[Q] Help with EFS restore - Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I have a verizon note 3 with mi9
I rooted via kingo and tried to back up my efs via:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2447342
basically I forgot to install busybox, the process did not work, the script modified my phone's files but i'm not exactly sure which ones
for example in the phone directory i dont have files in /efs (http://www.note2forum.com/forum/gal...dden-menu-dialer-verizon-galaxy-note-3-a.html)
i wanted to enable the Hidden Menu (Dialer) on Verizon Galaxy Note 3.
So I have unrooted via Kingo app now. And I did a factory reset. I still do not see any files in the /efs folder on the phone
I want to know what I should do to fix the EFS files.
My phone still works to make calls and have internet, but I'm afraid to do anything further.
Thank you in advanced

You can't see efs without a root browser. Unlikely there ever was an issue.

Thanks, okay I rerooted the phone. I am using ES file explorer and I can see alot of files in the folder efs/ now. I'm guessing they are all there since my phone seems to still work.
anyways below is what the script I was using was doing, maybe someone can explain whats going on, and confirm stuff didn't get deleted. I have no idea whats going on there.

If the file completes, then you should be able to type in 'dir' and see class_structure_VIBRANT.txt in there

[Q] Understanding GladRoot Root script for 1.26-1.83

I was looking at the code for GladRoot (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1016060) and I had a couple of questions I was hoping someone could answer.
First of all, does anyone have the code for psneuter?
Secondly, if the goal of rooting is to Superuser.apk, why is temporary root access necessary? I've never used adb before this, but isn't the point that developers can easily do things like install applications using it? The superuser apk might grant super user access after it's installed, but before that it's just like any other apk.
I'd appreciate it if someone could answer these questions. Thanks.
Anyone want to help me out? Doesn't seem like too hard of a question...
Id take a look at What is root access on google. It sounds like you have no idea about the basics. There is a ton of info for beginners even on this site. If I misunderstood you I apologize but your question would only leave me to believe you need to learn the basics. Good luck

Gladroot doesn't give temporary root access either unless it changed.

Well I'm definitely a beginner, but not that beginner. I'll show you what I'm talking about:
Code:
rem If we do, since we need to run several commands as root, use psneuter to
rem temporarily root the device.
echo.
echo Obtaining temporary root access...
%~dp0adb push %~dp0bin\psneuter /tmp/psneuter > NUL 2>&1
if not errorlevel 0 set message=Unable to send psneuter. && goto abort
set retval=
for /f "tokens=*" %%l in ('%~dp0adb.exe shell "/bin/chmod 6755 /tmp/psneuter > /dev/null 2>&1 && echo PASS"') do set retval=%%l
if "%retval%" neq "PASS" set message=Unable to chmod psneuter. && goto abort
set retval=
for /f "tokens=*" %%l in ('%~dp0adb.exe shell "/tmp/psneuter > /dev/null 2>&1"') do set retval=%%l
if "%retval%" neq "" set message=Unable to execute psneuter. && goto abort
echo.
echo Waiting for root access to kick in...
timeout /t 5 /nobreak > NUL 2>&1
So what I said was correct. GladRoot definitely get's temp root access. After it does that, it changes some settings and installs superuser.apk:
Code:
rem Remount the /system read/write.
echo.
echo Mounting /system as read/write...
%~dp0adb.exe shell mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p12 /system > NUL 2>&1
rem Install sqlite3 for additional system changes required later in the script.
rem This is silent because it shouldn't interfere with anything even if it's
rem not used.
%~dp0adb.exe push %~dp0bin\sqlite3 /system/bin > NUL 2>&1
%~dp0adb.exe shell chmod 6755 /system/bin/sqlite3 > NUL 2>&1
echo.
echo Ready to root.
echo.
pause
rem Let's root!
rem Check for duplicate busybox installation and remove it.
echo.
echo Cleaning up SuperOneClick mess...
%~dp0adb.exe shell "find /system/xbin -type l | xargs rm" > NUL 2>&1
%~dp0adb.exe shell rm /system/xbin/busybox > NUL 2>&1
rem Copy su over and set permissions for use.
echo.
echo Rooting your device ...
%~dp0adb.exe push %~dp0bin\su /system/bin > NUL 2>&1
%~dp0adb.exe shell chmod 6755 /system/bin/su > NUL 2>&1
rem Install the Superuser app for allowing other apps root access.
echo.
echo Installing Superuser app...
%~dp0adb.exe install -r %~dp0bin\Superuser.apk > NUL 2>&1
echo.
echo Root complete.
echo.
So again my question is why do you need temp root access to install superuser.apk?
Temp root access is needed because superuser is installed in system/apps in the system partition. Without root a user does not have read write permissions in the system partition. This means a user cannot uninstall apps or install apps with out root permission. Temp access allows a script or person to modify the system partition, in this case it gives apps access to permanent root. The source code for psneuter is here.

Yeah that pretty much sums it up. Gladroot was and still is my method of root. I wish I could unlock the boot loader with my current 1.8.3 setup I have and not lose anything. If anyone has a solution I would really appreciate it. I like my phone how it is but want to be able to make nand backups basically. I am not huge on CM7 and it doesn't seem like there are many stable roms for the Atrix right now.
You can there should be a pudding for 1.8.3. I remember using it. It wipes data and allows you to unlock the boot loader if you choose. HERE
Just choose the correct sbf to download and then follow instructions in thread.

