I actually get very good speeds coming off the android file server, 1-2 mb/sec at times. Usually around 750k/s. Sometimes It does timeout and I have to resume the download. It takes me overall less than 20 to get it downloaded at worst.

I've searched back through and didn't find this particular issue. I had Google Wallet up and running on release 50, today I jumped to 53 and can no longer seem to get wallet back up other than the version without the ability to add any card.

I've tried multiple things, and have ended up restoring back to v50 backup.

On Verizon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] silver04v:
I had this happen stock un rooted, it went away until now, on r50. My notification goes off and gets cut short. So it plays like the first half sort of like a blip of the notification. Any ideas?

did you wipe wallet before loading the new ROM?

Did you change your build.prop file to activate wallet?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] voodoomanx:
You need to disable wallet before flashing, and then redo the google wallet hack after flashing a new rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] WildZontar:
Is your nandroid the one where you activated Wallet?

The secure element is designed to lock if it thinks you're on a different/stolen unit. Wiping the ROM triggers this. Restoring the backup you activated Wallet on, and then deactivating it before you flash a new one, should resolve this problem. Unfortunately, if you hadn't made a backup, there is no way to recover the secure element.

What are you guys using to change cpu speeds? I'm using setcpu but it doesn't wanna stick
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jaredhundrup:
I did a reset on wallet prior to flashing, and then redid the hack, no go. By disable I assume you mean reset unless there is something else I'm unaware of.

jcurley, I did wipe and did modify my build.prop

Wildzonator - I have a nandroid from when I originally installed wallet - stock with root, and a nandroid from v50 with wallet working. I've now restored back to v 50 twice and been fine to access wallet. I've wiped prior to flashing and for whatever reason I can't get wallet back on. I've installed wallet multiple times on this phone and it works. It even works on V53 but it is the old version of wallet without the ability to add any card. I've tried multiple times to get that update on, but it won't take. I can access wallet on v53 and get my google prepaid card balance but can't load the updated wallet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] azradiohead:
I was using SetCPU 3.7? but had to disable the PowerSave feature in the Phone Settings, otherwise that overrides SetCPU.

I installed the latest Synergy 53 and stayed with the stock kernel and with power save off (and setcpu disabled) I've had awesome battery life. I think I'll stay with Synergy's tweaked kernel for awhile.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mytoy1:
I will
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] XTRoRDiNAiRE:
What you mean? Disable the power saver?

Mine is disabled but every time I restart setcpu the min goes up I want it at the lowest but it won't stick

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] XTRoRDiNAiRE:
Are you on the kernel that comes stock with Synergy's rom? Because when I set the min to 384 it looks like it sticks but when I close out the app and then go back into it the min is set like at 1200

Who the dev of that kernel and why would they set it at 1900 max and 1200 min by default??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dvaderx:
i'm using system tuner and my speeds stick just fine.

they are kernel speeds at boot up, but shortly after boot, system tuner kicks in and sets them to my choice.

so cpu will show 1.9 used,but only for a few seconds during boot and then no longer.

I have had no problems with bluetooth, gps, wifi or cpu speeds.

Thanks to those willing to test. I actually felt it was a little too risky so I took the bullet myself :)

It took about 12 different flashes (some more scary than others) but we've got it working. Trev will be posting some info here in a bit
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Coderedpl:
What exactly did you get working?

Loss of IMEI and then recovered?

Maybe i should wait with the latest nightly just incase i loose IMEI. I have it there now on CM and backed up with QPST before.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Coderedpl:
When will this backup process start? With the build from tonight?

Basically it will create an update zip, and if say we updated from Version 1 to version 2 and loose the IMEI, we would just flash the zip to get it back?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Neverendingxsin:
This is amazing news :) i can't wait for tonights nightly just so i can get this all backed up.

Awesome news. I've been following this thread religiously for this update since eschelon first hinted at it.

Now, I don't plan on leaving Synergy anytime soon, but will this zip work with any rom you might be on when/if you lose your imei?

Also, can someone post this for people who may not be on Synergy? I'd do it, but I'm a noobasaurus rex and I don't want to give anyone the wrong information.

no this is really some interesting information. i will mess with this next time i loose my IMEI for ya
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Neverendingxsin:
Download right now, will report back after its flashed. I'll be dirty flashing over R53 wiping cache and dalvik my first time, if i encounter any bugs ill do a clean install.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xCHPx:
Someone should keep reflashing until they lose their imei and then test this. Nice work Treve. Insanely jealous of your knowledge and mastery of android.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Neverendingxsin:
While that is a 'good' idea, who knows how many flashes it could take to lose it. E has said before that he does countless flashes almost everyday, and as far as we know he hasn't lost his IMEI.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] con247:
@anyone who can answer this:

Is the IMEI actually lost from the flashing of the rom or during the boot process?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Metfanant:
likely because the IMEI issue is almost exclusively an AOSP issue
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xCHPx:
Fair enough. I just thought it would be funny if someone did this. I can see how it would take quite awhile for it to happen though. I've only flashed once and I'm scared to lose my imei still :P
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eschelon:
It's lost because some of you guys are randomly tripping a weird Samsung reboot code and so the phone automatically restores a bad backup of your IMEI. It's a fluke thing that is incredibly difficult (read: impossible) to replicate at will
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Neverendingxsin:
The efs zip backup worked :) But i did notice that its got the same 1970 date issue that CWM backs up have :P
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] con247:
When does this "weird" reboot occur? Is it completely random, while you are booting up normally from a cold start, rebooting from android, rebooting from recovery?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eschelon:
Yes :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] con247:
yes to which? The fact is is 100% random?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Neverendingxsin:
So basically even somebody with a stock unrooted phone could still get this issue?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eschelon:
Yes to all the above

This is a problem that extends beyond the Verizon S3. A search on this forum will reveal a whole host of Galaxy S2s seeing the same issue. It appears to be a chronic Samsung problem
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Weioo:
Would this work for r46?

