[Verizon Droid Charge] msgic:
I'm contacting Verizon today, the replacement SIM they have sent me is showing as not recognized or registered. I did Odin back to stock before I put the new card in. I'll do it again when i get home from work, just in case.

Phone is acting like it doesnt know what network to connect to.

Under Phone status it says Searching for service.

Mobile Network Type: UNKNOWN

Update: After talking with Verizon Techs the sim card seems fine, however, my phone is unable to contact their tower to update information on the Sim.
[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
AFAIK, you can't recover from EFS clear. Could be wrong, but I've never seen anyone get back to a fully working device after selecting it.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Ronbo85:
Long story short, I bought a bricked charge, got it unbricked and noticed it has the IMEI but no MEID(all zeros) in the settings menu. The phone is clear on VZW but I am stuck. I am guessing when it was bricked (or unbricked by who I used to fix it) my MEID was wiped cuz the unbricker gave me the phone with a custom ROM.

I was wondering if someones charge with a good efs restore could be edited with a hex editor or something to match for example my valid IMEI less the extra digit to fix this?
[Verizon Droid Charge] Ronbo85:
Just to confirm, if you read my previous/above post I tried to activate my charge via my vzw accout online. I entered my MEID number and vzw prompted me to swap my sim(had an active thunderbolt) which I did. I saw that I had no signal with the vzw network so I popped my sim back in the T-bolt. To date when I log into my vzw account it shows I am using a charge.

My charge works on wifi fine
[Verizon Droid Charge] rj57:
I took a look at my efs and it is basically a FAT16(RFS) filesystem with a few files and directories. There are 2 files, one of which has the Bluetooth MAC and the other that has what appears to be a MAC for something. On mine there is also a directory structure that contains the DRM stuff for DIVX. If there is anything in there that relates to the MEID, it would probably be the /efs/imei/.nvmac.info file that has what appears to be a MAC.

That being said, it looks like there is no linear correlation between the value in the .nvmac.info file and the MEID or IMEI (or even the serial number portion for that matter) There is a possibility that there is some sort of hash function being run on it to derive the MEID.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Ronbo85:
Hi, thanks for the reply. What you find looks close to my charge. Here is my last message to the unbricker. He asked me a question about the efs folder/files content in my charge for a possible restore. I replied with my findings and never heard from him again, this was 2 weeks ago.

Question: What files are in it? Do you see a .bin file or a .Bak file?

Answer: The efs folder has a couple sub folders \imei and \.files and one file named .nv_state

The sub folder \ .files has 3 more sub folders that are empty

The sub folder \ imei has the files .nvmac.info & bt.txt

I don't see any bin files.

Not true, I EFS CLEARED MY FASCINATE. I HAD TO ACTIVATE a DIFFERENT device then reactivate the fascinate.....
[Verizon Droid Charge] Ronbo85:
Thats interesting, I tried to activate my charge via my vzw accout online. I entered my MEID number and vzw prompted me to swap my sim(had an active thunderbolt) which I did. I saw that I had no signal with the vzw network so I popped my sim back in the T-bolt. To date when I log into my vzw account it shows I am using a charge.

Maybe I should go thru the motions back the the t-bolt then back to the charge. these do take sim cards though
[Verizon Droid Charge] XDAholic:
Yeah not sure, but I can tell you that that's how I fixed it. 4g/Sim card might be different but I know GoS did the same thing. You can prob find his panick thread in the fascinate Q and A section. GizmoDroid explained what it does and how to fix. Again, 4g/Sim card might be different story. Good luck...

[Verizon Droid Charge] Ronbo85:
My phone in the settings menu has the IMEI number but the MEID is all zeros, did you ever see anything like that?
[Verizon Droid Charge] XDAholic:
According to GizmoDroid

It means your MEID is corrupt and Cant Rebuild the EFS data. Odin stock and send in for warranty....
[Verizon Droid Charge] Ronbo85:
Wish I could but thank you for the help

NP.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Ronbo85:
maybe if I could get the backup from another charge EFS folder and do some mix of this IMEI fix here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=881162 it might be worth a try. This thing is useless as it is now maybe we could learn something I have nothing to lose at this point.
[Verizon Droid Charge] rj57:
Have you considered taking it back to unrooted stock?

The stock recovery may work better at fixing things than whatever version of Humble that you are on.

I really do appreciate the suggestions.

PS: Whats V6 Supercharger?
[Verizon Droid Charge] ilovesoad:
A memory management script that reduces launcher redraw and lag, while replacing androids memory management settings. Zepplinrox makes it, and check android general development for it. I used it on my dx2, because it sucked, and liked it, but don't find it necessary on the charge. Ymmv obviously.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Ronbo85:
Interesting, thank you for the info.

