Why do we have to backup the /efs system? Or rather what is so important about it?

BTW: i googled it and it says it contains the IMEI number but we dont need that, because we dont have a mobile phone, right? :D
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] daniel644:
You have to back it up because the MTD conversion wipes it out. the reason it's important is because it contains your wifi mac address, bluetooth mac address and your serial number, and if you go back to factory (GB builds) without a backup you will lose your lockscreen, power menu, and atleast for me my computer will ONLY see my players internal and sdcard when USB debugging is enabled (its supposed to be the other way around). there has been a recent development on a method to restore a completely lost efs (like I was) and it can fix the lockscreen and power menu issues, but just do yourself a favor and back it up.

Coming from someone who has lost there's, you don't want to lose it.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] daniel644:
Since the home button doesn't work on US versions could we possibly do softkeys in the next build?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] hanthesolo:
Home button's an easy fix, shouldn't be hard to implement on the next kernel (which should also include fixed gl and such).
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] goldflame09:
Can we have an option for that or too difficult?

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
What do you mean by an option?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] goldflame09:
An option to be able to turn on and off the soft keys like the nexus has

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
It's possible but it's not something that we will do. Maybe if someone wants to make a custom rom, he can add them.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Supermaster34:
I could make a flashable zip to enable the softkeys. The only problem is that it will have the same long install procedure as the cm9 rom
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
Well the CWM6 port is almost done. (the gadget drivers has been updated, now it's some errors relating to partitioning that needs to be done). With CWM6, it's a whole new thing. I gurantee it, (and you can experience it in your N7 ;))
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] daniel644:
has there been any progress on the deep sleep bug?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] hanthesolo:
We're currently in the process of revamping the entire kernel, so I am assuming that that, along with some other minor bugs may/will be fixed in the aries files we're trying to use.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] goldflame09:
will the new kernel be a cm7 or cm9 kernal or is it just custom made?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
Well it's a kernel based on tdm's based one. You can see it here:

Can I put this on my YP-GS1(US) without messing it up
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] trainman261:
Nope, this is for the YP-G1 only - it's also fairly old and unsupported, as far as I know.

I am honestly curious where hanthesolo has gone... he did quite a bit of awesome work, in the mean time we have a really awesome JB rom, and he seems to have just disappeared...
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
He sold his device to buy an ipod long time ago... I guess he made an announcement on this though.

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] hanthesolo:
Jesus, it's been awhile since I've been here. I did sell my Gplayer for an Ipod, but one of my friends is giving his old 4.0 away so there's a decent chance I may be able to come back in some degree so help (although I have a lot going on IRL, my build laptop's long been formatted over, and someone definitely needs to help me come back up to speed).

So, what've I missed?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] trainman261:
Wow, we are reuniting again! Or, maybe I should exclude myself from you guys, because I didn't really do any work on this, other than the couple of logs I submitted :o

As to what has happened in the mean time, we have CM10.2 on our players, and many bugs are squashed - the back camera is (pretty much) fully functional, the front camera is almost there, we have the 3.0 kernel, and the bug where one speaker was louder than the other that came with that kernel has been fixed. Now it's a matter of smaller issues, but all I have to say is that it's pretty amazing what the devs have been working on - zaclimon, goldflame, and whoever else has been working on this have done an amazing job. It's nice and smooth - still surprisingly smooth after I've run over it with all my apps and other things - and it's definitely more stable than GB was.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] goldflame09:
wow nice to see you back. [MENTION=4217103]zaclimon[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4000778]bbelos[/MENTION] have done an OUTSTANDING job keeping our device up to speed. Would be awesome to see you come back to this small community
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
Its been a long time, nice to see you back long story short here :

Got the help of a dev named [MENTION=4000778]bbelos[/MENTION]

We got cm10 working with full 3.0 kernel support

Them cm10.1 came along

CM10.2 too and now I'm working on cm11.

Welcome back man! I think you'll find the player has become 10x better than when you left, thanks to Zac's and bbelos's amazing work.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] hanthesolo:
Awesome! Glad to see most of the pitfalls I was working on when I left have been fixed/implemented, and what we set in motion 6 months ago is finally nearing completion.

Awesome! What you guys have done here in the last few months is lightyears beyond what I thought we would ever accomplish, cool that such an old device is still keeping up.

Sounds good. It looks like everything we were beginning to work on fixing when I left has finally been implemented, with a helluva lot of extra stuff too! Is our github repo still working/up to date? I'll definitely flash everything up in the next couple of days once I redownload everything I need, and get myself back up to speed. Also, idk how much I can help with development as I don't have a lot of time IRL anymore, but i'll definitely stick around for awhile at least, answer any questions you guys have, and help out wherever I can.

Thanks man, I sure hope so. Looks like everything we began working on when I left has finally reached completion, or at least most of the hard stuff's done.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
Hmm we stopped using supernova's repo once bbelos came over, here's his github where all the stuff is done:

https://github.com/bbelos

Also the installation process is much more easier than what it was at the time. LOOL :p
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] trainman261:
Holy.... I completely forgot bbelos! :o My apologies :o
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stierney:
Ok. Announced then delayed then nothing.. Now Noknok are releasing wireless charging with their latest lumia. Where is my s3 wireless mod???

