Sometimes when you copy over the new efs folder it seems to be replaced by the system from somewhere on reboot. I tried copying the efs folder then rebooting to recovery and clearing cache. Worked for me somehow.

This topic (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=842775&highlight=search+this+forum&page=6) in the general section contains more decent explanation why this is happening and how we can workaround it until the culprit causing the original issue is found. I've tested it on my end and it works. However I had some differences compared to others reporting the problem i.e. even with the invalid IMEI I was able to make and receive calls, use 3G and install from market.

More Clues On Fixing IMEI Issue (solved for me)

In my case I upgraded directly from Froyo to CM10.1 and got then same dreaded 'default' invalid/corrupt IMEI=004999010640000

On inspection of the /efs files present it was clear they had been created by the system in response to not being present.

Following advice in this thread and elsewhere I downgraded back to Froyo (XXJPU) and like magic my correct IMEI re-appeared but as soon as I upgraded up to CM9 it changed back to the invalid default of 004999010640000 again.

To cut a long story short I downgraded back to Froyo (XXJPU) again, flashed a recent CWM recovery and booted into the recovery. I then used ADB to get a (root) shell prompt and discovered that the correct /efs data was being mounted from the device /dev/stl3 and at this point I was able to tar up the contents of /efs and safely make a backup. I then upgraded to CM10.1, restored the correct /efs backup and rebooted.

Happy with correct IMEI now :)

I am not sure what is going on but I am speculating that the big jump from Froyo to CM10.1 bypasses come critical intermediate ROM build where the correct IMEI data is copied from /dev/stl3. CM10.1 assumes this step has taken place and makes no attempt to get the original IMEI data.

Where did u get the GB ROM for this?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] somator:
it was a problem of flash scripts if i remember correct or issues with specific samsung firmware altered with certain kernels

in short the /efs/ partition from samsung rfs gets converted into ext and in that process some of nv_.* files gets lost or copied with wrong owners / permissions what after boot results in clearing imei to system default (one with 0000 at the end) and issues with no signal.

thats why you should make an efs partition backup prior flashing cm crap

basicly flashing back to samsung firmware should solve the issu, then proper cm jb install and youre good to go
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Latrop:
It worked for me and quite a few people as cm9 did not seem to cause the problems then just upgrading to cm10 from cm9 my guess was it was an issue with the scripts in cm10 and so cm9 worked as a bypass for that :)

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Jass5991:
Answer these questions:

1. Are you using A Hallon (a.k.a. Xperia Neo) or a Haida (a.k.a. Neo V)

2. Did you download the correct zip corresponding to your phone (Hallon/Haida)

3. In a previous ROM, was your phone listed as what it was not? (a.k.a. You're using a Hallon, but it is written as Haida)

If you answered yes to the third question, then you need to reflash the stock ftf file. THEN flash the custom ROM. Pm me for more help :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] khurram.khu:
1. Haida. i.e. (Neo V or MT11i).

2. Yes from here (http://code.google.com/p/freexperia/wiki/CyanogenMod10 THE FXP133 one)

3. Actually I could not understand this question. By the way currently I am on ICS 4.0.4 stock firmware with Base-band (=.72).

This is what I see in my about phone (Attached Image below).

Thanks again for the support. :good:

I tried to flash fxp134, but when I try to reboot, my phone just shows the fxp logo and then goes black.

Yes, I did everything in fastboot, flash boot and reboot. Just goes black after that.

Flashed back to CM9, and that goes all right.

Went to recovery mode in CM9, wiped everything (data, cache, dalvik), rebooted, turned of the phone, went in fastboot mode.

Tried fxp134 again, still the same thing.

I've been searching fora ever since, but I'm not finding anything that can help me. Everybody seems to at least get to recovery mode.

Anyone who can be of help?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] khurram.khu:
I am currently on Stock ICS 4.0.4 so I guess I should start by flashing kernel (boot.img) first, then the ROM (.zip). RIGHT???

