Major issue running along the lines of a few other threads I've been reading on here. I'm currently with 3 in the UK.
Phone has been working great for almost 2 years, decided to install one of the custom ROM's with KitKat 4.4.2, I was previously running 4.3. At around 8-8.30 am yesterday morning my signal suddenly disappeared. I rebooted, took out battey and sim card, left it off for a few hours but no joy, noticed I had a generic IMEI number. Managed to restore a nandroid backup I had from last year and all was well again, it was a custom rom v 4.1.2 so I tried again to update to KK 4.4.2 but same issue, no signal with generic IMEI. I then tried a different nandroid backup I had but somehow this completely scrubbed my phone. When I eventually got it up and running it was back to stock and all my folders etc have been wiped. I do have a nandroid backup on my PC and I copied it to the root of my phone but when I try and do a restore it says no files found, reading elsewhere and going off the top of my head it says it has to go to /Data/Media/Clockworkmod but I don't have a Data folder, is there anyway to get this nandroid to work?
TIA

The data folder is on the ROOT of your sd card. Not in the normal storage location. The location you posted is correct but you missed one more directory. It is /data/media/clockworkmod/backup/

I am using Pays-Rom v 1.9 but since 2.0 is out now i've been trying to upgrade. I made a number of android backups dating from 23/08/2010 up to today. I've successfully flashed the updated ROM but I was getting a google talk authentication error so I tried to revert to my most recent backup (yesterday - 27th). However once clockworkmod said it had been restored, my phone wouldn't boot past the white screen with the HTC logo.
Here's the thing, I tried an older backup from the 23rd and that worked so I was using it since yesterday as I thought I'd leave sorting out the update until today. But now when I flash the new rom it bootloops at Pays-Rom boot screen, and if I restore any nandroid backup later than the 23rd it doesn't boot past HTC logo.
I can always go back to the nandroid backup from the 23rd but I would like to update the ROM. Any Ideas why this is happening?
N.b. I've wiped data before every flash, and I've flashed w/o sim card everytime (this is what I did the very first time I rooted last week, I heard orange simlocks if you don't)
I'm considering trying a different ROM but idk so

This is purely a guess, but your SD card me be corrupt and that is causing the nandroid restore to become corrupted too. I'd try a new rom and repartition the card.
yeah I've tried other ROMs and they install fine so I think I'll just switch. Does anyone know the most efficient way to backup and restore all apps, sms, and contacts?
I've been using Titanium which is good but I've been having problems with it backing up my sms data, also I have to manually accept every app to install
Hi, here's the story.. N7100
First i was on leaked Android 4.3 MI6.
Then i flashed unofficial CM10.2 with TWRP recovery.
Then i flashed Unofficial CM 11 with TWRP.
Then i found SupremeBean ROM, i downloaded it.
Then i backed up EFS from TWRP Recovery (i backed efs on cm10.2or 11 im not sure on which one i backed up efs)
Then i flashed SupremeBean ROM. The phone booted up, i went through setup wizard, then i found out WIFI isnt working, whenever i press the wifi switch, i just turns off by itself, but bluetooth and network were working normal.
So i thought to myself, the efs has been damaged, which caused the wifi problem, so i went to TWRP recovery and i went to RESTORE tab, and i restored the efs i backed up.
I thought it would work, but sadly it made things worse.. Bluetooth and Network are no longer working, IMEI is 499 something.. And at the same time, i dont know, my laptop just stopped charging.. And the battery is empty, something with the charger..
Any help? SupremeBean changed my baseband to MJ9. I tried flashing CMs but still nothing changed. Need help please, im really upset..
Wow it has been a long 24 hours. I want to go ahead and appoligize,...I have a really bad memory. Sunday I went from Task650 AOKP (Android 4.3) to Validus 4.1 (Android 4.4.2) . I cleaned everything before flashing and then installed the supersu and gapps as stated in the op. Yesterday I found out I had a wifi problem, not sure if I was able to connect before or not. from this point until I try back to stock i get a popup stating that media has stopped or media storage has stopped and it happens progressively more often as time goes on. I tried dirty flash and it didnt work so i thought i would try a new kernel. I had never tried flashing kernels before but i read up on it and seemed very simple. so I flashed Ktoonsez KT747 kernel, i also flashed EMJB modem to see if there was a difference. afterward when i looked in settings - about phone under kernel version it said (not exactly but best i can remember) 3.4.77-cyanogenmod .... dirty KT747. i couldnt find anything about this but i didnt think this was good. i dont remember if i tried reflashing or doing anything to fix it right then or not. but at some point late yesterday after a reboot my lockscreen was transparent (might have been before), background was black, status bar was gone, when i recieved a call there was no popup it would just ring but i could go in to phone and it said return to current call but i couldnt do anything to answer. I could call backthough. i did still have notification on the lockscreen. xposed fimware was also disabled so i figured that ruled out any issued from it. I was getting aggrivated. i read up a little more. read suggestions to flash back to stock periodically. I figured i should try that. BIG MISTAKE!!! I still dont know why it didnt work but i tried plenty! before flashing the EMJB modem I had DLK3. so i thought that meant i would be ok to return to stock because i never upgraded my bootloader. when i flashed it with odin it went all the way through and restarted the phone but got stuck on samsung logo after at&t splash screen. so i odin flashed cwm booted into recovery and restored a nandroid backup (life saver!!). this worked and i was back on AOKP with DLK3 modem but not satisfied and feeling a little safe to explore knowing that i had a safe return plan unless something went detrimentally wrong. so with my modem saying DLK3 and my rom on 4.3 instead of 4.4 i decided to try back to stock again and use the true stock instead of rooted stock. (WORSE MISTAKE!!) ODIN failed. my heart dropped i was terrified. I decided to download and try KIES but it wouldnt connect to the phone after downloading the firmware. I tried odin flashing root stock again and if finished and stuck on samsung again. so i flashed cwm and sideloaded Validus to get back to 4.4.2. seems to be working good but now to get to the issue. ater i got it back working i got a notification that sdcard was removed unexpectedly. before anyone directs me to one of the hundred threads with this title my issue is with internal storage not the external sd card. i have seached it quite a bit but i cant find anything like my situation. it seems that if i go to /storage/sdcard0 it is empty but i can access it from any of the following locations and its not empty.
/storage/emulated/0
/storage/emulated/legacy
/sdcard
/mnt/sdcard
I do not understand this.
Anyone that has any helpful information thank you in advance.
update : it happened again today. my phone died during the night and when I turned it on just now it popped up the notification SD card removed unexpectedly except it popped up and went away really fast like 10 times. still the only thing missing is storage/sdcard0

