EFS FOLDER needed? maybe...

I rooted my phone, everything was fine running SpaceX Kernel until i started getting reboots. i flashed arters kernel and when my phone restarted from odin i got a message saying : This phone has been flashed with unauthorized software and is locked. the phone won't connect to the network. if i flash the stock firmware with stock kernel it won't boot for some reason. It only boots up with a rooted kernel but my baseband says unknown and my imei is null. if i flash darthstalker ROM i get the baseband back but imei is still null, i tried changing the imei and masking it with apps but no luck. people keep saying that my efs folder got corrupted... so i was gonna try copy somebody's folder to see if my phone connects to the network. that's where I'm at, this sucks and I'm desperate for help. by the way, right now I'm running stock COI5
Anything will be appreciated.

[Q]Recover Lost Whatsapp Message Folder

Hi, guys.

I recently cleaned wipe my android through philz recovery to install a new rom.
I'm using titanium backup to backup/restore all my apps. However, after the installation of new ROM.. while restoring my apps.. I notice that my Whatsapp (the only app) isn't backup to recent one..

It was supposed to perform a backup dated 11 OCT.. However, when I checked the backup folder only to find out the Whatsapp backup was dated 27 SEPT instead. Therefore, titanium backup did not backup my message between 28 SEPT - 11 OCT.

Is there any way for me to get my messages back within this missing dates?

I tried some android recovery tools just to realized most were "fake".

Hoping to get some solutions. Thanks in advance.

Missing (corrupted?) Download Folder

I have no idea how it happened but I no longer have a Download directory. I discovered it yesterday when I tried to download a file. ES says it can't be found.



ES would not let me create a new folder named "Download" but would let me create a differently named folder and rename that folder "Download" but when I click the "Download" shortcut in ES, I get the same message above. Then I notice there is a weird unknown file named "Download" but I apparently cannot do anything with it.



I tried a factory reset, reflashing the latest (complete) OTA, wiping cache and dalvik, all to no avail. I still have no Download folder. :confused:

Here's the "about" page if that helps.



Any assistance will be most appreciated.
