Can anyone help me with some tutorial for noob please? Anyone please? Do I need busy box? Di I need to check the busy box optional?

Regards
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] lyriquidperfection:
You do not need to check the busybox option unless you have problems backing up or restoring your efs partition.

is it normal that the wait for the program to start for more than 5 minutes? i've been waiting in front of my laptop for more than 5 minutes with only message box on the bottom right screen saying "Welcome to EFS Pro! C Gaz 2012. Initializing, Please Wait..."

Thanks,

Devise is NOT connected! - however, it is ...

Hi,

I experience the following problem:

when I start EFS Pro, the message turns up

However, the device is connected - I just rooted it a moment ago with the same cable at the same USB port of my Laptop, and the USB-Logo is shown in the top header of the note.

My Laptop: Win 7 64 Prof, Kies is installed (for the drivers) but not running.

What should I do?

SAMSUNG device only!

So im one of those who owns a T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S2, bought it online used. The phone has NO imei, no baseband, and no serial number... and there is no sticker underneath the battery... But im here because of my screenshot below... I installed EFS pro and once i try to run it, it gives me the message "EFS Pro application is for SAMSUNG device only!"

But why, i have a SGII2?

:(

Hi please post your ROM information so I can take a look. Also if there is no IMEI sticker underneath the battery, I would suggest returning the device as this sounds a bit dodgy imo.

hey lyriquidperfection,

So flashed a stock rom and the error goes away now.

BUT NOW, when i want to do 'Data Backup Method', 'Backup Data to Restore' or 'Attempt NV Recovery' it fails and it freezes the application... :(

Have you checked the 'Use Internal Busybox' Option? If not try it and let me know.

Yes. Now repack that to tar with 7-zip. No compression, store only.

You need to flash it with odin and hope it allows your device to boot.

with which slot?

and i need to install it before flashing combination file or along with combination file ?

sorry to disturb you sir,

pls help me to resolve this issue, i have been waiting for your replies since long time.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ashyx:
Just put it in AP after installing combo firmware.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] giri.sgc:
hi ashy, i tried, but same error as Subsytem Crashed modem. i am getting this error only if i wipe the data, if i just install the combination file without erasing the data i am able to see the factory binary logo. from there it will continuously bootloop. all the time it will loop and opens factory binary and will switch off immediately after getting the factory binary logo
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ashyx:
Tbh I not sure what else to suggest or why it's giving you the error?

As far as I'm aware the Chinese combo firmware is compatible with Hong Kong devices.

If you're desperate the only other alternative is to actually take it to a phone repair shop as they will have the right hardware to fix the Imei and shouldn't cost too much.

Can I ask how you actually managed to lose the baseband?

Did you install firmware for the SM-G965F, Galaxy S9?

Also I know it's late and you've probably learned an important lesson from this, NEVER EVER flash anything custom without making a full backup with TWRP first.

That few minutes could have saved you a lot headache.

I say this over and over and it gets ignored by happy flashers and the result can be a non working device. :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ashyx:
Why does your screen shot show SM-G965F under Service provider SW? This cannot be correct as it seems your custom firmware has installed this.

https://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4724810&d=1552737462

Tbh I think your CSC is messed up.

When installing the stock firmware which CSC image are you installing?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] giri.sgc:
yes, i have installed custom firmware, then only i am able to open factory binary settings. but getting error as - Unfortunately, The Process com.android.phone Has Stopped
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ashyx:
Is your sim card still in the device?

Regardless of the above error when the device boots do you get a response when using the adb command?:

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] giri.sgc:
No, i have removed the simcards

No, i didnot get any error or response like adb command or adb devices.

I am not aware of adb.

No, i have removed the simcards and memorycards

And i didnot get any error or response like adb command or adb devices.

I am not aware of adb. Pls Let me know how to remove this error - The Process com.android.phone Has Stopped
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ashyx:
The error must be a result of the mismatched firmware.

Try factory reset or wipe cache in recovery.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] giri.sgc:
now atleast i am able to get factory binary with one error - The Process com.android.phone Has Stopped.

if i wipe cache/factory reset i will not able to on the phone also, as soon as i on the mobile, i will get error as Sub system Crashed modem. after that even if i install modem img also no use. only with this custom ROM i am able to open factory binary. not with any other ROM.

Now if we remove this error - The Process com.android.phone Has Stopped. i can access the factory binary settings.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] giri.sgc:
hi, kindly help
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ashyx:
There's something I'm confused by, so if you could explain your steps a little.

Basically when you flash the combo firmware with ODIN this overwrites every partition (or should do), so in reality it shouldn't matter what you flash before hand, be it custom firmware or stock as it gets overwritten anyway.

I'm a little perplexed as to why you say it boots after flashing the custom firmware as this gets wiped by the combo firmware. :confused:
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] giri.sgc:
Hi ashyx,

i successfully opened factory binary, but in IME when i click *#06#, it is showing only serial umber and no IMEI.

