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.

Easy hboot S-on recovery/img install or change up.

I haven't seen any post about fastboot flashing recovery,on an s-on Evo using fastboot . Since this is a guaranteed way to flash a recovery. I thought I'd share the process. Your phone must be in fastboot for this to work.
1. Install this folder in C: .... https://www.dropbox.com/s/pr4qllkvwo74vzk/e4grec.zip
2. Go to cmd and type. CD/e4grec .... you will see this..C:\e4grec>
3. Then enter this....fastboot flash recovery recovery-ra-supersonic-4.3-smelkus-mason.img
4.And your done, this same ,method can be used to flash any img file.
Don't worry if you not using the recovery I used as info all you have to do is change the name portion only (IE) (recovery-ra-supersonic-4.3-smelkus-mason)
The fastboot command and recoveries are already inside this folder as fastbootflashcmdReadme.txt.
You must use the entire folder do not remove anything but recovery img's. You can also place any img in this folder to fastboot flash.
I'm recommend that you use smelkus new recoveries as that are the shi#.smelkus ra recoveries can be found here..... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1661543
Mac and Linux adb and fastboot drivers now included.

Where you've typed fast boot in your instructions, it's 2 words. Shouldn't it be one word ? Fastboot?
And don't people already need to have the sdk installed to use this?
I ask cuz I finally figured out how to install sdk recently (big tip I never knew, gotta have Java installed d'oh) and have been playing a bit and trying to get familiar with fastboot and adb.
Thanks for your efforts

Yeah that's pretty funny I didn't even notice it was spacing it. This works without use of sdk. Its way easier to place a folder in C: and use cmd. This way anyone can make it work. Everything you need is in one folder. Evo drivers,fastboot and adb are inside with a few other need to haves so when you call the folder from cmd it will automatically initiate the right program for you. If you can't get it to work you can just install drivers,fastboot,adb right from the folder and it will work.

Neither...this is for flashing via hboot with s/on..

Went to download dropbox file and it said it was deleted...?

I will put it back up in a few sorry. I had to clean dropbox and deleted it by accident

Folders up i only put ra 2.3 inside as i dont have my recoveries folder anymore. there's a link to get more recoveries on OP enjoy.

[Q] fastboot mode

I have read some articles on here about this but my problem is slightly different. My ROM works fine but when I select to put my phone into recovery mode the fastboot mode text comes up I power my device off and it starts back up in cm 10.2. Since these seems to be a little different than others problems I've read on here I've been hesitant to try any of the solutions. And if it requires me to use a computer I only have access to a mac

So, install Windows on it... or run a live version. Or VM one.

That doesn't answer the problem on my phone.

Are you trying to reboot through the Rom our another app like titanium? Some if the root apps cab tell you if you have a recovery. Maybe the recovery is messed up so it forces to fastboot. Just my thoughts, no expert.

I am using ROM manager. thats what the problem is im pretty sure is the recovery is messed up. I don't know how to fix it.

Get flashify. Flash twrp or cwm recovery per your variant. They are posted around here on forums. Never flash anything again with ROM manager. It is what blew your recovery. You're lucky your ROM even works.

Didn't know that about Rom manager. Is it just because of our g2 or compatibility with the recovery?

I'm not sure, I just know it cant flash them right. Never looked into it. Could be due to boot loader problems, partitions, ect. Probably something simple.

Need serious help fast

Running twrp rooted stock rom on verizon. Everythings been fine since Ive had this which has been around a month. All of a sudden my phone restarts by itself and goes into recovery. I tried to restart and it just stays in recovery mode. I only have about 8% battery left now and have no clue what to do. Just plugged my phone in and I cant tell if its actually recharging. Anyone know what to do? Ive tried a restore and its still stuck in recovery. V2.6.3.3 any help is very much appreciated. thanks

How do I do that? its the stock rom. I never loaded one a different one.

Oh, I thought you were just using one of the stock ROM's from xda... not the actual one that came with the phone. However, you can try to push a new one to your phone with adb and flash that. Do you still have the recovery zip? Maybe recovery just went bad and you can reflash it...?

Here's one thread. You should Google it for other I instructions but there are tons of them. Also try to find the adb and/or SDK download files.
Sent from my LG-G2 using Tapatalk

OK, still working on this. Dont have but a few hours here and there to get this running again. Been to tons of pages reading, reading and more reading. Downloaded and installed SDK manager. I guess it also installs ADB. I found it within the SKD Platform-tools folder but when I click on it all it does is open, goes thru a ton of commands then closes. I also found it in C:ADB folder. Does the same thing. Doesnt stay open so I can type anything in it? Ive got flashtool installed also. I cant get into download mode on my phone either.
Also trying to go this route LG G2 Stock Firmware (Go Back to Stock) in General section but dont know exactly which file to download. Right now downloading the VS98010B_13 file. Probably need the VS98011A_01 but man it takes an hour to download. Which one do I use? Also dont know if I have the D800 or D802? My box says LG-VS980. Dont know if that matters. But again I dont think I can use this method as I cant get into download mode.
I do download the KDZ files and not the TOT files right?
Any other help would be greatly appreciated. thanks

Try the return to stock method with the vs98010b file first. Sounds like ur phone took an OTA hence the recovery bootloop. If u can get back to stock I'd root right away and stop any of the OTAs. U can just flash the 12B ROM and radios after installing a recovery.
Don't flash or use any files for d800 or d802, Verizon model is vs980.

OK, kept googling different things and kept reading pages from here and ran across this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2451696 [FIX] Installed TWRP and now you're stuck after OTA under G2 Android Development. Man, that fixed it and wish I wouldnt have flashed that backup I had now, took me back a month where Ive changed a few things on my phone since but I do have my phone back. Still would like to know which file to download so I have it down the road.

If your in twrp have you tried to aideload a ROM then see if it flashes? Just need adb installed on PC and setup, drivers installed and ROM on hand.....

Nexus 7

Hi guys!
Today my nexus 7 (wifi) got bootloop with the newest aokp rom. And the problem is that how i dont have any custom rom in my tablet what i can install from cwm. I can boot to bootloader and i can boot to cwm but i cant put roms what can i do now??
Thanks!

I'd say download a Rom to fit, unzip and grab the md5 tar file And flash it In odin if That's possible on A nexus. Just Happened to come across this searching for something else. Lol

I wasn't sure. Samsung may be the only device that uses an Odin program. I have a bricked Pantech that I can't find a program to flash any files with. I'd say just start searching the threads Typing different descriptions of your problem. Surely someone has had the same issue. If you have CWM Recovery, I'd say it's highly possible to use the side load option with ADB installed on a Windows 7 computer to flash the Rom you need. I've never done it but I know it's possible. I've successfully installed ADB/Fastboot on my laptop but I'm just now getting familiar with the commands and how to push files to a device. Hope i helped.

If u have the same problem what i had u should do this what i did:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1902016
U HAVE TO USE THE DRIVERS WHATS IN THE DESCRIPTION!!! I think this is easier than the fastboot it tooked me 20 minutes and now everything good, and if u want to put 4.4.x rom u have to upgrade ur cwm its important because if u wont upgrade it will say status 7 problem!