Edit: Also, I'm new to the ADB console/stuff... I believe I am doing it right because I move the .apk file into my platform-tools folder. I get into command prompt, navigate to that folder, then type adb push SystenUI.apk /system/app. Command prompt says "1932 KS/s (22252113 bytes in 1.138s)." This, it moved the file, right?

When I reboot the phone I use Root Explorer to check on the file SystemUI.apk and it's dated back to august 6th...Which I believe is the wrong one. Of course, the main thing to note, is that I do not believe the center clock mod is working as I do not notice a difference in the digital clock...unless I'm a noob. When I push the file to system/app does it just overwrite the current file, or what happens? I already backed up the original and made a copy via Root Explorer. I left it in the app folder, if that's ok.

Also, is r50 really worth moving to over r46? My phone seems very stable except I cannot =seem to use voice search in google play.

Any help would be appreciated! :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] con247:
Just ran the manual backup before I did anything else just in case then lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TrevE:
Its possible, galaxy s2s have wierd efs corruption issues even.

If this turns out to be what I am thinking (backup being restored from secondary parts containing "stock" imei) it could be OTAs or something similar we are missing out on trigger newer backups to be written from main partitions to backups. If it had to restore for whatever reason it would be newer/correct. Were trying to cut out the middleman partition voodoo here and just work with real dd backups, hopefully restoring all the pieces together that sec-ril looks for will make everything work.

The other trickery we ran into is partitions do not like to be written to for whatever reason outside of package_extract_file right outa the zip. dd'ing directly back failed over and over, I have no clue why, poor esc must have flashed 100 zips before I gave up looking into it. So the updater zip restore uses only package_extract_file, actually writing partitions out properly. I have high hopes that it will actually work, but until tested otherwise do as many types of backups as you can :p
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Neverendingxsin:
I've got a dropbox full of backups ;)

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] WildZontar:
This is so that I can update the guide I've written on the EFS backup (and for personal reference as well!).

If dd restore doesn't work, what precisely is the proper way to restore this backup? Does this require a SynergyROM tool?

edit: found the zip to flash, nvm...is this safe to flash on stock or AOSP?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TrevE:
dd might work somehow in recovery, i just tried a buncha syntaxes with esc, all came back OK but did squat.

write_raw_image didnt work via edify either, package_extract_file right out of a zip (same way were flashing boot.img) was only way that seemed work.

I believe i bundled all of 7z in there and only hit /sbin/busybox, should work wherever but its untested.

Hi all,

Is there any advantage to using mobile odin with the s3 , and update to G1 modem before updating to latest nightly with efs backup. It seems as the new mobile odin is Verizon s3 ready. I haven't ever used the mobile app so I don't know if it plays nice with Synergy. If not I'm sticking with Team Synergy .

Ive not had any problems even with dirty flash, only wiping cache. And have a efs backup stored as recommended.

Thanks for a rocking rom.

Great job on the rom. love it.

You're still on a kexec recovery (i'm assuming you're on 6.0.1.0?) which is outdated with the unlocked bootloader. Switch recoveries and that'll go away.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] clambert11:
Yeah, what he said. I quickly found out that using GW and flashing nightlies is a PIA. I don't bother with GW anymore. At least not for now. If I find myself wanting to use it more maybe I change up my routine and do weekly updates to my phone.

Just make sure you reset GW before flashing a new ROM (even if you don't have to do a full wipe). You probably didn''t do that. This same situation happened to me. Hopefully you have a nandroid backup you can restore to and reset it.

Quick question is the wifi tether app built in to the Rom free? Not the one in settings the little toggle from the pulldown where the WiFi, data, torch, brightness, ect are?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] supercell2000:
Did you enable NFC? When you wipe it's disabled by default
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] clambert11:
The toggle button in the notification bar is the official Verizon hotspot app. Unless you pay for hotspot capabilities you will want to use Wireless Tether, which is also baked into the ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] henrys01:
One thing I noticed was the /efs parition contains a lot of data that is not in the filesystem

shell@android:/ # df /efs
Filesystem Size Used Free Blksize
/efs 13M 4M 8M 4096

13M partition with 4M used.

shell@android:/ # du -sh /efs
444.0K /efs

However, the filesystem only has 444K. There is a ton of data in the efs parition that doesn't show up in the filesystem. If you look at the binary dumps it does kinda look like NV data. I'm a newb at this though so take it for what it is.

That being said, does the NV data still need to be backed up with QPST or is everything stored in these paritions?

Now if I go to another ROM and lose it, I can still use that same zip that I saved multiple places? Your ROM install will create a new one in the synergy folder each time we flash, so what if that data gets corrupted during the flash process and it backs up corrupt data? Or is hat not possible.

The back up is dated atleast the latest rom dated it, so you will have a fresh back up each time. and yes if data is corrupt before it backs up the zip file will have corrupt data, seeing you have your backup in another spot you need not worry, (till you lose data and thats a big IF)

Also want to admire your patience as a whole. Even reading through this thread and watching people ask the same questions over and over again makes me annoyed and i'm not even a dev! This must be a passion for you guys to continuously put up with it as I would have lost it many versions ago haha.

Your bootloader isn't unlocked as that is the stock kernel. E put a safeguard in that will flash the rom minus the kernel if you don't have unlocked bootloader. It prevents a soft brick but the kernel and ramdisk control the wifi.
