Ok, I'm not trying to be rude here, but DON'T USE ODIN other than to flash the .pit file.

Now that you have the .pit file flashed successfully (and no, I have no idea if that is the correct one for the i9250, but it's all that I could find), now use OMAP_Flash, and then try flashing the ICL53F boot and system images in fastboot.

Hello friends

I am buying Sony Xperia U which I think is a great smartphone. Can someone please tell me a few tips and tricks to save battery on my phone and The best ROM and Kernel for Xperia U (according to you)?

Any help regarding this is appreciated!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] imanesaurus:
Activated the auto brightness, or just make the brightness to the lowest.

In ICS for xperia u have a feature called extended baterry, just activated it and ur battery will be saving.

About rom just go to U development section, and look for the best review from another user in a rom thread.

Sorry for my bad english

Why not use Flashtool? If you intend to flash any Rom then it really dont matter how your device gets ICS.

I flashed st25a on my st25i without any problems. I have since rooted my device and added a few tweaks to the stock Rom. I will flash a custom Rom soon, when they add a few more features and a bit more stability.

I have a "bl unlock = no" device
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] lalitindoria:
Oh :/ Yes I have flashed ICS. The problem was with Windows 8 driver signature verification. I solved it somehow and flashed using FlashTool. Thanks for your help guys!

So you have bl unlock="no" that means you can not unlock your device's bootloader?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lespou:
Hi there.

Hope someone can guide me on this. I've been reading all the posts related to unknown imei, lost efs folder, etc and tried several things to solve the problem, but anything worked out.

The phone got wet with some raindrops (very few raindrops). Warranty was lost because they told me the motherboard was damaged by water. At first the battery exhausted in no time and it didn't charged properly, but a couple of months later everything seems to be all right except that it tells there's no IMEI, and the SIM card isn't read by the phone. Later on I've brought it to another technical service where they've told me the motherboard wasn't damaged, but the SIM connector. They wanted me to pay a big amount of euros for such a little piece. I picked up the phone and decided to investigate by myself.

The actions done to the phone: I fisically opened it and applied a connector cleaning spray; then I upgraded it to ICS and finally rooted it. Then I tried lots of solutions that are posted in the forum, like the GSII_repair, busybox, backup of the efs folder via android-sdk, efs pro, etc.

The only thing about efs that I can read in the phone are two files: an efs.tar.gz and an efs.img.

The efs.tar.gz seems to contain everything needed to restore EFS folder: nv_data.bin, nv_data.bin.md5, etc.

I have no idea how to tidy all this mess up. I know that it's possible that the phone won't work again because of the rain, but I want to sold all the possibilities out before using it only as an ipod galaxy, and I resist thinking that if it was damaged by water the phone woulnd't work ok like it does.

What do I want? Trying to give it its IMEI number again and seeing whether it catches signal. Any idea on how to do that with the files efs.tar or efs.img.

Thank you so much.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 23732:
Since you have some kind of an EFS backup, then you can use kTool, in the Google Play Store, to restore that backup.

kTool requires root.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lespou:
Hi and thank you for the reply.

I've downloaded this hc-ktool and tried to restore EFS from backup via efs.tar.gz and via efs.img but anyone worked out. It still says "unknown IMEI". Any idea about why it didn't work?

Do you have unknown baseband problem? If yes, then try flashing another modem via Odin.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lespou:
In the baseband section it tells UNKNOWN, as well as the telephone number, IMEI, IMEISW and Bluetooth. D'you think changing the modem will change all the other unknown stuff? I'll try it anyway, thanks.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lespou:
Nothing to do with the modem. I changed it and everything's still the same.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lespou:
Still rounding the problem... I installed root explorer and I saw there is an original efs folder in the root of the memory, not in the internal sdcard of the phone. So, what can the problem be? Is the phone really damaged? Or do someone think is only a software matter (is the efs folder corrupted?). Anyone can help?

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deltacode:
Rooted my new Note 2 using the great toolkit simply to run Titanium backup as moving from an old phone.

Now when i go to the software updates i get the 'Your device has been modified. Software updates are not available' message.

I did have the insecure bootloader but have since flashed on the secure bootloader.

Looking around, i know i can triangle away and odin a stock rom but then i obviously lose all my apps and data again.

Does anybody know a way to keep my root and apps but still be able to do ota updates ?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GhorX:
1) Using Triangle Away and/or flashing ROM via PC Odin doesn't clear your apps and their settings, so if you will use same ROM as you have rooted now, all your apps should work

2) Dont panic and wait to update with something usefull for you, before reflash.

Have you actually tried triangle away? I use it but even then my device state still displays modified
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kittipo:
Yes. Me too.I use triangle away and install stock rom and wipe data and factory reset but system status in bootlader(Vol down + Home + power) still custom(counter 0,current binary samsung official) and menu setting -- About device -- status -- device status Modified.

I search triangle away (xda-developers).they answer

1.- On my SGS3/Note2/etc, Download Mode says my System is modified, and Triangle Away does not reset it

Triangle Away attempt to reset this status and block it from coming back, but it depends on the firmware. It works on the ALE8 firmware, try flashing that if you absolutely must reset this value.

