Watch and follow number 4, then number 5, and your X1 is as good as original.
Good luck!

auf die gleiche weise wie du es mit nem custom rom gemacht hast. lad dir das original rom runter und flash es

I downloaded this file http://rapidshare.com/files/250594947/APP_SW_X1i_GENERIC_AT_CDF1215-3299_KOV_R3AA007.exe
and got the problem its a Image file and not .nbh what i need
I have it
The file must only renamed but i was a little bit afraid to rename the image to nbh

Dont be afraid, just rename the image file to kovsimg.nbh, you wont brick the file.

rename the image file to kovsimg.nbh and flash with micro sd method

Help! Restore BML3 / STL3

Hi all mates!
I have a problem with my i9000... I explain my problem fast:
I have extracted the BML3 and STL3 of my phone to 2 files .img... I have duplicated this files to a backup and I modified it. Now, I can´t load the original bml3.img and stl3.img because the /dev/block/stl3 doesn´t exists... not are mounted... also when I restart my phone, the /efs/ directory is empty, and the phone dont ask me for the pin... (obviously, I don´t have call service) but, If I copy the nv_data.bin to /EFS directory, the phone ask me for the pin and I can make and receive calls...
Do you have some idea to load the original stl3 & bml3 files in the phone????
-------------------
well, now I have put the bml3 and I reboot, all is ok, but when I try to put the stl3 and I obtain this message:
dd if=/sdcard/stl3.img of=/dev/block/stl3
/dev/block/stl3: cannot open for write: Invalid argument
but the stl3 partition exist! and I rooted the phone
ls /dev/block/stl*
/dev/block/stl1
/dev/block/stl10
/dev/block/stl11
/dev/block/stl12
/dev/block/stl2
/dev/block/stl3
/dev/block/stl4
/dev/block/stl5
/dev/block/stl6
/dev/block/stl7
/dev/block/stl8
/dev/block/stl9

all is done!!!
I had to reflash the phone after recover the bml3... Now all is OK but my IMEI... it has the famous 004999010640000 number but that is other history

Why in the Gods name you messed around EFS in that way?
If your IMEI is messed up, I recon so is your WIFI MAC and BT address too.

Do you try to copy the files nv_data.bin and nv_data.bin.md5 into /efs and then remove the battery without turning off the phone?

The same result

i had a similar issue with my nv_data files. i backed them up to my computer, then copied a set of nv_data files over from my gf's phone, and it gave the same issue. when i copied my original ones back, it still wouldn't work. seems the signature of the file is changed, and the phone doesn't accept it. your phone has a set of backup nv_data files on the phone in the efs partition. delete your bad nv_data files, shut off your phone, and turn it back on. the phone should recognize the files are gone, and use the backup files......worked for me
edit: just to clarify, only delete the .bin and .md5 files, not the .bak files.
leave: nv_data.bak & nv_data.bak.md5

Hello,
I'm having the same problem but only have the bml3.bak and the nv_data.bak and nv_data.bak.md5.
I updated the firmware to JPH and make the changes to restore the product code to KOR from XEC the original for my country and operator.
The bml3 was corrupted and in the next reboot the phone didn't ask for the pin code of my SIM card.
I try to restore the original files, but the efs is empty or write protected, with root explorer a mount to r/w and only if I connected by usb the phone ask for the pin, and I can access to phone network and can make calls a recive it but the IMEI is the tipical 004999010640000.
The stl3 is imposible to read or write from it. The nv_data.bin can not be reinstalled because pin is not recognise and in a reboot the files are restore to previous state.
I think the nv_data are store somewhere and when the file system is mounted as r/w the efs directory is recovery from there.
Efs directory only has and .android directory, and nv_data.bin, nv_data.bin.md5, .nv_state. No imei directory, etc
awia you has some good news, i'm from spain to, it's possible to speak somewhere in spanish.
Do you recomend to take the phone to SAT?
I bought it in the Telefonica FlagShip Shop in Madrid.

