[Galaxy S I9000 General] kooltiger1988:
I recently upgraded from 4.1.2 stock to 5.1.1 lollipop custom. then after a week downgraded to custom rom revolution hd. After this sim is not working. IMEI is there when I check *#06#. But network not registered error.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] fleebleflam:
What about MediaTek devices, were would the IMEI info be? Would it be the same efs partition or would it be named different?

I made a TWRP backup including system image, but when i tried to restore, my phone just hangs.

After flashing another custom Rom, when i booted i have no IMEI's!

Even when i flash back to the latest stock Rom for my device, they are still gone. Is there a way to recover them from the backup i made?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] boswelja:
I just flashed many different ROMs on my i9000, the IMEI is still intact, but it won't connect to any network, it doesn't even work on the stock ROMs anymore, can anyone help?

just bought it for $30. it worked great. so i download rom manager and flash the clockwork recovery because i am really dumb.

i think it still gets into software update or emergency mode, the screen is blank but the buttons light up and in KD500 i CAN flash a bin file to 95% but then it cuts out saying phone disconnected, as the phone reboots it just hangs on LG logo.

ive tried lgpnst but it claims at 0% MASTERBIN DOWNLOAD "NUMBER OF BAD BLOCKS EXCEED LIMIT. PLEASE REPLACE FLASH"

i have spent 16 hours now trying to fix a $30 phone. please stop me guys. either give me a solution or tell me to shove this up my... ahem nevermind
[Optimus V Android Development] bluespoon4:
It sounds like there's something wrong with the flash memory in the phone. If that's the case then it's not really your fault, it would've gone anyway. Have you tried booting into recovery and flashing something?

By the way, you posted in the wrong forum, this belongs in Q&A
[Optimus V Android Development] resinis:
it wont go into recovery, it just pops up the LG logo and sits there

at first, right after i flashed the bad recovery, i could do the emergency boot sequence (hold backspace and vol down, insert usb). up would pop the SW update mode.

so i did that, and tried the stock LG updater, but it wouldnt keep talking. so i tried the KD500 method, and it appreared to work but thats where im at now. even if i boot into SW update mode, its just a blank screen now, but it will still connect to KD500 and seemingly flash a bin just fine. however when the phone reboots at the end it just lights up the dumb lg logo and sits there.

its just frustrating. i know its not the end of the world, just man. ugh :D maybe its the wrong cabs? ive tried LS670ZVC_11.SC_11.P60674.cab and such... 75, 70...they all do the same thing
[Optimus V Android Development] bluespoon4:

yeah, and it seems i can get that mode to work, however i do not believe i have the right kdz.

thing is, when i try to follow the links to download the original firmware from lg, i cant get anywhere....

ill keep trying. i really think if i just had the right kdz it will work
[Optimus V Android Development] resinis:
AAAAAAAAAnnnnnnnnnnnd thats a wrap.

i finally found the right cab i think. i used an LG firmware update app found here on xda.

but i guess the firmware gods did not want this phone alive. during the update, i left for the store. came back, and my laptop wasnt charging, sending it to sleep during the update.

total brick now. no emergency mode. no lg logo. just buttons light up thats it. no communication with the pc at all.

its dead. rip little optimus.

**Update. Just bought a Sanyo Zio for $19.98 shipped off the bay. lets see how fast i can screw this one up!
[Optimus V Android Development] resinis:
ha! trying to get my droid x off ics this morning.

BRICKED as well

at least i still got the bootloader!

i forgot then when you do the ota .621 update you NEVER go back. no matter what you flash, youll always be a .621 phone. SO USE .621 CUSTOM ROMS YOU IDIOT

and youre lucky you didnt fry this droid by trying to program it with a dead battery!

sheesh! idiots! (me!) :cyclops:
[Optimus V Android Development] resinis:
OK. one last thing.

i had another droid X that has been sitting around for months. i couldnt get it out of bootloader. everything i tried made it worse. it wouldnt even take the linux sbf .621 flash that worked on my other dx's. i really thought it was toast.

but today, i ran across the signed and verified moto stock rom for .621 while i was trying to fix my everyday DX. so i said, "WTF". i flashed the old dx in windows rsd because thats supposedly supposed to flash the radio too.

well, whatever it did, IT WORKED. i am almost in tears right now. this phone is MINT. like brand new, bought it for $40 because the last guy couldnt get it to flash either.

the whole time, it just wanted a verified moto rom!

one more sbf flash to a rooted .621 rom, and bingo. i have a like new fully rooted dx!!!!!!! I cant help but brag! i spent so many hours on this thing!

I could jump through the roof right now!:good::good::good: two droid x phones for less then $80 total! just hours and hours of pulling hair too hahaha
[Optimus V Android Development] rr0yy:
I should have seen this before.. I know a good place for optimus s.

