Ok so I (stupidly) tried to flash erikmm's mokeeOS. I tried to follow the directions, but I think I messed up somewhere along the way. The result is that I have a efs file, but it is corrupted, and I have a IMEI of all 0s when I format and flash the system, and I have a IMEI of DXD with weird symbols when I flash cm7 restore. So my question is, how do I get my IMEI back? I dont have a good efs file, but I do have a good nandroid backup. But when I try to restore it, it says e:format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on system. So how can I fix this too? I'd also like to apologize to erikmm for being a dumbass and not correctly following directions
I suggest you use FB's [odin+cwm] gb ext4 starter pack and get back to stock.....this will not fix your imei but will get ur phone to a usable state that you are a Tad bit familiar with for starters.
There are ways to fix the imei but I'm not familiar with it for I have never had this problem...
I'm sure there's an easier way to do it, but when I flashed his Rom the first time, I accidentally flashed the efs-backup file twice instead of the efs-restore and screwed mine up. I got a little too excited to try something new I guess. But I ran the 1-click Gremlin remover and everything came back fine. Then I reflashed moKee correctly and all was right with the world. I have no idea about the last error you were getting however.
how do I go back to ext4? Becuase i dont think my nandroid is working since the phone is MTD now. And I cant use ODIN right now becuase my windoes pc isnt working for now, but I can use a mac to transfer files and stuff
I'm not going to hold ur hand....go look for what I previously mentioned in the dev section and follow directions...I know I'm kinda blunt and a lil rude but I don't have patience when people don't pay attention to the answers given to them...I will help you but you will have to read and pay attention to the instructions in the OP's of the threads
Sorry I missed the no computer part
Without a computer there is NO fix at this point.
One thing I've learned is never flash mtd roms without a computer available
I appreciate you helping, but I stated that I cant use ODIN due to my Windows computer not working, so Im looking for alternate solutions. Right now Im trying the Gremlin remover
Isn't heimdall a Mac program?
If so use the heimdell 1click in the dev section.
I'm not familiar with heimdall or Mac...
One click back to stock with Anton's kernel installed I believe bhund updated the one clicks. Then u can try ur nand restore

Heimdall is a Java-based program, which makes it mostly OS agnostic. It runs on Windows, Linux, and the Mac.
Ahh ty for that info
I tried doing the one click for heimdall, but it said error when claiming interface. What do i do?
I do not know...if only you were on a PC.....this would be so simple
Have you tried a hammer?lol
The only way to fix your issue is with 1-Click gremlin Remover or a Heimdal 1-Click. Your /efs partition will be there and all will be fine after you go back to stock.
To overcome the problems with heimdal, you might want to try this:
System Cleaner
However, in your case, you may not be able to do the system check portion. I would suggest, just downloading the system cleaner, reboot to recovery and flash it (Just follow Step 3 in the OP). It will probably soft-brick your phone, but you will be able to get into recovery and download mode which will enable you to flash the phone via heimdal...

So it seems like the first time stuck so it restarted, now it's stuck at partition. I selected the PIT and the PDA stock file, but it's just sitting there ... I'm on the phone + PC logo.
Am I totally screwed? What to do?

So I've been able to use the 512 pit and get it to get back to the "Downloading... Do not turn off Target". ... but then when I go back in and try to flash the stock Rooted ROM I get the "Initialization..." then it just stops there... ideas?
not sure. let it sit for a while. h8rift or somebody said it took his like 20 minutes(if i remember right) which seems weird. also you should be logged in windows as admin and the usb plugged into a port that connects to the mother board not a expansion card or hub.
honestly though i have only used heimdall on the infuse. and never repartitioned because heimdall requires bootloaders for repartition. im not sure i trust lost1's bootloaders and if there is an issue with them there are no others to use.
it might be a driver issue. maybe samsung needs some updated drivers for the infuse.
also are you sure you have your .net framework up to date on windows? i cant think of everything odin depends on but i think having .netframework4 helps with some things on the phone, cant remember ifodin depends on it though

cant hurt to leave it there a little longer. the captivate never took that long but we also had a true factory flash oneclick odin that they use to reset refurbished phones. no such luck on the infuse unless someone wants to see if designgears has some sort of connection at samsung who can get it like he somehow was able to get it for the captivate. the significance of odin oneclick is that is has all the files. param.ifs, boot.bin, sbl.bin, and all the first boot scripts. our stock roms have come from rom dumps. the captivate stock roms came from samsung.
i would leave it for a good 20 minutes. then try something else. you may need to try files from lost1's stock rom you can use 7zip to manipulate the .tar files and magic ISO to manipulate the .rfs files within the .tar files, but atleast one ofthe files from lost1 doesnt work. if i had 2 infuses id experiment with you to be able to post what works and what doesnt. with only one phone im hesitant to try anything that is not tested

