Hello guys/gals
I made a huge mistake and i hope someone can help me out.I was using titanium backup and deleted some files by mistake.I believe one was the rom. When rebooting my device it boots then gets stuck on 4g screen.I have rooted my phone using unrevoked 3. When going into recovery i did a reset and finally i can get to my main screen but its blank.The only thing on top of the bar is the time,signal,gps icon and battery icon.I dont know where to download things and what flash means.
I know you guys are experts and i do greatly appreciate the help.By the way im a noob when it coms to rooting,roms,etc.So please put it in English easy way to fix.
Thanks in advance.If you can make it simple for me that would be better.
You can go to the app drawer and launch the market app. Download titanium backup from there. So long you didn't delete your backups, you should be able to restore your apps there. You will still need to manually set up your homescreens.
Get to duh choppa!

How can i access the market if no rom is on the phone.Its a blank screen.If i reboot using volume down and power i can see my sd card and there is titanium backup in there.Does nothing though.
You deleted your home launcher. Reinstall one via adb or flash zip. And next time do a nandroid before hand.

Thank you for helping. But again there is no screen.The only thing i can really do is go into recovery using the volume down button and pressing power.I really am stupid when it comes to how to flash,where to put it,adb shell. That is why i need kindergarten instructions. lol.
Shouldnt you just restore a nandroid..then go from there??

Assuming you didn't do a nandroid backup, you are going to need to reflash a rom. What rom you choose is up to you, but without holding the phone in hand, I cant really tell what you deleted. There are a number of things that could have done that. Also, for future reference, a rom is your entire operating system. You can't delete that from titanium backup, but you can delete many important components. Next time try the freeze function in titanium backup to see if removing that component breaks anything.
Did you try flashing the original rom over top of the one on the phone?
If you did a Nandroid before removing, then go into recovery and restore that backup.
What's your ROM?
Which Recovery are you using?
I done a noob thing!
Ok, so i like to think im fairly geeky and know what the hell im doing. but something tells me i fudged up pretty badly. I have Lg optimus T (LG P509) running rooted froyo (2.2). i flashed it to gingerbread 2.3 sometime ago but some errr lots of functions didnt work. i recovered back to stock 2.2. however i deleted and cleaned out my sdcard. heres the problem. LG had an open update via computer. and if its one thing i learned on these forums is to never recieve the OTA or loose root. I was hoping the OTA would be gingerbread 2.3. well it wasnt. it was froyo 2.2.2. and i lost root. i then rerooted using gingerbreak. yes 2.2.2 rooted. then used titanium backup to deleted stock apps and demo games. i somehow deleted my home funtion. on startup my screen is locked in android name. if i ever get pasted it i only have call options. my home button doesnt work. my LG updater on my computer wont reflash/reupdate/restore. in kindergarden terms is there anyway i can manually restore my phone to stock or any rom? and more importantly HOW????? sorry for the essay post
If you have a recovery go to that mount to your PC put a ROM on the root of your sd card and flash it that way make sure you wipe first hope that can help some what.

How imporant is it? ive been flashing roms back and forth aosp and touchwiz jb and i havent lost my imei should i back it up and if its actully necessary can someone kinda dumb it down a little so i could understand easily
Thank you!!
I would say.. if you can then you should back it up. Reason being.. it seems to be a lot easier than going through the process of putting it back onto your phone when it's missing. That being said, I have done the same thing and have not lost my imei. At the same time, I also know that there's a way to get it back so I do not worry about it. But, you could go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1801997and back it up. to me, it's only as important as you see fit. meaning.. if you think it's more work to fix it after it's gone then back it up now. if not then dont worry about it.
It's like insurance, you only miss it when you need it. It costs nothing to do it and is obnoxiously easy to do so.

I backed mine up right after rooting before I started flashing roms. It only took a few minutes and I've had to restore it once since then, and it was very easy. Back it up and keep it in a couple of places. I have a copy on my laptop and on a usb stick.

