[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] guitarplay:
Been using this rom for a couple days now, and i can honestly say this is one of my favorite roms. The only problems i noticed were the random reboots (which i solved by flashing the LB6 kernel) and the occasional FC of S Voice, which was caused every time i tried to play music (yes, i know this has been explained ;) ) Oh, and sometimes when i use S Voice to open an app, it'll say it's opening it, but nothing will happen. Not much of a problem, but thought it was enough to at least bring up.

Either way, definitely the best ICS roms for our phone.

EDIT: I forgot to mention, my alarm doesn't work right. It goes off at the time I set it for, but there's no sound. I may be missing something, but I have set my notification and call ringtones.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] sungersoo:
sorry to bring up a thread with a rom thats already final.

but did anyone mess with cpu speed and find a good number? im running 100-800 ondemandx but its slow when trying to call or message someone.

sometimes crashes.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Theraze:
This looks like a question. Which should go to the Q/A thread.

But to stave off further questions, a few basic ICS 'facts' (as I understand them) regarding our kernel.

First, setting anything below 200 for min speed doesn't do anything after the first 5 cycles or so.

Second, ondemandx, when in sleep mode will be using minimum speed, so expect it to wake up slowly. If you want fast wake-ups, use something else. If you want great battery life, expect slow wake-ups. For ondemandx, I tended for 200-800. Using the PooP kernel, I tended for 200-900 with SavagedZen.

Third, as alluded to earlier, Q/A thread is here. Ask further questions there and you may actually end up with Thanks for useful questions instead of being reported... as tends to happen if you keep asking questions in the wrong place. :)

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] xalinhoe:
So, a sad and dumb tale. I rooted my phone and through the process have erased my nv_data.bin and subsequent files from the efs folder. I was dumb enough to have not created a backup of the folder before losing these files. My IMEI is now a 0/1. Now I've searched all over for a solution but there apparently have been some people claiming it can be solved but noone has ever posted a guide to how to do this. Skeptical over a fix existing for this problem, i have called in to my carrier and claimed i would like to exchange phones citing that my current S3 is getting very slow. As my device is within the return time, it was accepted. However, if a fix is possible i would like to cancel the work order and keep my current one.

So, my 2 questions are basically this;

can anyone tell me if this problem is fixable, and if so, tell me how :D.

secondly, i have heard of people with the same problem returning their devices for new ones. I would like to know what was the carriers return policy and if they ever called back when they found your phone had no IMEI.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] justinblaine23:
Unfortunately it doesn't look like there's currently a fix, did you only root it or did you root then flash stuff as well? as far as I've heard just rooting shouldn't have made you lose the IMEI, but I'm no expert.

you could try this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1308546

or search hc ktool in play store to see if either of those methods work, but since it's already corrupt it probably wont....hope it works!

As far as for returning, is your flash counter 0? if not and you un-root the phone theres really no way for them to know you messed with it and they won't care about anything and will replace it.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] xalinhoe:
i didnt flash anything i dont think. i installed supersu using cwm...

so does anyone have any stories about returning their phones with broken IMEI's?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] androholic:
I read about someone who did this on the AOKP thread over on rootzwiki. He said he unrroted & returned it for another no problem, he had T mobile.

My dumb ass question for the day is this. What does it effect when your IMEI is erased? Does the phone still work or is it not reading the sim? I'm very gun shy to flash anything else until someone can figure out what is causing this issue...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] xalinhoe:
im with a canadian carrier. virgin mobile. a subsidiary under bell mobile. so hopefully its similar case.

the imei is the number that the carriers recognize in order for them to allow u into their services. without a confirmed imei number on their network, u cannot call, text, or anything related to the mobile network. the phone still functions fine.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] androholic:
Ouch... That's pretty much what I figured :-( I just backed mine up to my external sd card.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] jasonyump:
its an ongoing issue so far happening with att and tmobile sgs 3s( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=28710945. backing up the /efs folder wont be of any help either if you do lose your imei as the lte sgs 3s are missing nv_data.bin in the /efs partition which contains the imei number.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] xalinhoe:
something really weird happened today. I bring my IMEI broken phone around with me jus for music. but today randomly i got a bunch of texts, voicemail, and missed calls since the time my IMEI broke down. that must mean i regained access back to the mobile network somehow. when i rechecked in an hour. i did not have mobile network connectivity and my IMEI was set a 0/01 again.

maybe someone knows wth that was?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] mikejr83:
Out of curiosity, what partition does the efs folder live on? A factory reset or downloading the firmware from samsung-updates.com and flashing through Odin won't work. Forgive the ignorance. I just want to know if this applies to all S3's.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] xalinhoe:
oddly enough. even though i have my imei is 0/01, i randomly get connectivity to the mobiles network on occasions. this has happened a couple of times now. i received a bunch of texts and calls, and then service is gone again.

any possible explanations?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] johnhazelwood:
The imei number isn't in the normal efs folder. I believe some very bright devs are looking into finding it, but for now there is no way to backup the imei.

