Long story short.....Im onCM7 and i deleted the "batt " file from /sys......now I don't have a battery reading, my phone will not work unless is plugged into a charger, it wont boot into my custom recovery, and I can't flash it aagain because when I go into the bootloader, it says the battery is too low to program...my nandroidbackups r not being recognized by titanium backup or rom manager so I can't restore. Without the custom recovery, I can't reflash cm7....anyone have any ideas at all??? And help would be great. Please and thank you

Wow! Thanks for the warning. I was about to delete the same file from my device. A quick search led me to this post.
Is there anyway u can send me a copy of that folder and what the permissions r? Maybe I can push it manually and fix it

Hyperthetically if someone (not me) deleted all the root files using root explorer, would they all be replaced after a stock rom was installed using odin or is the only way to get root files like efs back a nand backup?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
I am not at all sure, but from what I can see online it seems that the /efs folder (and thus the holy IMEI number) are NOT restored by flashing roms or reloading general backups. That is likely the reason why it is strongly suggested to take a copy of your efs folder and save it somewhere secure before doing ANYTHING copacetic to your phone.
You (oh sorry, I mean your "friend") may be better off flashing to stock and then searching here for ways to change/set your IMEI number. Perhaps that will work.
Good luck.
Ok what I'm trying to ask is if I start playing with mods like root file mods that edit system files like the battery icon mod. Will a flash to stock rom on odin restore it back to normal or will the system files be forever changed? I think that is abit clearer.

I would keep a back of all those files just to be safe

I agree . But I'm more interested in the actual answer. Is the bootloader even stored in the root. And would it even be possible to restore everything just by pasting a backup of those files back?

Pro's?

You can't **** up your bootloader with root explorer. You can destroy your efs though. As long as this is backed up everything else is restorable.
Thanks. So how would one go about backing up their boot loader or is that a mute point since the phone won't boot without one anyway? And if your bootloader did get screwed say from a bad flash and you couldn't get into download mode is that whats considered a hard brick and would a jig allow you to fix this?

I backed up my apps then deleted Myaccount2.3.4APK today now titanium back up cant restore it.

Using Root Explorer go to your /system/app folder and see if you have the files:
Setup.apk
Setup.odex
or
SetupSettings.apk
SetupSettings.odex
Yes I have then won't install

Got the apk for Myaccount when I install it says application not installed when I try to install it Any help would be great
I just got done fixing a problem I had with Contacts Storage, a system app. I had a clockworkmod backup, however. If you don't have a clockworkmod backup you may be in greater trouble than I was. My clockworkmod backup was of the BAD setup, so you don't have to have a "working" backup, or you'd just use that, obviously.
I FXZ'd back to stock, re-rooted, re-bootstrapped, then just did an "Advanced" restore and restored ONLY the "Data". Got me back to exactly where I left off.
If you have modified anything else in your System folder, the FXZ will overwrite it.
in the proccess in flashing the ics rom and just ran the exploit and got rooted and i navigated to safe system menu and i toggled safe menu and it says data.img not found sskipping restore of /data safesystem is no enabled does this mean it did not back up my previous file i want to flash this but i am curious on what this exactly means please help!!!
Someone please help! !! Just sitting in recovery waiting to find out what I should do

What does it ask you to do next?

When you toggled to safe mode, which.toggle option did you select? One will back you up and the other one won't I don't believe.
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using XDA App
I just did toggle safe system after done it says safe system is now enabled I would flash ics I think just want to reboot but just making sure I didn't screw anything up while in recovery
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
I didn't flash any roms just rooted running the exploit and then enabled toggle safe system so I should probably just reboot and be fine but I just want to make sure
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Once you toggle to safe, then you flash ics. Even if it didn't back up your original system, the worst that should happen when going back to your normal system is that it will take you back to a fresh install and you will need to set your accounts back up and reinstall your apps

If you don't flash ics (or any rom) when your in safe mode and reboot your phone, it won't load because there isn't a version of android there.

flashed ics and it gave me bad/installation aborted going to try and transfer on sd card with my wifes phone with a fresh download see if that works and it should go onto external correct???
I believe I have mine in internal. I think you can install it from either location.
You may want to clear the cache and stystem data before flashing if you didn't. Sometimes that helps.

at this point i am worried about my battery dying on me and i am just sol...
ok looks like was just a bad md5 or something so when i flash google apps do i wipe anything prior to flashing that???

Try another root explorer like root file manager app from store.
If you insist the fixing problem on the app which you are using,

i had the same issue, i posted a new thread asking about this but all i got was some funny solutions like reboot your phone, blink with your left eye ... etc.
so here is what i did to fix it
1- restore (the normal restore from backup & reset option on the settings) the whole device again after backing up all my data and removing the external SD card.
2- with the root still exists i rerooted using this method (Root MANY ANDROID!)
3- i installed all my apps and settings again manually to assure that there is no conflicts with the previous backup.
4- everything went well now
