Hi guys, I was trying to change my product code back from KOR, to OPS, but have now stuffed my phone
It can't receive calls, and or make them.
I copied the file out using Root Explorer, and then edited it using notepad, then copied it back using Root Explorer, and deleted the md5 file
I made a copy of the bin file, but even when I put the original file back in, it still doesn't work.
The only file I never made a back up of was the md5 file.
What am I doing wrong here ?
Help is most appreciated, as I am really stuffed
Cheers
Put your copy of the bak file in the efs folder and delete the bin and md5 and reboot. As long as your bak file is ok it will load a bin file from it on boot. Dont delete the md5 of the bak file or it wont work.
Edit: did u reboot after copying the bin file back? U never mentioned.

Will try that now, but thought I had already tried that.
I still have my IMEI, what are the chances of recovering my phone from this.
In case my nv_data.bin file can't be recovered ?
Cheers
If you still have your imei then you should not be having this trouble

You may need to change the file owner to 1001:1001
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk
By 1001:1001 you mean in Root Explorer, and file permissions ? If so exactly what do I do to get 1001:1001 ?
I can't make or recieve calls, my APN's are missing, would that stop me from making calls, I thought that only had to do with internet ?
Apn is internet we can fix the in a bit. Plug the phone into the computer with debug enabled. Then abd shell then su then chown 1001.1001 /efs/nv_data.bin

Thanks heaps, deleting the files and leaving the backups worked.
I am so grateful for your help.
One last question, changing the Product Code, should be as simple as changing the nv_data.bin file, and replace the old one, and delete the MD5 file ?
When using Root, do I need to be aware of file permissions etc ?
Cheers
My file permissions are rwx------ i changed my product code the same way and all worked fine.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk
Never mind the last question.
The Backup files replaced the KOR product code with the original ones.
So I am now back to where I wanted to be in the first place.
You sir are a true gentleman
Thanks Again
It may be something as simple as the owner was incorrect. Now that you know you can fix it you can try that

Mods please make this sticky.
Before anyone flashes any custom rom further, be sure to back up your
/efs folder somewhere on your PC.
The /efs folder is a hidden folder. You wont be able to see it using a usual file explorer e.g astro. You will need to be root to do so using root explorer for e.g.
This is something found sticky in the galaxy s forums and unfortunately for some of us it is coming too late.
The backup might come handy anytime if ever you mess up your own with custom rom flashing.
Thanks
Edit: just for you to understand the situation, by messing up i mean where product code and imei of the phone gets changed to a fail-safe one and even nandroid backups are of no help.
What exactly is in /efs that we need to back up?
I actually have already flashed one rom and after that I could not make or receive phone calls. I ended up calling Sprint and after about an hour of tinkering on their end they got it working. Would this be due to something missing in the /efs folder?
Everything concerning ur hardware info in short. Bluetooth, mac number, imei, ....
Many of us have got this tampeted with and unfortunately we had no clue it was something important( despite numerous threads in the i9000 forums warning users of this and nobody had backups) ,
there is no fix yet.
Check the nexussense forum for more details.
But do make a backup please.
After that whole incident I downloaded Samsung's Reflash tool and restored my phone back to stock.
Since then I have reflashed a custom kernel, but so far all is well. What exactly should be in the /efs folder as far as files.
My /efs folder has
Code:
imei>bt.txt
uart_path
bluetooth>bt_addr
nv.log
lost+found
Could you tell me if I am missing anything. I checked my MEID by typing *#06# and it matches what I have on the box.
EDIT: the bt.txt file int he imei folder does not have my MEID in it. Is it suppose to be in there?
I just copied and pasted a back up using root explorer to my sd card. I am on miui NS4G when doing this should I be on a stock rom?

A custom rom doesnt normally mess with that folder, i thought...

