[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ichilouch:
it says Restore actual IMEI. This requires that you previously backed up your /efs folder. Restoring this is documented better and more thoroughly elsewhere. I went into my /efs backup folder and copied nv_data.bin to /efs. This is easy with Root Explorer. Press the filename, select copy, navigate back up and to /efs. At the top of the screen, click Mount R/W. Delete everything in there (menu, multi-select, select all, delete). Paste the file. Long press the file, change permissions. Make it 644 (Owner is Read+Write, others are Read), save. Long press again, scroll toward bottom of menu and Change Ownership. Make it Radio (1001) and Radio (1001), save. Click to Mount R/O and exit. Does He mean that i need my original efs what is i didn't saved it?

Have you read this so saving/backup your EFS folder is a must when you want to use a custom ROM. why?

About the solution on sticking the imei across reboots I am using odin how can i use the guide?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xsenman:
try to do the same process using Odin or use heimdall, download from My Android Collections

But First powerdown, pull out Battery, SIM CARD, and EXT.SD card, press power button for a minute, than powerup without SIM and Ext.SD Card, after flashing and reboot , insert them back

Tips before Flashing:-

Backup all your important files, contacts, SMS, game data, images etc to PC or Ext SD card. or make Nanadroid Backup If you have CWM

Backup your EFS Folder to PC or Ext SD card

Enable USB Debugging on Phone. Touch menu> Settings> Applications> Development>

Charge your battery to more than 50% before you attempt any sort of flashing.

Disable Samsung KIES when using Odin. Kill Kies.exe, KiesTrayAgent.exe, & KiesPDLR.exe using Task Manager on PC

Use only ROM and solution for your model and Wipe x3

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tczhang:
Hi, I am on a Jellybean leak custom ROM and I found that I could set full screen call contact picture, precisely half screen picture. It took me quite some time to change the pictures from a small square pic to the half screen one... I backup my ROM through recovery.

Unfortunately, after I flashed a new ROM and restored from recovery, I found that the half screen pictures were lost! Only small pics left.

Does anyone know how can I backup the big pictures so that I would not lose them after setting again? It would be helpful if I could know which folder are they stored. And is it possible to have them survive after flashing another ROM?

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tczhang:
Anyone is gonna help on this? Thanks.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kangburra:
Why not go back to the backup before you did all the editing.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tczhang:
Actually I did backup and restore it but most of the pictures were gone. Only some (not all) in my "Favorites" remained. It's weird... That's why I would like to know the answer.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kangburra:
Are these Google contacts? If so you probably synced them to Google.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bala_gamer:
JB now supports hd contact images, all you have to do is change the contact images to hd one and sync it with your Google account, and the second step make sure you synced properly ;)

Once you finish this process all you contact images will be in hd on all the jb roms you flash.

Sometimes you need to force sync more than one time to get back hd contacts images back...

Yes I am using Google contacts with background syncing.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EggosEvo:
Disclaimer:this is coming from an employee at a smallish Sprint store, so please know that it's far from confirmed.

So yesterday I was at the Sprint store upgrading to the S3, and I was asking about the S3's JB update. After he told me that it's for sure coming soon(non help on when), and while he was porting my sister's number to my E4GT, he started to tell me that the E4GT would be getting JB, and that Samsung had told their store this information. The lady at the counter next to his had agreed with that he had just told me. I was given no time frame either, just that the device will be getting it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Apk07:
This is general uninformed employee hearsay that happens on absolutely every phone in absolutely every sprint store
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EggosEvo:
I was kinda thinking that. The same guy and lady both said that Sprint would not be getting the Note 2, when they've personally announced that they are and even had a hands-on with the Sprint device in new york. I would make a way better Sprint employee that that guy. But I'm only 16, so that's a no for two years for me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] byrdcfmma:
I hope it happens, but Sprint is probably telling them that to make sure the S2's keep selling
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rockypr:
When JB arrive to Epic Touch, i think all of us will be in the galaxy 3 or note 2 forum postin LOL
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
It's coming for the E4GT, all the rumors from reliable sources point to it.

