[airport724]

Unlike other cases posted previously...
All files in efs were deleted, including all hidden .bak files

Now, kies displayed my phone have a product code of XXXXXXXXX and a fake IMEI...

Is it possible to restore the nv_data.bin and other files??
Please help! Thanks....

Did you install sgs toolbox and used it's check product code function before you deleted your efs? If yes, there is still a chance. If no, there are currently no public fix available yet.

We are on the same boat, as what francis posted. No public fix yet but pretty sure there will be.. its just a matter of time.

the same thing happened to me yesterday when i flashed Cyanogenmod 7, got fake imei but everything worked just fine (call, data, market).
today i deleted everything from efs folder using Root Explorer then installed i9000XWJS5 then, surprise, i got my original imei back.
do not know how and do not know if it will work on you but it worth a try

The same thing happened to me.
If I dial *#06# no imei appears.
In order to use the phone everytime I boot up I have to give r/w permission to system folder. Otherwise it doesn't recognize the sim card.

It seems to me that that the device is not anymore able to recognize itself.
If I try to install CM or other AOSP rom I have status 7 error.
In Rom manager I have a window where I should select wich kind of device it is.
In fastweb installer there is a list of devices and I have to choose wich of them I am using.

I know that there is nothing to do with warranty. But is it possible to go back to a stage where it is possible to install AOSP rom?

Thanks

don't know it may work or not, but some custom roms make a backup of the efs folder on sdcard under /sdcard/backup/efs or /sdcard/backup/efs-XXX
(XXX= some numbers). you can try to restore it from there.

again don't know for sure...

I have checked, but there is no backup.
I know the only one to blame it's me.
Do you think that there is anyway to make possible installing AOSP rom?
