I'm downloading it now from sammobile,com. I hope it works.

I got another question:

I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 but my /efs partition is corrupted... How do I fix this?

Okay, thank you. It worked but I get an error: E:copy_dbdata_media:Can't mount /dbdata

Is this the best solution to this error?

I don't have a Samsung man my experience with them it is not very good. Good to hear that your S1 is back in bussiness. Try the fix you showed for your S3. And if you get that back be sure to back-up your stuff next time.