Kindly help
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ashyx:
What did you do to get it to boot to the os?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] giri.sgc:
installed combination through Odin v3.11.1. then it worked
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ashyx:
So everything works as normal without needing to mess about mixing firmware also without any errors?

My advice is to install TWRP then delete/wipe the whole EFS folder. It will rebuild at boot time.

Ensure you back it up first!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] giri.sgc:
to install TWRP again i need to install stock ROM or can i directly install with this combination rom? and i need to delete whole EFS folder? in this thread Guide B (https://xdaforums.com/s7-edge/how-to/guide-how-to-fix-check-drk-imei-issues-t3379516) i have read that - Inside the /efs folder, delete everything EXCEPT the 'FactoryApp' and 'prov_data' folders. what to do?

and also some people are telling like if the KNOX is 0x1, we cannot restore IMEI.. is it true or we can still get back IMEI even if it is 0x1?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ashyx:
Just install twrp with odin. It doesn't matter which firmware you're running.

Try both ways with the EFS, see what works. Also knox has nothing to do with the IMEI, if that was the case noboby on here would have an IMEI as knox is tripped as soon as anything custom is flashed.

Like I said to you earlier if all else fails take it to the phone shop. They all have the tools to restore the imei.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] giri.sgc:
Hi Ashyx,

I have contacted many service centers and repair shops but they all told me it cannot be done. somewhere i have read that it can be done if we have z3x. if you know anyone who can do it please suggest me and also if any one can do remotely pls let me know. meanwhile i will try to clear efs and will check if that works.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ashyx:
Why are you mixing bootloaders and firmware?

Match the bootloader to the firmware and twrp should boot. Failing that the whole firmware.

Backup EFS then delete/wipe it.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ashyx:
Secure download is not causing your issue.

If there is no OEM_UNLOCK then how did you manage to install TWRP previously?

Maybe you should just flash the combo firmware to bypass FRP?

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] giri.sgc:

Now backup the EFS partition to sd card then delete the EFS folder or wipe the EFS partition (if it allows you to.)

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ashyx:
No IMEI at all, not even a default imei?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] giri.sgc:
no, still both imei and baseband are unknown
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] giri.sgc:
Hi ashyx, kindly help
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ashyx:
The only other thing to try as a last resort is formatting the EFS partition to clean it. Hopefully it will re-populate either by flashing the stock firmware or the combo firmware.

However you need to install twrp to do this. So whatever is required do that first and install twrp.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] giri.sgc:
HI Ashyx,

please find below the procedures i followed.

Old Stock - N9500ZHS4CRJ1_N9500ZZH4CRJ1_TGY

New Stock - N9500ZHS4CRL1_N9500ZZH4CRL1_TGY

Combo - COMBINATION_FA71_N9500ZCU4ARG1(By_titanicphone.com)

1) Stock firmware-> Wipe Data -> installed Combo -> Checked IME -*#06# -> Only Serial is present but no IMEI & Baseband -> installed Stock again

2) Stock firmware-> installed TWRP-> mounted EFS -> Taken EFS backup -> Then deleted all the folders and files inside EFS except Factory APP and ProvDATA -> Wipe Data -> installed Combo -> Checked IME -*#06# -> Only Serial is present but no IMEI & Baseband -> installed Stock again - Only Serial is present but no IMEI & Baseband

3) Stock firmware-> Installed TWRP-> mounted EFS -> Taken EFS backup -> Then deleted all the folders and files inside EFS(including Factory APP and PROVdata - now EFS Folder is Empty) -> Wipe Data -> installed Combo -> Got DRK ERROR ->Installed Noverity -> installed Stock again - Only Serial is present but no IMEI & Baseband

4) Downloaded New Stock - installed TWRP-> mounted EFS -> Taken EFS backup -> Then deleted all the folders and files inside EFS except Factory APP and ProvDATA -> Wipe Data -> installed Combo -> Checked IME -*#06# -> Only Serial is present but no IMEI & Baseband -> installed Stock again - Only Serial is present but no IMEI & Baseband

5) New Stock - Installed TWRP-> mounted EFS -> Taken EFS backup -> Then deleted all the folders and files inside EFS(including Factory APP and PROVdata - now EFS Folder is Empty) -> Got DRK ERROR ->Installed Noverity -> installed Stock again - Only Serial is present but no IMEI & Baseband

Note: for all the above steps, if i install the combo directly - installation PASS and i am getting struck at Factory Binary LOGO and then it bootloop, even waited for almost 15-20 Min even though bootlooping and not able to open factory binary.

So, i wiped data before installing COMBO, then it worked well and i am able to open Factory Binary. and for all the above steps i got unknown status for CP, P_SN, HW, Cal.D as Unknown(attached screenshot). dont know why?

if there are any steps that i need to follow please suggest.

Then i panic and found some software which with u can insert your IMEI,but i have accidentally wiped my efs.So now when i install firmware it is stuck at samsung logo,and in TWRP it says failed to mount /efs Invalid argument.So i ask u if u can guide me on what to do and how to get efs file.Your help is appreciated.Thank you.
