Hi all,
Please help me, my device is Samsung s766c displays an error after turn on, displays pop up message "system process not responding" with two buttons wait & close, then device reboot, so I cannot access to it.
I did wip data and wip cache from recovery mode but the same error appear, I notice in recovery mode displays "failed to mount EFS" I think the problem from it, I did more searching for EFS for this model but I do not found it.
Please anyone have this model make backup for the EFS and send it for me.

you cannot use some one elses efs it contains your data that make ure phone ures. imei and other
so im assuming youve rooted it and either deleted stuff or flashed a custom rom
always first try to use odin and dl mode and flash stock firmware
some efs issue span from flashing roms or roms with wrong modems and base bands
and sometimes can be fixxed simply by going back stock

Thank you friend for reply.
I can not root the phone and i can not enable ADB, the phone do reboot quickly, also I flash the stock rom but not resolved, so if I'm sure if flash the EFS for the same model "Samsung S766C" it will be resolved not EFS for other model, now i cannot use the phone yet.
Who is can help me and make backup EFS for the same mode?

You were told. You can't use it. The files are unique for each device.
If you didn't make the proper backup then you will have to send it to the oem.

If flashing the pure stock rom doesn't fix it and you have no back up then you have 2 options.
1. Send it in to the oem (will most likely NOT be free)
2. Blow it up

This flashing stock, did you do it through CWM or ODIN? If you have not tried ODIN yet I would go that route, could just be you need a stock modem.

i am such a tard.. i havent backed up the efs... i did so now after the mess ... i believe there must be someone with tips and a small hope, btw restoring efs make no difference at all, as dont have correct files.
The EFS is fine if you have IMEI, if you have only flashed each ROM once through ODIN you have hope. Try an ODIN flash again. Can you get to recovery to do full wipe first?
Try EFS Pro Here and download to your PC then run it. You will probably need to use your own wireless to get Busybox (free on Play Store) and run it on your phone - if the phone will not go to wireless, DL the files to your PC then copy BB over to the phone in Windows Explorer and run it on the phone.
Then run EFS Pro on your PC (with phone connected by USB, but it will prompt you) and there are a couple of options there to try to see if you can recover things. (NV Recovery and Repair NV Data) - I think the NV Recovery uses info on the phone (.bak file) while repair tries to rebuild the info.
Good luck. Maybe read through the thread first or contact the thread OP if you have questions about EFS Pro processes...

I don't think this will help with the Serial issue, but maybe for the service all you need is the APN/Service info from Vodaphone? Go to [Settings] [More Settings] [Mobile Networks] and check both Access Point Names and Network Operators.
I flashed a ROM and found I had problems so I went to a Telstra page, entered my phone number and it sent me a text with a security code - when I entered that it sent me an install that connected all my services again. Maybe Voda has similar? Or even just a page with APN info?

guys help me out... i am stucked ... any tips? i am willing to try "almost" everything to make it work.
Beyond what I know so far, sorry. If it was me I'd be making sure I have back-ups of everything I can think of (Data, System, Nandroid, EFS) then I would start from clean phone - wipe everything in recovery, factory reset etc. then load as close as possible to the original Stock for the phone. If that doesn't do it, with official stock and counters etc. I'd go to vendor and ask what gives. I'd start with the service provider and if they can't help, phone vendor, then failing that, Samsung.
Maybe some of the more experienced here can assist otherwise...

Samsung S3 GT-I9300 purchased in the UK.
Its my sisters mobile and i think its soft bricked. She told me it just happened and she done nothing. I received the phone in stock condition.
The phone was orignally stuck solid on the first startup title screen and would not go any further. This is what i have done so far:
1. booted the phone into recovery mode which shows E:failed to mount /efs (invalid argument)
2. wiped cache partition
3. wiped data/factory reset
4. Installed Odin3-v3.04 and downloaded I9300XXDLIB_I9300OXFDLI1_I9300XXDLIB_HOME.tar
5. Connected phone to Odin and flashed the above .tar file which completed sucessfully.
The phone rebooted and it still got stuck on the first startup title screen.
I then looked for a different version and downloaded I9300XXEMF1_I9300EVREMF1_I9300BVEMF1_HOME.tar
this version also installed sucessfully onto the phone after repeating what i had previously done.
The phone reboots and now gets past the first title screen to the animated samsung logo but then keeps looping the animation.
The blue led in top left corner is on and is pulsing from dim to bright constantly while it loops.
Getting a little progress with the 2nd version i kept this on and patched CF-Auto-Root-m0-m0xx-gti9300.tar ontop of it.
Still the same looping when it gets to animated samsung logo
I dont know if this would of helped but i then tryed downloading the NV Generator to make a new IMEI file but cant get
the phone to respond to NV reader writer program.
Iv downloaded Adb and tryed to push the IMEI file onto the phone but it fails with error E: Signature Verification Failed
Im a beginner and this is the first time iv tryed to fix a phone and iv hit a brick wall and not sure now if im wasting my time.
can anyone help me get to the next stage?
Restore your backed up EFS would be the first step .
Do you actually have an I9300 as the NV tool is for a different phone
jje
Does your phone have a cwm or twrp now that u cf rooted it? If u do..then just flash a new rom over it after a clean wipe..(not stock) hopefully your phne should reboot to the new rom..otherwise ill think of another way..put the files into the extmem card using a card reader..or take a tar file of the new rom and flash it after clean wipe..works for me everytime i f up