I'm using H8rift's restore... and both of the two (rooted and non) have the same issue for me.
It just sits... I've used the rooted and non-rooted.... ugh.
It goes to firmware update start then has a little greenness in the progress bar on the computer, and a little blueness in the progress bar on the phone, but I let it sit for 30 minutes and it never progresses any further, so there's something going on.
I've tried other usb ports, updated drivers, every method of compatibility and admin mode, even reinstalled windows basic version, haha.... ugh, this is hopeless.
I think it's time to chalk this up to a very very expensive lesson learned and go out and buy a replacement... not happy about that :-(

Why did you use a .pit? Did I not state in the OP of the Odin thread not to use one? take out the .pit, uncheck re-partition and flash the package as it was originally attended. you will NEVER need to re-partition your phone until we actually start CHANGING your partitions sizes (i.e. CM7, MIUI, possibly Samsung's gingerbread, etc.)

Ok so I just got me a New samsung showcase. It came with 2.2 installed build number sch-i500.ee25. Ok so i find out about rooting and all this so i start researching all about it. Here is where i am. I rooted with SuperOneClick. Worked fine. I installed ROM manager to get the clockworkmod but it did not work so I used Odin to install clockworkmod. That worked fine. So at this point I decided i need to backup the stock ROM. I try this using ROM manager but no go. it reboots into clockworkmod and gives me the sd card not mounted stuff. So I read and read and read but i can't seam to find a solution to this problem. I know there other people that have had this problem. I have read through the step by step guides and i really see nothing on this. Anyone have any type of solution.
Running on stock 2.2 rom manager doesnt work. You will need to go into cwm by turning off phone, holding power,vol up and down at same time. after samsung blinks 2nd time let go of buttons and you will boot into recovery.
Thank you. I thought I tried that before but I guess i did something wrong. Worked that time. Now if my memory is correct from reading that will not back up two things. The kernel and something else. How do I back up the kernel? Or am I just not thinking correctly cause I have not had enough sleep.

First, Welcome!
Second, Download and familiarize yourself with a program called Odin. This phone is hard to brick. From nearly every situation you can flash back to stock with Odin.
Third, Showcase files are not common. Send me a PM and ill give you my email address. I can better help over email.

Same phone
I have the exact same phone as you. I just rooted my phone for the first time yesterday and I am having trouble installing CWM. Can you explain to me how you used Odin to flash CWM. And after you flash CWM, is it possible to revert back to stock recovery? If so how?
ok... so i think I'm f***ed!
was trying to repartition & totally clean my phone out at work last night, and i think I made a wrong selection while selecting cache size and such... (i should pay more attention)
but yeah... i get boot-loops on the Samsung screen. It will stay there for 1-2 minutes, then reboot... never making it to the boot animation. I also cant get into recovery, for the fact that EVERYTHING was wiped.
I got into download mode, but Heimdall (i use ubuntu) wont detect it... I've tried unplugging and re-plugging several times, I also tried a battery pull then reloading everything... still nothing.
I'm out of ideas and ways to fix this... please dont tell me im totally bricked... cause i have zero money for a new phone.

If you can get into download mode you're not bricked completely. Heimdall was working for you in Ubuntu before you did this I take it? I am not a Linux guy so I can't help there but if you have access to a windows pc , you may want to try Odin and/or Heimdall on it.

yeah i made a backup last night before i flashed Mitra 5.0... but wouldnt it be gone if i repartitoned everything? cause that would sweep my whole SD
:: UPDATE :: (again)
alright, made a big long post about everything i did and finally got into recovery and tried sweeping it and it said app2sd ext didnt exsist and all this other crap.. then tried went into my backups and it said "couldnt open directory" and "no files found"
then swept again, then rebooted & once it booted, it wasnt stock, but Mitra 5.0.... the very rom that started all my issues in the first place. (-_-)*
so yeah... phone is up and running... what do i need to do from here? i want to revert back to MitRa 4.7 or go to ZEUS-rom... do i need to repartiton and fix my efs or what?
No, don't repartition, either boot back into recovery and try to restore. Unless you formatted, it should still be there. Or just wipe and flash Zeus.
ignore: app2sd ext didnt exsist

