[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BazoukaJo:
Hi, I was wondering if anyone can help me.

My tablet is unable to mount my /efs directory, or whatever. And while I don't know if they are directly connected,

things like my lock screen, holding my power button to get options like Flight Mode, Data Network, Restart, Etc., is gone. And I have tried screen lock to work, it doesn't. Holding my power button shuts my tablet down (in the same amount of

time that holding it would normally bring up the options screen, as well). I also loose completely my 3g, no matter wish successfully installed rom I run. I am not new to flashing rom at all and navigate trough all kind of step regarding specifics to rom by heart. All I can remember was to try the latest Android 4.1.1 - CyanogenMod 10 Preview and failed to load it, I was stuck in the boot animation for half an hour. So I decide to go back to the new stuck 4.0.4 from my provider. That is where I found the problem. Since, I have try 4.0.4 stuck, 4.04 rooted. The problem occur the same way in every rom and everything else was juste fine. I try the 3.1 stuck and 3.2 stuck and the message E: failed to mount /efs appear when rebooting from odin install.Never been able to load any version of the latest 4.1.1 from pershot. I have found a thread about the same issues from another device http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1766748. I pass the entire day reading the web for solution, but no cigars so far.

I have the a Telus samsung galaxy tab 10.1 3g.

Thanks in advance if you have any idea how to resolve the /efs mounting problem.

I will added these picture to show that I have lost all important information that is apparently store in some file inside this /efs folder. Apparently this folder as been corrupt when flashing the CyanogenMod 10 Preview especially made for my tablet. So my new question would be to ask.

Do anyone know how to restore this folder even if I have no backup of it?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] curious_simpleton:
on off on off

try to copy the content of the efs folder with any root browser. it will have files and folders like in the screenshot atached.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] curious_simpleton:
Solved.

i had exactly the same problem. Was working on it for the last two days (ofcourse i am a simpleton and rookie :) )

But yes at last the phone is fixed and working fine with all the parameters.

So dont worry dear. Try to follow these steps : -

1. flash a rom using odin or heimdall - either stock or Cyanogenmod. You can check the repartition if using with the pit file.

2. Root your phone if not already rooted

3. Install busybox

4. Install kTool.apk (Its a small and wonderful apk. Freely available)

5. Install any file manager that supports root browsing

6. Make a backup of your efs with the help of kTool.apk (Its simple)

7. Decompress your earlier backup and copy all the files in the root efs folder with the root explorer

8. Now rename the one that you decompressed the files from as efs.img and copy it into the internal sdcard root

9. Now retore the egs.img using the kTool.apk

This will solve the problem i guess.

Good luck

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BazoukaJo:
No file in /efs folder, and no backup

Thanks a lot for the answer guys, but unfortunately there is nothing inside my /efs folder. It's completely empty and therefore I can't copy it, move it backup it,or anything. I also have no backup of this folder. As I understand some file in this folder contain the super important information of my own system like IEME, Serial, etc... So my concern is more like is there is a way to restore this folder even if it doesn't exist. I think the answer is no and the only solution for me is to send it back to Samsung with the stuck roms from my provider and hope for them to not deny the repair so I won't have to pay. I wonder if there is other thing to do but I am pretty sure not. If someone know something let me know. I have already contact Samsung and tell them that my 3g is broken and some strange behavior occur during OTA update. They are going to send me something for me to send the tablet for reparation. Til then I really want to know if there is something I don't understand and if there is still hope. Anyway thanks in advance for anyone who know better then me.

Hi all :)

Can anyone help me to find a PDF or something like this with the pin-out of our tablet?

I know it has 30 pin but we really use 3 or 4 of these

We know that USB otg use the same port as USB connection from tablet to PC

We also know that the ac adaptor and USB supply use the same pin, so this are the pin of the tab:

2 pin used for data (D+ and D- from computer connection or a USB mass storage or a microsd with adaptor)

2 pin used for charge the battery, also know as positive and negative

Where are the other 26 pin?!?!

I think they don't change the connector because some people upgrade from galaxy tab to galaxy tab 2 but, it's so annoying that there isn't an HDMI output or a standard output for who want to create apps dedicated to our tablet or other stuff :(

I'm sure that the other pin are connected to the OMAP4430 CPU which contain the GPU core (SoC)

SoC OMAP4430 diagram

I'm very interesting help the community to know 100% our tablet and I'm sure you can help me to find just a pin-out ;)

Thanks people

This is the forum for the AT&T version of the Samsung Galaxy S2 (SGH-I777). You have a Samsung Galaxy S2 I9100.