This happend to me too. My IMEI read 0 /02. Good thing I was still within the 14 day return policy. I'm not doing any modding til this IMEI mess is resolved.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] zonly1:
Yes, this did happen to me. My IMEI = 0 and my IMEISV= 02. All works fine except data and I'm stuck on Edge. I visited two T-Mobile stores today and they were baffled, but strangely neither bothered to look at the IMEI nor for the tripped counter. I purchased my phone on 6.21.12 and will be receiving my new phone tomorrow. I'm really wanting to get back to CM9/10, but think I will now wait until there is a backup/restore for the IMEI...or, I will not use Odin and trip my counter...that is what I'm most worried about.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] ExodusC:
I have yet to see any Verizon customers with this issue, nor do I seem to have an nv_data.bin file in /efs. I did have an IMEI folder, however.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] liquid.emotion:
i got the same problems

I can tell you it is random. because i flash the same kernel before and it work. but after i flash CM10 i get to play around with it for bit and decide that is not my daily driver and i do a restore back to my CM9 ROM

after that here is what i did

T-mobile S3 t999

Latest CWM recovery v5.8.4.7

ROM CM9 nightly July 19 ,

after reboot into recovery, i wipe cache partition & Dalvik Cache

then i flash "TGST-CM9-ICS_ALPHA19.zip" - the Trinity kernel

when my phone reboot i discover the IMEI is gone.

Any suggestion?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] NewKlNGjames:
The store won't check it normally. If you are doing a warranty exchange the return department will and if they notice, you may get an oww(out of warranty) fee on one of your next two bills. If you do, at least it will be less than an insurance deductible
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] xalinhoe:

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] djkinetic:
As of right now there is no way to backup or restore your IMEI if it is lost, unlike the International SGS III, the nvdata.bin is not stored in EFS, the IMEI on Qualcomm Variants is stored somewhere else and unfortunately is also encrypted. Devs are currently working on this and perhaps there will be some progress but as of now, just go back to stock and return the phone to your carrier for a new one, that is really you're only option.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] xalinhoe:
exactly. it seems currently developers have sniffed out hints as to where the imei files are located but have not verified anything. i predict it will still take a couple more weeks until this problem is solved. hopefully by the times of samsungs coference in mid august. im guessing theyll be releasing news of jellybean ports for s3 and s2 variants.

when i updates CM9 4.0.4 BCM for my Nexus One, the capacitive buttons (as back, menu, home, search) not light up when I am in a dim room. I can force them on my covering the brightness sensor. My Inspire would light up whenever I hit a button. Is there maybe a setting I am missing to turn the feature on?

Do you help me?!

Thanks.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cpm:
You can tweak brightness levels on CM9. This includes the button lights being on /off - value of 255=on, any other value = off.

Think it's Display >. Automatic back light > Use custom > Edit other levels.

You will then see a table of values with a Button column on the right hand side. Set this to 255 or 0 as needed.

Of course you need to have Automatic Brightness switched on in the first instance for this to work.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boypro25:
i work it with your guide. but it not ligh.

Do you give me specific instructions?

:(
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boypro25:
i'm ok! :D

thank you very much!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cpm:
No problem.

You can also use the app Screen Filter. With this app you can dim your screen to different levels. However it also has an option to set the button lights on/off, so you could also use that without requiring Automatic Brightness.

So you could create a Screen Filter Widget at say 96% brightness and button light on, and another similar one with button light off. Try it out anyhow.

Hope that makes sense, and good luck :)

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] s1yfox:
So I thought I would give up my inexperienced life of flashing and possibly bricking my device(sent it in to get jtag repaired), so I attempted to put it back to stock. I got odin up and running, Downloaded(for the most part) the tar that would make it stock again. about 98% into the flashing it failed and made me a little nervous. I later remembered to flash the kernel, and with it, the phone booted up. Fine and dandy one day yadda yadda yadda.

Now comes day 2, and it just randomly turned off and booted again. it got to the little android boot screen, then shut down again, rinse repeat at different times of the boot process, add in some random shutdowns when I'm at the home screen and using my phone and there you have it.

I figured it was using an unfinished stock rom trying it's best to function, so I tried to put in clockwork mod. I did, but it was very difficult as I navigated through clockwork recovery, the phone would select things on its own, making the rooting process a giant pain. With that monkey on my back, I managed to root and install the juggernaut v.5 rom(which totally rocks) to see if the probably persists. The end result was it still happened, but when it didn't, I was able to work with it normally. At this point in time, I am trying to keep my phone turned on because if for a second the screen shuts off, the phone will start trying to shut itself down and game over. This is still very very annoying and was wondering if you fine people would happen to point someone thats green as grass with this stuff in the right direction :)

That's exactly what I was thinking. Everytime I would lock my phone with the power button it'll turn off and stay black vibrating. When I lock my phone using screen off and lock app it won't turn off but to unlock it I have to use the power button, than it turns off.

So I went to a T-Mobile store earlier and they told me they can't replace my phone because I'm rooted and they think its the rom, even tho I showed them.

I have to odin flash the original stock rom and go back to T-Mobile to get it replaced.

Know any way you can flash back without an internet connection on a computer?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Calz-:
In the non touch clockwork recovery use menu to scroll down. Home to scroll up. Back to go back. And search to select. I figured it out by my power button clicking things.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] s1yfox:
the only way i know how is through odin. I've done it a few times. at the end of the flashing I find that the phone turns itself off or something which marks it down in odin as a FAIL..when in actuality it flashed....it just needs a kernel flash and it'll all be candysticks and lollipops.

At this point in my phones life though, however, it is increasingly harder to do anything in clockwork since the button is fudged up. I think I might have to pony up 35$, but if you can Odin your phone back to flash and tell T-Mobile/Samsung about it, you can probably get the repair for free