I'm hoping it's Sammy holding back until after the iPhone 5 launch so they will have two functions the next fruit phone won't have (nfc being the other)

Nokia have gone with the qi standard from what I gather so come on Sammy, pick a standard and get an official product out there so I can dump my cables :)

More of a tongue in cheek post. But if anyone has any info on wireless charging related to the s3 could they let us know? It's all gone a bit quiet on the news front apart from a few rumours about q4 this year but I'd like some sort of concrete indication on dates...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sean88:
If you don’t mind the lack of Samsung’s official branding, you can now purchase a wireless charging pad for your Samsung Galaxy S3, and for other compatible Android phones, from Verizon’s website. Verizon is charging – pun intended – $50 for the wireless charging pad.

The charging pad comes with a LED indicator that will emit a flickering green light when you’re charging the phone, and a solid light when it has completely replenished the phone’s battery. It will also emit a beeping sound when you place the phone or when it’s stopped charging – a feature that apparently can’t be turned off.

You’ll need more than the charging station to make that wire-free charging fantasy of yours a reality. A separate purchase of the wireless charging battery cover for your Galaxy S3 is needed. The inductive back cover, which reportedly cost $39, is a genuine Samsung product. Hmm, this explains why it’s rather pricey. The whole set up will set you back $89.

We just checked and saw that the wireless charging kit is unfortunately listed as out of stock on Verizon’s website. You can try again in a couple hours – or days even – to see if Big Red has more stock. Alternatively, you can check with your local Verizon stores to see if they have the complete kit lying about.

If you want something a tiny bit more affordable and don’t mind waiting for a good month or so, Zens plans to release its own take of wireless charger for the Galaxy S3 in September – with the bundled charging pad and back cover to cost $83.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Mockingbird946:
I went from the 9/8 build to the 9/10 build, and the Recent Apps hardware key does absolutely nothing, no matter what function i assign it in system settings (very annoying not having a Menu button!). Tried flashing multiple times, re-downloading multiple times, flash boot.img, fix permissions, wipe cache/dalvik, etc. Nothing fixes it. Flashed back to the 9/8 build and everything works like a charm. Anyone else having this issue?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BeerMit:
Came here to investigate the same thing, except I went from 9/7 to 9/10, looks like we're having the same problem tho. Initially neither the app-switch button or long pressing home worked. Ran fix permissions from twrp and got the long press home working again. You think reverting to an earlier build would fix it?

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rxpert:
As always......

If you dirty flash and have issues.... do a full wipe. Making bug reports on a dirty flash doesn't help anyone. If the problem persists after a clean wipe then I'd like to know about it
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Mockingbird946:
My apologies, i guess i just learned the hard way what the definitions of clean and dirty flashing are. Sorry to waste your time, and thank you for the learning experience! (And for not tearing me a new(b) one!!!)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rxpert:
This is still useful for others that have dirty flashed and will experience issues.

But now you know to do a clean wipe if you run into issues after dirty flashing :highfive:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kaos420:
Not a problem I actually dirty flashed up. Always do then if I have a issue. I clean install to make sure it's not my end. Usually fixes things.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] om4:
Since these are nightlies you should do a clean install or factory reset after flashing
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Mockingbird946:
Thanks again! Your guidance is greatly appreciated. Looking forward to clean flash when i get home!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Mockingbird946:
Alright, so I rebooted into TWRP 2.2.2.0 and did wipe cache, wipe dalvik, factory reset, and wipe system, in that order. I then flashed from my SD card CM10 nightly 9/10 and gapps jb. Cleared cache/dalvik. Booted up, ran fix permissions. Still no luck; recent apps hard key still doesn't do anything (yes, I went in to system settings and set the key functions,) but it does vibrate when touched. Did I miss a step somewhere?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kaos420:
Idk basically what I've done. Mine all works. Flash the 0911 build in irc then

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] om4:
I suppose you could try a wipe script as they are written to erase all possible data that could cause unintended side effects with a new flash
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] TW1L1GHT_K1N6:
Had the same problem going from 9/8 to 9/10 but I just went into the settings and changed the hard key functions. Then everything was all goodie goodie again
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Mockingbird946:
Ok. Did a superwipe 3 times, clean install 9/10 build, changed system settings hard key function, still doesnt work. I'm downloading the 9/12 build so hopefully i get better results with that one.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Jamesyboy:
This phone might be sold, or given to someone who needs it completely stock, so my question is, how do i flash the stock recover/rom/kernel/etc, and relock the bootloader? Nothing has popped up under similar threads, and searches of the development section turned up nothing.

Gimme a hand
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
Relock bootloader with fastboot oem lock

Then run the ruu. Run 1.85 if you're on at&t
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
Keep in mind, it cannot be made completely stock. It will say RELOCKED on the bootloader screen, instead of LOCKED.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] mrbillishere:
Does that replace Recovery mode app too (back to stock) ??
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
yes.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Jamesyboy:
Since my specialty has been Winmo, Samsung, and ASUS devices, I'm not too familiar with those. Is there a tutorial or thread available for this? Or for more info? I assume the RUU is installed from the stock recovery, right? Returning to stock on the devices I used, usually involved flashing the stock recovery, then wiping/doing a factory reset from the stock recovery.