Need nudge in right direction. Un-rooting Droid X

Guys, need a nudge in right direction.
EDIT: I am running stock ROM
I have a rooted DroidX. Will be getting RAZR MAXX next month and want to sell my DX. So i want to take it back to stock to sell.
I have searched but couldn't find anything close to my situation.
Any ideas would be appreciated or can I just do a factory reset?
Here are the specifics.......
Had DX running .605.
I rooted using this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pxks-o2cd7E&feature=plcp
This is the version of the script I used.. I still have the script but there is not an "unroot" option in it.
Code:
echo ***************************************************************************
echo * *
echo * DROID 3 Easy Root script v7 *
echo * *
echo ***************************************************************************
echo *
I can post entire code if needed.
Here is where I am running into my specific problem.
When .621 OTA update was coming down, I installed OTA rootkeeper.
I took the OTA update and was able to retain root and be on .621
Only other mods done were supercharger (which I reversed to stock) and a mod to get wifi hotspot going.
The hotspot mod I did was a complicated one. Downloaded some program from Motorola and went in and edited some values in a database in the phone.
Where can I go to figure out how to reverse this back to stock so I can sell it in good faith?
Unfortunately I was extremely new to all of this when I rooted it and didn't think about going back.
I have a full Titanium Backup of the system after root and before .621 update.
Heck, here is the entire rooting code if it helps.

Lol didnt mean to thank you but oh well...
Any ways lol to OP you can factory reset a hundred times and you still won't remove root.
Why remove root anyways you'll sell the phone faster and save someone the hassle of rooting again
As for the regs who don't know that root is... meh. Again won't hurt the phone in any way.
You will have to sbf back to what ever firmware you want. Afaik it's the only way to remove root. I'm not experienced enough for manual removal, and sbf is so simple and hassle free...when done right.
Easy to f-up if not lol.

I just checked ebay completed autions. Rooted phones do sell fast and are selling for more!! Great. Thanks for the tip.
If I do a factory reset, then it will go back to stock except it will leave root?? The main thing I was worried about was with the OTA upgrade.
If all else fails I will sbf with version .621 (afaik you can't go back further once you have .621 OTA) then re-root.
I did the same I had a deal and bought two DROIDX and rooted both then upgraded but kept root same way you did but my brother got a new phone so I went to market and downloaded an app called ginger unroot and bam full unroot. I even downloaded su and a root checker but no root. Hope this helps
Sent from my DROIDX using xda premium
Instead of SBF'ing I just did a factory reset. And it did in fact keep root.
Thanks guys.
Here's what ya do:
Factory reset
You will still have root.
Inform prospective buyer about rootkeeper.
Instruct them exactly what to do (don't make this part of your auction, just offer the advice after the sale;
make sure they know:
ota update =by by root)
Once buyer sets up their Google act and installs rootkeeper buyr can now ota with out worries of loosing root.
I just sold my dx and did this exact same thing.
Buyer was more than happy.
Hope that helps and glws

[Solved] Help error flash recovery !!

hi,
By mistake I flash a i9500 recovery on a 9505 and it installed (see picture) and erased my EFS.
I flash a stock with spit, then replaced the EFS (which I had saved on the PC), but each reboot EFS disappears! and the image returns.

[Solved] Please help misflash Recovery, factorymode with empty EFS file and no backup

I'm with 9505 internation HK unlocked handset, and i mis flash recovery without making EFS folder backup. Now i'm in factory mode with yellow text and no lock screen and power menu. Try several ways from other thread, seem this following thread is quite similar problem as mine http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2395210 but i cant solve my problem with the solution in the thread.
su
rm /efs/FactoryApp/keystr (no such file or directory)
rm /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode (no such file or directory)
echo -n ON >> /efs/FactoryApp/keystr (no such file or directory)
echo -n ON >> /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode (no such file or directory)
chown 1000.1000 /efs/FactoryApp/keystr (usage: chown <user>[:group] <file1> [file2] ...)
chown 1000.1000 /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode (usage: chown <user>[:group] <file1> [file2] ...)
chmod 0744 /efs/FactoryApp/keystr (usage: chmod [OPTION] <MODE> <FILE> -R, --recursive change files and directories recursively --help display this help and exit)
chmod 0744 /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode (usage: chmod [OPTION] <MODE> <FILE> -R, --recursive change files and directories recursively --help display this help and exit)

Surety, because actually i'm one by one benefit from few post as well (you too, Big thanks to you as well). But i'm new here and not much knowledge about these things much and nor developer, just try to make it most understandable as possible per below
As i said i cant mount EFS folder so i need to know first where is it contains, you need root, busy box and android terminal installed.
1.check folder efs by enter into recover and try mount your EFS, it should be fail. Then you check the LOG and you will see the folder that make it error note it because you need to use it
2. reboot and enter android terminal and type below (in my case i note the folder that error is "mmcblk0p10" without quote (credited to this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2389962)
su
mke2fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p10
mount -w -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p10
reboot
Once the device reboot then
At this stage your EFS folder will not gonna be empty no more. I do copy the whole folder to the safe place (i think this is not required but i did)
3. enter in to android terminal again and type (Credited from you samersh72)
su
rm /efs/FactoryApp/keystr
rm /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode
echo -n ON >> /efs/FactoryApp/keystr
echo -n ON >> /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode
chown 1000.1000 /efs/FactoryApp/keystr
chown 1000.1000 /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode
chmod 0744 /efs/FactoryApp/keystr
chmod 0744 /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode
reboot
And then the magic done it's wok and my device reboot with no more factory mode and yellow tex, as well my power menu and lock screen comes back. Thank you all you guys and XDA that revive my device for good. I would ever never do anything rather than backup my EFS folder right after everytime. I spent 1 month on this and finally get it done. Thank you again you guys. If any help needed from anyone on this i'm glad to help as much as i can.