You should browse this forum: http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1055

Hope this helps. Sorry other people only pointed out faults rather than helping. I recommend reading all the sticky notes regarding rooting before you ask questions. Do your research before you attempt anything. Best of luck rooting the phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Phalanx7621:
The reason most point out the fail is simple. The different forums have words differentiating one phone from another.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Slavestate:
Yeah XDA is pretty easy to navigate if you actually bother spending like 2 minutes reading.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] india23:
I understand that. However, there is no reason for anyone to rude about it. It would have taken an extra 2 seconds to tell OP why his post was a "Fail". I get every new comer to XDA will ask the same questions over and over. If you (not you Phalanx7621 directly, I mean users here in general) don't have anything to post that will solve OPs issue, why bother wasting your time posting anything?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ricktherick:
Because responses like that should push people to read more. Also, its not a big deal just grow thicker skin.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] india23:
So responses like:

push people to read more? At this point why bother spending time to post that you will not be saying anything. It adds nothing to the conversation.

Whatever man. All I wanted to convey was that even though OP posted in the wrong forum, there should still be some level of decency to tell OP why, even if the latter sentence is "Fail on so many levels" and have a mod close this thread.

Request for Mods: OP posted this in the wrong forum. Please close this thread. Thank You.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Phalanx7621:
We do report threads. But maybe you don't realize how often this happens. Its irritating to us because it could have been avoided by simply looking to see what forum you're in. which isn't really too much to ask. I agree, extremely rude responses aren't appropriate, but everything most of us say is light hearted and not meant to be taken too seriously:)

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kuplet:
Recently tried flashing different roms on my Galaxy Note. Now that I'm done, I'm having problems restoring my contact list which I backed up using Kies.

My Note is on ICS 4.0.4 and I can't connect to Kies. I know a lot of people have encountered the same problem. How do I get Kies to recognize my Note again? Used to work fine before I upgraded.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eng.rego:
Uninstall kies completely, then install new updated kies from Samsung website,u can also use another usb port (main ports like rear ones) ,for the contacts if they are backed to google just make sync,if not u can import the csv file directly from ur google account-contacts -import, then make sync or wait for it.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YLNdroid:
Hello kuplet, a relatively hassle free method of keeping a backup of your contacts without using Samsung Kies is,

Contacts > Menu key > Import/Export > Export to SD card.

The backup of your contacts will be saved in your external storage (memory card) as a .vcf file.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sahilarora2003:
+!

Or

Just sync with your google account. You will never loose your contacts for life until you delete them manually :D

@kuplet.

Make sure USB debugging is disabled in Settings>Developers Options>USB Debugging.

Cheers
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
Above thing works to backup, OP doesn't have contacts on his device, above mentioned trick works if he already have backup with Import/export function or he had already sync contacts to google server.

instead OP have backup his contact to kies

Though no words from OP since creating thread, he might have manage to get device connected. still writing here solution if someone have same situation.

Here is solution.

1.Open kies (dont worry if you unable to connect)

2.Select contacts - Open contact backup file (spb format)

3.Now you can see contacts on page

4. Create a folder e.g. Contacts (on desktop PC)

5.Now from kies screen where you can see all contacts - select all

6.select Save as and browse to folder you have create, Now it will give option to save in spb, dont do that but just add .vcf in file name.

7.All contacts will be there in new folder

8.Copy contacts folder to SD card

9.From device open contact - menu - import/export - import from (select USB storage/Ext Sd depend on you put contact folder)

10.select multiple/all vcf file

Done !

PS : Let me know smthing missing, except to install driver I never using Kies :p
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kuplet:
Sorry for the later reply guys.

@sahilarora2003

I tried unchecking usb debugging and the Kies prompts me to "check it" again before it tries to connect to my Galaxy Note. In short, the Kies doesn't want to run with my device without the usb debugging unchecked.

