[Captivate Android Development] BusySignal:
Lost my IMEI (says "Unknown") coming from Serendipity VII Gingerbread. No mobile network. Disconnected. Zero bars. /efs only has an empty lost+found folder. :(
[Captivate Android Development] dheeraj (dhlalit11):
I have readed many post stating cannot edit apn OK you can't edit but you can create new one why not do that instead of creating posts its more easy than create post
[Captivate Android Development] BusySignal:
How would changing APN settings help when the folder containing the IMEI has been nuked? It can't connect to the mobile network to begin with.
[Captivate Android Development] dheeraj (dhlalit11):
sorry didn't want to quote your post it was a mistake

go to sdcard there will be a backup folder there will be a efs folder just copy files from there and reboot
[Captivate Android Development] BusySignal:
Thanks dhlalit11!! This worked; my IMEI is restored.

I have flashed back to Serendipity VII, until the releases become more stable.
[Captivate Android Development] dheeraj (dhlalit11):
happy to help but there is no need to go back I don't know why this happened to you but this is not the fault of rom and the rom is preety much stable
[Captivate Android Development] mod777:
I tried that using root explorer (didn't use adb cause I didn't have it on the work computer when I was updating) and it would not change any files in the efs folder.

I tried to copy the backup but the files would not show up. I even tried deleting the efs folder and root explorer said failed. Yes, system was mounted.

Oh and yes, I couldn't add an apn either.
[Captivate Android Development] dheeraj (dhlalit11):
the method is for those who have lost their imei not for getting mobile data and adb is not compulsory, do not copy the backup folder copy the data you find in ""/sdcard/backup/efs"" to /""efs""
[Captivate Android Development] mod777:
lol I did lose my imei (see 2nd post on previous page) - when you lose your imei you also lose your mobile data and you can not add an apn. I also tried copying just the files in backup/efs directly into the efs folder and still they would not copy. I will try again later and do what other member said and wait 5 minutes and reboot/clear caches and flash gapps to see if that work.
[Captivate Android Development] dheeraj (dhlalit11):
well thanks for laughing on me

why don't you try es file explorer instead of root explorer maybe it will work if you love ad commands why not use terminal emulator
[Captivate Android Development] mod777:
I flashed CNA again today and still had no imei and service, but this time the efs folder had files in it besides the lost found folder. I rebooted and still no imei. I waited 20 mins and still nothing. Dropped to cwm recovery and cleared data/caches and still nothing. Used root explorer and was able to copy the efs files this time. Rebooted. Still nothing. cleared data/caches again rebooted and once again nothing.

I've been flashing roms on captivates since DG came out with his 1st cognition. I've never had problems like this.

I'm giving up on this rom until it's fixed... right now it's no good on my captivate.

You understand why I laughed...because you said "the method is for those who have lost their imei not for getting mobile data" -- and I lost my imei and don't have data. No offense.
[Captivate Android Development] lastimp:
Appreciate the help "dhlalit11" but I agree with "mod777" I've have my captivate since release day and have been flashing roms since a week after that, for those of us having this problem it is directly related to any version of CNA above 1.4.0.

After a flash of CNA rom I can restore my EMEI from backup but when I add an apn and hit save it is gone on reboot. Also if I don't even restore my EMEI from backup and directly install any other rom including CNA 1.4.0 (after factory reset and system format of course) my EMEI magically is back with signal and data.

I have tried everthing that I could think of to make this rom work including flashing to stock, flashing modems, restoring EMEI, readding apn settings, replacing apns-config.xml from working rom, EMEI backup and restore, I get the same result everytime, accept for one time from the nightly after CNA 1.4.0 I got it too work after 2 hours of messing around and then when I updated to CNA 1.5.5 it was back to the drawing board.

Don't get me wrong I really want to run this rom, in my opinion it is the best rom I have ever used on my phone (the only one that everything just worked on install and worked awesome) and would love too find a solution for this and willing to try any update but so far have not seen any updates related to this problem.

I don't mean to offend "dhlalit11" and really appreciate the suggestions and any additional ones if you have them, its just frustrating with over 10 hours trying to make a rom with so much potential work.
[Captivate Android Development] Chuckd610:
I just ported CNA 1.5.6 from the i9000 thread for myself. I wanted to see if there were any issues. So far everything is very smooth and quick. There's no APN issues either! The only thing I can't get to work are the virtual buttons. Other than that, I'm very impressed.
[Captivate Android Development] sixstringsg:
That isn't 1.5.6. He wasn't supposed to name it that but did anyway. Its also older than the latest nightly.
[Captivate Android Development] Chuckd610:
Just when I thought I was doing something....lol.....Oh well, guess I'll find another sandbox to play in. Do you know if there's any way to take the necessary APN files from the older version and put it in this release. No APN for this release is seriously hampering my phone efforts...lol
[Captivate Android Development] sixstringsg:
What release are you talking about? The nightlies, or the official 1.5.5?
[Captivate Android Development] wickedninjalo:

[Captivate Android Development] Scothran3:
just flashed the 1.5.5 and lost EFS folder. Going back to stock then back here (after gaining root of coarse lol)

question: if i back up my EFS folder from stock can i simply replace the EFS folder on my sdcard if ever lost again?

Nice work on the Rom btw!!!
[Captivate Android Development] scottcwhite:
Yes

CNA 1.55

used an older version fine... this one doesnt get signal or show an imei number in settings... Ive tried restoring efs at no avail. It comes back if I change roms.