Can the OP please post a method to do the back up before making it a sticky tab?
Pointless to make it sticky and we still had to find the way to back up ourself. LOL

Agree even though it is pretty easy with Root Explorer. Just go to the root of the phone and find the folder called "efs". Long press the folder and choose copy. Go to the "sdcard" and paste it. I also suggest connecting your phone to your computer and save the "efs" folder to your computer somewhere you'll be able to find it.
An alternative to root explorer, you can use IO file manager (I think it works)/
From this thread ADB is also very easy.
Open a terminal emulator or ADB on your computer and type
su
busybox cp -a /efs /sdcard/
back up the file on your computer and you're done

Nandroid doesn't touch this folder, it seems. Best to make a backup on your own to be safe.

Look at this thread here. People are losing their IMEI number and is resulting in no service. If you back up the efs folder, it saves this information in case it happens to you.
I pulled it to my sdcard and computer. The imei folder is empty. I don't see a txt file and the bin files are all weird coding

[REF] Manually change "sales code" (CSC selection) when multi-CSC won't allow you to
I've recently been getting annoyed with how, whenever I updated a firmware, on first boot the phone would still look for an invalid CSC code, which I had "removed" from the phone.
For example, none of the XEU CSCs currently available will allow you to change to / from XEU as those CSCs don't include other options. ... so if you've manually set your CSC to XEE using the *#272*IMEI# trick; there's no way to get back to XEU.
The solution is as follows: (yes, you need root)
1) Ensure the product code in your nvram.bin file is set how you want it, in this case XEU. (it's in the file twice, once on it's own and once at the end of the "I9100LKA" string. Both those should be at the end of line 215 of the file)
2) (and this is the new bit) - there's another file on the phone which stores the "Sales Code" - its the file that tells the phone what CSC to look for on first boot after flashing a firmware. This file doesn't change unless you can successfully use the *#272*IMEI# trick!
2a) Using a file browser that has root privileges, navigate to /efs/imei/ then look for the file "mps_code.dat"
2b) Open this file as a text document (making sure you're mounted R/W) and edit the string to whatever you want (in this case XEU). Note, you should only put in the 3 letter code, not the rest of the product code.
2c) Save the file and reboot the phone. Hey presto you're on a different CSC!
(and I *think* this trick works to change CSC (without actually installing one, obviously), without wiping the /data partition.
wow great work
ok maybe it's just me but I cannot locate the nvram.bin file anywhere????
I'm on ke7 cf rooted and using script manager to browse system, could u direct me pls as I am running around in circles here.

My method on SGS1 was to use custom rom from rom kitchen open that and just change the required CSC folder and files with new folder and files zip back up and install .
Does not work yet on SGS 2 due to being unable to rezip and install custom roms .
Work around has just been to copy the relevant \CSC folder and two CSC files + SW conf file to phone deleting originals . Files have been ripped from original firmware nandroid backup .
Factory reset and all changed .

No, because there is no "nvram.bin" inside the latest (-> KE2, KE7, KF1) stock firmwares!
And changing only "mps_code.dat" won't do the trick as this will only create a new "nv_data.bin" after next reboot.
And if you would delete this new "nv_data.bin" (hoping that the files will be recreated/replaced at next reboot, this worked with SGS like this) you will end up with NO ProductCode and an fake IMEI too! So you should be VERY careful modding anything inside of /efs!
I edited the nv data.bin as well from KOR to BTU is this not a wise thing to do on GS3?

Did you have any success? If so are you able to please share instructions?
I apologies in advance if this is not the correct place to post this.
I recently purchased a rooted and unlocked SGS2. Coming from a Jailbroken iPhone4, this is my first Android. For more than a month everything worked great with my Fido sim. However, all of a sudden I lost data connectivity. After reading forums and researching on Google I reinstalled/flashed the firmware, modem and so on. But the problem still persists. In fact now my sim is not even recognised.
Did a clean wipe and re-rooted using Odin3 v1.85
PDA: CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_KG6-v4.1-CWM4
Phone: MODEM_I9100XXKG6_REV_02_CL1044543.tar
Then performed a sim unlock using an app from Market.
Under 'About phone' the 'Baseband version' still say 'Unknown'
I don't know what else to do. Please help... Thank you

Sounds like your efs files got messed up, I don't think there is a way to fix it if you don't have a backup copy of your efs folder. Maybe Samsung can repair it for you.

