I think I found a solution but it's a pain in the butt. I'm still not sure what is causing it but it's something in the custom roms I've been using. I flashed a stock rooted rom then signed in to G+ through ssg2 and did a titanium backup. After that I reflashed to my custom Rom and restored my backup and I was already signed in with no issues. If you really need to sign in to get full function of an app it works but it is a pain. Just thought I'd share.

re: sure fix

This guide will get your phone back up and running properly

Follow the instructions below.

Easy and sure way fix your problem - Here is s step by step guide:

Download this pre-rooted Samsung Galaxy S3 T999 Jellybean v4.1.2 rom: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=22946563261203914

After downloading make a folder on your computer's desktop and unzip the

file using Winzip or 7zip so the .TAR file is in the new folder you just made.

Download and extract Odin into the same folder you made containing the TAR file

Here is the link for Odin: http://d-h.st/Q14

Download ODIN which is required for flashing the stock rooted firmware (a windows app)

Download the Odin Flash firmware for T999 Tmobile then copy it to the same folder as Odin

Run Odin by double clicking the Odin.exe within the same folder as the TAR file you extracted

Turn off your phone and boot into

DOWNLOAD MODE

(Volume Down + Home + Power Hold until phone powers up, then release and press Volume Up to enter Download Mode)

Once in Download Mode, connect the USB/Charger cable to the phone and plug into the USB port on your computer.

You should now see a COM** port listed toward the top-left of Odin (under ID:COM)

Click on the PDA button in the middle-right area of Odin.

Browse to and select the Firmware you downloaded (TAR file)

Make sure Auto-Reboot and F. Reset Time are the only options checked and that PDA is the only other thing checked.

TRIPLE CHECK your settings and that you have selected the correct firmware for your model phone and are using the correct options.

If you are using a laptop, make absolutely sure you are plugged in, or if on battery, that it is charged enough and will not go into sleep mode during flash.

Click Start to begin the flash. This will take a while, so be patient!

Once complete, in the top-left box in Odin, it will say PASS and the phone should have automatically rebooted.

You may unplug the phone and close Odin if you wish.

Wait at least 5-10 minutes for the system to boot the first time and then build its cache!

(It may seem to hang during boot, this is normal and you must be patient!!!)

Good Luck!

Hi All,

Currently i'm on LiquidSmooth (2.2 iirc) solely for the ability to fully customize the long-press action on my buttons. I'd love to try some more ROMs (nothing against Liquid, just like flashing ;p) but am simply not willing to give up this ability.

Any tips/apps/etc people can recommend to add this functionality? I poked around and didn't see anything, but feel free to troll me if i missed something obvious :p

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skyx26:
Hi guys, a friend of mine bough a brand new Samsung Galaxy SII from Amazon. It was unlocked and came with no warranty. For one month the phone work flawlessly, but then one day the phone's battery went discharged so my friend plug it to a wall charger and turn it on... that was the last day the phone worked fine. She didn't rooted, she didn't upgrade it, she didn't flash it, she didn't temper with it in ANY way.

When the phone turn on it did it in flight mode, no IMEI. She pass me the phone, and for the last 3 hours I've been reading about this problem with /EFS folder.

Now my concrete question is:

Is there some way to fix this???.

PLEASE, BEFORE YOU ANSWER READ THIS:

NO, the phone can't be sended to Samsung because it's and international phone with no warranty.

2. NO, the phone can't be sended back to original seller because it was bough 4 months ago.

3. NO, there is no backup of /EFS folder, because she didn't know about this /EFS folder corruption thing, but mostly because she didn't temper with the phone in any way, so PLEASE don't embarrass yourself suggesting to restore /EFS folder.

4. NO there is no .nv_data file, .nv_data.bak, nor nv_data.bak.md5, so NO I can't rename them to nv_data.bin or nv_data.bin.md5, so once again PLEASE don't embarrass yourself suggesting this...

5. NO, GSII_Repair doesn't work.

6. NO, turning off phone, removing SIM, turning on phone, wait until phone fully boots, turning off phone, re-insert SIM, and turning on phone DID NOT WORK.

7. NO, flashing a stock rom didn't work.

8. NO, flashing a new kernel didn't work.

9. NO, there is no backup of /EFS folder in SD Card...

10. NO, she/I can't turn phone back to carrier because it's an unlocked phone.

11. YES, I did try the SIM card in another phone, worked ok, so it's NOT a SIM card issue.

12. YES. I try with 3 more working SIM cards, none work with this phone, so YES it's a phone issue.

13. YES, I search the forum, actually I read the first 10 result pages, every post. No stright answer to solve this problem.

14. YES, I know Odia could (or could not...) fix this, but I want to leave it as a very last resource.

So far, the only 2 things that could work are this and this, but both will give me a generic IMEI, and that will bring troubles with the law when my friend try to sell this phone.

Any other suggestions?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Throw it in the bin. Yes, I'm serious given all the caveats you've put in your OP. What miracles are you expecting ? There aren't any.

The only ways this phone is getting fixed is by a Samsung authorised repairer, or by replacing the motherboard with a 2nd hand one (Which will mean the phone now has the IMEI of the phone the board came from).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] immortalneo:
Wow! U really wrapped up this case!

