Hello everybody.
I have recently upgraded to CM9 on my SGS i9000, and while doing so lost the contents of my /efs folder.
I have found a way to restore it - just open Root Explorer, give 999 permissions on the folder, and voila! all /efs files appear a few seconds later by magic, and phone works correctly.
However, once I reboot it all disappears again, and I have to go over this process once again.
I've seen somewhere on xda-developers a link on how to fix this (or similar) problem a couple of days ago, but can't find it anywhere right now.
Please help!
Thanks alot.

Thanks for the link, but I'm afraid I've already saw it, and that's not it.
My IMEI is OK, but after every reboot gets wiped.
The link only describes how to backup, restore, and create a fake one.

Well did you already think of using the search up there? If not, try: IMEI Optimus Black. And then after having read all those great and important threads, come back and say thanks next time try it on you own

Thanks, I've read posts that are related to the imei, and none has worked, try the method where you use the tutty program and also where you use the hyperterminal. So start this post.
I really do not know what to do, and try everything, the only thing is that if I have the backup of efs folder.
again, sorry for my bad english
anyone have any idea? please: (

I don't know if you tried this link or not (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=881162).
It is with video guidance.
I don't think it works for our optimus black, before trying make sure from the developer will it work for OB or not.
Sorry for out of topic: From next time, when you do experiments, take nandroid backup, it saves from lot of situations.

i have deleted my OS and now im stuck with cynemod(witch i hate) can anyone post a link for images when avaiable or extract a system.img from the phone.
Many thanks
decisionif it will work in other devices.
it seems it might take a while until ROMs are available so i decided to send my phone to HTC to put the system back on.
Ill do a TWRP backup first thing and share but not sure it will work in other devices.
If anybody knows out to extract the ROM, please post it here.

That sounds great guys.
How about a quick "how-to" for the rest of us. TWRP, root etc. if used, or at least how you went about flashing the stock ?

My phone is also retail and already have demo on it before using your backup but unfortunately your backup could not delete that aap , Wipe data & factory reset is also not helpful ,
Any other suggestion?

according to a search in Google its not possible to be retail and have a demo because its 2 different ROMS.
you can use TWRP to wipe everything Data, Dalvik and System.
Then use the backup.
This are tips so please use at your own risk.

dont know what to say to that, however, you can try this:
http://repo.xposed.info/
install framework (use flash mode) and look for module BootManager. You can choose witch apps will run at system start. Disable demo app.
Make sure you follow all instructions and good luck.
let us know how it goes.

You guys know Kitkat version has this shiny flaring effect when you swipe to unlock, right? On my machine, this effect suddenly disappeared... I didn't do anything. Theme wasn't changed whatsoever.
Anyone has the same experience??

Yes it is very easy to root the Note 4 with CF-AutoRoot. Here is a great guide by @TEKHD you can follow.

You can also look at this guide by @jovy23 and he has all the files you need in one zip.

If all you care about it rooting the phone, just follow the guides up to that point. Good Luck!

Could you help me? I flashed a stock lollipop rom via odin and it worked flawlessly. I now would like to reroot my device. I downloaded all the correct files and when I go to flash the tar file via Odin I get an error, "security check fail: recovery". It won't flash but luckily didn't brick my device.

Go to settings - security - reactivation unlock (uncheck it). Try flashing again, you should be good to go.
