Need help. I am trying to restore my Skyrocket to factory. I down loaded the necessary files
-ODIN
-SGH-I727-UCKJ2-k0nane
The thing is that when I open Odin, click PDA and browse, I don't see the tar file(SGH-I727-UCKJ2-k0nane)? Do I have to convert the file to tar?
The SGH-I727-UCKJ2-k0nane is in the download file and I see it but when I use Odin to browse, I don't see the file?
Am I doing something wrong or am I missing a step?
I am using Window's Vista. Does it make any difference?
I have read instructions many many times and I can't figure it out.
anyone out there?
Sorry bro. I would help you but seeing as I have yet to have my SkyRocket in Hand and have not gone through the rooting and ROM process on THIS device. I am not comfortable giving advice. Best to wait for someone who has more experience with the SkyRocket than I.

the .tar file is INSIDE the file you downloaded. the file you downloaded is a .7z or 7zip file. 7zip is a free archive/extractor. unzip it with 7zip and you will find your tar file.
i find it always helps to have your WINDOWS configured to show file extensions to keep confusion like this to a minimum, since you would have actually seen the file extension type.
careful! this method trips the ROM counter. why are you returning to stock?
I figuered it out. I bricked my phone trying to update to 2.36.

You must be joking EFS is individual to each phone / tablet and giving you a copy would allow you to clone my phone or replace a stolen product with my details .

Hello, I have a jiayu G3T ( G3QCT ) with JB Android 4.2.1 installed , but yesterday it occurred to me to look for a custom rom 4.2.2 , I downloaded the rom, and follow the instructions ( wipe data / factory reset wipe cache && && wipe dalvik ) then install the new rom, everything seems to be right , but when the phone rebooted , I noticed that said " INVALID IMEI " and did not detect the SIM card ...
I have no backup of the IMEI ( if I have the sticker underneath the battery)
I reinstalled the rom I had before jiayu , which comes standard rooted ,I have tried uncle tools and the application of jiayu , I entered the engineer mode so I went to connectivity CDS information Radio information, phone 1 & 2 wrote 2 lines (one for each option )
AT + EGMR = 1.7, " IMEI "
AT + EGMR = 1.10 , " IMEI "
but when you click on send command says " command failed to send, even after pressing repeatedly says " command was mSent " but on reboot, nothing has changed, and the IMEI is still not valid .
I tried the mtkdroidtools but says it was all right , the result is the same, nothing changes
I also tested the MAUI META 3G & IMEI and SN WRITER but I have not gotten any results ...
Someone could tell me how to fix it? thanks
I'd suggest you re flash stock rom using SP Tools, then use SN Gen to create a MP0B_001 file. Then place the generated file on your SD card, use root explorer, copy the file you have placed on the SD card and move it to /data/nvram/md/NVRAM/NVD_IMEI/, and set the file's permission to rw-rw----.
Then reboot and enjoy.
stock rom
and where i cant get that stock rom? could you link it to me?
sn_gen

the stock rom could be any of http://www.jiayu.es/software.php?soft&jiayu=G3QCT ?
I have used (4.2.1)ROM Oficial Jiayu.es 20131203-000001 (the latest) and sn_gen to recover my IMEI.... but after copy and set the permissions, and reboot, anything changes, what Im doing wrong?

I see that the website is in Spanish, so I may interpret the files incorrectly.
I'm gonna presume that you have already downloaded and installed the required MTK VCOM Drivers, and the device's drivers which are also given on the website. Install both if you haven't already.
I see there is a scatter loading file present under the downloads. Download the scatter loading and the latest ROM. Extract both the ROM files and the Scatter Loading file to a same single folder. Then use SPFlashtool and select the scatter loading file from the extracted folder, and check ALL the boxes.
Then remove the battery from your phone, connect the phone to the PC, and click "Download" on SP Flash Tool. After it finishes, you should see a box with a green circle, which indicates the flashing was successful.
After that, put the MP0B_001 file on your SD card, and follow the steps given by me on post #2.
And don't forget to hit thanks if I have helped. =]

They want to just rip money off you.. All MTK devices have only that one way of restoring device's IEMI which I have listed above., as far as I know.
You can try doing the following (This is just speculation, I have never tried this but it MAY work, as a MP0B_001 file and a backup generated by Mobileuncle MTK tools have the same output when opened via a text editor.)-
After generating an IEMI file, open it using Notepad. Then copy everything written in it, make a new notepad file and paste it there. Save that file as "IEMI.bak" file, and put that in your sd card.
Then install Mobileuncle MTK tools from Play Store, give it root access and go to IEMI backup/restore option. You should find your saved backup there. Hit restore from SD card, and pray that it works.
If it doesn't work, then I'm sorry. Send the phone over to your manufacturer if all else fails.

How to create that MP0B_001 file please help!
I recently did a backup using TWRP (v.2.8.1.0) and now have multiple files (data.ext4.win000, data.ext4.win001, data.ext4.win002 etc).
Can anyone please help by proving information on how to easily merge these files together in Windows 7?
Ultimately I would like to be able to view these using 7-zip.
Thanks!

That's normal. You don't want to merge them. They're all in a folder that is the backup

Those files are separate archives, open then like any other tar.gz

I get an invalid archive error when I try to open the data backups though I don't on any of the other backup files (cache.ext4.win, system.ext4.win etc).
I'm pretty sure they need to be concatenated together though I am not sure if this is easily to accomplish in Windows 7. Here is an other post with a similar problem that was solved using the Ubuntu.
On ubuntu I've just appended .tar to file name and it works.
You should try merging files with total commander and renaming to .tar

Gave that a shot but it didn't work
Should work just copying and pasting them into the same folder. TWRP treats the backup for a partition to be separate and complete from another. I've mixed and matched restoring partitions from different backups and it's worked. You'll have to use your judgment as to whether the restored partitions will play nice with each other.
EDIT - A workaround is to restore the partitions that you want and then back them up into a new archive.
As title says everything, i was trying to find out how to generate bin.md5 file for ported ROM's files but not found anything on google even on XDA too
