alright, that's it. ur efs partition is corrupt, but I need a dump from a fresh stock untouched phone to make sure its fixed properly. In the mean time, I have made a zip of my efs. So change the instructions and do this.

Make a new folder I'm the same folder as adb.exe and name is efs. Extract the contents of attached zip inside efs folder. When u use adb inside cmd, type "adb push efs /". Then reboot. Report back on if that works or not
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Dwolf16:
ok so i rebooted what should i be looking for? when i was in root explorer nothing changed. When i went back into cwm it's still saying "Can't mount efs!" But in the cmd prompt it showed the "adb push efs /" worked
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] icenight89:
do u have a keystr right in /efs? does ur lock screen work, or power button? If not ur gonna have to wait til I get an efs dump from someone
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Dwolf16:
yea i got nothing....also when i did method one originally i would make the file

keystr

type in "ON"

Saved

and it would work until i rebooted...i just there was a way to save it after boot
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mimart7:
The push worked, but there is nothing in the imei directory.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Dwolf16:
Can you mount efs?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mimart7:
I can, but it still doesn't work, we'll have to wait for a work around.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Dwolf16:
Flash the zip below with cwm and then try method 2 again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] icenight89:
u guys both have corrupt efs partitions, that's why nothing saves. Once I get a proper dump I'll make a zip u can flash through cwm to fix ur problem.

To speed things along, if u know any users who have an unrooted untouched stock skyrocket let me know
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Dwolf16:
nope i got nthn

i have a nandroid backup of my stock 2.3.5 and 2.3.6 that i made with CWM before i rooted and installed the ICS leeks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] icenight89:
thanx bud, but I need an untouched phone to do it,unrooted and running 2.3.5
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] aqs2k:
same issue here - flashed UCLC5 Note Modem

Using Rogers , and I have the exact same problem.

I flashed the Note Modem and now power Menu no longer appears ( just shuts down ).

I also cant create "keystr" file in imei folder using root explorer.

I'll try method2 later tonight an report back.

I got the modem from the Develop Thread (SKY ICS UCLD2--- 4.2D-6) ROM. I dont have 10 posts yet otherwise I would warn others in there :(

---------- Post added at 09:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:43 PM ----------

Ok, I tried EFSFix.zip through CWM and then method2 again and still no luck. I cant mount the EFS partition and ADB does not detect it.

Is it possible to create a CWM flashable zip that reformats the efs partition and puts back the stock efs folder files? I appreciate everything you're doing icenight89 .
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] icenight89:
well that's the plan, ur just another user waiting on it lol. I need a fresh untouched phone to dump from. Until then its a waiting game
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cmglol:
I couldn't put anything in my imei folder, so what I did was i copied it to the root of my sdcard, created the keystr file there, then copied the folder back to /efs and it worked :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] aqs2k:
I tried doing this and it still did not work.

I copied the imei folder to root of SD Card. Then created the keystr file and edited it ( it created the keystr & bak file just fine ). Then I tried copying the folder back to the efs folder location ( it told me it was sucessfull, however when I went into the imei folder, it still did not have the keystr file in there ( it only copied keystr.bak ).. I have a feeling there already exists a keystr file in there that may be corrupt or something.

I even tried deleting the whole imei folder ( it said it was sucessful, but as soon as I went up one directory and came back, the imei folder was still there ) - like its permanently stuck in read only mode.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] icenight89:
as I've already said, YOU have a corrupt efs, along with some others. U were the unfortunate few who really screwed up there phone with note radio. I'm working on a fix, hang tight. I know no lock screen and lack of power menu are annoying, but your phone still works.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] uhhdoug:
can confirm as user of no lock/pwr menu that method 2 is not working.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] icenight89:
As an aside, you missed a slash infront of efs when u pushed the file, that's why you got an error. We are currently working on it though, hopefully i can get it to you guys soon.

As another aside, i would not mind all those thanks at all! ;)

Method 3 Works!!

Yes - Method 3 Works !!

I noticed that my efs folder now has much more in it than before. I wonder if I was missing other things before - just phone never showed any other symptoms.

Thanks again!!!

Side Note: I had always been under the impression that a nandroid backs up everything, now I will have to rethink things. Is there a way to do a complete 100% backup of your phone? kinda feels like I should go in there with root explorer and manually copy all my folders.

I've had some issues since I flashed UCLC5 radio. My phone never had the other issues, but I was having problems running recovery full backups. It would hang during the backup indefinitely. So while I had none of the other issues, I was having problems with my EFS corrupted.

I had flashed the UCLD2 modem back, but the EFS corruption persisted through multiple wipes, and prevented me from doing a full backup in recovery. I went ahead and only installed the CWM .zip file in the first post and it seems to have eliminated the problem. I can now do full backups and my EFS appears to be in working order now.

