I made a full nandroid backup on twrp about a week ago which included every option including EFS, when I went to (fully) restore the backup due to a faulty ROM it got stuck at 36% and wouldn't continue, I left it overnight to see if it would work and it did not, so I pulled the battery out and went to re run the restore but it has dissappeared, it wasnt on my SD card anymore and I couldn't figure out what had happened so I restored a different backup that only included data, system, and recovery, and when I booted my phone it said it was in Factory mode right away, but it didn't have the yellow text in the background, I have access to my cellular network but when I turn WiFi and then open an app that uses it, the phone instantly shuts off, I was reading online that the EFS was corrupt but the whole folder was empty, not a single file in it. I can't find anyone else who had the same problem and would greatly appreciate any help, I'm quite desperate to get this fixed

Hello All,
I have a collection of problems in my samsung galaxy gt-s7562 (s duos) android 4.0.4!
Firstly, i dont know why and how this happened but my phone shows my EFS folder to be empty ( through all kinds of browsers ) , but i have everything fine (IMEI , wifi , phone ) except the lockscreen. After seeing this, i took a backup of my efs folder using EFSpro backup and the backup file size was around 20kb. I have tried restoring to a previous nandroid backup and many other things but none helped.
Secondly, due to the first problem i tried restoring my phone to stock rom. i downloaded the file form sammobile, flashed it on my phone using ODINv3 1.85 by putting the file in the PDA section and allowing ODIN to do the rest. But before all of this i had taken a nandroid backup of the phone. I lost my root and cwm recovery. Moreover, i saw that my phone flashed a yellow screen of info on the home screen. I dont exactly remember if the sim was working at that time or not. So since i wanted to go back so i flashed the recovery file through odin with suto reboot and fresettime checked. Then i went into cwm recovery and did a restore from there. It had restored succesfully but then i saw that my phone was unable to receive a network signal!! It showed signal when the phone starts then it keeps on decreasing, turns off and on a couple of times and then it permanently turns off!! PLZ PLZ HELP !!!!!! ;-( ;-(

You posted link on I9070 thread, I came from there. Lot of users had similiar problem with I9070 when they changed GB for JB. Factory reset from recovery helped. Try that.

