Hi friends , whenever I enter more into the world of android!
I wanted to tell you that BEFORE you flash CM11 did a backup with CWM on the stock rom and it's on the PC! And then flashee SIN CM11 to backup Folder " EFS "
CM11 Now I can receive calls , messages, etc. ..
But I did not copy the folder " EFS "
This means that the flash CM11 Folder " EFS " can not change it?
Currently I backup the folder " EFS " on PC , but the copy is from CM11
My questions:
1 - . Upon backup with CWM also made a copy of the folder " EFS "? So I can restore it and make a copy of the folder " EFS " from the stock rom ..
. 2 - A while ago I went unexpectedly Wifi ! I had to restart the phone and went back to have Wifi ! This has to do something with the folder " EFS "? I had never been the internet as now ..
. 3 - My IMEI on the device -> status - > empiesa with 35 and ends with 60 ( idk if they serve but just in case I tell xD)
I hope to answer soon and get me these questions , I have nerves and I no longer do. Thank you very much in advance!

Tried efs pro not work
As i know cwm do not backup efs folder
Tried nitrality did not work
We need to backup efs folder just to be safe while flashing as it contains imei and serial number etc and if lost we will lose connection both wi fi and 3g and our tab will be like a big ipod touch even without wifi (only media no internet or connection at all)

This is what I did on my Galaxy S2 long ago. Use both the backups created by the different commands specified in clean and raw section
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1068193&highlight=efs+command
Disclaimer: I have never had to recover from this backup, so you might want to do your own research to make sure you got a good backup. The thread I link to might be a good starting point
AnDruid, I've backed up my SGS 1 's /efs folder using the "tar zcvf /sdcard/efs-backup.tar.gz /efs" command, once rooted, which had all the nv files etc all nicely backed up as explained @ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1068193&highlight=efs+command
However, I never did the RAW section ... Never did need to revert back though .. or yet. Though I do not see myself ever going back from Jelly (Helly) Bean, only forward. An interesting "fix" I noticed once the SGS got a little "slow", was to boot into CWM and wipe the Dalvic cache and Cache partition.
Once the phone started up again, it did it's "reconfiguration" and once again worked like when I originally upgraded to Helly.
What I expect Mohamed is experiencing though, is the problem I currently have with my Galaxy TAB 2 P5100 which I've rooted as per http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957165 then using Terminal Emulator by Jack Palevich (available from the market), the TAB 2 states that "tar" and "busybox" commands is not available ....
Since I simply can't "yum install tar" or "yum install busybox", I'm a little lost.
Which does raises the question : Mohammed, how did you get past this issue ? Did you backup your TAB 2's (P5100) /efs folder and if so, please advise how.
Though I could "zip" the /efs folder with ES File Explorer, the .zip file does not contain the nv files, which I believe defeats the idea of the backup.
Well, would you believe it's as simple as installing "busybox" from the Play Store ...
Then the "tar" command is available :laugh:
If your tab is rooted you could use Es File Explorer to manually copy/paste the /efs folder into the /sdcard folder and then copy this onto your computer
Hi guys,
I have started this life saver thread (lol) for those who are getting md5 mismatch error while restoring backups in cwm..:screwy:
Dont delete the precious backups which show error in restoring due to md5 midmatch..
There are lot of methods to fix this but they all require terminal,adb n such things.. but I bet My method is d easiest..
Let's start,
Things required..
Nothing!!! Except a good file explorer which has a option to create new file.. I prefer root explorer but it costs to buy..
Cautionon't rename any folders in the backup Coz it makes ur backup useless..
1.Now open your file explorer & navigate to your clockworkmod/backup/(choose the backup which u want to restore)/ folder on your sd card and u will see a file called nandroid.md5 which contains all d info about the rom on which d backup was made..
2.Back up & then Delete the nandroid.md5 file and in options create a new file & name it as nandroid.md5 exactly as it was before (DON'T USE CAPS WHILE NAMING)..
3.Make sure u don't touch anything else & exit your file explorer..
4.Enter into cwm recovery and restore the backup which u modified.. Yuppy!! Restore successful..
OTHER CASES FOR RESTORING FAILURE
1.A bad or damaged backup
2.Problem with kernels related to mounting & unmounting /system,/data,/cache
3.Some have reported error in restoring bcoz of some folder created in system by root all data 2 sd app..
4.Renamed backups
If this method dint work for u then pls search & try other complicated methods..
Pls report after using this method and press thanks if this helped you..