I do hope u have rooted the phone before u checked the contents of the EFS folder. I have seen some members report seeing an empty EFS folder when they haven't rooted. :)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] king_below_my_lord:
I am gonna suggest something that I have read here (which I personally find it ridiculous but since you're desperate...) some people have written posts regarding copying or backuping your current efs folder and then performing a delete operation to the original efs folder, also several others have said it's working for them, so you find these kind of posts and try their method since you got nothing to lose..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skyx26:
That only works when you have the .nv_data file. After you delete the /EFS folder and reboot phone, you need to rename .nv_data file to nv_data.bin... But as I did say before: I don't have the .nv_data file nor the nv_data.bak file sooooo, it wil NOT work.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] king_below_my_lord:
Hmm is that so? I never read those posts fully though since I recently read a guide where the OP was insisting that a stock rom flash and efs deletion worked for him(he had no backups) and he didn't do anything else like editing nv_data file, but as bungle was saying you have few options left, before converting it to a expensive media player.

Hello,

Got the same problem, no imei.

My phone was dead after a trip. I live in china and usually its pretty cheap to fix hardware here. So did I. For 100 Yuan they got my phone start again but from this point no imei any more... I complained returned it, but they couldnt do anything and i didnt want to give them more money to try more.

So i got a sgs2 totally useless...

My question is, i have a 2nd sgs2, i would like to know if there is a way to backup 100% a phone to replicate it to an other. (does the EFS can be transposed to an other phone or they are to be unique and fit exactly to one phone ?)

I tryed all kind of tutorial to restore it i never could.

Thank you all !
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
You can't transfer IMEI's from one device to another, an IMEI is a unique number which identifies a particular piece of hardware, and doing so is illegal in most countries (and not allowed to be discussed on XDA due to same). If you attempt to do it, you'll end up with two permanently blacklisted/unusable devices.

Basically you have two options:-

1) A Samsung service centre will be able to 're-write' the IMEI to the device, in most cases/countries you'll keep your existing IMEI. Like most repairs by Samsung service centres in most countries, this could be somewhat expensive. Many local mobile repair shops have similar equipment, and will possibly be able to do this more cheaply than a Samsung service centre.

2) You could replace the motherboard with a 2nd hand one sourced from a 'donor' phone, which you'd either replace yourself, or pay a local mobile repair shop to do it. In this case your IMEI will change to that of the phone which the board came from.

Another 'possible' option might be to purchase the equipment (that Samsung authorised repairers/others) used to re-write the IMEI. However, if you don't know what you're doing you can easily bork the phone to the point of requiring a motherboard replacement, plus you'll be left with an expensive piece of equipment you'll probably never use again.

If I were in your situation, I'd be going to a local mobile repair shop to have the IMEI re-written to the device, and if that wasn't possible for whatever reason, I'd be going option 2.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] digitalH:
Thank you soooo much for taking your time to answer completly to this question. It seems that i should try again and go to an other shop see if they can do something. At least i wont lose my time anymore trying to fix that myself.

I was thinking also of selling it to those kind of shop. Last time the guy who said he couldnt fix it was trying to buy it at 500 Yuan (60euro) I guess they will use the parts of my phone to fix others (or relaly fix the IMEI and sell it haha).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
No problem. Yeah, many local mobile repair shops would have the equipment to re-write the IMEI to the device, so see if the original shop can do this. Yes, selling it to them for parts is another option I guess, but as you say, they might just as easily end up repairing it & selling it for a fair bit more than they paid you for it.

BUT like the noob i am i decided to do an update via kies ( the phone is gingerbread .XWKI4 GT-I9100, 2.3.4 and rooted)

Yes this was a very bad mistake.... this put it back to the way it was NO IMEI number, etc . I tried the repair again last night and it did not work anyway i wrapped it and gave it the missus this morning and the tesco payas you go worked ??? It also showed IMEI number ????even though it was not there last night ???

I did not know about backup of the EFS but then again i bought it like this ???

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] addisbad@gmail.com:
Using the box

Or you can just get yourself one of those special boxes like the octopus box or the Z3x box and a UART cable which can help you write an IMEI. Yes, I know that writing an IMEI is illegal but then again what the hell! Illegal is awesome and its fun. Break the ****ing rules and rise against the authorities! that's what we, the lovers of linux,android and the open source community should do!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
So you trust someone who didn't have the presence of mind to do an EFS backup when they rooted their phone (I.E a n00b) to use an Octopus box without completely stuffing it up, do you ? I don't, which is why the advice is always to take it to someone who already has one/knows how to use it & pay them $30-$50 to fix it guaranteed.

I uninstalled the default drivers that were showing up in device manager and tried again. I tried beating my head against the wall for 30 minutes and came back tried again and to my shock it still didn't work.

I tried running the batch file as administrator and it says "Windows cannot find '.\drivers\dpinsst64.exe'. Make sure you typed the named correctly, and try again'. I went into the drivers folder and dpinsst64.exe is there.

i've seen quite a few people around the threads looking for just modems so figured i'd share. i'll try to keep the thread up to date as our new firmwares release. i'll look into making CWM for those that may want it to be flashable but for now

please follow these instructions

with Odin:

Extract the contents of 7zip/zip archive. Put it in your Odin folder. Do not try to extract files from the .tar.md5.

Run Odin 3.07.exe, and prepare Odin:

1. Check "auto-reboot", and uncheck all other options.

2. Click Phone and select the TAR.md5 you downloaded. Leave other fields empty.

3. Don't panic. Odin may freeze while it checks the MD5 signature of the TAR. This is normal.

* Put your device into Download Mode:

5. Power down fully and disconnect the USB cable.

6. Hold Volume Down + Home + Power.

7. You should now be at Download Mode. Connect your device and wait for it to be recognized.

8. Click Start in Odin.

9. Wait!

10. Device will auto reboot
