need /efs folder..

Thanks for assisting Abhishek. I have been reading up on this and all posts seem to be pointing to the /efs folder. I just checked and I noticed that I don't have an efs folder in root!!! Now I am not sure how that happened but it seems to make sense now. Now I am hunting for someone who may have uploaded the critical files required to restore /efs. I don't have a backup. I assumed that a TWRP had me covered, obviously not. This is turning out to be interesting and frustrating at the same time. :fingers-crossed: Hoping your video would point me in the right direction.

Ti Backup/Restore

Hi Raja,

Here's what you need to do..

1) Download Titanium from the play store

2) Allow it root access

3) Ensure USB debugging is on

4) Once inside TB, click options key and select "Batch actions"

5) You would see tons of buttons - Look for "Backup Apps + Data" and hit it

6) Let it run through and you are done (ensure that you backup to external SD - This can be set under options)

7) Go ahead and flash the new ROM

8) Do steps 1,2,3,4 when the device is back up

9) Check off the stuff you want to restore.

Let me know if you are stuck.

Thanks,

~s~

PS: Before you do anything. Please back up your /efs folder and also take a complete backup using TWRP. I learnt it the hard way.

[Micromax A116] send2sherry:
I am assuming that you have downloaded the 0.16 version of the stock ROM from MMX site (or somewhere else)

1. In the video @2:51 you formatted the phone

2. Disconnect the phone. Ensure it is off by removing the battery

3. Click download (@3:01). At this point the phone should still be not connected to USB

4. You would see "Searching" in the status bar. This is when you should connect the phone

5. As soon as you connect the phone you would see colored progress bars. It would take about 3:00 mins to complete the flashing process

Try getting until step 5 for now, I'll walk you through the rest of the steps. Though for the last few I just restored from my TWRP backup image. Nevertheless, you may be able to follow the video completely.

Your phone should be OFF when you connect it to your computer. Also ensure that you have installed the drivers from the MMX website. If your OS is 64 bit, you would need the alternate drivers that Abhishek has updated to the A116 rooting post.

[Micromax A116] sajid.droid:
Looks like u missed something,

1.Hope u noted down ur wifi, serial and imei numbers.

2.Remove ur battery and keep ur phone aside.

3.Now run the sp flash tools and select scatter file from latest stock rom.

4.Click on format option and then format whole flash, click ok. Now connect your phone( i hope its still off :D). Do not unplug untill u see green circle. close the sp flash tools.

5.Now unplug the phone and remove battery.

6.Again run sp flash tools and select scatter file from latest stock rom, click on download, now connect your phone and wait till process completes(takes around 3mins)

7. Now close sp flash tools and remove ur battery and follow the video.

Hi Seniors,

After yesterday's fiasco wherein I lost my Baseband and IMEI, I realized that TWRP does not backup the EFS folder. Proof of that is that even after I wiped the device, flashed the custom ROM (JellySmart v1.2) and then restored the TWRP backup of the JS v1.2 image, I could not get my Baseband or IMEI back. I scourged XDA and other forums and found that everyone (yes! everyone) recommends that we back the EFS folder up. So when I managed to salvage my phone, the first thing I did was use ES File Explorer and locate EFS. Is not in root. I searched and did not get any hits. How do I do this on the A116?

Thanks,

~s~

EDIT: Just so that no one is confused. I restored the phone using Sajid's video. I now just need help backing up my EFS folder.
[Micromax A116] sajid.droid:
Hahaha, thanks for the edited lines sherry. My video seems little bit tricky at first but second time u dont need to do it. As im testing with abhishek kumar on other roms, i did not face any problems with baseband or imei or any other kind. Dont know why it messing up with baseband when we flash custom rom for first time, even A110 users are facing same problem for first time.
[Micromax A116] maxwordlife100:
Thanx a ton kumar abhishek, send2sherry for answering my stupid questions, because of which I was able to recover my mobile... Thanx a lot... :good::good::good:

[Micromax A116] sajid.droid:
Good work maxwordlife100, im really glad. Your getting WiFi NVRAM error cause u didnt enter wifi mac adress, i mentioned in video to note down the WiFi mac address and enter during sn tools procedure. If u have wifi mac address pls switch off your phone and run sn tools and rewrite wifi address.
[Micromax A116] maxwordlife100:
Thanx a lot for ur replies also.. Sorry left out ur name be4... Actually wifi mac address was unknown like imei and baseband so dint updated dat... Is there any other way for searching wifi mac address or any particular address wich i can put???

Thanx once again...
[Micromax A116] sajid.droid:
Hello maxwordlife100, check if its shows in your wifi router. or else open cmd in windows and type arp -a, it shows all the connected devices in your network, match with ip address of your device.

Good job guys, its been great experience. Even i was panic when i lost baseband, now i am able to flash custom roms without any issue, currently im using JellyXperia2 from last couple of weeks and im loving it, some guys complaint about this rom but as far as im concerned its pretty fast and smooth.
[Micromax A116] theguy2luk4:
So what is the pre-requisite for flashing JellyXperia.

I wanted to flash but read about the Baseband and Stuff and desisted from flashing.

Do i need to flash S9201_MP_F4_B1_IN_MMX_0.16__flasher_user before flashing JellyXperia.?
[Micromax A116] sajid.droid:
Hello theguy2luk4,

S9201_MP_F4_B1_IN_MMX_0.16__flasher_user is latest update release from MMX for minor fixes like calibration & etc, yes flash this update before you flash JellyXperia2. Me and other people faced baseband issues with this phone before flashing custom rom. If your advanced user then go ahead and flash JellyXperia2, you may or may not face this baseband issue ( we guys have no idea why its causing baseband issue, i hope abhi is working on it). This video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6WlS0XuH14E) helps to restore baseband in case you lost, check out the video first before you flash, if u understand any of this and your sure u can handle this then pls go ahead with caution.

Note : required a rooted Canvas HD and 3G connection is preferred (2G also works though)

1) Download FasterGPS app from play store.

2) Open the app. Allow the app to have Root access.

3) Now change the continent to Asia and country to India. A message will appear that ' Gps.conf was written successfully'.

4) Activate gps by going to settings-> location

5) Download Gps Test app from play store. Go to an Open space. Open the app. The first lock will take less than a minute. And then successive locks will take 10-20 seconds at max.

I have been using this since Feb 18. No bugs. The only complaint I had was the apps could not be moved to ext SD. For that you can root the phone and use the SD swap solution documented on this website. Once rooted this phone's a powerhouse and you won't have any complaints. Go for it, if you can find it.

---------- Post added at 08:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:01 PM ----------

The stock ROM is pretty good, as there aren't any lags. So there is little scope of improvement for a stock ROM. The default launcher of the stock ROM isn't as quick, so I had installed the Apex launcher and after that the performance was flawless ! But I like the Sony UI and wanted some of those features, so I flashed the JellyXperia ROM. It is very smooth with no bugs. The launcher is also snappy, plus I get the Walkman, the Bravia Engine, The Album, The Movies, an awesome File Explorer ! A torch with a widget and WiFi direct. All of which was missing in the stock ROM ! Things that don't work are :

1) TrackID

2) The Walkman widget (One feature I'm missing the most :( )

3) Play Store isn't downloading anything. It opens, it searches for files but doesn't lets you download any new app or an update for an already installed app. I'm using Apptoide at the moment to get apps.