What if the recovery installed before ROM flashing was not from TWRP but from CWM 6.0 version? And what if the backup was faulty with error message " failed to mount data" but the person continued the ROM flashing with a hope that everything will be fine, but it wasn't the Cyanogen 10.2 nightly was too faulty for the Samsung Galaxy i9001. Now I'm stuck with the blue Cyanogen rotating logo, unable to reboot and unable to go back to my default system, MD5 mismatch error. Can I do the steps mentioned through a PC, by accessing the folders and files inside the device by USB?
+1 tnx work on my galaxy note i717D CWM 6.0.4.3
Thanks
Thanks a lot! Worked verry wel on my rooted Acer Liquid E1

That happens in some cases, means your backup didnt finished (probably you didnt had enought space for it)
Just create an new file nandroid.md5, and try to restore it You have nothing to loose
B.Regards
Thanks
Thanks dude. BTW I anyone has problem locating the nandroid.md5 file it's in the /data/media/clockwork... on the N4 atleast

Jelly Bam is one of the most powerful ROM that ever existed for our device (all thanks to LoLaTiOn) and even I am using it till date and have never got this problem but it might not be the same case for everyone..
DAMN for NO BACKUP TAKEN
now lets solve your problem and lets fix your baseband and IMEI,take a deep breath now and copy the files that you see in backup/efs folder to your PC... now there are two possibilities that this might be the corrupt efs folder and it can also be the efs folder that have the correct data of your IMEI.
Once done copying those files to PC.,now copy and replace(if asked) the same folder on your internal storage of your phone... reboot in recovery,wipe data/cache/dalvik and reboot... is your IMEI fixed now???
If its still not fixed then download ODIN V1.85 and flash any stock gingerbread ROM(PDA only).
This should fix your problem and still if its not fixed then download a CM9 based (4.0.4) rom and flash via CWM.(this have more chances of restoring your IMEI).
if you any more doubts then feel free to ask here.
GOODLUCK
Thanks

Hello guys...first of all, i would like to thank you for your time reading my thread and about my problem
And i am sorry if i posted this on the wrong section.
I have been searching for days and in many forums, also googled about my problem...but to no use
I hope the pro's out there can help me out.
Okay..i am playing maplestory live deluxe game from the play store.
The problem is that i want to restore a maplestory live save game file. The save game file is from another link on the internet, which someone else played and uploaded it for other people to use. I want to use it. The save game has many godly items that i need.
But i dunno how to patch the save game file to my maplestory live file, so that i can use that save game.
I use android device (samsung galaxy tab 2 7.0 gt-p3100)
It has [email protected] rooted
Already install titanium backup
The person who posted the save game link said that, the save game file must be extracted and placed under sdcard/titanium backup folder on my device. Then open the titanium backup app and search for the folder...then hit restore.
The biggest problem is, my titanium backup could not detect the save game file that i got from the link.
I know the file is not corrupt cause other people who downloaded it has no problem whatsoever in restoring the file.
I already tried menu>prefrences>backup folder location>detect>whole device on my TB, but it says "no backup location was found"
The save game file is there under sdcard/titanium backup. I can see it clearly...but for some reason TB cannot detect it under the backup/restore tab.
I have also tried reboot to recovery and fix permission...but the problem persist.
Do help me...and thank you in advance
Anyone??...help..
I'm not sure but what i think is u already have a backup in ur titanium backup so it wont show to restore data from the new saved file.
So try this
1. Take a backup of tb folder (in case u mess up)
2. Except the apk file in tb folder in sd card delete other 2 files.
3. Then try the same procedure as above (i.e. copy the data to tb folder again....and so on)

Sorry..but i don't get what u are saying.
Delete other 2 files? Which file?
There are 3 files on your tb folder
1. Apk
2. Tar.gz (data)
3. Properties file (all compressed)
U have to delete the tar.gz (the data file) in ur tb folder and then put the new data file in that folder and try restore again.