Your backup source should be the fact that the phone just started rolling out for Virgin and Boost.

(Meaning they're not going to EOS it anytime soon.)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattix724:
^ this guy knows his stuff... if he says its gonna happen. It means its gonna happen.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cubez10:
Sprint will tell you any phone in there will get JB so they can make those sells.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] supersaeed:
they say anything to sell phones
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
...And if you assume they are right you're also the fool. Hopefully lesson learned next time:)

Seriously, it's a point of competition against Apple. You'll probably see even longer support as they get closer to a standard build for most phones; one of the biggest reasons for delays on our device is the fact that more changes are needed.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jamesey:
This thread lost all credibility in the first paragraph. S2 to s3 really? What's the point it's the same phone. Go return and wait for the new nexus or note 2. No reason to blow a 2 yr upgrade on a same generation phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EggosEvo:
I for one think it is a completely different phone. It has a whole different feel from the S2, it's faster and lighter, bigger screen, that physical home button. My sister had me use her upgrade on the first to buy a new phone anyways so she would get my S2. So I still have my own upgrade to use, which probably will go towards the Note 2. On AT&T. I'll be switching once my contract is up in December.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Apk07:
Then you aren't using your upgrade.....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Omar04:
This :p
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dchibro:
Always remember this. Unless that Sprint employee also follows the XDA forums, you probably know more about what's going to happen than he or she does.

That said, I do think this phone will see official JB.

Hy everyone , i've seen that someone could take off memory card from Nexus 7 but is it possible to change this SD card with a 32G for example ??

Thank's ;)

(bad english sorry :) )
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brando56894:
There isn't a MicroSD slot so the only way to add extra storage so far is to use a USB on the go cable with a MicroSD reader and MicroSD or thumbdrive/external HDD.

If you're talking about replacing the internal memory chip with a 32 GB chip, its damn near impossible.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] re1ic:
Make sure you get the full download, I've been downloading it for awhile now. Says I've got like 5 hours left, and yeah it's slow as hell. It's no longer showing up on the FTP site either. This is the second time I've tried to download it so if your DL doesn't match 312MB or whatever it is you didn't get the whole thing. All you should have to do is extract the zip to the root of your micro SD card. I don't think it will work while plugged into your keyboard but I could be wrong. It should automatically see that there is an update for your device and install.

*Edit 2nd Download failed and now unable to access it again since it's not listed anymore. Back to waiting. But the WW version is still on the site, if you don't see it just refresh and it will pop up.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] redvirus:
You will brick your TP.

Can somebody make stock rom (WW) for unlocked devices?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] PhoenixIce22:
Hmmm..

I downloaded the full update from the ASUS website in the last 15 mins, got it onto an SD card into the Prime and it fails with the red triangle.

Then I decide to go back to their website to download it again, figured maybe it was a bad download and they've pulled it from their site! :S Guess that might explain why it didn't work properly!

Only ASUS would publish an update to their public website and have it not be proper!

EDIT: Took me 3 downloads, 1 to PC, 1 to tablet direct and 3rd to PC again using DLM to get it to work properly. Third one, I also used Winrar to extract the first zip, not sure if made a real difference!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] woekje:
Bump!

Pre-rooted please ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] clockwork58:
Watch the typo on the Asus page.

It shows as from top to bottom for the downloads as: US, WW and WW.

Where it should read: US, TW, WW.

So don't download the wrong one. I was halfway down the d/l when I noticed it in the filename.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] gatville:
I downloaded the file onto my pc, unzipped it and put the new zip file onto a micro sd card, inserted it into the Prime and unzipped it - nothing happens after that. Is there something I'm missing?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] re1ic:
Mine was unlocked and had no problem installing the update from the asus site.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] re1ic:
You don't unzip it on your prime. Take the zip you downloaded, extract it. It will be another .zip file. Move that file to the micro card on your device. Your prime should automatically find said file and a notification will be in the bar telling you there is an update to your prime. If not you might try re downloading it again there have been instances of it not finishing due to server issues.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Willrodg:
I tried this, downloaded on mac. Used android tool. So I downloaded, and unzipped. I see Blob and Meta in a folder and have the 10.4.2.15.zip on my SD on my prime. It's 311mb but it doesn't say "update found" or anything.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] clockwork58:
Too much unzipping.