THIS IS A SUCCESS STORY SO IF YOU STUMBLED HERE READ IT OVER...WORKED FOR ME ON MY MAC!!!
OK, I've been reading threads all afternoon/evening and can't find anything that solves my situation.
I'm stuck booting into CWM no matter what I do at this point.
How I got here:
Started unadulterated stock ROM.
Ran AdamOutler's Heimdall One-Click Defuse 1.5 kernel to get root/CWM (Mac user).
Installed Superuser, Tibu, etc...
Flashed Zues 5.1 and Aries.
Enjoyed devine bliss for a few days until enticed by Zues 5.2
Ran AdamOutler's Heimdall back to stock.
Wouldn't boot so flashed again with boot loaders (per instructions).
Flash failed, couldn't get anywhere but download.
Flashed Defused 1.5 kernel again an got CWM back.
Went in circles for a while.
Present situation:
Can only boot to download and CWM.
Can't restore from CWM (did back up previous to problems but won't work).
Flash from CWM seems to work until reboot, then I'm just back in CWM.
Heimdall flashes appear to work until reboot (pretty much like CWM depending on what I flash).
Heimdall flashes with bootloaders just continue to fail part way through.
Is there anyone that can help me out of this?
Again...I have a Mac and no PC.
I would truly appreciate any help anyone can offer.
Perhaps somebody here knows something about Heimdall flashing fine the first time but failing to flash with bootloaders?
Anybody ever experience this on a Mac or a PC?

Thanks for the reply. First flash (without BLs) seems to go fine but can't boot (sort of). Second flash (with BLs) won't even finish. The error has something to do with the PIT.

I have tried that one and AdamOutlers one that you can get to from the Super Thread also. Both fail on the bootloaders.

The gtgs I tried was in a package so I didn't really try it on its own.
AdamOutler's One-Click is obviouslly part of a complete package as well.
Gtgs fail at PIT (I think) but anyway failed overall for sure.

Yeah that all sounds right. Yes, I think it's PIT that reformats all of your partitions.. not positive though.
PS.. next time.. buy a PC.
Holding off for the moment.
I have a few left over pieces that don't seem to match up quite right.
In the extracted heimdall package I have zlmage and zlmage-1
In the Heimdall Flash tab I have Kernel, Recovery, EFS, and SBL2
My searching suggests that zlmage goes with Kernel.
My intuition tels me that zlmage-1 must be Recovery.
Think I'll just set those up that way.
That leaves EFS and SBL2...
Is it OK to leave those blank?
I've double checked all the other pairings.
Feel like a kid jumping off the cliff into the lake for the first time.
Please, some one who knows what they're doing...push me.
(Or just say, "All sounds good to me, DO IT MAN!!!)
(Or scream, "STOP!!! You don't have the SBL2?!! Are you nuts? Go and find it.)

In the extracted heimdall package I have zlmage and zlmage-1
In the Heimdall Flash tab I have Kernel, Recovery, EFS, and SBL2
My searching suggests that zlmage goes with Kernel.
My intuition tels me that zlmage-1 must be Recovery.
Think I'll just set those up that way.
That leaves EFS and SBL2...
Is it OK to leave those blank?
I've double checked all the other pairings.
Feel like a kid jumping off the cliff into the lake for the first time.
Please, some one who knows what they're doing...push me.
(Or just say, "All sounds good to me, DO IT MAN!!!)
(Or scream, "STOP!!! You don't have the SBL2?!! Are you nuts? Go and find it.)