Thanks for responding were you as well on aokp 4.1.2 and on ktoonsez kernel while backing it up? do i just download the software and say backup easy as that?
Thank you!
Edit: downloaded software now i need to know how to get on diag mode do i just copy and paste it to a script runner on my phone??
Yes, when I lost it I was on AOKP. Instead of messing with dialog mode to get into the hidden menu, I restored a nandroid of stock that I made right after I rooted. If you have a stock backup, back up your current rom, restore your stock backup and do it that way if you're not comfortable with the dialog. You can then restore your current backup after you get your imei backed up or restored. Hopefully someone can help you out if you don't have a stock backup because I'm not familiar with the other way. Just read through the thread and look for the info you need.
First thing I did after rooting, restored imei twice now. There are a couple or roms that eat imei's and gps.

Thank you!
Hi, its my first time posting, I figured I wanted to sign up to XDA eventually so why not when I feel like I've completely ruined my phone... or at least internal sd card...
Basically I rooted my phone and was flashing the Jellybam rom, and everything was going smoothly until I got to the bootloader and my phone started bootlooping. My first thought was 'Oh but I have a backup'. So I went to my backup in CWM and to my dismay I got an error saying "No files were found."
I could clearly see my files from exploring around on my sd card however they were now in a file called '0' and CWM could not read them from there. Without a working ROM I started to panic. However I had a zip of CM10 still on my internal sd card so I flashed that and (luckily) it worked.
Not really being too competent with flashing new ROMs yet I was quite happy that I had anything. So I used titanium backup to reinstall my old apps and data. However once they were installed I now get an error with 'the process android.process.media has stopped'.
I'm guessing this has do do with the fact that I have all my files still on the '0' folder. All the other folders from the '0' folder were the same except they were all empty, soooooo I decided to delete them. At this point I'm guessing that was a really bad idea because my initial plan of moving all the files from '0' to my pc then back to my phone, I did not think about the fact that I would be moving 14 Gb of data...
So basically now I'm hoping if someone knows a way to revert my phone to 4.1.2 by somehow moving all the files from '0' back onto the internal storage (basically getting rid of this '0') folder. The CM10 ROM is a 4.1.2 ROM so its not like I'm fudging up my phone further (I hope).
If you could be as detailed as possible as to what to do that would be great, because I'm really really new to this....
From what I've read I've heard a couple of suggestions:
1. updating the recovery.img of CWM will work? How exactly do I do this?
2. opening abd shell recovery and moving the files like that (however I deleted all the other files in the internal storage apart from '0' because that was where all the data was stored and everything else was empty...'
help. :crying:

1- Your solution
2- Was quite the bad idea to delete it all so this solution won't work now.
clockwordmod.com is where you'll find the latest recovery.

So how exactly do I do that? I just download the the latest clockwork mod and flash it? Why can't it be updated via an automatic updater? And what will it do to the file or will it change clockwork mod so that it will scan the entire sd card?
Also if I just remade folders identical to the ones I deleted, will that still work?
I'm just trying to get my phone to be as functional as it was before this all started.
Thanks for replying btw!

That's a lot of question for the simple fix I gave you.. I haven't used cwm in a while so Idk what changed in the update but if people said it fixed it, then it did..
0, 1, 2, etc.. Is something that came with JB, it's for the different users. Not much can be done about it.
About how you should do that: Go on their website, FOLLOW their instructions to a T, Enjoy.
As for why it can be updated via an automatic updater.. Well I'm not the person you should ask.

Sorry for all the questions, I'm just worried that I messed up my phone. Would you know if I were able to be able to access my old clockwork mod backups and used one of them, would it put my 0 files back into the internal storage like they used to? Or would it only revert the settings and I would still be SOL.

