Hello,

Already took the appliance service center, but they said they need to replace the motherboard and U charged me $ 238.00.

I thought absurd, said the device was installed with pirated software just because I root and installed Perseus Kernell.

The unit is with original firmware version 4.1.2 downloaded from SamMobile and still said the software was pirated.

I would like to find some solution, since the unit is brand new and does not intend to spend U $ 238.00.

Thank you ...

So what does this mean? Which path is it talking about?

Also does anyone have any reliable and simple alternative methods of restoring the efi folder? I've tried a few methods (including this one), but none of them seem to work.

Taken EFS backup

Hi I have taken efs partition backup by using ES file explorer as well using this tool.

I hope I should not worry much now :)

Thanks for this easy tool.

just one question, I got on warning message about one file not found before this tool says successfully backup..

Why it was that?

I can try again and provide your exact message or full sysout if you want.

Did you took backup using this tool before trying to restore????
[Galaxy S III General] sanju_143:
there is a way of backing up the efs folder.....there is an application in the play store named "ktool"

if that dont work for u..just flash m4 modem in the recovery​

hi all..

is there any Backup\restore applicaiton for s3 eu android 4.3.?
[Galaxy S III General] Mudwiggle:
Great Tool

Thanks for a very handy tool. Just a couple of things to note: You do need to have "busybox" installed (to tar the efs image) and the license for SuperSU pro (to allow ADB to run). This is on a Samsung S3 I9300.

Imei number from backup

Hi,

Is there a way to read and know the IMEI number of my device from the EFS or the modem file without restore the backup???

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy S III General] PrevosHD:
As i see this post i made myself an backup of my IMEI, in case i broke it somehow...

if the restore works i cannot tell, but thx :good:

PS: [MENTION=4930210]aldrinvasco[/MENTION]

yes there is..

1. Under the Battery it shows your IMEI

2. USSD code: *06# (type that in the phone app / call app, idk) and it should show you the IMEI

[Off-topic] Evostance:
I've been working on a website on/off for some time and im struggling to get it done on my own. From my knowledge there isn't a singular platform that allows android ROMs to be distributed, shared, updated with changelogs, updates pushed to phones and more.

Sure, there are websites & forums that act as ROM listing directories, but they usually stop there. I'm hoping to change that.

What am I after?

I'm after people that are willing to help out on a project in any free time they can spare. If we can get a experienced team together, then i'm sure it will progress much faster than I can do myself.

Expertise?

* PHP Developers

* HTML/CSS Developers

* Java Developers

* Interface Developer

* Social API integration

Requirements?

* You must be a team player, non of this 'One Man Band' stuff.

* Experience in the area - proof of any prior projects, artwork etc please.

* Be able to dedicate some of your free time towards achieving this goal.

* Drive to be part of something that could potentially become more.

Send me a message, email, chat request, G+ post if you are interested.

Oh, and if you see this message, please share it!

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PFittech:
First: every my ROM is using sources from another developers. Android is open source! Every dev have sources from another f.e. samsung FW , samsung is using google sources, same CM and AOKP too are using AOSP sources its OPEN SOURCE.

Second: I have permissions from WANAM(you can ask him .) and I write him PM before using his sources evrything is OK.

if I don't rename wanam string to my it's doesn't matter.

[Nexus S General] Prototypeuk:
Does anyone know the best way to provide google with realtime data from my Nexus S to help them update the realtime live traffic data?

Reason I ask is they say it is google maps which will provide them with details of my speed and location so they can work out the live traffic status but my problem is if I leave google maps open the phone goes to sleep and when you wake it the GPS has been turned to standby thus meaning it has lost my live location and stopping google from being able to use my location in the traffic.

http://mashable.com/2012/03/29/google-maps-traffic-data/

Help please :good
[Nexus S General] niteh@wk:
Maps services always run in the background as needed. You do not need to run the Maps app to provide your location data. As long as you opted in location services it will provide Google your data in the background.
[Nexus S General] Prototypeuk:
How when it needs the GPS to provide an accurate location so it can tell what road I am on, You can tell my GPS hasn't locked for sometime because it takes ages to find satellites so it can't be using GPS?
[Nexus S General] niteh@wk:
If GPS is not available, it uses the cell towers and triangulates your location along with other users. Not as accurate as GPS but Google aggregates the data from different users to provide more accurate traffic info.

Hi Guys,

I am new to asus system.

I have a major problem. When I updated the system firmware it worked fine. But the Camera firmware update doesn't install and

keeps giving me error. I cannot use the camera at all.

the update is WW_epad-9.4.5.30-2012907

does anybody have a zip file for the camera firmware because I couldn't find one.

Can anybody help out here? Thank you very much in advance.

[Asus Transformer TF700] flhthemi:
Ok I'm a noob...but I'm thinking logically. If you have any other camera apps installed you might try removing them then cold restart then try the update again.

I had the same issue, it eventually fixed itself somehow. I kept getting an error asking me to retry to cancel. Retrying just brought up the same error. And rebooting just did the same.

Hi,

I had rooted my HTC sensation and had a custom ROM. For some reason i had to restore a nandroid backup. After completing the restore, i restart the phone but its stuck in htc splash screen.

I am not able to reach Recovery screen / HBOOT screen again. I tried Volume down + Power button, its not working ( maybe my vol key is bad ). Also, phone is not getting recognised by computer through USB cable to run commands from there.

Any suggestions as to what i should do next ??

Eventhough I press volume down + power together, it takes to me to the HTC splash screen. If i try the same by connecting it to the comp through usb cable, nothing happens. Just connected to comp and tried ABD command, it says <waiting for device>.

Did you removed the battery and re inserted it?

Need help on my micro SDHC card, it has become unreadable on laptop (Win 7) & android - Froyo (GT-I5801)

I have Verbatim 8 gb Micro SDHC card, was working fine since last one year, recently few days before i was copying data from cell to laptop; some file gave copy error. i removed and reinserted the data cable. Since then card error came as unable to read the card.

Tried to format from Cell, Laptop all in vain..

Tried SDD formatter tool to format it, it shows read protect error.

Then i downloaded HDD Low format tool, tried format it showed

"Format Error occurred at offset 0: 2 - Media was unplugged"

I checked with Western Digital's Windows Data Lifeguard Diagnostics tool

"Test Option: WRITE ZEROS " test showed error

Results below :-

Can someone help me in suggesting what to do...?:confused:

Please help me guys....:(
[General Accessories] KingAmir:
The card itself may be faulty or corrupt. This means that it will never be readable and is useless.

I think it may have disconnected while it was being copied to.

Try cleaning the contacts on the card or even trying it in a different PC.

Hit thanks if you found this useful.

Hi all,

I have the following concern - am I used to plastic screen protectors, which in most cases reduce the screen quality. I want to try glass but I think that it is possible that the tempered glass screen protector can actually scratch the screen under certain contitions, as most of them are really hard (for example a lot of pressure or chipping of the protector).
