i dont think u would ever be needing the EFS folder to backup..

i have flashed 30 roms over nd over again and never got my tabs(gt-p1000 and p3100) bricked and never needed to restore EFS folder...if efs do troubles, all you need to flash the official rom of ur country and u are good to go:D

---------- Post added at 12:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:15 AM ----------

dude, the best way if u are rooted is to use FOLDER MOUNT app from playstore...

for ex: ur internal is full, u have a 2 gb game data on ext cad, with this app, u can link the data to ur internal sd OBB folder and run the game...

for more info, go search for app in playstore...

or u can use droid sail app, way better in moving apps and data to ext card

[General Questions and Answers] tetakpatak:
It is definitely good idea of yours to backup your EFS folder. Shavir Afroz won't be there to help you if you lose IMEI No. It indeed gets every here and there lost. 30 flashings he did is "unexperienced flasher", I did more than that since December 1st and I am compared to many here very decent.

You'll find in threads for your device explained how to do it: usually a command in Terminal emulator or ADB shell creates a tar file of the EFS folder.

Backup your EFS folder as the very first thing after you root your device and keep it saved on several places, also on your PC.

Boot llogo freezes and no access to recovery

Hello guys, i have just bought jiayu g3t.But after few hours of fighting with the original rom and getting rid of chinese software i have accidently erased launcher file and now my phone is stuck on starting logo. I cannot access the recovery (using wolume up + power buttons) because i don't even know if i have installed it correctly. Well i've did it using jiayu.es application from appstore, but after installation cwm was upside down, but usable, so i've made a backup, thinking it should be ok. Now I do not know what to do. Do you have any clues?

Ok. I managed to enter the recovery by pushing vol up for sth like 3-5s and then pushing power for a while, and finally to restore the rom.

flash CWM-image to mtd-partition using mtd-utils software

I want to flash CWM-recovery.img, I compiled via CM10/jelly-bean-sources, to mtd-recovery-partition of my g30refN79A-device/Amlogic AML8726-MX SoC.

Since fastboot-connection to device isn't operable for testing, I backed up the recovery-partition:

cat /dev/mtd/mtd2 > /sdcard/stock-recovery.img (12.582.912bytes)

Writing to mtd2 via cat/dd isn't possible, so I tried mtd-utils here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1902836

Backing up mtd2 via

nanddump /dev/mtd/mtd2 -f /sdcard/mtd2.img

writes a 8.388.608bytes-file,

but reflashing it leads to unsuccessful recovery-boot:

flash_erase /dev/mtd/mtd2 0 0

nandwrite /dev/mtd/mtd2 /sdcard/mtd2.img

However luckily

nandwrite /dev/mtd/mtd2 /sdcard/stock-recovery.img

is successful.

Do I have to inflate my 5.001.216byte-CWM-recovery.img to 12MB for "nandwrite" - but howto?

Bluetooth ear piece works on OEM ROMS but not on Custom ROMS (only for viber & skype)

Hi All,

First of all thank you to all the developers and experts for getting me to where I am in terms of understanding this whole ecosystem & tricks of Android. I have tried many many ROMS and there's one thing in common they all have, bluetooth earpieces does not work on Viber and Skype calls but works on everything (normal phone call, carkit & etc. On OEM ROMS they work perfect.

Once I install ANY custom ROM the functionality of the bluetooth earpiece for Viber, Skype ceases to work but the rest still works.

Has anyone noticed this? Is there a fix? Is this a normal occurrence when using a custom ROM?

My devices are as follows GT-i9100 (S2),GT-n7000 (Galaxy Note 1),Gt-n7100 (Note 2 only rooted so bluetooth on viber & skype works on this),& Nexus 7 Grouper

Thanks in advance for replies.

Xperia P

Hi, everyone. I've successfully rooted, bootloader unlocked and flashed a custom ROM in/on my Xperia P. Currently enjoying Honami MW HD V6 (really amazing). The current Kernel version is 3.0.8+ BuildUser @ buildhost) )#1 SMP PREEMPT. Needless to say - but saying it anyway - , it's a LT22i 4.1.2 JB device. I flashed the custom ROM based on the info from this forum and some tutorials on youtube. And my problem now is that, while trying to experiment another ROM (more specifically, the ENIGMA v6.2 AROMA), I get stuck on a weird message. The OP (at Enigma ROM thread) says that I must flash the custom Kernel Nemesis V6.3 first. HE says I must have already a JB stock ROM (I think I have). Then he gives me the instructions to do that.

"Unlock your bootloader using instructions here [link]

Download the fastboot package below and extract it somewhere e.g. your Desktop

Copy nemesis.elf to the same folder

Open cmd and enter fastboot directory

Write "fastboot flash boot nemesis.elf" and press enter

It will show you "Waiting for device"

Power off your phone and press the volume up button while you connect the usb

It should be flashed okay

Reboot and Wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache"

I try to follow it, but when I get to the 'Write "fastboot flash boot nemesis.elf" and press enter

It will show you "Waiting for device" ', I connect the device and it says to me the my device must be rooted.

Again, my device is rooted, unlocked botloader etc. I try a different method, via Flashtools, and I get the same message.

What do I have to do to finally be able to flash this custom Kernel and then flash the Enigma custom ROM?

Thank you very much for your time.

Kindle Fire 1 soft brick

Hi, this is my first post, but I have studied this forum backwards and forwards and not figured out an answer. I have a first gen. kindle fire which I rooted, installed TWRP, and put Jellybean on it. It worked great, I had no problems, but I found that there was an updated version of jellybean and I wanted to install it. I tried to install this using the same Kindle Fire Utility, that I used the first time, but something went wrong. It froze up and didn't work. So i tried to just put everything back to factory, I used TWRP to recover the factory OS but when I did it something went wrong. I rebooted but this time the Kindle fire logo was back to factory... but nothing else. It just sits on this logo and won't boot. My computer can read the kindle however, it can read it as a kindle or amd android device. Also, the Kindle Fire utility reads the amd device and can reboot remotely but it cannot install anything on it. I have tried several different programs that are supposed to fix this with no luck. Please let me know what you think.

I need to unroot - I think!

Utter Noob here looking for help!

Just got a new tablet and entering my first days in the Android world. Installed an app which will not run as it states the device is rooted (access to this was the main reason for buying the tablet). Well I haven't rooted it so it must have been done by someone else. I have trawled the internet and have hit a brick wall.

What I can tell you is:

1. Downloaded an app which confirmed the device was rooted.

2. There is no Super User application visible.

3. Had a look for SU files and there is only one (of the suggested 3) in the xbin path which it will not let me delete.

The tablet is a LelikTec branded, model K701HBC running android 4.2.2. Uses Allwinner A20 Cortex A7 chip.
