[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carrd:
This is very odd I have heard of the EFS becomming corrupt and changing the imei to 0000 but not SV part of the IMEI. Have you tried flashing back to stock and reflashing the rom.

Also did you back up your EFS I think omega rom automatically backs it up or at least there is an option. If so there is plenty of tutorials on here
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ev0d3vil:
Yes backed it up already. Whats sv number? Should i restore my original EFS? I still can call out though. Will restoring my original EFS make it back to /01?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carrd:
I think as long as everything is working see how you get on. The SV number is Software Version Number but I dont know why this would have changed and what are the effects of it changing are. I have flashed several roms and not come accross this, keep your efs back up and see how you get on.

If anyone disagrees with that statement please reply, I am not an expert and this is purely my own opnion.

May also be worth asking in the Omega Rom thread.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ev0d3vil:
Ok tried doing a restore using ktool, still nothing changed, imei still intact and sv still 04. I guess it might have changed when i flashed the omega rom. Btw, i have lots and lots of backup of my efs. Everything in my com, phone etc so that if anything goes wrong, i still have hope. A trip to Samsung sucks tho :(
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] btemtd:
Can you still make calls sms etc...??? I also found something there is a hidden menu in my I9305 I am sure its in the I9300 aswell but I saw option saying [5] run EFS SYNC I wonder what that does

the Hidden Menu *#197328640# Option 5 says EFS sync..

I wonder
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carrd:
Luckily your phone seems to be ok so thats something. a trip to samsung definatly sucks good job we got XDA as most things people know how to resolve or have a mod for :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ev0d3vil:
Yes, calls and sms works fine! Just that i'm bugged by the sv number change. As i said above, i keep efs backups everywhere just in case something goes wrong. Pays to be a lil paranoid about it.:fingers-crossed:

My imei sv changed too...idk why but the phone is working normally

I recommend to do this:

- Flash phone back to stock ICS

- Root phone

- Restore EFS backup

- Check IMEI again

Hope this helped,

You're recommending a method that is possible to brick a device if something goes wrong...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CodeOMG:
IMEI changing isn't a good thing... OP says it's just changed after flashing a ROM. I'd take no risk and would flash stock back. BTW, you're really stupid if you break your phone with flashing stock.

[Samsung Galaxy Mini] dheeraj (dhlalit11):
Enabling swap may add some virtual memory to your sdcard, but it may reduce the performance and speed

the objective of this how-to is to get everybody to know how they can enable swap with the help of a file on their on

swapper 2 application will do this in a much better way and it would be an automated process

this post is only for knowledge purpose

the recommendation is to use "swapper 2" available in play store

Steps:-

1. open any file manager and create a folder called "swap"

2. open that folder and create an empty file called "swap"

3. now open Terminal emulator and type

mkswap /sdcard/swap/swap [B]amount in KB[/B]

normally amount in KB should be equal or more to your current RAM

creating the swap file may take ~2 minute

4.now type in terminal

swapon /sdcard/swap/swap

the above command will activate the swap

5. now we will set the swappiness, for that purpose another command needs to be put in the terminal that is

echo 100 > /proc/sys/vm/swappiness

4th and 5th steps are needed to run after every reboot so for that purpose I have created a script just download it and set it to run on boot in script manager or put it in init.d if you have it, you can download script from here

now everything is set just put busybox free and see if you get swap working or not

any doubt please ask
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] badnamess:
not found

i enter it in terminal :

mkswap/sdcard/swap/swap 1048576

[HD Mini General] Abdulla_91:
hello freinds

i have a big problem :( , i tried to make factory rest that used in wm6.5 (vloum down + power ) but to the android :rolleyes:

and after that the phone always boot to fastboot mode even i cant get the recovery mode , i tried to install wm6.5 but it also stuck on the fastboot , and also i tried many bootloader like mr schould or mr menjami boot loader but it gives the same error ,

notice: just when i install the lk bootloader of menjumi i can access the recovery mode and i install the android rom and when reboot it stuck on the same error and i have to instal the recovery again to get into it

this is the errors

press VOLUME UP for RECOVERY

press VOLUME DOWN for FASTBOOT

flash read image :failed 319 errors

ERROR: cannot read recovery header

ERROR:cant read the kernel image

ERROR: could not do normal boot. Reverting to fastboot mode.

