Dear TSKXDA,

I did exactly the same way and took a back up then flashed a custom rom and lost baseband version and imei, i then flashed back to stock rom restored EFS via EFS pro but the issue still remains.You can see my numerous posts in this forum,plz help me out thanks in advance
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Please stop quoting people into your thread. This is unacceptable!

I have given you your answer. Flash the official Indian MG5 ROM via Odin. If you still have the problem, get the phone repaired.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gauravinvouge:
Dear rootSU thanks for the quickest reply,i'l definitely flash this rom but tell me do i flash via CWM??

and whatever happened to the backup of efs i had taken was it not worth it or even the restoration wasn't worth it?

thanks in advance.......
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Lets take one step at a time.

Flash the MG5 India ROM, download from sammobile.com and flash in Odin. Go to general > sticky roll-up thread and read the return to stock threads in there (there are 2) - the 2nd one has more detail about resetting the counter with triangle away.

Flash back to stock and see if it works. If it does not work, we need to get a repair done. if it DOES work, we can investigate what we can do next. Your backup may or may not work, we can test that later IF it works on stock.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gauravinvouge:
Thanks a million i'l do this right away and get back to you.

and m sorry for quoting i thoight that would be more personal but got it and understood.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
actually, I apologise about that - I must have got confused. I thought this was your thread and you were quoting people in from other threads. Sorry
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gauravinvouge:

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gauravinvouge:
ok you are the boss whatever you say thanks...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gauravinvouge:
Dear rootSU(forgive me for quoting me but i feel it's much better this way)

I've flashed back to stock rom as you guided and i've got the following to submit(plz be patient with me as you earlier have been) (interestingly all my earlier applications and customizations are as earlier.i had thought that i'l loose everything)

1) BASEBAND VERSION-I9300DDEMG2

2)Got signal strength back but emergency calls only:(

3)mobile network state-disconnected

4)IMEI-004999010640000

5)IMEI SV-01

6)serial number-00000000000

7) device status-normal

8)when i search for networks it do gives me a few options of cellular operators in my region but when i select my previous provider it says unable to connect try later:(

9) My phone is unrooted and i can't access efs folder on root explorer and on the normal file manager the efs folder is empty.

10) when i had made a backup of my efs folder via EFS PRO i had a efs pro back folder in the file manager which is still present with this file "GTI9300_20130823_192248.tar.gz,(315.69 kb)

11) I had also copied my EFS folder before flashing anything in a separate folder which is still present with 18 files in it.

but thanks to you i've got my BASEBAND VERSION now guide me further....i knwo it's asking for too much but plz help

thanks again:good::good:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Ok...1) quoting is fine. I thought earlier you were going into other threads, quoting people then copying that into this thread. This was my mistake and I apologise for that.

2) If you still have bad imei, you have big problems. Personally - I would take it to a mobile phone shop and ask them to fix it.

You could re-root, delete efs folder contents and restore efs backup but im not sure it will help.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gauravinvouge:
hi I'l try the re root method only tell me

1)the EFS folder contents you are referring to should it be the one i would be able to see in the root explorer after rooting and should i delete the folder itself or the contents only

thanks for your help
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
You can't delete the folder. Only contents. Try restore backup. If that fails, delete again then put extracted contents of backup in same place.

Its risky but some have had success.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
First root it.

Then ensure you have:

1) an extracted backup on /sdcard

2) EFS pro backup ready to restore

Only then delete efs.

In fact before those things, flash philz recovery and take an EFS "custom backup" now too.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gauravinvouge:
hi rootSU

I'm rooted and few things which i must share with you;-

1) I've a EFS back up folder with tar file in normal mode.

2) an EFS folder(in the root explorer) with almost 18 files in it the few of these are

a) files

b) .nv_core.bak

c) .nv_core.bak.md5

d) .nv_data.bak

e) .nv-data.bak.md5

f) bluetooth

g) bluetooth

h) factory app

j) imei-this is empty

k)nv.log

l)nv-data.bin

m)nv_data.bin.md5

n)wifi

3) Now should i delete this very folder and then try restoring via EFS PRO back up .

4) Do you have any idea about the working of EFS PRO.I've tried earlier also but with zero results or should i try with a new method.

thanks in advance
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
You cannot delete the folder. Only the contents but yes, /efs at the root of the device.

Then restore. Try efs pro. May work better if efs empty before trying. If no change, delete /efs content again then use extract of .tar file but before all this, backup existing efs with philz recovery
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gauravinvouge:
HI,I've philz recovery installed and would be taking a back up of efs in a while(waiting for phone to be above 80% battery).In the meanwhile plz make me understand this

'If no change, delete /efs content again then use extract of .tar file'?

thanks in advance
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
What's to understand? I cannot explain more if you cannot tell me what you dont understand.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gauravinvouge:
the .tar file which i've two copies of one in my pc and one in my s3 will be used in EFS PRO itself so which .tar file are you refr=erring to when you mentioned if no change then delete efs content again and use .tar file???
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Step 1 - Take an efs backup with Philz as a precaution

Step 2 - You already have a backup of efs.tar somewhere (from EFS PRO?). create /sdcard/efs and extract the .tar backup here

Step 3 - Delete everything in /efs

Step 4 - Restore with EFS pro*

* Still having problems?

Step 5 - Delete everything in /efs

Step 6 - Using a root explorer, copy everything from /sdcard/efs to /efs**

**Still having problems

Step 7 - return to stock and send for repair.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gauravinvouge:
hi,

step 2) after extracting the .tar backup i get an efs.img,should i transfer this in the efs folder newly created?

thanks a millions rootSU i've restored and now i'm running full network.please tell me how can i be of some help
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Oh. No a .img is no use.

