You mignt want to look at this thread to get an idea of where you might find a fix. Be aware this is talking about an I9000 not SGS4G, so do your research first. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=859914&highlight=/efs

Taking someonea efs dir is a bad idea. You will essentially be cloning their device. So i would recommend no one send their efs dir to anyone.

I'm not recommending using someone else's EFS, Just giving him somewhere to look so he can get more informed about how things worked. That's why I said do your research. Thanks Krylon.

I was hesitant to send mine once I saw what was in it. I don't see why he can't just to stock with Odin. Unless there is much more going on.

I looked @my EFS folder with Android Commander and it looks MT also. Unless the files are hidden. But then you need the information for your phone to make it work right

[Q] Deleted efs folder

Well I have a good friend who is not exactly a genius, he thought if he deleted the efs folder, it would let him use the old web2go on his Galaxy 4G... Well now his imei is all 00000's and I can not get anything...phone calls, web...nothing, regardless what I flash it to.....
Is the phone a brick for now or is there a way I can save it??? Im more than willing to buy a beer if anyone can help me fix this....
Thanks in advance

Update: Ok well ive found that If i leave my sim card in for 10 minutes or so it WILL pick up a signal... The internet will work...BUT very slowly, like 2G slow....I can make calls, but when the other person answers they can hear me, but I cant hear them.
Either way, its not a solution to the problem, is there even a possibility to get the imei back without the original folder??

Have you tried flasing a new ROM?

ODIN to a stock froyo, then Factory reset the phone. See if that helps.

Sounds like you need to get kc1 with bootloaders.

+1 on this. Should set the factory defaults.
Where exactly was this efs folder located?
EDIT
Just looked into this.
/efs is mounted on a whole different partition. You might've just gotten yourself a very expensive paperweight since some of the files contained in that partition are specific to your device (IMEI #'s etc). =|
Check this for reference:

This happen to me and honestly best way you may have a backup of it on your sd card..if you do put it back to where it belongs and reboot..no one will privide you with that folder since it contains private data..thata the one folder YOU NEVER DELETE

I didnt delete it,its just came up like that one day with garbage characters..i dont know how I got it like that cause that usually happens when you try to unlock phone..maybe a combination of things for me.just everyone backup that folder everywher and anywhere lol..its like the heart of yoyr phone lol.

odin a stock rom but change around a few of the files to actually cause a software brick use efs clear checked
once u turn on the phone and see that u get the phone to pc flash the right way with the files in the proper locatons make sure efs clear is checked and use the pitt file flash do factory rset bla bla bla bla
turn phne off let it sit for about 5 mins turn back on it should take awhile to load
it should rebuild your efs folder off the backup the device retains if that doesnt work go take it back

yea being that it was rooted that voids the warranty so if Samsung does fix it they will more than likely be charging you.

If you made a back up you can restore data in advanced restore mode in CMW.
No scratch that just sign into t-mobile.com and look at your call history

you wont be able to get it back if you flashed a new rom, but going into tmobile.com is a pretty good idea. i didnt even think about that.
prior to flashing, i would always recommend making a nandroid backup because you never know when you may forget something you need.

First off, are you trying to modify or root any of the software on your device? Second, Have you tried loading the recovery rom by pressing down and power and hard resetting the device and restoring it to factory defaults?

Ok, one step at a time...
-did you flash a tmobile rom on your skyrocket?
-if you did, did you also flash the t989 skyrocket converter patch?
I'm assuming you have a computer. In order to fix your phone, you will need Samsung USB drivers, Odin and a Stock ROM tar.
Before you even start, take a few breaths, and READ all the instructions.
USB drivers can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=961956
Odin can be found here:
http://www.mediafire.com/?u868rqz4qn0ta34
Stock Syrocket ROM tar can be found here:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/144478/Stock%20Recovery.tar
Read all the instructions carefully. Take your time. If you still can't get it figured out, let me know.

Stop flashing stuff
Look in dev section
Your not reading or you would see instructions to root. Add cwm and everything u need. Theres even guides called noobs guide that tells u how to do everything. So no sympothy. Because you are not even trying to find the answers

I've got root and cwtouch recovery from reading here..I do appreciate everyone's help..thanx.

Thank's for reply and your help. As soon as when you send my your efs i edit the nv_data.bin IMEI with my original IMEI.

Xcuse I don't want to be rude but so THERE IS a huge security problem. No offense but I'm not sure to give my imei etc to an unknown person nothing personal. Anyone on this forum can provide my any tips(if possible) to send my efs without sensible data? I repeat no offense to anyone...

Ok, no problem thx for help. But how can I repair my phone?

Flashing the right rom from odin will rewrite your imei back to its orignal. Give it a try.. i did it with past s4 and moto x 1st gen..

I flashed million times.. :/
