He means efs folder. If you flashed the initial cm7 there should be a folder called backup on your SD card. Inside all your IMEI information should be there. Search the forums for more information on this problem. There are SEVERAL other users that have experienced this problem as well as resolved it.

If you look at the very bottom of the first post it's the instructions on how are you going to restore it.
If I were you Id make sure you lost your efs data.
Did you check the /efs folder to see if its empty?
Okay i tried the busybox command and it doesnot work.. i also tried thre others
Is your phone unlocked?
I have some files here which you would just put your efs folder then it will restore it for you. But i really can't remember the exact process.
I tried doing that with linda file manager but it said read only... kinda sucks cuz that would have been easy... anyways.. i have all those files on the root of my sd... i also tried modifying the code by adding /sdacard/ before /nv_data.bin to select were the file is (root of sdcard)
Don't edit anything on your original efs folder.
Ok, i have the files uploaded. But before anything please don't blame me in case whatever happens to your phone. I used this in the past because my IMEI also got screwed. It's your decision whether you're going to use it or not.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/23360211/insert_efs_save.zip
Here's how i remember it.
1. So you there's an efs folder there and you replace that efs folder with your original efs folder. Again, your going to replaced it not put inside it.
2. You have to be rooted of course, and connect your phone while on USB debug.
3. There's a file called in insert efs folder.bat you click it and it's going to show you what to do.
4. Pray that it would work.
Again, please don't blame me. It's your phone so don't do this if you're not comfortable doing it. But hey, you've got nothing to lose.
Wait what rom are you using right now?
Im using cm7 n im gonna try that now
Try to go back to stock first if you're going to try it, back up your efs folder to your computer.
Wait stock as in jfd? And i already have my efs backed up, when i flashed the initial cm7 it backed it up... but if i go stock i can get everything back to normal by just simply doing an odin right? Cuz when i do go back to stock, i plan to just go use simply honey hkney instead...

Odin plus JFD + the right pit file also check the re-partition. Then root and restore your efs.

I have come across at least 10 people now that the below method of restoring your phone, after trying EVERY other way that you can think of, works for
I can not, and will not, guarantee that this will work for you, but, it does seem to work when all else fails..
Now, i can expect of you to have tried at least a few of the following before doing this:
- a CWM Data Wipe
- a CWM Backup Restore
- a (EC07/DL17) clean rom flash (from within CWM)
- a (EC07/DL17) ODIN Restore (Be Careful, heed and read my warning i posted within this same thead before doing this)
IF you have exhausted your creativity with trying to fix your phone, try this:
First, download the following:
Heimdall Frontend: https://github.com/downloads/Benjamin-Dobell/Heimdall/heimdall-suite-1.3.1-win32.zip
Samsung Fascinate's Stock Param.lfs: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/18259212/Phone/stock_param.lfs
Continuum Original Recovery [EC07]: http://www.mediafire.com/?pz8p4axk114092j
Continuum Original Param.lfs [EC07]: http://www.mediafire.com/?7isd5m1dbze6a0t
7-zip (or Winrar for the losers ): You find it!
I am going to make this part quick
Put the phone is Download mode, and install the driver for Heimdall with ziag.exe within that zip... (you will need to check options --> list all devices).
Put the fascinate param.lfs into the param.lfs section.
Extract the original recovery with 7-zip (or other such programs)
Put the extracted file in the Recovery Section in Heimdall.
Click Start
From there, the program should flash the files, and your phone should reboot... You should see scrolling yellow text, and then.... Rejoice
Your phone should be working okay now, but Just to be safe, make sure you restore the original param.lfs before you get too comfortable
If you experience any difficulties, just post them down there vvv ... Again, this is only to be attempted if you have tried everything else
First I can say this method works to get it back up and running (see threads below on what I went through.) With that trailblazer. I haven't re-activated this phone yet because I'm waiting to make sure it works this time. I wanted to turn on wifi to verify I have root (i.e setcpu, titanium, something to that affect.) I can see the wireless signals but I can't connect, any ideas. I would like to have this "stock" version working with a workable nandroid in case, but I guess I dont have to.
edit: you may also want to put this in development instead, probably doesn't matter but I look there first personally for fixes.
yeah, i have heard of this issue with other people...... What other people did to finally fix it was restore a Nandroid backup.... In your case, you can't do that
I would suggest getting blue cwm up and working, and flashing any of the Clean Roms within it.... Making sure you do a data wipe... That's all i can really say :|

