I have the Omega 6 ROM installed, now i wantet to make a backup of the efs partion but it always tells me that it has no root, i also have busy box installed but it doesent work. USB debugg modus is also on.
does any one has a clue ?
thanks a lot
Do u have superuser app installed and are u using a file manager that have root.
Otherwise try "ES file manager" from market.remember to grant root permission
Copy the efs folder to your SD ,then zip the folder and upload to dropbox.if u don't have a cloud then send to your mail account.rename folder from zip to apk to save from your mail account to the pc
yes i have the superuser app, i use root explorer but how does this helps me with the efs app on my pc? the programm did't make a backup yet so there is nothing to copy to my pc yet. Or can i copy the efs partion myself without the need of efs_pro?
thanks,

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.
Are you using a rooted phone with root explorer set to read write ????

Yes you can, but don't do it manually. You deleted some system folders, instead of just overwriting the necessary files in those folders.
Put this file on your sd-card (direct download, credits to nobodyAtall)
Use flashtool:
Root your phone
Install xRecovery
Reboot into xRecovery
Choose 'Install zip from sd-card' and flash the above zip.
You'll have CWM after a reboot
Or, root your x10 mini (flashtool does an excellent job on this) and then use RecoverX for an easy installation of CWM...
#Root : Use Framaroot 1.6.0 app for rooting.
Download it from xda-forum,open it and click on
"Boromir" then reboot your phone. Now your w70
is rooted successfully and you'll get Superuser
app in your app drawer.
#Install Busybox : Download and open then give
superuser permission,then click on Install. Keep
your internet connection on. You'll see Busybox
is installed on your Symphony W70.
#Install TWRP and take a backup of your stock
ROM :
Download the .img file i provided and put it in your phone
storage. Just phone storage,not in folder.
Download Mobile Uncle MTK Tool from
playstore.open it and give root permission. Now
click on Recovery Update and later,click on
recovery.img. Now a promt will appear,click Yes.
You'll be asked Reboot To Recovery? Click OK.
Now your w70 will reboot in TWRP recovery,here
click on backup and mark boot,recovery and
cache then slide to backup. It'll backup your
entire system,data,cache,boot.img and recovery.
Now after backup completed,reboot your system.
Go to file manager and open your memory card.
You'll see a backup folder is created named
TWRP,don't delete it. So,if your w70 is bricked
any time,simply pull out battery then put it
back,press and hold both power button+volume
up button. Your TWRP menu will be out! Simply
click on restore and your backup will be restored.
Now you can reboot your phone!
#Change Storage Partition : You know that
w70's phone storage is only 2 gb. That's why
you can't play HD games with size of above 2GB
like GTA San Andreas,Gangstar Vegas,NOVA 3
etc. And to play games in w70,the game data
must be kept in phone storage. Don't worry,with
this trick you can turn your entire memory card
into your phone storage.
©Things needed:
1.TWRP backup[strongly recommended]
2.Es File Manager
3.A small file called vold.fstab i provided
4.Some idea of system partition
Now download the file i provided and Put it
somewhere. Now open Es File Manager,go to
tools>root explorer and give root permission.
Then again click on root explorer ans click on
Mount R/W. Mark both dot as R/W and save it.
Now copy the extracted vold.fstab and paste it
in device/system/etc. A promt will appear asking
to overwrite,click yes. Now reboot your phone
and voila!....Your external memory card is
showing as your phone memory!
Thank You!
How to root symphony r40??
How to root symphony r40
Hi,
I'm using the last Envi-ROM based in stock 23.0.1.A.0.167 and I would like to disable the charger plugged in notification so I tried to remove ChargerPluggedIn.ogg from /system/media/audio/ui but it says that it's an only read file and I can't do it. I'm root and I tried with RootExplorer, ES File Explorer, ADB (mv, chmod,...) but I'm not able to change the permissions neither the file nor /system folder.
Any idea?
Thanks in advance
So i just changed the permissions of that file with rom toolbox lite to 777 without issues. I also moved it up a directory without issue. Maybe try that app ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/...+lite&pcampaignid=APPU_EaWoVMe9Nce7mwWlnILYCw)
If you still have issues why don't you backup your phone and redownload envi-rom zip. Open the zip and navigate to the file and delete it. Then install that moded zip file and restore your data from the backup?
You can try to remove this file via file explorer in recovery, like for example aroma explorer.
Sent from Xperia Z2
Nope no good. Could only see /system/bin/ no other directories.
Thanks a lot for your comments. I tried toolbox with the same result as the previous tries. With aroma explorer I can only access to /system/bin/. So no luck for the moment. It seems that the only solution is install again the ROM without the file, but I still looking for other alternatives first.
Here is the solution: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/general/4-4-4-sony-ric-killer-t2953141
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.
Any help?

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
