Okay I have it :D

It has IMEI and Android sub folders within it with other files as well. What do I restore it? :P

Edit: I hope I needed to select back up and restore > backup because I accidently selected it. I have however copied the file "back up" on my laptop a couple of minutes ago before the massive **** up.

*Sigh* Sorry -_-
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
im confused as to what you have done lol

the nv_data.bin is what needs to be restored, use a app such as root explorer or similar

navigate to /system /efs ---> nv_data.bin <-- replace with the one on your sd card :D

reboot, Job done !!

I dont have 'ef' under systems :confused:

Should i just create one?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
my apologies. are you using root explorer or do you use another app

if using root explorer its just there on the first page, not under any / subfolder
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shizer:
Ah, I'm blind.

I've done everything and nothing. Didn't work :(

Everything in the ef folder hasn't been modified since I last rooted and installed the Miui rom.

[LG Optimus 2x] illphone:
I am trying to access the light sensor on the Optimus 2x from the Android API, but to no avail.

Can anyone confirm that one cannot access the sensor? The sensor API call lists all kinds of sensors in the 2x, compass, accelerometerm, etc but the light sensor, which at least COULD be accessed by the API is not available or listed.

Thanks!
[LG Optimus 2x] extreme79:
I think you need to ask in the developer section.. :)

You might want to check with @cm_arcee on Twitter, I think there is something odd about the 2X's light sensor.

[Gen8 General] laurent2o1o:
Hello :)

I made up a (very quick!) poll in order to estimate the statistics of the firmware issues and to try to link them to probable causes.

It only requires 20 seconds of your time so please consider answering even if you do not experience any issue.

Although the poll focus on 2.3.26 / 2.3.20 firmwares identified issues, answers for previous firmwares are very valuable to evaluate their origins.

Answer the poll ! (no thanks, but show me the raw results )

There is also a french version available (more than 250 answers already) :

Répondre au sondage ! (no thanks, but show me the raw results for the french poll )

I promise I'll come back with analytical results when there is enough answers (stats by device, influence of the type of install or the presence of google hacks, ...)

Thanks for your time. I mean it.
[Gen8 General] Flix123:
I just fill up the poll.

It's a good idea, but how we can make Archos reading this?
[Gen8 General] laurent2o1o:
I'm not even sure they will eventually read it... But if they do (they definitely should), it may lead them to the origins of the identified bugs (and see that nearly 60% of users suffer from at least one of them ...)

Anyway, thanks for your contribution!
[Gen8 General] big ach:
Just answered it, thanks for taking the time to do this, lets hope Archos actually reads it.
[Gen8 General] Lenn:
Arctablet has do this too, u with no results yet..

i hope this would be more effective:)
[Gen8 General] laurent2o1o:
The arctablet poll was for firmware 2.1.08 if I remember well and I can not tell for sure that archos devs efforts were influenced by it or not. Some 2.3.20 changelog entries seem to confirm that it might have.

Anyway, I have found out (like others did) that some bugs could be linked to probable causes (e.g. reboots loops / WiFi). This can be statistically confirmed and provide a strong hint for the dev team.

Also, nearly 60% of the pollers suffer from one of these bugs. This is a statistical proof that we're not talking about isolated cases and that something should be done.

Now I understand that archos business model require that all efforts must be focused on the Gen9. I'm just hoping that, when they'll come back to support tasks for Gen8, this poll will help them concentrate on the real troubles.

Thanks for your vote ;)
[Gen8 General] laurent2o1o:
Poll analytical results

Issues rate for firmware 2.3.26

Issues rate for firmware 2.3.20

Issues rate for older firmware

Influence of type of install and / or google hacks on Issues rate

Discussion

- Overall error rate is very high (around 60%) but we should keep in mind that people that suffer from errors tend to take more the poll than others.

- There's not much differences between french and english polls.

- 32IT never reboot in loops (caution, very few results)

- 2.3.20 / 2.3.26 firmware show much more issues than older firmwares

- No noticeable change in issue statistics with fresh install (reinit)

- No noticeable change in issue statistics with Market hack (caution : few results)

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meistarkus:
Hey guys!

My problem is, as u can see in the title, sometimes after switching my phone on, it simply gets stuck after the Samsung Omnia logo... After the logo comes a totally red screen and nothing more happens... It stucks... When I push the windows button, the other to buttons light but that's it... The only way I get it pass the red screen is to disassemble the battery wait 10 sec and put it in again... Can anyone help? Or is there anyone having the same problem?

Thx for the replies! :)
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MichelLoyen:
This is a common issue if you apply the 32bit display hack. In most cases you have to reboot the phone 1 or 2 times and then it works fine again. The alternatives are to remove the 32bit hack and/or to wait for mango (this problem will be adressed in the mango update).
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meistarkus:
Thx! Problem solved :) think I'm gonna wait for mango ;)
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MichelLoyen:

[EVO 4G General] phatmanxxl:

[EVO 4G General] mkeena0305:
sprint has no need to throttle. Nobody could ever exceed any data caps on their 3g network.
[EVO 4G General] NewZJ:
I won't even try to exceed unlimited, sounds like it might be hard
[EVO 4G General] LexLuger82:
HA
[EVO 4G General] GuestX0011:
hah Sorry that was while i was In LA

In barstow. I get about .09 down and .3 up even at 2 am....