My phone suddenly went bonkers this afternoon, didn't have any signal and the IMEI was blank. Using stock rom KI8 with speedmod. It was running fine for days but I don't know why it did what it did for no reason at all.
Good thing I backed up my /efs folder with an app. I had a problem with restoring my efs backup using the .img but for some reason with the .tar it works (thank God I backed up using both ways).
I'm wondering why it just suddenly did this on its own? Wasn't doing anything extraordinary with it. Odd.
The reason why a backup is so important. I don't even want to see a service center. I take my precautions accordingly.

Haven't resolved everything yet actually. Why is it that using the img file to restore doesn't work. It just gets stuck. Though the .tar backup works.

My bad, I was under the impression you did.
So you say that your .tar backup works, yeah? What exactly do you mean by that? Or are you saying that you've managed to restore your IMEI (using the .tar), but still want to know why it happened?
If so, there honestly could be a plethora of reasons, including rouge apps, a ROM dev. who didn't check their work, etc. etc.
If you still need to fix it / want someone to share some of the more technical information, try contacting Odia, I know he is able to restore IMEI's without backups, so he'd probably be your best bet.

Thanks for pointing me to the right direction.
Let me set the facts straight. I was able to restore it using a tar backup. Initially I used an img to try to restore but that failed. Good thing that during the time I backed up my efs I was amused with the app and made both img and tar backups just for kicks.

I have a t-mobile g2 d801, I rooted then backed up my efs with freegee then installed nrg ROM. I decided to see if the restore efs would work so I used freegee to restore it. Then I flashed the latest stock rooted ROM and now I'm getting a reboot about 30 seconds after the Os boots a date my imei is gone. Please help

I can't give you specific help to fix this, but, I can advise that you make an extra backup of your EFS. Copy it off of your phone if possible. If not, just copy it to a different partition on your phone, so you have more than 1 copy in more than 1 place.
If you attempt to return to stock with T-Mobile flashing tool all the data on your phone will be erased. So moving a copy of the EFS backup off your phone is the first thing you want to do. If you can use ADB with the phone you can get a copy of it off your phone.
After that, I'd wait for someone with specific knowledge of this problem to assist you in fixing it. Assuming the backup of your EFS file is good, you will be able to fix your phone.

I was trying to install Rom Toolbox Pro, and then installed Lucky Patcher. So I patched the play store, it rebooted, did its thing.
Now, every 5 seconds is says "Unfortunately, Samsung keyboard has stopped." and I don't know how to fix it....
Also, I want that stupid Lucky Patcher off of my Play Store.....
The sad thing is, I forgot to make a backup of my play store......
PLEASE HELP.....
Shouldn't have messed around with lucky patcher. Don't know how to get that off of play store, but if you tell me what firmware you're on I can probably get your phone back to normal.

Backup everything, use titanium backup and Google. Then use Odin to flash the nc1 firmware. You can get it from sammobile.com. It's a zip file, use 7-zip to extract the.tar.md5 file from it. Use that in Odin 1.85, PDA slot.

You don't need to worry. Everything can be fixed. Titanium backup will backup your apps and their data.
Do you have titanium backup? If you do go into backup and restore and see if lucky patcher is there. If it is freeze it and that may solve your problem

Here are your options, you can flash with Odin which will return you to a like new condition. It will wipe your phone and you'll have to reinstall all your apps and data. Anything on your external sd card will be ok
Your other option is to see if you can uninstall lucky patcher and all the changes it has done. I don't know how to do that.

3 open Odin, then boot for device into download mode, power + home + vol down. Plug your usb cable into your device and pc.
