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.
Now that i've finally managed to root my SNS, what should i do now? :O
(What are some good roms, etc)
Look at all of the choices available and find the rom you like the most.
I'd personally recommend,
Lightweight and speed: oxygen
Cm7 is another cool rom
Miui is good as well.
Kernel: netarchys 1.3.7 with proton voltage condolences to undervolt and use voodoo functionality

I'm a bit confused as to what I installed while I was rooting.
I installed Clockwork 3.0.2.4 but what exactly is this?

It allows you to flash custom Roms and perform backups (restore your phone to a given point in time)

OK, now before I rooted my phone I backed up my entire phone (copy and paste to desktop), but I still lost all my apps in the app store? any way of getting these back?

Yes, but you'd have had enabled back up to your Google account before you rooted and have to enable it on the rooted phone again, then the market will try to restore all apps.
If you didn't you got to do it manually (recommend doing it via webside market for easier accessing old apps), then get Titanium Backup and save all your apps.

No. Redownload them and back it up using a backup apply. I'd recommend tianjin backup pro. It costs $6 but its worth it. It backs up ur apps/games and data along with it.
Every rom flash involving a factory reset will wipe your apps. With titanium backup pro, you can one click restore everything

Ok,
Final question is that how do i go about installing the rom? I downloaded it and transferred it to the memory card.
I go into fastboot and into recovery.
Then.?

1. Download the ROM
2. mount the phone's USB
3. put it on the root of the /sdcard/ while mounted
4. unmount
5. go into recovery
6. wipe factory settings, data cache, dalvk cache (advanced)
P.S. i'd recommend getting clockwork 4.0.0.2 from the dev forums, its a lot better. better organization on wipes
7. flash the ROM (if you're flashing CM7, you have to flash Gapps afterwards) [flash zip from sdcard]
this flash applies to any flashable zips including kernels/roms/radios... DO NOT FLASH BOOT ANIMATIONS. you put them in /system/media/ if you choose to do so
8. reboot
how do u install teh clockwork 4.0.0.2?

download respective to your phone model
put it in /sdk/tools (you need adb environment setup)
go into bootloader mode
type "fastboot flash 4002-orange.img" or whatever color you downloaded.

No? Not sure where you get "HTC Sync" from. This is a Samsung phone, not a HTC one.
Change log:
1. EXT4 support.
2. Large file system support (e.g. /data > 2G).
3. Updated reboot recovery mode.
4.Add Advanced Backup
5.Using 32bit image display,Support before the phone can not enter recovery mode
6.Adjust the menu items displayed
To install (you need root):
1. Backup /cust_backup/image/recovery.img
2. Download, extract and place the recovery.img into /cust_backup/image/
3. Done.
To go to recovery:
1. Power off
2. Hold Vol+ and Power buttons to power on (hold both buttons UNTIL you see the recovery)

Thank you @genokolar!
Advanced backup one of the best thing in recovery now!

Is there any chance to make fonts bigger? It's very difficult to read and too bat the big X5's screen to don't be used.
So with all the improvements what differences can we see in the real usage?

Very good work Geno! But is it supposed to look like this after a normal backup?
What's the difference between this and Perfect Recovery 4.0.0.5?
The backups that are produced by both recoveries are compatible?

I want to install this, but I don't have root. My rom version is B138 and I haven't found any tutorials on that rom.

GingerBreak worked fine (I think), so the problem is solved.

Clockwork does restore contacts, settings, sms, etc, in short, it makes a snapshot of your phone in any given time, and then, when you restore, your phone returns exactly how it was before. If contacts, settings and other stuff isn't being restored in your phone, when you use clockwork, then you're doing something wrong for sure...

HOW it's even possible to do something wrong if all you have to do to backup and restore-is click on 1 menu item in restore menu? STrange but for me it only restored apps, that's it no settings nothing.
Maybe it's a stupid question but anyway... I wonder where is a location of backup witch is made in CMW-based Recovery 4.0.1.5?
Because I am making a lot of backup's and upgrades these days so I'll have to clean up it some how.
Guys I'm from the x10 mini pro section I wanted to flash custom firmware for my sister's device but she didn't like it so I flashed back to stock using odin now most of her contacts get removed after each reboot aqnd we need to use a backup to restore them I flashed back to stock using odin and since I'm from egypt I flashed the FIRST middle east firmware (there were 2 egs in the list and everything works but the conttacts thing and thx)

Just simply back-up your contact thru your external memory or sd card..just go to contacts then press menu,,and click import/export then choose export to sd card..Every time you reflash another ROM, just go into the MY files and look for a file which has .vcf..that's your contact list you back-up earlier, apply it! and now it's restored! :victory:

I recently rooted my S3 i747 and then installed cyanogenmod 10. Keep in mind I am not a wiz at doing these things, however it did work. Here in lies my problems. 1. I hate this OS with a passion. Its just not what i thought it would be so I would love nothing more than to figure out how to remove it and return to stock firmware or another custom rom. 2. If i stay with this rom (for not being able to figure out how to remove it and install another) I am running out of storage internally. Its a great possibility I could have done something wrong. so with that being said, can anyone help me? I have tried more websites than I care to. thanks so much!
backup?

Well what I did was follow along a youtube video... Which in turn may not have been the best idea. I remember doing some sort of back up on clockwork or something like that. I tried to go to recovery mode and restore but that didnt help. Im not sure what all I did to be honest. :/

edit... Pull the battery on your phone and put it back in. Hold up vol, home button and Power till you see the little words in the top left corner. It should say booting recovery really small. at that point take your finger off of the power button only and it will boot into Recovery.
If you have CWM recovery or TWRP you are golden...
Or else... see below
Find your phone in it's section you should be able to find a method using Odin to flash it back to stock and then you can read up and find the way to do everything you want.
Just do your research and look through the forum for your phone type/carrier and you should be able to find all of the information that you are looking for.
Search and you shall succeed!

why do you guys make things so complicated? the guy wants his phone back to stock.
The only thing you have to do is to go to www.sammobile.com/firmwares. Then put your phone number i9100 in the search box and choose any of the roms below. They are all stock, 2.3/4.x.x etc. The rom is in a zip file, however, you have to extract the tar file inside it.
Power off your phone then, while holding vol down, press and hold power.
Open odin in your pc then connect the phone to pc while being in download mode. press the pda button in odin and insert the .tar rom whoch you have just extracted. press start and you are done.

Well returning to stock is just as easy as finding a stock ROM in his phones thread and flashing it, it'll be better in the long run that way as well because maybe he'll learn something.