My DX1 was so much better on the Liberty ROM , havent been able to use the charge enough to know
[Verizon Droid Charge] raheb9:
Tried and tested

You gotta flash back to Ezbase and all your issues are solved. Further on, you can then back up your efs folder before flashing to any other rom.
[Verizon Droid Charge] fastblazers:

[Verizon Droid Charge] vdbergh:
So Odin has a checkbox that when you select it, your phone will be destroyed beyond recovery? This is creasy.
[Verizon Droid Charge] fastblazers:
Im not sure that he did with droidcharge, ezbase has different pit n rom.

Flashing with different rom can cause "deadboot"

Flash your firmware's latest modem. This is really SOLUTION! I suffered many times while I'm learning but your firmware and modem file must match. Be careful. Flash your latest firmware modem!!!
[Verizon Droid Charge] Dinara°:
I recently flashed stock firmware through Odin and actually selected efs clear. Efs clear actually does wipe it but also reconstructs it. I know I'm super duper late but to any of you who are reading this thread now, make sure you are flashing the stock firmware while selecting efs wipe. I got no problems now and I actually had to select it because I had some problems with the efs itself. Now it's all fixed. There is NO WAY a efs wipe can damage or *fry* your SIM card.

So I just decided to put on the GB version of BAMF & the GB radio and I got an e-mail from Google through my gmail account that read this

Absolutely under no circumstances *EVER* flash via recovery a 2.22.* radio when you have a 3.22.* radio it *WILL* brick your phone

on a similar note:

Absolutely under no circumstances *EVER* flash via recovery a 3.22.* radio when you have a 2.22.* radio it *WILL* brick your phone

And on that note another few reasons why we recommend using fastboot

If you have a 1.22.* radio and install Danger SPL or 1.33.0013/0013d SPLs via recovery you will also brick your phone.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=831139 is safe for ALL dream users, always use that fastboot method for installing 1.33.0013d or ask ldrifta to pay for your replacement phone.. anyway those other instructions are for downgrading a t-mobile dream.. while 60% of the time it may work.. downgrading to out of region firmwares causes headaches when an NBH fails to apply the first time.. since you can't simply re-flash and move on.

(anyway the rooting guide for the e911 dreams already expects the users to install fastboot/adb so it ought to be easy to fastboot the radio+SPL.. the only real problem with my thread is some people feel overwhelmed with the full operation guide of the new phone the Radio/SPL transforms the phone into)
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timothymw:
I have become pretty comfortable with NVFlash, but notice that it didn't remove any of the apps or user settings (e.g. my wifi network name and password). I found that pretty strange. To get back to a true stock, I had to NVFlash to stock, so I could install CWM, and then use CWM to partition, which finally removed everything, and then NVFlash again to go back to stock, and then the OTA update to 3588.

Am I missing something? Shouldn't NVFlash remove everything, including all the amazon apps that weren't behaving nicely after some permissions got messed up somewhere along the line?

p.s. I did notice when I ran NVFlash that it started at part4.img, and not sure what happened to any prior .img files.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fosser2:
NVFLASH does not touch SDCARD memory. It only flashes other "boot" partitions. To format SDCARD memory, use CWM and format SDCARD through that program. I have also noticed that nvflash starts at part4 and I have no idea why. Whatever...it works :p

Just got my steinheil protector and I cant figure out which side of the protective backing on the film to remove first. There are two numbers:

2: Says Back

Well which is the side that goes against the screen. I thought the side that said back would be the side that adheres to the screen but then why does it have a number 2?
[Thunderbolt Accessories] Morkai Almandragon:
I had this same problem, remove 2 as you place it, that is the side that is sticky. I actually emailed them and complained about the way they do that and they sent me a new one.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] ElectroFetish:
i just got mine on monday, i only put one of them on. i left it on my phone for about 15 minutes and took it off because it looked like ****. i did everything right and there was still 25 bubbles, i was heated, i haven't tried to put the second on yet...
[Thunderbolt Accessories] Envirosciguy:
Each bubble is usually a speck of dust or dirt. What I do is run the hot water in the shower for a while with the bathroom door closed. The steam that builds up knocks the dust out of the air and then put on the Steinheil. Sometimes there will still be an air bubble or two. In that case use a piece of scotch tape and carefully remove the dust. I use them all the time and IMO they're the best.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] Jaxidian:
+1

If you don't do the steam thing (get it really steamy) then you are wasting your time and money. Also, if you do have a spec that somehow got in there (doesn't happen to me), get it off asap. If you wait a day or two, your screen will hold the shape with the bubble whether dust is in there or not.

I was wondering if it is possible to transfer apps from X10 to Arc so I don't lose the progress on the apps?

Also if anyone knows about Lookout Mobile, is transferring data from a phone to another a good option or does it only transfer stuff like SMS and emails?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stan.s:
You could use sony sync app that will certainly transfer all the contacts. Also if you have a spare sim card so that the phone is not in emergency mode you can just bt the contacts to the other phone.

While I have lookout I have not had to transfer to another phone so you would have to ask the developers.
