Hi!
I had repair microUSB on my Captivate and then got Encryption Unsuccessful.
After EU I made repartition on sd card and flashed to Android 2.3 , and got that 3G and GPS doesn't work.
after I flashes Paranoid ROM, 3G GPS the same.
EDGE and WIFI working well.

What I can do to restore 3G , GPS ?

You most likely don't have the right APNs. Go look under Settings -> Mobile networks -> Access Point Names. And make sure they matches your carrier's APNs (which you can find with a quick google search).

Also consider looking at different modems. GPS is directly effected by the modem you are using and depending on your carrier that you're using the phone on it could potentially effect that too.

Regardless if you are using this phone on T-Mobile then you likely won't get 3G regardless of what you change on the phone unless you are lucky enough to be in an area where they have updated their service.

Anybody can make a backup efs and send me, please?
Actually doesn't work that way. Your efs folder is specific to your phone as it contains your IMEI. If you get from IMEI error, going back to stock KK4 is the solution. Once in there, you use a file explorer with root rights (like ES File Explorer or Root Explorer) to copy it somewhere safe. Then you can flash Corn kernel and get back on the ROM you wanna use.