Uhhhmmmm Hello,
I got a Huawei Ascend Y210D Cellphone, and i got it rooted, and i deleted some files, now it wont open, when i open it, it shows the logo and its animation only, it keeps on repeating, until i tried to factory resset , now i could open it , but when i press something like the manage apllications, it says com.process.manage applications has stopped something like that, but when i tried like the sound or display in settings , i could access it, i downloaded an app, now i have clicked the shutdown button , it will display the logo with its animation again, repeating, now i removed the battery, and open it again, it shows the logo with animation again,
Is there a way to fix this??? i cant seem to find a custom rom for this device, do i still need to download a rom or just use some tools to recover the files? i think i havent unlock the bootloader.
really thank you in advance, any answers will be appriciated by me , im sorry if i made a mistake
Have you made a nandroid backup prior to deleting files? If you have, restoring this nandroid backup should fix these problems. You will lose app-data that has been changed after you created the nandroid backup when restoring.
If you have not created a nandroid backup you should try to flash the stock rom as can be found here; huaweiy210d.blogspot.in/2013/04/stock-rom-for-huawei-y210d.html. Note that I do not own this device and have not tested this rom!
Thread closed as per Op's request.
Somehow my phone is bricked, although I still am not sure if it's because I actually did something wrong or it just decided to brick itself out of spite. Here's the rundown of events:
This past August I rooted my phone and installed cm-10.2. I made a backup of the stock rom beforehand (which for some reason is dated from 1970). Since then there have been a bunch of bugs, but nothing super major.
Today I decided to upgrade to cm-11, so I backed up everything important to my PC and used the auto-updater. I got a Status 7 error and the installation didn't complete, and I got stuck in a reboot loop that kept returning me only to the bootloader. I read on another forum that the problem was probably my CWM version (6.0.1.2 instead of 6.0.1.3). Anyway, I tried restoring one of my backups, but the bootloader said the folder was empty and no backups were found. I ended up reinstalling cm-10.2 and gapps from the same zip files I used months ago. This let me properly boot up my phone, but for some reason the google play store still wasn't working. I did a simple reboot and it started working again, so I downloaded rom manager and updated cwm. Rebooted into bootloader, made another rom backup, and tried again to install cm-11. Same error, install aborted. This time, however, my backups magically reappeared (along with an extra mystery backup that had today's timestamp but was ~10 hours in the future), so I restored the original (1970, stock rom). Things boot up fine.
I decide to try installing cm-11 one more time because at this point I assume that if it fails again I can safely restore a backup or at the very least reinstall cm-10.2. It fails again, but this time, when I try restoring any of my cm-10.2 backups I get a DM5 mismatch error and it immediately stops. Restoring 1970 is different, it starts recovering but then halfway through says "error restoring /system" or something like that. So now I'm left with no choice but to reinstall cm-10.2 from the same zip file again. Only this time, booting up only shows the cyanogenmod logo forever. I go back into bootloader and my backups are once again suddenly not recognized. I make a new backup of my broken phone to see if it will make the folder show up. I reboot, and now that new backup is the only one that does show up. Trying to restore gives me a DM5 error. I've now tried reinstalling cm-10.2 several times, but my phone will never get past the cyanogenmod logo. I'm out of ideas for how to get my phone to work.
My questions:
1. Any idea how to unbrick my phone? I have not done any factory resetting because I was worried it would erase my backups and also I don't really see how it would help.
2. Does anyone have a backup image I could use? I don't have mine stored anywhere but on my phone's internal SD, but I could maybe try loading one from my external SD if I had one.
3. What did I do wrong here? From my viewpoint it seems I basically tried the same thing twice and got different results. Is there something I'm missing?
4. If I get a new photon q, how the hell should I go about installing cm-11? I know people have gotten it to work before. Which version are you using?
Thanks for any and all help
I'm guessing you don't have a backup of stock?
Have you tried restoring stock everything using RSD Lite?
Also, how long have you let the phone sit? If the phone requires a 'fsck' (file system check) on you /data partition, you could be waiting for an hour or more at the boot animation.
I do not have any backups stored externally. I'm not familiar with RSD lite, could you explain and/or link? I have only left my phone for about half an hour at the most before hard rebooting it. I'll let it sit for a couple hours and see if it does anything different.

See this thread for information on how to restore stock... always a good idea to know how to reset the phone back to a complete stock configuration
Hi guys,
I really need your help here!
When I turned on my phone this morning, it booted up normally, but suddenly, after few seconds the phone froze and turned off. Now its still the same, but sometimes even image on screen freeze instead of turn black.
Now the weird part- i tried wipe data/cache in CWM or install another ROM. ROM update run smoothly, without any errors, but when i turned on the phone, data wasn't wipe at all, it was exactly in the same state as before. I also tried to delete data directory via adb shell with su, but it keeps telling me that data partition is read only. I tried remount it with -rw, but it didn´t make any difference, still getting read only message. Another strange thing is when i open the data directory in Droid explorer, it looks like the folder is empty, but in system info I can see there is over 1GB used in DATA partition.
Thanks for any advice or suggestions, I´m really desperate here!
update: when i boot the device in safe mode, it last on little bit longer. when i try to delete anything from data, it freezes instantly. Could somehow data partition be corrupted?
Hi,
I can't find anything relevant on XDA for your device and issue, and since it's an older device... Most threads I can find are likely very outdated.

Hellos,
A little over 2 weeks now, I accidentally deleted all my files with TWRP Recovery and didn't make a back up to my files so I used other forums to try to get the system again so what I got from it was that I had to use Odin to get it back, so I did and my phone worked again, which was a great relief, however, ( HERE'S THE PROBLEM), two days ago I turned my phone on and saw that I had no service, at first I thought it was locked, but it wasn't, now every time I turn my phone on it says invalid Sim Card and it has a red cross in the service tab on top. But the weird thing is that the IMEI is correct, but when I want to back up my EFS folder with andromizer it says that the file wasn't found. What can I do to solve this? I didn't know I had to back up my files, EFS Folder nor my IMEI, I didn't even know what they were that's why this is happening, please help. Thank You.
