Since you've never rooted or used a custom ROM before I suggest starting with either mROM or MMuzzy's ROMs. They are close to stock but will get you to Android version 4.2.1
mROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1763823
MMuzzy: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762846
Remember to MAKE A NANDROID. After you use the toolkit to unlock, root, etc. boot into recovery and MAKE A BACKUP. Also, when you root/unlock it factory resets your phone, so anything not on the SD card that you want to keep, backup to your computer.
This is the thread which completely helped when I was new to rooting and all this stuff. No further help was needed. The methods are very well explained here.

From where I can get these drivers ???
I'm glad you're using fastboot.
Search for naked drivers.
Or use the guide in my Sig or stickied at the top of this forum.
Sorry, at work on mobile. No time to link.
Thanks guys ,
I have tried to use the toolkit software to get the drivers !! and I managed but still wont't work .

No. Need custom recovery and an unlocked phone to install the recovery.

1. use these drivers.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1379875
2. no you need custom recovery and unlcoked bootloader to flash roms
3. read one of these threads to understand more about rooting, and flashing roms so you dont mess up your phone

To the OP, use the search function (or Google) - it's all out there!!
To everyone else, don't spoon feed them - let them learn it for themselves. It's better, and more rewarding, then being told everything

agreed..
Dont rush the root
efrant and jubakuba have both written guides. I suggest not using the tool kit until you know how to use adb/fastboot.

That's what we're doing. You need to read the guides. Not skim. Read.
Hi am Vinod from india , i own a samsung galaxy nexus i9250 ( GSM Unlocked and Rooted) . Am a regular flasher of new Roms in my device and try to experiment new things .
Things you should not do and What i have done :
1, Format Factory using CWM .:crying: ( Quite now remember that one contributor mentioned in the development section that format factory using CWM leads to mess up the Baseband and IMEI [did before read that post ] ) .
Things you should do and How to Restore your IMEI and BASEBAND :
1. Ultimate Solution is BACKUP your rom before doing anything silly or flashing hard (I did and it made my device to get back to normal )
IF NOT atleast Backup your EFS :
1. Using this Tool Bacup your EFS and save it in safe place(Cloud :victory: )
EFS Why ? EFS is the one most important in any device ., if people flashing hard(back to back) or formating factory will lead to corrupt your factory folder .so its the better and best ever thing to backup and save it . You can restore factory folder using the same application :laugh: .
The above method are temporary fix can someone guide me or share the link for permanent fix ?
PS : Dont scold me if this been answered many a times but unfortunately am not able to find any one :crying: (my bad) .

try flashing your official firmware through Odin. other users solve their imei problem by doing that. see also if you can access engineering mode with that official firmware.

lets wait for others specially those who are expert in android for some advice. I'm just an ordinary security guard so i can't help you much with your problem. what i have suggested you from my previous post was the last thing I did when my phone finally worked. for 4 days i been searching for solution because i also have an IMEI problem. i flash back to official rom, flash patched modem, flash other roms to no avail until such time when my phone doesn't boot because of broken partition :laugh:. if you still have warranty restore it back. if you're already out of warranty and you have money, you can it send it to service center.
P.S.
you can also try this if you have courage. i was able to make some secret codes work but i have'nt tried if it works with engineering mode by modifying hiddenmenu in /efs/carrier/hiddenmenu. use efs explorer to open hiddenmenu and change it to ON.save it and restart your phone and see if engineering mode work. remember that you have to be in official firmware and also rooted to do this. if its not working then you'll just have to wait for a much better solutions from devs.
Same question
I have the same problem, as owner of the thread. Any help?

Regarding the installation of the ROM stock, the problem is about something SAHARA .. etc. when i read about this error it is the OEM unlock .... when i wanted to unlock the bootloader i have a message : oem unlock is not allowed.

My mi 11 lite 4G has nv data corrupted
Can someone have fix this solution
Hi there, you really need to provide more info here. No one has a crystal ball and can just fortune tell a solution to a problem you haven't described at all.
So please tell us:
What was the last working condition of your phone (which rom, fw, etc were you on? Was your bootloader unlocked? And so forth)
What did you do then?
What broke things?
What is the exact error message or behavior and where do you see it? (In twrp?)
If you take time and provide all this info, you have a realistic chance that someone (maybe me) can help you fix your issue.
All the best
hello. have a good time
first of all, pls get an infinty box and hydratool then try to repartition your gpt(test point or EDL mode) by infinity box and then try to unlock the bootloader and install stock rom .you see the nvram is be back to normal
