e: failed to mount /efs (Invalid argument) - Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Yesterday I upgraded to JB, everything was fine until I got the idea how to reset the odin counter with terminal emulator.
I rebooted and then came back the wizard and it was in Russian, if I tried to do it crashed.
The baseband has been lost (although I have recovered)
NOW
If I try to flash jb or any other rom:
--Copyng media file:
E:Failed to mount /efs (Invalid argument)
--Appling multi csc
e: failed to mount /efs (Invalid argument)
e: multi_csc:Can't mount /efs
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
my phone displays the name and imei no problems, the baseband I recovered by flashing the stock rom samsung
I have a backup of EFS folder
(I had done it long ago with root explorer, just that I did not make a binary copy but a tar archive)
but even if you put it back with root explorer disappears and returns a folder with a lot less efs file

Maybe you should flash it with Odin, but I am not sure. And if somebody know he will already answer you.

i think this has something to do with the bad block issue... try using this command to create the boot image
mkbootimg --base 20000000 --cmdline 'no_console_suspend=1 console=null' --kernel zImage --ramdisk ramdisk.gz -o boot.img
Thanks Craig - I will give it a try once I got home. It tooks me ~3 hours to customize and build the HTC Desire's kernel for Nexus One. It would be a waste if I can't actually see it in action
Regards,
Kenny N
tried -- still the same

Did you clear cache? No idea how that would make a difference but I wipe cache before each kernel flash.
It failed to do the initial flash. Clearing cache won't help in my case.

Hmm... difficult to say... i don't know how to debug fastboot... try it via a recovery zip... and then check out the recovery.log for any errors...

[Q] Stuck in clockworkmod

i cant get passed clockword mod after i did a factory reset. i tried to restore decraped and the stock rom. it says restore complete then it loads the phone vibrate then the lg symbol shows up then it goes back to clockworkmod. i tried booting system in advanced restore and regular restore
---------- Post added at 05:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:04 AM ----------
i just remembered that i also deleted all files on my internal memory before i tried to install the new rom. maybe that the problem, if it is, how do i get those files back on my internal memory?
try flashingent to stock rom
what are the steps for that process?
Download the stock root rom I'm development. Place it in external sd.clockworkwod.backup. go to backup and restore and select advamted restore and restore system from the stock rom
Sent from my VS910 4G using Tapatalk
i already did that, i was on revolt 1.3 then i went back to stock because im selling my phone, when i went back to stock, i wiped cache and erase data, went to advanced restore then i selected system, after that the phone said restore complete, but it boots up the lg symbol shows us and the phone goes back to clockworkmod. i also found a note in the clorkwork mod folder saying this, "Starting recovery on Thu Sep 22 04:38:02 2011

That last post is interesting. But to get out of clockwork you need to flash the exitrecovery.zip found in the stuck in clockwork thread in the dev section.

I think it is a root method for Tizen, yet I myself am not quite sure what this actually benefits or achieves at this point.
Are there Tizen apps requiring root or a Tizen ROM I'm not aware of?
Thanks
root would be useful to remove the shutter sound for example...

Flashing now. I'll report back in a minute or two when I'm done playing around with it, maybe even get a system dump.
---------- Post added at 10:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:33 PM ----------
Okay...I got it working but I can't really do much with it. It's not even letting me change directories through SDB.
Here's a list of partitions for Tizen. Anyone want to be bold and try to make a system dump out of one of these?
Will TWRP work with Tizen? Or should we wait for it to be updated?
Thats the best way to get a backup isnt it?
And will that restore partitions from a backup? I have a backup of my Android setup, wondering if I install TWRP on Tizen will I be able to restore Android? Its a thought, probably a bad one but still....