1. Download Zip file from Asus

2. Unzip and it will contain another zip file.

3. Copy that zip file to the root of a Micro SD Card

if you copy Blob files / meta folder to your sd card, you've unzipped too far.

i had problems with OTA so i updated using protato's method(couple days ago) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1909819 ...restoring stock US file since my tablet's firmware was US_V9.4.2.28.

it worked and i was able to update to JB.

i'm just a little confused about the numbers posted at asus.

the US firmware is V10.1.2.15

WW(or is it TW?) is V10.4.2.15

the other WW file is V10.1.2.15

after the JB update... my build number is US_epad-10.4.2.15....which is the number for the WW firmware at asus site.

does this mean i have the WW firmware loaded? am i reading the right number? the build number?

There are stock roms available for installation via a custom recovery including pre-rooted versions. I think this is the route most people would recommend and probably makes the most sense. These files are available all over these forums. Remember to clear your user data.

Update manually

Hi,

Just I want to share my experience with JB update. I was't able to update OTA (my TF201 US was never rooted, never I had custom ROM, only OTA since beginning).

Any way yesterday, I did download from Asus site JB, copy on microSD, start update, reboot ... and failed. I did try few time (I did factory reset...), the same result.

At the end I did:

- extract using Winrar (previous used another karc) - I did read on some post with this, but I don't know if it is matter

- used a microSD formated FAT32 (previous was NTFS) - I suspect this is required

and end was a success.

This is my short story (even the story did start last Thursday ); maybe someone has the same situation as me.

what and how, because i'm afraid of bricking it
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shoey63:
Re: New good and safe kernel:- Go Here and download PhilZ-cwm6-DDLR9-INU-2.5-signed.zip. Put it onto your external SD card and just flash it. It is stock kernel BUT with brickbug removed (So no overclocking, but is latest and performs better than some custom kernels). It also has CWM recovery which also blocks bricking commands so it is DOUBLE SAFE! You can also change bootanimation with this kernel. Bear in mind it works only on TW ROMs based on stock ICS, So no PA CM9, CM10 etc.

What are u looking for in a "good" ROM? Fancy? Similar to stock? Trimmed down? What is ur preference?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] christty31:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] christty31:
aha...

so it's ok to flash another good kernel and a ROM...

how to do it? in a safe way....

sorry if i put so many questions, but i don't want to mess up my beloved phone.....
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shoey63:
OK, so

1) Copy philz kernel and alliance ROM to external SD card

2) Reboot into recovery (vol up+Home+power)

3) Select install zip from SD card and then "choose zip from sdcard"(some kernels have it wrong way round so u may need to select choose zip from "internal" SD card)

4) Select PhilZ-cwm6-DDLR9-INU-2.5-signed.zip and flash.

5) Select advanced and reboot into recovery.

6) U are now on Philz double safe kernel.

7) Go to Wipe Data/Factory Reset and select "yes.... delete all user data"

8) Go back and select Wipe cache partition and Wipe cache

9) Go to advanced and select Wipe Dalvik Cache "Yes.. Wipe Dalvik Cache"

10) Go back (twice) and select Mounts ans Storage and select format /system "yes - format"

11) Anything that says "mount" - do it ( except mount usb storage)

12) Go back and select install zip from sd card same as before.

13) go to new ROM and select it and "yes - Install ....

14) Wait for installation to complete then go back twice and "reboot system now"

15) Phone will take a while to set up so be patient.

16) "Ficeto" Kernel u are now on should also be safe. (just stay on it while on this ROM in case of compatibility issues)

17) Press thanks button on my posts (just joking);)
