Try flashing xxkpe
If it works then its cool...
Otherwise i think ur imei (efs) folder is messed up...(means u lost ur imei...)
But i have a feeling that ur phone is still ok... just flash xxkpe then the latest fw u want....
yes it is still ok
i tried it so many times flashing xxkpe
but still it didn't worked

I have some weird stuff going on and I was wondering if maybe someone could tell me what it means. My phone is running fine, in fact better than ever. But when I reboot into recovery mode, and before I apply update.zip and I am in stock recovery (blue), I get the follow message below all of the recovery options (error message is in red):
E: Can't mount /dev/block/st111
(Invalid Argument)
E Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1
(Invalid Argument)
# MANUAL MODE #
E: Can't mount /dev/block/st111
(Invalid Argument)
E: Can't mount /dev/block/st111
(Invalid Argument)
Then, when I do a backup through CWM, everything goes through fine and then I get this message:
Back complete!
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E: Can't open CACHE:recovery/log
When I go into CWM recovery, I do see a backup labeled with the correct date and everything, so I guess it is backing up correctly? Not quite sure what to make of it.
Ignore it.

I've had this happen and it happens when you have lagfix enabled and try to revert/odin back to a stock kernel (non voodoo) you'll need to follow the manual disabling procedure (of lagfix) by injecting an empty file named "disable lagfix" into the clockwork folder on your SD card then reboot. After that you should be clear to do a clean flash to get everything working properly. If you tried restoring right now it would probably give you an MD5 mismatch, and trying to flash from recovery would probably give you dev/block errors and it would cancel installation until you get your file system back in order.

OK that makes sense. I was flashing all over the place trying to fix that radio issue. Although I liked Add's answer better. Much more convenient

Lol yea, I tried that too when I buggered mine up, but since I couldn't flash anything in recovery I decided to find out how to fix it
i tried rooting my phone on 2.3.5 then found out i needed 2.3.3 max to root, so i tried flashing 2.3.3 to my phone, something went wrong and now after several attepths at restoring it it just boot cycles. i can get into download mode no problem, but it doesnt matter what i flash it tells me it cant mount efs or dbdata. is there a way to fix this or do i need to send my phone off to get it repaired?
melli.
could reflashing the efs sort this? if so where can i download it? cause i can't find the efs.rfs anywhere...

Then from my PC with the platform tool, its load at 47% and then nothing. Im prett sure that my file is not corrupted or something like that, cause i downloaded like 4 times the file and from different server.
Do a NXT-L29 TWRP backup will resolve the issue ??

You can try to go back to stock rom with the rayglobes tool. Select "unbrick" section. It will flash all partitions to stock.