Glad its fixed
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gauravinvouge:
thanx rootSU for your time and help.although i've few points to discuss with you,if you please:-

1) I had got an .img file as a backup from EFS PRO.Earlier while restoring i was using the .tar file saved on pc(EFS PRO saves .img file on pc and phone as well) but it didn't work.

2) although with your guidance i deleted the contents of EFS folder and chose format EFS in EFS PRO but after format this time EFS didn't showed the .tar file on my pc,it showed only the file on my phone(which again is an .img file) to be chosen and then i restored and phew it was done

3) so i want to know what's the exact procedure

and exact steps to be followed so that it becomes a set of rules for every gti9300 owner to follow.

thanks again do let me know how can be i of any help to you.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
I have no idea what you're talking about. Sorry.

I just gave you some things to try to fix your issue. Nothing more. Your problem was unique to you
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
ok then please let me know what kind of roms suit gti9300 a

Any rom why not flash a simple rom with no aroma first .

jje
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gauravinvouge:
Dear jje,

i had earlier done that and flashed successfully only glitches were:-

1) before flashing i had taken a titanium backup but after flashing the titanium showed no backup so contacts missing was an issue.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blacks0uL:

I have same problem

e:failed to mount /efs

but my phone dsnt starts just hangs on samsung logo

i flash him like 20 times 4.0.4 4.1.2 4.3 writing firmware but stuck on start screen

any advice?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] SamHaLeKe:
I've MovieNand myself and pritty happy on CM10, but this is a good idea for those on iNand and willing to stay on old partition layout.

If you keep it as an exact copy of the original CM with the exception of the partition layout you would do a good job here.

And don't listnen to can you add this, can you add that, can you change this. Keep it original with nly one difference ;)

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] fishears:
Thanks for the constructive reply. That's my plan really, I've only touched the kernel features because there are no 3rd party kernels & there are a couple of things I needed.

The kernel is based on Stock CM10

How to see if i have movinand or iNand?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] fishears:
Look in the file /sys/devices/platform/s3c-sdhci.0/mmc_host/mmc0/mmc0:0001/name

If it starts with "S" you have iNand (fast) if it starts with "M" you have MoviNand

Well finally you made a thread for your rom .I am using your nightlies. I flashed today's nightly (0920) must say it is excellent to have all cm10 stock features and 2gb for apps without any problems. If my phone has faster chip I'd prefer to use all 100% of it's opportunities right?

Thanks very much.

Hi fishears,

I've checked the device info's CAL date is on Jan, 2011 and the file in mmc0:0001/name is starting with "M".

Is that mine phone is consider new device that comes with MoviNand? Do you recommend me to flash your unofficial CM10 with original partition layout? What instruction do I have to follow if I come from other JB rom?

Thank you :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] fishears:
According to most reports, people with the MoviNand chip were finding CM10 to be slow before the partition change. Based on that, I'd advise you to stick with Official CM10

Having said that, some people reported no lags with MoviNand sooo...

If you flash this over the official CM10 then it will wipe your device. Same as happened when the layout changed in the official build.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] johnsin5393:
Thanks for reply. Is that mean, no matter flash official or unofficial cm10, I still have to make full 3 wipes before flash rom even when just update every nightlies version? I just hope it doesn't need me to factory reset while I flash it or when I leave. Thank you :victory:
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Wrath0Lucifer:
Great stuff thanx..Hoping that there would be simultaneous build with every CM10 nightly release. Any possibility of sharing the builds through torrents? Always found them to be faster and easily downloadable to the phone itself.

Thanx again..

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sphinix:
I promised I would come back and tell everyone how my repair @ ASUS would go. I first called ASUS to make an RMA, but they just reffered to their website. So I filled in the form as honost as possible: "Hi ASUS, I've bricked my TF300. First I upgraded to JB, afterwards unlocked the bootloader, replaced it and after a wipe of the settings it won't boot at all. Please have it repaired, I'm aware of any costs or warranty-loss."

They picked it up last friday in Belgium, shipped it to Czech, where it arrived on Monday. I prommised myself I wouldn't check on the status for at least a week, but I couldn't stop myself :D

Yesterday I checked, and it was in status: Final testing. An hour later it was picked up by DHL again to be shipped back to Brussels. This afternoon I received it, and indeed: all issues solved! The note from ASUS didn't say anything about my story, the problem description was: System hangs up :victory:

So: Fixed in warranty, picked up and returned within a week, bootloader locked again, flashed back to stock JB!

Couldn't ask for better service!

Good luck out there ;)

Lucky - my non-unlocked TF300TG has been away for a month and a half now. I'm generally a pretty patient person, but this is starting to piss me off. Especially considering it's just a software problem. I want to find whomever decided to lock down APX mode and slap them silly across their face.

Hi,

I red your history with fate...

Sended it last friday, hope that the service is the same in Canada...

Thanks for your story...

But, as my wife will tell you: It won't stop me to root back my device.

In the mean time I bought a Nexus 7 tablet. It's very hard no to root.... ;)

:laugh:

My gf went: How the hell did you break it after a week?? Well, my answer was: because I could :) Never had a softbrick I couldn't fix before, the thing I did wrong was mostly: Starting to screw around after midnight, the "Oh, let's just do this one more thing now everything went so well...". Lesson learned! By the way, it returned stocked on JB, so I'm gonna wait a little bit until NVFLASH can be performed on this as well. But indeed, it won't stop me from messing with it again ;) (Only this time on a Sunday afternoon with some calming music on the background :cool:)

Just so everyone doesn't get confused, there are different gapps floating around. Some have these apps included, the majority don't. If they're not included just download it on the market.