Ahh yes I get you now. sorry lol.
what if I get a backup /efs from another phone. would I be able to mount it via sd card, then edit the efs to suit my phone so its not a clone of the phone iv got it from?
iv just flashed ODIN_CheckROM_V4_XXBLG8
it gives alot more options to fiddle around with. I think I could fix this phone to be honest if I keep looking into it.
OMG!! after installing the rom I just posted the phone has booted up and im in
I don't know what to do now.
is the efs fixed? should I make a backup?
how did this fix the phone?

Ok sorry I didn't know, I just thought it was just a missing folder that could be copyed.
the phone has now booted up
[Resurrection Edition] CheckROM EvoHD™ V4 [ODIN ROM]
this is what I flashed and it seems to have fixed it?
can anyone explain what has happened, I would like to understand what this rom was able to do that the others I flashed before couldn't.
if it booted it doesn't mean that EFS is okay

do you know what I could do from here to fix the efs?
should I try and pull anything from the phone onto my computer now that its booted?
when I goto status it says IMEI unknown
I know my imei number is behind the battery, how do I register it?
the fact that it booted changes nothing.
you can't repair the EFS if you don't have a backup
what is EFS? is it a folder? a file?
can anyone else explain a little more?
it is a folder.
to explain a little more - you need a new motherboard because every EFS folder is device-specific
I cant get the phone to connect to my wifi. Kies is not picking up the phone either.
is there a way I can download apps to my pc and load them onto the phone? I would like to try and get root explorer installed to see if there is an efs folder.
i tried EFS PRO. it has generated an efs.img file, is it useful?
this is what i done to get it, im not sure if its correct. can anyone tell me?
i went into Backup and selected Device Filter: International Variants
i ticked the block device box and clicked the backup button.
the operation was successful and it created the zip file with the efs.img inside it.
i have pulled this zip from the phone using QtADB_0.8.1_
does anybody know if this file can be used to fix the problem? or has it made a backup of a corrupt efs folder?
Apologies for this being my first post, but I need some of your opinions/advice...
I fix phones for friends and friends of friends, and changed the glass on a Galaxy S3. It worked fine, turned on and that was that. Gave it back to the owner.
Later that day I get a call saying it won't turn on, and cycles the network logo and Samsung logo. Sure enough it does.
When in recovery mode I get this error:
'E:failed to mount /efs (Invalid argument)'
It won't wipe data/factory reset giving the same error as a reason.
1). Is this any way related to the glass change?! Or is it a software only problem?
2). Would any one be so kind as to point me in the direction of a fix?
Thanks in advance

I wouldn't have thought replacing the glass would cause the boot loop, if it booted normally afterward. Did the phone get a firmware update of any kind afterward?
It would be worth flashing an EMG4 stock rom via a pc to see if that enables the efs folder to be read again, factory reset in recovery first.
If you have a backup of the efs folder then you could format the partition and restore the backup -don't do this unless you have a valid backup.

I wouldn't have thought the glass would have caused a boot loop. That's all I've done to it - change the glass and turn it on to test. Gave it back working. Nothing has been done by me to the software.
I'll try what you suggest, thanks. I doubt there is an efs backup, I don't have one.
Hi,
First off I'm new to this forum and this is my very first post...
I by mistake formatted my SD card and erased all the CWM backups of my stock Rom. So, now I'm stuck with a custom Rom. I was hoping if someone could tell me where i could find the stock firmware for my model. Or if someone could send me their stock Rom backup if possible.
I've tried Sammobile and it said that the file doesn't exist.
I tried stock Rom flash-able via Odin which after flashing got stuck at booting.
Please,help.