Mad props for the concise instructions.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] kancherlapraneeth:
1) connect your phone to PC

2) Ensure your pc has android sdk and usb debugging is enabled on your device

3) open command prompt -- Navigate to folder having android-sdk/platform-tools

4) run command "fastboot oem lock" - This should lock your bootloader

5) Place 1.85 RUU on root directory of your storage ( rename it as PH98IMG.ZIP )

6) Reboot to bootloader and it should read the RUU file.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Jamesyboy:
Awesome, it's just an ADB command. Can I use the 1.85 update? I think I've been updated since I first wrote this via the cleaning aroma installer. Do I need to use that RUu, the one I used when I unlocked it? Or can I use whatever is the latest.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Jamesyboy:
So do i place the 1.85 ruu (exe file?) on the device (named ph98img.zip), reboot into the bootloader, and it will do the rest automatically? Or do i have to choose an option in the bootloader?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Jamesyboy:
i think the aroma installer from Cleanrom updated my ruu, so i assume i have to use the latest version. WIll try that.

If you have any info, please share.

=D
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Jamesyboy:
i seem to be having issues with ADB-- it says "waiting for device".
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Jamesyboy:
I rebooted into the bootloader, and it's displaying "tampered, relocked"

So it seems, i've relocked the bootloader, i copied the 2.20 ruu over, and renamed it what i was supposed to, but the phone doesn't boot now. I've tried going to "recovery" from the bootloader menu, and i've tried "factory reset". Nothing's happening though.

You can't
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] yungskeeme:
mine is doing the same thing
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] DvineLord:
the renaming of the ruu is incorrect, you can rename the rom.zip inside maybe and have it work that way.

best to just boot into bootloader and run "fastboot oem lock" then run the ruu and follow the steps.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
This is an old thread from 3 months ago, the the original OP was confusing a lot of the terms and steps, so I would caution against doing anything he did, or chiming in on the thread and saying "my phone is doing the same". I'd suggest sticking to the other thread you started, and not confusing things more by posting here, too.

[Motorola Photon 4G] photon4glover:
I'm going to sound like a troll but I had my photon from day one to last Friday and loved it so much! Not one negative thing especially with CM9 but was getting bored with android having done literally everything you can think of so I switched to iPhone 4 and while I still love android this phone is really nice and I love apps, idk it just works
[Motorola Photon 4G] kurtcocaine:
Well thats comparing an official company released rom vs an unofficial community made rom without proper driver support so I hardly think that's fair. I'm sure i'd be just as happy if i went from the photon to the gnex or someother phone with jb which "just works"

That said, I'm happy you're enjoying your new phone but dont really understand the reason behind opening this thread.

[Motorola Photon 4G] Lokifish Marz:
If you can't or don't want to change/hack/tweak your phone then of course it's going to "just work" if set up correctly by the manufacturer or developer. To paraphrase Woz, if you don't want to think about your phone, just don't care about full potential or tech scares/confuses you then the iPhone is great.

To me the iPhone nothing more than a really expensive "feature phone" which I find way to limiting. (And yes I do own one but never use it for that very reason)
[Motorola Photon 4G] shabbypenguin:
i always tell people to pick wp7 over IOS if they want a less "hard" phone, its just as simple but isnt as stupid :P

in fact only reasoni havent picked up a wp is cuz there isnt crap on sprint :/
[Motorola Photon 4G] photon4glover:
Well right I figured I have 9 months left on contract so I'll try something different, and will be going back to android and I always end up in arguments with people explaining why to go android or why they should get it vs iOS and I think to be fair I need to try other side of the rainbow

read that Iphone 5 will be available for sprint. I am curious what the sprint model's specs are.

Much like the photon, a sprint iphone 4s can be GSM unlocked so that it will work with other US GSM carriers. It would be great if the Iphone 5 for sprint offers GSM and LTE.

---------- Post added at 05:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:13 PM ----------

Because iPhone isn't customizable. Cool different folder names and wallpapers. But so what. I like having different launchers and features. Even if it does mean not having 4g most of the time. iOS is just boring over all and too restricting. That's why android is Better.
[Motorola Photon 4G] xNicoyAx:
The IPhone 5 supports 4G LTE :)

[Motorola Photon 4G] XxCE0xX:
Don't most of the phones coking out support this as a standard now?
[Motorola Photon 4G] xNicoyAx:
IPhones never supported 4G LTE until now. I think they never even had 4G? Least my friends that have an IPhone 4s never got 4G coverage in our area, and we live less than a mile apart.

according to this article Sprint's iphone 5 model is A1429, will have CDMA US support, and GSM world capability via SIM. It will support LTE bands 2100/1800/800/700c//1900Mhz.

It wont support Tmobils LTE band. The same phone will be sold in Japan to KDDI.

I wonder if there will be a way to unlock Sprint's iphone5 to use GSM in the US as well.