Really want to extend a hearty thanks for the work put into this, it finally got my phone back to 100% running ICS.

HELP..I downloaded the new ICS for the skyrocket and my phone sucks. I cant tell you how many times ive wiped it and how many times a day I have to do a battery pull cause this phone constantly freezes
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] sgtpepperaut:
yeah i am having the same problem.

flashed note modem onto i727 which presumably corrupted the EFS partition. applied method 3 fix from here which made powermenu and lockscreen work fine again. However [ROM]SKY ICS--- 4.2D-9 keeps freezing and shut down keeps hanging has well. very annoying.

factory reset, cleared cashes many times and reinstalled SKY ICS but the problem still persists. i am also experiencing some force closes before shutdown when entering recovery via rom manager.

i would appreciate any assistance :)

ohh and which modem are u using ? blaze 4g by any chance?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] icenight89:
So heres the deal. Both of u still have the uclc5 aka note radio installed. Flash a different radio, flash my fix, flash a different rom. Problem solved
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] sgtpepperaut:
hey. i flashed about 4 different radios before reflashing the new room.... hmm the powermenu issue was fixed but new ICS still freezes occasionally and turning device of from powermenu gets stuck too. :(

actually i went back to my nanroid from sky ics rc7.4 speed and running a vk1 modem now and things seem to work fine. but as soon as i flash the new sky ics the problem are coming back.

could be an issue with the new ICS 4.2D but other people dont have the problem so i am assuming that there is a connection.

thx for the fix btw. at least i have my powermenu and lockscreen back :)

Method 3 GT-I9100

Hi ice.

Im from south africa.

I have flashed to ICS using odin, but I have the same problems as described.

No Lock screen, no power menu.

I also have to toggle sim card pin reguest each time the phone starts up for it to join the network. (So i can phone and sms people)

I have tried method 1, and I could create the file, and it stays there after rebooting, but all problems remain.

My question is: Will method 3 be applicable to my I9100 (Normal Galaxy S2)

Thanks,

Hope to hear from you soon.

I have a samsung 9100 with android 4.0.3 *LPG*

I downloaded the file from this post and flashed it with CWM

after I went with total commander to file system root/efs/imei

there I created a file named 'keystr' and inserted 'ON' in the file

after I had the power menu and the lock screen working ( even without restart ;) )

good luck :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Dwolf16:
To make sure it actually works is to restart some users find that method one works. You are correct though right after you add the script it will work but to confirm the file save you have to reboot the phone.

I reflashed stock rom with ODIN and now my phone my works again (good IMEI) and connects to network just fine.

Should I still apply this fix?

Also, does method 2 requires not require a reflash with ODIN after the ADB command? Is this safe to do, or should I backup my current EFS somehow?

Good day, icenight89.

I have corrupt EFS on my SHV-E250S, i wonder if it will work for me, lost my bandwidth and IMEI, the device can’t see my simcard.

Thank you for work you do for all android users!

METHOD TWO

Did not work, in /efs/imei directory no keystr file, only mps_code.dat, when open with text reader, inside SKT writed, thats all(((

Straight after method 2 i tried method one:

Method One:

Steps 5-10 Only

And still nothing, i dont get what was the last bit: (Now u have a few options. U can flash ics back using either Odin one click (UCLA4 or UCLD2), but I don't recommend this. Flash one of the ics roms from the development section, we have great devs!) but never mind since i did 5-10!

About method 1: when you create "keystr", does it have to be "keystr.dot" or just "keystr"? anyway tried both, and nothing (((

I cant download this updated EFSFix.zip file from the link in the midle of your post somewere.

I have downloaded the EFSFix.zip from the first page in your post, copied it to my sd card, flashed, reboot, but still see no IMEI, and dandwidth version (((

EFS, IMEI issue.

Hello, have you solved your problem?

I have same problem as you with my SHV-E250S 4G LTE 64Gb Korean, you can have a look at my posts.

i just came back from the Samsung official service center, and guess what, they can`t help me. They say i need to flash an original factory rom, i even brought them the two roms i downloaded from the: www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&model=SHV-E250S&pcode=0&os=1&type=1#firmware

And they said that these are not official factory roms, that they are custom, all thaw when i flash with one them, and go to recovery mode, my current binary changes to official. Don’t know why but everything else stays the same:

ODIN MODE

PRODUCT NAME: SHV-E250S

CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: Yes (37 counts)

CURENT BINARY: Official

SYSTEM STATUS: Custom

don’t KNOW HOW TO FIX, AND WHERE TO GET FACTORY KOREAN ROM((((

Open root explorer, go to EFS\FactoryApp\ right click factorymode file, and choose to open in text editor change OFF to ON, It has to be

ON

rm /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode

echo -n ON >> /efs/FactoryApp/keystr