It's common to bootloop after Odin flash of stock rom. If the flash was successful and without errors then just need to boot to recovery and reset after flash.
Done that already.

Hi
Thank you for your response.
I did that but then itself but still it would hang at "Rogers" on boot, and then if I leave it for a little while longer the display would turn off.
Also, my EFS folder is corrupt. Is there anyway to restore the IMEI no? I was trying it a post on this forum on how to unlock the phone and ended up corrupting the EFS folder.
Since this phone isn't available in my country the Samsung cannot provide service to me, that's what they said, so this forum is my only hope.
Which firmware did you flash? So you tried to do this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1595756 instead of this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1860003&highlight=bit-flip hmm? Is your IMEI missing or is it 0049...?
You might find something helpful on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2535384 I believe you are suffering from the reboots because of the messed up EFS partition. The 3rd post in that thread explains what block the EFS partition is at. There is more info about this issue here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2471421 - I think those adb commands might work properly if you change the block to the one in the first link since this one is for another Samsung phone, but pretty sure it's the same deal if you have successfully flashed the correct tar file to restore to Rogers stock software and a reset didn't fix.

Hi,
First of all I apologize for not responding sooner.
I flashed the stock rom for SGH-i927R from the sammobile website. I tried reset, I tried flashing it again but, no use. It still goes into bootloop. Could you tell why it goes into bootloop.
Thanks for the tips on restoring EFS folder. I'm using CWM recovery, If it works with CWM also, then I'll try the links.
Thank You.

Kies isn't going to fix EFS issues like this.
What happened with the adb commands? Just saying no result is not very descriptive or helpful. Was there an error message? Were you not able to get it to recognize the phone? Issues with drivers? etc

Whatever adb command I tried it said, "*comand* not found". So I checked if adb shell was working with cwm and it was(i tried rebooting).
there were no issues with drivers or getting it to recognize the phone. Just that those particular were "not found". Do you know what it could mean?
If you are in CWM and run
adb devices
and it returns the device serial then you should be good. What commands are you trying that aren't working?

I was trying 6.0.1. update from 6.0. I made a backup of 6.0 before trying 6.0.1. BUT after flashing 6.0.1 there was no signal and also no network avalible com.phone keep FC. So I've flashed stock firmware for my device. And after that I'm keep getting to bootloop but if I flash custom kernel phone reboot but witnout signal and also there is unknown baseband and no IMEI. I have my S/N and IMEI on piece od paper. I've tried many things on XDA but nothing worked, I also tried to flash ROM with xposed to change IMEI but still no signal........ Im desperate.... Can someone help me please?
How did you upgrade? Do you have a nandroid backup?

Ull need to flash stock with odin or smart switch thats the only way to recover imei or try restoring just the efs partition from the backup u made.
I've tried everything also flashing official firmware and so on, but nothing.... Still no base or IMEI... I don't have EFS backup - I know I'm retard....

Same here (Think we done the same thing with the Marshmallow 6.0.1 leak) I backed up, but the new version of TWRP I have has EFS as a separate option, I never even noticed and never backed it up.
However I Flash with smartswitch, and after reflashing the bootloader with odin and a Root Kernel, I can boot into the device and using root explorer, I CAN see my EFS folder. I deleted the .nv_data.bin files and changed the .nv_data.bak to .nv_data.bin (was an older date) and I now have the network options back but a generic IMEI and can't register on a network.
I feel SO close to getting it up and running, but if smartswitch can't help, not fully anyway, I'm not 100% I can be rescued either.

I've called to my local service center and they said that they will reflash firmware fo 450 CZK (about 17 euros) and It will be done in 1 hour 30 minutes. So I will se what they can do with it. I've tried everything... and right now I don't know what else I can do. But If you figurate out how to fix it let me know Thanks!
Ive also heard that if you flashing each partion one at a time with odin that has fixed it for some

I got 3 old smartswitch backup and i find a file with the imei and everything , do you think its possible to backup this files ?
You CAN recover your phone with smartswitch, there is an emergency recovery function with a IMEI and SN input option, some users who used the same threat (android 6.0.1) and has lost their efs partition reported that smartswitch worked.
I've done this procedure too for some weeks to recover my phone an everything is working fine.
possibly with root explorer