Is this still being built? I have seen CNA 2.0 out for Nexus S for the last couple of week, but nothing here.
[Captivate Android Development] sixstringsg:
Nightlies are at cna.exynos.co. They are built every night, on the latest code. That's not official 2.0. It's an RC.

[Captivate Android Development] mwiz123:
APN not working
[Captivate Android Development] ams73:
Looks like 1.5.5 breaks IMEI. The IMEI of my captivate got changed to something else and hence I was unable to make and receive calls. Fortunately I had a backup of the "efs" folder.

[Nokia Lumia 900] pistol44:
Some of you may have seen the limited DK edition of the Lumia 800. Sounds like a possible Lumia 900 version may be reaching Rogers here in Canada.

http://www.rogers.com/web/content/lumia-900?cm_sp=wireless-pre-_-lumia-900-en-0212-_-slot3

Price leaks speculate it could be priced at $499 CAN. Not bad at all.. Considering most online retailers are pre-selling much higher. Dark Knight edition could also be kinda cool..

BUT I've really had my heart set on the white model. Bored of black phones. Just not sure if I'll be able to find one with LTE and unlocked that will work on the ATT/Rogers/Telus/Bell bands.

Even if there is one available I'm not sure dishing out a possible $100-$150 more just for a white unlocked one is worth it.

Anyone else interested in this?
[Nokia Lumia 900] resetoriginal:
i'd be interested however, im waiting to see some battery tests on the lte vs the dc-hsdpa.

Yeah, basically, or virtual machine. You need ODIN to root, and there's no ODIN for mac as far as I know. I just booted into windows in boot camp on my laptop.

I did set up a Windows 7 Virtual Machine using VMware on the mac mini in my office, and it worked fine to flash via ODIN as well, so that's also an option if you don't want to actually make a windows partition.

Hey Guys,

My HTC Legend about 1 year and a half old now is always saying that my SD Card has been unexpectedly removed. It is 16GB Sandisk HC class 4, I've tried this with 2 16GB Sandisk MicroSDHC Class 4 but the same problem arises. Now when i use the card i was given with my phone it works perfectly fine it is 2GB SanDisk MicroSD.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 97_3:
I experienced the same problem until i got root. Two weeks now running CM7 without any SD-incidents.

Most of the times the unexpected removal appeared on my Legend was at times of heavy writing and reading to/from the SD-card.

Thanks for the reply! I'm now rooted with CM7.1 and now it says SD Card is damaged? IT works perfectly fine on my old nokia and my computer with an SD Adapter. Very annoyed as i have a lot of files i want to put on my phone :(

Any more solutions are appreciated.
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oops...:
You still have access to your files via PC, right? If so, copy all stuff to your PC and try to reformat the SDCARD afterwards. Google for "sd formatter panasonic", should give you the tool I used. Options: quick format; format size adjustment OFF

Good luck :)

I just fully flashed a Evo the other night for a friend, he already had a flashed Evo on Cricket with the $55 plan,

I flashed the new one and inputed my friends same phone number with QPST

When I was all done the phone was completely working with Market, internet, and all streaming sites such as you tube were all good all on 3G.

I gave the phone to my friend and he called it in to have it changed on his account, he hung up waited a half hour and the phone did not work, he called back and they had placed the MEID number wrong they corrected it and had him dial *228 I had informed him not to do the *228 but he did anyway.

NOW the phone makes calls and all of the internet works and mms but the phone will when trying to connect to Market says to create a new Gmail account then when he hits enter it fails to connect to the google servers. Also youtube streaming now does not work or any other streaming site.

I got his phone back and the proxy.s are all still correct and I deleted all apn's and restored the modified cricket one and still the same issue.

What else can I try???

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] flippage:
Wow, what exactly caused this brick issue? Doing factory reset from HBOOT?

I followed directions to a T and had no issues. I placed the rom on my phones internal memory, and the HBOOT file on the external SD. I flashed the rom without the SD card inserted. Once complete, I rebooted the phone WITH the SD card inserted and proceeded to let the HBOOT do its auto-updating. After that, no issues whatsoever.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Dxtra:
Yea pretty much that's all I did , wipe the device after flashing the PH.img.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] dizzyraider:
I think it happens when updating the HBoot Firmware (the PH39IMG file), it somehow doesn't complete the update OR the failure to flash recovery immediately after successful firmware update (this one could be recovered from).
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Hunt3r.j2:
Make sure that you have an HTC Vivid, and make sure that when you flash the bootloaders that they aren't corrupted. DO NOT PULL THE BATTERY WHEN IT TURNS OFF DURING THE UPDATE. IT IS REBOOTING TO FINISH INSTALLATION OF THE BOOTLOADERS.

Screw up the bootloaders and you'll brick your phone. Simple as that. Only way to save it is to get it into Qualcomm diagnostic dload mode.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] boyppc:
yes, my phone in Qualcomm dload mode.

thank. who can fix?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] petco1506:
Does anyone now hiw to fix a bricked HTC vivid or a business that does it
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Hunt3r.j2:
You need to get the full ICS ROM as a ph39img.zip, put on sd card, and do a keycombo to try to see if it'll flash it when you press volume-down and power. Apparently that should give you five vibrations, then after 5 minutes, press volume up to let it vibrate once, then spend about another 10 minutes before pressing volume up one more time.
