Hi all,
I have been using Captivate for a while, rooted and flashed with new rom's etc....now I want to unlock it to use on other carriers and cant find /efs/nv_data.bin file...looks like I might have deleted this partition...
is there any other way to unlock with out the original nv_data.bin file? my phone does show me correct IMEI number so..is there a way to find the unlock code based on that IMEI number?
appreciate all your help.
I did a master clear and flashed it back to original rom with Odin but still can't seem to find /efs/nv_data.bin ??
I only have 3 folders now..
Android
DCIM
sd
You can not see the file with the stock file manager. You need to root then use either root explorer or super manager
MIUI
search for galaxy s unlock by Herloz in the market. i have a used cappy with a corrupt nv_data.bin, and using super one click returned the fffffffff code. the app worked a treat and the unlock has stayed thru a few roms now. it doesn't repair the code but does the trick.

Hey, I'm really new to the android scene, just got my galaxy s2 yesterday I've flashed the litening ROM which says that it roots it, so im assuming my phones rooted. I wanted to put in a MOD which turns off the camera noise and it says you need to go to /data and create a file. How do I access the root files from the PC because with the two file managers i've used on the phone dont have options to create files, help will be VERY highly appreciated!! Sorry if people have posted this before, but i looked and its very complicated for me :S
you can use android commander to access root files on pc , but i have a proplem with it when i copy or paste any file in the root it tells me access denied and you can use super manager on your galaxy .
I was trying to get back into a STOCK rom but I've downloaded a backup ported from Kies to Odin and now my IMEI is screwd,,,
There's no backup file and my folder "efs" on Root directory is empty...

I noticed after some search~ My IMEI number could be found on my cellphone box (I don't know where is it...)
I'll keep trying to reset and see if sometime efs folder get some files inside of it cause it's always empty.
Picked up a used infuse and while flashing away lost my imei. Of course I didn't back up my efs file as recommended everywhere. While messing around I stumbled across this method.
1. Write down your imei.
2. Factory reset phone.
3. Make sure you have root and a root browser installed. I used the root browser in ROM toolbox.
4. In root browser go to efs folder and open it.you will see a file called crypt prop_data.
5. Open the file to edit. Only text in file should read null.
6. Replace null with your imei you wrote earlier.
7. Reboot.
Imei should now be restored. I've only tested on my device. Recreated flash scenario 3 times losing imei each time. Repeated above steps recovered imei every time. Hope this helps someone.

Any troubles with IMEI not saving?
Thank you for adding this information. It is really helpful as a lot of us have to deal with this IMEI problem. I do have a question. Have you experienced, or has anyone experienced the situation where the IMEI number is saved, but upon returning to the folder, the same old "NULL" shows up? I've saved it several times to no avail.
Any thoughts would be very welcome.

Hi,
I have a Google Nexus S (Model-GT-I9020T made by Samsung). I flashed it with CyanogenMod and messed up my IMEI number. It now shows a generic number. I am from India and I can't connect to my carrier now. I have searched for days and at the end I feel that ODIA can help me to restore my IMEI.
I have restored my phone to Android version 2.3.6, Build Number GRK39K. The phone has CWM recovery, rooted and Root Explorer and Terminal Emulator installed. My EFS folder has nv_data.bin nv_data.bin.md5. But imei folder has only one file .nvmac.info.
Root folder is empty and I also don't have any folder called factory. Can you, please, please help me restore my IMEI number to whatever number is written under the battery?
Thank you,
India.
Hi All,
I have a SamsungAce3 with some carriers boot animation.
I would change it back to the stock one.
Can anyone share with me these files :"samsungboot.qmg" and "samsungloop.qmg"
I need the original non carrier branded version.
Thanks
Samsung Galaxy Ace 3 GT-S7275T generic qmg files
Attached, worked fine changing my Telstra 7275 to generic. I had to rename them to get them to upload to the forum, so just change the extension to .qmg. These came from a Samsung Galaxy Ace 3 GT-S7275T, and I have successfully put them on my Telstra version, the GT-S7275Y. I can't guarantee that it will work for you, so no warranty, sorry.
Any problems PM me. Your phone will need to be rooted to allow you to put these in, if using ADB be sure to delete the old files, change the folder permissions, then push the new files.
And be sure to double check the files are there and valid (double check you renamed them to .qmg) before rebooting your phone. I can't help you if you brick it, sorry.

Thanks,
I will try out today ...
Everything went smoothly, "T" branding gone! So thank you!
Note to anybody else trying this the files "samsungboot.qmg", "samsungloop.qmg" and "shutdown.qmg" go in the system/media folder. A second copy of the "shutdown.qmg" file needs to go in the system/media/video/shutdown folder if it exists. This depends on the customisation by your phones provider, mine was Telstra Australia and the second copy was necessary on mine.