I posted how on the Gear 1 Tizen thread.
They are located here /opt/share/settings/
To change them the easy way install the Tizen wearable SDK, run the root lines in SDB then goto the SDK and delete files and copy files over. (Make sure you root the device first or none of this will work)
This is my cheat sheet.
sdb root on
sdb shell mount -o remount,rw /
Ringtones located at:
/opt/share/settings/
Camera shutter at:

my note has no service after trying to install cwm recovery using terminal emulator

hello guys .. i dont know if this is the right place to post this since this is my first post .. sorry .
my phone has no service .. i think some of the /dev blocks is corrupted .. tried restoring /efc using twrp but no luck .. i tried installing cwm using terminal emulator after downloading a marshmallow rom with a faulty recovery ..
so i want to ask .. does installing a stock rom reset the /dev blocks values ? or is there any other way that i can get my service back ? i searched threads but no luck finding any solution .. any help will be appreciated .. if you need any more info to help me just ask please .. and i tried doing so because i had no access to a pc at that time .. thank you

No luck... Been searching since I woke up... I have backed up /efs... Restoring it was supposed to do the trick. But it doesn't work... Nothing changes when I restore it... Tried flashing different kk roms but none of them work... Will try to flash stock rom once I get back home... Not in a hurry for a solution since this is not the phone I use everyday... Got a nexus 6p 2 weeks ago

Have you tried setting the permissions of the folder for the efs backup? the phone will not accept folders placed without the proper permission.
You should change permission of efs backup folder as AutumQueen92 mentioned above.

I don't think that's the right permission. Try rwx --- --- ? I'm not sure of the actual config but google should find some answers. Other than that, I can't help much.
Edit: I was curious myself since I'm re-using my Note.

My efs folder was corrupted .. Same goes for my dev folder .. Tried the first approach that any sane person would do .. Flash a stock ROM .. After lots of searching I found the n7000xxlso stock ROM and flashed it .. Everything worked like a charm .. Then I installed philz and flashed slimkat again .. Now everything is working

No CSC folder in stock MM?

In other ROMs I've edited an XML file in /system/csc to make some changes to the keyboard -- specifically, to display alternate symbols when you press-hold a key. I flashed stock MM tonight and noticed that this folder no longer exists.
I checked the Maximum OvrDriVE MM ROM and it does have this folder with the appropriate file. So what happened to the CSC stuff in stock?

Those are the stock ODIN flashable files. Once you flash it via ODIN you will see CSC folder on your phone under /system directory.

1. Ensure SuperSU zip is on external SD card
2. Boot TWRP recovery (currently 3.0.2 installed)
3. Wipe every partition except external SD
4. Boot the phone into download mode
5. Odin (3.0.9) the ROM to the phone
6. Odin TWRP back to the phone
7. Boot TWRP recovery
8. Flash SuperSU zip
9. Reboot and let settle for 15 minutes

Don't know if it would make any difference but you should be using Odin 3.11.1 with this latest EPG2 firmware. CSC related files reside in cache.img.ext4 , so it is possible that that particular file is not being flashed in your case.

I'm surprised the phone even works!
Hm, experiencing flash write failures. First time was about 15% finished. Second time seems about 95% finished.
Third flash completed. Before rebooting, I flashed TWRP. Then I booted TWRP and installed SuperSU. Booted normally and received the dreaded ddi: mmc_read failed message. Crap. Tried another flashing round, which also completed, and let it boot immediately. The Samsung recovery started (which I have never actually seen before) and ran through an installation cycle of something. After that, the phone booted and once again shows ddi:mmc_read failed. Is this thing kaput now?
----------
EDIT: I power cycled the phone and now it appears to be doing a normal first boot -- I'm staring at the T-Mobile splash and the status light is flickering blue/cyan. Wow!

Did you use the latest version of ODIN now? Also if the phone looks stuck on T-Mobile logo for longer than 30 mins, then remove the battery from the phone and try to boot again.

Yep, Odin 3.11.1 worked, but like I wrote before, it took three attempts. Weird.
BTW, not everyone agrees that the version of Odin was the actual problem:

Worked like a charm. Now I have wifi calling and secondary characters on my keyboard again!
You'll also notice that Bluetooth tethering is gone. T-Mobile likes to disable that for some reason. I imagine that buried in one of the CSC files is a line you could delete to restore Bluetooth tethering.
