Hi All, I have a Problem. I have Ruined my Edge. Genius. :rolleyes:

I have some how (read: Messed about with incomplete ROMS) damaged/Repartitioned my EFS partition. I can boot into the device and I HAVE an EFS folder with files in it, but still an IMEI 3500000000000000000000 or similar as well as no signal.

I know Its stupid, even more so to not have a backup, so you don't need to remind me, but any ideas on rectifying this? I know some people have had to get a new Motherboard installed when the EFS partition is missing or empty, but mine is there. I'm hoping something can be done. Maybe a .PIT file? I dunno....

TO NOTE:

I HAVE tried Smartswitch. NO, It didn't work :laugh:

Any help would be Apprectiated
