Hello, I've installed the CM10 Nightly for SGS1. When I started the phone the system says, that my IMEI is wrong and I couldn't do emergency calls.
I did have a backup of my efs/ folder. So I copied the imei folder from my backup to the efs folder into the new.
Now the phone don't boot up. It stays in the boot animation.
Do anyone knows how to fix it? I can't even access or delete this files without booting, can I?
Pull and reinsert batttery, download or recovery mode?

I've tried them all. Mount /data in recovery failed, too.
Efs has nothing to do with /data. You just had un lucky timing, and you data partition has gone corrupt. Also don't use terminal to reboot your phone it seems to corrupt data. For me at least. I always just turn off, and then power on again with button.

I've done a wipe but there are problems again. Please see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1849374
Was that the right way to restore the imei in general?
Start again with JVU?

I have started with JW4 then JVU and then CM. So i already followed your instructions?! After i have booted cm says that there could problems with emergency calls. But calling and data connection works normal.

OK do you have correct imei when you Odin back to stock if you do backup efs then restore when back on jellybean or ICS whichever you want to use

Yes I did. Now I have a tar of the complete efs folder.
I flashed CM10 Nightly again and have the developer IMEI again.
Now I want to use my stock efs/ backup.
Do I have to overwrite the whole efs folder on the root?
Yeh I think so than run fix permissions

This brought my IMEI back and the error message of CM doesn't appear anymore.
The fix permisson action was important.
If you want jb, try gnexus jb port. Smooth and stable, my gf use it for daily rom. I`ve had the same issue with the imei, so i copy the whole efs folder from backup over the damaged one, then reboot, and worked.

Baloo

If I flash CM9 (link) with CWM can I switch back to CM7 by flashing with CWM, for example can i switch back to the MiniMod X ROM(link)?
Yes you can but before and after installation wipe data and cache it's better for your phone and finally dont forget to make a nandroid backup
Sent from my GT-S5570 using xda premium
Yes. CWM stays intact. If that is what you are afraid of.
You can switch between roms any number of times

Hi xda community. I'll try to explain exactly what I did and what's happening.
I flashed Cyanogenmod and everything went fine. As the latest Nighty became available, I downloaded it and tried to apply the update. I'm using Philz Touch as recovery. The update process started as usual, but then it stopped when it was almost done. I rebooted recovery and it begun again to install the update without success at all.
I've opened Odin and tried to re flash the recovery, hopping that I would be able to get to the normal Philz Touch recovery and it started (again) the update process.
I've ticked NANDROID full wipe and flashed the recovery again and I got the recovery menu. I performed a Nandroid restore, and recovery couldn't mount the /data partition.
I've realized that the /efs partition wasn't mounted. I manually mounted it and Nandroid backup successfully restored everything.
Ripper ROM (Samsung Based) booted up well, and I had to flash a modem since I didn't have signal. I thought everything was fine. But now as soon as I install a new ROM (either Sammy Based or AOSP) I lose my IMEI and get in Factory Mode.
I've tried restoring efs from backup and it didn't work. The only way I get it to work is restoring from Nandroid backup.
Can anybody help me please?

Does Ripper Rom use Perseus kernel perhaps? If so, join us over here.

Yeah, I'm running that kernel...is that perhaps what's causing the problem with the /efs partition?
Edit: tried to flash another kernel and got no signal but as long as I flash Perseus it works!
Why is this happening???

Just out of curiosity, what happens if you install a non-Perseus kernel?

Coz when we flash stock firmware it wipes everything so what's the use of creating nandroid backup?

After flashing with stockie...put up clockwork mode and restore your system to what was before

Hey. I dont think externel will get wiped out while flashing with stock. Even if it does you can make one backup of your externel sd card .

He is right! Ext don't get deleted and u can root, unlock, flash cwm and restore your device.... I think you need to get your facts straight (and even if it would get erased, just pull the ext memory out of the phone before flashing stock?!)

Are you on stock kernel? I would do a nandroid backup, wipe everything except SD and then restore
I would also try to reinstall recovery image as well. Sounds like something with the read/write got corrupt

Hello Everybody,
Last week I have made a CWM backup of Stock 4.1.2 with Philz touch recovery and then installed CM 10.2.
Yesterday I flashed PhilZ-cwm6-DDLSC-ODD-5.11.2-signed.zip and rebooted into recovery to restored my previous CWM backup of stock 4.1.2
I did all wipes and restored backup successfully. After rebooted I can see only a black screen with status bar with three icons (battery,time and network).I hve tried for two times but same problem.Then I reinstall CM10.2 using recovery.
I didnt understand where I have mistaken.
Please tell me what to do? I want to restore my backup.
Thanks in advance.

Some where in misc nandroid settings.

Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
You have to check it before restoring the backup as stock 4.1.2 uses preload partition for a lot of apks.
I really don't get what you are asking. You have to go to nandroid setting and place x besides include preload.