Yes, that's the whole point of the cwm update. Now to flash it!
Or, go digg through the cm nightly thread. They had a flash able zip that would restore your internal sd after downgrading Android versions.

the cm nightly thread? So theres a zip that would make 4.2 go back to 4.1?
Okay update:
I managed to flash update the new version of CWM... still can't use backup... I get a /system fail
It doesn't downgrade you're ROM. It fixes the 0 folder issue

Sent from the scary door....
So I was got my s3 awhile back and rooted it and ran Clean bean without any problems, well after those annoying system update messages started to get to me I decided I wanted to try and new rom and update my phone a bit as I would be leaving the country and wanted my phone updated. So I decided to flash slimbeam , It went off without a hitch. Only problem was I could not figure out how to get Titanium backup to restore all my contacts and app data. I saved all the backup files on my computer and even after putting them in the Titanium backup directory it would not let me do it. Anyway.....I decided to try and use the titanium backup program that lets you extract the data from a nandroid backup and flash it in recovery. I forgot to put it on my internal card when doing so and when I did my wipe I deleted it (epic facepalm) so I have to reflash cleanbean go back into my phone and make the .zip file to flash...
So I got tired and went to bed before flashing anything else, when I wake up. My phone is stuck on the samsung boot image screen. I try starting only to get the same thing. So I boot to CWS recovery and try to restore one of my nandroid backups. I accidentally hit backup to external sd and it started to run a backup, thenn my car charger came unplugged and the phone died....thinking it would just make that specific nandroid corrupt I thought nothing of it. So I reboot to CWS recovery again and actually try to do a restore with my oldest nandroid, But I get the error "Error updating /system" and error updating "/data".....I tried multiple backups that I have, none of them work and all produce that message.. 'm fairly new to this, What Am I doing wrong? I really love this site and all you guys do and I will be forever greatful of any help you guys can give me. I leave the country for Mexico in 2 days and I cant afford to pay the $150 to get my phone warrantied from sprint!
Thanks in advance, and sorry for spelling/grammar mistakes (at work, not suppose to be on here)

Ok Lucid, stay calm.
First off, never do any work in Recovery without a fully charged phone. You're just asking for trouble if you're relying on the cable being plugged in.
I've never had good luck with trying to restore data in TiBu from a nandroid backup.
I'm not going to go into how to make your backups work. I'm honestly more concerned with just getting your phone back into working order. This thread has the most current Stock Rom in TAR form. Odin instructions can be found in this post within that thread.
After you're back to 100% stock, unrooted, you can follow the rooting guide to gain root back.
THANKS

Do what he said, I can vouch that restoring data through tibu from a nandroid has never worked for me either. If you backed up your contacts with Google you can just export them into a file (either .csv or .xml i forget) and then import that into your contacts

Here is a link to a post where I talked about Tianium Backup and what not to restore. It should be fairly informative.
In TiBu for SMS and call logs hit menu from the main screen and backup data as XML, select save locally when it's done. Move the xml files to external SD if you're gonna flash a 4.2.2 rom, flash new rom move the xmls back to internal, go to tibu, same menu, restore from xml and select which one you want to restore. It'll open a quasi file explorer, locate the corresponding xml for the option you chose(call log, SMS, wifi, bookmarks) and select it. It will restore the data via XML and you'll have all your call logs, sms, bookmarks and wifi accesspoints back like you never left your previous rom.

I like to break stuff!
So my friends Boss' son tried to be all "l33t h4x3r" and mess with his S6(sm-g920p). First he ruined his EFS section of the phone, the Baseband is Unknown, no IMEI number, Software Version is Unknown, and his radio wasn't working. I think he then tried to do some crazy **** in ODIN, "No Clue he doesn't remember". Well i've never ran into a constant reboot issue with any Android phones i've owned. I've had bootloops but this is throwing me for a loop. I've tried:
Loading TWRP wiping everything and trying a Custom ROM
Using Odin to Recover back to Stock
Honestly im not sure whats up anymore or if his phone is even fixable at this time.

Hi, you certainly have a challenge there. It sounds like you need to restore both the partitions and the stock OS.
If the phone is a 32 GB model, please see the whole thread at http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-galaxy-s6/help/operating-smg920p-t3263325
There is a PIT file linked at post 16, instructions for using it at post 22. Also a link for the latest stock TAR file.
Again, this would be for 32 GB model, but you want to flash first the PIT and then the TAR.
I think I may have done that already too but I'll look again once in home and see if maybe I did it in the wrong order. Thanks for the quick reply friend. ?
Well i did as instructed but Baseband is still unknown and it is still rebooting over and over :/

If he messed up the efs partition, like it's empty, without a backup. I'm pretty sure the phone is done.