So yea... i shoudl switch my sig butttt ^.^

So yea anyone ever notice that when we have really slow 3G speeds we say oh wth is wrong. What if nothing is wrong. Adn the reason why sprint isnt saying anything is that maybe they are throttling damn near everyone. Just a thought guys/girls men/women/cave thingy
[EVO 4G General] iitreatedii:
easiest proof for you, go to an airave which guarantees you full signal, not your mom going oh look joshua baby, we have good signal, anyway you will get 2.3 down on 3g, sprint doesn't throttle...smh you just have bad reception in your area, its the same thing with every carrier, some in the same areas and some in different. no carrier is perfect. so no, sprint does not throttle, there is no midget in the tower "hitting the switch".
[EVO 4G General] mutepoint:
Being seriously over capacity everywhere because of infrastructure neglect (or failure to properly anticipate growth and demand) has the same effect on the end user. Hence the hostility when presented with a "we don't limit our junk ad".

I get avg .5 to .7 down where I live, but I stay on WiFi at home/work. There is no 4G anywhere close to SW Florida where I live, so I have always thought of my phone as an "EVO WiFi".

I'll never drop Sprint - but my next phone might be a clamshell, with a WiFi only tablet for web access.

Edit: OK, I probably would have Sprint on the tablet too... just in case... ever the optimist ;-)
[EVO 4G General] tmwilsoniv:
While your logic appears sound, consider that the Airave provides something much more critical to connectivity than a strong signal. Not only does the Airave provides a very strong signal, it does so with a nearly perfect C.I.N.R. (carrier-to-interference-plus-noise-ratio). The C.I.N.R. is what determines the quality of the connection, not the signal strength.

Clear does not throttle Sprint-branded 4G.

Sprint-branded 4G devices operate on a "Sprint Only" permission set on Clear's network.

Sprint-branded 4G devices are not subject to Clear Wire's N.I.M.S. (Network Integrity Management System) protocol, also know as throttling.

Sprint doesn't throttle (yet).
[EVO 4G General] Mark_in_Tulsa:
Had a friend who is a telecommunications engineer, explain to me that when a tower is over worked, or even a city really, it will throttle each individual connection to "help spread the wealth" of bandwidth.

In example lets say a tower can put out 100 mb of bandwidth, and there are 50 phones connected to it, to prevent one guy getting 51MB and the other phones just getting 1MB each, the tower automatically throttles all the connections to a more even and consistent 2MB each.

(yes I know the numbers are not realistic or viable. Just giving an example)

So if he was right and this is true, it's not Sprint throttling individual people, it's them just trying to spread the wealth of speed more equally and consistent, when a tower is over worked.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
When people around here say "throttling" they mean:

"Severely limiting bandwidth after a user has used a preset amount of data for the month"

NOT network issues nor the inherent throttling that occurs in all connections. (To keep those connections stable)
[EVO 4G General] Mitch Matrixx:
MEH!

Sprint most certainly does throttle. While they may not have the need to in sparsely used areas, people in rural places are probably experiencing a combination of lousy coverage, and sub-par infrastructure.

People in suburban/urban areas etc. will notice their speed tests are awkwardly consistent. If the towers were crowded they wouldn't be consistent, they would be all over the place, spiking higher and lower, usually at different times of the day.

I can say for sure out here near Chicago, my speedtests always sit around 1mbps on a sense rom, and roughly .5mbps higher on CM7... Everytime, same location, in my house. Either that, or nobody in my area is using Sprint... Not very likely.

That is called throttling.

Other slow speeds should be attributed to crappy network. I've worked on lots of sprint sites, they are junk. Not maintained well, and very little Q.A. by their management. Poorly maintained.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
How many employees etc have to come here and tell you they don't before you get it?

Sprint does NOT throttle based on usage.

Furthermore if they did they would get slammed with lawsuits and their competition would slam them for lying.

It utterly amazes me how some people will submit their belief in something even when pure logic itself dictates it being incorrect.

You think (if sprint is lying) that everyone is just ignoring the lie?

Americans LOVE to sue and so do companies.

Lets stop fooling ourselves.

News regarding the coming firmware update for the O2X.

LG Denmark confirms that the update is ready by next week or next week again - that is week 23 or 24.

- "The update is imminent, and are ready in one to two weeks, " says LG's Danish mobile manager Morten Aagaard to Mobilsiden.dk.

He explains that the update is currently being tested on all operators' networks in Denmark to ensure that it works one hundred percent - the same testing is currently also being performed in other European countries. When the update is a joint European release it must be released simultaneously in all countries.

"Therefore it is hard to say when exactly the update comes. It's fair enough that people get angry, but the update must of course also just be working, "says Morten Aagaard.

[LG Optimus 2x] ppsun:
Here's a thought for LG, network operator's testing will only go so far to "break" the firmware.

IMHO, send the test firmware to the top 20 most chronic "battery pullers" on this forum. If they can all run it for a 2 weeks with no problems, it would certainly be a big improvement in stability.

The brick command is several android versions. I know at least back to Froyo had it, maybe even Eclair. But yea, an app would have to declare that it wants rights to that permission. There are also apps that can detect which apps have access to it and block the rights. Check out privacy blocker in the market from Stericson I think? But you guys are right, its used for admins to be able to brick a lost or stolen phone remotely, its part of the enterprise android features say if the phone had sensitive data.

This is stuff I have read a few times, and I'm pretty sure it's accurate, I may not be dead on though.