Hey all,
Before I'm gonna get into this problem I'm having, I spent the past 3-4 hours using multiple methods - but no success.
Chain of events:
1. Installed DN3_v5+ ROM from DN3_v3.1.1
2. Installation went fine, Wifi works, no FC, but no network. *#06# dialer code shows null/null.
Alright, no worries - I took a backup of the Efs folder in the past, I have one in a tar.gz format, and in the past I even just copied the efs folder via the root explorer app(the permissions would have been messed up anyway).
So I tried restoring it, but it still didn't fix the problem (even after restarting it). I then tried to install a new modem(XXDME4 & LK8) to fix the efs and it didn't help either. I then reverted to an older rom i had on the SD (CleanRom Att SE 3.0) and same problem, then i went back on the DN3 v3.1.1 and same problem), currently I'm back on the Dn3 v5 rom.
I also have the IMEI number written down, if that helps.
What should I do? Any help is really appreciated!

Sounds like you flashed an N7100 rom. Which is a no no. Ditto note v5 is not yet ready for this phone, they are currently on beta v4 for this phone.
Simply odin back the stock rom to bring back baseband.
Then your set.

Thanks for the help man! So that's why it messed up, I ended up downloading a stock rom yesterday and flashing it today morning and it ended up restoring the imei.
Gonna leave a reference to this thread from here (set of stock roms)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2004650
Had this M8 for a few months now after bringing it back from a bad software install by another user (here http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/m8-qhsusbbulk-rebooting-t3437240), was on a stock rom up until 2 weeks ago (restored from a nandroid backup provided by user on xda) until all apps seemed to force close constantly, I also could not connect to any mobile network, kept complaining of no sim card, no imei and unknown baseband. Tried a reset and a restore from the nandroid backup, neither of these worked, the phone would turn on and would get to the HTC boot screen then black screen continually, no amount of restore or reset fixed it, I also formatted and repaired the file system a few times, again made no difference.
Ended up going on to a custom rom which has worked for about 2 weeks up until today, again being presented with force closes in apps and the mobile network again will not work, complains of no sim card as before.
I'm thinking the nand (where the actual system and data partitions are) is basically dying and is not working correctly, anyone experienced similar?
Reflash of firmware via fastboot oem rebootRUU and another restore of a stock rom via twrp has fixed it once again, still clueless on why this randomly continues to happen
