I use a file called LT15i_LT18i_62_data 380m to 420m which actually gives you more internal memory. It must has the files I needed to format the data partition.

Click the link below, download the file then flash this with flashtool and it should give you back your data partition. It worked for me.

I don't thing anybody's gonna go for that. You'll have a lot of their info if they do that. You're probably gonna have to find an ruu and go stock, then root and make another backup. Besides nandroids are for girls and scared boys j/k

You should rather let us know which file you're missing so that someone may upload that for you. Like wikdNoob said, a Nandroid's got way too many personal files unless someone had made one at stock without even adding a Google account (next to impossible). Moreover, it's freaking huge and uploading would be hell of a pain. So again, which file?
well since i'm a scared girl i have my nandroid, i can upload it for you, but ofc only system, boot and recovery partitions... will post link whenever i upload it

[Q] "urgent" Restore IMEI method?

Hello,
I bought a broken screen T989 from ebay. I needed the motherboard from the device. However, upon receiving device, i swapped motherboards no problem. However, i have an "Unknown" imei and baseband number.
I know there is a way to restore the IMEI from scratch on my galaxy S III (T999) but i am not sure if that method will work on the SII (Also quite afraid to as it most likely may brick it)
Does anyone know the manual method for restoring it?
Also, google lead to a bunch of promissing looking threads about the I9100 (International version) but from what i have read the T989 uses a different partition for the EFS stuff.
Thanks everyone!!
Do you know the imei number by any chance?
Don't type it btw just answer yes or no lol

I got my T-989 fixed about 30 minutes after posting my question to you. I'm just not sure which one of the steps I took was the actual bullet. But I'll post what I did here in the same order.
1. Downloaded and put onto the phone's sd card these files for future flashing back to back. They are. the "efsfix.zip" file from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1611796. Also, this rom which comes with it's own modem. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1818305. That's it. Now maybe the trick is in the steps though?
So what I did was boot into clockworkmod recovery "latest one for this phone." Used the factory reset option. Next went to mount the phone to usb option so I could access the internal memory card's files and deleted them all. I had a suspicion that maybe there's something corrupt in the data files or whatever. Really this might be silly but whatever, I did it. I still had my 2 files from before on the external sd card so no worries. Next I unmounted and disconnected from the pc. Then cleared cache again, then cleared dalvic again (I do these two steps a lot when flashing stuff back to back). Then flashed the efsfix.zip. Then clear cach, dalvic again. Then flashed the rom shown above which installed everything in one swoop like kernel, modem, system files, ect. After that finished I cleared cache, dalvic one last time. Then let it reboot.
So, it boots normally but upon the first "What is your name" screen it loads with a funky keyboard. It's a lol factor. Apparently a goof of the rom that happens sometimes. Just skip it all or figure out how to choose the T9 by using the menu key. Anyway, after changing my keyboard from inside the working settings menu to the samsung one I realized that I was so distracted by the keyboard issue that I I was just now noticing that I had a working baseband and it was connected to the network (T-Mobile) again as usual. Problem solved. Now as a last precautionary step I reboot into recovery (clockwordmod) again and use the option to backup efs folder to external sd card just for good measure. Then finally make nandroid backup of the whole working rom as well. You could probably flash any rom you want after this though. Anyway, something in there made it work so I hope it might work for you too.

All hope lost after incorrect flash?

Hello everyone, firstly I'd like to apologize in advance if this has been answered before. I searched and could not find a resource to help me with my problem. Here goes, I recently purchased a SGH-T889 Galaxy Note II. I managed to unlock the device and popped in a AT&T sim card. All was well until I decided to flash the AT&T varient stock firmware on it and that's when everything went wrong. Odin failed at the very end of the flash and the phone would not boot. I flashed back to TMobile stock and the phone boots into the OS fine but now the IMEI is blank, the baseband is unknown, and it says there is no SIM inserted. I also noticed when the phone is connected via USB the internal storage is not accesible, says there is 0 space. After searching around and reading up a bit it seems I have screwed up my EFS partition. Being the extreme noob that I am unfortunately a backup was not made prior to flashing. Am I screwed? I've tried reflashing different versions of the stock but I still get the same results. Is it possible to use a EFS backup from a different phone and insert the IMEI from my phone? Any help will greatly be appreciated.
:crying:
(Please forgive me if you are an advanced user) Are you sure that you are following the step-by-step instructions for flashing that are available here on the forum? I have resolved many problems myself by reading from the list of steps as I flash rather than relying on memory.

Flashing to stock is not your problem. If you're booting you're fine. You will need to restore your imei now. There is a guide in development (edit I actually didn't find it when I just checked, but that guide above should work). I'm sure you realize this now, but never Odin something not made for your phone.

Thanks for the links. I don't have the phone on me at the moment but will give this a try and hopefully this will fix the issue. When this happened to you were you able to see any internal storage from your PC and or the phone itself? When I went into the storage area under settings it displayed how much space was being used by the apps but it also said 0 was available.

Oh believe me I've learned my lesson. I will never flash without making a full backup first and stay away from roms not made for the device. I hope I can get this fixed otherwise it will be a very expensive music player

I think you'll get it. If it's booting and showing life there's a way to fix it. It may just take a lot of work. When you get the phone check out that link above. It should fix you up.

The KindleFireFirstAide should either have those images, or have the ability to download and install them for you. Personally, I would just search the utility for those images, or search the script and find the address to which they are stored for downloading, and install them manually. Just be sure to get the right ones.