(Or say, dude, you really need to find that EFS file and get it in there).
Searching turns up no results for zlmage-1
Don't want to proceed until I know for sure that I've got this stuff right.
Perhaps I shouldn't be flashing the recovery partition.
Then again, I seem to remember that CWM kept telling me that recovery couln't be mounted. Probably I do need to flash something over it.
But I've heard all about the dangers of flashing the wrong thing to the wrong place.
Dude just do it. Yes i am meaning to yell at you. Seriously... It's sooooooooooo damn hard to brick this thing! It has the unbrickable mod...
Edit: Boo.. I typed that all in caps.
OMG all that agonizing before I clicked start.
All it did was immediately say "flash completed sucessfully!"
But it didn't do a damn thing!!!
I got heimdall to work before.
Guess I try closing it and setting things back up again.
Just what everyone wants.... another thread about a bricked phone.
I have no idea what happened to my phone.... I have been running Valhalla Final for a week now with no issues to speak of and lost all my ringer tones after a failed attempt to put sound on a boot-loader using Absolute System. I rebooted into recovery and tried to restore my nandroid which failed when it said unable to unmount system. when I rebooted it had fc in android.core multiple times so I rebooted again and after it loaded had no control. did a battery pull and then would not go past the power up screen. downloaded heimdall one click file T959V-UVKJ6-One-Click.jar and put it into download mode. flashed and it went fine until factoryfs failed. now still in download but img is pic of phone to computer. last 2 attempt was
SMS-KJ6-beta2d_Stock-Rom_with_Bootloaders-One-Click.jar and it failed first at loading the modem and then at loading recovery.
I am lost. seems like everything I try makes it little worse. Have not tried ODIN yet.
Is there any hope or am I out a phone?
Give Odin a try. Last time I used Odin it froze so I pulled the plug, and when I put my phone back in download it showed that same screen, yet Odin still went through.
So no, that screen doesn't mean you're out a phone.

Grab chadster's KG4 here. I believe it has ODIN 1.85 included in the file. Don't mess with any of the check boxes in ODIN; let ODIN decide what to check.
After that, you should be able to get back to KJ6 via a one-click.
Shady grab Ravers stock GB and honks GB odin kernel. Flash Ravers, If you can, then honks. That will give you stock plus cwm. You know where to go from there. Funny thing is just yesterday FB had a post about leaving BOOTLOADERS alone w/o unbrickable mod. Good luck.
Downloading now from sendspace.com
I'm hoping this works...

shady
Are you going with the chadsters leak or ravers stock?
I don't know why you guys keep recommending old (leaked) ROMs to debrick with.
@Shady if you see anything posted by myself, dsexton, bhundven or raverx3x you can bet that we've tested it extensively and that it'll work on your phone.
On that note I recommend you read the whole page here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1358498
Download from the SMS KJ6 (beta2d) Kernel Stock Rom with Bootloaders link. This will get you a one click flash solution that you can go back to when you have problems. This, unlike the KG4 file others have been recommending, is the latest version of gingerbread (KJ6 is 2.3.6) and you'll have a custom kernel + root to boot so you can get flashing other gingerbread ROMs. I hope you don't have trouble flashing, and if you do, read the OP to what I linked you to. All the instructions are there.
I know this file has been failing for you but you can try restarting your computer and flashing it from safe mode. When your computer is booting up, keep pressing F8 until you get a menu. Pick "Safe mode with networking" from the menu using your arrow keys and press enter.
sorry too many tabs open

Only because he was failing with one-clicks and wanted to use ODIN. That one (KG4) has always worked for me, so I was basing it off of experience. Never claimed it was optimal

Never thought about trying it from safe mode. Nice idea.

That's what I'm saying. I don't use heimdell(because my computer hates it for some reason). So ravers stock GB and honks kernel to get cwm works well to set me back up.

glad you posted this. download just completed. i haven't done anything with this file yet... will follow your link.

oh after they say to flash the bhuvden kernel well that is what they told me to get rid of gremlines or something, then flash the custom rom, youll have cwm and such, tell me how it goes .
To all of you thank you very much for your help... I think I have my phone back.... Our fembot Linda is doing her thing right now...
@FB I tried one click method in safe-mode and it was unable to find the drivers even after reinstalling a few times.. restarted in normal mode and gave it one more shot and I now have my phone back.
Thanks again for all the help.

I totally forgot he made a stock ODIN. My bad!
I really need to rewrite the starter pack to have heimdall one click instructions. Nobody ever got around to making it.
I've only given the guide a cursory look at times, but I'd be willing to draft something for the guide if thst helps keep you focused on developing.

A video would be perfect. Been busy with school since I just started and now I got a gig making a website so I'm also working on that.

I've never done the video thing. Guess I can research it and give it a go.