Earlier, I was flashing the ROM (.zip) first, which obviously failed. BUT this was originally mentioned in the FXP Thread.

:fingers-crossed:Anyways, Thanks I will try and let you know the result.:fingers-crossed:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] rajxelton:
maybe the build.prop file is broken. these informations is stored in the build.prop file under /system folder in the zip of the rom.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] khurram.khu:
Didn't work out

:eek::(

Didn't work out that way either.

Any other suggestions??? :confused:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] rajxelton:
well. there can be either of two problems, or both (donno exactly).

1. updater file is broken. (status 7)

2. build.prop file is broken. getprop("ro.product.device")

OR BOTH.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] khurram.khu:
yeah, one thing that i tried in terminal emulator.

I executed the command:

getprop("ro.product.device")

and it returned

/system/bin/sh: syntax error: '"ro.product.device"' unexpected

However, when I executed:

getprop ro.product.device

it returned

MT11i

Can you provide a possible solution to this?? :( :eek:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] rajxelton:
upload the META-INF folder which is inside the zip. and build.prop file which is in /system folder.

I will see what can be done :)

GOTCHA!!

hey buddy!!

i had the same problem with installing cm 9 official, solution is very easy and it did work out for me, hell yeah i got it from xda, forgot the dev's name but all credits to him!!!

so i've uploaded your updater-script with changes which is causing all problems :highfive:

just removed these lines:

assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "MT11i" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "MT11i" ||

getprop("ro.product.device") == "MT11a" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "MT11a" ||

getprop("ro.product.device") == "haida" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "haida");

im not sure if you've edited your script in other ways, if my file does not work, take the stock updater-script from cm10 zip and remove them ^ till the ";"

:good::cool:

any problems?

reply 'em!!

the screen will react to water on the screen as well. if you put the phone into the water slowly, water contact on the screen will be registered as touches.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Tuxxperia:
Hey, i just tried it and you're right. When i dip phone inside water slowly, it keeps on recording. I even tried in salted water, but touch control was very bad.

Then i tried drop phone into water fast, and it still recorded video :eek: i don't understand :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] krstep:
Go to the camera app, press the menu button, scroll to the second screen, select capture method and choose camera key only.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Tuxxperia:
Thank you for hint, but i already set this think up. I think, the phone keeps recording when it is in mood for underwater videos. If it's not, you're screwed.

Btw. It takes soooooooooo long to save the video after i stop recording. :confused:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] toterkeks:
It depends on the video size
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Tuxxperia:
can it depend on class of microSD ?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ScatteredHell:
Yes, higher class is fast
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] MXR2:
should we really be using this phone in salt water?

the touch buttons are also activated by water movements if you dip the phone in slowly. you know, the back button & the home button :X

the slow dipping into water would most likely activate either one of that 2 buttons and it will ruin your continuous recording

I had used some public wifis in mc donalds and airport in the past. I never had any problems. Yes, some required sms verifications, but anyways, my phone could connect to them.

After a month, i went to the airport and mc donalds again, but i cant connect to any of them. There were hotspots in other places as well, run by different telecom companies. all of them were open networks. but i just cant connect. I can still connect to my home wifi.

Its not a ROM issue. i have tried several ROMs. I have never changed my baseband, mac address or anything like that.

Is it possible that my hardware is damaged? (but i can connect to my home wifi, which is also open) Or my mac address/phone number is "globally blocked"? (i had tried hotspots of different telecom companies. nd i dont know if theres a way to get my phone number by just trying to connect to a wifi)

Or have they installed something like "connect only with laptops"? does anything like that exist?

[HTC One X] willhub:
I'm absolutely baffled that I'm the only one apparently suffering from this.

At first it was ok, now, no matter what ROM or base, the signal quality is terrible.

Where my HTC Sensation was getting full bars, or constant HSDPA (I rarely ever seen 3G), this One X is either getting 3G, G or E, which means no web pages will load or anything, very terrible.

It's making me consider "downgrading to upgrade", because the only time I can browse the net happily is either very close to Wi-Fi source, or where HSDPA is very strong, so I will just about get HSDPA then.

Other people must be suffering from this?????

The only plus with the One X is in my village I find it easier to get 1-2 bars and a bit of G.

Thanks.

Talk Mobile??? What's their coverage like?

Do you know what your Radio is? Try flashing a few different radio's to see if that helps?
[HTC One X] willhub:
Talk Mobile is on the Vodaphone network.

I've never attempted to flash a different radio, in fact I've never even seen a list of radios, as far as I knew they were included in the actual ROMs now.
[HTC One X] The-Last-Hylian:
I didn't know that :D

Afaik some of the Devs have access to different radio's, Try asking Mike1986 from ARHD or Football to see if they can help you.

I'm sure that I've seen some threads about flashing different radios to fix signal problems before, I think to see Mike1986 posting about it when I used to frequent the HTC Sensation's Android Development threads.
[HTC One X] PhilipL:
Hi

It is probably a hardware fault with the phone. If your HTC Sensation is getting a good signal with the same SIM/network provider, and your HTC One X isn't, then I suspect a fault, perhaps internal antenna connection issues that have plagued Wi-Fi. Try gently squeezing the phone with your thumb over the home key and fingers underneath and see if reception improves.

There is also an internal cable that may not have been attached correctly in the phone to the antenna, either way it is back for a repair.

I can't see way a software would be to blame.

Why a old sim product a bad signal ??

How strange !!!
[HTC One X] masrterk:
vodafone replace my old SIM card for a new one

and the reception problem has been solved

Because the micro chip of old sim cards and different and they work if cutted for micro sim but very bad

old Sim cards are not ready for micro sim phones

New micro sim cards have a smaller "chip" and the y have a better 3G reception

problem solved :D
[HTC One X] willhub:
I'm using the micro SIM that was provided.

The signal reception bars are never really different, it's just the phones inability to hold a decent HSDPA connection, constantly flicking from 3G, G and E, so I'm loading a website on HSDPA, as soon as it flicks to 3G, loading stops because the connection is far too slow.

I do have the Wi-Fi issue, if the signal is not full on, so I'm a bit away from the router, the wireless is just cutting out all the time, was not like this with HTC Sensation.

I don't really know about getting it sent in for repair I won't have a phone then!
[HTC One X] Rusty!:
If you get 3G, then you get H, they are the same technology.

What you will find, however, is that the One X supports fast dormancy, so the data connection will sit on 3G until H is needed, then switch, then drop back to 3G when it's not.
[HTC One X] maxilick:
you guys tried flashing different radios?
[HTC One X] willhub:
Is it fast dormancy causing the problems then? How can I disable it?

I can't flash different radios as it's very hard to find different radios for the One X
[HTC One X] Rusty!:
Apparently you have to to change the build.prop to disable it:

ro.ril.fast.dormancy.rule=0
[HTC One X] PhilipL:
Hi

The SIM card doesn't control reception, that is a myth. The SIM card is just like the chip in your credit card, it holds a number and some data to identify you to the mobile phone network.

The problems a self cut or old SIM my cause is that it doesn't connect very well to the phone, this means your phone thinks the SIM card has been removed and gives you "No Service" or Emergency only calls.

The only other time the SIM card may make you think it is affecting reception and giving you a lower signal is if you are roaming and it you don't have an up to date roaming list, usually though this is updated over the air anyway, a new SIM card may allow you to roam onto nearer cells so you see a better signal.

A bad SIM will not knock a couple of a bars off your reception, in the same way a bad credit card doesn't give you less credit limit.

I wouldn't read too much into the "location" of your mast. 20 miles isn't that far. If you go 200 miles away, people will think you're from Leeds.

Your postcode starts YO8, yes? as in York, which is 15 miles away.

It's fairly arbitrary how you slice up the country and name the sections.

I live near a village called Cawood, and on the Vodafone network the reception is very bad, no signal most of the time, lucky if I can get a data connection. Think it's same with all phones.
