@ MarioFan1998

Thank you very much to you MarioFan1998. Your help is very much appreciated. I will be very slow on your instructions.

But I think I need to add what came out today. I went to Samsung Touch near me. They said that the serial number and IMEI are lost and my phone is corrupted now. I was told that these problems happen while updating apps. And they pointed out that the motherboard needs to be replaced.

Do you think I can still go with your instructions above given the new findings I have? Again, thank you so much for your being so helpful.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsung_fanatic:
Thank you ksilver89. Is there a danger there? You see, in addition to what I was told at Samsung Touch which I consulted to MarioFan1998 on my reply to his last message, technicians there also told me that there's a possibility that my Samsung Galaxy S2 would go dead if I try to factory-reset it.

Can you please give me some advice? Again, thank you so much.

Thank you so much Jokesy. Can you please tell me how to get my ROM details. Sorry, I really am non-techie. Thank you very much for your help.

IMEI lost? Well then you probably have to get it replaced :/

EDIT: Don't root your phone. If you're imei really is gone then there's nothing anyone can do about it :/ I search for a solution though
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saywhatt:
hey, have you tried flashing a stock firmware? just to make sure try to flash Gingerbread although it is quite outdated, it's more stable than that of ICS.. you can search here on XDA how to flash firmwares, read the instructions carefully and don't mess it up :) do not forget to wipe dalvik cache! and i think factory reset can do good at this

cheers ;)

I would say you simply need to flash a new modem to your device.

You can do this by Odin too, no root needed, no custom ROM or kernel.

Have a look onto the galaxy s2 shipped modem collection thread. --> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1131950

I recommend kh3 or ki4 modem.

Good luck!

PS: missing IMEI is just a side effect of the missing modem, don't worry it will come back.

Modern is the problem not missing imei.

A modern is the baseband or radio of your phone. Flashing a new model will not kill your phone.

-make sure your phone is not connected to charger

-reboot to CWM recovery

-flash modem

-reboot phone

Good luck

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Karpfenhai:
If you are not yet rooted, you need Odin to flash the modem.bin.

You can also instal an update.zip via default system recovery, but it may be hard to find a compatible zip for that.

To stop your confusion, Odin 1.84 plus Samsung kies (for the drivers) are your best attempt to get the phone working again.

Read read and read to learn how to do so.

I Thought My SGS2 Was Not Rooted Until Today

Hey guys, can you help me out? I'm now not sure whether my Samsung Galaxy S2 is rooted or not. So, I don't know which one of the instructions you have mentioned is applicable.

This is because, a technician from Samsung Touch had told me that my phone Build number should not be Gingerbread.XWKF1 if it's not yet rooted. But I had not rooted it yet. How come it became rooted? Could it be caused by an Android App update?

Now, I don't know how I go about fixing it through your advice because what if the method I use is for rooted and my phone is actually not rooted? Or the other way around, what if my phone is now rooted for any reason and the method I use is not for rooted? Can you please tell me how can I make sure that my phone has not yet became rooted?

Please help! I will be very very thankful to you all. Thank you so much.

I had a similar issue on an s2 where the imei was missing due to a corrupted efs partition and showing no network. I had to root it and then use galaxy s2 fixer from the play store, which fixed it for me. I would try this is flashing a new modem doesn't work, which I dot think it will as it doesn't affect the imei being displayed.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhxkinMassacre:
right so i have twrp 2.2.1.4 and made a backup, flashed cm10 (no gapps), tried to boot, nothing but a black screen. so i held the power button and vol down to get into bootloader but idk what to do from there because clicking "recovery mode" sounds like something other than a boot into twrp and fastboot commands aren't working. can someone tell me how to get this working again?

also when i tried restoring a backup via twrp before i wasn't able to boot cm it would just reboot twrp and not restore...

Edit: nvm i fixed it. i thought recovery mode would put it in something similar to dfu mode on ipods but clicked it anyway and got to twrp :D still can't restore my backup tho...

Edit2: ok now found out that 2.2.1.4 was a bad release. went back to 2.2.1 and all is good :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] i.Design:
I was using an old droid x until it stopped working about two weeks ago. I got a gnex as a replacement from Verizon and wow am I happy with this phone.

I've been following xda for a long time but never rooted my phone until just a few days ago.

With all the information on this forum I was able to unlock, root, and flash a ROM to my galaxy nexus without a hitch.

I flashed the BAMF ROM with francos kernel and my battery life is 10 times better than it was stock with 4.0.4. The jb build from BAMF is smooth as butter with francos. I just wanted to give a big thanks to all the developers and people willing enough to test all these builds.

I think a lot of the devs work goes unnoticed or at least taken for granted.

All this work has made me more efficient with my graphic design business and made it easier to keep in contact with my customers without running to a charger every 2 hours.

I registered solely to post this but all I want to say is thank you to the dev community and all the developers who make this all possible!

[LG Optimus Black] ohadz:
My ob fell 2 days ago into salt water (salt concentration of 33.7%)

It dried out in 3-4 hours, after 10 hours I tried to turn it on and it didn't.

Because of the salt, some metal parts became black, and of course, the water detection stickers on phone and on battery turned red.

Does it still have a chance to turn on? Should I try uncooked rice or is it too late?

I guess I will have to pay $200 to get a refurbished ob from my cellphone carrier. Is it worthwhile?

