the following fixes to solve this,
1. Use a program editor like notepad++ to open the nandroid.md5 file and remove all lines except the first line which would have some hex values follwed by boot.img.
2. run the following commands in terminal emulator of ur android:
#cd /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/(name of backup)
#rm nandroid.md5
#md5sum *img > nandroid.md5

Are you sure u typed the commands correctly. The command surely creates a nandroid.md5 file in the nandroid backup folder with the checksum values.

Hi,
Look on your sd card/clockworkmod/backup.
Missing backup files
Have an AT&T Samsung Galaxy S4 (SGH-i337) Have made a couple of backups with CM and they show up in the Backup and Restore when in CM app. The path shows /mnt/shell/emulated/clockworkmod/backup but when I use ES File Explorer or Explorer they are not to be found. I can open /mnt/shell but the shell folder says 'Empty Folder'.
The reason I want to open the backups is to fix the MD5 checksum errors I always get when trying to restore.
It must be something simple but I can't figure it out.

You can find any other ways to Mount the SD card in recovery, with the help of adb shell or any other methods to access the backup file.
Else with the help of externel sdcard flash any stable ROMs and then try the restore thing.
Else try flashing the stock firmware available for your model.

This error comes usually due to renaming the nandroid backup folders.
Try any one of the following fixes to solve this,
1. Use a program editor like notepad++ to open the nandroid.md5 file and remove all lines except the first line which would have some hex values follwed by boot.img.
2. run the following commands in terminal emulator of ur android:
#cd /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/(name of backup)
#rm nandroid.md5
#md5sum *img > nandroid.md5

I dont have PC or ADB. any other way to fix the problem?
I have my EFS backup as a .tar.gz. After I extracted it shows me several files. I think, I should copy/push all these files to /efs folder. But the problem is I have no idea about the zip file contain updater-script.
How to I make a updater-script?
Thanks!

1) the search will give this answers
2) .tar files can be flashed with Odin as "PDA"
3) The normal method is here
If you Have a Backup and you want to restore it, this is one method
1) Download Root Explorer, or Xplore, or any root browser from Play Store and use it to
2) Search you internal SD card for sdcard/backup/efs or any other backup you have for your efs
3) Copy nv_data.bin, nv_data.bin.md5 paste them (means overwrite existing files) into /efs in your Internal Phone memory
4) Fix permissions by Click on efs folder and keep it pressed to open the menu and click on permissions and set them to rw_r_r_ ( Owner = read & write - Group = read only and Others = Read only), after this Save using menu and exit using menu
5) Power down phone and reboot into recovery and wipe cache before rebooting phone to get back your original IMEI

Thanks xsenman. Looks like my CWM zip not working. I added a sample test file inside the efs folder, but after flash the zip, it still remain in there. My update-script file has delete("/efs/"); command.

sorry man, I do not want to mess with this command or file, as it can cause serious problems for you. . Since this deals with IMEI, it would also be illegal in this server (XDA) but not others.( MOD's would be inclined to close it where editing or deleting of IMEI is discussed) Like I already mentioned earlier the root explorer method would be the safest way to overwrite existing IMEI. and Odin3 has a phone EFS clear function.

Ops i guess you misunderstands. I don't want edit my SGS3 IMEI. Because I already have my i9300 working efs backup. I want to make CWM flashable EFS restore zip file (my phone efs).
Yesterday after I reseted flash counter my efs wiped. Then I can't even boot ( can boot into cwm)
After that I had to flash Samsung firmware and restore my old efs backup using root file app (like you mentioned this thread, yes its easier).
Normally I use aosp (CM) ROM. Specially cm. In future if it again wipeout my efs folder, I want to flash my backup efs using cwm (without flashing stock firmware with Odin). Its faster.
In my previous post I mention added a sample file mean, I added a text file to that zip. Not a edited or hacked nv_data.bin and nv_data.bin.md5 files .
I guess this is not an illegal.

very informative, im glad i was turned on this topic. i learned alot.. thanks..
Hello guys, i have the solution to this annoying problem.
The problem itself is that the file nv_data.bin suffered some change or was deleted by installing a ROM or when you flash your phone.
The solution is change that file with one that is in good condition, but can not be from any phone, it must be of the same model.
I will leave the required folder to resolve this, this folder is called efs and I got it after 3 days of searching.
Thanks to the user BarakOsama who was that uploaded it.
Well, this are the steps you must follow:
1- You must be root
2- You must have the application Root Explorer (get in the playstore or google)
3- Download the file EFS-SHVE210K.zip
4- Unzip
5- Copy the folder to your phone
6- Open Root Explorer and activate the option "mount r/o"
7- Copy the folder to the root of the phone and replace the old efs folder (make a copy of your EFS folder in case a problem arises)
8- Reboot
This has to fix the problem definitely.
Well I hope this help you guys!