Someone suggested "deleted the nv_data.bin and the nv_data.md5 in efs folder with Root Explorer, and renamed the .nv_data.bak into nv_data.bin, then restart."
Using Root Explorer I can access the efs folder. Where I can see all the files and my IMEI. But I cant make any changes as its read only. I have tried multiple code using terminal but I still can't access it.

I am in the same situation, is there any fix?
I fixed my problem by shutting down the phone, removing the sim card, booted, then the IMEI command returned a number.
I did a full backup of my efs folder. (nothing to do in solving the issue, but it was the time or never to do it).
Restarted, putting the sim back in, and voila.
iam in the same sitatuion .. :/
I've backuped my actual system /2.3.5 with CF Root Kernel 4.2 and restored the Original Firmware Backup i made at first day i've got the I9100
Then i try to copy out the /efs Folder, backup on my computer, restore the image from today and replace the /efs Folder from the stock rom... hope it works :/
// i think it works, but have to test - after restoring my backup i made 30 minutes before (with the baseband and imei problem (i backuped with this problem)) withhout chaning anything in the /efs folder it works, too.
I think some data after rebooting will be lost.. dont know.. have to wait and test :/

download KTool or HC-kTool from new Android market, make sure your phone has root permissions or super user, you know after you root you get it anyway, it has efs file that should have a backup for your imie, also get Root explrer and Rom Manaer they have access to efs file, you should watch Mobiletech reviews on YouTube, he also provides his own tool that he says will fix your imie.

Try clearing its data. If all fail, just re flash with mobile odin or pc odin. Just make sure not to flash the data.img if the rom has one. Flashing that would clear user data.

I will give instructions below so you can pull you system and boot.img and upload it so i can make a flashable.zip for everyone
and possibly a custom rom.
its actually very easy to do, so don't be put off if you are new to this stuff (i made a script to do most of it for you)
1.)
Download this small "adb and fastboot" package > link , extract it to a folder on your desktop,
2.)
Turn on usb debugging from developer settings on phone,
if you have no developer settings, goto: settings/about phone
keep pressing on build number until it says you are a developer, press back and developer settings should be at the bottom.
3.)
From the folder you just extracted double click "DoubleClickMe.bat" look for a popup on your phone and press accept.
4.)
Wait while it does its thing, and when it finishes you will have the whole system dump in the folder on your desktop.
5.)
Now to get the boot.img you will need to be rooted, continue where the system dump finished
by copying & pasting each line of code into the box
Code:
adb shell
Press enter
Code:
su
Press enter, and make sure the display on your phone is turned on so you can accept the superuser request
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p31 of=/sdcard/boot.img
Press enter, the boot.img will be on your sdcard
bumping this for greater visibility
I got the whole system dump on my desktop already but I can not root my phone
If you can get clockworkmod Recovery to boot (or installed), you can root this way:
Put attached file on internal storage.
Boot into Recovery (CWM)
install zip > choose zip from /sdcard
Please upload system dump to solidfiles.com or uploadhosting.co

How to Excluded my IMEI in the file?

no personal information is in the system partition, not even sure where the IMEI is stored but its definitely not the system,
think it has its own hidden partition with the serial number etc.
Thank you for your efforts.
As for the IMEI, it's not stored in the system per se, its in your efs folder, which is a system folder in the internal partition. I could be wrong, but flashing usually clears the contents in the efs folder, so it shouldn't be an issue.

What is an “EFS”?
EFS refer to a folder location called /EFS in Samsung’s Android devices. It is a very sensitive folder hidden within the deepest core of your smartphone’s internal file system and is very essential to the functions of our smartphones.
One of the very sensitive information you can find in this folder is the information regarding your phone’s unique IMEI number. As you may have guessed by now, it also contains other unique identifying numbers for your smartphone including the MAC address for your smartphone’s radios, as well as the MEID, ESN, as wells as the registered phone number for locked smartphones.

You're correct. My last device was an SIII, hence my ignorance in assuming it was a universal thing. Sorry for the confusion.
The point should still stand though, IMEI is not part of the image.