Hello,
An update over my previous comments.
If I used rootexplorer to paste .nv_data.bak and .nv_data.bak.md5 that I backup before and then go to efs directory and mount r/w and immediately copy the previous pasted files, then the process start and ask for my pin, and then the imei is restored. The problem is that this is temporal and only works in the current session, if you reboot the phone then you must to make the same steps. I don't know if I can make a sh to do this step more automatically, because I don't know how and what rootexplorer remount in r/w permissions, may be someone can help me in this tasks.
In my previous comment I said that the pin prompt only has shown if the phone is usb plug in but this is not true, works in all conditions.
About the process, I suppose the bml3 contains all the information and in the bootload process this bml3 set the stl3 and mount over efs directory but for some reason this is not working with my phone because the changes over the bml3, I don't know how can I reestablished it. I use the redbend_ua for that and the bml3 are now like my backed-up one, but still doesn't work.

[Q] CWM restore fails

Hello @ all,
I´ve made a CWM backup on my external sdcard. Now I want to restore this backup and all I get is an error saying MD5 mismatch. I read a while in this board (which often saved my life) and found out, that I had to delete the file nandroid.md5 (which even didn´t exist in my backup-folder). So i created a new, empty file. But no change, restoring my backup was not possible.
So please give me some hints what to do..
Thanks a lot,
Michael

Open a terminal shell, navigate to your NANDROID backup folder, and issue "md5sum *.tar.*> nandroid.md5"

[SOLVED] EFS Professional v2.1.73 show wrong /efs partition?

Hi guys,
I want backup my /efs partition to avoid mistakes if i flash new ROMs on my phone and I did read in the forums that some guys lost there IMEI number etc. because the /efs partition was deleted after flashed a new ROM. So now I want do a /efs backup to avoid this. But EFS Professional show the wrong partition of my /efs partition. It show mmcblk0p9 but DiskInfo show mmcblk0p11 (and i believe that mmcblk0p11 is correct).
I also did backup my efs via TWRP.
I have cyanogenmod 11 installed. Maybe CM11 cause this problem or have EFS pro a bug? I really want backup my /efs guys and I hope you can help me
Some infos about my phone :
Model number : GT-I8190
Cyanogenmod 11 installed
Baseband : I8190XXAMG4
Busybox version : 1.22.1
Problem solved : I made a efs backup via Terminal Emulator with success and it's much faster and it backup correctly than efs pro. Thanks to @tys0n for this trick

ESF Professional v2 doesn't work correctly, you need v1.

V1 doesn't work. It freeze always while it installing. :sly:

I find it much easier to back up all important partitions with dd command instead of trying to find a software that's compatible.
Once it's "bricked" you'll probably have to dd your backups back to phone thru adb anyway because backed up "raw" img's taken straight from device is not 100% safe to flash thru odin without repacking to samsung sparse images which is a lot of job imo.
To be completly safe (I think) there is three partitions.
mmcblk0p9 - cspsa.img
mmcblk0p11 - EFS.img
mmcblk0p12 - modemfs.img

I made a backup with EFS pro and it backed up the wrong partitions but one thing is good because it also backed up my efs folder (mmcblk0p11 partition) but EFS pro thinks mmcblk0p11 is modemfs2 (takes 16MB) and mmcblk0p9 is efs (takes 1024KB). Can I rename modemfs2.img to efs.img and restore it back to my phone if my efs get deleted ramdomly?
EDIT : how can i backup my efs partition with ADB? I don't know much about ADB and can I also backup my efs via Terminal Emulator?

Yes, you can just rename it.
To make a backup in terminal, example for efs:
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p11 of=/extSdCard/EFS.img

Wow it worked well and much faster than efs pro and how can I restore my efs.img with terminal? And did i backup correct? Is 16MB normal? Please check Screenshot I use first time terminal Emulator

It looks ok :good:
16MB is the size of the whole block. It's probably the best way to back up because you don't have to think about permissions on files and folders when you restore it. Of course you can zip it after so it takes less space, and keep the backups in a safe place
To restore you'll have to switch input and output.
Code:
dd if=/extSdCard/EFS.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p11