[Optimus V Android Development] resinis:
no i said STOP me!

guess what? i had the battery on an external charger the other day. one last time, i put it in the phone and hooked it up to my laptop. BUH BUM! it connected!

so i quick tried to flash the verified verizon rom. it seemed to take, but again it does not boot up.

HOWEVER, i do now have the S/W upgrade screen back! i dont think this phone is dead yet! its such a joke to keep trying for a $30 phone, but man it bugs me that a simple software problem is keeping this thing from being at least a good mp3 player!

edit- ive seen most of those links though. my problem is i dont have the stock recovery on this phone, and to flash that you need to adb into it... which i cant! I truly believe if i could find the right KDZ file for my phone it would work! all the links i find are for optimus V's! i have an optimus S, model US670 which is VERY hard to find roms for.

i used the LG update app found on xda here, and it downloads an SBF file. even if i change the extension to KDZ it doesnt work! file extract error every time. i need to find my KDZ for this phone and i just know it will work!

Not sure if this is common or not but I have tried everything I can think of, and I don't see anything.

I have a Samsung Galaxy s3 (brand new, stock build) but everytime I put in an sdcard The settings>storage still says I need to insert it.

I have resigned myself to it being a hardware issue, but I would really like a more pragmatic response

WTF man after 4 years I break with my n1 for this?!?!?!

I am told the phone was on contract to 3 network and althought it has been unlocked the shop man wondered if there was a feature set into the phone by 3 so that reader doesnt work when the phone is unlocked form their network.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
In order to install CM9 on SD you need to make sure you have the newer image file so that the zip will fit on the boot partition and the duplicate gapps issue is resolved. You can get the latest image by going to my tip thread linked in my signature.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RASTAVIPER:
Want to have the option to test CM9 in a separate sd card and use it whenever you like?

Grab yourself a new sd card and install the Dual Boot Rom from Racks. Then you can install his Script and put to each boot whichever Cm7 or CM9 you want.

[General Questions and Answers] naddie:
I searched but did not find and answer.

Quick question: why does gapps have different words in place of Emergency? This is when you first flash a ROM and gapps and all data is cleared.

I've seen it say Mother, Father, SIM PIN, NetMeeting, etc. On a stock Nexus phone, it would simply say Emergency.
[General Questions and Answers] naddie:
Bump. This was scrolled off the 1st page relatively quick!

[General Questions and Answers] gagdude:
Never heard of this before. Have any screenies?
[General Questions and Answers] naddie:
Sorry, been on vacation. I'll try to get a screenshot, but I'd have to delete all data to get to that point (and must be on CM or some other AOSP ROM).

You can reproduce this by clearing all data (or resetting to factory default), then reboot. As with any Android phone, when you first boot up brand new, you are asked to enter information. You also get the Emergency or Emergency Call button (in case you need to call emergency before you set up the phone) at the bottom.

To reproduce what I see, you would need to be on an AOSP ROM (such as AOPK, CM9, CM10, etc) which requires you to flash a separate Gapps. Instead of the usual "Emergency" button, it would say things like "Mother", "Father", "NetMeeting".... random stuff. I wonder if it's the people who packaged the Gapps just having fun....

Hello All,

Starting from a couple days ago, my S3 started to display, in the notification area, a "T-Mobile update service". This notification can only be delayed a maximum of 1 day, after which it kept re-popping up.

I have just finally rooted my S3 and got all my settings and adjustments to my liking, and I'm afraid that after the update I would need to re do everything again. I'm wondering if there is a way to update it without affecting my current settings, root and etc. Does anyone knows if the update is root-able? Thanks all for all the help!

I had the same issue over the past couple days and the annoying notification prompted me to do something.

This is thread is the solution to your exact problem: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1842142&highlight=counter

Basically, you have to revert back to stock recovery if you have cwm(like me) so flash that in pda with odin. Then updating didn't work for me via the phone (failed), so I had to download kies (from the link) and reboot pc, and connect phone and download. Root keeper didn't work for me. I also lost google wallet. But from this step on you can use the nontripping flash method which was updated here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1771687

and download custom recovery. Apparently even if you trip the counter though,(which you won't) you can triangle away app to get rid of it. Good luck! btw.. brightness toggle is added to the notification. Worth it for that alone!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Its been covered quitte a bit actually.if you dont want the update just let it attempt and fail and it should go away.

Other options are deleting the fwupgrade.apk and fotaclient.apk. also delete the downloaded ota located at /cache/fota (I think im remembering the location correctly).

Note: The update may fail either due to a custom recovery or running a deodexed rom. Root alone shouldn't prevent it.