Where is ALE8 Firmware (Full stock rom) for Note2 ? I can't find it?:crying:

2.- On the SGS3/Note2/etc, System->Settings->About device->Status still shows "Modified"

This is outside the scope of Triangle Away. The "system" status is not even always resettable in the bootloader. If you are going for warrenty, you need to also reflash a full stock firmware and wipe your device. If they boot up your device and find root apps, you're not going to get any warranty anyway. If you do such a full stock reflash and wipe, the "Modified" value will go away.

I try reflash Full stock firmware by download from sammobile.com and wipe but Modified still shows.:crying:

The only way you can get OTA is if you odin flash stock rom.

After you have done this, you can receive available OTA rom, flash it and then reroot if you wish.

Exactly the same thing happened to me - I reset counter with Triangle Away and then flashed Stock ROM with ODIN.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nacos:
For OTA to work you have to be ABSOLUTE 100% stock, meaning:

- NO root

- NO custom recovery

- NO any other custom binaries

There is a thread here explaining how to bring back your Note 2 to factory default (Status may still show Modified)

Another way to bring back your phone to factory default is to flash the unmodified stock firmware (Sammobile - specific to your model) using odin. (Currently the only guaranteed method to get your phone back to Status Normal)

And yet another method through which you may still be able (depending on which version of Kies you're using) to get back your phone to factory default is through Kies (Tools > Firmware upgrade and initialization), but it seems lately Samsung is playing "tail chasing" and while verifying the Status of the phone during this process, at some point you may get "the device has been modified with a customized software". The ironic advice is to use the Firmware upgrade and initialization method (which is exactly what you were trying to use anyway) however, if clicked OK or closed that warning window, the initialization process is cancelled and you'll be brought back to the main page. In my opinion this is Samsung's hypocritical way of dealing with all this, without actually admitting.

However, the good news is, these methods should only be used if you want to either sell your phone in its original state or to claim warranty. If you're simply concerned about not being able to update your phone when an update gets officially released...well, don't! There are plenty of links and ways to actually get the "goodies" as soon as it comes out. ;)

im new to android plz bare with me

i have rooted my device as well since i purchased it i got the 4.1.1 android OS factory installed ( stock ) , im very bad with keyterms of the smartphone android industry since u guys speak with keyterms that dont clear my knowledge still even after research about this ROM , FLASHING and other stuff that u meantion ... which gives me the creeps..

my rooted device has a problem now , i cannot update it says my device is modified after root is performed however i have rooted it according to XDA developer something called auto-root ,

which keeps ur operating system unaltered just adding root privileges .

how do i update to 4.1.2 now?

reflashing a rom still dont make sense to me , but in my theory of what it sounds like does it mean getting the full android OS 4.1.1 galaxy note 2 edition stock to reinstall and fix attributes of the modified device?

is their an alter method or a best way method other then re installation ? doesnt the device itself has reset to factory setting safebox to reinstall my device back to factory then perform update then perform root ?

i have backed up my device with t1tan1um backup completely. i appreciate your help since im very fond of your works xda , especially the screenstandby , ive donated :)

ok what i did is downloaded triangle away after reseting my counter , now device is not modfiedd , however checking for update loading takes too long , i left it now since 10 min .. still checking

Full factory wipe using the stock recovery what do u mean by that ? do u mean go to options reset device and wipe all data from within the device without hooking it up to a pc?

i might be a month like this asking question before i ever take a step , really concerend since my phone is running perfectly now an update just adds some features which isnt a biggie but im really curious why all this root stuff and update doesnt collide perfectly to the mix like a normal operating system of linux , this is frustrating , tell me if my steps is correct

my phone has no customization i followed auto-root guide to keep my factory operating system in default an just adding root privileges

step 1....

full factory wipe from wtihin my ss galaxy note2 options <--- is my info right?

then......

everything back to how samsung sells their devices the original android Operating System of my phone version and serial number .

step 2

update my phone ......

step 3 & 4 need answers plz

install t1tan1um backup to restore my apps & settings & screen arrangements ?

or root device first then install t1tan1um back up to perform the restore?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nacos:
I would highly recommend you to start by going here and read as much as you can. There are tons of excellent guides, FAQ, tutorials, advices here and many other places on XDAdevelopers. Try to start by understanding the concepts, the theory behind rooting, backing up using TB and/or NANDroid, custom recoveries (CWM/TWRP), MOD's, radio/modems, etc. Unless you familiarize yourself with all this terminology and clearly understand what they are and how they work you cannot know whether you truly need them and/or how to get around when problems occur - and they surely will. Like any beginning it may be somewhat difficult and occasionally frustrating, but the time spent now to learn more will certainly pay off when you'll get to apply the knowledge. Basically you protect your investment on long term.

...oh, and something else: before you truly get to master all the above concepts & methods and you also contributed a little bit to the community, please refrain from even insinuating that a developer may have not delivered on their promises. Especially here, there is more then meets the eye.

NOTHING CAN REPLACE THE EXPERIENCE!! Good luck! :fingers-crossed:
