[Q] Missing nv_data.bin files and can't unlock to other carriers - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

so i did a factory reset with the volume up+volume down+power button/homebutton and it wiped all my ****. ALL of it. i tried to unlock my phone to another carrier and kept getting an error that said, missing nv_data.bin file. This was using the XDA unlock method. So i thought, hey, I'll just get an unlock code from a friend. Got the code after giving the IMEI number but STILL cant unlock it. Need some help please cause im phoneless and have this locked awesome phone. BTW im ATT and its a TMOBILE phone. I believe the problem is because I reset my phone first...so is there a way to restore my phone? or the files at least so i can unlock it? Plez and ty

yeah, you see that big section that's titled Vibrant Q&A?
take your question there where it belongs

so its been moved. anyone have any ideas?

Thanks bro. I tried looking at the NOOB guide stickied in the Q&A thread but it seems like a much more complicated process than i thought. Do i have to root first? What files are necessary? Sorry I am absolutely clueless. Just want a useable phone..

isuccessfully ran odin, or assuming i did since it says PASS in a big ol' greenbox. still can't unlock though. Was told my phone is now perm locked. im guessing perm stands for..permanent, which means its unlockable..forever. sigh. is this true? anything else i can do now..?

I'm not sure... is there anything in your efs folder?
who said it was permanantly locked?
if there is something in your efs folder try this
(Instructions for the vibrant/captivate are in a link on the top left or here)

same problem here i done have anything in my efs folder

WARNING: Once youre unlocked dont use odin to flash custom ROMs.

The title says it all. Nothing good can come of flashing with Odin except returning to stock. Stick with CWM or TWRP flashable zip files. If you disregard this message you will end up with a locked device, or even worse, a hard bricked device. Please use Odin as a factory restore tool only. I'm concerned that after unlock using our methods that people will flash the wrong thing and cause problems in the future.
The unlock method we have provided is not a standard Bootloader Unlock. It is an IROM unlock. This means you can quite literally flash anything to your device without any sort of signature checks. It is important that you stay safe and try to stay away from Odin unless absolutely necessary.
Thanks for all the hard work

Yup! I can already see the threads starting.... It is good to know that we can still use Odin though cause I was under the impression that Odin was a no-go at this point... So flashing the factory image from imnuts would be the best resort to get back to stock if we needed to return a device?

"Please use Odin as a factory restore tool only"
In Androidstyle's guide thread, Adam asked him to point the unlock guide to his unlock thread, but I don't see an unlock thread from Adam, only the Revision3 thread which has no steps to unlock. I see the video Adam made, but my understanding is that the process has changed and the links to download Adam's ROM are dead on the Youtube page. Anyone have the link to Adam's unlock step by step guide?

It's in "Verizon Galaxy Note II Android Original Development". Go up one level and you'll see it. There are only two threads there so it shouldn't be too hard to find.
I don't mean to sound mean but if you really can't figure out how to get to his unlock thread do you really think it's a good idea to be unlocking your bootloader? Maybe you should just stick to a rooted image and read up and learn for awhile before jumping in over your head

To be fair, the distinction between "Android development" and "Original Android development" is new for many of us. I, too, was wondering how to get back to this thread since I tend to browse XDA through bookmarks instead of the site hierarchies. I didn't realize there was an "original Android development" section until after I double checked the name on the thread jumper. It's not that one is technologically illiterate (I got through all this in one fell swoop with no issues and have rooted and unlocked every phone I've owned since the G1), it's just that it's different. Last device I had didn't have a section for original development, so it wasn't immediately obvious to me (though I quickly understood what it was for). so cut him some slack and just kindly point him to the right direction. I know you said you weren't trying to sound mean, but if you really weren't trying to sound mean you could have just helped him out without all of the extra, unnecessary commentary. You know what they say about assumptions, after all.
Just got the Note 2 on verizon and loving it so much I'm going to hold off for a bit before unlocking & rooting. Normally on all my android phones that is done day 1... but this time w/ the dev community just now unlocking it, I think I'm going to wait a few weeks.
In context, imnuts has put out a Recovery flash-able version of CWM. If one tries his CWM but wants to go back to TWRP then currently it seems that one need to ODIN it. To Adam Outler's point it would be safer to have a Recovery flash-able version of TWRP. [?]

That's what I figured , I thought I'd ask the dumb question to explicitly clarify it.

I moved system app out of /sys and phone wont start now :(

Hi, sorry to xda for posting in bad sections in the past but i am dumb hence my problem please please please help
I have mb860 i think i have emara as firmware? when i browse through my backup files from titanium backup in text mode i see android 2.3.4 then emara and its version...
I cant fully check this all because my phone is not working and only boots into android recovery. I have stock, my bootloader is not unlocked. I tried flashing over cwm into the recovery partition and got an error basocally saying my bl was locked, so i tried some fixes with fastboot but both methods gave me "(bootloader)OEM unlock not implementable"
So i dont know how to unlock bl, which means i dont know how to open a adb shell and move around my phone...
Also i got rsd lite (i never used this when i programed for android) because i wanted to push an entire sbf.. Only problem is every sbf link is broken for my version that i find and even xda links to a filefsctory depository wich is littered with actual viruses...
My head really hurts so if anyone can help im so sorry if im not clear i will try hard to explain just ask.... I havnt slept since it happened about 40 or 50 hours ago?
Oh yeah what happened?
I moved an app called "system tuner" out of /sys and instantly got notifications telling me applications were force closing... They were back to back and i could not long hold home and just move system tuner back and ignore them, i tried and almost made it to move system tuner back but then all i saw was a vertical display of my battery being charged....... Now i can boot into android recovery mode and nvflash fastboot rsd and about 7 more...
I thought i had luck with usb enumeration and that would make it go as usb mass storage and i could do something. And my usb driver read it as a usb storage device but it didnt work.
I have a backup of user and syte, data by backup titanium on my pc thats how i saw i had 2.3.4... The update.zip backup is on my phone... Speaking of that can i somehow fix my problem by putting a .zip file on my phone? To repopulate it? I think its all gone????
EDIT: MY BLOOTLOADER IS LOCKED... IM 99%
And idk if it means anything when i plug into rsd mode, my ui on my pc tells me im connected to "se flash olympus" which is all good but it doesnt have an (imei/esn/meid) number.?????

So basically what you're saying is you have a stock device, locked bootloader, and you failed to read the directions about unlocking (pudding sbf, oem unlock, custom recovery). How do you expect to flash custom roms or custom recoveries with a locked bootloader?

you should probably create a new thread and get help for this. Like the link in the OP said, efs folder are unique to each device because it also contain imei/esn number. Using someone else back up wont help you with your phone. maybe theres a different fix.

We could if we had something that would allow these files to be converted to a format that is readable by a hex editor, and then convert them back. I have been trying to find something like this for a while but I can't find anything. If anyone knows and would be willing to share, I am sure a great many of us would appreciate it!
Tks @hoangnova :good:
This is my last ditch effort. Small back story: I somehow wiped EVERYTHING on my G2. EFS partition, ESN, data, SIM info., everything with dialer codes. All of my network information reads "unknown". I tried many methods from here on the forums to get this data back and it turns out I have lost my EFS partition- DNA for the network? I sent it to LG to get it fixed, having done a hard reset and leaving no trace of root. They sent it back without even asking and did no repairs. The note said "board bent". WTF?? How does the user bend the main board, especially when I never opened it? They voided my warranty and ripped off my IMEI/MEID sticker from the back of the phone.
Anyways, I am here with a brick. No network still. Here is what I have done:
1) .tot method to ZVC. Several more times... once to ZV7 where I lost touch capability. Luckily saved my arse with a micro->usb cable and a mouse.
2) attempted to root with ioroot25. Failed because the phone WILL NOT find recovery mode. adb, voldown+pwr then again from power off, and apps are unable to force the phone into recovery mode. I assume it is possible that my recovery mode is deleted?
3) Would have tried all of these "rewrite your efs/imei/etc" things but I can't do any without root. Can't root without recovery, can I?
4) Spent the last two weeks scouring the internet for a fix and going back to my Epic 4G temporarily.
Please help me, has anyone seen this before? Can anyone help me fix it? I am to the point where I would pay to have it fixed. Any experts out there? XDA has yet to let me down... I just need to know if I can fix it or if it is a brick so I can go searching for an old Sprint GS3.
Thanks all,

So this is situation
I had rooted device and hyperdrive rom. I went back to stock using Odin. Then I rooted again using saferoot method. I flashed custom recovery. I didn't even check if it has been installed correctly. Then I used boot unlocker app to unlock bootloader. App name is EZ-Unlock something. It asked me to reboot, I did and I can't turn on my screen. I used all type of combination. I tired keeping battery out for few hours and nothing is happening. I can't turn on screen at all. Nothing means nothing. Any idea please? I don't want to waste money with out getting help from here.

There is no "boot loader unlock" for the i545, just Loki for the MDK bootloader.
What bootloader did you start with? What build?
It sounds to me like whatever you used hosed your phone, which is pretty unusual. Normally you can at least get into bootloader mode.]
If you press the power button and plug in to your PC, what kind of device appears?

Ok, first off you cannot unlock the bootloader on this phone. MDK build is the only build that has a bootloader workaround, but it is still not unlocked.
What you will need to do is to find out what build you are on, download that .tar file, boot into download mode, and flash it through Odin.

I may be wrong but you're probably going to have to restore your previous EFS. A couple months ago, after using the flash tool, that happened to me but luckily I found a way to do it, but I completely forgot how.

Hi Guys,
I was able to successfully restore to stock without any issue, I had to do a restore using a different method, I was getting an Factory Reset Status 2.
I had to Downgrade BL and i could restore and I had to replace 2 files from another thread. and I was able to successfully get my Device working, I was even able to swith to GSM network. Thanks to all the Xda members who are so knoweledgeable.:laugh:
Any chance you could provide more details about exactly what you did, and a link to that other thread? It could help someone else.
