I did a n00b move and integrated the Music2.apk into my system files and now the 4.2.2 upgrade keeps crashing because the checksum fails. I found the files but when I try to put them back into the /system/apps directory, the date changes so the checksum keeps failing.
Is it possible to take the files from a titanium backup or something to restore. My original backup is corrupted so I can't get the file from there.

Hi,
I've flashed a new ROM, and found that my IMEI is now 004999010640000 (Generic)
I have a backup of my efs folder.
How do I restore it from the backup?
It looks like when I delete the efs folder, the system recreates it automatically...
What's the way to do it?
Thanks
Gil
I fixed this problem and it took me 4 hours to fix it!
Your real IMEI show on under the battery where you see the model phone.
You need to copy the numbers (without the / if u have this) to this website http://www.adamek.biz/md5-generator.php this website make ur imei to md5 .
After you have created the md5 go to efs folder via root explorer and you need to see the file (.nv_data.bak.md5 or nv_data.bak.md5) On this file you see the md5 of the currety copy the md5 u created to the files and close everything and restart ur phone
I already have a working efs backedup
I already have a working efs backed up!
The thing is that when I copy the files from the backup on the efs folder, they get reverted automatically... I don't know what's doing it...
The backup date is older than the current files... this might be the problem...
but how do I make it work?
Is the security and permissions set up correctly on your backup efs?

Did you tried to delete the folder and replace the efs folder backup?
I think you have to copy both the files and the hidden files (starting with a dot) from your backup..
The files with a dot are there to prevent you from accidentally deleting your originals and be left with nothing
The only files I see are:
1) .nv_state
2) bluetooth
3) imei
4) lost+found
5) nv.log
6) nv_data.bin
7) nv_data.bin.md5
Should I choose the file that says: "nv_data.bin.md5"?
If you have backuped your efs folder, this thread can help you:

I think there is a lot of confusion going on around here... so just to be clear...
What file should I have in my efs backup, including the hidden one?
Thanks!
No backup of EFS folder. I believe it was during my attempt to backup that I corrupted the folder.

I have the same situation, same files as posted above, anyone has any idea?
Hello
I rooted my phone using hardcore's speedmod kernel as shown in the CyanogenMod webpage and then inmediately backed up the /efs folder doing a tar using an Android Terminal Emulator
However, the MD5 files information don't match the files themselves
For example
The MD5 string contained in .nv_data.bak.md5 doesn't match .nv_data.bak
The same for the other files as well.
Is my /efs corrupted? My phone has never been touched before, just stock roms applied thru Kies
I have noticed a new folder has popped up in the /efs folder called "lost+found". Why did it go there?
Do yu have another suggestion to backup the /efs as well? seems doing tarballs looses UNIX/Linux permissions
Thank you.
resotre only one file and reboot

I had same problem when I install jelly bean first time on my I9000. After reading of some articles about efs folder I decided to restore only one file .nv_data.bak. And it works. I have done in following steps.
1) Backup full efs folder. (For safty purpose only)
2) Deleted both files nv_data.bin.md5 & nv_data.bin
3) Restored nv_data.bin only (No need to put back md5 file)
4) Restart the phone
Let me know if it works.
Hello
My phone works. It's just I have noticed the backup I made at the beginning just after I rooted my phone don't match. But the backup itself.
The backup files don't match their own .MD5 in the backup itself
Thanks!
Any ideas of why these files don't match?

Hello
I've also checked that once in a while, some of the files inside /efs such as nv_data.bin and nv_data.bin.md5 change their modified date.
Any idea of why this happens and why the MD5 data doesn't match?
Thank you.
I think I might have messed up when i was updating a ROM, and now when I start up my phone, it's telling me that android.process.acore stopped, bunch of apps stopped, and the camera/dialer/gallery are missing. I made a backup using cwm prior to this, but when I try to return to the backup, cwm says there's an MD5 mismatch. I understand that in order to fix the MD5 mismatch error, I need to find the "nandroid.md5" file, which is located in the "backup" folder. The only problem is that I dont have a folder called "backup" in my clockworkmod folder, nor is it in my "data" folder. Does anyone know how I can find my cwm backup folder?
I was trying to fix the issue where you cannot download from torrent apps on kitkat. I found this post, http://trendblog.net/fix-kitkat-sd-card-write-restriction/, and modified my platform.xml file. After restarting, I was unable to get to my external storage. Most of my apps were crashing. I finally had to restore from my TWRP backup.
Note to self - Don't try modifying system files!
On a rooted phone, when i try to copy specific apk files to system partition, app or priv-app, it fails with error "copy failed" in root explorer, some other explorer states insufficient space, etc.
Does anyone know why this is happening and why the ROM is blocking the copy? Is there mechanism that is blocking the copy or move? Is there a way to copy it.
Strangely even recovery flashing though successful truncates the file, for e.g. a 14mb file shows up as 13mb and is corrupt and of no use.
Also tried skipping signature check by modding services.jar but no luck. ...inputs would be greatly appreciated
