Firstly, to uncle benny and rawat (from XDA) many thanks for the EFS backup and restore guides.
Anyhows, I'm back from the dead, pure terminal typing, no computer needed.
Crazy EFS wipe it was, no idea how it happened also, except I wiped batt stats right before it happened.
Now need to reflash everything back lol, as out of sheer desperation I rolled back to a previous, really old NAND backup running VR1.4. Lol.
Also, out of the same sheer desperation (and the fact I had NO decent back up phones AT ALL), I bought myself a nice 1 month old second hand Avaxx Nokia E6 lol.
It's a nice phone (SQ's better then our SGS2, and going back to a hw keyboard was nice too), but it's no replacement for my beloved Siie-Tan. Returning to Symbian (even though it's Anna), a single core 625mhz proc and 256mb RAM was like driving an Inspira around while your beloved M3 is being serviced.
I guess it's true, Symbian HAS fallen THAT far behind.
Good time to run up to VR 2.4.2 too lol, after putting it off for so long. Wipe wipe wipe.
Wah wipe batt stat can hilang EFS file. Now that is scary..
