Hello XDA,
I created a simple backup-script for the efs-partition of the GT-I9082
Instructions
1. Download the .zip file
2. Extract it
3. Open terminal and "cd" to the directory, where you extracted it.
4. type
Code:
./efs_backup.sh
if you got "rm failed for /sdcard/efs_tmp.img, No such file or directory", just ignore it
5. You can now find a file named "efs_backup_cwm.zip", you can flash it with cwm to restore your efs-partition
Why should I do that?
That's a simple question: Every Rom you flash and every root-app you use could have a simple bug and override/delete your efs-partition
What is the efs-partition?
It's a partition, wich is needed for any device-specific number like IMEI, Wlan-MAC-adress and so on. If it gets deleted/damaged, your mobile
will nothing more than a Mp3-player, unless you can flash back your old efs-partition.
Can you release it for Windows?
No, because I think every android-user should have linux installed on their pc and it doesn't cost anything. I have a dual-boot, too. If you want it on Windows, feel free to port it, it
won't be hard. If you want to install linux, I suggest you a debian-based distribution, because there will be the best support for android.
I WILL NOT ANSWER TO STUPID QUESTIONS!
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE ON YOUR DEVICE!
Thanks bro, it works fine with me

Did you try CWM or sgs kernel flasher which sends you to CWM?
ODIN only does .tar/md5 files.....if its a zip file 99% chance its CWM......
no i didnt wasnt sure which one to use. thanks
do i unzip the file first or cwm does it for me?
CWM does it, theres in option that says install zip from sdcard, then choose the zip from sdcard

I know you got your answer, but if you had spent some time reading the Andromeda threads in Q&A (a sticky) and Dev you would have gotten your answer easily. This should have been posted in the sticky. That's what it is here for. Please use it before starting a new thread in the future.

Somebody help me!
I attempted to install Ubuntu 11.04 onto a separe partition on my MacBook 6.1.
It apparently screwed with EFI, and now, whenever I boot, I need to do the boot sequence 5 times to get into any OS.
I have to power the mac on & off 5 times...
During the first bootup, the Sleep LED will begin to flash rapidly, and then I'll hear a long beep, then a black screen.
Has anybody experienced this? Somebody help. I can't afford a new Logicboard.

The confusing parts are terminal commands that they want you to execute.

You sure that the ROM is in a .rar file? Maybe you have the wrong file, because I think this link for the ROM and it isn't compressed in a .rar file, it's on a normal .zip.
The link you post is for another version of the rom.
The final edition is in a .rar file... http://www.mediafire.com/?96lczfm20959kgn

Extract that .rar file to your computer,you will get 3-4 files in that. Some are for ics layouts and 1 is for file manager.apk.

If you're on stock ROM you'll have to flash this first

Otherwise it won't work with zipped boot animations.

No. It will just replace a few files in system to make it work with zipped animations instead.
You need a custom recovery, like cwm or twrp to flash it.

Do we still need to bump .img everything we compile a new one and try to flash it with twrp?

I don't think bump is open for business any more so all we have right now are .img's that are already bumped.
