[Q] Can I flash efs backup with ODIN?

Hi people!
My phone is bricked and I found a backup of my efs (efs.rfs), but I can't flash because I only get crash in ODIN.
What can I do? What's wrong with ODIN?
Best Regards,
Cristian Silaghi

Have you done a nandroid backup? And also can you access to CWM? If yes try to erase everything.
And for odin do you used download mode? Try to unzip the stock rom and put it correctly in program then use download mode, connect your phone and let's start till it finish.
If everything don't work, go to S.A.V and say you don't know what happen'd to your if your warranty is safe.

No, I didn't done a nandroid backup.
It's just flickering when I boot up and when I access CWM.
Yes, I used download mode.
Do I need a special archiving mode for ODIN?

Go to cwm, wipe everything and then flash a new rom like dreamw or another rom. And then when flash is finish wipe everything again.

I can't access Recovery Mode/CWM. It's flickering the screen. What can I do it's just access Download Mode. There's a chance to make phone work if I flash my original stock firmware (but I can't find on the internet firmware stock from Orange Romania, Froyo version, that version which came with the phone).

Then flash a stock firmware this is the most simple for save your phone

I repeat: I can't find my original stock firmware from Orange Romania. Nobody leaked it...
I tried some "miraculous" firmwares which worked from some users, but I think that firmwares was the original ones which came with those phones.

Contact this user.
U are not clear, if ur phone is bricked nothing can be done.
Of course they are not 100% original firmwares but they work and that is all that is needed.
As u can access download mode just flash a GB stock firmware.

But if I have access in Download Mode, and nothing else works, what is this? Just a simple flickering?

I installed "Galaxy Ace Unlock".
The screen is flickering when I start the phone and when I access CWM/Recovery Mode.
Only thing what works is Download Mode (without flickering).
ODIN just crashes (Galaxy Ace Unlock made a backup, but that backup cannot be flashed in ODIN, at least in my case) when I try to flash EFS.
Maybe ODIN doesn't support of flashing EFS backup in GT-S5570... Can anybody confirm that I'm wrong?

Galaxy ace unlock? Did i miss something? I tought you cant flash ace things on mini. However, i got the stock rom here: http://www.mediafire.com/?zx83r9p30zqxd6r
Its stock 2.3.4 for galaxy mini.

This is a tutorial i helped someone else with:
I think you already got the files, in case not download them again.
--WARNING-- Your phone must be charged to 90% or more, to prevent flash failure.
okay, put your phone in download mode. (power button, home button, and volume down button at same time) connect it to usb, and start odin.
Select ops file,
than select the boot file, named: APBOOT_S5570XXKPI_CL260130_REV02_user_low_true.tar.md5
Select Phone file: MODEM_S5570XXKPI_CL260130_REV02.tar.md5
The PDA file: CODE_S5570XXKPI_CL260130_REV02_user_low_true.tar.md5
and as last the CSC file: CSC_S5570SERKPI_CL260130_REV02_user_low_true.tar.md5
--MAKE SURE THIS IS RIGHT, AND ELSE YOUR PHONE CAN BE FATAL BRICKED!!!--
okay, all good?
right. click start.
wait till your phone reboots,
THEN, remove your usb cable.
and then the last part: Have fun!

Ps. Did you install kies drivers? If not no wounder why you bootloop.

/efs backup can help you only when your IMEI gets corrupted and you don't have gsm network. That means you can boot Android, but you will have problems with baseband.
You have another type of problem, right now efs can't help you, you must boot into system first.

domini99, tried already to do that. Without success
---
domcale, the app "Galaxy Ace Unlock" made a backup of /dev/block/stl5 (called "stl5.rfs") which I found on memory card.
If I can't boot up in system/CWM/Recovery and I can enter in Download Mode, what this means?

Can't enter recovery? Dunno why you can't, but if you can enter download mode, then you can flash stock rom using Odin

Galaxy mini 2 Bricked

Sorry I didnt know there was a topic already made. I accidently flashed with CWM a rom that was not made for galaxy mini 2. So is there a way to unbrick it using odin?

You could follow my TUT here. xD

Next time, please, check carefully what you're flashing.

Thank you all for your comments.

Will do.

How could you even flash it since the updater-script cancels installation if the device name/model number is not in the list?

Idk, i downloaded it and installed with CWM 6.0.2.8. I havent had any error or warning.

If you can access the Download Mode flash the stock firmware.. mine can't even acces the Download Mode even with USBJig, it still shows a white line..

he had a soft brick, you had a hard brick.. take it to the service center

This should be posted in Q n A not in Android Development.

then report it...posting there is waste of time...since most or all of mini 2 users are here...

I gave link, guide is already here :cyclops:
Download the Pre-Rooted firmware that matches the firmware your using.
Extract the RAR file, you will end up with a folder with two files in it.
SYSTEM_YOURFIRMWARE.tar.md5 and CSC_YOURFIRMWARE.tar.md5
Close any KIES application that might be open.
Open ODIN.
Select the file SYSTEM_YOURFIRMWARE.tar.md5 as PDA.
Select the file CSC_YOURFIRMWARE.tar.md5 as CSC.
Verify that ONLY "AUTO REBOOT" and "F. RESET TIME" are selected.
Do NOT select "Repartition"
Boot your phone in "DOWNLOAD MODE" by holding POWER + HOME + VOL. DOWN
Plug your phone usb cable to your computer.
If you've never connected your phone to your computer in download mode you'll have to wait for it to install the drivers
Click the "START" button and wait for it to finish.
Do NOT unplug the usb cable before ODIN finishes its job.
If you did everything correctly, after a few minutes, ODIN will show the message "PASS"
Then you can remove the usb cable.
Your device will reboot in Recovery Mode and will finish the installation.
When it finishes, it will reboot and start the Android System.
Now, go to the "Google Play Store" and Install the app "Super SU" (or "Superuser").

You installed GB kernel over JB system, that is not gonna work. Do what Patlcs told you. You can install just kernel, remove md5 from stock firmware, open it with WinRAR or 7-zip and remove all except kernel files (two of them). And flash them via Odin.

If you modify .tar.md5 file, the md5sum will be mismatched giving invalid file while trying to flash...

1. What problem?
2. He flashed GB kernel over JB - that is his problem.
3. How to downgrade - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2195673
4. Solution to have TWRP on JB is to install CoCore kernel with TWRP recovery, just go to developer section of our phone and look for CoCore thread.