I recommend he brings it to Sprint, after they "diagnose" it and declear its broken they should be able to replace it. Just make sure its as close to stock as possible that way it does not seem rooted.

That is about the only option left. There are other options to restore the efs (pretty much rebuild it from scratch) but that is not something an every day user can do. I had an efs issue on my S4. I was tinkering with things I shouldn't have, forget exactly what I was doing, it was on T-Mobile so I think I was trying to remove the data cap (was on prepaid). Was pretty much in the same boat as OP but was able to completely from scratch rebuild the stuff that belongs in the efs directory. Some stuff I never restored but didn't seem to affect the device.

This was many many years ago. What saved me was the fact that Notepad++ keeps a copy of the file you have open even when you close the program. I just had to remember what things needed to be reverted back and the edits undone. I guess I didn't really rebuild it from scratch lol.

Yeah sadly I have no idea how the efs is populated. The second instance I get a new phone, dd is done on the efs partition and created into a .img file.

So my friends Boss' son tried to be all "l33t h4x3r" and mess with his S6(sm-g920p). First he ruined his EFS section of the phone, the Baseband is Unknown, no IMEI number, Software Version is Unknown, and his radio wasn't working. I think he then tried to do some crazy **** in ODIN, "No Clue he doesn't remember". Well i've never ran into a constant reboot issue with any Android phones i've owned. I've had bootloops but this is throwing me for a loop. I've tried:
Loading TWRP wiping everything and trying a Custom ROM
Using Odin to Recover back to Stock
Honestly im not sure whats up anymore or if his phone is even fixable at this time.

Koop's firmware didn't work with my phone either. This version of it fixed mine for some reason. Try flashing it to yours

Now i got same issue i accidently restored efs and ah man ive tried every thing it reboots after 2 or 3 mins no matter what rom back up i have and i have efs and radio with all my back ups ive restored it also no luck. Guess im going to the sprint store tomorrow even after i flashed stock 6.0.1 i can get to about half way through wifi setup before it reboots no matter what 2-3 minutes phone reboots unless in twrp
Still no luck becareful and dont try to restore efs i suppose in twrp. Your phone may never stop rebooting ive flashed 2 different 6.0.1 builds one was the revo other was from sammobil both @koop1955 has them PB6 6.0.1 odin doesnt fix this.
YOYOYO
Well wtf or omg it completely died left it for a day. Now its working so far it hasnt rebooted in 30 mins LOL but dude sucks going to a phone with kitkat after using marshmallow and one of the fastest phones made for awhile. I did pull the sim card out and try it in a old boost maybe that reset something idk its working though.My problems were Rebooting constantly after 2-3 mins no matter what rom i had even stock.

Backed up my EFS before ever even rooting. Stuck that bad boy in Dropbox for safety. *pats self on back*
Last one of these topics I seen, end result was JTAG.

BEcareful if u restore that efs. i backed up too but once in twrp. Now all i did was check restore efs by accident just tried restoring a renegade rom system,boot, and data. Tell you what i wont be rushing through crap and am fine with stock for awhile. Probably will still take the replacement when it comes its white the black one i got is too blue.

I've got a raw partition backup as well as one through TWRP. If you check md5/sha hashes for data integrity, and only install software instances specific to your device, aside from manually monkeyin around
Hey needless to say im researching full partition backups did you use a app by wanam partitions back up and restore? Or just simple adb commands. Last used adb on a moto e 2nd with success on unlocking. Once i got a new harddrive haven't needed it.

Theres similar issues happening on sprint note 5s as well and has a couple threads currently speaking about this problem. Strange strange. It happened to me after updating to mm and then rooting.
Well i did try the note rom right before and when i did hit restore efs it after wiping system data boot from moar MM rom phone rebooted for days then after few resets and odin flashes i let it die then a day later it worked.
Correct but have always preferred the 925p roms.
Well i helped another with the rebooting issue on any rom.
He tried everything then but let it die after battery died plug it in and bingo his worked to
IF CONSTANT REBOOTING.
LET THE BATTERY COMPLETLY DRAIN.
AFTER FLASHING STOCK.