[HTC One X] ametarasu:
Hi,

I am new to flashing and rooting and have some basic doubts. Does mods survive new flashing? Say if I installed some apps via recovery, do they go away when a new ROM is flashed? Also is there a way to remove them without flashing a new ROM?
[HTC One X] ArmedandDangerous:
For mods yes you have to flash them again when installing a different ROM. If it's a new version of the same ROM, you can choose to either perform a full wipe (recommended) or just install over the old ROM.
[HTC One X] ametarasu:
If its a new version of the same ROM, can I selectively decide which all mods to preserve? I recently installed a font mod. Is there a way to selective remove it alone when flashing.

Is it enough if I manually go and delete the files which was there in the mod or is there a better way?
[HTC One X] ArmedandDangerous:
For fonts you can just delete the font file. Also there are many apps on the market that automate the process of installing/uninstalling fonts :)
[HTC One X] vivek_bhoj:
if you don't perform full wipe and install same ROM, they may survive though it is recommended to perform full wipe if ur ROM has new kernel

& if you are flashing different ROM, mods will not be there

few mods are system wide like Zero's Sound Enhancer... you can't uninstall or delete such mods
[HTC One X] ametarasu:
So if my understanding is correct, all system contents (mods and anything I put to system memory but not the memory card accessible to us) are removed when a wipe happens. And it also removes existing apps. But if I upgrade an existing rom without a wipe my existing mods and apps will remain as it is.

I am trying to figure out a proper strategy for removing existing mods and upgrading roms. Kindly bear with my noob questions. :)
[HTC One X] ArmedandDangerous:
What I do is a do a Titanium Backup of all apps, do a full wipe then restore the apps. Mods aren't listed as apps so they do not appear in Titanium so whatever mods you installed will be gone. I'm assuming this is what you want to do.
[HTC One X] vivek_bhoj:
As ArmedandDangerous said use Titanium backup for backing all your apps and data, u can select which apps to backup and which not its up to you

And never forget to make a Nandroid backup before flashing a new ROM or upgrading one...

its very much required...

If you want to know how to use Titanium backup, check Cursed4eva channel on youtube and check his video on Titanium backup, its very good

How is it possible that with the IPHONE 4 (not iphone 4s) i can get more then 12 hours of usage ? While in the HTC ONE S I can only get 4.5 hours of usage ?

The iphone 4 can get more then 4 days with normal usage, and the one s can only get 1.5 days (sometimes 2 days) with normal usage?

I can't understand it.
[HTC One S] usaff22:
Because of the hardware differences. The One S has a much higher clockspeed etc. than the iPhone. GPU is also better, as with the larger screen. 3.5 compared to 4.3" etc.

[HTC One S] isaster1:
I've had the iPhone 4 and the 4S and both didn't even come close to the battery life of the One S. I don't know what you're talking about. And there is no way you got 12 hours of on-screen time with an iPhone...thats better battery life then a tablet. Although I will say that the iPhone does not use as much battery when I have GPS on. Other then that though?

Four days with iphone 4??You must be joking mate..I used to have one and hardly got one and a half day with zero use..
[HTC One S] xxquicksh0txx:
And on top of all the sweet features we have, all of the Iphone apps are optimized for a single device. So they run their best, with android it's hard to make sure the apps run as efficiently when theirs 1000's of devices.

Some of my friends has iphone 4, and they are playing a lot with their iphone, and only lose 2/3% per 10 -20 minutes. when i play the same games in my htc, i lose 1% per 2-3 minutes.

they don't watch videos. they are playing 2d games, texting And making a phone calls.

the 12 hours they got is inclulding games, texting and callings. the iphone tells u the hours that u used the phone.

Mine can't get 12 hours of games, calling and texting. I could get half of that.

when they don't use the phone much, they can get 4 days. when they use the phone a lot, they can get 8-12 hours.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] game_guy:
I'm going to be upgrading my phone within a week or two. However, I plan on keeping my Play for gaming purposes. (Mostly emulators and a few other games.) Now my question is, since my Play won't be an active phone anymore, is it safe to flash GSM ROMs? Or will that affect other phone functionality? If data is the only thing that's lost with GSM ROMs then I should be fine right?

EDIT: Woops wrong section, meant to post this in Q and A. Sorry about that! "^_^
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pokestory1:
I'm about to buy a xperia play as a gaming device, and the cdma versions are much cheaper, so I have the same question. If it's unlocked for GSM, can we pop a sim and use it as a GSM phone with the GSM rom?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] game_guy:
Actually, your question isn't the same as mine. And to answer your question, the answer is no. CDMA devices are built to work with CDMA frequencies. You cannot get a GSM SIM and place it in your CDMA device. It just won't function.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DubleJayJ:
You can flash a GSM ROM on a CDMA Phone. You just can't use any phone functions. ie messaging, calling etc.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pokestory1:
Well, then I had 2 questions. 1 was your question, and then there was the other question. I thought Verizon had gsm in some of there phones, and you could unlock it for world use. It has a sim slot for some reason... The GSM roms are much better, so can we flash them on the CDMA R800x?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] game_guy:
Alright thanks, once I get my new phone, I won't be able to do any of those things anyways.

Just as JayJ said, you can flash a GSM ROM to a CDMA device, but you'll lose your data functionality. I'm pretty sure Verizon is a CDMA frequency company. Though I may be wrong.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pokestory1:
Checked GSM ARENA and your right. The xperia play CDMA is only a CDMA phone, unlike some phones(example htc trophy) I already have a phone, so this will be a nice wifi only device.