Negative...does not work for me.
Okay...its my first time using TB..
I think the main problem is that i dunno how to access folder or file from TB.
Whenever i hit the Backup/Restore in TB it only opens a list of app that says "Ordered by app name (click to change)"
The list of app name is very long and have 3 colours : red, green and white.
Well i know the red coloured is the OS Kernel and can malfunction your device if u delete or wipe it.
But i do not see any file or folder to access from there (Backup/Restore)
So, how do i backup or restore any file or folder if it isn't there..?
For example, u said to backup my tb folder...i know that the tb folder is under sdcard/titanium backup..
But i don't see it in the Backup/Restore in TB. Is there something i'm missing here?

I didnt mean backup/restore tab ... what i said was just copy your tb folder from sd card to pc in case u mess and can restore easily.
And can u just send me the file so that i can check on my side if it works.
Ok..i dunno how to put the file in this post.
But u can get the file here.. http://www.mediafire.com/?g9pvpg26gqtfg
Its a list of save game that this person uploaded and share with other people to use
I need the maplestorylvdelx.zip file and having trouble with it.
Like i said..when i extract it and put it under sdcard/titanium backup...TB just not detecting it.
When i hit Backup/Restore in TB and click on Maplestory icon to restore data...there is no restore option...only backup option.

Well the problem at last .... its not a tb backup file..
If u wanna see how does a tb saved game file actually look like, download a7 (i.e. asphalt 7 game file) from the same link u gave me and open the zip.
Those are the tb files needed to restore game data using tb software like i told u previously (tar.gz and properties file).
Now for your solution
As your file is simple save game data file......
You only need to copy the downloaded file (i.e. maplestory.zip) to root/data/data
And start the game and u will get the saved data.

Okay...first of all, thank you for your patience with me.
Now i finally know the difference between a TB save file and a normal save game data.
Just one last noob question...
U said to extract the maplestory.zip then put it under root/data/data right?
Errr...where do i find the root/data/data folder?....lol
When i open My Files under storage>sdcard , there is no root or root/data/data folder..
But, i do have ES File Explorer and ASTRO File Manager app..
When i use both this app to look in my device...there is also no root/data/data folder... BUT there is a folder named root that is located under device...along with other folders (acct, cache, config, d and so on)
Is that the folder u are mentioning? But the root folder is empty.
And exactly what do i see in this root/data/data folder anyway?
Is it empty or have something in it?

Sony's Android™ Concept
If you are beginner or power-user you can create and install your own Sony's Android™ Concept !!
Why ????
Because Sony's Android™ Concept is a quick and lite os for your device .
What you need to create this concept ????
ROOT and RECOVERY .
7zip
START
1. Uncheck md5 in recovery !! , Make 2 backups of actual ROM and BOOT !! , this is very important for next step and your security .
(first : data , system , boot , first backup is four you only , second : only system and boot)
2. Copy your second backup to folder on desktop
3.Work only in backup on desktop !!
4.Edit system via 7zip
5.Go to app folder , next folder is priv-app - this files is in system !!
6.Than you start work , check other apps , you can do this using APK INFO ( Sometimes is games in this app you find other folders with apps !! )
WORK
1. In 7zip edit app folder
2. Look on the screens (screens - in screen you have apps to save in your backup)
3. Delete apps other , save only apps in backup from screen other apps must be deleted
4. Do the same in priv-app
5. Games and other trashes from other folders you delete at your own risk
Now if you finish your job , copy to your sd card new backup image .
REMEMBER DELETE SYMLINKS TOO WITH THE SAME NAME IN FOLDER OR YOU BRICK YOUR SYSTEM !!
Wipe data , system , cache , dalvik etc. and restore your new backup .
READY , reboot and wait to finish boot . This is 5-40 minutes don't stress wait .
Any problems ???? Back to your backup !!
Good luck with your work [/CENTER]
