I would love to post a log but the issue does not lie with that. Every time I install CM7 my nv_data.bin is corrupt. I can go back to stock and any other rom with no issues. So I tried to move the file over and I am getting no space left on device? Any ideas?
It's possible.
ls -l the nv_data.bin before cm7 and after. If the size is different, we'll have to figure out what is different between everyone else's efs and yours.
When you have cm7 installed, do a 'adb shell df' and tell me if /efs is full.
I just copied my original EFS folder to the one on CM7 and I can confirm I am working . Thinks for the idea about the size's there Brian as soon as I seen that I knew something wasn't right.
Remember you WILL need to use the efs-backup.zip and efs-restore.zip files in CWM to make sure that your efs files get restored properly on cm7 with the cm7 kernel.
I did this for the first time today. Worked as prescribed!
Just flash the backup zip before you heimdall the boot.img, and flash the recovery zip after pulling the battery after the heimdall. Then cwm installed cm7 after formating /system and doing a factory reset/wipe cache.
Thanks for these, FB!
i followed the OP and flashed CM7 but it keeps going to the blue CWM, i have flashed twiced already and still doing the samething
When I start from bml, I do the following:
- boot to recovery
- mount usb storage
- copy over efs-backup, efs-restore, and cm7 cwm zip files.
- flash fb's efs-backup zip
- power off phone
- use a usb jig to get dlmode
- heimdall flash --kernel boot.img
- after the phone reboots and you see the galaxy s screen pull the battery.
- boot to recovery and flash efs restore zip
- mounts & storage -> wipe /boot, /data, /cache, and /system... go back
- factory reset & wipe cache
- install the cm7 zip
Some of that may be my own extra paranoia, but that's how I roll. It always works for me (unless it's some experimental crap I'm not sure will boot or not )

M_T_M has helped to convinced me to stick around.
I'm gonna take two weeks off from hacking to get my life sorted out
and to clear my mind.
When I come back, my threads (heimdall, cm7, and kernel) will be
unlocked and updated.
Until then, I'll be hangin out in #teamnerd in case you guys need any help.
