Database Info

Need a little help.

Not sure if this is the correct fourm but since i didnt see a tech support forum figured this might be the most logical spot to put it.
My current device is a Samsung galaxy s 4g
Carrier T mobile
Rom
[ROM][CWM] T959VUVKD1 - Deodexed FIXED
Flashed with Odin3 v1.7
The issue i had is i wanted to install the bali kernel onto the phone i downloaded the 2.1 kernel from the forums non UV version but i don't know how to flash it. I tried to find it in the forums but i don't really see any clear directions how to flash it some say clockwork don't have it don't know how to install it. Sorry for my nubness. Then i did try to flash it using odin3 which soft bricked the phone phone computer with a little line going though it. Fixed that without much issue.
Id like Try out non stock kernels and i love what u guys do with the roms but i guess im a little stumped cause i don't know how to eather a find the missing apps i needed or how to flash it properly though odin3. If im totally off the mark im sorry and please forgive me again for my noobness.

OK your probably gonna here some $h1t for not searching but I'll Hook you up. OK you need to go to the cwm final post by krylon360. That will get you cwm. Once u have cwm setup you will boot into recovery and select reinstall packages, this puts you into cwm.
Know to flash the kernel go to "install zip from sdcard" and locate the zip( Bali kernel ) and confirm installation. Let it do its thing and BAM you have Bali kernel. HOPE THIS HELPS YA.
**edit**
To navigate in recovery and cwm use the volume keys to go up and down and power to select.

hey i did look but i guess i was looking for the wrong thing cause everything i came up seemed to be for different devices. Guess im a little more stumped cause the first file i downloaded off the fourm post i found seemed to be a html file? IF that is correct then ok ill go from there and i assume once i stick the zip file on the root of the sd card reboot to recovery mode and install it? This is what i was more confused about then anything.

No, flashing a kernel will not make you have to reinstall anything.

Well what you waiting for? It is super easy(USE NVFLASH!!) and will help you sleep better at night. Just do baby steps. Root... see how you like it, then after a while try out a custom rom...

I was thought about waiting till the update came down as well. Then I figured "hell, there are issues with the stock roms, why not try and find something more stable." The irony of it all was that my stock was pretty solid... I was just looking for the push off the wagon(recovering crack flasher from the g1). You won't be disappointed.
USE NVFLASH!!!!! I can't stress that enough. Everyday there is a new crop of "help bootloop" threads. Totally avoidable.

APP2SD is free on the market. It wont move everything to the external sd but it will move a lot and more is added all the time.

[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.

+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.

You seriously need to provide some more info. What did you do before it stopped working? What Rom and kernel are you using? What have you already done to fix it? Have you tried a factory reset? Have you removed the SIM and sd card and reinstalled them?
It's really hard to help with no real information
