Hi! Before my phone got broke i did a full backup of it with rom manager/clockworkmod. No it came back and i can't unlock it, the imei remains the same but for some reason it doesnt unlock!
When i do the clockworkmod restore my nv_data.bin & md5 remains the same.
Are those files in the backup i did? And if they are how can i extract them?

Neither /efs nor /misc but Nandroid seems to do it:
Android rooted: What is Nandroid Backup?

When you do a backup via ClockworkMod recovery, are the efs files included?
e.g. Theoretically would restoring a nandroid backup fix a broken IMEI?
I've searched and found conflicting reports.
Many thanks
push it really would love to know if it would restore it!

it really depends on how you made your nadroid back-up.
there are a couple of options when doing a nandroid back up.
if you select the "ALL" method then it will back up your system files as well as your EFS folder.
go try making a back up to see it for yourself via cwm.

Thanks for your reply. I tried to create a backup, but it seems my recovery is 3e rather than 2e so I can't. From what I've read I need a modified kernel with 2e. Does that mean I need to risk a flash before I can even backup?

wait.. back up a bit.. you said your were using clockworkmod recovery.. but now you're stating that you are using 3e recovery.
i was giving you instructions on how to do a nandroid back up in cwm recovery. i haven't touched 2e and 3e in ages.
go get cwm recovery and do the back up there.

If you look at the list on the 1. page, there's no efs.img, meaning you don't have a backup of /efs.
I think in order for cwm to take backup of efs, you have to use the newest custom kernels, as they include cwm customised for I9000. If you use the backup option on Rom Manager you'll have problems later.
I see i just scripted it to my pc and external sd perhaps thinking about putting it in a swizerland vault ;-)

Why would Rom Manager give me problems?
No idea i never used it cwm is easy to use and i allways backup there ...

ClockWorkMod Recovery does not support backing up of /efs partition yet. You should do it manually.
Is it possible to extract only /efs from the nandroid backup and more important to me, will an "old" backup do the job to restore an imei.
Re efs backup
Use online nandroid manager it backs up efs and whatever else you want. You can choose or let it do it's thing. :cyclops:

quite a bit of time past this post, so does CWM supports /efc backup when I do nandroid now?

If you backup whole build, yes it does.
It is nevertheless a good idea to backup your efs folder separately, by using ADB or with terminal emulator.
I saw the post for the Stock GRH78 2.3.1 and did not see one for the 2.3.2. So I figured I would save some people a little time by creating this.
Same steps apply from the Original Post and starter momohammed20: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884093
Or from the Unlockr Guide: http://theunlockr.com/2011/01/20/how-to-unroot-the-nexus-s/
Just instead of the file used in those steps use the one from here: http://www.mediafire.com/?p2ijd2dd2lkvn22
If anyone wants to mirror this no problem by me.
Credits to all the ones who deserve it I only take the upload of this nandroid backup and thats all. I tested it only on my phone and going from that it should work.
I am in no way responsible if you brick your phone while using the files i provided.
USE AT YOUR OWN RISK...
Yes this will WIPE your sdcard out so besure to back it up on your computer before doing this.
This nandroid backup was made by ClockworkMod 3.0.0.5
Why will it wipe my SD if it's just a nandroid???

No , this backup don't wip your sd , but the lock bootloader step will do it . Back up your sd to PC before relock bootloader
It didnt wiped the sdcard for me. All files still there.

Like tmhung said the lock bootloader step will wipe the sdcard. hence why i put it on there as a warning... if you do not lock your bootloader backup then no it will not wipe your sdcard.

Point is though BACKUP your stuff to avoid losing data.
got a md5 mismatch error when trying to restore to this.
Nevermind, it worked but I should have asked if it was rooted first =/
is this rom for the 9020a?
thanx, it works like a charm
Good morning!!!
Recently I have made a backup of my current Kuyadroid ROM with xrecovery. Everything went smooth. Now when I try to restore my backup it says MD5 mismatch...
Any clues?
Thanks in advance...
Im not sure but i think that since kuyadroid installs throw cwm, so you should do your backup throw cwm too....

I guess it is the most logical explanation. Or maybe my sdcard is messing.
Maybe, try delete this file.from sdcard and put it again it worked for me when i were have the same problem

I will try that. Thanks for the advice.
acctually it dont matter what recovery you use x or cwm they will restore backups properly. listen mount your phone to pc go to sdcard save all other roms to your desktop but leave the backup of the named rom. then go back into recovery and restore and it will work 100% its because you have to many backups on your sdcard at this time
Mayb dont space your filename...
MD5 mismatch is wrong filename try to rename last backup and dont space ok
Ok. I will try to rename file in the evening and try again to restore.
I will inform if i succeeded...

are some people stupid :S DO NOT rename the file you will corrupt it and will make it not flashable. you get MD5 missmatch when you have to many backups on your sdcard NOT wrong file name if that was the case it would state wrong file. please do NOT comment and tell him to do something which will destroy his backup only post if you can contribute and help not **** it up even more!!

I removed all other ROMs and backups from my SDcard. Then I tried to restore once again and again I got Md5 mismatch. To tell you the truth I only once managed to restore my system and it was Stock Eclair. If I remeber correctly I was on Kuyadroid ROM at that time when I rebooted to xRecovery and restored. The backup was made while on Kuyadroid as well.
I would really like to make it work somehow, because what is the point in making backups if i cannot restore them.

Ok. I deleted all the backups in the xRecovery and backup folder. Then I made a new backup of my current GDX v017 ROM and it is actually restoring now. I don't know whether it is going to restore my system later on. But at least I made some progress.
Restore complete.
I will try to restore my ROM in two days and notify whether I succeeded or not.
Thanks for all the help.
Ok. Restoring works now. I still managed to brick my phone with flashing Gingerxperia V8. Now I repaired it with PCC and restored my GDX version.
Thanks again for all the help!

I can't for the life of my install a stock nandroid to my HTC One. I have tried everything and i can't restore it to the BM___001 nandroid. I need to restore it to stock and i am out of tricks. Suggestions?
Want to give some more details? Which custom recovery are you using? What commands have you been using? What errors you get?

I am trying to install the BM____001 nandroid with CWM. I put the unzipped folder in the right location and cwm does see it. I tried flashing the straight zip and it fails. I try flashing through ROM Manager and it fails. I will re flash to get error codes for you.

You can forget about the rest of your attempts. CWM nandroids are not flashed. Just report back the error you got when you selected the folder to restore.

I thought you said CWM could see it? Was that a typo?
I'm guessing you're on a 4.2.2 ROM? CWM still thinks your sdcard is at /data/media not the new /data/media/0. Move the clockworkmod folder into /data/media and CWM should be able to see your backups.

Got it, and have restored with the CWM backup. Now once it boots, the touch screen does not work. Previously i was on GPe 4.3 and have since updated the firmware.
Downloaded the appropriate BM OTA from the RUU collection and tried to install it and it gives me CID missmatch. I changed from CID 1111111 back to BM___001 and it still gives me the same issue. So i pulled the firmware.zip from the OTA and flashed it via rebootRUU. It flashed sucessfully (both times) and restarted. Still the touch wont work.
I am at a loss with this thing.

Format data, but make sure you backup the the backup from phone to pc. Then load the backup back on phone, and boot to os. then reboot to recovery, and restore just your data.
Thank you for reply, I already did that but when I restor my data still go to bootloop again, anyway I did flash from and rooted it then restore mu data manually from TB