@Dr ketan

Trying it now and hopefully it works. You have any suggestions on how can restore my text messages? Made the mistake of just backing it up via Kies. I should have used backup and restore. Lastly, whats the best way to backup contacts, etc since Kies is so unreliable.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
Use titanium backup with schedule (find link to thread how to keep device up to date on my signature)

Text msgs i think won't work, but do try this

Rename your SMS backup file SMS.sme to SMS.xml

Install SMS backup restore app fro market, copy above renamed file to SMSbackuprestore fiolder (creates automatically once you install this app) and open that application and try to restore by pointing that file. I doubt it work or not, it depends on format which kies uses.

Hi guys, after a little cruising around the forums I managed to get my galaxy s2 working just how I want! I have a question though... whenever I do a battery pull or restart my phone the battery life shoots down like crazy!? Does anyone else's i777 do this? Is it normal or do I need to fox something.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] LongDuckDong:
You should not pull the battery out while the phone is on. Holding the power button for about 20 seconds achieves the same result. Hope this helps
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dsmboost:
This is something I think all of our phones experience. The way I understand it is a bug in our battery's fuel gauge, the battery level does not actually drop, but the phone just mistakenly reads it that way. I've read a few posts where if you remove your battery for a couple minutes and then charge the phone to a 100% after putting it back in, it recalibrates things. It seems to work for me until I flash other roms, but I cannot confirm 100% if it really does work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sajjt:
Very true and sometimes its very frustrating to see a drop from 40% to less than 10% right after a reboot.

Will some battery calibrating apps can fix this?

p.s. I'm testing version 3.2.3 on ICS I don't think data is being backed up and restored correctly...though it should. The dev says you do NOT need root for this app, but if you do have root, more options are available.

Have fun!

Thanks for the comments, I think idea-sharing is needed for this!

I just bought my Sola :victory: so will have it next week. I'm trying to find the right backup to backup my apps and data to restore on the Sola. I don't particularly want to unlock the bootloader just yet. From what I can see, for now, it's a bit of a problem for Sola users at least. I think it's a lot of trouble to go to to just use root apps like Titanium Backup.

Any other apps you know of?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] SharpnShiny:
Another option: http://www.moborobo.com/

I'm testing it now...it has an app backup and restore (data also) to your computer, then back to a phone of your choice...even outside Android. It also updates apps on your phone, it has a market also.

Update: ok an app did not restore data that I tested. It does not say that in the FAQ section. :(

P.s. I just contacted Sony for more information on the warranty. They indicated that most issues they are getting are related to unlocking the bootloader, so in most cases, warranty will be voided. With this in mind, I will avoid the bootloader...I'm not ruining a new phone with 2 year warranty for root access.

READ BEFORE FLASHING

This is for use on SGH-T989 ROMs, mainly for unlocked users running a T-Mobile sim who want the full T-Mobile experience (such as Wifi Calling, ect)

If you are like me and unlocked your AT&T Skyrocket for use on T-Mobile, you probably want a T-Mobile native ROM. The problem is when you flash a kernel designed for the SGH-T989, your orientation gets messed up.

If you flash a SGH-I727 ICS Kernel over the SGH-T989 ROM, your orientation works properly again, but your camera may stop working, and your HW Accelerated videos (such as YouTube) may invert their colors.

The SGH-T989 kernels work perfectly on our devices with a SGH-T989 rom, with the exception of the orientation issue.

This kernel is a modification to faux123's great ICS SGH-T989 kernel, simply to restore proper orientation sensor values on our I727 device.

This should allow you to enjoy a SGH-T989 ROM with proper orientation, working camera, and normal colors on videos.

However, this was only tested with the SGH-T989 UVLE1 Infamous Resurrection ROM (v1.0). If you find any issues I may have missed please let me know (preferably with a dmesg and logcat), and I will try to fix them.

If this kernel has helped you, please hit thanks. Also be sure to thank faux in his thread.

If you want to donate, donate to faux. I'm not accepting donations for this kernel, as it is just a few patches to his hard work.

Version History:

zefie-mod-v001 (git-c7f41c504cea05d18fe02b45d9ec590676eb2803)

Based off of faux123's SGH-T989 ICS v011 kernel (including OC)

Orientation patched for SGH-I727

Hardware acceleration working

Both cameras working

Volume pre-amp boosted (from SGH-T989 defaults to SGH-I727 defaults)

Boot animation support

Enabled additional governors: brazilianwax, intellidemand, lulzactive (ondemand is default)
