It may not be as important a partition as on other devices. DON`T GET ME WRONG....nv_data.bin and nv_data.bin.md5 are VERY IMPORTANT FILES. It`s the location that might be different on the Nexus S. For instance on my device my /EFS is completly fracked. Yet I still have my proper IMEI. Why you may ask? Well it seems on the Nexus S the main location for the nv_data.bin and .bin.md5 is in the /data/radio location. So what if any is the point of the /EFS? Does anyone know? Can I format the sucker? Also can I please have my post I posted in the Q/A stickied? Since I belive we are just on the cusp of having many more users loose their IMEI to generic since some ROM cookers can damage the nv_data.bin file (Like mine was) http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=38288551