ENTERING FASTBOOT MODE

udc_start()

please help me to fix my hd mini ,
[HD Mini General] iPlasm:
Abdulla, this is very normal, just do it again!! :) I mean reinstall the Recovery, do twice time.

This is because the Recovery hasn't been installed fully, and no Android ROM installed (or corrupted), so this will happen any time if that.

and also, you did factory reset for WM6.5 and this will erase all of them.

Don't worry, this doesn't mean phone bricked :D

OTA updates fail for me because I have done custom tweaks to my system.

With the last update before this one, it tried a few times, stopped, failed.. never tried again.

This time, it tried 2 times yesterday and failed. Which I expected.

However, I woke up to it having tried again and failed.. I thought it was over like last time.

Any idea on how I can kill this and stop it from trying to update OTA over and over? I don't want it.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] jeanclaudevandamme:
I thought I'd just do a poll, this really could apply to any phone so I put this poll in a popular phone forum section. I remember for my SGS2, it took 7 tries (ie 7 protectors) to get one on perfectly, ie no dust no bubbles whatsoever. That equated to a total wastage of $30+ before finally nailing one.

Just got a new phone (Note 2), bought the Steinheil Ultra Crystal. 1st one in the pack, about 10 pieces of dust. 2nd one in the pack, 3 pieces of dust. Total wastage, $18. FML

I have found if it's not on perfect 1st time, lifting it up to dab away dust with scotch tape introduces more dust.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Jeurum_92:
Apply it in your bathroom with some steam generated by hot shower or crane.

Helps preventing dust particles under your protector:)

[Galaxy S III Accessories] silkshocker:
What I find helpful is place the phone on a newspaper. Do not use cloth because it would only create cloth particles and sticking them onto your phone as your breath when applying the screen. In addition, wipe off the screen with a clean cloth dampened with a little ethyl alcohol. Allow the screen to dry and then use another cloth (the ones that come with your screen protectors) to wipe off. Make sure you do this under as much lighting as possible. Once you don't see any specs of dust on the screen start lining up the screen protector from one end of the phone so you know exactly how the screen looks on the phone. The final steps involve peeling off the cover and laying it on the screen. Do this slowly. Press down on the screen as you peeling off the cover. I would not peel off the screen and then stick it onto the phone. This will most likely increase your chance of getting minute dust particles sticking on the screen. Always check for dust on the screen as you go. If you see any, stop right away and blow it off and reapply. This method does not completely prevent the dust particles from sticking onto the screen protector but it will minimize it.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] proper69:
One. I clean the phone with my shirt and water. Clean it with the microfiber cloth. Peel about 1/8 inch off the screen protector, apply to phone slowly while removing film and use the card provided in screen protector box to flatten it our with bubbles. Any bubbles and I lift slightly and re apply. Easy peezy

[Galaxy S III Accessories] SLver:
where I work, we have controlled rooms to avoid particulate in the materials, I tried in these rooms, and I can assure that it's better to do it in the shower (LOL)

Or you can buy one of these protectors that include an spray, it's completely safe to put on of these, even in the case you screw it up, you can remove it, and apply more spray and put the protector again.

(i will never buy a normal protector after use the ones with an spray included)

Here's a tip if you are getting a lot of dust under it.

Take 2 sticky tapes and place one on the corner of the screen. Lift your protector up with one piece of tape and get that dusty ***** underneath it with the other one.

Also a very good tip! If you are experiencing a lot of dust in your environment whilst placing the protector. Place the protector in the bathroom after a long shower! No kidding!
